Formation Broken

Over a hundred people had already died from triggering the formation!

Most of them had been reduced to ashes.

Among them was even an entire Sun Grade Sect's worth of people!

This made many begin to fear and give up.

"Forget it, even pooling the sect's full strength, we can only break through one or two barriers at most. It's meaningless. We might as well give up early."

"Too difficult. A formation left by a generation's supreme—unless you have a foundation of the same level, it's as hard as reaching the heavens!"

"Let's just wait for those great powers to break the formation. Maybe then we can snatch a few scraps!"

Many sects gave up and just watched from the periphery.

The fastest to break through were the Dragon Profound Sect and the Immortal Music Pavilion.

"As expected of the Immortal Music Pavilion—they've already broken through over a dozen barriers!"

"The Dragon Profound Sect is also incredibly strong. Are those two the direct line of the Fire Kingdom? They seem to possess an eye technique of the same origin as the Lihuo Supreme!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Now, the two great sects had drawn all the attention.

"Hm? What sect is that? They've broken through three barriers in a row!"

At that moment, someone else looked in a certain direction in surprise.

Many turned to look.

Over there were Huo Ling'er, Yu Qishui, and the others.

Huo Ling'er and Yu Qishui weren't highly skilled in formations, but her Holy Fire Eyes were simply too monstrous!

Not a single detail of the formation could escape her observation.

Thus, it was like walking on flat ground.

"Closing in on the final barrier!"

At the Immortal Music Pavilion, Ling Xian was now drenched in sweat!

No matter how the zither music played behind him, he couldn't suppress the wild agitation in his heart.

And the final barrier—an orange flame spread out like an impassable Fire Wall!

The formation plate in Ling Xian's hand was nearly cracked!

"The last barrier!"

Ling Xian roared, pouring all his spiritual power into the formation plate!

Green light pulsed from the plate, probing toward the orange Fire Wall!

"Boom—"

In an instant, the orange blaze ignited even the green light, racing back along it!

"Smack!"

The formation plate shattered into dust!

"No!"

Ling Xian was horrified, his soul nearly scattering!

The next moment, the flames swallowed him whole!

Ling Xian... dead?

"Young Master Ling!"

Qing Luo's pretty face changed drastically. Ling Xian was from the Taiyan Holy Land—if something happened to him, it would be disastrous.

But then, a streak of light shot out from the flames, halting in midair. It was Ling Xian!

His face was pale, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. "The last barrier is too strong. I can't get through!"

"If the sect hadn't granted me a Life-Saving Talisman, I would have fallen here."

Hearing this, Qing Luo finally relaxed!

"As long as the Young Master is safe, that's fine. As for this last barrier, if we truly can't pass it, then we can't force it."

With that, she turned her gaze toward the Dragon Profound Sect.

Now that they had failed, their only hope was the Dragon Profound Sect.

If the Dragon Profound Sect could break through, they could follow in behind them. However, according to unwritten rules, the treasures inside would all be chosen by the Dragon Profound Sect first.

The crowd outside also fixed their eyes on the Dragon Profound Sect.

"Too hard. Even the Immortal Music Pavilion failed."

"Now our only hope is the Dragon Profound Sect. If they can't do it, then none of our sects will get in."

"Let's hope they can!"

Everyone watched.

At the Dragon Profound Sect's area.

They too had now reached the final barrier.

By this point, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei had already exchanged the Mysterious Fire Ring several times.

If not for being able to take turns, and the Dragon Profound Sect's experts supplying them with various recovery elixirs, they would have long since collapsed.

But even so, they were now at their absolute limit.

"No... I can't hold on..."

The Mysterious Fire Ring on Huo Xuanfei's hand kept glowing, but she still fell heavily into a faint, staggering down!

At the final barrier, she had only taken a single glance before nearly losing her mind.

Seeing this, Long Ziyin frowned slightly and said, "If you can successfully break through this barrier, I will petition the sect to grant the two of you a cultivation technique!"

A cultivation technique!

"Let me try!"

Huo Mingxuan immediately gritted his teeth and spoke up.

His Eye of Blazing Fire was slightly stronger than Huo Xuanfei's.

Donning the Mysterious Fire Ring, he poured all his strength into it. The flame in his eyes blazed to the peak of what he could achieve, faintly showing signs of nearly collapsing.

He barely managed to glimpse the veins and patterns of the Fire Wall...

He was about to speak them out, but then let out a miserable cry!

Blood streamed from Huo Mingxuan's eyes, and the Mysterious Fire Ring on his hand turned red-hot, burning through his flesh!

"Backlash!"

An old man rushed forward and protected Huo Mingxuan's vital energy!

"Saintess, there's no way now..."

Elder Zhao also spoke to Long Ziyin, his face full of exhaustion.

Long Ziyin's brows were tightly knit, her beautiful eyes filled with unwillingness.

Was this really where they had to stop?

Outside, the crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Even the Dragon Profound Sect failed..."

"A Supreme-level Secret Realm would need at least a Mahayana Stage expert, or even a Venerable, to have any hope, right?"

"Looks like we've come up empty this time."

"No chance... sigh..."

Everyone spoke one after another.

"Someone is still breaking through the barriers!"

At that moment, a sudden shout rang out.

Everyone turned to look in the direction the person was pointing!

"It's them?!"

In the Dragon Profound Sect's area, Long Ziyin was taken aback.

It was none other than Huo Ling'er and her group!

At the Immortal Music Pavilion, Qing Luo and Ling Xian were also watching.

"Impressive, to be able to break through over a dozen barriers in a row..."

Ling Xian murmured.

At this moment, Huo Ling'er and the others had drawn everyone's attention.

A thin layer of sweat had formed on Huo Ling'er's face.

The pale golden flame in her eyes burned unceasingly!

With the Holy Fire Eyes, she found that even though she wasn't proficient in formations, she could sense their flaws!

It was a natural rhythm.

And so, they quickly reached the final barrier as well!

"Hiss!"

Outside, everyone drew in a sharp breath.

"Isn't this the Lihuo Sect? A mere Star Level Force, along with the Fire Kingdom's Third Princess, and they've managed to match what two Supreme Forces accomplished?"

"Unbelievable..."

"It's not simple—this is absolutely not just some small Star Level Force!"

Everyone spoke up one after another.

The Dragon Profound Sect's Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, who had already steadied themselves, were even more shocked at the sight.

Huo Ling'er... could actually lead the Lihuo Sect people that far?

How was that possible?

They had to know, the Mysterious Fire Ring had already been taken from her!

Where did Huo Ling'er get the strength?

"This can't be..."

The siblings both murmured in that moment.

"It seems her eye technique cultivation still surpasses the two of you."

Long Ziyin spoke calmly, recalling the scene when she had first seen Huo Ling'er.

Back then, she had found Huo Ling'er's eyes dazzling, assuming it was only because Huo Ling'er wore the Mysterious Fire Ring. Now it seemed Huo Ling'er's cultivation was actually so outstanding!

She had misjudged!

"Her? She's nothing but a lowly slave! With her, she dares to delusionally try to break the formation? Seeking death!"

Huo Xuanfei sneered with cold mockery, utterly unwilling to believe it.

"Sister Ling'er, can you do it?"

Mu Qianning spoke nervously.

She could sense that Huo Ling'er was already very exhausted.

In that moment, she recalled the first time she had met Senior Li.

Even the terrifying Invisible Fire had to actively yield to Senior Li. If Senior Li could come here, any Absolute Array would be as easy as walking on flat ground!

Unfortunately, why would Senior Li care about a mere Supreme Secret Realm?

"I'll try!"

Facing the final Fire Wall, Huo Ling'er took a deep breath!

She calmed her heart.

In that instant, she recalled—recalled the images of the great suns she had seen in Senior Li's courtyard...

One great sun after another, as if representing the most powerful force in this world...

In her eyes, the pale golden flames seemed to transform into a sun.

She saw the Fire Wall and stared at it for a long time!

After a long while, she suddenly reached out and drew a door upon the Fire Wall!

And the flames... did not harm her!

When she finished drawing the door, the entire Fire Wall suddenly vanished in an instant!

The array was broken!
