As Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan activated the formation, the sky-blue oil-paper umbrella in the air above the altar began to rapidly rotate, and the pond on it began to sway violently as if it had been struck by a torrential downpour.

At the edge of the paper umbrella, there seemed to be splashes of water, almost leaping out of the paper. The dozen or so koi in the pond also began to move, swimming on the surface of the umbrella. When their tails swam, they left golden marks in the air.

As the formation was activated, the altar began to tremor violently, and the ball of golden flames above it tremored slightly, but it remained completely still for the time being. However, the blue pouch on the other side was reacting far more violently.

The pouch was bulging and swaying violently, and the rumbling within it was growing louder and louder. At this point, it no longer sounded like a surging river, but more like muffled thunderclaps.

Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan exchanged a glance upon hearing this, and both of them wore grave expressions, clearly feeling quite nervous.

Then, there was a loud "boom".

The blue pouch tremored violently, and blue light abruptly flashed from within. 18 water dragons emerged from within before pouncing directly toward Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan.

Each water dragon was over 100 feet in length, and their bodies were translucent and translucent, as if they were made of crystal. However, there was water surging within them, and bursts of powerful water-attribute power of laws were emanating from them.

"They're coming, be careful..." Lan Yuanzi cautioned with a grave expression.

As soon as his voice trailed off, the 18 water dragons abruptly crashed into the formation they had set up.

"Rumble..."

A string of rumbling booms rang out incessantly, and lightning erupted from the bodies of the 18 water dragons. Countless bolts of blue water lightning surged forth in a frenzy, bombarding the entire formation. The arcs of lightning that erupted from the water lightning enshrouded the entire altar.

Lan Yan's face paled slightly as she sensed the might and power imbued within the water lightning.

She steadied herself and made a series of hand seals, injecting her immortal spiritual power into the sky-blue oil-paper umbrella in coordination with Lan Yuanzi.

Light flashed from the umbrella, and it instantly swelled to several times its original size. Waves surged within the pond depicted on the umbrella, and a series of bright red koi carps leaped into the air as if they were leaping through the dragon's gate, leaving a series of golden trajectories in their wake.

Along with the appearance of the oil-paper umbrella, the circles of runes inscribed on the handle of the umbrella began to shine brightly. It was like a peach blossom had bloomed on the umbrella, and a group of pitch-black vortexes appeared. Strands of attractive force emerged from within.

As these vortexes emerged, the surging blue lightning down below seemed to have finally found an outlet, and they converged in a frenzy toward the vortexes before being absorbed.

The 18 lightning water dragons were still wreaking havoc, and the water lightning they had released was being absorbed by the umbrella in a frenzy.

The entire pond on the surface of the oil-paper umbrella was boiling, and the koi inside was no longer just jumping around. Instead, it was crazily leaping about, and the scales on its body were flipped up one by one, sparks of electricity flickering within.

Lan Yuanzi wore a grave expression as he said, "Looks like this is the extent of our control. If this continues, the umbrella won't be able to hold on for much longer. Seeing as we've already reached this point, we'll have to take some risks..."

"Looks like this is the best we can do. If this continues, I'm afraid that the Koi Fish Umbrella won't be able to hold on much longer. Since it has come to this, we have to take some risks …" Lan Yuanzi said with a grave expression.

"Alright!" Lan Yan nodded with a pale expression.

After that, the two of them sat down with their legs crossed and their eyes closed. They each made a very strange hand seal, and bursts of powerful water-attribute power of laws began to ripple from their bodies.

As the two of them began to transform, thin threads began to emerge from the two spirit domain light barriers around them. The threads intertwined and drew closer to each other. In the end, light flashed, and the threads fused together.

At the same time, a streak of blue light suddenly flashed from the glabella of Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan. Two miniature Nascent Souls emerged from within before flying to the center of the two of them. The two miniature Nascent Souls joined hands, and the light from their bodies abruptly brightened as they also fused together.

The fused miniature Nascent Souls rapidly swelled in size until they were almost the same size as a normal human. However, their facial features had become a little blurry, making it difficult to distinguish their gender.

Immediately afterward, bursts of powerful water-attribute power of laws surged from the fused spiritual domain, wrapping around the transparent Nascent Soul, forming an extremely strange blue suit of water armor.

After the suit of water armor appeared, the fused Nascent Soul's aura swelled drastically. It glanced back at the two bodies that were still sitting cross-legged in the same place before taking a step forward, instantly arriving at the edge of the altar.

His hands reached into the curtain wall formed by lightning, and with a slight pull, the layer of water lightning was pulled apart like a curtain, revealing an empty hole.

The fused Nascent Soul bent over and entered the hole.

As soon as it entered the range of the altar, the 18 water dragons immediately raised their heads and swooped down toward it.

The fused Nascent Soul made a strange hand seal upon seeing this, then thrust its palms toward the water dragons.

Brilliant blue light flashed before it, and a circular water shield that was half the height of a grown man appeared before it, keeping the water dragons at bay.

Boom! Boom!

With a burst of violent thunder, the 18 lightning water dragons heavily smashed on the water shield, splashing a large amount of blue water lightning.

"Sizzle …"

Countless violent thunderbolts splashed on the Nascent Soul's body. Although it was blocked by the water armor, it could still be seen that the Nascent Soul's face was constantly twisting, and it was obviously in great pain.

However, even so, the fused Nascent Soul did not take a step back and approached the altar little by little.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! As the booming sound continued to grow louder, the water lightning became more and more violent. The water armor on the Nascent Soul's body began to melt, and the originally sharp and clear runic patterns on it began to become blurry.

At the same time, the oil-paper umbrella that was shrouded above was filled with water mist, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated from the umbrella. The pond that was drawn on it became shallower and shallower, and seven or eight of the dozen koi carps that were drawn on it had already disappeared.

The fused Nascent Soul's face was already twisted, and it looked like it was about to collapse, but it had already reached the altar.

"Ah …"

The Nascent Soul opened its mouth and let loose a roar. In the instant that it was on the verge of collapse, it grabbed onto the blue pouch.

With a violent tug, the blue pouch was dragged back to its body and out of the altar.

As soon as the pouch was moved, blue light immediately flashed from its surface, and the 18 lightning water dragons that had emerged from the pouch all shrank back into a ball of liquid that fell back into the pouch. The blue light faded, and all of the commotion disappeared.

At the same time, the oil-paper umbrella above the altar was finally unable to hold on any longer. The pond that had been drawn on both sides had completely dried up, and all of the koi carps within had disappeared. The surface of the umbrella had also become dry and wrinkled, as if it had been roasted by scorching flames.

The last trace of spiritual light on the umbrella dissipated, and the umbrella was completely burnt to ashes by raging flames.

After the fused Nascent Soul retreated from the altar, blue light abruptly flashed from its body, and it transformed back into two miniature Nascent Soul figures that flew back into Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan's bodies.

The two people sitting cross-legged on the ground gasped and suddenly opened their eyes.

Among them, Lan Yan was holding the blue pouch in her hand, and she was looking at Lan Yuanzi with elation in her eyes.

Lan Yuanzi opened his mouth to say something, but just as he was about to say something, the altar suddenly began to tremor violently. A series of massive cracks began to appear on its surface, and it appeared that the altar was about to collapse.

Lan Yuanzi hurriedly rose to his feet and grabbed Lan Yan's hand. They flew out of the hall and landed back on the misty plaza.

However, before the two of them had even landed on the ground, they were surprised to find that the layer of mist over the plaza was gradually fading away.

Right at this moment, the expressions of pain on the faces of the people in the square suddenly intensified, but after a breath of time, they all frowned and opened their eyes, awakening from the illusion.

Only then did Han Li shake off the suffocating feeling from before. He took a few deep breaths and hastily swept his gaze across his surroundings. With a single glance, he saw the violently trembling blue hall in front of him and the Lan siblings descending from the sky.

He frowned. Just as he was feeling doubtful, he heard a loud "rumble" coming from the hall.

Immediately afterward, a gigantic black crack appeared on the ground from his feet all the way to the blue hall. As it split into two, the entire cliff was torn apart.

"Oh no …" Lei Yuce shouted. He leaped up and was about to fly into the hall.

However, as soon as he leaped up, the black crack suddenly expanded, and the blue hall was split into two halves, collapsing to either side.

Through the cracks in the hall, Han Li immediately caught sight of the sacrificial altar at the center of the hall. There was a lone ball of golden flames hovering above the altar, and the flames were trembling incessantly, looking as if they were about to be extinguished at any moment.

With a thought, Han Li activated the Five Elements Fantasy Technique in his body. Using the power of time as a guide, he raised his hand and beckoned at the ball of flame from afar.

The restriction on the altar had already been destroyed by the Lan siblings, and the ball of golden flame immediately flew out from the altar. It circled around Han Li's hand, and he put it away.

At this moment, the altar, which was already in danger, finally lost all its power of suppression, and with a loud rumble, it completely collapsed.

In the place where it originally stood, there was a huge black hole in the collapsed area. The broken altar fell into the hole, and there was no sound for a long time.

"Too late, too late..." Lei Yuce's expression froze, and he mumbled.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of strange screeches came from the deep hole under the altar.

Han Li frowned slightly, and he sensed that there were many powerful auras rising from the hole, and they were getting closer and closer.

"Old man Wen Taisui, so what if you have suppressed me for so many years? In the end, I still have to come out, haha..." A sharp voice came from the hole, and the voice was filled with hatred.
