Within the pitch-black, eerie space, a colossal city sits. The world is shrouded in darkness, and strange black energy envelops the entire city. In the void, figures flash out continuously, and in the blink of an eye, they have already occupied the entire sky.

Hundreds of figures stood in the sky above Golden Radiance City, their powerful Dou Qi auras spreading outwards and suppressing everyone in the city.

Somewhere in the sky, Fan Siyuan and the other members of the Formation Master Association had extremely solemn expressions. Their gazes swept over each of the people, and their hearts sank rapidly.

These black-robed figures that kept appearing at this moment were actually all Dou Di experts!

Hundreds of Dou Di powerhouses—such a force was an overwhelming advantage for them!

After a long while, the strange phenomena in the void gradually ceased. By this time, nearly five hundred black-robed figures had appeared in the sky!

Five hundred Dou Di experts—even in the entire Western Region, it's probably impossible to gather that many powerful individuals!

" Qin Yun! What exactly do you want? We have no grudge against each other, why are you doing this!"

Fan Siyuan's face was extremely grave. The powerful Dou Qi within his body surged outwards without any restraint. At this moment, his Spiritual Strength was frantically mobilized, condensing into a huge array in the sky around him. Golden light shone, illuminating this dark space.

At the same time, Qi Ming and Huo Lie beside him also poured their Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi into the huge formation. The three of them stood back to back, assuming a defensive posture.

The members of the Formation Master Association around them also had extremely solemn expressions as they mobilized their Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi, frantically pouring them into the huge array beneath their feet.

A powerful aura emanated from the formation, and halos of light rose from it, transforming into light curtains that protected all the formation masters within.

With these light barriers protecting them, even if the opponent is Nine-Star Dou Di, it is impossible for them to be easily harmed.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Needless to say, a major battle was rapidly brewing.

After half a month of calm, the storm has arrived. Only now do the heavy-hearted people realize why Fan Siyuan and others have sealed off the entire Golden Radiance City.

It turned out that they had sensed danger as early as half a month ago, but what they couldn't understand was why the Formation Master Association wouldn't let them in or out. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to keep them here, forcing them into the mess, so as to help them overcome their difficulties?

With this in mind, many people in the city cast hateful glances at the array masters in the sky.

Faced with those gazes, Fan Siyuan and the others felt particularly helpless. They were barely able to protect themselves, so they had no mind to pay attention to these people. The blockade of Golden Radiance City was only to prevent Qin Yun's people from secretly entering the city and destroying the formation like Xiao Yan had done last time. However, the current situation was far beyond their expectations.

Qin Yun and the others' methods far exceeded expectations. The previous formation was one of the most defensive Fourth-Tier Formation, yet it was so easily broken by the black-robed man. This showed that the other party was clearly prepared, and their purpose was particularly obvious.

After today's battle, his Formation Master Association will likely find it difficult to maintain its foothold!

Thinking of this, Fan Siyuan's gaze involuntarily met that of Qi Ming and Huo Lie beside him for a moment. He saw deep despair in their eyes, and it was clear that they were thinking the same thing as him.

"Why? Hahahaha, naturally, it's to gain power!"

At that very moment, Qin Yun's arrogant laughter echoed within the space, his voice filled with arrogance and domineering arrogance, as well as a strong sense of bloodlust and greed.

"Your Qinhuang Lost Valley is already the most powerful force in the Western Region, with countless cultivation resources within. Why bother going to such lengths to deal with us? Aren't you afraid of ending up here today as well?"

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

Qin Yun gave a cold shout, and hundreds of Dou Di experts in the sky set off simultaneously, charging fiercely downwards.

Their target wasn't just the members of the Formation Master Association, but everyone in the city at that moment!

In the blink of an eye, the sounds of fierce fighting echoed through the city below. The sounds of battle were deafening, like bursts of thunder. Powerful Dou Qi clashed back and forth, dense like raindrops. The fierce battle had officially begun at this moment.

In the sky, the five Nine-Star Dou Di turned their gazes toward Fan Siyuan and the others.

Facing the great formation beneath their feet, the masked, eerie man in black robes stepped forward again, flipped his hand, and the strange black energy reappeared in his palm.

Upon seeing the strange black energy the size of a palm, Fan Siyuan and the others in the formation suddenly changed their expressions. They had already clearly witnessed the power of this strange thing before. After their formation was completely enveloped by this black light, it was broken. If this strange black energy were to spread unchecked now, wouldn't the great formation beneath their feet disappear again?

"Stop him! We must not let what he has touch the great formation!"

Fan Siyuan let out a thunderous roar, and at the same time, he hurriedly raised his hands, his ten fingers moving in unison, and the great formation beneath his feet also changed accordingly.

As the golden array was formed and changed in Fan Siyuan's hands, it began to operate rapidly. The enormous energy within it surged out from the bodies of everyone in the array and poured into Fan Siyuan's body along the array.

Infused with this immense energy, Fan Siyuan's aura immediately became stronger. Without hesitation, Fan Siyuan pointed a finger at the man in black robes.

"Boom!"

The instant Fan Siyuan pointed his finger, a massive amount of Dou Qi energy erupted from his fingertip, like a volcanic eruption, transforming into a huge pillar of energy that directly bombarded the black-robed man.

Wherever it passed, the invisible void was easily crushed by that energy, buzzing and making one's heart tremble.

"Drink!"

Just as the enormous pillar of energy was about to collide with the man in black robes, the four Nine-Star Dou Di behind him suddenly stepped forward, each releasing powerful Dou Qi. The four of them joined forces to condense a solid energy shield in the void in front of them, forcefully blocking the massive Dou Qi energy.

"Bang!"

A violent collision resounded, and both the energy shield and the enormous energy pillar trembled violently. A series of intense, wave-like tremors echoed in the surrounding void, and powerful energy ripples spread outwards, creating a deafening spectacle.

Soon, the enormous pillar of energy exhausted its power, and as it dissipated, the energy shield formed by the four Nine-Star Dou Di also vanished, revealing the four people behind it.

Immediately after the two massive energies canceled each other out, the black energy in the black-robed man's palm somehow landed on the large array where the members of the Formation Master Association were standing.

"Buzzing..."

Instantly, a violent tremor resounded across the massive formation. Upon hearing this sound, Fan Siyuan and the others within the formation displayed expressions of utter horror. Soon, the backlash from the destruction of the formation also swiftly manifested on their faces.

One corner of the formation was swallowed by the strange black energy. Without the support of this part of the power, the entire formation lost its balance. The expressions on the faces of everyone in the formation turned red in an instant, and then their faces turned pale. They couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

While Fan Siyuan and the other two high-ranking members of the Formation Master Association were unharmed, the other members of the Formation Master Association who formed the array were experiencing chaotic internal energy and surging blood and qi, making it difficult for them to mobilize their Dou Qi for the time being.

"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"

Upon seeing the unexpected turn of events, Fan Siyuan's expression changed drastically. He shouted loudly and waved his hand, leading the two people around him as they rushed forward.

With the great formation destroyed, his subordinates were now completely exposed to those people. If anything happened to them, they would be powerless to fight back. The formation masters were their last strength, and the three of them alone could not possibly contend with the five people in front of them. To deal with them, these formation masters would become an indispensable help.

Although the formation was destroyed, don't forget that there are still many Formation Plate in their Storage Ring. Apart from the high-level Formation Plate, most of the low-level Formation Plate are activated with Spirit Stone. Therefore, as long as these formation masters can be saved, they still have the strength to fight back.

Even if they are to die in the end, they will make these people pay the price!

While the fierce battle continued to rage within this space, outside, in the mountains and forests beyond Golden Radiance City, two figures leisurely flew over from the horizon.

However, judging from their direction, Golden Radiance City was clearly not their destination; they were merely passing through.

As the two flew closer, they became clearer: one old and one young, standing side by side, their destination directly west.

Everything that happened in Golden Radiance City seemed to have no effect on these two people, or rather, they hadn't even noticed Golden Radiance City's location.

Because at this moment, a huge crater appeared where Golden Radiance City was originally located, and the size of that crater was the area of the entire Golden Radiance City!

Golden Radiance City seemed to have vanished into thin air. Apart from a few sparse roads, it was impossible to tell that not long ago, this was a bustling city!

Judging from the shape of this giant pit, it is more accurate to describe it as a huge basin than a deep pit.

Such strange terrain wouldn't seem odd to ordinary people. Seeing something like this in the Western Region is perfectly normal. The vast desert is inherently unpredictable, and even bizarre sights like this huge pit are quite common in the Western Wilderness Region.

However, just as the two were about to cross the threshold, the old man among them suddenly hesitated and frowned. He seemed to sense something—an energy fluctuation emanating from the void.

"Etc."

The old man called out to the young man beside him, who was slightly taken aback and frowned as he looked at the old man.

"What's wrong?"

"Something's not right. I think I can sense those guys' presence."

The old man's voice became slightly lower, and from the old man's tone, the young man seemed to have thought of something. His eyes narrowed instantly, and his gaze quickly swept across the world. With a thought, his vast Spiritual Strength spread outward, carefully exploring the world.

"It's no use, that aura isn't in this area, it should be in..."

The old man pondered for a moment, his cloudy gaze slowly moving. When he saw the huge pit, his expression changed slightly. He raised his arm, extended a finger, and pointed directly at the huge pit.

"There!"

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately looked in the direction the old man was pointing. However, the next moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly. All he could see was a huge pit, and there seemed to be nothing else inside. There was nowhere to hide in the pit, and with the sunlight shining down, everything inside was clearly visible. He couldn't see a single ghost.

"I already said, that aura isn't in this world, but in the Endless Void."

As the old man spoke, he extended his fingers and made a few simple strokes in the air. His fingers moved like ink, leaving behind strange golden runes in the void. It was actually a simple formation. What was most shocking was that such a strange formation was made so easy and effortless in the old man's hands.

Once the formation was complete, the invisible void slowly began to twist, then transformed into a pitch-black space, resembling a giant square light screen, which remained in front of the two people.

The light screen was completely dark, and nothing could be seen. However, soon, light gradually gathered within the darkness, and a series of images appeared.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge city, where countless figures are clashing fiercely. The number of dead and injured is increasing at an extremely rapid pace, and judging from the situation, it is clearly one-sided.

Among them, a large group of people dressed in black robes and wearing strange masks held an absolute advantage.

When the young man saw the people in black robes, especially the strange masks on their faces, his eyes immediately showed a look of horror.

" Dou Di? These guys are all Dou Di? How is that possible? When did they...?"

"Now is not the time to consider that; their goal is..."

"Are those people array masters? They all possess powerful Spiritual Strength!"

The young man was slightly startled, as if he already knew the purpose of those people.

"Let's go. It's not a good time for us to show ourselves. If they find out we're here, it will only make things worse for us."
