Chapter 1643: Bloodthirsty Formation

Xu Yang personally uttered this harsh statement, unequivocally indicating his intention to personally intervene and resolve this unpredictable, bloodthirsty grand formation.

As expected, Xu Yang stomped his foot, and his movement speed instantly surged to its limit.

He swiftly arrived at the very center of the city wall's surface, where a massive crimson inscription glowed intermittently. Xu Yang intended to use his formidable cultivation to counter the core of the formation's power.

Originally, this terrifying blood-devouring power emanated from the central crimson inscription, rapidly spreading to every corner of the outer city wall within a very short time, providing comprehensive defense for the entire hundred-foot rampart.

However, Xu Yang, by himself, directly blocked the central core of the formation, rendering its tremendous devouring power aimless. Xu Yang's strength forcibly suppressed all of it back to its source.

Consequently, the blood-devouring power radiating outwards, deprived of the central core's continuous support, quickly became a mere formality, ineffective in its purpose. It could no longer exert its potent blood-devouring effect on the demon warriors ascending the ramparts.

"Long Kun, continue with your mission. I'll handle the rest. With me here, you can rest assured."

When Xu Yang's words reached Long Kun's soul world again, the latter immediately broke into a satisfied smile.

"Hahaha, I knew that with you here, Boss, I wouldn't have to worry about anything. With you personally suppressing this formation core, I'd like to see what power can stop me from taking the city! The first palace of North Imperial City belongs to me, Long Kun!"

With Xu Yang's strong backing, Long Kun's battlelust reached its peak. As the leader of the vanguard for the entire main force, Long Kun fearlessly stood at the top of the hundred-foot city wall, single-handedly confronting more than a dozen defending generals simultaneously.

At this moment, starlight swiftly surged through both of his arms, as if enveloped by two galaxies. Long Kun freely unleashed this purifying stellar energy. Every brilliant burst of starlight released was a life-destroying catastrophe for the generals of the Kunlun Divine Dynasty defending the city walls.

Boom! Azure waves erupted simultaneously from Long Kun's arms, creating terrifying swirling vortices of energy.

In an instant, dozens of surrounding generals were completely annihilated, leaving no trace of their bodies, which simply turned to dust and vanished into the sky.

Above the city wall, the advance suicide squad led by Long Kun launched their assault, swiftly eliminating all the guards on the hundred-foot rampart.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of thousands of demon beasts on the periphery were relentlessly assaulting the hundred-foot city wall using various methods. Only at the core of the formation, where Boss Xu Yang stood, was Xu Yang completely engulfed by an endless crimson glow.

Yet, no matter how fierce this power was, it struggled to push him even a hundred meters from his body. How could the immense golden-yellow protective light, which radiated pure power of light, be resisted by such insidious and deviant cultivation methods?

Xu Yang remained as steady as a mountain, standing proudly in the void, using his profound cultivation to completely override the defensive power of the city wall's formation.

This sight utterly astonished the Grand Elder of the formation, cloaked in a pale white robe, who was observing from above.

"To think such a genius has emerged among humans! It seems this time, I alone, an old man, certainly cannot stop these wolves. I must first summon my junior brothers and sisters to activate our cultivation powers with me. Regardless, we must do our utmost to deal with this invasion by foreign powerhouses."

No sooner had the elder in the pale yellow robe finished speaking than a sigil of energy rapidly formed in his palm. This mark swiftly ascended his arm and shot towards the clouds.

In various corners of North Imperial City, several dormant eyes simultaneously opened. They immediately left their original positions, appearing like streaks of meteor light, swiftly converging from all directions towards the city wall.

The simultaneous appearance of the other seven formation-guarding elders significantly boosted the morale of the remaining few hundred city defenders on the hundred-foot wall. It was clear that these radiant old figures were the true pillars of the cultivation world within North Imperial City.

Excluding the reclusive living fossils, these eight individuals were arguably the most prominent figures in North Imperial City's cultivation world. More importantly, beyond their formidable cultivation strength, these eight elders possessed another identity that truly put the imperial city's warriors at ease.

Together, these eight controlled the most potent forbidden-level protective power in the entire Northern City.

Xu Yang's team was unaware that North Imperial City once played a crucial and irreplaceable role within the entire Kunlun Divine Dynasty.

It was responsible for suppressing all the ancient evil souls that various powerhouses of the Kunlun Divine Dynasty had brought back and sealed from different regions of the main continent.

This suppression had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. Even when the will of the Supreme God later sealed everything in North Imperial City onto the Path to Heaven using powerful spatiotemporal laws, making it the Fifth Great Forbidden Zone and the final barrier guarding Kunlun, their original duty had not ceased.

Notably, after arriving in the Fifth Forbidden Zone of the Path to Heaven, the ancient evil soul powerhouses originally suppressed deep within North Imperial City seemed to rest even more peacefully.

Now, with North Imperial City facing an unprecedented external impact—Xu Yang personally leading the demon beast army to attack—it seemed that the ancient evil souls, dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, were due for an awakening.

"Senior Brother, are you truly prepared for this? Once we fully unleash the forbidden formation, those ancient evil souls, long devoid of their main spirits, will reveal their most vicious side.

Not only will the hundreds of thousands of attacking demon beasts become their sacrifices, but also all the tens of thousands of remaining cultivators within North Imperial City.

It's important to remember that not many, even among the eighteen Old Guardian Gods who inherited the Kunlun lineage's power from the Supreme Living Fossils of yesteryear, could kill those ancient evil souls.

They are truly ancient monsters of the cultivation world, from the Kunlun lineage, who succumbed to their cultivation, becoming deeply tainted with evil energy.

If these individuals hadn't gone astray in their cultivation, they would have been unparalleled prodigies in the righteous path, unmatched by any before them.

Their cultivation and innate talent far surpass all the powerhouses of our generation. If they are all released, no matter where they end up, it will be a true disaster."
