The Grand Formation and the Puppets!

Above the firmament.

The great melee had erupted for only a few breaths when heaven and earth suddenly changed.

In the gap between Elder Lie Tian's clash with Yun Xu, his withered hand abruptly formed a hand seal.

The seal was soundless and breathless, yet in that very instant, the entire Heaven-Hunting Secret Realm began to tremble violently.

Buzz!

A blood-red curtain of light rose from the depths of the earth, blanketing the entire secret realm in the blink of an eye.

Dense formation patterns crawled across the curtain on their own, every single one radiating terrifying laws that devoured the aura of living beings.

Just as Li Qingshan was about to charge into the depths of Heaven-Hunting Pavilion, he felt the immortal power within him abruptly stagnate, while the radiance of his indestructible golden nature dimmed by several degrees.

An invisible suppressive force surged in from all directions, pressing fiercely upon his laws.

A ninth-grade immortal formation!

The Heaven-Hunting Life-Slaying Grand Formation!

Elder Lie Tian let out a sinister laugh, his voice echoing through the blood-red curtain of light, chilling and piercing.

"Yun Xu, since you have walked into the net yourselves, don't blame this old man for showing no mercy."

"Once the Heaven-Hunting Life-Slaying Grand Formation is activated, even Immortal Lords will find it difficult to escape, much less those Golden Immortal ants behind you."

"This formation can devour the aura of living beings and suppress the cultivation of Golden Immortals and Immortal Lords. Trapped within it, your cultivation will weaken with every moment that passes, while this old man's cultivation will continuously grow stronger."

"When your cultivation is exhausted, it will be time for this old man to reap you one by one."

His laughter grew ever more frenzied, ghostly green flames dancing wildly in his eyes.
