Ling Tian Sword God

Above the abyss.

Under the cover of the Sky-Blocking Formation, a myriad of colorful lights seemed to weave a web, concealing the entire sky.

Beneath this Great Formation, it was divided into numerous smaller array formations, each with several, even dozens of figures grouped together, struggling to hold on.

Originally, there were hundreds of masters here, but now, only a scattered few dozen remained.

Even the once invincible Princess Mingzhu and Elder Len, leaders of the super sects, were now in dire straits, increasingly embarrassed under the pressure of the powerful Emperor Qinling.

They could only rely on the treasures of their respective sects to temporarily withstand Emperor Qinling’s thunderous tactics, otherwise, they’d have long become like the others, nothing but bones.

In the area of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao group, most of the people were injured, their conditions poor, even those Elders had withered looks, clearly from excessive energy depletion and lack of rest.

Elder Len exerted all her strength to manipulate the array disk in her hand, setting up a profound Zhou Tian Mysterious Array, barely contending with Emperor Qinling’s formation.

However, as time passed, the light of the formation grew dimmer and dimmer, clearly showing signs of being unable to sustain itself.

Pfft!

The formation quaked, and Elder Len spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly severely injured.

"Elder Len!"

The nearby Xuannv hurriedly supported Elder Len, her face full of worry.

"I’m fine."

Elder Len quickly swallowed a Healing Pill, her complexion slightly improving, yet her brows remained tightly furrowed. If they couldn’t break free of their current predicament, it seemed that none of them would leave alive today.

But these words, she could not speak aloud.

"We really can’t see any hope."

Xuannv’s gaze turned to the direction in mid-air, which was sealed so tightly that there wasn’t even a slight gap.

"Xuan’er, rest assured, no matter what, I’ll risk this life to get you out of here."

Elder Len looked at Xuannv; the latter was the most cherished talent of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao. It didn’t matter if everyone else here perished, but the latter could not be harmed.

"Must we really reach that point?"

Xuannv furrowed her delicate brows; had they truly reached a dead end?

At this moment, in the nearby region, the people of Lingyue Island were likewise trapped in an array, their situation no better than that of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao.

"Why haven’t Ling Chen and the others come up yet? Did something happen to them?"

Spiritual Heart Saint glanced at the abyss below, but saw no sign of them, causing her to frown.

"Although Emperor Qinling’s previous strike was powerful, it shouldn’t have threatened Ling Chen and his team. Besides, Ling Chen’s friend, Xia Yunxin, went down, didn’t she? With her strength, there shouldn’t be any problem."

Shen Bingxin shook her head; though she was also concerned for Ling Chen’s safety, everyone was now struggling to protect themselves. If they couldn’t find a way to break this Sky-Blocking Formation, all present could die here, who could escape?

"The game with the ants should come to an end."

At this moment, Emperor Qinling, seated on his throne, suddenly straightened up, a cruel and charming smile curling at his lips. With a wave of his massive hand, a terrifying surge of energy erupted from the throne, causing the Sky-Blocking Formation overhead to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a massive balloon rapidly contracting its space.

Suddenly, everyone felt a fierce sense of impending doom; Emperor Qinling intended to capture them all at once!

Boom boom boom!

The masters from the major sects certainly wouldn’t be suppressed so easily. They used all their might to frantically attack the formation, but their assaults achieved nothing, being negligible against the formation.

Emperor Qinling watched all this with a smile; this scene was already within his expectations. Managing to toy with these people was not because of his overwhelming strength—for he now had only a tenth of his peak power—but because he could control such a powerful formation thanks to the Emperor’s Tomb.

Within this Emperor’s Tomb, he was no different from his peak period. Here, he was the master of all things, the supreme.

"Ants, be shattered to pieces!"

Emperor Qinling’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold glint, and in the next moment, the speed of the formation’s contraction sharply increased. In the blink of an eye, several saints were shattered to pieces, their vital energy absorbed into the formation.

"It’s over!"

Whether Elder Len, Xuannv, Princess Mingzhu, Cyan-robed Sword Saint, or Saint Qian Yan, or Shen Bingxin, Spiritual Heart Saint, and the others from Lingyue Island, all felt despair. Were they all destined to perish here?

Yet at this moment, the whole space suddenly quaked violently, as an invisible ripple spread out from the abyss below, sweeping through the entire space and even extending beyond it, engulfing the entire Emperor’s Tomb.

"Hmm?"

Emperor Qinling’s expression subtly changed. Just as he frowned lightly, feeling dismissive, the rapidly contracting formation suddenly halted, then, to everyone’s astonishment, disintegrated and vanished into nothing!

"What?"

Emperor Qinling’s pupils shrank; then he looked down at the abyss in rage, "Someone tampered with the Emperor’s Tomb’s main switch? Impossible!"

There were very few who knew of the main control room in the Emperor’s Tomb, and even if someone stumbled upon it, it was protected by his personally arranged formation. Moreover, the main switch itself was half of the Emperor’s Seal!

Half of the Wood Emperor Order!

Even General Bai and Sword Saint lacked the ability to destroy the main switch!

Who, just who was it?

"Emperor Qinling, you are a dead man; life and death, reincarnation, is the will of heaven! Why do you let so many living beings resurrect you for your selfish desires?"

At this moment, a rebuking voice suddenly came from the abyss below, drawing many gazes. As the voice fell, a figure transformed into a sharp sword light, suddenly emerging from the abyss!

As the sword light dissipated, a slightly thin figure appeared in everyone’s view.

"Is it him?"

In the instant they recognized the figure, Xuannv’s face in the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao group suddenly showed a look of shock.
