Chapter 685 The Immortal Ancient Emperor-Slaying Formation: A Land of Absolute Annihilation Through
Deep within the eerie and desolate primeval forest, decaying leaves piled up, miasma filled the air, and even light could hardly penetrate.
Only the occasional hissing of unknown insects added to the eeriness.
Three disheveled and exhausted figures were struggling to recover their breath, clinging to the roots of an enormous, withered demonic tree.
She was the woman from the Shadow Emperor Clan who narrowly escaped from that desperate battle with Ye Tian.
The Bone-Eating Emperor Clan's prodigy and the Blood Fiend Emperor Clan's prodigy who lost an arm.
Their injuries were extremely severe, even their dark origins were shaken, and the trauma and fear in their minds were particularly difficult to heal in a short time.
Ye Tian's invincible figure, like an ancient god or demon, was etched deep into their souls, and every time they thought of him, they felt a chill run through their bodies.
"If we have the help of an immortal genius who can overcome natural disasters, we will definitely be able to defeat Ye Tian!"
Otherwise, our resolve will be shattered, and we will never make any progress!
The woman in the shadows spoke in a hoarse voice, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Just then, a chilling, deathly still aura swept over them.
Accompanying it was another, even more ancient and increasingly violent dark power.
It spread like a tide from another direction in the dense forest.
Three figures slowly emerged from the dense shadows.
The leader was none other than the Yama Prince, who wore a dark dragon robe and had a sinister face.
Beside him was Su Chen, whose aura was mysterious and unpredictable.
But the most eye-catching thing was the entity located slightly ahead of them...
Its entire body is dark gold, with flowing demonic patterns, and ancient holy spirits whose eye sockets pulsate with vortexes that devour light—the Holy Nightmare Demon King!
He simply stood there, and the surrounding void began to collapse, causing the vegetation to wither and turn to ashes in an instant.
It was as if he himself were the embodiment of death, the end of all spirits.
The three fugitive Dark Prodigies were startled by the aura they sensed, but then recognized the Yama Prince.
They also felt the unfathomable and terrifying pressure of the Holy Nightmare Demon King, which made even their supreme divine souls tremble!
"Natural Calamity, Immortal Pride!"
The thought flashed through the minds of all three simultaneously, and their eyes instantly lit up with hope!
"Prince Yama! Holy Lord!"
Despite her injuries, the woman in shadow stood up first and bowed respectfully. The Bone-Eating Prodigy and the Blood Fiend Prodigy quickly followed suit, adopting extremely humble postures.
"Oh? It's you little rascals."
Prince Yama's gaze swept over the three men, noticing their miserable state, especially the Blood Demon Prodigy with the missing arm.
A knowing look and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"It seems you also suffered a great loss at Ye Tian's hands."
"It's more than just a huge loss!"
The arrogant and ruthless man gritted his teeth, his voice filled with resentment and malice.
"The five of us set up the Myriad Spirits Burial Emperor Formation, intending to kill him. Who knew that Ye Tian's strength was terrifyingly unparalleled, his physical body invincible, and his supernatural powers unmatched. He actually... actually killed two of us and even forcibly broke the formation!"
"If it weren't for Junior Sister Shadow tearing through space at the cost of her own life, we would all have perished!"
He briefly described the battle.
It describes Ye Tian's incredible combat power and the shocking scene of the great formation being broken.
Upon hearing this, both Prince Yama and Su Chen's expressions became more serious.
Although they knew Ye Tian was powerful, they did not expect that he could still unleash such terrifying strength under the suppression of the great formation that specifically counters Emperor Realm experts.
The Nightmare Demon King's devouring eyes flickered slightly.
A hoarse voice rang out, tinged with interest.
"To be able to kill two people in the Ten Thousand Spirits Burial Emperor Formation and forcibly break the formation..."
This child's chaotic body and fragments of the Primordial Heavenly Dao are indeed extraordinary.
His value is even greater than I anticipated.
He looked at the three men, his gaze falling on the tokens in their hands that flashed with the scarlet word "kill".
"The Northern Sea Extermination Order... You've come seeking cooperation?"
"Exactly!"
The woman in the shadows quickly replied, her tone earnest.
"Ye Tian has already become a force to be reckoned with. It is difficult for us, or even ordinary imperial clan prodigies, to do anything to him."
Only by uniting all the immortal calamities can we hope to annihilate it!
We are willing to serve under the Holy One and the Prince of Yama as leaders, to jointly slay this fiend and seize his destiny!
She stated her purpose and attitude directly, adopting an extremely humble stance.
Faced with absolute power and the desire for revenge, so-called pride is utterly insignificant.
Just then, another cold, deathly aura, yet carrying a sharp killing intent, appeared, like an invisible bone spur.
Suddenly inserting itself into the arena!
"Hehe, how could such a grand event be complete without me?"
Accompanied by a chilling laugh, a skeleton, its entire body as white as jade but exuding a sinister aura, silently appeared on the trunk of an ancient tree not far away.
The pale flames of his soul flickered in his eye sockets, locking onto the crowd below.
It is none other than the ancient freak of the White Bone Emperor Clan... the Evil Bone Demon King!
He actually found this place too!
"Evil Bone? You're awake too."
The Nightmare Demon King seemed to recognize him, speaking in a calm tone.
“Saint Nightmare, if you can crawl out of a rock, then I, the king, cannot lag behind.”
The Evil Bone Demon King spoke with a hint of arrogance. He looked at the three fleeing prodigies, then glanced at the Yama Prince and Su Chen.
"Ye Tian... that kid who climbed to the top of the Heavenly Ladder and possesses the Chaos Body? I am also very interested in him."
His imperial bones might be able to be forged into a decent bone sword.
His arrival further strengthened the atmosphere in the arena.
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Crown Prince Yama, and he spoke.
"Brother Evil Bone, you've come at just the right time! Ye Tian's potential is terrifying, and his growth rate is astonishing."
If he is allowed to continue to gain opportunities within this Gate of Myriad Paths, I'm afraid that no one will be able to control him in the future.
It will surely become a major threat to us, and may even bring disaster to all ethnic groups!
We must nip it in the bud before it becomes truly invincible at the Emperor Realm!
Su Chen added in a cold tone.
"The rules within the Gate of Ten Thousand Paths are unique, making it the perfect place to kill him."
"If we wait until he gets out, with the protection of the War God Academy and the Eternal Ye Family, it will be difficult to make a move against him again."
The Holy Nightmare Demon King slowly nodded, his devouring eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"Indeed, this child must not be allowed to live."
Since we share the same goal, let's join forces.
The Evil Bone Demon King leaped down from the tree branch, his bone claws scraping together, making a teeth-grinding sound.
"I have no objection. How shall we kill him?"
The seven figures, representing different dark imperial clans and ancient natural disasters, are temporarily on the same side due to their shared fear and killing intent towards Ye Tian.
With a flick of his bone palm, the Holy Nightmare Demon King revealed an ancient array diagram that appeared to be tattered and made of some kind of animal hide.
The array diagram did not depict specific runes, but rather some distorted, chaotic, abstract lines that seemed to represent the ultimate destruction of the universe.
Just one glance is enough to pierce one's soul, as if plunging one into eternal silence.
"This is a fragment of the 'Ancient Immortal Emperor-Slaying Formation'."
The voice of the Holy Nightmare Demon King carried a hint of reminiscence and a chilling tone.
"Legend has it that it was created by an unparalleled being during the Immortal Ancient Era in order to kill true peerless geniuses."
Although it was later proven unsuccessful and the formation diagram was mostly incomplete, its destructive power remained terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Burial Emperor Formation'.
He looked around at everyone.
"If we can find a suitable place to set up this formation, and then combine the power of the seven of us to activate it, we can unleash the ancient killing intent hidden within the formation..."
Even if Ye Tian possessed extraordinary abilities, and his Chaos Body was impervious to all laws, he would have no chance of escape and would undoubtedly die!
The Immortal Ancient Emperor-Slaying Formation!
The name alone sent a jolt through everyone present!
It involves the ancient immortals and the killing of emperors. Even if it is just a fragment, it is enough to make people think and feel its boundless killing aura!
"Very well! We shall do as His Holiness says!"
Prince Enma was the first to speak, his eyes flashing with excitement and cruelty.
"I happen to have a few good array base materials."
The Evil Bone Demon King nodded in agreement.
The three fleeing prodigies were even more excited, as if they could already see Ye Tian turning into ashes in that ancient immortal killing formation.
The seven hit it off immediately and quickly discussed finding a suitable location for the formation and the necessary materials.
A chilling aura filled the air; the web of conspiracy began to tighten.
A moment later, seven figures exuding a strong aura of darkness and ominousness transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, heading off to set up the deadly trap.
However, shortly after they left, beside the withered demon tree, there was a seemingly empty void.
It rippled gently like water.
A figure slowly emerged.
He was dressed in crimson armor, his hair was like burning flames, and his eyes were arrogant and deep.
He exuded an aura that was both oppressive and terrifying, like that of a volcano.
It is none other than the ancient freak of the Tianyun Imperial Clan... the Fiery Cloud Evil King!
He had been hiding nearby the whole time, listening to the entire conversation and plan of the seven people!
Fire Cloud Evil King gazed in the direction where the seven had disappeared, a meaningful smile curving his lips, tinged with mockery and indifference.
"The Immortal Ancient Emperor-Slaying Formation? Seven idiots..."
Did they think they could easily defeat that monster with just a dilapidated formation?
He muttered to himself, recalling Ye Tian tearing the Supreme White Tiger apart with a single punch, and the scene of breaking the formation described by the three escaped prodigies.
"Ye Tian's strength is unfathomable, and he has an endless stream of trump cards."
Even if these seven people joined forces to set up a killing formation, they might not be guaranteed victory; they might even... lose themselves in the process.
A calculating glint flashed in the eyes of the Fire Cloud Evil King.
"If that's the case, why should I personally go and take that risk?"
He smiled coldly.
"Let them fight until they are both severely injured."
I, the king, need only hide in the shadows and quietly observe the battle.
If Ye Tian is seriously injured, it will be a golden opportunity for me to seize his destiny!
If those seven are defeated and killed, it will save me the trouble of dealing with them later.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight; when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits!
Having made up his mind, the Fiery Cloud Evil King slowly merged into the void once more, his aura completely disappearing as if he had never existed.
He was like a dark serpent king lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike and make a name for himself!
A storm is brewing, and danger lurks everywhere.
