The Reputation Was Too Poor, and His Mind Exploded

That was it.

Whether it was the Soul Clan or the Hall of Souls, their reputation on the Dou Qi Continent was simply too poor.

Moreover, none of the major powers and clans were fools.

Attacking the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation alongside the Soul Clan would bring them no benefits whatsoever. Instead, they would offend the powerful and mysterious Seven Star Palace.

It would bring a hundred harms and no benefits.

They had come to the Meteor God Ice Plain this time merely to witness the majesty of the continent's number-one power, established by a Dou Emperor expert.

There was no need to drag themselves and their clans into the mud pit.

Thus, in the end.

Hun Tiandi failed to win the support of a single Ancient Clan.

Although Gu Yuan was very tempted.

Apart from the Ancient Clan.

The Lei Clan, Yan Clan, Yao Clan, Ling Clan, and Shi Clan—the Five Great Clans—knew that their clans already had Nine-star Dou Saint experts presiding over them, and that Emperor Grade Pills had nothing to do with them. Thus, they directly refused, fundamentally unwilling to become enemies with the Seven Star Palace.

They would rather see the Seven Star Palace produce a Dou Emperor than see Hun Tiandi break through.

Under these circumstances.

The Ancient Clan naturally could not join forces with the Soul Clan.

As for the Hall of Souls, although it had successfully persuaded the Tianming Sect, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and numerous Loose Cultivator sect experts who dared not refuse the Hall of Souls... it was still far from what Hun Tiandi had expected.

However.

Things had already come to this.

With no better options available to the Soul Clan.

Unwilling to give up just like this, they ultimately chose a Desperate Struggle. Even with few people, they would still give it a try.

At the same time.

Just as the Soul Clan was making preparations.

Above the Seven Star Palace inside the Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

The Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, wearing a Silver Seven Star Mask over his face.

At this moment, he watched the figures outside who were preparing to attack with amusement in his eyes, without the slightest trace of worry on his face.

To him, even if the Soul Clan had merely summoned these people to attack the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, let alone adding all the clan powers outside together, they still could not threaten the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Simply because.

The Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Had been arranged by Ice Emperor Lin Yuan when he was at the peak of the Nine-Star Battle Emperor realm.

Moreover, when Lin Yuan had left the Dou Qi Continent some time ago, he had reinforced it. Even an Earthly Supreme expert could not break through it in a short time, let alone Hun Tiandi and this rabble.

Beside the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall.

Lin Han and Lin Yan, the siblings, were also standing there.

Looking at the grand scene outside, with crowds filling the mountains and plains, Lin Yan seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly asked the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, "Uncle Tian Quan, is Xiao Yan, the inheritor of Second Generation Tian Shu, and your inheritor of Second Generation Tian Quan outside?"

"I've always heard Father mention them, but I've never seen them in person..."

"Of course they are!"

Looking at Lin Yan's curious face.

The Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall merely waved his hand.

The next second, a scorching flame suddenly rose from his palm. Under his precise control, the flame transformed into threads and sketched the appearances of Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, the Master and Disciple Duo, in the void.

"This is what the two of them look like. They're outside the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, roughly eight hundred meters to the north."

Hearing this.

Lin Yuan immediately turned his head to look north.

Before long, the figures of Xiao Yan and his master were reflected in his pupils.

"Not bad bearing!" After carefully examining them, Lin Yan could not help commenting, "It's just that their strength is relatively weak. One is an early-stage Five-Star Dou Venerate, and the other is a Late-stage One-star Dou Saint. Compared with me, they're far behind..."

"Little Sister, not everyone has the same background as the two of us!"

Hearing this, Lin Han said instinctively, "Without the support of a Dou God Bloodline, Xiao Yan rose to prominence in Wutan City on the remote Northwest Continent. Breaking through to the Dou Venerate realm in ten years already makes him an unparalleled genius."

Facing Lin Han's reminder and warning.

Lin Yan stuck out her tongue, then said, "I know, Brother. I was just curious. Why was Father so certain that Xiao Yan could obtain the inheritance of Tou She Ancient God?"

"You should know that Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, and I have all tried to come into contact with the Ancient God Inheritance."

"Even though we cultivated the Flame Mantra as well, we still couldn't find the slightest clue..."

"I don't know about that either!" Lin Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "But since Father said so, he must have his reasons. I think time will prove the cause to us."

Just then.

Lin Yan seemed to notice something.

With a face full of surprise, she said, "Oh, Xiao Yan seems to have noticed that I was watching him in secret. He actually looked across the formation toward my position. His perception is truly interesting!"

On the other side.

Outside the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, at the Starfall Pavilion Camp.

Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly raise his head and look toward the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation, Yao Chen asked instinctively, "What's wrong?"

"Teacher."

"I don't know why..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, who had recently refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and successfully advanced to the early-stage Five-Star Dou Venerate realm, scratched his head. With his brows tightly furrowed, he said, "Just now, I felt as if someone inside the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation was watching me?"

Yao Chen had some guesses about this.

But he did not say anything more. He merely comforted Xiao Yan, telling him that he might have sensed incorrectly.

During this time.

All the Soul Clan experts and the many powers had already made every arrangement. They could attack at any moment.

Immediately afterward.

Under the instruction of the clan leader, Hun Tiandi, the Hall Master of Hall of Souls, Hun Miesheng, walked to the front of the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation and shouted, "The Soul Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans of the Dou Qi Continent, requests an audience with the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall of the Seven Star Palace."

"The Eight Ancient Clans of the Dou Qi Continent..."

"The Dou Qi Continent..."

After shouting three times without receiving any response from the Seven Star Palace.

"Attack!"

Hun Tiandi, having lost his patience, directly ordered them to attack.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of astonishingly powerful attack skills were unleashed at the same time, striking toward the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Boom! Rumble!

Under the successive bombardment of the many experts.

The Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation successfully transformed from something invisible and transparent into an ice-blue light shield.

Seeing this scene, Hun Tiandi thought their combined attacks had worked. While guarding against Gu Yuan and the others causing trouble, he increased the intensity of their attacks.

However.

It had not even lasted long.

The smile on his face gradually froze.

Because under the fierce assault of countless Soul Clan experts and numerous External Aid, the ice-blue light shield before them remained completely motionless, steady as Mount Tai. Not even a tiny crack appeared.

!!!

Seeing so many people attack at the same time.

Yet still being unable to threaten the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Hun Tiandi finally gave up hope. At this moment, he felt utterly ridiculous. He had clearly shouted that he would seize an Emperor Grade Pill and break through to the Dou Emperor realm, yet he could not even cross the most basic threshold of the Seven Star Palace!

On the other side.

Seeing the Soul Clan begin organizing its people to retreat.

The Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall inside the Seven Star Palace immediately sneered, "You want to leave after provoking us? Where in this world are there such good things?"

"Since my lord said we can kill a chicken to scare the monkeys..."

"Then this Hall Master will first collect a little interest."

After his voice fell, a Blue Token suddenly appeared in the hand of the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall.

As he infused the token with Dou Qi, the next second, a blue vortex suddenly appeared on the blue light shield of the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation, rapidly expanding.

Seeing this.

Hun Tiandi's brows immediately furrowed.

There had clearly been no sign of the grand formation breaking earlier.

Why had this blue vortex, which seemed to be an entrance, suddenly appeared now?

Just as he suspected there was a trap, an extremely dazzling red spot suddenly appeared within the vortex. As the red spot continued to grow, the vortex interwoven with red and blue was soon dyed an eerie purple...

At the same time.

An aura that made even Hun Tiandi's heart tremble.

Was rapidly approaching from the depths of the vortex!
