The intimidating look in Lin Heng's eyes made Yan Feng abruptly stop speaking halfway through his sentence.
He wanted to continue refuting Situ Jiannan's previous words, but after meeting Lin Heng's gaze, he unconsciously shut his mouth.
His silence chilled the hearts of all the forces that were dependent on the Fire Clan.
No one knew what Yan Feng had gone through, but his silence made the forces under the Fire Clan feel that Yan Feng was powerless to refute.
At this moment, the sects that had been standing behind Yan Feng couldn't help but start keeping their distance from him.
The commotion caused by the Fire Clan naturally did not escape the notice of other forces.
Although no one understood why Yan Feng didn't refute it to reassure his subordinates, everyone vaguely felt that this matter was definitely related to the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
With this in mind, the leaders of the other factions naturally adopted a new attitude towards Lin Heng and his Battle Heaven Pavilion.
After all, there's a real-life example of the Firmament Hall. Since we know we can't stop it, why forcefully resist it?
It's just another Ascenders force, so what? Our Eight Great Imperial Clans control the eight fundamental elements of the universe; can the Ascenders destroy us?
Off the field, the verbal sparring between the Fire Clan and the high-ranking members of the Battle Heaven Pavilion temporarily ended with a complete victory for the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Inside the arena, the Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples' offensive against the Volcanic Rock Turtle reached its most intense moment.
The four disciples who controlled the Heavenly Wing Four Symbols Formation merged the four Spirit Beast into one.
A mythical beast, thousands of meters tall, engulfed in flames, with wings on its back, tiger claws on its feet, a dragon's aura on its head, and a tortoise-shell-shaped protective shield around its body, roared in the air, ready to annihilate.
The auspicious beast took shape, roared, and its four hooves frolicked in the air.
The next second, the auspicious beast's lantern-sized eyes locked onto the Volcanic Rock Turtle below.
A violent aura soared into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
The sun, hiding behind the clouds, gradually shrouded the earth in darkness.
The moment the shadow completely enveloped the Volcanic Rock Turtle, the auspicious beast swooped down, stomped its hooves in mid-air, and opened its blood-red maw, as if to swallow the Volcanic Rock Turtle whole.
Led by Yan Huo, the Volcanic Rock Turtle sensed the terrifying aura of the auspicious beast and dared not hold back in the slightest.
The auras of the ten Third-Turn Samsara erupted simultaneously, and a fiery light, gathering all their energy, formed a protective shield above them.
As the protective shield took shape, lava erupted from the Volcanic Rock Turtle's body, gradually covering the shield.
The surging magma instantly enveloped the protective shield, and the entire space became distorted under the high temperature of the magma.
In the irregular space, the auspicious beast charged down with unstoppable force, its two front hooves stomping heavily on the magma shield.
The auspicious beast's iron hooves caused the magma shield to tremble violently. Just as an invisible energy from the iron hooves was about to repel the magma and tear the shield apart, more magma surged in and quickly filled the crack in the shield beneath the auspicious beast's iron hooves.
As the protective shield was completely repaired, the surging lava did not stop flowing and continued to spread towards the mythical beast's body.
Very quickly, the lava flowed down the mythical beast's iron hooves and completely covered its body. From the air, all that could be seen was a massive body encased in flowing lava, with angry roars emanating from within.
Logically, Yan Feng should have been happy to see this, as it was a golden opportunity to win.
For some reason, Yan Feng's first reaction wasn't excitement, but rather a suspicious look as he looked at Lin Heng and Ao Lie.
As he expected, Lin Heng Ao Lie remained calm, showing no signs of tension about his impending defeat.
On the contrary, Lin Heng and Ao Lie's eyes simultaneously lit up with excitement.
Could it be...?
Just as Yan Feng was thinking of something, before he could continue, an unusual fluctuation suddenly came from the battlefield.
Yan Feng quickly turned around and looked over.
The magma enveloping the auspicious beast began to expand.
"Oh no, Yan Huo, you guys need to think of a way to escape right now!"
Yan Feng hurriedly shouted.
But as he uttered his last word, the four disciples within the Heavenly Wing Four Symbols Formation simultaneously pointed their weapons at the auspicious beast in the air, which was still swelling.
"Burst!"
The four of them roared simultaneously, and the mythical beast stopped expanding. After a brief moment of peace, a terrifying aura of energy emanated from the magma.
With a loud 'boom,' the mythical beast within the magma self-destructed!
The powerful impact instantly shattered the magma that was originally encasing it, and then even the protective shield covering the magma was shattered.
Even though it broke through the magma and protective barrier, the energy of the explosion did not diminish much, and in the blink of an eye, it swept into the Volcanic Rock Turtle below.
Meanwhile, the four Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples who had been standing below had somehow retreated outside the Six Harmonies Heavenly Gate Formation.
The aftershocks of the explosion quickly impacted the Six Harmonies Heavenly Gate Formation.
After the initial intense collision, the aftershocks of the explosion caused the Six Harmonies Heavenly Gate Formation to tremble slightly, but subsequent waves were unable to shake the Six Harmonies Heavenly Gate Formation in the slightest.
Upon seeing this scene, many low-level cultivators in the Samsara murmured with lingering fear.
"So the outer formation was actually to prevent the aftershocks of the explosion from leaking out?"
Once the first person said this, everyone else had the same thought.
After all, everyone present could clearly feel the energy of the explosion's aftershocks.
Once caught up in it, cultivators below the fourth level have absolutely no chance of survival.
Battle Heaven Pavilion's act of kindness naturally earned the gratitude of many.
Those under the Fire Clan's command experienced an even greater sense of disillusionment.
Think of the Fire Clan; they'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They'll give credit to their own people, but send their own forces to their deaths as cannon fodder.
Then look at the Battle Heaven Pavilion; they were able to think of protecting people from other sects even before the great battle began.
Such a stark contrast caused many members of the Fire Clan's forces to cast hopeful glances at the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Situ Jiannan was overjoyed to see this.
This is such an unexpected and delightful surprise.
The Six Harmonies Heavenly Gate Formation certainly wasn't designed to isolate the aftershocks of an explosion; we had no idea those four kids would come up with this thing before the battle even started.
Seeing that these forces were willing to pledge allegiance was a huge surprise.
When Battle Heaven Pavilion arrived at the Eighth Heaven, he intended to expand the sect and recruit more subordinate forces.
The original plan was to establish a foothold in the Eighth Heaven and then use the Nether Ancestor Puppet, which had reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, to begin implementing the plan.
However, before they could even establish a firm foothold, they unexpectedly gained the favor of so many sects through an Wuxin act.
Does that mean that once this great war is over, we can try recruiting followers?
