A mysterious figure materialized in the distant eastern sky. An ancient pagoda hovered above his head, while primordial Chaos Qi in myriad layers overwhelmed his form, rendering his silhouette indistinct and his entire body unclear. Only a pair of eyes were visible, profound beyond measure as if they had witnessed the sinking of an entire epoch. Strange phenomena manifested around him—worlds rising and falling—making him resemble a Human Sovereign, the lord of all heavens.
His appearance caused the entire world to grow heavy and still, making the hearts of the various powerful figures present race with fear.
Another invincible supreme being.
The several Old Antiques turned their gazes toward this Chaos Supreme Being. For some reason, this person, like the Ye Tianchen who had self-destructed earlier, was shrouded in primordial Chaos Qi, suggesting some connection.
Naturally, they did not believe this was Ye Tianchen. He had just self-destructed and perished before so many eyes, seemingly dead beyond doubt. How could it possibly be him?
However, at this moment, they dared not casually offend such a supreme figure, especially as they were all severely injured. An Old Antique from afar cupped his fists and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is your true intention? Why have you trapped all of us?"
"To kill you all."
The Chaos Supreme Being's words were simple and direct, clearly stating his true purpose: to kill the powerful members of the various major forces.
Upon hearing this, the experts from the major forces were shocked, especially the Old Antiques, whose expressions immediately turned grim. An Old Antique from the Luo Tian Royal Clan coldly shouted, "Sir, we do not know where we have offended you. But for you to think you can kill us is somewhat presumptuous. We advise you to release us immediately. Otherwise, if you offend our various major forces and wish to start a war, we will ensure you have nowhere to hide, neither in heaven nor on earth."
The implication was a naked threat.
"Oh, is that so? I'll be waiting," the Chaos Supreme Being chuckled, though no matter how one looked at it, his laughter carried a bone-chilling coldness. Then, he simply waved his hand.
Boom—
Instantly, the heavens shattered and the earth cracked. From beyond the Nine Heavens, vast and mighty stellar power descended in torrents, overwhelming the firmament.
Under normal circumstances, such stellar power would be an extraordinary form of Great Dao divine energy, something one could draw into the body for cultivation to refine even more powerful divine power. Yet now, it had transformed into a destructive attack.
Visible to the naked eye, the endless stellar power directly transformed into various forms of assault. Some became countless ancient beasts diving down to attack; some turned into terrifying Dao weapons shimmering with stellar power; some condensed into small stars crashing down; others took the form of ancient gods and demons. Without exception, they were all fearsome forces of slaughter, surging forth to attack the experts of the major forces.
"It's a formation!"
The Old Antiques recognized it—this was an extraordinary formation, specifically a killing formation.
Moreover, it could draw stellar power from beyond the domain to suppress them. One could imagine how extraordinary this formation was—an unimaginably terrifying killing formation. Now that its attacks were unleashed, it could definitely slay even a Super Great Power.
But when had this terrifying killing formation been set up? Why had no one noticed?
The Old Antiques were alarmed. How could powerful beings like them have failed to detect even the slightest hint? Had the opponent begun laying this trap from the moment they surrounded and attacked Ye Tianchen?
If so, this person was likely also after the Emperor Ring.
The experts from the various forces immediately began to resist. Each was a true Great Power with considerable cultivation, and there were quite a few Super Great Powers present as well, including the Old Antiques. The talents had no fear; they all acted simultaneously, blocking the formation's attacks while trying to shake the formation itself, seeking to break out.
"Trying to break out? You're still lacking. See this attack?"
The Chaos Supreme Being spoke indifferently, then moved both hands. The Star Slaughter Formation trembled violently, and from the starry sky beyond the domain, a terrifying, indescribable Great Dao fluctuation suddenly emerged. The moment this fluctuation appeared, it spread boundlessly. Endless radiance erupted, instantly becoming many times more dazzling and brilliant.
"Look, what is that?!"
The experts from the major forces looked up toward the starry sky beyond the domain. In the distant horizon, endless bright light flashed, rapidly surging toward them.
When they finally saw clearly, each of them drew a sharp breath.
For that light was nothing else but countless massive stars. The stars from beyond the domain of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain had actually been summoned.
One must know that the stars beyond the domain of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain were related to Emperors and immortals. Even a peak Great Power would find it difficult to summon them. Experts at the Nine Tribulations Realm might have some chance, but it was certainly not something an ordinary Nine Tribulations Realm expert could accomplish. One could imagine that once summoned and descended, it would be a truly devastating attack.
Everyone below panicked instantly—they couldn't help it. Even the Old Antiques were no exception.
"Not good! The stars from beyond the domain harbor a trace of Emperor Power or immortal power. If struck, everything will be destroyed!"
An Old Antique roared, urging the experts from the various forces to evade.
Boom—
Countless stars from beyond the domain fiercely descended, completely enveloping this region and overwhelming all the experts within the killing formation. Then, star after star from beyond the domain exploded, containing absolute destructive force.
Within this, a full eight Great Powers, unable to withstand it, were annihilated amidst the explosions of the numerous stars from beyond the domain.
"Watch this old one!"
An Old Antique raised his hand and struck out with a palm. A sky-shielding giant handprint soared upward, fiercely colliding with a descending star from beyond the domain.
Boom—
However, to the Old Antique's astonishment, the star from beyond the domain, which should have harbored a trace of Emperor Power or immortal power, did not possess the imagined cataclysmic destructive force. On the contrary, under his attack, it shattered quite easily.
Soon, he understood, a look of shame and anger spreading across his face as he shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid! These are not actual stars from beyond the domain at all! They are merely condensed divine energy that looks very similar but are not the real thing. Just attack and destroy them!"
Hearing this, many immediately understood. They felt both shame and anger, as quite a few had been scared into fleeing in disarray. Now, understanding the truth, they felt a mix of shock, fury, and yet relief.
At the very least, since they weren't actual stars from beyond the domain, there was no need to fear being annihilated.
"Heh, a bunch of useless trash, only realizing it now."
The Chaos Supreme Being chuckled coldly, his laughter carrying undisguised mockery.
The other experts within the Star Slaughter Formation all wore ugly expressions upon hearing this. The Old Antiques looked especially grim. One among them even roared, "What kind of coward are you, only daring to hide? If you have the guts, come out and fight us properly!"
"Fight you properly? You mean all of you against me alone?" The Chaos Supreme Being chuckled coldly, his tone dripping with ridicule.
