After those words, Myriad Formation Great Sage did not strike immediately. He simply watched Hu Yanbo in silence.
The Crimson Blood Divine Marrow nurtured by Purgatory Volcano did not all erupt at once.
Each eruption released several dozen drops or so. Neither the intervals nor the number of eruptions was fixed, but the total usually approached a thousand.
However, the intervals between eruptions were never too long.
Thus, Myriad Formation Great Sage had no need to act immediately.
The atmosphere froze like iron. The four Chaos Realm Transcendence experts each occupied one side, and no one spoke again. Only the increasingly rapid, low rumbling from deep within Purgatory Volcano foretold the next eruption.
Great Sages Tan Yan and You Shen were also on full alert, their gazes moving between Myriad Formation Great Sage and Hu Yanbo, their expressions exceptionally grave.
They knew that Myriad Formation Great Sage had just suffered a setback and been provoked by those words. His next attack would surely be earth-shattering.
Myriad Formation, Myriad Formation-formations were merely his outward appearance. Tempering his body through formations, refining himself with them just as his teacher Di Fu did, was what truly mattered.
And Xiao Feng had already demonstrated his extraordinary ability through that secret technique, snatching the Crimson Blood Divine Marrow straight from Myriad Formation Great Sage's grasp.
Not to mention that he had the confidence to provoke Myriad Formation Great Sage.
Rumble!!!
They did not have to wait long. A tremor fiercer than the first came from deep within the volcano, and dark red light pierced the thick smoke and fiery clouds.
Immediately afterward, shrill whistles tore through the air like the howls of countless vengeful ghosts. The second, larger batch of Crimson Blood Divine Marrow erupted wildly in all directions like a blood-colored river of stars
