Just then, Liu Chen waved his arm, and a powerful force instantly erupted. Following the surge of this power, a mysterious and enormous Formation suddenly rose from the ground! That Formation, like a giant beast baring its fangs, swiftly enveloped Tang Fangming, Tang Miao, and one other person.
At the same time, two bright, glowing 'Zheng' characters quickly appeared like lightning and were deeply branded onto the bodies of the siblings, Tang Fangming and Tang Miao. In an instant, they felt as if the spiritual power surging within them was blocked by an invisible barrier, making it impossible to mobilize freely. Not only that, but even the power of the Valley Worms they relied on lost its effect, seemingly Sealed away in some unknown corner.
At this point, the siblings Tang Fangming and Tang Miao were completely reduced to Mortals with no power to fight back, helpless in the face of their predicament.
In fact, the moment Liu Chen broke free from the dream's shackles, he keenly realized that he had already grasped half control of this Immortal Path Great Formation. What did this mean? It meant he possessed the ability to counteract the Great Formation and use it to achieve his goals. Thus, a carefully planned scheme was unveiled... "Fellow Daoist, if you have any needs or requests, please speak frankly. We will certainly assist you with all our strength, without the slightest hesitation. Why resort to such extreme measures?" Tang Fangming's face was pale, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as he spoke with a trembling voice.
"Hmph! You established a solemn oath with me, and now you dare to break faith and abandon righteousness?" Tang Miao glared, sparks of fury flashing in her beautiful eyes, as she shouted through gritted teeth.
However, Liu Chen acted as if he hadn't heard their questions and accusations. Disregarding whether Tang Fangming and Tang Miao were willing to follow, he knocked them unconscious without a word, grabbed them by their collars, and tossed them into his immortal aperture like he was carrying little chicks.
"Bai Hai Sha Tuo! Are you truly trying to fall out with our Tang Family? If you dare to take the siblings Tang Fangming away today, don't blame this old man for being merciless!" Following a furious roar, the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four appeared in mid-air like a phantom, radiating dazzling golden light.
Facing this Supreme Elder Four of the Tang Family, Liu Chen showed no fear, instead replying calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please do not misunderstand. I have no intention of offending. It is simply that this Heaven-Stealing Dreamscape has a deep affinity with me. I ask Your Excellency to grant me this convenience. Once the matter is settled, I will certainly return the siblings Tang Fangming, and I will not break my promise!"
Having said that, Liu Chen's Hand Seals continuously changed, and in the blink of an eye, a massive and complex Formation appeared before him—the Soul Sealing and Spirit Suppressing Grand Formation!
Not only that, but utilizing the methods he had previously deployed, this already astonishingly powerful Grand Formation rapidly expanded with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the entire Heaven-Stealing Dreamscape, and even the powerful Immortal Path Great Formation set up by the Tang Family could not escape, being drawn into its scope.
"That is utter nonsense! This Heaven-Stealing Dreamscape is the Tang Family's most treasured heirloom, guarded for generations! This Elder kindly offered you advice, seeing how hard your Cultivation was, yet you, an ungrateful wretch, not only fail to appreciate it but dare to speak so wildly? Since this is the case, don't blame this old man for being heartless! Today, I will surely capture you!" The Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four was so enraged he nearly smoked from his seven orifices. Without hesitation, he immediately exerted all his strength to drive the Immortal Path Great Formation, attempting to use its power to firmly trap Liu Chen and capture him alive.
However, facing the threats, intimidation, and powerful offensive launched by the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four, Liu Chen appeared calm and confident: "Senior, if you think this Immortal Path Great Formation can restrain me, I'm afraid you'll be greatly disappointed. To tell you the truth, in the Dao of Formations, the gap between you and me is like the difference between clouds and mud!" After speaking, Liu Chen skillfully began manipulating the Soul Sealing and Spirit Suppressing Grand Formation.
The Immortal Path Great Formation, which originally belonged to the Tang Family, now seemed to have lost its own will, completely obeying Liu Chen's commands and deployment. Not only that, but it even turned its spearhead around, pointing it at the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four, and fiercely bombarded him with overwhelming force. The poor Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four was caught off guard and utterly powerless to resist such a sharp and unparalleled attack, watching helplessly as he plummeted straight down from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Hall of Radiance!"
Following the furious shout of the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four, his entire body's Aura suddenly erupted like a volcanic explosion, and powerful light gushed forth.
In the blink of an eye, a massive and magnificent golden palace appeared around him. This palace radiated dazzling light, seemingly formed by countless convergences.
At the same time, the terrifying pressure from the Immortal Path Great Formation surged forward like a tide, but when it struck the magnificent golden palace, it was blocked as if by an invisible shield, unable to advance another step.
The Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four stood in the center of the palace, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a deity descending upon the world.
However, at this moment, Liu Chen showed no weakness and deployed his own Immortal Path Killer Move—"Formless Hand"!
Instantly, tens of thousands of transparent hands flew out from his immortal aperture. These hands appeared illusory, but they actually contained endless might.
Every Formless Hand swept toward the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four at an astonishing speed.
"Formless Hand? It's actually Formless Hand!" The Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four widened his eyes, his face filled with horror. He knew the terrifying power of this Killer Move; if he were caught by the Formless Hand, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But the situation was urgent. He had no chance to dodge and no time to devise other effective countermeasures. In his heart, he could only pray that the defensive Killer Move he had just deployed could withstand this wave of attack.
However, this Formless Hand was invisible and intangible, as if it did not belong to this world at all.
It easily passed through the magnificent Hall of Radiance, which shone with dazzling light, and silently slipped into the immortal aperture of the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four like a phantom.
Once inside the immortal aperture, the Formless Hand acted like a nimble snake, quickly capturing an astonishing number of Valley Worms and holding them tightly before slowly flying out of the immortal aperture. Even more surprising, among the stolen Valley Worms was an incomparably precious rank seven immortal gu!
As this rank seven immortal gu was stolen, the Hall of Radiance that stood around the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four instantly lost its support, collapsing with a crash and vanishing into thin air. At the same time, the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four violently spat out a mouthful of blood due to the severe backlash from the Killer Move.
"Give me back my immortal gu!" Despite being severely injured, the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four still roared through gritted teeth.
He used all his strength to stabilize his injuries, preparing to strike and shatter that hateful Formless Hand to reclaim his immortal gu.
Facing the struggle and anger of the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four, Liu Chen revealed a look of disdain and said coldly, "Things have reached this point, why bother with meaningless resistance? From the moment I stepped into this place, the outcome of this contest was already decided. Accept death!"
Before his voice faded, the Soul Sealing and Spirit Suppressing Grand Formation suddenly underwent a change, and an enormous golden 'Zheng' character materialized out of thin air. This 'Zheng' character, like a towering mountain peak, smashed directly toward the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four with unparalleled pressure.
In an instant, the Tang Family's Supreme Elder Four felt an overwhelming, mountain-toppling force descend upon him, making it impossible to resist.
In the blink of an eye, he was completely suppressed and unable to move, having lost all power to resist, ultimately being reduced to an ordinary Mortal with no Cultivation.
