Chapter 1627: Four Symbols Level Four

Xu Yang's influence within the team was naturally unparalleled, yet even so, the words that came from his mouth still surprised every demon expert around him.

To them, such a judgment seemed entirely groundless, without any discernible clues. As expected, after a moment of contemplation, the Demon Saint Qitian finally risked offending Xu Yang and voiced his skepticism.

"Lord Xu Yang, although your power is immense, I truly cannot comprehend what clues led you to conclude that this vast desert conceals the so-called Fourth Forbidden Zone. There isn't even a trace of a powerful presence here. Even around this endless expanse of sand, there are no signs of life whatsoever. I find it hard to believe you possess the ability to predict the future."

Demon Saint Qitian clearly posed this question in a jesting, teasing manner. He was certainly not questioning Xu Yang's abilities, but no one could easily believe such an astonishing judgment.

Xu Yang displayed a calm smile. In fact, he had already anticipated that his companions would doubt his assessment.

"Haha, this is not difficult at all. You will soon understand what clues led me to this conclusion."

After speaking, Xu Yang directly looked at the four Demon Saints beside him. "The four of you, follow me and assume a formation. Position yourselves according to my guidance. Soon, I will allow everyone to reach the same conclusion as me."

Driven by Xu Yang's resolute gaze, the four Demon Saints naturally did not hesitate. They immediately rose into the air and arranged themselves according to Xu Yang's instructions.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, forming the Four Symbols' fourth tier, positioned themselves so that each Demon Saint was equidistant from the two adjacent formation eyes. Xu Yang then stepped into the core eye of this four-tiered formation.

He then actively drew forth a wisp of golden light, using a portion of the Law of Light to demonstrate his judgment.

Soon, around each of the four Demon Saints standing at the Four Symbols' fourth-tier positions, an incredibly intricate golden line began to condense. As these lines subtly moved, four distinct auras began to circulate around the Demon Saints' bodies.

After losing the guidance of Xu Yang's spiritual energy, these golden lines began to absorb more and more of the surrounding golden sand, and the volume of condensed sand steadily increased.

A wall quickly formed along the four individuals' positions. This massive sand wall began to coalesce into four powerful, swirling vortices, centered around each of the four outer demonic beasts' positions. The formation of these four vortices indirectly confirmed Xu Yang's judgment, perfectly validating the principle of "wind moves the four tiers, clouds follow the four symbols."

"The pattern of this power's movement is not naturally occurring; it can only appear within a vast and ancient formation inheritance system. This means the Four Symbols' fourth-tier formation is hidden within this endless desert. And apart from the desert, there are no buildings or formation eyes here. So, tell me, where is the true secret hidden?"

Everyone gradually understood the basis of Xu Yang's judgment. However, doubts still lingered.

"Lord Xu Yang, we can agree with your assessment, but this merely proves there's something mysterious beneath this endless sea of sand. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the entrance to the Fourth Forbidden Zone. It could very well be some ancient ruins!"

Xu Yang burst out laughing and immediately refuted Demon Saint Qianmo's judgment.

"Think about it, the Path to Heaven is ultimately controlled by the will of the Supreme God. If there were truly any ancient ruins, the Supreme God's consciousness would have long since devoured their corresponding inheritances with its own power. Why would it leave them for our benefit?

If my judgment is correct, the master of this Fourth Forbidden Zone originally intended to use the Four Symbols' fourth-tier formation to lure all of us into the central area of the Sand Sea. Then, with unparalleled wild sand, it would trap us firmly inside, eventually using the power of quicksand to devour most of our team's living demon forces. If successful, our army of several hundred thousand demon beasts would no longer pose any threat to the Peak of Kunlun."

No sooner had Xu Yang's words fallen than a terrifying burst of laughter suddenly echoed from the deepest part of the endless sea of sand. Immediately afterward, the four formation eyes of the Four Symbols' fourth tier simultaneously collapsed.

Countless spatial cracks appeared out of nowhere at the original positions where Xu Yang and the four Demon Saints stood proudly in the void. Fortunately, Xu Yang's perception was extremely sharp; he immediately summoned the four Demon Saints to return to the sand sea ground below.

Otherwise, one step later, the positions of the four Demon Saints would have been completely engulfed by this terrifying power. Just as the five individuals moved away from their original positions in the void,

The four formation eye positions in the void shattered simultaneously, and the hollow darkness instantly obliterated the Demon Saints' former locations into nothingness.

"How terrifying. It seems your guess, boss, was completely accurate. As expected, this Fourth Forbidden Zone is indeed hidden in this dreadful place."

Long Kun couldn't help but gasp, feeling a profound sense of lingering fear.

If not for Xu Yang's uncanny perception, most of the team would likely have perished in the sea of sand by now.

As the terrifying laughter continued to echo in the void, those devouring eyes rapidly began to converge towards a central point.

Amidst the terrifying power fluctuations and surrounded by the boundless sea of sand, a massive soul totem, standing proudly atop a sand peak, slowly emerged. The specific features of this being's face were indistinguishable; only its nearly three-meter-tall stone statue materialized in the void.

"Welcome to the Fourth Forbidden Zone of the Path to Heaven. The power possessed by this human leader is truly astonishing. Your guess was quite accurate; the true entrance to the Fourth Forbidden Zone lies beneath this endless sea of sand.

Unfortunately, opening the portal to the Fourth Forbidden Zone requires the sacrifice of your boundless demon beast bloodlines. Are you ready to sacrifice your lives?"

The colossal stone totem spoke with such arrogant defiance, clearly indicating that the opponent was fully prepared. Under the powerful surge of its spiritual energy, varying degrees of devouring vortices began to appear beneath the feet of each individual in the army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts behind Xu Yang, swiftly pulling these demon beasts down into the depths of the sand sea.
