Where Is the Ancestor? (Thanks to Xi Wen)
That's right, those guys rushed into the formation and started self-destructing without even a moment's hesitation, and as soon as one finished, a second one followed. The process was as smooth as flowing water, and there was no hesitation in the eyes of the person executing the tactic. The formation is not as flexible as a person, and it was exhausted in the face of such deliberate and continuous self-destruction.
Xiao Yan knew that these guys, who had been infused with Dou Qi by the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, could no longer be viewed in the same way as ordinary people.
Faced with such firepower, both the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan could only gain some advantages from the sidelines, tacitly leaving the task of direct resistance to the Origin Return Manor. The formations of the Lei-Yao-Shi Three Clans were relatively weaker. Although they were willing, they dared not get too close. They did not have the strong Dou Qi qi support of the Origin Return Manor. Once they truly clashed head-on, they really risked collapsing.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan almost instantly guessed everything, and he was naturally furious. His battle with Feng Ye had ended quickly, but he hadn't expected that Origin Return Manor's situation had become so dire.
Xiao Yan's Emperor-level soul power shot out instantly, its speed far exceeding the speed of light. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan member who was about to self-destruct was also directly controlled by Xiao Yan, and then instantly flung away like a sandbag, self-destructing in mid-air into a useless cloud of blood mist.
The Emperor Realm Soul are terrifyingly powerful. No matter who the opponent is, as long as they are not directly protected by the formation, they are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in front of Xiao Yan. Their premeditated self-destruction might be a formidable threat in the eyes of others, but in Xiao Yan's eyes, it is full of flaws.
After dealing with this person, Xiao Yan slightly changed the direction of his Soul Power. The person who was about to self-destruct had only taken one step away from the great formation when Xiao Yan's Emperor Realm Soul directly blasted a Six-Star Dou Saint into a cloud of blood mist.
With such a swift and decisive kill of two Dou Sheng suicide squad members, the opponents realized what a formidable opponent they were facing. They immediately stopped their advance, and no one dared to peek out from the formation again.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan snorted coldly and landed directly inside the Origin Return Manor's grand formation. His Dou Qi surged forth from his body, and he stomped hard on the formation. The Dou Qi of the Eight-Star Dou Saint continuously poured into the formation, greatly reducing the pressure on the people of the Origin Return Manor. With Xiao Yan's actions, the Pill Tower Ancestor, the core of the formation, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Xiao Yan had no time for pleasantries with the others and immediately went to the corner of the great formation that was on the verge of collapse. He glanced around and knew that of the four Dou Sheng Expert were originally responsible for guarding this area, three had fallen. Of the three, only two had left behind their souls; one Dou Sheng Expert had been rescued and resurrected from the Soul Hall had completely perished. Xiao Yan recognized one of the two souls. The old man was Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of the Pill Tower. During this time, he had also successfully broken through to Dou Sheng with the help of the Origin Return Manor's resources and joined this great formation.
However, he was unlucky and was assigned to guard this place. He was directly shocked by the sudden attack from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and his self-destruction, causing his body to collapse.
At this moment, Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yan who had suddenly descended, feeling both surprised and ashamed. He hadn't expected to become the breakthrough point so quickly. When Xiao Yan saw him, he was tempted and, under the control of his Soul Power, immediately moved the two soul bodies directly to Wang Yun's location.
Xiao Yan didn't engage in much conversation with Xuan Kongzi; helping them revive was something Wang Yun was already busy with. He even ruthlessly suppressed his emotions. This wasn't a casual sparring match; this was a life-or-death battle concerning the entire continent. The main theme today, without a doubt, was death and sacrifice. As the one now in control of the situation, Xiao Yan had to fulfill his responsibility. What he needed to do now was help Origin Return Manor weather this wave of risk.
The current risk stems from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's clear objective: to target Origin Return Manor. Nine Phoenix and her group are going to great lengths, even resorting to self-destruction to forcefully attack Origin Return Manor's formation, all in an attempt to break through the area where Xiao Yan is currently standing. Their madness isn't for anything else; their target is Xiao Yan and his four Living Dead!
Two hundred Dou Sheng-level powerhouses were captured by the Silent Death Grand Formation released by three Living Dead and a War Puppet, a truly game-changing event. Now that they're risking their lives, they naturally want to find a way to rescue the many Dou Shengs trapped inside the Gate of Silent Death.
In Nine Phoenix's words, those were over two hundred living Dou Sheng, not two hundred pigs. They couldn't have been dealt with so quickly, and they hadn't given up on the rescue. Nine Phoenix understood that even if half of the two hundred Dou Sheng Expert were being controlled were lost, there would still be one hundred Dou Sheng left, who were still a crucial force that needed to be rescued.
Xiao Yan looked at the three Living Dead who were tightly controlling the Gate of Silent Death, oblivious to everything happening outside.
As the master, he knew better than anyone that while the Gate of Silent Death was terrifying, it was by no means without limitations. In fact, only about one-tenth of the two hundred people inside the gate were eliminated by the Qi of Silent Death, and without a quiet space, it would be difficult for the Living Dead to avoid being disturbed by external noises. Xiao Yan had gone to great lengths to close the gap between the two sides, and he absolutely could not let them perish here.
Moreover, as long as the Living Dead and the Gate of Silent Death remain here, they will always be a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
As long as they are there, the remaining nearly three hundred people will still attack Origin Return Manor frantically. And right now, Xiao Yan doesn't have time to set up or operate the great formations of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan.
Xiao Yan also looked at the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, his eyes filled with fierceness and killing intent. "Since you want it so badly, then so be it!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the moment Xiao Yan reappeared from the Nihility Vortex, Nine Phoenix, the commander on the other side, couldn't help but rub his eyes. He even began to doubt whether he had seen things correctly.
With her eyes and Soul Power combined, Nine Phoenix looked again and again, but there was no trace of Feng Ye, neither beside Xiao Yan nor on their side!
By the time Xiao Yan reappeared on the battlefield, less than half an incense stick's time had passed since Feng Ye went to fight Xiao Yan.
"That's Xiao Yan? Where's our ancestor?"
"Impossible, this guy is definitely just putting on a brave face."
Then, when Xiao Yan started to make his move, he truly realized that his ancestor, who was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng level expert and who had vowed before the battle to personally defeat Xiao Yan and avenge the humiliation of their previous encounter, had not even been able to stop Xiao Yan.
