"Damn it, what the hell did those two bastards, the Demon Lord, bring in?"
In an Wuming valley in the Third Realm, thousands of ancient behemoths gathered, all of them at the Heaven Tier. One of them, a supreme giant at the Heaven-Defying Tier, roared angrily to the sky, while the others also looked quite grim.
Since the auras of the Demon Lord Dugu Baitian suddenly appeared in the Third Realm ten years ago, after a three-year period of initial calm, the powerful figures in the Third Realm have disappeared one after another, and even the sealed remnant of the Heavenly Body has mysteriously vanished.
Only a few Peak Heaven Tier experts who possessed Forbidden Power disappeared, leaving behind traces of battle, proving that their disappearance was not voluntary.
According to their calculations, someone must have infiltrated the Third Realm and secretly killed Heaven Tier experts. In just seven years, more than four thousand Heaven Tier experts disappeared, including some who controlled Forbidden Power and were able to compete with Heaven-Defying Tier Heaven Tier.
Now, only a thousand people remain in the entire Third Realm, and that's only after they released the powerful figures who had been sealed away; otherwise, the number would be even smaller.
Although those who have survived to this day are the strongest, either their cultivation has reached the Heaven-Defying Tier or they possess Forbidden Power, enabling them to fight beyond their level.
Their overall strength was far greater than all those that had disappeared combined, but this still made them very uneasy.
Although they were unable to track down the mysterious figure, they were basically certain that it was not the Demon Lord Dugu Baitian who personally descended upon the Third Realm, but someone else.
But that mysterious powerhouse was far too terrifying and troublesome. Even the top ancient beasts among them were not confident they could survive against him. So they had no choice but to put aside their past grievances and band together for mutual support.
"No, we've fallen for their trap!"
Suddenly, the two supreme giants who had mastered the Dao of Destiny and the Dao of Time stood up and tried to fly into the sky, but they crashed into an invisible barrier halfway through and could not break through.
"He wants to wipe us all out!"
The numerous ancient behemoths knew exactly what was going on; it must have been that mysterious powerful figure who had secretly set up a grand formation here to wipe them all out.
This shocked and angered everyone, who immediately turned their attention to a few individuals in the group.
These individuals are all masters of Dao of Formations, and the array set up here is clearly incredibly powerful. It's impossible to break it through brute force; only these Dao of Formations masters can break it now.
As time went on, the expressions of those Dao of Formations masters grew increasingly solemn, and everyone else's faces also became increasingly grim.
The situation is quite clear; this formation must be extremely troublesome, as even these masters of Dao of Formations cannot break it quickly, which is very dangerous.
"Is it troublesome?"
The ancient colossal beast Xuanhuang slowly stepped out and asked in a deep voice.
"It is indeed very troublesome. Although the formation here is simple, it connects to countless Earth Vein in the Third Realm, thereby compressing the sealing power of the Third Realm around us."
The sealing power set up by the Third Realm was already incredibly strong, and now that it has been forcibly compressed, its intensity has increased at least tenfold.
There are two ways to break this formation: one is to forcibly break the formation and shatter the entire Third Realm; the other is to destroy all the Earth Vein.
After exchanging ideas for a Dao of Formations, the leader finally gave a result and a solution, but this solution was practically useless.
Almost all formations in the world have a core, which is the foundation and hub of the formation. As long as the core is destroyed, even the most powerful formation will vanish.
Therefore, when setting up a formation, they usually conceal the core of the formation so that the opponent cannot find it, or they set up a strong protective force for the core. Finally, and most difficult, they choose a special object as the core of the formation, giving it certain characteristics.
However, this was the first time they had ever seen a formation that used the earth's Earth Vein as its core.
In the past, sects would indeed use the Earth Vein beneath their own land as the core of a protective array, but that was already the limit.
The Third Realm is vast and boundless, spanning countless billions of miles, and contains countless Earth Vein.
Most importantly, since the ancient war, the Earth Vein of the Third Realm have been corrupted by their demonic and malevolent energy, making their energy extremely violent and difficult to utilize.
That's why they subconsciously overlooked the possibility that a large formation had been set up on the ground when they gathered here earlier.
But now they've turned the impossible into the possible, using the entire Earth Vein of the Third Realm to set up a grand formation, and even drawing upon the sealing power of the Third Realm to deal with them.
This is a complete deadlock!
"Then shatter this earth!"
The ancient colossal beast Xuanhuang let out a cold snort and summoned its supreme treasure Xuanhuang Flag, which crashed down onto the ground beneath its feet.
Compared to shattering the entire Third Realm, blasting the earth is slightly easier.
With their own lives at stake, no one dared to hold back, and they all unleashed their strongest supernatural powers, with various Forbidden Power continuously bombarding the earth below.
Unfortunately, since Wang Hao had set up a grand formation for them here, how could he not be on guard?
More than four thousand Heavenly Heaven Tier Dao Soldier, who had been hunted and brainwashed, appeared around the valley and set up an array to strengthen the ground below.
That wasn't all. The formations set up by these Dao Soldier merged with the previous formations of the Earth Vein, causing their power to increase several times over.
This caused the many ancient behemoths trapped in the formation to roar in anger, their demonic aura surging wildly, but they were helpless.
"I, Master Hao, have meticulously planned this for seven years, and have also devoted all my efforts to enlightening all the Earth Vein spirits that had been corrupted by Demonic Sha power, finally forming this unparalleled formation. How could it be so easily broken?"
Atop a mountain a million miles away from the valley, Wang Hao sneered as he looked at the ancient behemoths struggling and roaring.
He began planning as early as when he entered the Third Realm. After figuring out the situation in the Third Realm, he even activated his Dao Comprehension Function and used his Heavenly Dao-level comprehension to deduce a deadly formation that could use the power of the entire Third Realm to fight the enemy.
If those ancient behemoths were still at their peak, it would naturally be difficult to suppress and kill them. However, these ancient behemoths have been exiled here since the ancient times, and even if they have sealed themselves, their strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
Even worse were the giant beasts that were forcibly sealed by powerful enemies. Many of them were completely obliterated by the sealing formations, leaving only their immortal true spirits. Even those who survived were merely clinging to life.
For example, the remnant of the Heavenly Body that was sealed in the Third Realm by the Demon Lord and others was devoured by Wang Hao with very little effort, thanks to the power of the array that was originally sealed.
It was precisely because he obtained that fragment of the Heavenly Body that he was able to set up a super array that mobilized the sealed power of the entire Third Realm.
It should be noted that the sealing power of the Third Realm was laid down by the Azure Heaven Chaos King and others in the ancient times, drawing upon the Power of the Heavenly Dao. It is precisely because of this that even powerful beings at the Heaven-Defying Tier can be sealed here and unable to escape.
The remnant of the celestial body sealed here shares the same identity as Azure Heaven and the others, possessing the Power of the Heavenly Dao. This is equivalent to a key that can indirectly control the powerful sealing force of the Third Realm.
Of course, the successful setup of this grand formation was also largely thanks to the little Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils he had stored in the Chaos Inner World.
The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils itself is Heaven and Earth Divine Beast and earth that took form from the Earth Vein, possessing unimaginable power to control the Earth Vein.
With Little Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils's assistance, things were much easier; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to handle the completely corrupted Earth Vein spirits in the Third Realm, let alone use them to set up formations.
"Rumble..."
The power of the formation continued to erode the ancient behemoths that were desperately resisting, but at that moment, the entire Third Realm suddenly trembled violently, and terrifying roars came from the outside world.
"Is this... Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth?"
Wang Hao suddenly looked up at the sky, using his control over the formation to sense the fluctuations coming from outside the Third Realm. Once he confirmed that the fluctuations were indeed coming from outside the Third Realm, he guessed what was going on.
The fact that it could cause the entire Third Realm to tremble violently must mean a great calamity affecting the entire Six Realms. According to the information he knew, only Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth could match such a commotion.
"It came even faster than I expected!"
With his starry eyes slightly narrowed, Wang Hao was somewhat worried about whether the Fortune Dynasty in the Human Realm could survive.
Although he left behind countless contingency plans, this Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was instigated by several super-powerful figures from the Heavenly Dao, including Azure Heaven. Even though they only sent out avatars of Heaven and did not personally intervene, it was still something that Fortune Dynasty that had only been developing for a little over ten years could not withstand.
The strategy he left for Nangong Xian'er and the other girls was to set up a super array that covered the entire Eastern Land Continent to hide the entire Fortune Dynasty. If it was impossible to hide it, then they would have to confront those world -Destroying the World incarnations of heaven head-on.
If that still doesn't work, Nangong Xian'er and the other women can take the most elite members of the Fortune Dynasty and hide in the Mystic Realm they've plundered, thus avoiding the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.
This is a last resort, tantamount to abandoning everything that Fortune Dynasty has to do. Even if it can make a comeback, it will inevitably take much longer.
Most importantly, a large number of living beings perished in the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, making it extremely difficult for them to recover and develop again.
However, contrary to Wang Hao's expectations, Nangong Xian'er and her companions, who were in charge of the Fortune Dynasty in the Human Realm, activated the grand formation they had set up just before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth descended. They transferred all the living beings of the entire Fortune Dynasty into a vast Mystic Realm, directly skipping the first two steps that Wang Hao had prepared.
Logically speaking, there should be no Mystic Realm so vast that it could Fortune Dynasty all the living beings of the dynasty. However, what Wang Hao did not expect was that the consciousness of heaven and earth in the Human Realm seemed to have sensed the coming of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.
They actually took the initiative to help Nangong Xian'er forcibly merge the Mystic Realm they obtained from the righteous and neutral forces, as well as the Mystic Realm of the Devil Dao sects led by the Six Primordial Evil Daos, into one.
Ultimately, it is the sins committed by these forces in the Human Realm themselves.
Aside from the Destroying the World calamity orchestrated by the awakening of the Heavenly Dao, the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, which only occurs every ten to twenty thousand years, is actually driven by several Heavenly Dao representatives, such as Azure Heaven, with the aim of harvesting the soul essence of all living beings to repair their own injuries and enhance their cultivation.
After all, the ancient war back then was too tragic. The Archaic Gods on Dugu Baitian's side suffered heavy losses, but Azure Heaven and others were also seriously injured, and even several representatives of the Heavenly Dao perished.
For example, there was Cang Tian, who was killed by the Seven Primordial Monarchs and the Seven Absolutes Heavenly Maiden, and Huang Tian, who was dismembered.
Injuries sustained at their level are extremely difficult to recover from, requiring considerable precious resources and time.
Thus, there were repeated Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. Although they could not compare with the Destroying the World calamities dominated by the Heavenly Dao, they were still enough for them to recover. At the same time, they could also hinder the development of the Six Realms and prevent too many new generation of powerful figures from emerging. It can be said that they achieved multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
At the same time, those sects and forces took this opportunity to continuously plunder and annex the land resources of the Human Realm, causing the land area of the Human Realm to become smaller and smaller, far smaller than other worlds, thus giving birth to the boundless Endless Sea.
Therefore, the Mystic Realm of these forces are essentially lands of the Human Realm, and the Will of Heaven and Earth of the Human Realm itself has considerable control over them. It is precisely because of this that they were able to forcibly merge with those Mystic Realm in just a few years.
However, the actions of Nangong Xian'er and the other girls made Dugu Baitian and the other cunning old foxes hiding in the Eastern Land Continent so angry that they wanted to curse.
The Fortune Dynasty could not possibly cover the hiding places of these old schemers. Now that Nangong Xian'er has taken over the entire Fortune Dynasty, the hiding places of many old schemers have been exposed and are now extremely conspicuous.
Also bewildered were several celestial avatars who had descended upon the Eastern Continent of the Human Realm. The celestial avatars stared blankly at the barren Eastern Land Continent below, unsure of what to do.
They came to harvest the primordial power of the souls of all living beings, but now that the place is completely barren, what can they harvest?
As for the super-strong individuals hidden in the Eastern Land Continent, they were not within the scope of their mission.
After all, they were just avatars, their strength at most reaching the Peak Heaven Tier. If they really pushed those super strong individuals hidden in the Human Realm to the limit, they might not be able to return.
However, returning empty-handed didn't seem quite right. For a moment, the many cunning old foxes hidden in the Eastern Land Continent and the several celestial incarnations in the sky stared at each other, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
