It laughed wildly, its six crimson bone wings suddenly vibrating, and a large amount of ancient prison essence surged wildly along its bone armor. The crimson- Black Bone imprint in its gray-gold vertical pupils on its chest also rotated rapidly, clearly preparing to continue to activate the power of the Unthought Source Burial and further invade along the already damaged manifestation traces of the Gongpiluo Huang.
Gongpiluo Huang slowly lowered its front paws. Its left eye, the Beginningless Abyss, and its right eye, the Endless Ancient Rhyme, flowed simultaneously. A gray-white dot gently rotated in front of its brow. The twelve beastly auras that had not yet truly manifested gradually converged, and the primordial aura of the entire world became even heavier. It did not speak again, but simply stared quietly at the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion.
In the distance, the ferocious smile on the face of the colossal being gradually faded, and a deeper, more malevolent light appeared in its dark golden eyes. The aura between the two ancient beings slowly rose once more.
Meanwhile, within the dilapidated array below, Shangguan Wan'er and Elder White Brow had already sensed the change in the battle situation. The terrifying pressure that had always enveloped the entire Blue-Gray Mountain Plain had now shown a very brief relaxation.
Gongpiluo Huang's gaze was now completely fixed on the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion, and the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion also focused all his attention on the crimson-black scar on Gongpiluo Huang's forehead. The ancient origins of the two were drawn together, and the causal patterns of a large area of the surrounding world were drawn into the intersection of the two forces.
The tens of thousands of divine beasts that were originally entrenched around the outer perimeter of the Shangguan Lineage's grand formation were momentarily slowed down due to the brief gathering of Gongpiluo Huang's divine sense.
Elder White Brow suddenly looked up, a glint of light flashing in his aged eyes. He slowly turned to Shangguan Wan'er, his gaze sweeping quickly along the huge rift in the northwest, before looking at the thousands of surviving clansmen behind him who had already been integrated. His tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly.
"Wan'er..." His voice was extremely low.
Shangguan Wan'er immediately turned her head, her usually cold eyes filled with tension. Elder White Brow didn't explain further, but slowly raised his right hand, the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell in his palm gently vibrating. The dark golden bell screen that originally covered the entire array began to converge towards the center.
Nine Primordial Dao patterns spun rapidly along the bell wall, forming an extremely thick river of dark golden light. At this moment, the surviving elders also quietly activated their respective Primordial Dao Supreme Treasures, converging the defensive light screens that were originally scattered in all directions towards the center.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood his meaning. She slowly raised her palms, and the Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring spun rapidly along the top of her head, with nine layers of purple and white light wheels extending outwards, and extremely fine spatial patterns appearing between the light wheels.
Several surviving elders also raised their hands, and an ancient spatial Dao seal appeared in each of their palms. A soft purple-white glow gradually appeared inside the originally broken formation, and thousands of surviving disciples were slowly enveloped by this glow. The originally scattered ranks were quickly gathered together under the leadership of several deacons.
Elder White Brow suddenly looked up, gazing at the two ancient beings in the sky who had completely focused their attention on each other. His aged face suddenly became resolute.
"Now's the time! Hurry! Hurry!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er immediately clasped her hands together, Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring suddenly emitted nine layers of purple and white light. Several surviving elders simultaneously activated the spatial Dao Seal, and the dark golden bell curtain that originally covered the great formation suddenly contracted inward, transforming into a huge spatial light pillar that spanned tens of thousands of feet.
Layers of interwoven primordial patterns emerged within the pillar of light, and the figures of thousands of surviving clansmen quickly blurred. The dilapidated mountain plains, which had been trapped by the gray-white giant umbrella, finally revealed a spatial passage leading to the depths of the northwest rift valley.
Buzz! The nine purple and white light wheels rotated simultaneously.
The figures of thousands of Shangguan Lineage disciples disappeared one after another. The originally densely packed formation quickly became empty, with large areas of broken divine weapons and shattered array patterns left behind. Hundreds of disciples were the first to pass through the spatial passage, followed by thousands more clansmen who were escorted away by the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell.
Several elders guarded the perimeter of the spatial passage, desperately activating their own Eternal Silence Origin to protect the disciples whose Fate Souls were most severely injured in the center. Cold sweat dripped down Shangguan Wan'er's forehead, her old chest wound was aggravated again, and blood slowly seeped from her lips, but she still held on tightly to the Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring, her clear voice filled with undisguised urgency.
"Quickly! Everyone, enter the spatial passage immediately! Don't look back!"
Elder White Brow stood at the very back, with the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell suspended above his head. The dark golden bell curtain extended along the spatial passage, firmly protecting the remaining clansmen. Originally, the group of several thousand people had already successfully passed through the spatial passage, and the remaining hundreds of disciples, dozens of deacons, and elders were also rapidly evacuating. It seemed that the entire group was about to completely leave this Blue-Gray Mountain Plain.
However, just as the last group of clansmen was about to enter the spatial passage, the dark golden eyes of the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion high in the sky suddenly twitched slightly. Its gaze, which had been fixed on the wound on Gongpiluo Huang's forehead, suddenly swept downwards in that instant.
When it saw that most of the thousands of Shangguan Lineage members who were originally trapped in the broken formation had escaped using spatial magic, the smile on its pale bone face vanished abruptly, and the violence deep within its dark golden eyes surged instantly.
"Huh?!" It suddenly turned its head, its six tattered bone wings flapping simultaneously. "Trying to escape?!"
A deep and violent roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion slowly raised his right hand, his six slender fingers covered with broken bone armor spread downwards, and his gray-gold bone pupils in his palm suddenly opened. An extremely fine crimson-black bone pattern rapidly extended along the void, directly falling towards the spatial passage that was constantly closing.
"Space-Causality Severed Path!"
With a hiss, the crimson-black skeletal pattern did not bombard the outer wall of the spatial passage, nor did it directly tear apart the purple-white light wheel. Instead, it rapidly spread along the spatial Dao patterns inside the passage, directly slashing at the causal connection upon which the spatial teleportation relied.
The spatial passage that had already connected the Northwest Rift Valley suddenly trembled, and tens of thousands of fine lines inside the passage broke one after another, forcibly severing the originally complete spatial connection into several segments. The purple and white light pillars vibrated violently in the sky, and ear-piercing cracking sounds came one after another from between the nine light wheels.
Snap! Snap! Snap--! Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly turned deathly pale. "Oh no!!"
She abruptly activated the Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring, attempting to stabilize the spatial passage once more. However, the crimson-black skeletal pattern had already spread rapidly along the teleportation root, severing the originally intact spatial laws one after another. Several elders who were maintaining the passage were simultaneously struck by the backlash, their chests trembling violently as they spat out mouthfuls of blood. The Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion suddenly swung down his right arm.
Boom!! A crimson- Black Bone blade, spanning tens of thousands of feet, suddenly slashed down.
The sharp edge of the bone blade swept swiftly across the back of the spatial passage. Dozens of Shangguan Lineage and elders who had not yet fully entered the passage were pierced directly by the terrifying ancient prison source before they could even let out a complete scream. Their physical bodies and Fate Souls collapsed simultaneously in the crimson-black blade light, and large amounts of blood sprayed out along the shattered void.
Several elders of the Eternal Silence Realm desperately activated their Innate Martial Souls in an attempt to resist the bone blade, but they shattered one after another the moment the blade touched them. Their Fate Soul essence was forcibly torn apart by the crimson-black bone patterns, and their entire bodies quickly dissipated into the void.
"Elder!!" Several disciples who had already entered the spatial passage turned around and saw this scene, and immediately let out a heart-wrenching cry of alarm.
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly looked up, her usually cold eyes flashing with intense grief and indignation. "Stop!!"
Ignoring the severe damage to her own Fate Soul, she suddenly activated the Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring. The nine layers of purple and white light wheels simultaneously unfolded outward, forming a huge Purple Celestial Light Curtain that spanned the spatial passage, attempting to protect the remaining clansmen behind her.
However, the crimson- Black Bone blade of the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion had already penetrated deep along the spatial roots. The Purple Chen Light Curtain had just condensed when it was shaken by the violent ancient prison origin within it, causing it to shatter one after another.
Bang!! Shangguan Wan'er was suddenly sent flying backward, her old chest wound completely erupted, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her lips. The nine layers of purple and white light that originally surrounded her dimmed one after another, and several fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Purple Firmament Primordial Life-Protecting Ring.
Her body tumbled and rolled in the shattered space. If a deacon hadn't desperately held her up, she would have been swept into the collapsing spatial rift.
Upon seeing this, Elder White Brow's aged face suddenly contorted with rage. "Wan'er!!"
He suddenly swung his bronze staff, causing the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell to swell dramatically. The dark golden bell curtain extended wildly along the spatial passage, and nine Primordial Dao patterns lit up simultaneously, attempting to forcibly block the crimson- Black Bone blade behind the last group of clansmen.
Clang! The ancient bell clashed violently with the crimson- Black Bone blade.
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell Star Core deep within the bell vibrated violently, and the nine Primordial Dao Patterns shattered one after another. Elder White Brow Bai Mei's chest shuddered violently, and his already damaged Fate Soul essence was once again subjected to a terrifying impact, sending him flying tens of thousands of feet backward.
Blood gushed from his aged face, and his right arm, which was gripping the bronze staff, was also cracked in the impact. However, even as he was sent flying backward, Elder White Brow still desperately urged the last wisp of Eternal Silence Origin to forcefully push the Nine Mysteries Primordial Origin-Suppressing Bell forward.
"Walk!!"
Boom! The dark golden bell curtain suddenly contracted, and the last batch of Shangguan Lineage disciples who had not yet fully entered the spatial passage were forcibly enveloped by a thick Hongmeng Origin, shooting rapidly towards the depths of the northwest rift valley along the already shattered spatial passage. At this moment, several surviving elders also desperately activated the spatial Dao Seal to forcibly connect the remaining teleportation patterns. The originally broken spatial passage finally completed its final teleportation before completely collapsing.
Buzz! The purple and white light suddenly dissipated.
The dilapidated formation that had once gathered thousands of members of the Shangguan Lineage was now completely empty. Only a large number of broken array patterns, shattered primordial divine weapons, and the lingering remnants of the Fate Souls of dozens of deacons and elders who had fallen were left, floating quietly in the broken void.
