A blue energy shot out at the speed of light from the translucent barrier and shrouded the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Blue Water Heaven who was the first to attack the barrier.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of water continued to ring in the air as the blue energy turned violent, turning into waves of energies that crushed the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A thunderously loud noise rang in the air as the waves of blue energy crushed the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had an expression of terror on his face at this moment. In just a blink of an eye, he exploded into a mist of blood. After his death, blue energy lingered in the air for a moment before it disappeared without a trace.
The dead peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial’s Spatial Ring and Celestial Weapon that were falling to the ground caused chills to run up everyone’s spines.
“What a terrifying Formation… It’s still so powerful even though it encompassed such a wide area.”
There were some peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials present who were knowledgeable about Formations. They could not help but gasp after witnessing the Formation’s power.
After witnessing the death of the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Blue Water Heaven, the others no longer dared to act recklessly no matter how much they wanted to leave. They regarded the barrier fearfully as though faced with a fearsome opponent.
At this time, the translucent barrier began to vanish out of sight. Despite that, the group of peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials did not dare to make a move. After all, they knew the Formation was only lying dormant. If someone made a move to leave again, he or she would definitely trigger the activation of the Formation again.
“This Formation… Is it possible that the reincarnated Celestial Emperor can control it according to his will?” Duan Ling Tian slightly raised his brow as he looked at Ling Jue Yun and sent him a Voice Transmission. “If such a Formation was set up in the secret realm in his past life, how are we going to grab the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits from him and escape?” He was also wary of the power of the Formation.
On the other hand, Ling Jue Yun seemed calm. “Don’t worry. The power of the Formation relies on his past life’s power since he created it in his past life. Although it’s still powerful, due to time, the Celestial Origin Energy has reduced tremendously and is only comparable to that of a Celestial King. Since he had boosted his Celestial Origin Energy with the profundity from the law of water, it’s extremely easy to kill a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Based on the strength of the Formation earlier, it’s highly likely that he doesn’t have full control of the Formation… If that peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Blue Water Heaven didn’t attack the Formation, it wouldn’t have attacked him. It was just an automated response from the barrier being attacked.”
Ling Jue Yun was from an ancient clan in the Divine Offering Land. Although Formations were not his forte, due to the influence from his family, he was still rather knowledgeable about Formations.
Duan Ling Tian was enlightened after listening to Ling Jue Yun’s words.
Ling Jue Yun continued to say, “In fact, if he had restricted the secret realm and only made it accessible to those weaker than Celestial Dukes in his past life, after he’s reincarnated, it’s impossible for him to have complete access to his past life’s strength contained in the secret realm. Although the profundity from the law of water that he had imbued in his Celestial Origin Energy did not vanish from the corrosion of time, he’s incapable of using it after his reincarnation.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He felt like the danger had been greatly reduced after listening to Ling Jue Yun’s words.
“Although he cannot directly use the Formations in the secret realm to attack us, he’ll still be able to control them to a certain degree. Therefore, we can’t let our guards down for even a second when we’re in the secret realm,” Ling Jue Yun said solemnly, “If I’m not mistaken, the Formations that he can use to affect us in the secret realm are all Illusory Formations.”
As soon as Ling Jue Yun’s finished speaking…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The blue energy appeared again and turned into a beam of light shining up to the sky. A vague silhouette of a person could be seen in the center of the beam of light. Soon enough, everyone saw a young man with a medium build. His appearance was rather ordinary, but his eyes were gentle and limpid like water. His eyes were the only noteworthy thing about his appearance.
Upon seeing this, some of the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials’ expressions turned grim. They narrowed their eyes as they stared at the person who had invited them to this place.
“It’s him!”
“He’s finally here!”
“He’s the one that tricked us here!”
“That’s him?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Ling Jue Yun. After all, he knew Ling Jue Yun had met this young man before.
“Yes.” Ling Jue Yun nodded. A cold light flashed briefly in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the blue-clad young man.
Meanwhile, just like everyone else, Murong Xiao Xiao was looking at the blue-clad young man with a frosty expression on her face. Based on the current situation, it was obvious the blue-clad young man had tricked them and lured them here using the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor. There was no doubt he had an ulterior motive for gathering them here.
“Greetings, my name is Jiang Lan.” The blue-clad young man smiled faintly. When he stepped out of the range of the beam of light, the beam of light vanished without a trace immediately.
‘A Transporting Formation?’ Duan Ling Tian suspected the beam of light was a Transporting Formation based on how Jiang Lan had suddenly appeared.
Indeed, Duan Ling Tian had guessed correctly.
A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Aurora Heaven looked at Jiang Lan with an unsightly expression on his face as he boldly asked, “Why did you trick us here?”
The faint smile on Jiang Lan’s face did not disappear as he said, “Did I not explain everything when I extended my invitation to you? I invited all of you here to explore the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor.”
“Is it necessary to invite so many people to explore the secret realm?” a peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial from the Green Profound Heaven asked.
“Hm?” Before Jiang Lan could reply, he suddenly looked up at the sky. A sinister smile could be seen on his face as his eyes narrowed.
Curious as to what had caught Jiang Lan’s attention, the 11,000 peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, including Duan Ling Tian, followed his gaze.
However, there was nothing unusual in the sky, causing Duan Ling Tian and the others to feel puzzled.
‘What’s he looking at?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly as his eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
Suddenly, high above the clouds, it seemed like a dozen swords were slashing and dispersing the clouds, revealing the dark sky behind them.
“Are there more people coming?” Although Duan Ling Tian could not see what was slashing and dispersing the clouds, he speculated there must be a group of people stronger than them coming their way since he could not see them at all.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a dozen figures appeared one after another, hovering in the sky. It was only at this moment that Duan Ling Tian and the others could see these people clearly. The dozen people were a mix of old men, old ladies, middle-aged men, beautiful women, and young men.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon after, another dozen figures appeared and lined up behind the first group of people. It did not stop here. More and more people began to appear. In a matter of minutes, roughly more than 500 figures could be seen hovering in the sky.
At this moment, a young man dressed in fine robes stepped forward among the new crowd of people. He smirked coldly as he asked, “You’re Jiang Lan, right? My master is here with me now. It’s best you tell the truth and tell me why you tricked me here…”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow. Based on the young man’s words, out of the 500 powerhouses who had just appeared, one of them was his master. The others must be elders from the faction the young man belonged to. He must have already brought reinforcements to the Equal Heaven Territory’s Yan Mansion Mountain in the Jade Emperor Heaven in preparation for any mishap that might arise.
“Your master?” The sinister smile on Jiang Lan’s face deepened as he looked at the finely-dressed young man. “If I’m not mistaken, I reminded you not to tell anyone about the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor when I invited you, right?”
