The curly bearded man seemed to have anticipated Jin Tong's sudden approach, and he had already taken a step back. He didn't want to tangle with Jin Tong, and as he retreated, he continued to make hand seals and seemed to be silently chanting something.
The other three's actions were almost the same. Their teamwork was almost flawless.
Han Li sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly called out "Jin Tong". His body flashed with golden light, and he opened his Time Spirit Field.
However, he had only opened half of the field when the sea within a million kilometers of him was already enveloped by a brilliant silver light. A giant formation that had been set up at some point in time shone brightly from the bottom of the sea.
In an instant, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly spread from the bottom of the sea and enveloped the surrounding area.
Han Li's expression immediately changed. He grabbed Jin Tong, who had just flown back, and the golden lightning around them instantly condensed into a formation. With a thunderclap, the two disappeared from where they stood.
Then, a thunder formation appeared out of nowhere in the sea less than three thousand meters away. Han Li and Jin Tong's figures appeared again. They hadn't been teleported away, and were still above the light formation at the bottom of the sea.
"The space has been sealed. The thunder formation can't leave," Han Li said with a slight frown.
"It's fine. Let's break through it." Jin Tong grinned and said indifferently.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling silver light suddenly shone from all four directions.
Han Li looked around and saw that the silver mirrors in the hands of the purple-dressed woman and the other three were all shining brightly. A thick silver pillar of light surged out of them and went straight for the silver pillar of light that had fallen from the sky earlier.
After the four silver pillars of light hit the silver pillar of light, it was as if thousands of mirrors were shooting at each other at the same time. Countless silver shadows were refracted from them and turned into irregular light curtains. Like broken mirrors, they overlapped one another and covered the sky.
In the next instant, the broken mirror-like silver light curtains merged with the light formation at the bottom of the sea. A dazzling silver light flashed, and the surrounding area within a million kilometers was instantly turned into a land of death.
Before the two of them had a chance to do anything, the scenery around them began to change.
The originally clear sky turned dark in an instant. The surrounding void was like a sticker on a blackboard, being torn apart layer by layer, revealing the thick darkness behind.
The surrounding world was plunged into endless darkness. Apart from the escape light on Han Li's body, there was no other light.
"Illusion technique?" Jin Tong asked in confusion.
"It's not an illusion, but an extremely profound spatial secret technique. We're no longer in the Dragon Pool Celestial Realm …" Han Li's eyes flickered with a dark purple light as he spoke slowly.
At this moment, he finally understood why his Divine Sense had failed to discover the grand formation.
That was because the great formation was not originally in that area of the sea. The moment the four Dao Ancestors appeared, they used a secret technique to summon it to that area of the sea. Then, they worked together to activate it.
"Strange, there seems to be only the auras of the two of us within a radius of a million kilometres?
They made such a big fuss just to leave us here?
Although the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is forbidden here, it doesn't affect us much, "Jin Tong said doubtfully as he wrinkled his nose.
"Expand your Divine Sense a little more, and you'll discover it.
This is a cage. If I'm not wrong, they're trying to imprison us here, "Han Li said as he shook his head.
Jin Tong did as he was told, and the expression in his eyes changed slightly.
As expected, in the surrounding void thousands of kilometres away, an extremely strange spatial force condensed into a huge spatial barrier, isolating the two of them in the middle.
Jin Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that they're trying to stop us from going to the Heavenly Court?"
"The Bodhi Banquet should've started now, and they've sent out four Dao Ancestors to deal with us. I believe that should be the case.
However, I'm just a Grand Luo cultivator, so I'm surprised that the Heavenly Court values me so much, "Han Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jintong sneered.
"You've already severed the Three Corpses and defeated two of the Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Court. One of them is Xuanyuan Jie of the Seven Lords of Heavenly Law. Do you think this is a little surprising?
I'm not surprised at all. In fact, I think they're being too hasty. "
Hearing this, Han Li could not help but touch his nose and sigh softly in his heart.
Indeed, with his current cultivation level and aura, even if the Time Dao Ancestor personally came, he wouldn't be surprised.
"It would be surprising if this place could truly trap the two of us," Jin Tong said as he rubbed his fists.
"Let's think of a way to break this spatial enchantment first." Han Li stared into the distance as he spoke slowly.
Jin Tong nodded, and with a flash of golden light, he flew away.
After a few breaths, a golden flame suddenly bloomed in the pitch-black Void thousands of miles away. A huge golden beetle suddenly appeared and collided with something, causing an earth-shattering roar.
Then, the silver light in the Void surged, and a huge barrier containing the powerful power of the Law of Space appeared. There were silver ripples on it, and it spread in all directions as if there was no end to it.
Seeing that Jin Tong's attack had failed, the golden light on his body surged again, condensing into a sharp spiral-shaped beam of light in front of him. His figure flashed again, colliding with the barrier rippling with silver waves in the void.
"Boom …"
Another earth-shattering roar sounded, and Jin Tong's huge body was knocked back again. The silver barrier still only rippled, and it was not damaged at all.
Just when Jin Tong was about to try again, Han Li stopped him.
"There's something strange about this space. There seems to be an even more majestic force outside the spatial barrier. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to break it with brute force. Let's calm down and find out if there are any flaws," advised Han Li.
Hearing this, Jin Tong's golden light faded, and he returned to his human form.
After a short discussion, the two separated and carefully examined the spatial barrier in different directions.
…
Outside the spatial barrier was a dark Void similar to the Extraterritorial Space.
The four Dao Ancestors who had fought with Han Li were now hovering outside the barrier, and they all wore solemn expressions as they stared at the situation inside.
Speaking of which, it was strange. From the inside to the outside, this barrier was clearly pitch-black, but from the outside to the inside, it was as clear as looking at a fire.
"Zishan, do you think they can break the Ten Directions Immortals Formation?" asked the curly-bearded man.
"As you said, this is the Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Formation. Even if the four of us are trapped in it together, we might not be able to break it. At least … without ten thousand years, don't even think about it," the tall purple-robed woman replied.
"Dong Li Hu, why … do you think they have the ability to break the formation?" the ugly old woman asked with a frown.
"Daoist Zhu Yan, one of them is a Dao Ancestor of the Law of Devouring, and the other is a peak Grand Luo of the Law of Time. They're characters that even the seven Heavenly Lords are wary of. It's not too much to overestimate them, right?" The curly-bearded man, Dong Li Hu, asked with a straight face.
"What kind of formation is this Ten Directions Immortals Formation?
It's a formation that gathers the power of ten Immortal Realms. Each Immortal Realm is guarded by dozens of Grand Luo cultivators, hundreds of Primordial Unity Jade Immortals, and thousands of Golden Immortals. If they can still break it, how can we have the face to report back to the Heavenly Court? "the old woman, Zhu Yan, said with a cold snort.
After saying that, she looked into the distance, looking at the void that was even further away. She saw that in the pitch-black sky, there seemed to be ten huge skylights opened.
Through the numerous' skylights', Chen Xi was able to see that there were 10 different Immortal Domains within it. The scenery of every single Immortal Domain was different. Some were situated on the peak of a mountain, some were situated on an island within an ocean, some were situated in a forest, and so on and so forth.
Numerous enormous formations that occupied an extremely large area were constructed on these mountains and islands. At the center of every single formation stood an enormous stone pillar that was almost 30km tall, and it was inscribed with all sorts of talisman markings.
The Grand Luo Primordial Unity Jade Immortals and Golden Immortals that the old woman mentioned were sitting around the stone pillars. Each of them was performing incantation gestures and chanting incantations to maintain the operation of the formation.
Circles of silver light kept rising from the ground beneath them, rising layer by layer into the sky. They kept condensing and shrinking until they were completely integrated into the ten thousand feet tall stone pillar in the center.
In these ten Immortal Realms, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed like a raging river in the places that could not be seen from the skylights. The rate of consumption was so fast that many places that were already lacking in Spiritual Qi were now showing signs of withering forests and drying up rivers.
With so many people maintaining the formation and such a large consumption of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, such a formation could be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Han Li and Zhu Yan would never have thought that they would be facing a Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Formation that gathered the power of ten Immortal Realms and tens of thousands of Immortals, not to mention that there were four Dao Ancestors guarding it.
At this moment, the white-haired man who looked like a child who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke in a shrill voice.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu Yan, you mentioned returning to the Heaven to report on the mission … If I remember correctly, we were ordered to trap him here with the power of this formation and then kill him together, right?"
Zhu Yan frowned and asked, "That's easy for you to say, Fellow Daoist Meng Yuan … Didn't you hear about Xuanyuan Jie's death?
That's a Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements we're talking about. Isn't his power above ours? "
Zhu Yan's wrinkles furrowed as she asked, "I've already heard about it from those who escaped.
Han Li won with the help of Golden Immortal Devourer, and Xuanyuan Jie … was a little careless, "Meng Yuan said after a moment of hesitation.
"Then do you know that Feng Qingshui also almost died in his hands? At that time, Golden Immortal Devourer didn't help him," Zhu Yan said with a sneer in her eyes.
