Let alone whether he could hold out for a quarter of an hour, He Li regretted it after only half a cup of tea.

In the eastern sky, a giant wheel, radiating intense spiritual light, rumbled and crushed towards them.

Wherever it passed, trees crumbled and rocks collapsed. Even the surrounding mountains, tents, and houses trembled with terrifying sounds, its power was truly astonishing.

On the giant ship, a burly figure stood proudly, wielding a large halberd, exuding a powerful spiritual aura.

"Qiao Zhaoxian!"

"It's Qiao Zhaoxian from the Tiandao Sect!"

The moment the Soul Devouring Sect Devil Cultivator saw that imposing figure, they all gasped in shock, their expressions filled with fear, and a commotion broke out.

"Tiandao Sect... Candidate Dao Son..."

He Li's expression was extremely solemn, and he almost had the urge to turn around and run away immediately.

Since Qiao Zhaoxian has already appeared, the other side definitely couldn't have destroyed all three magic arrays at the same time by one person. So who was the one who destroyed the other two magic arrays?

They are definitely top-tier opponents of the same level, or a large number of enemies.

Are they Gao Lingxiao and Bi Fayuan, the two Candidate Sword Son from the Shu Sword Pavilion?

Or is it Zong Shenghai of the Five Elements Escape Sect?

Or perhaps it was Chen Baimao from the Longevity Sect?

He Li's calves were pounding.

He considered himself to be quite strong among those with pseudo-core cultivation, and he possessed many high-quality, powerful Yin spirits within his Soul Guiding Banner, yet he dared not compare himself to these great prodigies from major Heavenly Pride.

There is still a gap between geniuses and Heavenly Pride.

But at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, shouting loudly.

"Quickly deploy the Ten Thousand Ghosts and Wraiths Formation!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!--"

Upon receiving the order, hundreds of the Soul Devouring Sect disciples immediately began to arrange their troops and form formations.

Their formation was perfectly synchronized, like an organic living organism.

Hundreds of Soul Guiding Banner fluttered loudly, and the battle cries shook the heavens, adding to the imposing atmosphere.

In an instant, countless vengeful spirits, like dark clouds or a vast army, flew out from the Soul Guiding Banner of hundreds of the Soul Devouring Sect disciples and rushed down to the earth from the sky, their momentum terrifying!

This instantaneous performance perfectly distinguished the Soul Devouring Sect disciples from cultivators of other Cultivation Family and minor sects.

Hundreds of the Soul Devouring Sect disciples summoned ten thousand ghosts to form an array in a short period of time.

The sky and earth changed color, and a ghostly aura filled the air.

Countless spirits, following the formation, surged towards the location of the magic array and slowly advanced.

Even though they were all ordinary Qi cultivators or even Xiantian spirits of mortals, the scene was still terrifying.

"Kill! We cultivators of the Soul Devouring Sect are an army in themselves; a hundred of us are worth a million soldiers. What do we have to fear in battle?!"

He Li roared, shook the Soul Banner, summoned three Foundation Establishment Late Stage Yin Souls to beat the drum, raised his spear and roared, taking the lead. The war drums beat loudly, boosting morale.

In that instant, the Soul Devouring Sect disciples, who had been fearful and terrified, suddenly found their morale soaring.

With countless ghosts unleashed, the deafening roar and battle cries filled the entire Battlefield, creating a brutal atmosphere where no one dared to be afraid.

"Rumble rumble--"

Qiao Zhaoxian maintained his usual bold and sweeping fighting style. The Primordial Qi Bracelet spun and rolled down like a giant wheel at high speed, like a huge siege chariot, resounding from east to west.

In just a few breaths, they were already close to the outer edge of the fourth magic array's Formation.

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation?! A mere trick! Break it!"

Qiao Zhaoxian's eyes shone with fierce power, and he pushed his Core Power to its limit.

The Primordial Qi Bracelet, like a raging storm that had broken free of its reins, hurtled towards the barrier with overwhelming force.

Boom! --

It was as if a tremendous explosion had occurred in the sky, and a stone mountain suddenly fell from the sky and crashed onto the iron plate.

The entire massive barrier shook violently, sending out ripples that spread out like pulse waves.

The spot where the Primordial Qi Bracelet struck emitted a blinding light, and a large area was deeply dented inward, revealing fine cracks.

But in that instant, all the ghosts howled in unison.

Countless vengeful spirits rushed violently towards the crack, causing the fine cracks to shimmer like phosphorescent ribbons, and quickly repair themselves.

"Pound--"

The Primordial Qi Bracelet was immediately repelled by the repaired Formation.

Qiao Zhaoxian groaned, his face flushed, and he looked at the Formation barrier that had returned to normal, and then at the Soul Devouring Sect disciples who were now cheering and jumping for joy inside the Formation. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated these Qi Refining Devil Cultivator.

Inside the Formation barrier, He Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Looking at Qiao Zhaoxian floating high in the sky outside the Formation, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"It seems his strength is not yet close to that of Golden Core Early Stage cultivator; he is ultimately overrated."

"Sacrificing the souls of the dead to quickly repair the Formation? This is forcing me to get serious!"

Qiao Zhaoxian's eyes hardened with coldness. He suddenly took a deep breath, his thick back arched, his hair flew wildly without wind, and his clothes billowed.

The power of the pseudo-elixir in the forehead, chest, and abdomen rapidly condensed, instantly forming a golden line.

He Li's expression suddenly changed drastically within the Formation. He immediately shouted to bolster morale.

"Get ready quickly! Hold on! Reinforcements are on their way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce and astonishing flash of light erupted from outside the Formation a deep crack in it. Then, a thunderous roar shook the earth.

Countless ghosts instantly transformed into black clouds and rushed forward again, disregarding casualties, using a swarm of ghosts tactic to quickly repair the Formation.

Tens of kilometers away.

A streak of light, shimmering with a deep blue hue, swept through the air, covering more than ten miles in an instant.

Amidst the flashing blades, Chen Dengming was astonished to use his Divine Sense to detect a tremendous roar and flash of light in the distance.

I was somewhat surprised.

"Old Qiao is fighting a Golden Core cultivator? How did he cause such a commotion?"

On the other side, a flying sword flashed incessantly, tearing through the air at unparalleled speed. A figure within the flying sword was almost level with the blade, its speed astonishing.

"Strange? What kind of enemy could make him so serious?"

Gao Lingxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, also surprised by the commotion coming from afar, and became highly vigilant.

A short while later.

The lights of swords and blades approached the fourth magic array Battlefield, one after the other.

Chen Dengming looked at Qiao Zhaoxian, who was blocked outside the Formation barrier, with surprise, and laughed.

"Fellow Daoist Qiao, what's going on? This Formation is difficult to break?"

"The Great Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts and Yin Souls?"

With a flash of sword light, Gao Lingxiao, dressed in a lake-green robe, also appeared, looking surprised.

Qiao Zhaoxian had already stopped when Chen Dengming and his companion arrived.

He feigned composure, but his clearly displeased expression and slightly disheveled hair betrayed his earlier embarrassment.

He said coldly, "These Soul Devouring Sect cultivators are indeed remarkable, using the power of the Myriad Ghosts Yin Soul Array to supplement this Chaotic Four Directions Array."

This is to use the power of a living formation to compensate for a dead formation, and to bring a dead formation back to life.

The Chaotic Four Directions Formation is Formation that must be broken through in one fell swoop.

If we cannot break through immediately, we will immediately redirect our offensive power to counterattack the enemy, which is extremely troublesome!

"So difficult to break through?"

Chen Dengming looked ahead in surprise at the bowl-shaped barrier that seemed no different from the Formation he had previously broken through.

Qiao Zhaoxian felt he was losing face, but he still smiled and looked at Chen Dengming, flattering him, "Although I cannot break through, Fellow Daoist Chen, if you go all out, you will surely be able to break through."

"I'll try it first."

Gao Lingxiao stepped forward first, her beautiful eyes fixed on the magic array with a sharp gaze, eager to try.

The disciples of the Shu Sword Pavilion have always been competing with the disciples of the Tiandao Sect. As Sword Son of the Shu Sword Pavilion, Gao Lingxiao has naturally been secretly Qiao Zhaoxian.

The two were polite and amicable on the surface, but in reality, they were both trying to outdo each other.

As for Chen Dengming of the Longevity Sect, apart from Qiao Zhaoxian, who personally witnessed his strength and admired him greatly, Gao Lingxiao actually had some doubts about his abilities.

Despite his doubts, Gao Lingxiao was unwilling to give Chen Dengming a chance to try first. Instead, he planned to personally break through the formation and prove that Qiao Zhaoxian.

Qiao Zhaoxian saw through Gao Lingxiao's thoughts at a glance, but smiled and did not stop him.

He had absolute confidence in his abilities, believing that if he couldn't break it, Chen Dengming might not be able to either.

Gao Lingxiao... it's even more impossible for him to do that.

Chen Dengming, naturally, had even less reason to lament.

It doesn't matter who breaks the formation, it's all the same. It's best if others contribute, as long as it's done quickly.

Inside the Formation.

He Li saw two more enemies flying towards him. Although he couldn't see their details clearly, their imposing presence alone made him feel uneasy.

"Damn it! Half an hour has already passed. There's still half an hour left, we can't hold on any longer!"

He had already given up.

But by then a powerful enemy had arrived, making escape extremely difficult for him.

If they show weakness again, it will affect the already exhausted Soul Devouring Sect disciples, making the situation even worse.

Immediately, he took the lead, shouting to regroup his troops, waving the Soul Guiding Banner, and finally summoned his entire army of ghosts to fight, even promising rewards for overcoming this crisis.

Seeing that even the False Core Great Cultivator in the sect were fighting so hard and were being rewarded, the many Soul Devouring Sect disciples realized that the reinforcements were real.

If you can live, who wants to die!

Instantly, all the disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect seemed to be injected with chicken blood, their spirits lifted.

Outside the Formation, Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows, let out a soft exclamation, and his sharp gaze pierced through the layers of Yin Soul formation, locking onto the figure of a False Core Cultivator who was waving Soul Guiding Banner.

"It's him."

A sharp killing intent suddenly flashed in Chen Dengming's eyes.

Almost simultaneously, a clanging sound, like the friction of divine iron from outer space, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The sound of that sword strike sent shivers down one's spine.

The intense Sword Intent instantly drew Chen Dengming's attention to Gao Lingxiao.

Sword Intent!

This was the first time since he came to the Cultivation World that he had seen a cultivator display such an incredibly pure and refined killing intent as Sword Intent.

The next instant!

A blinding flash of light, like the aurora borealis, shot out from the sky, radiating a sharp brilliance in the darkness.

Like the aurora borealis splitting the sky, a dazzling and astonishing flash of light pierced through the darkness and stabbed fiercely into the bowl-shaped Formation barrier on the opposite side.

Among cultivators, Sword Cultivator undoubtedly possess the strongest offensive capabilities.

There's a saying that's been circulating in the Eastern Region: "Among the thousands of sects in the Eastern Immortal Realm, ask around and see who's the most ferocious." And that most ferocious sect is the Sword Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion.

With a loud 'crack', the bowl-shaped barrier was instantly torn open by the chilling sword Sword Qi, creating a crack as easily as striking a match.

The astonishingly scattered Sword Qi twisted and turned, flashing and darting about like bizarrely shaped pythons, as they burrowed into the barrier.

"Now's the time!"

Qiao Zhaoxian suddenly shouted, intending to help Gao Lingxiao expand his gains and completely break through the Formation.

But at that moment, a roar came from the swarm of Yin spirits within the Formation barrier. He Li his move, sacrificing thousands of Qi Refining Yin spirits and throwing them into the crack, instantly repairing it.

The Formation, shaped like a large bowl, flashed with light and suddenly unleashed a powerful counterforce, sending Gao Lingxiao's flying sword flying.

"Buzz!--"

The flying sword wailed.

Gao Lingxiao grunted, took the flying sword, his expression changed drastically, and he stared intently at He Li, who was quickly disappearing into the Yin Soul Formation within the Formation. His expression was grim.

"With this False Core Great Cultivator expert in charge, it's extremely difficult, almost impossible, to break the formation alone."

This Formation, guarded by a fake Golden Core cultivator, possesses defensive power capable of withstanding attacks from genuine Golden Core Great Cultivator.

Just as Qiao Zhaoxian about to speak, Chen Dengming's figure had already flown out.

"Let me give it a try!"

A single, understated word escaped Chen Dengming's lips, his gaze fixed coldly on He Li within the Yin Soul Array. His calm and composed demeanor naturally exuded an awe-inspiring pressure.

Gao Lingxiao and Qiao Zhaoxian exchanged a glance, but neither of them stopped them.

"He Li!!"

With a low whistle, Chen Dengming unleashed his magical artifact, the Law Treasure -Soul Shocking Silk instantly swirled towards him, its thousands of silver threads coiling and condensing into a gleaming broadsword.

The whistling sound was not loud at first, but suddenly it came out like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, reaching the ears of everyone in the Formation below, and could be clearly heard.

Chen Dengming suddenly held the knife in both hands, held it vertically between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and his breathing became even and long, entering a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his killing intent as severe as frost!

He Li was startled and looked up in surprise and astonishment.

Do you remember me, Chen?

Chen Dengming opened his eyes again, his gaze sharpening like never before.

An extremely powerful Blade Intent, accompanied by a sharp blade, shot out from his eyes in an instant.

"Such powerful Blade Intent!!" Gao Lingxiao's eyes widened in shock.

Chen Dengming's cold, tangible gaze, accompanied by the flash of a blade, pierced straight into He Li's astonished face within the Formation below, causing a burning pain to his skin.

The moment their eyes met, He Li felt as if he had never seen those eyes before, yet he couldn't quite place who they were.

But in that instant, he felt as if he had been punched in the chest, his breath rising upwards, and he felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.

In that instant, Chen Dengming let out a long roar and slashed fiercely with his sword.

An unparalleled and powerful sword aura suddenly erupted as the blade grew larger, the movement executed in one fluid motion, faster than lightning, and the sword wind surged out like a gathering storm.

Boom!

It was as if a dazzling silver ribbon had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The power of the Dao burst forth, instantly tearing apart the seemingly solid and unbreakable Formation barrier, blasting away the countless swarming Yin spirits like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening crack exploded in mid-air.

The Formation barrier collapsed and shattered completely in an instant.

Numerous Soul Devouring Sect screamed and coughed up blood. The Soul Guiding Banner was shattered by the sword energy, and countless Yin Souls were annihilated under the sweeping silver sword energy that resembled lightning and thunder!

Chen Dengming's white hair flew wildly at his temples, his eyes gleaming brightly. Suddenly, he drew his knife and looked at Qiao Zhaoxian and the other man.

"Brother Qiao, Fellow Daoist Gao, make your move! He Li to me; I must kill him myself."

"Ah! Oh, right, make your move!"

"Kill!"

Qiao Zhaoxian and Gao Lingxiao snapped out of their daze and quickly responded.

On the surface, the two appeared as calm as towering mountains, but the shock in their hearts was beyond measure.

One strike breaks the formation!?

Damn it!

This Chen Baimao from the Longevity Sect, the same kind of attack power he used to kill a Golden Core cultivator last time, can really maintain its effectiveness!
