When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing before the Cave Abode.
Their once orderly formation had scattered into disarray, its members strewn in every direction!
An intense sense of inversion welled up within them, leaving them struggling to adjust.
Just then, demonic light suddenly blazed from the enormous stone doors at the entrance, and a sinister, terrifying aura washed over them.
All they could hear was a strange, rasping cackle echoing within the Cave Abode.
The sound was piercing and eerie, sending chills down their spines.
"There was a road to heaven, yet you would not take it; hell had no gate, yet you insisted on barging in! Hehehehe!"
The strange laughter grew ever more unbridled, as though mocking them for overestimating themselves.
Cao Zheng and the others' expressions changed abruptly as an ominous premonition rose within them.
The formation that had shifted their positions and brought on that intense sensation of inversion and disordered space and time was none other than the Small Five-Element Inverted Trapping Formation.
This formation possessed extraordinary power. Once activated, it could instantly reverse the five elements, divide the battlefield, invert heaven and earth, and scramble the positions of those within.
This was a Mid-Grade Second Tier Restricting Formation and defensive formation!
Here, one's sense of direction grew hazy.
Those within the formation would experience an indescribable sense of inversion and disorientation.
Moreover, the great formation was like a honeycomb, dividing the crowd among separate labyrinths and exerting immense pressure on their Divine Souls.
Even cultivators with profound cultivation would struggle to adjust and find a way to break the formation in a short time.
