784: Four-elephant Array

In the Demon Beast Forest.

With a roar, the mysterious person who had charged forward retreated even faster.

"Damn it!"

"Eighth Stage?"

After landing, the person looked at Wang Chen with a solemn gaze, a hint of frustration in his tone.

"The old fellows of Xuantian Holy Land are indeed as insidious as ever!"

"One open, one hidden, sending out two Eighth Stage Dao Protectors. It seems those old fellows truly value this new Saint!"

The mysterious person flexed his hand, dispelling the stinging pain from the recoil, his eyes no longer holding the previous disdain.

Although he hadn't used his full power in that strike, it was absolutely impossible for a cultivator at the Late Stage of Sixth Stage to block it.

Moreover, he could sense that the opponent hadn't used his full power either, yet he himself had suffered a hidden loss.

This meant that the opponent was at least at the Middle Stage of Eighth Stage, or even the Late Stage of Eighth Stage, like himself.

An Eighth Stage Middle Stage, plus two Sixth Stage Late Stage, such a force could be easily handled with their current lineup.

But if an additional Eighth Stage Middle Stage or even Eighth Stage Late Stage appeared, and they weren't careful, if one of them escaped, all their plans would fall apart.

At this moment.

As the mysterious person flew back to his companions, the other three mysterious people around them moved instantly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

With three whooshing sounds, the three mysterious people flickered, landing in the southeast, west, and north directions of Wang Chen, Bai Yuliang, and the third person respectively.

In an instant, Wang Chen and the other two were surrounded by these four mysterious people.

And this was only the beginning. As these four mysterious people occupied the four cardinal directions, their hands simultaneously formed different seals, and then...

"Azure Dragon Seal, rise!"

"White Tiger Seal, rise!"

"Vermilion Bird Seal, rise!"

"Black Tortoise Seal, rise!"

Four low shouts rang out, and intense power fluctuations erupted from the mysterious people simultaneously.

Boom!

Magical light soared, and the illusory figures of the Four Spirits Divine Beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—appeared behind the four mysterious people respectively.

In an instant, vast and ancient power furiously squeezed the air. Wang Chen and the other two, caught within the encirclement, felt the air around them solidify from the pressure, and the ground beneath their feet was compressed to an incredibly solid state, as hard as rock.

And at the same time, the illusory figures of these Four Spirits Divine Beasts let out silent roars, then abruptly converged into one entity in the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A roaring sound, as if the heavens and earth were being created, echoed. At this moment, this space seemed to expand infinitely, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding soil and trees completely vanished.

Wang Chen and the other two only felt a blur before their eyes, and the next second they appeared in a pure white scene.

The four mysterious people were gone, only a giant monster floating in the sky, radiating terrifying pressure and casting a cold gaze.

It had a Dragon head, fiery wings, a tortoise body, and a tiger tail.

This giant monster inherited some external characteristics of the Four Spirits Divine Beasts, and the power fluctuations it emitted had already reached the Peak of Eighth Stage.

In this pure white space, it was as dazzling as a great sun, exuding terrifying pressure.

This terrifying pressure made Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun's breathing involuntarily hitch.

"How is this possible? It's the Four Spirits Avatar! This is actually the Four Symbols Formation!"

Looking at the terrifying giant floating in the air in the distance, Xu Yun and Bai Yuliang's faces were incredibly pale, and their eyes were filled with extreme horror.

They never expected that these four mysterious people who suddenly appeared would actually use the Four Symbols Formation!

At this moment, Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun overturned their previous guesses about the mysterious people's origins.

They were not from the Nine Nether Demonic Sect and the Extreme Evil Gate at all!

The Four Symbols Formation is a unique technique of the Four Symbols Holy Land among the Eight Great Sacred Grounds of the Netherworld. It is a powerful Formation that only the most direct descendants are allowed to Cultivate.

Legend has it that when the Four Symbols Formation is Cultivated to its extreme, it can directly summon half the power of the Four Great Divine Beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—from the beginning of the Netherworld's creation, allowing one to contend with Tenth Stage Great Emperor level experts.

It could be said that anyone capable of using the Four Symbols Formation is absolutely a core disciple of the Four Symbols Holy Land!

This meant that these four individuals who ambushed them were from the Four Symbols Holy Land! And with their Middle Stage Eighth Stage strength, they were at least Elders of the Four Symbols Holy Land!

This discovery made Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The Eight Great Sacred Grounds had always been united, yet now the Four Symbols Holy Land had sent people to impersonate the Godshock Army of Chu and carry out this ambush. The reason behind it was terrifying to contemplate.

Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun dared not imagine what purpose the Four Symbols Holy Land had in sending people to sow discord between Chu and Xuantian Holy Land; it would likely cause a major upheaval throughout the entire Netherworld.

However...

Unlike the horrified expressions of Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun, Wang Chen, who had been observing with a cold eye, now looked at the giant Four Spirits Avatar in the sky with a hint of interest.

"Combination Formation?"

"Interesting!"

The power intertwined among these four mysterious people, and the fluctuations they emitted, were extremely similar to the power of army Formations on Blue Star.

Moreover, the power unleashed by the Formation formed by these four mysterious people was even stronger than that of army Formations. There were only four of them, yet they summoned Eighth Stage Peak power after the Formation was completed.

This was even stronger than the Guardian Array of the Undead Gathering Place!

One must know that the Guardian Array of the Undead Gathering Place was inanimate and could not be moved once set up, but these four individuals were different.

"Is this the Four Symbols Holy Land's secret technique?"

"This seems to have a very strong reference value for my Combination Skill!"

Wang Chen naturally heard Bai Yuliang and Xu Yun's exclamations. In an instant, he developed a strong interest in the Four Symbols Formation of the Four Symbols Holy Land.

If he could obtain the mysteries of the Four Symbols Formation and integrate them into his Combination Skill, it would definitely allow him to unleash even greater power.

"Hand over the method for setting up the Four Symbols Formation, and I can spare your lives today."

Wang Chen looked at the giant Four Spirits Avatar in the sky with excitement. He knew that the four individuals from the Four Symbols Holy Land could hear his words.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"How arrogant!"

A thunderous laughter echoed from within the Four Spirits Avatar. Its massive Dragon eyes locked directly onto Wang Chen, containing undisguised mockery.

"You can't even take care of yourself right now, yet you dare covet my Holy Land's secret technique?"

"How laughable. The people of Xuantian Holy Land are indeed always so arrogant. Do you really think that just because you rank first among the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, you can lord it over everyone else?"

"The mistake Profound Heaven Great Emperor made a thousand years ago, it's time for you to pay for it."

The fiery wings behind the Four Spirits Avatar spread open, and a violent fire-attributed magical power instantly formed a terrifying fiery cloud above Wang Chen and the other two:

"You have been tolerated for a thousand years. Now, prepare to die!"

Rolling thunder boomed, and a sky-darkening rain of fire poured down.
