He was truly scared just now. He had to admit that Miao Zuo's great formation was incredibly powerful.
He had previously claimed he could withstand the full assault of a Saint Body realm expert for half an hour.
Now, it seemed he had been a bit too modest.
This wave of impact clearly surpassed the power of a Saint Body realm expert.
Fortunately, it wasn't a targeted attack from a Void realm expert.
Within the formation, within Chu Tian's visible range, a patch of bloodstains was left in the several formation eyes that were powering the great formation.
It was evident that the person in the formation eye had been reduced to dust.
However, those outside the formation eyes were unharmed, which put Chu Tian's mind at ease.
He presumed that the other formation eyes outside his sight were in similar condition.
This meant that during this wave of impact,
they had lost 1,000 people!
These individuals were all experts from Clear Water City.
Wan Bao Lu's expression alone indicated his immense heartache.
However, a commotion also arose within the Clear Water City contingent.
Chu Tian vaguely heard them saying they no longer wished to enter the formation eyes to provide energy for the great formation.
"You've only lost a few people. Our brothers from the City of Oblivion have just suffered tens of thousands of casualties! If you don't want to die now, get into the formation eyes!"
Chu Tian's expression turned grim. His soul power surged, transmitting these words to everyone within the great formation.
Immediately, the commotion ceased, and many revealed expressions of resentment.
However, Chu Tian didn't care about their thoughts.
He thought that this was the perfect opportunity to eradicate the tumor on the Sea of Death.
He believed that once this disaster passed,
if everyone worked together, the survivors would be as one.
Although Clear Water City could provide water for the entire desert,
it was precisely because of this that fairness and justice were even more crucial!
Clear Water City's past actions involved holding everyone hostage with their lifeblood.
Previously, they called the Wind Soul Sect vampires!
Draining resources from the other three main cities.
But that was only directed at martial artists and some high-ranking officials.
After understanding Clear Water City's methods, Chu Tian no longer thought that way!
To inflate the price of water, they had secretly cut off many underground rivers flowing from Clear Water City to the rest of the desert.
This plunged the entire Sea of Death into a water shortage, leading to countless deaths of ordinary people and even demon beasts due to lack of water!
Therefore, this tumor, Clear Water City, had to be completely dealt with before he left this place.
Seeing those people, after hearing his words,
reluctantly drawing lots to decide the order of entry into the main formation eyes.
Chu Tian let out a sinister smile.
Let them live a little longer!
He once again turned his gaze towards the Blood Clan.
The blood-red light within the Blood Clan's pillar, which had been depleted earlier, was gradually recovering.
There were two locations where blood energy was being spewed:
one was gushing upwards from below,
and the other was a vaguely visible triangular blood-colored light gate.
The upward gushing position was likely the wound of the snake-turtle beneath their feet.
The blood energy spewing from the blood-colored light gate was likely overflowing from another world!
What truly enhanced the Blood Clan's strength was probably the blood energy overflowing from that world, which contained energy that allowed the Blood Clan to advance.
It was now apparent that the light gate was not fully open.
As the Blazing Hell Hound had said, once that light gate opened, true Blood Clan experts would arrive in this world through it!
However, even without it being fully open, Chu Tian had seen some beings emerge from it before.
These beings were precisely the mutated Blood Clan members, four meters tall and wielding giant axes, that Chu Tian had encountered previously.
So, they were Blood Clan beings from another world.
These Blood Clan members might merely be scouts dispatched from over there.
Yet, their power was comparable to mid-stage Battle God realm experts.
If one considered it carefully, how powerful was that world?
With such a powerful race, and such a vast population base,
it was easy to imagine how simple it would be to truly invade a star!
But Chu Tian's focus was not on these matters, but rather on the shape of the blood-colored light gate.
It presented a perfect triangle!
At the three vertices of the triangle were three light clusters: white, black, and blue!
He shared his vision with Beast Beast, who was in his soul space.
"Beast Beast, look, aren't those three the City Lord's Seals?" Chu Tian wanted to confirm his thoughts.
"Yes, Master!" To his surprise, Beast Beast gave a definitive reply.
...
"Little bug, if you have the guts, come out!" Chu Tian was pondering something when
a greeting reached his ears.
Chu Tian looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Blazing Hell Hound, snarling with bared teeth a thousand miles away from the Blood Clan's great formation.
"Hmph... if you have the guts, come here," a person dressed in the Wind Soul Sect's attire said with a triumphant smile at the edge of the great formation.
"Relying on the energy support from over there, what are you so smug about? If you have the guts, come and fight me!" The Blazing Hell Hound remained rooted to the spot, roaring at the other party.
Chu Tian looked over and noticed that one of the Blazing Hell Hound's eyes was so swollen that it could only squint.
It was clear that it had suffered a significant disadvantage in their recent clash.
From its words, Chu Tian knew that this early-stage Void realm expert hadn't repelled it solely through their own power.
"Hmph..."
That person did not reply.
With a turn, they re-entered the great formation.
The blood energy within the formation was not yet so dense as to obscure vision.
Chu Tian saw the location they went to, which was near the blood gushing from underground!
Then, they sat cross-legged in the air above.
The next moment, the blood there boiled and churned!
Ooooooh...
A familiar scream echoed again from the extreme north.
The ground beneath them trembled a few more times.
It was evident that the old fellow was bleeding the snake-turtle.
The scream was precisely from the snake-turtle!
For a moment, the battlefield situation returned to a stalemate.
The Blazing Hell Hound dared not approach the Blood Clan's great formation attack.
As for the other side, they only wanted to stall for time.
Continuing to stall like this would not benefit their side at all.
"Dong Dong, how much longer until you completely unfreeze the snake-turtle's heart?" Chu Tian asked Dong Dong, who had transformed into the Dragon Sparrow, turning his body.
"What's the benefit of unfreezing the snake-turtle's heart?"
"The snake-turtle's strongest points are its physical body and its self-healing!
As long as the snake-turtle's heart is unfrozen, the wound they opened can be healed by the snake-turtle in minutes!"
Dong Dong remained silent, while Little Dragon Girl explained from the side.
Chu Tian nodded in understanding. It seemed everyone was stalling for time.
However, they couldn't let the other side uninhibitedly refine the snake-turtle's blood energy to provide nutrients for the construction of that blood gate.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.
It seemed it was time for him to make a move.
A level twelve demonic beast possessed the peak strength of the late Void realm.
That fellow had drained all the blood energy within the formation when it repelled the Blazing Hell Hound.
And he himself was unable to preside over the formation that opened the blood gate.
In that case, he should go forward and harass them, forcing them to divide their attention.
He believed he could achieve this.
However, he was unsure if his strength would allow it.
If it didn't work out, he would have to resort to Shattering Star!
But before that, he needed to go forward and verify the extent of his current strength.
For so long, he had never truly fought against top-tier individuals.
Even when he clashed with that Saint Body realm expert, he felt he had more than enough strength.
With this thought, Chu Tian did not hesitate.
His figure flashed, and he directly charged towards the blood-colored great formation.
Seeing Chu Tian's figure, Dong Dong and Little Dragon Girl
did not try to stop him. On the contrary, both women revealed looks of concern.
Especially Little Dragon Girl, whose eyes actually lit up, as if she were about to spectate a juicy piece of gossip.
"Can he... do it?" Dong Dong finally uttered a few words.
"Please remove the... 'can'," Little Dragon Girl replied with certainty.
However, Dong Dong... this Southern Beast Spirit—the Dragon Sparrow—still seemed to believe it to some extent.
