"Damn it, there's an unparalleled killing formation!" roared the Supreme Elder of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
"Someone has set up a trap to lure us here!" someone else realized and exclaimed in fury.
However, what awaited them was an even more dazzling radiance, as an endless array of patterns lit up once more, engulfing the area.
boom!
A gigantic treasure bottle appeared and manifested in the void. The bottle's design was simple, like a vessel of the Great Dao, seemingly capable of suppressing all the heavens and myriad realms, mysterious and unfathomable.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on!?"
The treasure bottle shimmered with divine light, and array patterns spread out. Then, various symbols rushed out, transforming into arrows of light, condensing into spears, combining into divine swords, and even small axes, all rampaging and causing terrifying chaos.
Behind them, screams of agony rose and fell, echoing from all the experts—young prodigies and veteran powerhouses alike—who were utterly powerless here, mercilessly slaughtered.
The treasure bottle hung high, its boundless patterns spreading out, carrying a hazy, chaotic aura. Instantly, a group of people exploded, turning into a blood mist.
The many living fossils were shocked and hurriedly used various means to do their best to protect the young supreme of their own forces.
Suddenly, screams rang out as some array patterns swept over a group of people, causing their blood to overflow and flow into the "treasure bottle" in the sky.
Some of the most talented individuals, in particular, struggled after being swept by the array patterns, but to no avail. Their bodies withered and their muscles dried up, almost being drained dry. If it weren't for the efforts of living fossil-level figures to protect them, they would probably have perished.
"Who ambushed us?" the Supreme Elder of the Ji family roared. A streak of runes swept across his shoulder, drawing blood. His body shimmered with golden light, a testament to his true fury.
"What a brilliant scheme! Do you all want to make enemies of the World?!" someone shouted angrily.
Nangong Zheng was moving through the crowd, resisting as well. As a king who had severed the Dao, resisting these killing formations was relatively easy for him.
Of course, he also disguised it quite well, making others see that he was struggling to hold on!
"The style of the Ruthless Ones is truly ruthless!" Nangong Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The scene was a complete mess. More than 90% of the living beings were dead, pulverized by the great formation, turned into clouds of blood mist, and disappeared into the "treasure bottle" in the sky. Even some living fossils were dead.
This is a ruthless lineage, collecting the essence and blood of all living beings!
Only a few living fossils survived, along with the geniuses of various races. However, those who survived, such as the God King Body, the Heavenly Demon Body, and the Dao Embryo, all had faces as pale as paper and trembling bodies, clearly suffering severe injuries.
"That's truly superb acting!"
Nangong Zheng glanced in the direction of Yaoguang Holy Land. The peerless Yaoguang Holy Son almost died. He was really going all out to put on an act and distance himself from the situation. No one could have imagined that everything he did today would benefit him in the future!
"An imperial array! This is definitely an imperial array pattern!"
"A fragment of a Great Emperor's array pattern!"
"That enormous treasure bottle in the sky resembles the Devouring Demon Jar; it's an array pattern from the Ruthless Great Emperor!"
The crowd was both shocked and furious. No wonder it was so terrifying; it turned out to be a fragment of the Ruthless Great Emperor's Imperial Formation, which had nearly annihilated them all.
"Fellow Daoist Tu Tian, quickly offer the Demon Jar, let's fight our way out together!" a living fossil shouted, his expression fervent.
Tu Tian's face suddenly darkened, and he realized that the person who had called him was one of the people who had tried to kill him and seize his magic jar. Now, to save his life, he had said such shameless things!
"Hehehe, you can't leave now!" Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out.
Then, a masked man in gray appeared. He possessed immense strength and vigorous vitality, looking down on everyone.
"A being with one foot in the Dao-Slaying realm!" Nangong Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the Ruthless lineage would have such a figure in the World today.
Immediately, several more gray-clad figures appeared silently, standing behind that person. They were all quite powerful and watched the crowd coldly.
"It seems that person is the leader of the Ruthless Clan!" Nangong Zheng thought to himself.
"Is it you who orchestrated this calamity?!" a living fossil from the holy land sneered.
"Not bad, so what!" The gray-clad men from the Ruthless Clan sneered, pressing closer step by step.
All the members of the various factions frowned. Although they had survived, they had all suffered heavy injuries, and their combat strength had been greatly reduced. They were powerless against these people, and they did not know what other tricks the other side had up its sleeve.
"Let's fight our way out together!" At this moment, the Azure Dragon King approached Tu Tian, and the two planned to activate the Devouring Demon Jar together to fight their way out!
The ancient Devouring Demon Jar trembled slightly, emitting a chilling aura that almost completely blocked the array patterns filling the sky.
The Devouring Demon Jar is like an eternal protective wall, floating in a pure land.
"For a divine object to fall into your hands is truly a waste of talent!" The gray-clad leader sneered, clearly displeased.
"Now, the divine object should be returned!"
Immediately, he and many gray-clad men sat cross-legged outside the great formation, their markings intertwined, radiating an overwhelming aura. Then, a monstrous divine light shot out and swept towards the Devouring Demon Jar!
when!
The Devouring Demon Jar trembled violently and was almost knocked away. Tu Tian was horrified to discover that he had seemingly lost control of the Demon Jar and could no longer activate it. The other party had interfered with him and severed his connection with the Devouring Demon Jar.
"How could this be!"
Tu Tian's face was pale. He was shocked. He had used the Devouring Demon Jar for hundreds of years, but now it was unusable.
"Good!"
The group of gray-clad men was overjoyed, sensing that Tu Tian could no longer activate the magic jar, and this was the best opportunity to seize it.
"Let's go!"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura spread out, and an astonishing wave, like the great destruction of the universe, surged and undulated in the vast expanse, as if the eternal blue sky was about to vanish!
"Azure Emperor Weapon!" someone exclaimed, recognizing this supreme imperial weapon.
The Azure Dragon King unleashed the Azure Emperor's ultimate weapon.
The Azure Emperor's Azure Lotus, with its nine leaves supporting the heavens and earth, is surrounded by wisps of chaotic mist, which exude the energy of creation.
The group of gray-clad men was also taken aback, not expecting this person to have been hiding so well, only now bringing out the Azure Emperor Weapon.
Tu Tian no longer hesitated. Although he was heartbroken to lose the Devouring Demon Jar, the most important thing right now was to save his life. If he didn't leave now, he would probably die here.
At that moment, he and the Azure Dragon King activated the Chaos Azure Lotus together, forcibly opening a passage that even the gray-robed men could not stop. Then the living fossils of the various holy lands also fled in panic, along with their respective geniuses!
At that moment, Nangong Zheng's figure disappeared, approaching the Devouring Demon Jar, unnoticed by anyone!
"The Devouring Demon Jar has finally returned to our lineage!" the gray-clad leader said with a smile.
A handsome young man in blue appeared in the arena. Looking at the blood-soaked, chaotic scene, he frowned almost imperceptibly.
"This time, having obtained so much source material, your demonic skills can advance by leaps and bounds. Don't let us down!" a gray-clad man said calmly.
At this moment, the gray-clad leader walked forward step by step, intending to take the Devouring Demon Jar.
However, at that moment, a figure in green robes appeared, none other than Nangong Zheng, who stood in front of him.
With a wave of his hand, the Devouring Demon Jar shrank and fell into Nangong Zheng's palm.
"King Nangong Zheng of the Eastern Wilderness!"
All the men in gray were shocked, never expecting that Nangong Zheng had been lying in wait here and would suddenly appear at this moment.
"Gentlemen, I mean no harm!" Nangong Zheng smiled slightly, playing with the small pottery jar in his hand.
Immediately, a towering tree rose from the ground, reaching into the endless sky. Its canopy blocked out the sun, and every leaf flowed with divine light, sealing off this place.
"Nangong Zheng, what do you intend to do?" The gray-clad leader was initially shocked, but then calmly asked.
"Gentlemen, you don't want the World to know that you belong to the ruthless lineage, do you?"
Nangong Zheng glanced at everyone and said calmly.
