659: Chapter 659 A Near Miss, Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth

Unsure what methods that Black Iron Skeleton used to actually catch up?

Forced into the valley by the Black Iron Skeleton, he never emerged again; the pursuing Black Iron Skeleton released its Spirit Power but sensed nothing.

Did he just lose the trail in such a bizarre way?

Carrying this frustration, that Black Iron Skeleton could only return.

With this back and forth, the thousand-foot-tall Bronze Skeleton and the fifty-thousand-foot-long Earth Dragon within the Heavenly Secret Dragon-Trapping Grand Array were still in a life-and-death battle.

A long time passed.

At first, the Bronze Skeleton was suppressed, but as the essence of the Feng Shui Grand Array leaked out, the fifty-thousand-foot Earth Dragon's body began to shrink, its power growing increasingly weak.

Consequently, it was no longer a match for the Bronze Skeleton.

Buzz!

The Bronze Skeleton and the Earth Dragon fought fiercely, their violent power impacting the surroundings; the earth shook and mountains moved, trees shattered, and countless cracks spread across the sky above.

A thousand-foot-wide black hole swirled, and spatial fragments flew in all directions like sharp blades.

"Vile creature, die!"

With a thunderous roar, the pitch-black staff in its hand expanded rapidly, resembling a pillar that propped up the heavens, and smashed down violently toward the massive dragon head.

The dragon horns pointed toward the sky like knives, carrying a fierce and majestic aura, as it headbutted upward, resulting in a violent collision.

Roar...

The Earth Dragon let out a pained roar, and its mouth opened, as the hundred-foot-tall holy scripture turned into a streak of light and flew off into the distance.

As luck would have it, the direction the holy scripture headed was precisely toward the only flaw in the Heavenly Secret Dragon-Trapping Grand Array.

Whoosh!

The holy scripture streaked through the air like a bronze light; the Bronze Skeleton turned its head, no longer lingering in the fight, and chased after the holy scripture.

Meanwhile, the wailing Earth Dragon was sent flying a thousand feet away, its massive body crashing heavily against the Void Realm.

It looked like a mountain of flesh.

Roar...

The massive dragon head shook a few times, letting out a world-shaking roar that stirred the winds and clouds, bringing wind and rain as it chased after the Bronze Skeleton.

Whoosh!

Before long, the bronze light transformed from the holy scripture also reached the exit at the Formation's flaw.

Behind it, the thousand-foot Bronze Skeleton arrived at the crack in the array where the Golden-robed Man was located.

It happened to run into the other Black Iron Skeleton, who had returned empty-handed.

"Where is Zhuge Xuan?" the thousand-foot Bronze Skeleton asked.

"He escaped. Father, you should go look for him instead!"

"No, first chase the holy scripture to complete the Old Ancestor's mission. This Lower Plane is not simple. Once we get the holy scripture, we return to the Major Thousand Worlds immediately!"

The Bronze Skeleton said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Just as the Bronze Skeleton and the Black Iron Skeleton were about to leave the array, they were startled by a sound from the Golden-robed Man in the distance and turned their heads sharply.

"Break!"

The Golden-robed Man in the distance had a look of madness on his face as he shouted deeply, and the black array before him was suddenly withdrawn.

The two skeletons looked at each other, both seeing the strangeness in the other's eyes.

This person is acting so weirdly; better to ignore him.

Their figures flashed as they chased the holy scripture. The Golden-robed Man looked at the Disciples of the Blood River Holy Land in the distance, as well as the ruined city where the Array Emperor had previously been.

"Alright, first complete the Holy Lord's great task. Set up the Formation; we'll deal with them later!" the Golden-robed Man spoke.

"Yes!" the group of Blood River Holy Land Disciples immediately responded.

They quickly took their positions as previously rehearsed and began setting up the Formation. Inside the Heavenly Secret Dragon-Trapping Grand Array, the massive Earth Dragon's essence finally reached its breaking point.

Bang...

The fifty-thousand-foot Earth Dragon suddenly exploded in mid-air.

Yellow light blossomed, and countless experts fell in all directions like pouring rain, returning to their human forms.

Having flown all the way from the south and found Mr. Shenxiu on the north side, his face turned completely gloomy, knowing that this matter had become serious.

The Feng Shui Grand Array had completely lost its effect; better regroup with Xue Yiming first!

He continued to fly along the high wall, and as he passed a certain position...

Mr. Shenxiu and Xue Yiming met up, and at the same time, the two of them witnessed a terrifying scene.

Buzz!

A yellow light shot up into the sky, connecting the heavens above and the earth below, then emitted a pale yellow glow that stretched out like a city wall, connecting toward the cracks on both sides.

Boom... Boom...

Suddenly, two loud rumbles signaled the successful connection; the Heavenly Secret Dragon-Trapping Grand Array was now complete without any flaws, with all sixty-four positions in place.

"It's finally finished!"

The Golden-robed Man said excitedly, letting out a deep breath as a relaxed smile appeared on his handsome face.

Turning his head, the smile on the Golden-robed Man's face vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Holy Lord, Mr. Shenxiu, why are you here?"

Looking at the predatory expressions on Xue Yiming and Mr. Shenxiu's faces in confusion, the Golden-robed Man felt as if his heart had fallen into profound ice.

"Hmph!" Xue Yiming snorted coldly, not giving him another look.

An aura of killing intent emanated from him, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

"Mr. Shenxiu, this..." Xue Yiming looked at Mr. Shenxiu with a face full of hope.

Mr. Shenxiu shook his head and sighed: "The holy scripture has left the array, and the two skeletons are no longer within it. Moreover, the Earth Dragon essence inside the array has leaked out; we can no longer manifest the Earth Dragon!"

"In a moment, countless experts will wake up. We should withdraw quickly!"

Sigh...

Mr. Shenxiu looked somewhat dejected. Xue Yiming's eyes were filled with unwillingness; this time, the Blood River Holy Land had exhausted endless resources and paid such a heavy price.

And the result was...

Flicking his sleeve, Xue Yiming shot an extremely fierce glare at the Golden-robed Man.

"Withdraw the Formation..." Xue Yiming said with killing intent.

"Holy Lord, actually, this... it's not my fault, it's..." The Golden-robed Man knew he had caused a huge disaster and stammered an explanation, but there was no way to take it back.

Xue Yiming swept a cold gaze over the Golden-robed Man, suppressing his killing intent and anger: "We will talk back at the Holy Land!"

"Yes!"

The icy killing intent seemed capable of freezing the Soul, making his body tremble.

The experts of the Blood River Holy Land continuously withdrew. With the Earth Dragon essence gone, countless experts were scattered around, gradually waking up as they hit the ground.

Qin Mian woke up from his confusion and instinctively stood up instantly. Recalling the previous scenes, he gasped.

He immediately scouted the surroundings.

"Young Lord!" A Qin Family Disciple nearby flew over anxiously.

His eyes were filled with panic.

"Find the others!" Qin Mian ordered.

"Yes!" With the Young Lord's command, the panicked Disciple calmed down and began searching for the Qin Family Disciples.

More and more people woke up.

Wan Zhou and the others also woke up, and the five Dou Sheng experts glanced at each other without speaking.

"Young Lord, except for ten Disciples who are injured, the rest are able to move!"

The Qin Family Disciple said respectfully.

"Let's go!" Qin Mian led his people away.

The countless experts were in no mood for pleasantries; the memories of the previous events were like a nightmare. Seeing others leave, they vanished in an instant.

"Return to the dynasty!" Wan Zhou spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The officials of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty immediately responded.

Whoosh!

A bronze light streaked across the sky, leaving a trail like a flaming meteor, just as before.

Rumble!

With a super loud boom, the bronze sphere of light crashed down into a mountain peak, creating a two-hundred-foot-wide crater with flames rising around it.

It ignited the surrounding trees, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

Around the crater, cracks like long rivers spread into the distance.

Demonic Beasts that were originally foraging were startled and fled into the distance, letting out roars as they galloped away.

In the distance, the two figures pursuing were precisely those two skeleton experts.

"Father, the holy scripture has fallen ahead!" the Black Iron Skeleton said excitedly.

"Mm, once we get the holy scripture, we leave immediately!" the Bronze Skeleton said deeply.

Their speed surged as they flew toward the site of the crater.

In the valley, beside the crater!

A young man in a green robe slowly walked out of the forest and came to the edge of the holy scripture's crater, a hint of wickedness on his handsome and demonic face.

Blood God, Hun Tiandi!

"The holy scripture? A rare sacred object. Since it has descended upon the Fighting Qi Continent, it belongs to the Fighting Qi Continent. How can I let people from the Major Thousand Worlds take it away!"

Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, a look of fervent greed flashing in his eyes.

Although he didn't know how the Major Thousand Worlds defined the holy scripture, he had learned from the Mud Bodhisattva's mouth.

The holy scripture is ranked among the peerless sacred objects!

Snatching food from the tiger's mouth!

Hun Tiandi prepared to forcefully snatch the holy scripture from the hands of the two skeletons from the Land of Ten Thousand Graves in the Major Thousand Worlds!
