#161 - Chapter 161: High-spirited

You even saw a Core Formation tenth layer cultivator killed, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear. Is this the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation? It's indeed terrifying; even a Core Formation tenth layer cultivator was killed in an instant.

The Ambush from Ten Sides Formation manifests as a layer of mist. Once you enter it, everyone is shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly. The only thing visible is a path at your feet, with several squares on either side. You must step on the correct squares in a specific sequence to successfully navigate the path, escape the mist, and pass through the Ambush from Ten Sides. If you step on the wrong square, the mist emanating from the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation will immediately pounce and devour you.

The reason these Qi Kingdom cultivators are screaming miserably is because they don't know which squares to step on, and so they are being instantly devoured one by one by the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation.

"Damn it, this is actually the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation! We don't know the steps to get through this path. This Yin Tomb is so dangerous!" A Qi Kingdom cultivator shouted in terror. He looked around and realized that in just twenty minutes, about thirty percent of the six nations' cultivators had already died. If this continued, they would probably be completely annihilated.

At this moment, as the six nations' cultivators were screaming in terror within the formation, Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse triumphantly led the Fourth Prince's subordinates into the mist formation.

As you entered the mist formation, the six nations' cultivators were extremely surprised because they discovered that Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse were not affected by the mist formation. All of the Fourth Prince's subordinates seemed to know how to navigate the path beneath their feet.

"Damn it, do these lackeys of the Fourth Prince know the steps to pass through the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation?" Iron Horse Taoist of Yan Kingdom exclaimed. He wanted to call out to the other cultivators from the six nations to follow the steps of Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse.

But it was useless. As soon as they tried to copy, for example, if Taoist Cow or Taoist Horse stepped on a square with their left foot, and they also tried to step on the square with their left foot, they would immediately be killed by the mist formation. It was completely ineffective.

"You still want to learn? You're dreaming! This mist formation is constantly changing and requires timely calculations. Only we know the method to calculate the steps in real-time. You can just stay here and wait to die."

Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse laughed heartily and led their group out of the mist formation. Of course, Princess Chu, as a member of the Chu Kingdom, also led the Chu Kingdom cultivators out, leaving the remaining five nations' cultivators in utter despair.

They didn't know how to get out. Staying here would only lead to being trapped and killed by the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation.

"Damn it, I'm not convinced! Why does Heaven favor Wu Kingdom so much? It's already enough that the Fourth Prince is such a prodigy, but should he also be the one to obtain the Bronze Ancient Horse, this sacred beast? Otherwise, why would the Fourth Prince know the specific steps of the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation?" A Korean cultivator shouted in despair. He felt sorrowful and couldn't imagine the consequences of this battle. The Bronze Ancient Horse was one of the top ten divine beasts of ancient times. Once obtained, the Fourth Prince's strength would definitely increase greatly. The Fourth Prince was already invincible among his peers in the seven nations, and obtaining the Bronze Ancient Horse would only leave everyone else far behind.

Wouldn't that mean that the Fourth Prince's prestige would dominate his generation? How could the remaining six nations' cultivators not feel despair?

"Everyone, don't despair! Let's join forces and charge out! As many as can escape, escape!" Iron Horse Taoist of Yan Kingdom shouted. He took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to panic. He gathered the remaining cultivators from the six nations together and then worked together to charge out of the mist formation.

But the mist formation was not something you could just charge out of as you pleased.

In the end, the five nations' cultivators were almost completely annihilated. Only Iron Horse Taoist and a Core Formation tenth layer cultivator escaped, but they were both seriously injured.

Just as Iron Horse Taoist escaped from the Ambush from Ten Sides Formation, you, Princess Chu, Taoist Cow, and Taoist Horse reached the end of the Yin Tomb and saw a towering bronze tree with a bronze ancient egg next to it.

The moment they saw the bronze tree and the bronze ancient egg, everyone was very excited. This was the ultimate goal of this trip. The bronze egg next to the bronze tree contained the Bronze Ancient Horse, and at the very top of the towering bronze tree grew a radiant fruit, which was the Bronze Fruit. Consuming it would allow one to reverse time and return to the primordial era.

Just as everyone couldn't wait to obtain these two treasures, Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse stood out and informed everyone not to rush, as there was still a final hurdle before obtaining these two treasures.

Sure enough, after a while, the towering bronze tree suddenly shook violently, and leaves fell, becoming bronze figurines. Each of these bronze figurines actually had the strength of the eighth or ninth layer of Core Formation, and there was even one at the tenth layer of Core Formation.

"Everyone, join forces to kill these bronze figurines, and we can obtain those two treasures."

Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse called out. You and Princess Chu nodded, and then everyone joined forces, spending two hours to kill these bronze figurines.

Taoist Cow laughed heartily: "It's finally over! This trip has come to a successful end. I said long ago that the victor of the Yin-Yang Ancient Tomb would be the Fourth Prince. We have obtained the Bronze Ancient Horse and the Bronze Tree for His Highness."

Taoist Horse on the other side nodded: "That's right. With the Bronze Ancient Horse, the Fourth Prince's strength will definitely reach another level, and our help in obtaining the Azure Dragon Wooden Horse will surely be rewarded by the Fourth Prince afterwards."

As they spoke, the Fourth Prince's subordinates began to cheer along with Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse. After all, things had reached this point, and it seemed that the Fourth Prince had indeed achieved a great victory, with both the Bronze Ancient Horse and the Bronze Tree in hand.

At this moment, you and Princess Chu exchanged a glance and quietly took a step back.

"That's right, the Fourth Prince must be waiting for our news. Let's quickly report this good news," Taoist Horse reminded. Taoist Cow nodded on the other side, took out a communication jade slip, and called out to the Fourth Prince. After a while, a virtual image was projected from the jade slip, and the Fourth Prince's projection arrived.

"Your Highness, please look, we have already obtained the Bronze Ancient Horse and the Bronze Tree for you," Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse said, pointing to the bronze tree at the end of the Yin Tomb.

"Good, good, good! I will reward you handsomely," The Fourth Prince said "good" three times in a row. Even someone like him, who was accustomed to seeing treasures of heaven and earth, couldn't help but feel excited. Those were the Bronze Ancient Horse and the Bronze Tree.

Apart from the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, these two things could be considered the most precious things on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince was in high spirits. His enemy, Lin Changqing, had been eliminated, and Princess Chu, who had always been indifferent to him, seemed to have opened her heart to him.

Finally, the Bronze Ancient Horse, one of the top ten divine beasts of ancient times, had also been obtained by him. It seemed that the biggest winner of this ancient road was him. How could he not be in high spirits?

However, just as the Fourth Prince thought this, an accident suddenly occurred. You and Princess Chu made your move. Your primary targets were Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse, who were the strongest here.

In your sneak attack, in less than two minutes, Taoist Cow and Taoist Horse, who were just boasting to the Fourth Prince, were killed by your two's sneak attack. Seeing this scene, the Fourth Prince also became extremely astonished.
