351: Chapter 351 The true intentions are revealed, the grand formation is activated!

The entire Divine Flame Mountain—shook.

It wasn't a spiritual energy fluctuation.

It wasn't a Spell attack.

The entire mountain—was shaking.

On the martial stage, Zhao Tian and Xiao Tianyan both lost their balance, staggering back a few steps.

Over ten thousand Cultivators looked around in terror.

"What's going on?!"

"An earthquake?!"

"No—it's not an earthquake—it's the Leyline!"

An old Cultivator at the Body Integration Stage was the first to sense the anomaly.

His expression changed drastically.

"The Leyline is running wild!"

"Rumble—!"

The tremors grew more and more violent.

Cracks began to appear on the ground of the entire venue.

The cracks spread up from deep underground, sprawling like a spiderweb to every corner.

From within the cracks—dark red light surged out.

That light was scorching and intense, carrying an ancient, primal desolate power.

The power of the Dragon Vein.

The power of the Dragon Vein, forcibly detonated from deep underground, rushed to the surface along the cracks.

But that wasn't the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying part was—

The four directions of the venue—East, South, West, and North—lit up simultaneously.

Four dark red pillars of light shot up into the sky from underground.

The position of each pillar precisely corresponded to where the members of the Four Directions Dragon Court were located.

East—Earth Collapse.

West—Black Armor's Clone.

South—Red Ember.

North—Mo Yuan.

The four pillars of light shot into mid-air and then—curved.

Like four dark red giant dragons, they circled, intertwined, and converged in the sky.

Then—

A massive Formation emerged from the sky.

Dark red Formation runes covered the firmament.

The range of the Formation runes—ten miles in radius.

It just happened to cover the entire venue of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly.

A—cage.

The moment the Formation runes took shape in the sky, a layer of dark red light screen descended from the firmament, like an inverted giant pot, and the entire venue—

Was sealed tight.

Over ten thousand Cultivators—all were trapped inside.

Panic erupted in an instant.

"Sealed! The sky has been sealed!"

"We can't get out! Spiritual energy gets swallowed the moment it touches the light screen!"

"What kind of Formation is this?! Who set this up?!"

Countless Cultivators rushed toward the light screen, attempting to break through the seal.

A Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage struck the light screen with a full-power blow.

"Bang."

The spiritual energy—was swallowed.

It wasn't bounced back.

It wasn't neutralized.

It was directly absorbed.

The light screen brightened slightly at the point of impact, then returned to calm.

That Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator was sent flying ten Zhang by the power of the backlash, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

"Dragon Vein power—this Formation uses the Dragon Vein as its Foundation!"

A Tribulation Transcendence Stage Elder shouted in horror.

"The Dragon Vein stretches for ten thousand miles—this Formation has almost infinite energy! It can't be broken by brute force alone!"

Panic turned into despair.

Over ten thousand Cultivators were trapped in a giant cage with the Dragon Vein as its energy source.

They couldn't get out.

They couldn't break it.

It was a dead end.

Su Changge sat on his jade chair.

His body didn't move an inch.

The surrounding world was turning upside down.

The ground was cracking open.

The sky was burning.

Over ten thousand people were screaming.

But Su Changge—

Did not move.

It wasn't because he was calm.

It was because—

His legs were turning to jelly.

[It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over.]

[The Dragon Vein Detonation Array has started. The Four Directions Dragon Court's plan—has been fully launched.]

[A ten-mile seal—over ten thousand people trapped inside—]

[I'm also trapped inside!!!]

Su Changge's mind was a mess.

But on his face—

Not a single muscle twitched.

His Oscar-level acting was pushed to the extreme at this moment.

Ye Qingyao had already stood up from her seat.

Her hand gripped the hilt of her sword.

Mahayana Stage Spiritual Pressure surged from her body, forming a thick shield around Su Changge.

"Revered Master—"

"I know."

Su Changge's voice was as calm as stagnant water.

Ye Qingyao looked at Su Changge's face.

Revered Master's expression—didn't fluctuate at all.

It was as if even if the sky fell, it had nothing to do with him.

Ye Qingyao's heart—instead became steady.

Revered Master isn't panicking.

Then everything is fine.

Having followed Revered Master for so long, she had already formed an unbreakable belief—

As long as Revered Master doesn't panic, the sky won't fall.

On the high platform.

Xiao Huang stood up.

His face—was livid.

Spiritual Pressure at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage exploded from his body like a furious fire dragon.

"Who—dares to, in this Hall Revered Master's territory—"

Xiao Huang hadn't finished his sentence.

A voice came from a corner of the VIP seats.

"Hall Revered Master Xiao, don't be in such a hurry."

Red Ember stood up.

His crimson-gold hair, reflected by the power of the Dragon Vein, was like a mass of burning fire.

The Heaven-Burning Fire Seed between his brows was throbbing.

Wings—

Unfurled from his back.

Two giant dragon wings.

Unextinguishable dragon fire burned on the wings.

Red Ember was no longer hiding.

The true face of the Blazing Flame Dragon Emperor—was fully exposed before over ten thousand people.

"You—"

Xiao Huang's pupils shrank violently.

"Blazing Flame Dragon Emperor—Red Ember?!"

Red Ember gave a slight bow.

His posture was so elegant he didn't look like a madman carrying out a massacre.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly truly lives up to its reputation."

Red Ember's voice echoed under the sealed light screen.

"Over ten thousand Cultivators gathered together—such a grand occasion—wouldn't it be a pity if it weren't utilized?"

He lightly traced his finger in the air.

The four dark red pillars of light grew even brighter.

The light screen of the entire cage thickened by a layer.

"From now on—"

The corners of Red Ember's mouth curled into an extremely crazed smile.

"—the rules of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly will be set by me."

The entire venue was in an uproar.

Panic, anger, despair—all sorts of emotions spread among the over ten thousand Cultivators.

Xiao Huang's fury had reached its Peak.

"Red Ember—you are seeking death!"

Xiao Huang's figure disappeared from where he stood.

In the next instant—

He appeared in front of Red Ember.

He struck down with his palm.

All the power of the Burning Heaven Dragon Dao was concentrated in this single palm strike.

A full-power blow from the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Power sufficient to destroy a medium-sized Sect.

Red Ember didn't dodge.

He didn't even move.

He just—smiled.

Xiao Huang's palm force landed on Red Ember.

"Boom—!"

A loud explosion.

Red Ember's body—shattered.

Like a mirror breaking.

Fragments drifted in the air.

Then—they re-aggregated.

Red Ember stood in his original spot, completely unharmed.

The smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

"Hall Revered Master Xiao."

Red Ember raised his hand and pointed at the dark red cage in the sky.

"In this Formation—I am connected to the Dragon Vein."

"As long as the Dragon Vein is not destroyed, I will not be destroyed."

"You can't kill me."

Xiao Huang's hand stopped in mid-air.

His face—turned from livid to deathly pale.

He realized one thing.

This Formation—wasn't just a cage.

It was also an augmentation Formation for Red Ember.

In this Formation, Red Ember effectively possessed the power of the entire Dragon Vein.

Xiao Huang, at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage—could not defeat the Dragon Vein.

Xiao Huang's hand slowly lowered.

Red Ember's gaze moved away from Xiao Huang.

He turned around.

He looked toward the VIP seats.

He looked at Su Changge.

Over ten thousand pairs of eyes—also followed Red Ember's gaze—and fell upon Su Changge.

The corners of Red Ember's mouth curved into an extremely dangerous arc.

"Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master."

Red Ember's voice carried the scorching heat of dragon fire.

"Just now outside the venue, you said—'Their path has already reached its end'."

Red Ember spread his arms.

The flames on his dragon wings unfurled behind him like a dark red sun.

"Then—"

"Red Ember would like to ask—"

"Inside this cage—"

Red Ember's smile became increasingly crazed.

"—whose path has reached its end?"

Su Changge sat on his jade chair.

Over ten thousand gazes fell upon him.

Some were expectant.

Some were fearful.

Some were pleading for hope in the midst of despair.

On Su Changge's face—

There was no expression whatsoever.

But in his mind—

There was only one thought.
