In the dark ice cave, there was no retreat for everyone, and enraged, they decided to kill the thousands of lost souls ahead to carve a path to survival.
"Ha!"
A supreme sect leader possessing a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure threw out a dazzling golden furnace with all their might. Instantly, roaring flames poured out, transforming into a sea of fire, sweeping toward numerous lost souls.
The flames of this furnace were not ordinary; they were special strange fire capable of burning souls.
"Sizzle sizzle!!"
Accompanied by sizzling sounds, the flames swept over, and except for a few lost souls remaining unharmed, dozens of lost souls were incinerated on the spot, turning to ashes.
Many more lost souls, though not immediately obliterated, became even more translucent, teetering and struggling desperately.
"Master Qi, we'll help you!"
Dozens of sect leaders who pursued Mu Jinyu to this place, not all possessing heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, were invigorated upon seeing the powerful furnace of Master Qi and came forward to assist.
"Good!"
Master Qi did not refuse, as it consumed a massive amount of True Yuan to unleash the utmost divine power of the heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, which he couldn't sustain alone for long.
"Boom!!"
A massive violet-gold hammer smashed the ground heavily, collapsing countless ice walls instantly, releasing invisible waves that impeded the advance of the lost souls!
"Clang!!"
A bronze halberd with countless blood stains and emanating boundless murderous aura swung out, exterminating dozens of lost souls in an instant!
"Jingle jingle!"
A golden bell flew out, growing in the wind until it resembled a great golden bell, slightly rocking as a fierce ringing resounded, wiping out another group of lost souls!
The Wu Family's Eight Desolations Cauldron and the Divine Formation Sect's Divine Formation Disc also joined the fray, killing indiscriminately!
A few sect leaders holding heaven-reaching spiritual treasures swung into action at this moment, heavily battering the lost souls, resisting their overwhelming killing intent like a tidal wave!
"Together, we can break through the encirclement!"
The other sect leaders struggling under the hands of lost souls saw their comrades wielding heaven-reaching spiritual treasures easily slaying enemies and felt relieved collectively.
Not hesitating to exchange glances, they each found a sect leader with a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure to join forces for survival.
Thus, dozens of people formed six small groups to jointly fend off the charge of thousands of lost souls!!
"Roar!!"
The strongest half-beast lost souls, which even Mu Jinyu feared, didn't initially intend to engage, letting their subordinates attack.
However, seeing the dozens of invaders wielding heaven-reaching spiritual treasures slaughtering across the land right under their noses, with few subordinates able to withstand the onslaught, they became irate. After issuing a bellow, they signaled their subordinates to retreat.
They then floated toward the five invading groups themselves!
"Watch out!"
Wu Xiongfei and several others, wielding the Eight Desolations Cauldron together, saw the most fearsome lost souls preparing to strike, and warned solemnly.
Everyone tightened their nerves, knowing the most difficult challenge was coming.
Their only consolation was that these lost souls were dead things without any Netherworld Instruments, making them evenly matched or even dominant!
"Roar!!"
A strange lost soul with a phoenix head and human body, wings on its back, emitted a roar, and with a flap of its wings, its fingers shot out sword-like claws, attacking the nearest group, claw shadows flying, disturbing the void!
"Kill!"
Wu Xiongfei shouted deeply, and along with five others, diligently activated the Eight Desolations Cauldron, which floated up and emitted a misty glow, fending off the terrifying claw shadows!
"Sizzle!"
Just as the others felt buoyed, thinking the strongest lost souls were not so formidable, with a sound of silken fabric tearing, a supreme sect leader was instantly reduced to a pile of flesh without uttering a scream!
The flesh spread unevenly on the ice, faintly discernible claw marks visible on it.
"How could this be?!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified, retreating in panic!
This was a fifth-layer Hedao Realm powerhouse, though not as great as Wu Xiongfei and other top-grade powerhouses, surely shouldn't be killed in one swipe like this!
One person glanced at the messy pile of flesh on the ground with great fear, and spoke solemnly: "Everyone, be careful, they might control the laws of this world!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was enlightened but also more fearful.
They realized it was the Heaven and Earth Laws being utilized, explaining how a powerhouse was killed without a sound.
However, in this Extremely Cold Hell, they couldn't control the Heaven and Earth Laws, nor could they manipulate Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to replenish their own True Yuan expenditure!
How could they survive under such circumstances?
At this moment, besides Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi, who deeply loathed Mu Jinyu, the other sect leaders started regretting getting involved!
"Don't disperse your strength anymore; let's unite!"
Jing Haosi frowned and spoke to everyone.
"Master Jing, do you have a solution?"
Upon hearing Jing Haosi's words, recalling his identity as the headmaster of the Divine Formation Sect, one person brightened their eyes and hurriedly asked.
The combined formation of the Divine Formation Sect was quite famous in the Kunlun Ruins, with many major sects' Mountain Protection Arrays customized by them based on feng shui, Dragon Veins, terrain, etc.
Faced with such a crisis, clearly if Jing Haosi revealed their sect's ultimate technique, they might break free from encirclement.
"Roar!"
While they quickly communicated, the strongest lost souls attacked without delay, rushing forward demanding, bone spurs thrusting, claws pounding, iron fists smashing...
In an instant, despite everyone joining forces to fend off the attack, three were nonetheless killed by the lost souls!
After all, controlling Heaven and Earth Laws versus not utilizing Heaven and Earth Laws is a world of difference!
The only ones most likely to survive were the six supreme sect leaders holding heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.
"Master Jing, quickly tell us your plan!"
"Otherwise, if we all die, even with your heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, you may not fare well!"
A dozen people realized another three had died and urgently called out to Jing Haosi.
Some eyed the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures wielded by Wu Xiongfei and others, eyes flickering with ferocious light, contemplating a ruthless move if no solution was forthcoming.
Jing Haosi frowned, sighed, and said: "My Divine Formation Disc contains a formation that can unify everyone's strength and connect with the six heaven-reaching spiritual treasures' powers; the thing is..."
"What's the thing?!" Someone frowned and asked.
Jing Haosi sighed: "Once activated, my Divine Formation Disc will incur damage, and those within it will experience some degree of Origin Source loss, hence my previous reluctance to use it. But given the circumstances, it depends on your decision now!"
"Losing some Origin Source is better than losing life!"
"Indeed, thank you, Master Jing. We will certainly provide Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to compensate your sect afterward for the loss."
Everyone quickly said collectively.
"Alright, then come in!"
Jing Haosi's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit, then activated the Divine Formation Disc, revealing a light curtain passage before everyone.
According to Jing Haosi, entering the Divine Formation Disc would allow their combined strength to unleash their maximum power!
Having reached this point, the dozen people hesitated no more, gritted their teeth, and stepped into the light curtain passage.
Once everyone entered, a hint of joy and ruthlessness flashed in Jing Haosi's eyes.
