452: Chapter 452 Five Fiends Locking Yuan Formation

"Arrogant!"

Nangong Lie was furious. He hated this calm expression of Ye Tian's the most, as if everything was under his control. "You are at death's door, yet you still dare to be stubborn! Form the Formation! Lock him down for this old man!"

"Yes!"

The five Elders of the Nangong Family responded in unison, forming hand seals simultaneously.

"Five Evils Origin-Locking Formation, rise!"

Red, yellow, gold, cyan, and blue—five streams of Evil Qi surged into the sky from the five Elders, intertwining in the air and instantly merging into that transparent light barrier.

The light barrier suddenly displayed a mottled five-colored hue, and a wave of pressure permeated the area, completely sealing off the internal space.

More bizarrely, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the Formation was instantly drained.

Being inside, one could hardly feel the existence of Spiritual Qi.

"The Five Evils Origin-Locking Formation! One of the Nangong Family's town-protecting killing Formations!"

Someone knowledgeable exclaimed: "It can seal space and isolate Spiritual Qi. It is specially designed to trap and kill high-level Cultivators; it can even exhaust a person to death!"

"It's over. Although Ye Tian has achieved a Breakthrough to the Fifth Stage of Sea Transformation, he is trapped inside. His Chaos True Essence will eventually be exhausted. How can he fight?"

"The Nangong Family is determined to take his life!"

Inside the Formation, Ye Tian frowned slightly.

He tried to sense his surroundings, and indeed, the external Spiritual Qi was completely isolated. The Spiritual Qi within the Formation was so thin it could be ignored.

This meant he could not replenish his Chaos True Essence consumption from the outside and could only rely on his own reserves.

Meanwhile, the five opponents had their auras connected, merging into one through the Formation. The pressure they exerted on him had reached the level of the Peak of the Sixth Stage of Sea Transformation!

"Little beast, feel despair!"

Nangong Lie sneered. He did not enter the Formation but stood outside to preside over it. At this moment, he waved his large hand: "First, cripple his hands and feet!"

The five Elders received the order and moved simultaneously. The light of the Formation flowed, and five attacks with different characteristics struck toward Ye Tian from five directions!

Ye Tian's eyes narrowed. The sword was unsheathed, and the Second Stage Chaos Thunder Gang instantly covered the blade as his figure flashed rapidly.

"Bang!"

An explosive sound rang out.

Ye Tian slashed away the gold and red attacks and dodged the blue one, but was grazed on his left leg by the green Evil Qi, causing his movements to stall. Immediately after, the yellow Evil Qi transformed into a fist imprint, slamming into the sword he had hurriedly used to defend.

"Boom!"

Ye Tian's body shook, and he slid back several steps, his internal Qi and blood churning.

Not only was the power of this Formation's attacks cumulative, but it also carried various negative effects that were impossible to guard against.

Furthermore, with every clash, he could feel his Chaos True Essence consuming rapidly, while the light of the Formation merely rippled slightly.

"Haha, how does it taste?"

Nangong Lie laughed wildly from the outside: "This is just an appetizer! Continue! Drain him dry!"

The attacks came in waves, without pause.

The five Elders coordinated tacitly, using the power of the Formation to launch continuous attacks from different angles, forcing Ye Tian to constantly dodge and block, leaving him almost no chance to counterattack.

Even when he occasionally seized a sliver of an opening, the Thunder Gang Sword Qi slashed against the light barrier, only stirring up ripples. The barrier would shake but was far from shattering.

"This Formation is too hard!"

"Ye Tian seems to be completely suppressed!"

"The Chaos True Essence consumption is too fast; he won't last long at this rate!"

The people off the stage watched with trepidation.

The people from the Liuli Xuan Sect had their hearts in their throats.

Inside the Formation, Ye Tian's breathing gradually became heavy, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was indeed heavily suppressed.

This Five Evils Origin-Locking Formation not only trapped the enemy but could also continuously convert the power of the five Elders to attack.

He was like a beast trapped in a cage, possessing strength but unable to unleash it, all while having to constantly endure attacks and consume Chaos True Essence.

With one side growing and the other waning, the situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

"I cannot go on like this; I must break the Formation!"

Ye Tian's thoughts raced as he tried to find the weaknesses of the Formation.

While blocking, he carefully observed the energy flow of the light barrier.

However, this Formation had clearly been refined through countless trials, its energy flow perfectly integrated, making it difficult to find any obvious flaws in a short time.

"Little beast, out of energy?"

Nangong Lie saw that Ye Tian's offensive had slowed and knew the opponent was exhausted, his eyes showing cruel satisfaction: "Let this old man send you on your way personally!"

He no longer stood by. His figure flickered, and he passed directly through the light barrier. The aura of the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation erupted completely, and scarlet flame Chaos True Essence condensed into a giant flame palm, slapping down toward Ye Tian's head!

He wanted to end Ye Tian with his own hands to vent the hatred in his heart!

"Blazing Heaven-Burning Palm!"

Before the giant flame palm arrived, the terrifying heat wave had already scorched the air around Ye Tian until it distorted.

The power of this palm was far greater than the previous attacks the five Elders had launched with the help of the Formation!

Ye Tian's pupils constricted. He gritted his teeth and poured the remaining Chaos True Essence into the sword frantically. A grey-purple Thunder Gang Sword Gang rose against the sky, slashing toward the giant flame palm!

"Boom!!!"

The giant flame palm was torn apart by the Thunder Gang Sword Gang, but the residual palm force still slammed fiercely into the sword Ye Tian was holding in a cross-block.

"Pfft!"

Ye Tian suffered a heavy blow, felt a sweetness in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward, crashed into the light barrier behind him, and bounced back onto the ground.

He knelt on one knee, using the sword to support himself. The wound on his right shoulder that had just healed split open again, blood staining his clothes red. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, his face was pale as paper, and his aura had withered significantly.

"Junior Brother Ye!"

"Ye Tian!"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from off the stage.

Shui Qingdie's tears welled up, and she was about to rush over regardless, but Elder Qinglan held her back tightly.

"Hahaha!"

Nangong Lie withdrew his palm, looked at the wretched Ye Tian, and laughed wildly. He approached step by step, his face full of satisfaction: "Little beast, weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why are you lying there like a dead dog now?"

He stopped a few feet in front of Ye Tian, looking down at him from above, his tone full of cruelty: "Kneel, kowtow to admit your mistake, and cripple your own cultivation. This old man might consider leaving you a whole corpse. Otherwise... this old man will make you wish for death but be unable to die!"

Everyone held their breath, watching the youth in green robes inside the Formation who seemed to have reached a desperate situation, feeling somewhat unbearable.

Ye Tian kept his head down, breathing heavily, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly, blood dripping onto the ground along the blade.

To anyone watching, he was already at the end of his rope.

However, just when everyone thought Ye Tian was about to humiliate himself and beg for mercy, Ye Tian simply wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then raised his head.

At this moment, his eyes did not reveal fear; instead, they were very calm.

Even terrifyingly calm.

Nangong Lie felt an inexplicable shudder in his heart upon seeing those eyes, and then became even angrier: "At death's door, you still dare to play tricks!"

Ye Tian ignored his clamoring. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he said indifferently: "After fighting for so long... have you forgotten..."

He braced himself with the sword, slowly stood up, and looked at Nangong Lie. A vast aura quietly recovered on his body.

"What I am best at?"

The moment the words fell, Ye Tian let go of the hand gripping the sword.

The sword plunged into the ground with a clang, its body trembling slightly.

Then, amidst the astonished and puzzled gazes of everyone, he raised his hands and formed a hand seal in front of his chest.

His eyes slowly closed.

Inside his body, the chaos bead suddenly began to spin crazily!

A burst of Origin aura erupted!

He was going to... in the midst of battle, forcibly attempt a Breakthrough to the Third Stage of Chaos Thunder Gang!
