Chapter 891: War Skeleton

At that moment, Xu Yang finally revealed a relieved smile. "I knew it," he thought, "the real secret must be hidden after these ninety seconds."

As expected, unlike any of the previous trap formations Xu Yang and his three companions had encountered, this top-tier formation, crafted by Ancestral Witch Yuntong, was a complete enclosed space.

In other words, it was a three-dimensional formation.

The area where Xu Yang and his three companions stood was now completely sealed off on all sides by tightly interconnected formations, creating a massive rectangular enclosed space.

Within this enclosed space, every wall was an independently existing spatial formation.

"Previously, you were able to evade the sealing effect of my formations by using air manipulation, but this time, my three-dimensional spatial formation has completely sealed off any possibility of your escape. Experience the despair that truly belongs to you, little ones!"

"My heavens, it may not be an Ancestral Witch-level technique, but it truly is extraordinary!"

Lady Winter couldn't help but admire her opponent, as the three-dimensional spatial formation before them was simply too powerful, offering no possibility of escape to anyone trapped within it.

However, an even more bizarre sight had just emerged: the Ancestral Witch's soul body, which had previously been shattered by the combined efforts of Xu Yang's three teammates, revitalized and reappeared in its original, complete form.

"What? How did he come back to life again? My heavens, what's going on?"

Xu Yang sneered, "Not only can his soul body revive, but every attack you inflicted upon him before he resurrected can also be perfectly reflected back."

Xu Yang had, in fact, seen through everything long ago. The moment he spoke, Ancestral Witch Yuntong clearly froze for an instant.

"I never imagined your insight was so profound. I truly underestimated your strength. No wonder you never made a move from the start; you were already on guard against me."

Xu Yang said no more. With a cold expression, he began to walk forward, step by step.

Simultaneously, the terrifying devouring aura emanating from Xu Yang effortlessly drew all the replicated techniques from every direction onto himself alone.

The power of angels swiftly took effect. The brilliant light of the Angelic Domain, emanating a faint golden aura, enveloped Xu Yang's body. In an incredibly short time, it forcibly devoured all surrounding external forces into the Angelic Domain.

"You can replicate, but I can purify. That's something you surely never anticipated!"

Xu Yang advanced with steady steps, gazing down at his opponent with a cold, condescending air.

Surrounded by golden light, he appeared as noble as a god from the heavens, descending to judge the fate of the arrogant Ancestral Witch before him.

"You probably don't realize that while your formation is powerful, it still appears weary in the face of true divine laws."

Finally, the most powerful Law of the God of Light descended once more. Xu Yang, wielding divine will, judged all beings; endless golden light instantly refined all the surrounding spatial seals, leaving Ancestral Witch Yuntong completely dumbfounded.

"No! This is impossible! How can you wield the power of a god? Who exactly are you?"

Xu Yang scoffed, "I'm not some 'humble fellow' as you called me. Do you truly believe that the Five Forbidden Zones, with tens of thousands of years of accumulated power, can do whatever they please across the entire Eastern Domain? You still gravely underestimate this world."

As his words faded, the formation space, now completely reduced to nothingness, vanished.

At that very moment, Xu Yang maximized his movement speed, and his Jade Bone Divine Sword flew out.

Ancestral Witch Yuntong clearly hadn't anticipated such rapid changes. He didn't even have time to react before Xu Yang's incredibly powerful Jade Bone Divine Artifact pierced through his shoulder.

Severely wounded, Ancestral Witch Yuntong placed one hand on the ground, allowing his blood to seep into the depths of the earth.

"Oh no, this must be a powerful formation that can only be activated with blood. Boss, we have to act first!"

Hearing Yun Xiao's warning beside him, Xu Yang immediately rose into the air, his gaze once again fixed on the range of the formation rules that the old man was releasing through his blood below.

Endless brilliant sword energies descended furiously. Almost instantly, Xu Yang shattered the geographical location corresponding to the formation into nothingness. However, he ultimately failed to completely stop Ancestral Witch Yuntong's blood from flowing.

*Screech!*

A creaking sound, similar to bones shattering, continuously echoed from the deepest part of the earth's veins.

The ground beneath Ancestral Witch Yuntong's feet split open on both sides, and from within emerged a colossal skeletal giant, tens of meters tall.

This massive creature, entirely composed of bones and skulls, glowed with a burning blood-red hue. Undoubtedly, it was Ancestral Witch Yuntong's bloodline nourishing this enormous war puppet.

"Hahahaha, you forced my hand. When I unleash this ultimate trump card, no matter how many Heavenly Martial Realm combatants you bring, it will be useless. Embrace your destiny of slaughter."

After fully sensing the complete aura fluctuations of the colossal war puppet, Xu Yang instinctively furrowed his brows and spoke in a low, cold voice.

This war machine was not indigenous to Yingzhou Continent; it must have been modified from some unique material originating from beyond this realm.

Not only was its physical strength almost indestructible, but more terrifyingly, it had been implanted with an independent thought pattern, and every bone on its body had undergone special formation rule processing.

"If my judgment is correct, then whenever we launch an attack on him, every corresponding part of his body will reflect back a specific formation rule as a counter."

"Damn, is it really that terrifying? I'll go test it out first!"

Lady Winter said, then suddenly tossed a chain-like magical artifact from her hand, which spiraled through the air, pressing down on the war machine.

The colossal war skeleton merely raised its left hand slightly, using the bone of its left hand to meet Lady Winter's artifact.

The moment the two collided, Lady Winter's magical treasure was, without any warning, completely absorbed by the formation rules activated by the contact with the hand bone.

"Damn it, it can't be this insane! I can't even sense my treasure's aura anymore! What in the world is going on, my heavens!"

It was no surprise that Lady Winter was taken aback; even Xu Yang was seeing such a bizarre war machine for the very first time. However, drawing upon his extensive combat experience and keen intuition, he instinctively recognized the creature's operational principle.

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, then suddenly pointed towards the surrounding void. Countless sword energies materialized out of thin air once more, and powerful sword qi began to frantically assault every part of the colossal war machine's body, wildly triggering its innumerable formation rules.

Soon, lights of various colors continuously appeared across the war skeleton's body, each glow corresponding to the awakened state of a specific formation triggered by the touch.

In mere moments, dozens of formation rule energies unleashed simultaneously. Various forces collided, resulting in an almost cataclysmic explosion of power within several kilometers around the massive creature.

Yet, when all the commotion subsided, the colossal skeletal war machine took another step forward. The collision of such magnitude had not caused even the slightest adverse effect on its physical form.
