504: Break through the formation with ease!

Yao Delong, having transformed into "Blood Fiend," let out a sinister, low grunt. His blood-red robe stirred up a gale of baleful wind.

His figure morphed into a flickering streak of blood-red light, instantly departing from the clamorous core area of the formation eye.

He plunged into the labyrinth of massive rift crevices below, where the jagged rocks lay in disarray and the Devilish Qi surged like a living creature!

The target — six hub nodes! Three core auxiliary formation eyes!

The action — swift as lightning! Racing against time! Every instant felt like a searing hot iron pressing against his heart!

The method — the invisible Heart Sword at his fingertips, condensed to the extreme and transcending the perception of Soul Transformation! Within it lay the Yin Yang Nirvana Seal!

Like a specter claiming lives in a dark valley, he wove through the dark and twisted crevices of the demonic domain!

Encountering Cultivators? The low-level ones would see his signature blood-robe tattoo from afar and immediately prostrate themselves in terror!

The middle-level ones, sensing the surging blood-fiend Aura of a Mid-stage Soul Transformation, would also avert their gazes in trepidation!

Even those of the same level, though slightly suspicious, were deterred by the gloomy, fierce gaze and impatient, irritable Aura of "Blood Fiend"!

At the end of a narrow rock crevice, dark red demonic patterns flowed like molten lava, condensing into a heart-shaped hub node that pulsed continuously, absorbing the surrounding Devilish Qi!

Pfft! A faint, subtle sound, like a withered leaf shattering!

A point of pure, transparent Heart Sword Power from Yao Delong's fingertip pierced through the air and stabbed in!

The Sword Qi instantly split into thousands, transforming into countless minute "Nirvana Runes." Like venom, they quietly merged into the flowing demonic pattern veins, temporarily "solidifying" their deep-level logic! The exterior showed no signs of abnormality!

The second... the third... The fourth core auxiliary formation eye was located in a cavern erupting with sickly green toxic smoke!

The two Late Stage Demon Infant ghost-masked Cultivators guarding this place only felt a terrifying, fishy wind blow past, cold to the marrow and seemingly capable of freezing the Soul.

Just as they were about to look up in suspicion, their Divine Soul was shocked into a blank state by this deliberately emitted "Blood Fiend Aura"!

By the time they regained their senses, that blood-red shadow was long gone!

The complex demonic pattern formation eye on the cavern wall had already been quietly planted with a "Seed of Deathly Silence"!

Time flew by amidst the mad dash of accelerating heartbeats and the spark-like sword imprints falling from his fingertips!

Half an hour! Five of the six hub nodes had been set!

Two of the three core auxiliary formation eyes had been marked for destruction! Only the last three critical locations remained!

Cold sweat seeped out along Yao Delong's real skin beneath the simulated demonic skin, only to be evaporated by the powerful Chaos Qi!

The monstrous Aura of Hundred Refinements was drawing closer! The frenzy of energy unleashed by Night Hawk and the others, who were intercepting him at the cost of their lives, could be heard clearly!

Boom!! Crackle —!

The Nine Yang Golden Bell light barrier once again let out a series of wails, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse!

A massive rift spewed in a vast amount of filthy Devilish Qi! Lin Clear Snow bit her lower lip tightly, her ice-Soul cold eyes locked firmly onto the gap!

The Cold Flood Dragon Sword in her hand erupted with ice radiance nearing its limit, freezing the influx of toxic Devilish Qi flow, while cracks spread further across the sword body!

Liu Rumei forced her wounded body to hold on, using her broken sword to draw upon the remnants of earth fire to patch another corner!

Lin Shishi and Xiao Huohuo were stained with blood, their Aura withered to the limit, yet they still, along with the few remaining Disciples and under the coordination of Elder Lin Mingyuan, poured their last remaining sliver of Yuan force into the core of the Formation Plate!

Despair had become tangible! The shattering of the light barrier was just a matter of moments!

"Elder... no... it's not working..."

Liu Rumei suddenly coughed up fragments of her shattered internal organs, the light in her eyes flickering like a candle in the wind.

She strained to lift her head, looking toward the distant formation eye, where demonic shadows loomed, violent and monstrous... Delong... we might have to break our promise...

"Clear Snow, girl..." Elder Lin Mingyuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the center of the Formation Plate with withered hair and beard, moved his lips. His hand, as withered as an eagle's claw, was clutching that dark blood talisman — the Blood Refinement Void-Breaking Talisman!

His turbid gaze finally turned toward Lin Clear Snow, carrying an unquestionable resolve to die, "It is this old man's incompetence! I cannot protect everyone... Prepare...!"

Meanwhile, outside the rift — "Form the array! Seven Nights Death-Defying Kill!!!"

Tens of miles outside the rift! A roar that shook the heavens and earth, carrying absolute resolve to die!

Boom —!!!

A brilliant radiance, a hundred times more violent than before, like the explosion of a small sun, burst forth in the western sky!

A crazed shockwave, mixed with the burning of blood-fire and the will of exploding stars, tore through the rolling demonic clouds of the skeletal throne carriage of the Hundred Refinements Demon!

The bone throne shook violently! Several Golden Core and Nascent Soul demonic servants who were too close to the throne instantly turned to dust! They didn't even have time to scream!

Five blood-soaked figures, like mad demons, tightly entangled that terrifying skeletal throne and the roaring Current Marquis beside it!

"Who is blocking Old Demon Hundred Refinements!?" The Burning Rock Demon suddenly jumped onto a steep rock platform, pointing to the west! His tone carried a hint of horror!

Even he could sense the terrifying self-destruction power outside that transcended Soul Transformation!

"Lord Hundred Refinements is under attack?! Follow me..." The Savage Demon's massive body stood up abruptly! With a roar, he was about to muster troops to go out and rescue him!

The attention of all the demonic Cultivators inside the rift was, at this moment, crazily drawn to the western explosion of light and flame, as if by an invisible magnet!

— — Now!!

The figure of "Blood Fiend" appeared like a ghost at the bottom of the abyss, at the last and most secretive auxiliary formation eye — beneath a twisted bone tower hidden behind a geothermal lava waterfall!

Chaos divine light flashed in Yao Delong's eyes! Without the slightest hesitation! He slammed his hands together in front of his chest!

The Yin Yang Origin reversed crazily! The Nirvana Sword Intent and Heart Sword Origin, accumulated for several moments and capable of tearing through the Void Realm, exploded from his fingertips!

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft — — six faint spatial sounds like withered branches breaking!

Three deeper, thunder-like spatial tremors! Nine locations — detonated!

Rumble, rumble, rumble —!!!

It was not thunder! It was the frantic wail of the entire massive rift abyss at this very moment!!!

It was as if the nine Dark Sun Demon Pillars supporting the firmament had suddenly snapped at their roots!

The viscous Devilish Qi and the Nine Underworld Restriction light waves, which were originally surging, boiling, and crazily suppressing the Golden Bell light barrier, were suddenly choked by an invisible giant hand! They solidified for a ten-thousandth of an instant!

The next second! The space in the areas where the six hub nodes were located collapsed inward violently! Silent annihilation! It formed an absolute black hole singularity that devoured all light, energy, and even blurred the very concept of existence!

The violent Devilish Qi was forcefully torn apart and devoured! The three core auxiliary formation eyes exploded simultaneously! Like three sleeping demonic mountains collapsing with a roar!

The demonic bone towers, condensed over ten thousand years, shattered! The lava waterfall twisted and evaporated! The blazing columns of filthy energy lashed out wildly like injured venomous snakes!

A chain reaction! The massive, invisible shackles of the entire "Nine Underworld God-Locking Forbidden Domain" spasmed violently! All the binding power and decay fluctuations instantly lost control and order! It was like a fierce army that had lost its command, colliding in Chaos!

Hum, wail —!!!

A terrifying, teeth-grinding screech erupted from the massive Black Obsidian Inverse Demon Stone core formation eye!

That invisible demonic web covering the core of the rift, suppressing all spatial movement and vast Yuan force — that temporarily reinforced Nine Underworld God-Locking Force Field — collapsed by more than thirty percent in an instant, like boiling water poured on snow!

The pressure on the riddled Nine Yang Golden Bell light barrier at the bottom of the abyss suddenly eased! Although its own structure had also been impacted by the violent tremors, causing cracks to expand, the imminent state of destruction was brought to a halt!

"No —!!!" The Savage Demon's roar was like an injured ancient Vicious Beast, filled with astonishment, fury, and disbelief!

"Who!? Who exactly touched the Foundation!?" The lava flowing around the Burning Rock Demon suddenly boiled and splattered!

"Backlash!!!" Old Hag Ghost Poison's shrill, hoarse roar also changed in tone!
