In the next instant, dense pillars of black formation energy, like a torrential downpour, bombarded Ye Yunfei's newly laid formations.
"Formidable!"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled.
The attack power of the formations on that black wall was terrifying. Ye Yunfei's own formations were struggling to hold, swaying violently under the onslaught.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
In just moments, the formations Ye Yunfei had set up began exploding one after another.
"The power of these Dark Faction formations is incredibly strong, and there are simply too many of them. So many formations unleashing attacks simultaneously create an effect far too dreadful," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Right at this moment.
Rumble...
Suddenly, from the distant Chaotic Void, a colossal golden hand surged forward, arriving instantly before the towering black wall and throwing a punch at it. The terrifying force behind the fist sent shivers of fear through everyone present.
"The Ancient Covenant!"
Seeing the golden hand, Ye Yunfei exclaimed in a mix of shock and joy.
The last time, the Ancient Covenant had been besieged by a large group of Dark Faction Earth Immortals, with some Earth Immortals from major forces in the Main World joining the attack. Ye Yunfei hadn't known the fate of the Ancient Covenant afterwards. Now, seeing it reappear so suddenly, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Indeed, it is the Ancient Covenant. It has always been one of the foundational assets of our Light Faction," the nearby Light Faction experts said, nodding.
"It seems the Ancient Covenant wasn't destroyed last time!" Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
The previous siege against the Ancient Covenant had been most directly linked to Ye Yunfei himself. If anything had happened to it, Ye Yunfei would have felt immense guilt.
Rumble...
The ferocious attack of that golden fist extinguished all the formation energy pillars erupting from the black wall in one blow, allowing Ye Yunfei and the other Light Faction experts to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph! So it seems your Light Faction came prepared. Very well, let's destroy this Ancient Covenant today and put your Light Faction's hopes to rest for good."
A cold snort echoed from behind the towering black wall. Then, a colossal black hand withdrew from the distant Chaotic Void and began directly trading blows with the golden hand.
The moves and techniques employed by both sides were profound and mysterious, each strike carrying a terrifying pressure of energy that forced everyone to continuously retreat.
Rumble...
As the golden hand and black hand fought fiercely, another dense volley of formation energy pillars erupted from the surface of the black wall ahead. Like a torrential, surging black storm, they bombarded the golden hand with the force of an unstoppable tide.
Under the dual assault of the numerous formations and the black hand, the golden hand was gradually forced onto the defensive. It even began to retreat, visibly being pushed to a disadvantage.
"The number of formations contained within this black wall is simply staggering—virtually impenetrable. And their power is substantial. Unleashed together, even the Ancient Covenant struggles to withstand them," Ye Yunfei thought to himself. "No wonder the Dark Faction can dominate the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and launch World-Destroying Wars multiple times. Their foundations are truly terrifying. This single black wall, composed of formations, can likely block anything!"
"It's a pity my current formation skill isn't strong enough. If I could dismantle the formations within this black wall, the Dark Faction would lose one of its powerful foundational assets," Ye Yunfei mused, observing the black wall ahead.
"Do you have a way to break through or directly pass through those formations?" Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Your formation skills surpass mine. If you can't crack them, don't ask me. As for passing through, if this black wall were solely composed of formations, I might attempt a crossing. But besides an astonishing number of formations, this wall contains a massive quantity of strange restrictions, Dark Energy, dark laws, and various Dark Faction secret arts. I cannot pass through it," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm shook its head in reply.
"Didn't you say before that few places in the world could prevent you from crossing? Why are you so afraid of this black wall now?" Hu Miao interjected.
"Do you think I'm omnipotent! If I can undergo several more bloodline breakthroughs, I might try it. Right now, I cannot. Unless I want to die!" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm answered.
"Hmph!
We'll destroy the Ancient Covenant today."
At that moment, a shadowy figure slowly emerged from within the towering black wall ahead.
This shadowy figure did not appear particularly tall. It walked silently out from the black wall, seemingly quite ordinary.
However, as the figure became clearer, everyone began to feel an indescribably terrifying pressure of energy saturating this stretch of space-time.
Then, everything froze.
Within this region of space-time—energy, laws, air, dust, living beings—in short, everything instantly became still, as if captured in a painting.
Even all living creatures found themselves unable to speak, staring dumbfoundedly at that shadowy figure like sculptures.
Each creature felt intense terror, as if an invisible force were strangling their throat, making speech impossible, or something sealing their thoughts, leaving their mind blank save for pure dread.
"Who is he?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze locked onto the shadowy figure, his heart also filled with immense alarm.
Under the terrified gazes of everyone present, the shadowy figure gave a casual wave. The distant black hand, still battling the golden hand, suddenly flew back and directly merged into this shadowy figure.
Everyone then realized—that colossal black hand belonged to this figure; it was a blow launched from behind the black wall.
The mastermind was now present!
"Could this be the legendary Dark Ancestor?
Too terrifying!"
This thought involuntarily surfaced in many minds.
At that moment, the shadowy figure slowly advanced toward the golden hand, bringing with it an overwhelming, dreadful pressure.
"Hmph!
I didn't expect the legendary Dark Ancestor to truly exist. Very well, today I shall test your power."
Just then, from the distant Chaotic Void, a golden-armored giant strode forth, holding a gleaming golden broadsword. His entire body radiated rolling golden light, illuminating every detail of the surrounding space-time.
Rumble...
As the Golden Armored Giant arrived, this stretch of space-time began to tremble violently, as if buckling under an unbearable weight.
"Who is this?"
Ye Yunfei looked at the Golden Armored Giant, feeling extremely shocked.
"Strictly speaking, he is not a single individual. Rather, he is a collection assembled from the purified blood of countless experts of our Light Faction. This is one of our foundational assets, created specifically to confront the legendary Dark Ancestor. Since the Dark Ancestor has appeared today, our Light Faction has no choice but to reveal this asset as well."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Old Man Chu.
