Hum! Hum!
Beams of dazzling red light burst from the bottom of the enormous fissure, shooting in every direction like spirit serpents.
Within moments, an immense blood-colored formation appeared overhead, enclosing all the cultivators and Ruin Beasts like an overturned bowl of blood.
"So close!" Xu Yan's expression darkened. He was only thirty-odd zhang from the formation's edge, but the red light had moved too quickly for him to react.

Roar! Roar!
