Five Void Refining Cultivators stepped forward, bravely engaging in a fierce battle with the nine Yin Fiend Dragons.
Their figures were agile, and their magical power was boundless; however, apart from the Cultivators fighting the demonic dragons, everyone else strictly followed Array Master Ke's instructions, standing firmly in their respective positions within the massive Formation, tacitly beginning to set up the "Yin and Yang Reversal Array within a Formation."
As everyone worked together to activate it, the "Yin and Yang Reversal Array within a Formation" gradually revealed its mysterious and powerful outline.
The moment the Formation was activated, the entire Great Formation seemed to be infused with life, beginning to fluctuate violently.
A surging force of pure Yang Qi gushed out from the heart of the Formation, like the rising sun, slowly ascending into the air.
This pure Yang Qi formed a stark contrast with the surrounding Yin Fiend Qi, intertwining and clashing, as if drawing a clear boundary in the air.
Within this boundary, the Yang Qi and Yin Fiend Qi continuously collided and canceled each other out, eventually reaching a subtle balance in this area, forming a unique small world isolated from the outside.
The originally fierce offensive of the nine Yin Fiend Dragons suddenly stalled at this moment.
They seemed to sense this new power, a power that made even them feel fear.
Under the deterrence of this power, the nine demonic dragons stopped their attacks, hesitating, as if re-evaluating the current situation.
Seizing this opportunity, the five Void Refining Cultivators immediately retreated to Array Master Ke's side, their faces showing deep respect.
"Array Master Ke, did we succeed?" Bian Chongzong looked at Array Master Ke, unable to help but ask excitedly, his voice carrying a hint of unconcealed excitement and anticipation.
Array Master Ke did not answer immediately, his deep eyes fixed on the distant nine Yin Fiend Dragons and the clash of forces between the two Formations, evaluating the situation of the array.
At this time, although the Yin and Yang Reversal Array had taken effect, the Yin Fiend Qi was still extremely strong.
"It's not certain yet," Array Master Ke slowly said, his voice revealing deep caution, indicating, "Through the power of the Yin and Yang Reversal Array, we have achieved extreme Yin generating Yang; however, this array utilizes the terrain, and the Yin Fiend Qi is almost inexhaustible.
If we still cannot break this array when the reversal of Yin to Yang reaches a certain level, then we may face an even greater crisis."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled, understanding that Array Master Ke's worries were not unfounded.
Although the Yin and Yang Reversal Array was powerful, it also had its limits.
If the Yin Fiend Qi was too strong, the Formation might be forcibly broken through, and at that time, all of them would fall into a state of eternal damnation.
"Then what should we do now?" Bian Chongzong couldn't help but press, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
"Let's wait and see!
Next, leave it to time!" Array Master Ke glanced at Bian Chongzong, signaling everyone to remain calm.
As time passed, the struggle between the pure Yang Qi and Yin Fiend Qi in the Yin and Yang Reversal Array became more intense, and the energy fluctuations within the array grew more violent, as if an earth-shattering explosion could occur at any moment.
The nine Yin Fiend Dragons within the array also seemed to perceive the changes, becoming restless; however, under the deterrence of the pure Yang Qi, they did not dare to easily launch an attack, merely lingering outside the array, observing.
On the other side of the Formation, Qian Wantong hurriedly found Li Mu, who was studying the Formation Restriction, feeling extremely nervous about the current situation.
"Master Li, quickly go and see, they are breaking the array, and the Great Formation's situation has changed!" Qian Wantong's voice trembled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu put down what he was doing and quickly followed Qian Wantong to the edge of the Formation.
He saw that within the vast Yin Fiend Qi of the Great Formation, a pure Yang Qi had appeared, and the two forces were clashing fiercely.
The vast Yin Fiend Qi and the emerging pure Yang Qi were engaged in an intense confrontation, with energy fluctuations like a violent ocean, surging and extremely fierce.
Li Mu frowned tightly, his Divine Sense sweeping through the array, immediately understanding what was happening, his gaze fixed on the nine restless Yin Fiend Dragons.
Wan Shaoming walked over with a solemn expression.
He looked at Li Mu and asked with concern, "Master Li, what did they do?
Why have the attacks of the nine Nine Heavens Yin Fiend Dragons in the array stopped?"
"Amazing!
The opponent has a very powerful Formation Great Master; they actually set up an array within the array, attempting to reverse Yin and Yang, breaking the array with an array!" A hint of admiration flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he praised sincerely.
"Then what should we do!
If the Formation is broken by them, then next, we will definitely have to fight them to decide a winner, and we won't have time to explore the Secret Realm!" Qian Wantong couldn't help but grow anxious, asking with concern.
"Commander Qian, no need to worry.
If this array had no master, their method of breaking an array with an array might succeed, but now!" Li Mu smiled slightly, forming a Formation hand seal, muttering incantations, then pointed his finger, and a powerful spiritual force merged into the Great Formation.
"How can the power of the array be so easily borrowed?
Since they want to reverse Yin and Yang, then we will cut off the opponent's array power, and not let them succeed." Li Mu's mouth curled into a cold sneer, his Formation hand seals changing continuously, fully controlling the Formation.
The next moment, the Formation of the Nine Dragons Immortal Slaughtering Formation changed accordingly, and the Yin Fiend Qi no longer permeated the entire array, instead rushing madly into the nine black vortices.
As the Great Formation changed, the Yin Qi absorbed by the Yin and Yang Reversal Array rapidly decreased, and the speed of the released pure Yang Qi plummeted.
However, as the gravitational force absorbed by the nine black vortices was added to the nine Yin Fiend Dragons, their bodies grew at a visible speed.
One falling, one rising, the situation reversed again.
"Array Master Ke, what's going on?
Why is the power of the Yang array rapidly weakening!" Bian Chongzong asked in astonishment.
"Yes!
Why is the power of the nine Yin Fiend Dragons rapidly increasing?"
...
The Cultivators all changed their expressions as they watched the rapid changes in the Great Formation, looking at Array Master Ke for a solution.
"Quick, run!" Array Master Ke's face was pale, and he said anxiously, "The opponent's Formation Great Master is controlling the Great Formation.
He cleverly cut off the Yang array's absorption of Yin Fiend Qi, instead transforming this Yin Fiend Qi into the powerful energy of the nine Yin Fiend Dragons.
This change in power is extremely unfavorable to us; we must retreat immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Before his words finished, Array Master Ke's figure flashed, and he was the first to withdraw from the array and flee.
His figure flashed at the edge of the Formation and disappeared, clearly using all his strength to escape.
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed.
They had thought their side had gained the upper hand, but they hadn't expected the opponent to have such an ingenious Formation Great Master secretly controlling things.
At this moment, no one dared to hesitate for a moment, and they all followed closely in Array Master Ke's footsteps, wanting to escape this dangerous place.
However, how could Li Mu let them have their way?
He snorted coldly and rapidly changed his Formation hand seals.
Under his guidance, the Nine Dragons Immortal Slaughtering Formation changed again, and the nine black vortices seemed to be infused with endless power, instantly erupting with dense Yin Fiend Qi.
This Yin Fiend Qi gushed out from the vortices like a black torrent, rapidly permeating the entire Great Formation, forming a gloomy and terrifying scene.
Amidst the swirling Yin mist, the nine Yin Fiend Dragons quietly hid in the shadows, emitting low Dragon roars that seemed to come from the depths of Hell, making one's hair stand on end.
The nine Yin Fiend Dragons were faintly visible in the Yin mist, occasionally waving their huge claws, tearing the air, and sometimes swinging their long tails with overwhelming force, blocking the escape routes of the Cultivators one by one.
Facing such a perilous situation, everyone was terrified.
They tried their best to break through, but each time they were blocked by the Yin Fiend Dragons and the dense Yin mist.
At the brink of life and death, everyone displayed astonishing potential and wisdom, but unfortunately, the opponent's Formation Great Master was too ingenious, and the power of the Nine Dragons Immortal Slaughtering Formation was too strong.
They could only struggle painfully within the Great Formation.
For a time, within the Great Formation, the sounds of battle shook the heavens, and screams occasionally echoed, this battle had already evolved into a struggle between life and death, everyone was fighting desperately to survive.
Outside the Great Formation, the atmosphere was tense and murderous.
A group of Soul Transformation Cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators gathered here, their gazes fixed on the inside of the Great Formation.
The Seniors and commanders who were struggling painfully in the array made them all turn pale, their hearts filled with terror and unease.
However, amidst this chaos and fear, there was a group of people who appeared exceptionally calm; they watched coldly, as if none of this concerned them.
The leader of this group was a Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in blood-colored robes.
He was surrounded by a group of Soul Transformation Cultivators at some unknown time, his unique attire and dignified demeanor making him stand out in the crowd.
His eyes were blood-red, his gaze deep and cold, filled with a brutal Aura.
Hongshan coldly watched the Cultivators struggling to their deaths in the Great Formation, a hint of brutality appearing on his face, mocking, "Idiots are idiots!
Setting up an array within someone else's array to break it, how can it be that simple, wasting my time!"
Hongshan's words were cold and cruel, like a sharp knife, piercing directly into people's hearts.
Upon hearing this, some Soul Transformation Cultivators loyal to Commander Bian immediately became enraged; they could not tolerate such insulting words towards Commander Bian.
"How dare you!
Commander Bian is breaking the array inside, how dare you be so presumptuous!" A Soul Transformation Cultivator roared, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Dare to be so rude, you're courting death!" Another Soul Transformation Cultivator angrily echoed, powerful magical power fluctuations already condensed in his hand, as if ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Who are you!
How dare you speak so wildly here!" Yet another Soul Transformation Cultivator stepped out and questioned, his voice filled with doubt and vigilance.
...
The Cultivators looked at Hongshan and the Aura emanating from the dozens of Cultivators behind him, and immediately felt a sense of danger, their expressions becoming uneasy.
"A bunch of ants dare to question me!
All of you die!" A cold light flashed in Hongshan's blood-red eyes, and he instantly shed the disguise of his Nascent Soul Aura.
The powerful Aura of the Combined Body Realm burst forth completely, like a long-suppressed volcano.
This power surged, like a violent torrent sweeping in, making the surrounding air seem to solidify under its might.
The Cultivators only felt their hearts tighten, an indescribable sense of oppression assailing them, as if a majestic mountain was pressing heavily on their chests, making even their most basic breathing extremely difficult.
They stared at Hongshan in horror, their eyes filled with deep despair.
In the horrified gazes of the crowd, Hongshan waved his large hand, and a sharp blood blade instantly slashed out.
This blood blade shone with a cold light, striking towards the Cultivators with lightning speed.
At this critical moment of life and death, the Cultivators could not dodge at all, only watching helplessly as the blood blade approached.
With a soft "Puchi" sound, the bodies of fifty-odd Cultivators were instantly cut in half by the sharpness of the blood blade.
Then came the sounds of "Pa, pa, pa," as one body after another fell limply to the ground, blood forming small streams, then converging into a river, staining the entire ground red.
However, what was shocking was that the blood on the ground seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, slowly converging towards Hongshan.
Finally, this blood transformed into a dense blood cloud, which merged into Hongshan's body in the blink of an eye.
"A Combined Body Realm Blood Cultivator!" A Cultivator screamed in terror, his voice filled with despair.
"Where did this Combined Body Demonic Cultivator come from!" Another Soul Transformation Cultivator couldn't accept the reality before him, exclaiming in shock.
"It's over!
We're really finished this time!" A Nascent Soul cultivator's face was ashen, muttering in disbelief.
"This old Daoist is completely finished now!" Yet another Soul Transformation old Daoist muttered in despair, having already lost the will to resist and escape.
...
The remaining thirty-odd surviving Cultivators were all terrified, their Souls Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, at such a horrifying scene.
Their faces were pale, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness, as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.
These Nascent Soul cultivators and Soul Transformation Cultivators, who usually thought highly of themselves, now appeared so small and powerless before Hongshan.
They wanted to escape this terrifying place, but the entire passage was blocked by the absolute array, and the other side was the fatal threat of the Combined Body Realm Demonic Cultivator Hongshan.
They had no way to ascend to the Heavens, no door to enter the Earth, and collectively fell into a desperate situation.
And Hongshan, after greedily absorbing the blood into his body, slowly spread his hands, a satisfied and extremely cruel smile appearing on his face.
He was deeply immersed in the feeling of controlling life and death, like a high and mighty judge, looking down at the trembling beings at his feet.
Looking at the terrified and helpless eyes of the remaining Cultivators, Hongshan's cruel desire and twisted pleasure reached an unprecedented peak.
"A bunch of lambs to be slaughtered, dare to question me?" Hongshan's gaze swept coldly over the Cultivators, a cruel and playful smile appearing on his face, like the north wind in winter, cold and biting, like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing into people's hearts.
In the face of this sharp gaze and mocking smile, no Cultivator dared to respond.
Endless fear rendered them motionless, able only to await the final judgment of fate.
At this moment, they truly experienced what true despair and helplessness were, that chill rising from the bottom of their hearts making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Hongshan's eyes were full of disdain and contempt, and with a wave of his large hand, a blood-colored light slashed out again.
The blood light was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, carrying a sharp Killing Intent, instantly cutting through the silent air.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
As the blood light passed, heads instantly flew up, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the entire passage red.
At this point, there were no more survivors in the passage.
Hongshan, having enjoyed the pleasure brought by a bloody slaughter, stared at the Great Formation with blood-red eyes.
The Divine Thought of a Combined Body Realm expert was fully unleashed, attempting to penetrate the Nine Dragons Immortal Slaughtering Formation and pinpoint the Formation Master hidden behind and controlling this Great Formation.
