A flash of light revealed a desolate landscape ahead, emanating an aura of bleakness.

This is a reddish-brown land, extremely hot and scorching. The Sun Emperor in the sky bakes the earth, leaving it devoid of life.

"Where is this..." All the powerful figures who had followed Zhou Tong here were taken aback when they saw this place.

They had considered the possibility that Zhou Tong might have set up an ambush on the other side, so they all took out their weapons to defend themselves when passing through the Domain Gate; some powerful figures were even prepared to activate their protective treasures if they sensed anything amiss.

But when they actually saw it, everyone was surprised to find that there was no ambush!

"Hehe, it seems you lot are doomed today!"

"You deliberately led us to this place, thinking you had set up some kind of ambush, but there was nothing there at all!"

Countless powerful figures sneered, their eyes filled with undisguised Killing Intent.

"Two hundred and thirteen powerful figures, this lineup is truly terrifying. But haven't you all considered a one-on-one duel with me? Or do you all lack the courage?" Facing this overwhelming Killing Intent, Zhou Tong remained completely calm.

"There's nothing to say, kill him!" Suddenly, a powerful figure spoke up, and he was the first to move, flying over like a ghost.

As soon as he made that move, everyone pressed forward, no one wanted to fall behind, because Zhou Tong and Ye Fan both possessed powerful treasures— the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and the Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, without a sound, a crack appeared in the Void the Great beside Ye Fan, and a large hand reached out from the Void the Great, grabbing directly at Ye Fan.

The best target is the weakest one. Ye Fan, with his cultivation at the Four Extremities Realm and possession of great treasures, was naturally the primary target of this group of powerful figures.

"Puff!"

Zhou Tong flashed and arrived directly beside Ye Fan, shattering the giant hand. Then, he swung his sword back into the Void the Great, cleaving a powerful figure in two, with blood pouring out like a torrential rain.

Throughout this process, Zhou Tong remained calm and said, "We already have such a large formation, why bother with such underhanded tactics? Why not just face them head-on?"

"Or is it that you all know the title of successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor is a frame-up, and now you just want to seize the treasure? Are you afraid of not distributing it evenly, so you resort to such despicable means?"

None of the Holy Lord said much; they simply and rapidly approached Zhou Tong. What they were thinking was obvious—it was all for those supreme treasures.

In order to obtain the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, in order to obtain the Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron, and in order to obtain that possible divine medicine.

These Saint Lord Great Power had long since abandoned all pretense of dignity, especially some of the older cultivators who were in dire need of divine medicine to prolong their lives.

Zhou Tong's words might tempt the younger generation to jump out and challenge him to a one-on-one duel, but they would be completely useless against these old fogies.

The crowd quickly closed in, surrounding Zhou Tong and his group. Killing Intent, swords gleamed, and magical treasures hovered in the Void the Great, aimed at Zhou Tong.

"No need to waste time talking to him. Let's attack together. The successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor should not live in this world." Immediately, a powerful figure reached out a hand and grabbed at Zhou Tong and the others.

"Brush!"

Zhou Tong made his move, unleashing his Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, which collided with the giant hand.

"Puff!"

The powerful figure coughed up blood, and the outstretched hand instantly shattered into a bloody pulp, completely unrecognizable. The terrifying sword energy continued to spread throughout his body. Wherever the sword energy passed, bloody holes appeared all over the powerful figure's body.

Finally, the powerful figure seemed to burst into flames, which finally suppressed the sword energy.

Everyone's expression changed. Another powerful figure had almost been killed by Zhou Tong with a single sword strike. They were all shocked by the terrifying strength of this man.

Eight Restrictions, absolutely Eight Restrictions!

All the powerful figures finally determined Zhou Tong's combat strength, but what followed was a strong Killing Intent.

"Zhou Tong, do you really have some killer move?" Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both anxious. There were powerful figures all here, and even the slightest fluctuation could wipe them out.

"Don't worry, stay by my side, I'll make sure you're safe!" Zhou Tong calmly transmitted his voice.

"Attack together!" These powerful figures no longer cared about anything else and attacked together.

Although he was at the Great Perfection of Immortal Platform Layer One, his combat strength had already reached the Eighth Level of the Second Layer of Immortal Platform. Anyone who made a move even a little too early could be killed by him.

"Boom!"

A divine bell flew out, emitting a trembling sound, like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum, stirring people's souls.

"Boom!"

A powerful figure lifted a bronze tower and pressed it down like a mountain, its immense force causing the earth to Rending.

At the same time, a powerful being unleashed a flying sword that arrived like a rainbow, slashing towards Zhou Tong's neck; and a Holy Lord unleashed a cyan divine blade, a sky-blue blade light sweeping across like a blue sea...

"Although I really want to fight you, there's no way around it. These two people beside me can't handle it."

"Fine, let's call it a day!"

Zhou Tong's voice had just fallen—

"Om!"

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying pressure descended from the sky. Phoenix Cry echoed continuously in the sky, and at the same time, a fiery cloud slowly descended from the sky, as if a blazing heaven had sunk down, intending to suppress everyone. Every powerful figure felt suffocated.

"The weapon of Ancient Saint!"

Suddenly, many people turned pale. Even those at the Holy Lord level were shocked. They never expected that Zhou Tong could actually wield a Saint's weapon, which could definitely sweep away an entire area.

Its power is almost beyond human resistance. In an era when saints were rare, wielding such a weapon would make one virtually invincible.

"Damn it, this is a complete Heirloom Sacred Weapon, far superior to the incomplete Saint Weapon I have!"

"Even if it's a weapon from Ancient Saint, he can't fully control it with his cultivation level. We still have a chance, run!" Immediately, several Holy Lord disregarded everything and fled far away.

However--

"Om!"

Countless rays of light intertwined here, and the Dao Pattern on the ground glowed. These were mysterious Dao Pattern, transforming this place into a forbidden zone, where there was no way to leave once you entered.

"Array Patterns!? Oh no, this is a trap!" Immediately, a powerful figure emerged, only to find himself unable to leave.

"Damn it, this thief was prepared all along! This is a trap! Why didn't we notice it at first?"

"You little beast, you dare to oppose all our holy lands! You will die a horrible death!"

Countless powerful beings cursed, while some tried to break the formation, quietly studying the Array Patterns on the ground. In particular, some powerful beings who were proficient in Array Patterns did their best to deduce the formation.

But it was all in vain.

Before the Peach Gathering began, Zhou Tong had sensed something was amiss through the Nine Secrets: Qian, so he made some arrangements here well in advance.

How could these powerful beings possibly decipher the Array Patterns he meticulously arranged using the Nine Secrets: Zu in such a short time?

"Even if you join forces, it will take you at least half a day to break through my formation. Do you really think you have that much time?" Zhou Tong sneered, then waved his hand lightly at them—

"Buzz!"

The Void the Great trembled slightly, and a crimson glow flickered within the fiery clouds in the sky, incredibly bright. Then, a Divine Phoenix soared into the sky, its cry echoing throughout the heavens.

The Crimson Blood Divine Phoenix streaked across the sky, instantly igniting the surrounding earth like kindling before turning it to ashes.

"Boom!"

Like a raging flood, a crimson glow pierced the sky, its immense power spreading outwards. From afar, it resembled a giant crimson furnace, instantly engulfing the area.

Holy Might!

The irresistible divine might!

"Impossible... Heirloom Sacred Weapon, a complete and flawless Heirloom Sacred Weapon, and you've resurrected it to this extent!"

"How is this possible? How could you possibly have the power to revive Saint Weapon to this extent!"

"The Saint Weapon has been fully resurrected... How is that possible?"

One of the powerful beings felt this overwhelming holy might and was utterly despairing, for this power was beyond human resistance.

"Nothing is impossible... You can only blame yourselves for being too greedy!"

As Zhou Tong spoke, the crimson clouds in the sky began to fall, instantly enveloping all the powerful beings. For a moment, everyone was completely frozen by this terrifying holy might.
