In the Far Southern Land, outside the Burning Flame Valley.
The two massive armies gathered outside Burning Flame Valley like a dark cloud. As the sunlight shone down, a large shadow was cast over the Burning Flame Valley's peaks. All the disciples in the valley stood up at this moment, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as they looked at the distant sky. When the sunlight disappeared, what appeared before them was a dense mass of indistinct figures.
Although they couldn't see clearly who the newcomer was, all the disciples on the mountain understood that Burning Flame Valley was likely facing a great calamity today!
At the summit of the mountain, in a relatively open plaza, the Ancestor Fen Tian and a group of powerful figures from the valley stood, including Xiao Yi Xian and others. Beside Xiao Yi Xian stood a silver puppet, the very puppet Xiao Yan had obtained when he rescued the Fang Clan members. Before leaving, Xiao Yan had entrusted it to Xiao Yi Xian. Upon seeing this, the surrounding powerful figures couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in their eyes.
Giving away a puppet at the Source Origin King level so casually—even they don't have that kind of generosity!
"It's finally here...?"
The Ancestor Fen Tian narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the vast army outside Burning Flame Valley. He opened his mouth slightly and said in a deep voice.
"This is a true decisive battle. The elite forces of both sects have been mobilized, and all the powerful experts dispatched from elsewhere have been summoned back. Even the sect deacons at the Origin Return Realm and Origin Transformation Realm have been brought in. They really intend to wipe out my Burning Flame Valley in blood!"
A solemn expression also appeared on Li Chengxu's face. He had been busy investigating the movements of the two sects these past few days, and he knew these matters very well.
Upon hearing this, the others beside him nodded solemnly. Although they knew this day would come sooner or later, their hearts were still uneasy as the battle approached. After all, this battle not only concerned the lives of countless people, but also affected the overall situation in the Far Southern Land. In the end, no matter which side won, the outcome would be tragic!
"Valley Master, Elder Xiao Yan... where is he?"
Suddenly, someone seemed to notice something amiss. Xiao Yan, who was usually by the side of the Ancestor Fen Tian, had vanished recently. Could it be...?
Thinking of a certain possibility, many people became secretly nervous. If Xiao Yan really deserted in the face of battle, wouldn't that be a huge blow to Burning Flame Valley?
"Hmph, what? He's not here, and you don't even have the courage to fight?"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Fen Tian's expression suddenly turned cold, and he sneered.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately, and they hurriedly denied it. This, however, made the Ancestor Fen Tian sneer in his heart. These guys, in the end, were still only concerned with their own interests. As soon as the person who could take the bullet for them was gone, they showed such an expression. It was simply shameful.
"Don't worry, he'll come back."
As if to comfort these guys, the Ancestor Fen Tian smiled and said something. Although there was no basis for it, the old man still believed that Xiao Yan would be able to return in time. And at that time, perhaps this seemingly invincible battle would have a hopeful turning point.
"Hahahaha! Fen Tian, you've held the position of the Southern Overlord of Burning Flame Valley for far too long. Now, it's time for a change of master!"
Just then, outside Burning Flame Valley, Ren Kui's familiar voice rang out again, his laughter carrying a hint of arrogance and domineering. Although the battle between the two sides had not yet begun, he seemed to have already foreseen the inevitable fate of Burning Flame Valley.
"Hmph, Ren Kui, you're celebrating too soon. The outcome is still uncertain!"
Stepping out slowly, Ancestor Fen Tian spoke softly, then raised his hands, his ten fingers moving in unison, his hand seals changing. Almost simultaneously, beams of white light rapidly rose up from the entire Burning Flame Valley, transforming into a milky-white energy shield that enveloped the entire Burning Flame Valley.
This is the protective formation of Burning Flame Valley, the Star Disk Grand Formation!
This is precisely what Burning Flame Valley obtained from Luo Jin's father using the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. Although it is merely a derivative of the Taiyi Star Disk, this Star Disk Grand Formation is a genuine seventh-order array. The energy shield condensed by this Formation Plate is naturally extraordinary in power. Not only can it serve as protection, but it can even deflect some of the opponent's attacks. Even with the foundations of these two major sects, breaking through this Star Disk Grand Formation will certainly not be an easy task.
"This is the protective formation of Burning Flame Valley..."
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the energy shield before him, Ren Kui frowned. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally discern the extraordinary nature of this formation. However, given the current situation, they had no choice but to forcibly break through the formation.
Immediately following the command from the two sect leaders, the powerful figures on both sides released their formidable Origin Qi, then leaped into the air, transforming into streaks of light and rushing straight towards the formation before them.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
A deafening roar erupted as powerful Dou Technique bombarded the energy shield, creating ripples of energy and deflecting much of it. This sudden barrage forced the two attacking sects' experts to make mistakes, with some even sustaining serious injuries. Meanwhile, the once-solid energy shield began to tremble slightly...
The energy explosions outside Burning Flame Valley continued for an unknown period of time until, at a certain moment, Ren Kui and Xie Shan, the sect leaders of the two sects, finally attacked together. Under their combined offensive, the Star Disk Grand Formation was finally forcibly shattered. However, even so, from the mountain at this moment, the number of densely packed figures that had stood in the sky was now much smaller. Countless Origin Return Realm Origin Return Realm experts had perished in the explosion, and even several Origin King level experts were seriously injured. Even the most famous puppets of the Heavenly Puppet Sect had suffered some damage.
Although the battle has not yet officially begun, the two sects have already suffered considerable losses in order to break the formation. This has caused Ren Kui and Xie Shan to change their expressions, but it has also boosted the morale of many people in Burning Flame Valley.
"Hmph, Fen Tian, you will pay a terrible price for all of this!"
Ren Kui let out a cold shout, his body trembled, and the powerful aura of the Seven-Star Origin Emperor immediately spread out from his body. With a wave of his hand, the Vajra Puppet immediately appeared beside him. At the same time, Xie Shan also released the vast energy within his body, his eyes flashing as he stared at the Ancestor Fen Tian on the opposite mountain peak.
"Hahahaha, Ren Kui, Xie Shan, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I knew that the three of us would have a battle sooner or later. Today, let me see just how strong you really are!"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Fen Tian laughed loudly. As his Origin Qi surged, his aged body instantly appeared in the void opposite Ren Kui and the other two. The moment he looked up, an invisible and vast pressure swept outward from his body, forcefully resisting the oppressive aura formed by the two powerful figures rushing towards him. This even caused the expressions of the two people in front of him to change.
As expected of the Ancestor Fen Tian, a powerful figure at the Origin Ancestor Great Realm, his terrifying aura and pressure are truly terrifying!
