"What's going on? Why have five Formations appeared here?"
At that moment, an old man of tall stature rushed out from within the city, arriving at the gate's location. Seeing everyone attacking the five Formations, he immediately shouted sternly.
This was an Advanced Void God!
Seeing that an Advanced Void God had arrived, everyone perked up.
"Elder Bai, these five Formations only appeared not long ago. Now the city gate has been sealed by them. If we want to get out, we must break through them," several Deities immediately went up to him and said respectfully.
"Step aside. Mere Formations won't block my path."
This tall Elder Bai radiated formidable Divine Power energy from his entire body. Wherever he went, the other Deities in his vicinity were suppressed by his aura and dodged away.
Rumble rumble…
Elder Bai stomped his foot, soaring into the air, then threw a fist towards the five Formations. Then everyone saw ancient Deity projections appear one after another around his fist. Each Deity sat cross-legged, their mouths continuously chanting an ancient scripture.
The sound emitted by these scriptures caused resonance in the surrounding space.
At that moment, Elder Bai's fist appeared incomparably terrifying. Thousands of Deity projections sat cross-legged around his fist. The energy emitted by each Deity projection was frightening, and together they formed a combined force that struck the first layer of the formation's radiance screen.
Rumble rumble…
The five formation radiance screens trembled simultaneously, erupting with terrifying formation power. At that moment, everyone felt a massive amount of Divine-level energy surge from the city's ground, sweeping grandly towards those five formation radiance screens.
Next, the five formation radiance screens erupted with even more terrifying formation power, shaking Elder Bai back step by step.
"How is this possible?!" Elder Bai couldn't help but roar.
The crowd's hearts were also filled with dread. These five Formations could actually repel an Advanced Void God! They were too terrifying!
"No way, how can these five Formations be so formidable? Even an Advanced Void God was forced back! That means we're trapped here and can't escape, doesn't it?" Many people cried out in despair.
"Has everyone noticed? These five Formations seem to be drawing energy from underground for replenishment. Could it be there are treasures or energy crystal ore veins beneath this city's ground?" Someone also noticed that the energy source of those five Formations seemed to be under the city.
"Ah! Not good! A few more invisible symbols have drilled into my body! They're devouring my flesh and blood! This city is very strange. We can't stay inside any longer; we must find a way to escape immediately!" Suddenly, someone cried out in panic, their face twisted in pain.
"There are also many invisible, bizarre symbols around my body, seemingly trying to drill inside. Damn it, what exactly are these?" More and more people felt strange symbols in the surrounding space drilling into their flesh.
Almost everyone started panicking, and the situation grew even more chaotic.
"It seems these five Formations are using the Divine Meridians beneath this city's ground as their energy source. That's why they've retained such formidable formation power even after the passage of such a long time. Because the Divine Meridians beneath the city ground will replenish the energy these five Formations consume at any moment," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"No, I must break through the Formation quickly and rush out."
Ye Yunfei felt more and more bizarre, invisible symbols appearing around his body. These symbols kept trying to drill into his flesh and devour his blood.
However, Ye Yunfei's physical strength was exceptionally powerful. Coupled with the eight Chaos Divine Meridians within his body and the four massive golden light spheres in his dantian erupting with powerful defensive capability, they resisted those invisible symbols.
Especially Ye Yunfei's physical strength; with just a slight shake, he could exert powerful pressure on the surrounding space, allowing him to temporarily withstand those invisible symbols.
"Lord Yin has arrived!"
Right at that moment, someone shouted excitedly.
Ye Yunfei immediately saw a familiar figure swiftly approaching the city gate—it was Lord Yin from the Guardian Faction.
"Lord Yin, the situation is a bit dire. Five ancient Formations have suddenly appeared here, sealing the city gate and blocking the way out."
Immediately, over twenty Deities from the Guardian Faction clustered around Lord Yin, telling him about the events at the city gate.
Following that, several more Advanced Void Gods rushed out from within the city one after another. Seeing the arrival of these Advanced Void Gods, everyone felt they had found a temporary backbone and flocked around these Advanced Void Gods, begging them to think of a solution.
"All of you, quiet down! Given the current circumstances, our only choice is to pool our strength and break these five Formations together," said an Advanced Void God whose body was suffused with dazzling law radiance. He examined the five ancient Formations and spoke in a low, serious voice.
This Advanced Void God used a special type of law energy to wrap and conceal his body tightly. No one could make out his true appearance clearly.
"Indeed. We must join forces and break these five Formations together, and leave this city," Lord Yin from the Guardian Faction nodded.
The other Advanced Void Gods shared the same opinion.
"Now, everyone compose yourselves. Pool the power of everyone present and attack the Formations together," an Advanced Void God declared loudly.
With these Advanced Void Gods taking charge, everyone else quieted down.
"Follow orders! Break through the Formations together!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, led by those Advanced Void Gods, everyone struck together. Waves of frenzied attacks whistled like torrential rain towards the five ancient Formations at the city gate.
Rumble rumble…
The five ancient Formations erupted instantly as well, unleashing mighty formation power in retaliation.
By now, the number of people gathered at the city gate had reached several hundred, and most of them were Deities. An attack launched by so many Deities was of course incredibly powerful.
However, to everyone's shock, despite such a multitude of Deities attacking together, the five ancient Formations merely swayed gently. For now, there was no sign they could be broken.
"Damned things, how can these five Formations be so sturdy?" Everyone watched, secretly clicking their tongues.
"It seems many Deities from other Voids have entered the True Phoenix Tomb this time. At least several hundred," Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing such a large number of Deities.
"The True Phoenix Tomb is the headquarters location of the True Phoenix Divine Clan, an ancient powerful race. Once the news spread, it was bound to attract many people to come exploring and searching for treasures," Ye Yunfei replied.
Right at that moment, a trace of pleasant surprise appeared on Ye Yunfei's face. Because he now had a certain understanding of these five Formations and believed he could force his way out. Of course, wanting to break these five ancient Formations was utterly impossible in a short time.
"What are the two of you chatting leisurely about at a time like this? The most important thing now is to figure out how to break these five ancient Formations and escape. This city has already been set up; someone has laid down a large number of bizarre, flesh-devouring symbol-based restrictions here. Now, those strange symbol restrictions have all been activated and are presumably invading the bodies of every living being in the city.
Also, I sense there should be other dangers appearing in the city," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm spoke up.
"Don't worry. Although I don't have the ability to break these five Formations, getting out shouldn't be difficult," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Oh, really? It seems you've gained some insight into those five ancient Formations. Then why are you still waiting? Hurry and get us out," Hearing this, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was overjoyed.
"Alright. We'll go now. I also feel this city is getting more and more dangerous," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Right then, those Advanced Void Gods had just led all the Deities in completing one round of attacks. They were in an interlude between strikes, everyone resting.
Some were taking pills to replenish energy; some were taking out more magical treasures; some were circulating their qi to regulate their breathing.
Many others were circulating their energy to resist the strange symbols invading their bodies, as these symbols were devouring their flesh and blood.
Quite a few people whose strength was relatively weak were unable to resist the invading symbols. Their flesh and blood were being rapidly devoured, and they were emitting wretched screams. Some even started rolling on the ground.
This made everyone even more anxious, wishing they could charge out of the city immediately.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, and he walked directly towards the five ancient Formations at the city gate. Both hands were already gripping a Formation Flag.
"Look! What's that kid trying to do?" Everyone was stunned when they saw Ye Yunfei’s actions. Then someone yelled out.
"When we were pooling our strength to break the Formations just now, this kid stood on the side and didn't move at all. Now what does he want to do?" someone said.
"Exactly. When we all attacked the Formations together just now, this kid didn't participate at all. He was slacking off on the side. He can't possibly intend to face those five ancient Formations by himself now, can he? He has no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth! He's seeking death!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei keep walking towards those five ancient Formations, everyone expressed shock and confusion, discussing and gossiping.
"It's that little bastard Ye Yunfei!" People from major factions like the Guardian Faction, the Dark Faction, and the Heavenly God Hall immediately recognized Ye Yunfei.
