As the massive array was completed, the stone platform beneath everyone's feet gradually stopped trembling. However, before anyone could recover, golden streams of light rapidly condensed in mid-air above the entire stone platform. In the blink of an eye, ten enormous golden orbs of light stood like suns in the void.
"Boom!"
As everyone stared intently, a deafening roar erupted from within, followed by a burst of golden light and a surge of power. After a long while, the dazzling golden light gradually dissipated, and what appeared before everyone's eyes were ten enormous beasts.
The ten colossal beasts were entirely golden, resembling giant gorillas with long arms and slightly short legs. Their bodies were robust, surrounded by golden light, and their golden fangs gleamed with a chilling luster, inspiring fear in those who saw them. Their scarlet beastly eyes were filled with an exceptionally strong aura of killing intent, something that even Dou Di powerhouse would not dare to underestimate.
In addition, intricate array runes were condensed on the bodies of these ten gorillas, radiating light and forming a powerful Dou Qi barrier. With this barrier in place, even a Dou Di expert would find it impossible to defeat them easily.
The moment the ten giant gorillas appeared, everyone present turned their gazes to them with seriousness. Only then did the members of the Four Great Clans slowly raise their heads, their sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present before looking directly at the dozen or so energy orbs on the stone platform.
At the same time, Xiao Yan, amidst the crowd, swept his dark eyes over the Mid-Level Dou Di experts on the stone platform, finally settling on a ball of light enveloping a mysterious scroll.
Xiao Yan wasn't interested in the miscellaneous items; of all the orbs of light on the field, the only one that could possibly move him was this scroll.
Although it is still unknown whether this is Dou Technique or a cultivation method, it is certain that its grade must be high to appear on this stone platform, which is why Xiao Yan made a move.
"Ah!"
Just as Xiao Yan was about to move, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from the stone platform. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the scream, but their expressions changed drastically. They saw that the giant demonic beasts that had descended were now moving, and their target was none other than the group of people currently on the stone platform...
After landing, the gorillas immediately swung their enormous fists and attacked the nearest person.
These apes were all at the Dou Di level. When they attacked at the same time, the force was extremely terrifying. In a short moment, the area within a hundred meters of the stone platform was already stained with crimson blood. Several Dou Di experts were blasted away by a single punch. Instantly, a thick smell of blood permeated the stone platform, causing people to feel horrified.
"These beasts are incredibly strong; we mustn't underestimate them!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the other Dou Di experts in the arena dared not show the slightest carelessness. Anyone who was close to him quickly moved away and retreated a distance.
Below the stone platform, Xiao Yan frowned upon witnessing this scene. These giant beasts were all at the Dou Di level, and now they were wreaking havoc. Once they made their move, it was like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Apart from some Dou Di experts who were not weak in strength, ordinary Dou Di simply did not have the strength to contend with them. They would usually be driven back by these giant beasts after only two or three rounds of fighting.
"What a domineering formation! It can actually summon such a powerful entity. Just how terrifying must the owner of this ruin have been in life!"
"Haha, this monkey is pretty strong! Let me give it a try!"
Suddenly, from the front of the crowd, Huo Ba let out a wild and unrestrained laugh. Immediately afterward, he stomped his foot on the ground, and a corner of the stone platform shattered. His figure shot out like a cannonball, hurtling heavily towards one of the ten gorillas.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterward, a loud explosion came from the stone platform as Huo Ba and the gorilla collided violently. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Huo Ba retreating rapidly. At the same time, the gorilla that was fighting him also retreated hundreds of steps uncontrollably, but was then forcibly stabilized.
"Whoosh--"
Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in uproar. They hadn't expected the ape to be so powerful. Even Huo Ba, Three-Star Dou Di expert, was unable to kill it.
"Hey, what a strange formation! I didn't expect that even with my strength, I couldn't easily break through his protective formation. I can't be careless this time!"
He chuckled softly, but Huo Ba dared not be careless any longer. His gaze then swept past the gorilla and landed on the summit of the stone platform. Of course, from his current position, he couldn't truly see it, but even so, a burning glint appeared deep in his eyes as Huo Ba looked up at the summit, indicating that something incredibly precious existed there.
Immediately afterward, Huo Ba's figure suddenly moved, instantly transforming into a streak of light, swiftly passing over the people on the stone platform, and then, with lightning speed, bypassing the giant beasts, he launched his first attack on the stone platform.
"Oh no, this guy actually wants to get the treasure first!"
Upon seeing this, the other three families below the stone platform also changed their expressions. Then, they exchanged glances, stepped into the void, and their figures instantly transformed into shooting stars, rapidly chasing after Huo Ba above the stone platform.
At the same time, the others on the stone platform also turned their gazes to those energy orbs once again.
In the blink of an eye, in the middle section of the stone platform, Mid-Level Dou Di powerhouses were fighting each other for those energy orbs. Coupled with the terror of the ten giant beasts, the situation in the arena had become a complete mess.
After passing the crowd, on the upward side of the stone platform, the members of the Four Great Clans chased each other, with their Dou Qi occasionally shooting out, and even the people below were sometimes caught in the crossfire.
As for Xiao Yan at this moment, beneath his black robe, a glint of fire flickered in his deep black eyes. His gaze was fixed on the energy cluster enveloping the mysterious scroll on the stone platform. Until a certain moment, as his footing shifted slightly, the Heavenly Severing Steps erupted instantly, and his figure vanished from the stone platform in an instant...
