The war banner was only three-foot-tall and made of some unknown material. Several ancient characters had been written on it in flamboyant calligraphy.
Wang Chong didn't recognize these ancient characters, but he could still recognize their meaning from their shape.
The Origin Immortal War Banner!
A thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind when he saw this banner made of some unknown material.
The Formation Elder had once said that all powerful large-scale formations had a special object serving as the center of the formation, just like the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner. The center of the Origin Immortal Formation was clearly this war banner.
As long as I pull out this banner, I can destroy the formation.
Wang Chong said to himself. After expending so much energy, he had finally reached this place.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a massive boom resounded in his ears.
As Wang Chong watched, the world swayed as a dreadful energy erupted from beneath the altar.
This energy poured into the war banner, causing it to rapidly transform. In the blink of an eye, it had become a blood-red crystal pole more than twenty feet long and as thick as a bowl. Even the triangular yellow banner had swelled to several dozen times its original size.
Bang!
A majestic energy surged out of the Origin Immortal War Banner in a pillar of light and into the ceiling of the dimension.
A moment later, Wang Chong sensed that this dreadful energy had divided into thousands of strands that surged toward the outside of the formation.
Rumble!
At the same time, everyone heard the familiar rumbling of the earth from all directions. The power of the entire formation was strengthened once again at this moment.
"It's over! We're really done for! The formation's gotten even stronger! We can't survive! "
In a certain part of the formation, an unaffiliated martial artist kneeled on the ground, his eyes brimming with despair as he looked in the direction of the rumbling.
"Are we really going to die here? I can't accept this! Someone save us! I don't want to die here! "
In another part of the formation, a martial artist covered in wounds was kneeling on the ground.
"It's gotten stronger again! All of us are going to die this time! "
Bang, bang, bang. More and more people fell to their knees, their eyes filled with despair.
After going through a long battle, they had consumed a lot of their aura energy, and even the pills they had on them had been used up. In the face of the endless increase in the power of the array, no one could resist it.
"Ancestor! Those bugs are here again. "
A hoarse voice filled with fear echoed in the void.
In the third layer of the formation, the Five Ancestor Alliance experts were covered in wounds, their eyes brimming with fear as they stared at the approaching golden beetles.
In front of them, the Black Yin Ancestor, Luo Qiyin, seemed to see nothing at all. His robes flapped in the wind as he stared gravely at the center of the formation.
While these golden-armored beetles were formidable, the true danger for the Black Yin Ancestor lay in the core of the formation.
"It's too powerful. It's impossible for anyone to break this formation! I was too simple-minded! "
The Black Yin Ancestor said to himself.
Even a titan of the evil path like him had expended a great deal of energy to get here from the outer perimeter of the formation. The attacks from the various formation gates were endless, and for the first time, the Black Yin Ancestor felt like he would never be able to defeat them.
Just the outer perimeter of the formation was so powerful, so the Black Yin Ancestor found it difficult to imagine just how terrifying the core was.
"Song Yuanyi, so breaking the formation … not even you can do it?"
The Black Yin Ancestor turned his head in another direction, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
… …
At this moment, the Black Yin Ancestor had no idea that Song Yuanyi was looking in the same direction as him, lost in thought.
"Alliance Lord, many of our brothers have been injured. We might not be able to advance any further!"
A Zhengqi League expert behind Song Yuanyi called out.
Under Song Yuanyi's lead, they had already reached the second layer of the Origin Immortal Formation. Just a little more and they would reach the core, but they were already finding it very difficult to continue.
The attacks from the various formations were getting stronger and stronger, and even with Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi's leadership, they had reached their limit. If they continued, even if they could reach the core, they would probably all be dead.
Song Yuanyi said nothing, only silently gazed into the depths of spacetime. No one knew what he was thinking.
Squeaking could be heard as golden beetles flew through the air. Some of them were even gnawing on Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Stellar Energy. But these people were afraid of the golden beetles that seemed especially effective against martial artists. Although they could gnaw at Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy, their speed was extremely slow. It was like what they were gnawing on was not their favorite Stellar Energy, but sturdy metal and stone.
This was the first time these golden beetles had encountered an opponent that they found difficult to chew on. This fact alone was enough to leave countless martial artists in the world in the dust!
Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy engulfed the Zhengqi League experts behind him, drawing over almost all the golden beetles.
But even though he treated these dangerous golden beetles like they were nothing, Song Yuanyi's heart was still heavy and not optimistic. Although he could deal with the golden beetles, he could not deal with the endless attacks from the formations around him.
They had been forced into the Alarm Gate, the Pain Gate, and even the Death Gate time and time again, causing the Zhengqi League experts at Song Yuanyi's side to suffer grievous losses. The ground was stained with blood, and the Zhengqi League experts were pale and on their last breaths. It was clear that they would not be able to advance any further.
Song Yuanyi could truly abandon them and advance alone, but all the experts of the Zhengqi League here would probably be killed.
For a moment, this titan of the righteous path was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Is there really no other way …?"
Song Yuanyi held his hands behind his back and muttered to himself as he gazed at the core of the formation.
For the first time, he had encountered such an indecisive choice.
… …
"Boom!"
The earth trembled and another burst of energy erupted. Boundless energy once again rushed out from the core of the array formation in all directions.
At this moment, the entire world was dead silent. Everyone's hearts were heavy as they waited for the final judgment.
… …
"Buzz!"
While everyone was trembling in fear and silently waiting for death, a slender palm, white and slender, gripped the Origin Immortal War Banner on the altar at the core of the formation.
"It's time for everything to end!"
Wang Chong stopped in front of the altar, his other hand gripping the Origin Immortal War Banner.
Everything returned to normal after the eruption of this wave of energy tide. The Origin Immortal War Banner had also returned to its original size. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong began to pull on the Origin Immortal War Banner.
"Mm? I can't pull it out! "
Wang Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise. He pulled, but the war banner did not budge, as if it had taken root on the altar. After a few moments of thought, Wang Chong increased his strength.
Eight hundred jin, five thousand jin, ten thousand jin … Wang Chong continued to increase the strength on his wrist, but the result remained the same.
Wang Chong quickly changed his strategy. His dantian vibrated as he used the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Fire of Mara, the Fire of Lu Wu, and even the Art of God and Demon Obliteration. Finally, he heard a crack from the base of the altar, and the Origin Immortal War Banner began to sway.
Wang Chong immediately increased his strength, and the war banner began to sway even more violently. Finally, with a heaven-shaking boom, Wang Chong watched as the base of the war banner loosened, a massive crack splitting the altar in two.
Soon after, when the altar cracked open, a deafening sound of thunder came from the core of the formation and spread throughout the entire formation.
"What's going on here?"
When the countless cultivators in the formation heard the rumbling thunder, they were startled awake. As they looked at the sky, they exchanged glances with each other.
No one knew what was going on, but they could sense that with that peal of thunder, a crack had opened in the sky, allowing the energy of the outside world to seep in.
Not only that, but everyone could sense that the aura of the entire formation had suddenly become much weaker, and it was still weakening.
"What happened? Did someone break the formation!? "
Everyone glanced at each other in dismay, then turned to the core of the formation.
The formation would not weaken for no reason, and this was completely different from what they had expected.
At the same time, Song Yuanyi, Luo Qiyin, and the Myriad Ghost Ancestor Pei Luanchang all turned to the center of the formation. Unlike the others, the three strongest experts who had entered the formation were certain that someone had entered the core of the formation and was destroying it.
"So fast! Just who is so formidable that they've already entered the core of the formation?!"
At this instant, the three of them were surprised and bewildered, and all of them were visibly moved.
The three of them understood just how difficult it was to enter the core of the formation. Even someone like Song Yuanyi, whose Stellar Energy could ignore the golden beetles, was incapable of breaking through the first layer of the formation, much less anyone else.
"Could it be the Myriad Ghost Ancestor?"
Song Yuanyi narrowed his eyes, a pensive look on his face.
In the entire Five Ancestor Alliance, if there was one person who could break the formation, it was that low-key Pei Luanchang who was even stronger than the Black Yin Ancestor.
From the moment they had entered the formation until now, Song Yuanyi had not seen him.
"Could it be that fellow Song Yuanyi?"
