"I have to thank you for dealing with Wen Jian. I have long seen him as an eyesore. It''s so refreshing to see him being beaten like this." Du Shoushan said with a faint smile.


    "You might be surprised why we could hide from your Spiritual Sense, right?" Du Shoushan was extremely rxed as if he had long treated Yun Lintian as a passerby.


    Yun Lintian frowned deeply. His pupils instantly turned golden, and the first thing that came into his vision was a dense dark aura flowing out in the world''s core direction.


    The dark aura was highly intense and massive, as if every bit of the dark energy in the world was concentrated here.


    Yun Lintian immediately thought of something and subconsciously nced at the calm Du Xiaotian.


    Du Xiaotian''s gaze met with Yun Lintian''s. A smile gradually emerged on his lips as he said. "It seems you know it already."


    As his voice fell, an eerie ck mist gradually seeped out of Du Xiaotian''s body. Two ck-as-ink mes lit up in his eyes, making him look like a creature from a dark abyss.


    At the same time, his aura constantly surged from the early level of the Divine Ascending Tribtion Realm to the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm directly.


    "Hehehe… Fortunately, Supreme Lord Mo Tian''s avatar left a dark pool here before leaving. Otherwise, I would need to take a lot of detours to release my power." Du Xiaotian said with faintughter. His usually calm voice now became several times deeper.


    Du Shoushan, Xing Tengfei, and Xing Renshu didn''t seem surprised about the sudden change in Du Xiaotian. Without a doubt, they had already known about his true identity. And the reason they came together was that they had somehow made an agreement.


    Buzz—


    All of a sudden, the entire space was covered with a pitched-ck barrier, sealing the heavens and earth.


    Yun Lintian could feel his Divine Sense was being limited within this ck space, unable to spread further.


    At the same time, the divine energy inside his body slowly became stagnated, as if it was forcibly pressed down by something.


    "Yun Lintian, oh, Yun Lintian. In the end, you are still a na?ve young man." Du Xiaotian said with a chuckle.


    "Supreme Lord Mo Tian''s vision is surely unmatched. He had long predicted you would solve all the enemies ande here. That was why he prepared this Nine Hells Formation for you."


    "Are you ready to receive the gift?"


    Instantly, darkness red as a fountain of blood immediately geyser out from where Yun Lintian stood. Countless skeleton hands protruded out of the ground along with miserable cries, searching for Yun Lintian.


    In a split second, the entire space was ultimately turned into an abyss of hell!


    Yun Lintian''s expression sank. He didn''t hesitate to brandish the Heaven Piercing Sword downward, sting all the skeleton hands away.


    At the same time, the Vermilion Bird mes were wildly dancing around his body, burning all the eerie aura and the dark blood away.


    "Don''t forget that he has spatial power." Xing Tengfei couldn''t help reminding everyone upon seeing Yun Lintian effortlessly destroy everything around him.


    "Hmph! This is just the beginning." Du Xiaotian said coldly. He raised his palm slightly, and a ck light shed.


    "Uwaaaah!"


    Suddenly, shrill cries of countless babies abruptly resounded, filling the entire space.


    At the same time, countless tiny corpses slowly emerged from the ground. When Yun Lintian nced at them, his expression immediately froze as they were undoubtedly the corpses of little kids.


    "How is it? I have been collecting them for all these years. Looks nice, right?" Du Xiaotian grinned evilly.


    Yun Lintian immediately understood why Du Xiaotian always abducted countless children for these thousands of years.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His heart was instantly filled with a me of fury. The Vermilion Bird mes around him abruptly burst out, sweeping all the tiny corpses and reducing them into ashes.


    Du Xiaotian''s eyes narrowed slightly. He spread his arms wide, and a vortex of darkness immediately appeared around Yun Lintian.


    "Help me…"


    "I want to kill you…"


    "Where are you, mom? I''m afraid…"


    Inside the vortex, countless skeletons could be seen wailing and cursing. Each word from them produced a powerful resentment to pierce into Yun Lintian''s soul.


    Yun Lintian''s mind was instantly filled with multiple emotions—despair, anger, and sorrow. His divine energy inside his body immediately fell into chaos, and the Vermilion Bird mes around him gradually receded.


    "As expected. His soul is not powerful." Du Xiaotian said with an evil smile.


    Swoosh!


    Seeing this scene, Xing Tengfei and Du Shoushan quickly moved. Their aura surged to the fullest as they held nothing back from attacking Yun Lintian.


    Yun Lintian was instantly surrounded by a massive, lethal energy st enough to reduce him into piles of meat.


    However, before the intense st could hit him, Yun Lintian''s eyes abruptly regained rity. At the same time, he opened his mouth and let out a deafening tiger''s cry.


    Roar—


    The tiger''s cry contained boundless rage practically shook the entire space, causing the souls of countless living beings on the Central Continent to tremble in fear.


    Under the mighty roar, the ck vortex and the energy st from Du Shoushan and Xing Tengfei were blown away directly.


    Among them, Xing Tengfei seemed to predict this move from Yun Lintian beforehand. The moment he saw Yun Lintian''s eyes be clearer, he didn''t hesitate to divert his divine energy and st himself toward the spatial tunnel.


    In that instant, Xing Yongnian appeared behind Xing Tengfei and released his power to the maximum, sending themselves into the spatial under Du Shoushan''s incredible gaze.


    "Where are you going?"


    Just as the two of them could enter the tunnel, Yun Lintian''s cold and emotionless voice resounded in their ears. The space around them was also distorted, confining the two of them in ce.


    Xing Tengfei''s expression darkened. His entire body emitted a brilliant starlight as he shouted. "Break for me!"


    The space shook violently, and the space confinement around him loosened immediately.


    Xing Tengfei used this chance to st himself into the tunnel with Xing Yongnian.


    "Sess!" Xing Yongnian roared with joy the moment he entered the tunnel.


    Before he could look around, Yun Lintian''s cold voice suddenly resounded once again.


    "Really?"


    Booooom—


    In that instant, a terrifying space turbulence sted over, tearing Xing Yongnian and Xing Tengfei apart. All their protective artifacts instantly exploded without a chance to perform their duties…
