Misty Cloud Sect in Danger! Formation Blocks Ten Sects!

"Understood..."

The burly man responded casually, his tone dripping with impatience.

He stretched his back and let out a yawn.

A hint of nonchalance lingered in his eyes; he seemed not to take the formation before him or the impending battle to heart at all.

In his view, with his strength as a nine-star Dou Zong, destroying this so-called formation was a mere trifle.

Because... he was a body cultivator!

As a massive organization, the Soul Hall had members with diverse cultivation paths.

Although the Soul Hall primarily focused on soul-based cultivation—with most of its protectors possessing immensely powerful soul strength and the ability to unleash numerous soul-based skills—a small portion of its members also practiced body cultivation. After all, in this world where strength reigned supreme, a robust physique increased both survivability and combat capability.

Furthermore, when facing enemies against whom soul attacks were ineffective, powerful physical strength could prove decisive.

The man slightly raised his arm, which was as thick as the trunk of a great tree, its muscles bulging with explosive power.

He took a deep breath, and in that instant, his Dou Qi surged like a torrential tide, rapidly gathering into his right fist. The Dou Qi upon his knuckles spun wildly, with faint flashes of lightning flickering within.

"Hah!"

The man let out a violent shout, like a roaring tiger, and punched out with all his might!

In an instant, the very heavens and earth seemed to tremble.

"BOOM!!"

A deafening roar, like countless claps of thunder exploding simultaneously, echoed so loudly that birds in the forests miles away were startled into flight.

His attack, imbued with terrifying power, struck the Misty Cloud Sect's formation like an enraged dragon.

Under this powerful impact, the formation's light flickered violently. Intricate patterns, previously invisible, instantly emerged across the barrier like a taut net, struggling to withstand the ferocious assault.

Where the formation's light collided with the man's Dou Qi, the space itself twisted slightly, as if it might be torn asunder at any moment.

High above the Misty Cloud Sect, the formation warped under the immense pressure.

Yet, after a slight ripple, it slowly returned to its original state.

"Heh... interesting!"

Seeing this, the burly man furrowed his brows, a flash of surprise and excitement crossing his eyes.

He had expected his full-force strike to shatter the formation, never imagining the opponent could block it so steadily.

The resilience of the formation stirred the fighting spirit deep within his bones.

"To think you could block my strike."

"A bit interesting..."

The man muttered to himself, his inner battle intent burning fiercely.

"Then... let's go again!"

He let out a sudden roar, his muscles tensing as Dou Qi surged through his body like a raging torrent.

He raised his thick arm high, mobilizing the violent Dou Qi of the world, and smashed it toward the great formation once more.

This time, he was determined to use his full strength and shatter the barrier with absolute power.

In an instant, countless giant fists condensed from the world's Dou Qi whistled forth, raining down upon the formation with world-destroying momentum.

The entire sky was shrouded in this overwhelming Dou Qi. The members of the Misty Cloud Sect looked up to see a rain of Dou Qi fists descending upon them.

Ripples spread across the formation, making it seem as though it might shatter at any second.

The elders of the Misty Cloud Sect wore grave expressions, while many disciples trembled, their faces pale with terror.

"Who are those people?"

A disciple asked in a trembling voice.

"To be able to tread upon the void without the aid of Dou Qi wings... could they be Dou Zong powerhouses?"

Another disciple guessed in horror.

"When did our Misty Cloud Sect offend such experts..."

The hearts of the crowd were filled with fear and despair.

"Heaven is destroying our Misty Cloud Sect!"

Someone even let out a cry of hopelessness.

"Quick! Go and fetch the Sect Master!"

An elder hurriedly ordered. The disciples, as if granted a reprieve, scrambled toward the Sect Master Hall.

Yet, some remained on their knees, their gazes vacant.

Call the Sect Master?

The Sect Master was only a Dou Huang; what use would it be if she came?

High above the Misty Cloud Sect, the burly man's assault continued unabated, his thick Dou Qi erupting in waves as if he intended to tear the very sky asunder.

Yet, as time wore on, the man began to break into a cold sweat, his breathing growing ragged and shallow.

He stared panting at the great formation that remained unmoved before him, a flicker of disbelief crossing his eyes.

"Hah... how is this possible... hah..."

He could not believe that his all-out attacks had failed to inflict any substantial damage upon the formation.

Seeing this, the other Soul Hall protectors gathered around him.

"Stop wasting your energy; let's strike together instead..."

One protector suggested.

"Focus all our power on a single weak point..."

Another protector chimed in.

They were not fools, and they quickly realized the nature of the problem, understanding that only a combined effort offered any hope of shattering the formation.

Thus, the many Soul Hall protectors mobilized the Dou Qi within their bodies, converging their strength into one.

Hum, hum, hum!

As the protectors unleashed their combined assault, the ripples in the formation grew larger and larger, as if it were on the verge of being torn apart at any moment.

The entire Misty Cloud Sect trembled under the fluctuations of this immense power.

Below, in the Sect Master Hall of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Yun had long since noticed the anomaly above, and she gazed toward the sky with a grave expression.

Feeling that terrifying aura, which far surpassed that of a Dou Huang, her face gradually turned pale.

As the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she knew the gap between her strength and theirs.

Even after switching to the Heaven-tier cultivation technique Xiao Fan had given her, she was currently only a nine-star Dou Huang; facing ten Dou Zong powerhouses was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.

Her hand gripped a jade pendant tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

What should I do... should I crush the jade pendant?

Her heart was filled with struggle and hesitation.

This jade pendant was her final hope...

Just as she was lost in thought, a figure appeared in the sky above the Misty Cloud Sect like a ghost.

The person wore a mask and was draped in a black robe, radiating a powerful aura; it was the terrifying pressure of a nine-star Dou Zong.

After the black-robed figure appeared, the Soul Hall protectors ceased their attacks in unison.

They frowned, observing the suddenly appeared figure with vigilance.

"Hm? To think there is such a powerhouse here..."

One protector said in surprise.

"Hehehehe! A nine-star Dou Zong... his soul power should be quite good, right?"

Another protector let out a sinister, strange laugh, his eyes flashing with greed.

"Why does something feel off..."

Some protectors sensed a hint of abnormality, though they could not quite put their fingers on it.

However, they did not dwell on it for long; after a brief exchange of glances, they tacitly launched their attacks together.

In an instant, countless fierce Dou Skills and soul attacks surged toward the black-robed figure like a tidal wave, attempting to defeat him in the very first strike...
