The dire situation within Mountain Valley was completely alien to those outside the valley. Yue Tang was a Formation Master nurtured by the Yuxian Sect. Mu Zifeng had his own plans for the Formation; whoever captured Zuo Dao would inevitably have to take action, thus giving the Celestial Sect the upper hand. If you wanted to come out, fine, just pay the price.
At this moment, Yue Tang had lost the calmness he once had before the Formation. After Mu Zifeng and his group of Cultivators entered the Locking Formation, he suddenly realized that his connection with the array had been severed. The only explanation for this was that there was an Array Master above him within the formation who had taken control of the Locking Formation.
As he anxiously placed his hand on the array's Light Shield, his suspicions were confirmed. The Locking Formation, which was supposed to be impenetrable, had become inaccessible; escaping was out of the question. No Array Master would be foolish enough to alter a Locking Formation to allow exit but not entry, especially under such circumstances.
The change in the formation could not have come from his side; that left only Zuo Dao and his group.
The situation had escalated beyond his control, and he could only report it. The other Cultivators left behind also sensed something was amiss, and soon messages began to fly back and forth. All sects and families receiving the information sprang into action once again.
If anything happened to this batch of Cultivators within Mountain Valley, it would undoubtedly be a significant loss for their faction.
Meanwhile, ignoring the reactions from outside, the crimson mist within Mountain Valley had solidified into a tangible form, enveloping the entire valley like a cloud of Fire Burn, vibrant and dripping with color.
Weaker Cultivators were directly ignited by Void Fire, their Dan Fire within them being painfully refined down to a strand of Spirit Energy amidst the earth.
Mu Zifeng and his group of Nascent Soul Ancestors were still unaware that they had been trapped by Zuo Dao. At this moment, some individuals began to realize they could not leave Mountain Valley. Panic started to spread.
Some astute Cultivators began to move toward Zuo Dao's location; however, despite being less than half a mile away, they found it impossible to reach.
One by one, the protective spiritual energies of the Cultivators were ignited by Void Fire. Within the Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation, the spiritual energy of Cultivators became the best source of power. The entire Great Formation continuously absorbed their spiritual energy, converting it into demon-slaying force. Even some Ancient Ancestors felt their external spiritual energy uncontrollably breaking down.
"Everyone stay calm, retract your spiritual energy and land," Mu Zifeng commanded. Although he couldn't discern the intricacies of this formation, his years of experience as a Nascent Soul allowed him to recognize that this array had not yet fully activated; for now, it could only affect Golden Core Level Cultivators. However, he couldn't determine what impact a fully activated Great Formation would have on those at Nascent Soul Stage. With these thoughts in mind, he began issuing orders.
The Nascent Soul Ancestors present felt something was off as well; Zuo Dao observed the situation within Mountain Valley with a slight sigh.
"It’s still a bit rushed; we don’t have enough materials. Otherwise, those Ancient Ancestors wouldn’t have time to defend themselves."
The Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation was a legendary array created in ancient times to combat formidable foes. At that time, the Celestial Clan was weak while the Demon Clan was powerful. By chance, this formation was established, and in a dramatic turn of events, the Celestial Clan's cultivators used it to annihilate several Great Powers of the Demon Clan, gradually reversing their defeat. Thus, during the chaotic battles among the four ancient clans, the Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation achieved remarkable military exploits.
For Zuo Dao, there was no difference between exterminating demons and exterminating immortals. Several Zhenren had already been refined and restored within the formation, continuously increasing the concentration of Spirit Energy. The location where Zuo Dao and others stood was the eye of the Great Formation, where the restored Spirit Energy was continuously injected, making it the area with the highest Spirit Energy content in the entire Great Formation.
The temperature within the Great Formation kept rising, and the power of Void Fire accelerated even further. Mu Zifeng and others were at a loss, their eyes glaring fiercely at Zuo Dao and his companions.
"Charge forward! No matter what it takes, we must reach that boy; only then do we have a chance at survival," Mu Zifeng's voice echoed throughout the area.
"The Golden Core True Persons will form a battle array to enhance our defenses. The Ancient Ancestors will split into ten to protect us from outside threats; the rest will attack with me." Mu Zifeng had no other choice; a Formation Master was hard to cultivate and would generally not be put in danger easily. Thus, he left Yue Tang outside Mountain Valley, resulting in no one knowledgeable about formations within the Valley.
Breaking a formation could only be done by an Array Master or through brute force. He did not believe that forty Ancient Ancestors could not break through an array set up by a Qi Practitioner.
Seeing this situation, Zuo Dao couldn't help but smile. This was truly courting death; although several Golden Core True Masters' Spirit Energy was limited, it was precious due to its purity. What methods did cultivators have for attacking? There were essentially two: energy and physical attacks. While different in approach, both required Spirit Energy. Of course, soul attacks were an exception; if someone attempted a soul attack within the Demon Extermination Array, Zuo Dao could only wish them good luck.
A faint rumbling sound emerged from within the array as all attacks exploded into fireworks in the void, shaking the very ground beneath them. The vast red mist was dispersed into nothingness before reforming elsewhere, yet this newly born red mist appeared even more vibrant and dripping with color.
"What are you staring at? What do you expect to see? With such a great opportunity before you, why aren't you cultivating? What do you want to do?" Zuo Dao looked at the three with dissatisfaction. "You should know that opportunities like this are rare—hundreds of cultivators above Golden Core level are here!"
From the moment he set up this array, Zuo Dao had intended to use these cultivators for his own cultivation purposes. Due to material limitations, the Great Formation could not last long, so it was necessary to remind them to seize every moment.
Zuo Dao continued to accelerate the full activation of the formation as spirit stones flowed like water into the void from his hands. He needed to constantly reinforce the foundation of the array to achieve optimal results.
Feng Yikong and Second Ancestor felt an overwhelming surge of pure Spirit Energy continuously pouring into their bodies. Second Ancestor managed better than Feng Yikong; after a short while, Feng Yikong felt his meridians swelling dangerously close to bursting, with signs of his Golden Core going out of control—he couldn't help but be alarmed.
Zuo Dao seemed to have anticipated this situation; he pointed a finger at Feng Yikong's forehead.
"Calm down; operate your Cultivation Method according to my guidance." With that, he began assisting him in refining his energy.
Scenes unfolded before Mu Zifeng's eyes, making him feel as if his eyes were about to burst.
"Zuo Dao, aren't you afraid? How can you use such a vicious formation against our clan's Cultivators?" he shouted while attacking. If he couldn't see the purpose of this formation now, he would truly have wasted his time.
Every place where a Cultivator disappeared left traces of flowing Spirit Energy. Although Mu Zifeng practiced the Orthodox Path, he was all too familiar with this situation; he had once done something similar, refining an enemy to ensure they would never enter Reincarnation.
Zuo Dao paid no mind to Mu Zifeng's shouting, focusing entirely on helping Feng Yikong refine the Spirit Energy within. The Great Formation would disappear in less than a moment, and most of the Nascent Souls on the field had not suffered significant damage; at most, they had lost a bit of spiritual power, which was not a major issue for them.
Most of the Cultivators understood what was happening and recognized it was definitely not good news for them. As time dwindled, Zuo Dao became more resolute and forced out a drop of essence blood into the air.
Suddenly, the entire Great Formation underwent a tremendous change with a loud boom.
