Chapter 97: Watching the Show

"Let's hope this Saint King Grade formation works!" The Radiant Light Holy Lord stood in the void, gazing at the Great Wilderness City.

A cold intent flickered in his eyes, and the surrounding space twisted as the silent pressure of a Saint surged.

"Don't get too confident," a shadowy figure whispered.

No one could accurately describe the strength of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and speculations about the power of a Saint were mere guesses.

Anyone who had encountered the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion kept silent about his true strength.

His power remained an enigma.

"True, but how do we know if we don't try?" Radiant Light Holy Lord retorted.

"What I'm worried about now is whether the Pavilion Master knows about us setting up the formation here," the shadowy figure said in a hushed tone.

"And he's just watching the show," the dark figure uttered these words and said no more.

At present, their formation was progressing smoothly, unaffected by any interference.

There were two possibilities.

Either the Pavilion Master's strength was insufficient, and he was unaware of their presence, or he knew their actions but pretended not to see.

If it was the latter, it was a bit frightening.

Knowing their every move and not intervening indicated that the Saint King Grade formation might be useless against him.

It made them feel like jesters, with the Pavilion Master as the spectator.

"Impossible!" Radiant Light Holy Lord shook his head.

"I hope so," the shadowy figure said ambiguously.

While the two conversed, the five individuals arranging the formation shouted a cold command.

They slapped their palms, and a mysterious symbol appeared in each of their hands.

These symbols imprinted the void, as if five radiant suns had blossomed.

A network of lines extended, intertwining in the void, sweeping across thousands of miles.

Simultaneously, the earlier set foundation of the formation emitted a soft hum, establishing a connection.

It was like an invisible giant web unfurling, completely reversing the heavens and earth.

The vast universe instantly turned into a crimson sea, as if a hellish purgatory had descended upon the mortal realm.

The terrifying formation, at this moment, bared its fangs.

Scarlet symbols, faintly visible in the void, accompanied by a drizzling blood-colored rain, stained the earth crimson.

"Exterminate!" one of the elders exclaimed.

He raised his hand, forming a hand seal.

The entire formation roared to life.

A boundless sea of blood surged, engulfing everything in its path.

Mountains collapsed and dissolved as the blood-water corroded everything.

This blood formation, even a Saint King plunging into it would find it hard to escape death.

The scene was a sight to behold.

Only within the formation could one truly feel the terror it wrought.

"It seems the situation is set," Radiant Light Holy Lord confidently declared.

At this point, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion remained silent. If the Pavilion Master knew anything, he should have taken action by now.

He wouldn't wait until this moment.

Radiant Light Holy Lord glanced at the elder, saying calmly, "Please stay behind to deal with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion later."

For a specialized task, a specialist is required.

His understanding of formations is limited, and when it comes to manipulating them, he knows even less.

The five individuals before him are experts in setting up formations, clearly more knowledgeable than himself.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured," the elder chuckled.

Taking someone's money to solve their problems was a small matter.

When the blood sea engulfs everything later, leaving behind only the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it would be a trivial affair.

…

"What's going on?" A thousand miles away from the Great Wilderness City, a flying boat violently swayed in the void.

Even individuals with overwhelming cultivation were standing unsteadily at this moment, as if bearing a mountain on their backs.

It seemed as if they would be pressed into the boundless sea of blood below.

Shaking, the face of the Scarlet Flame Holy Lord turned pale.

Looking around, his mind sank to the bottom.

His voice hoarse, he said, "There's actually a formation here!"

Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary formation.

It was likely a Saint King Grade formation.

Being only at the Holy Lord level himself, with only his disciple behind him, how could they possibly withstand such a terrifying formation?

A strand of killing intent made his body crack, on the verge of annihilation.

"Master, what should we do?" The Scarlet Flame Holy Son rushed over anxiously, asking.

"I…" Scarlet Flame Holy Lord spoke.

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderous sound echoed through the void. It was as if a tattered cloth had been violently shaken, causing even the heavens and earth to tremble, like a major earthquake had occurred.

The boundless sea of blood below surged, and at this moment, the heavens and earth crumbled, and an endless killing intent enveloped the flying boat.

No one could resist it.

Almost simultaneously, the Scarlet Flame Holy Son collapsed to the ground.

Although the Scarlet Flame Holy Lord was still slightly better off, he wasn't in a good state either.

His soul trembled as if facing a Saint King, filled with immense fear.

"Fellow Daoist who is setting up a formation here. I am the Holy Lord of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land. We didn't intend to provoke you. Please spare us a way out!" The Scarlet Flame Holy Lord shouted loudly.

Previously, there had been no mention of a formation here.

Otherwise, the Great Wilderness City would have long ceased to exist.

The sudden appearance of one meant that someone had just arranged it.

He believed that by revealing his identity as the Holy Lord of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land, the person setting up the formation would give them some face.

However, the result left him disappointed.

No one responded.

Boom!

Just at that moment, a tremendous pressure, accompanied by a surging blood wave, covered the sky and sun.

It crashed down from above, and in an instant, the divine boat capsized.

The Scarlet Flame Holy Lord and his disciple, without even a miserable cry, were dragged into the depths of the blood sea.
