At the same time, a cacophony of tiger roars and beast howls erupted. A ferocious pressure emanated from the entire plaza. As numerous Chu family members formed hand seals, beams of light shot up into the sky from the vast square.
A dazzling radiance suddenly appeared in mid-air, enveloping the entire plaza. In that instant, the square shimmered with light. It seemed as if countless demonic beasts were roaring and growling, their sounds rolling in, causing one's hair to stand on end.
Under this radiance, the primal energy within the many Chu family members in the plaza was drawn out, causing them to let out tiger roars from the depths of their throats. The sound waves surged, creating a terrifying spectacle.
Following this, a total of over a hundred primeval ancient demons roared from within and outside the Chu family's domain. Their eyes gleamed with ferocity, carrying a bloodthirsty and murderous aura.
"Heh heh, the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Formation. This is our Chu family's most powerful formation. For you, a mere brash youth, to dare to barge into our Chu family is simply seeking death. This Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Formation was personally crafted by the patriarchs of our Chu family throughout the generations, specifically to deal with Martial King realm experts. Today, you have no escape."
Chu Yunxiong sneered gloomily, his gaze fixed on the figure in the sky. Although he had been defeated by the opponent, he believed that under the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Formation, it would be enough to suppress and kill this fellow.
"Hmph, a mere trivial trick. You low-level riffraff, you still dare to try and block me?"
Zhou Yan sneered disdainfully, looking at the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Formation with no fear whatsoever.
The next moment, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and a golden treasure blade shot out. The blade's might tore through the air, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.
As this blade's might shot out, it immediately resembled a golden dragon coiling in the void. A great pressure was unleashed, causing the numerous Chu family disciples surrounding the plaza to tremble all over, their eyes filled with panic.
The blade's might streaked through the air, and space along its path shattered inch by inch. In just a moment, it reached the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Formation. The blade's might descended, tearing open a gap in the entire Chu family's grand formation. This blade's might was overbearing and destructive, and wherever it passed, space cracked.
As the blade's might fell, the plaza floor cracked, and tiles exploded. Figures were sent flying one after another. Some Chu family disciples were even directly crushed into meat paste, sliced in half by the blade's might.
Wherever this blade's might passed, almost all the Chu family disciples were affected. Their bodies exploded, turning into mist of blood that scattered.
At this moment, the over a hundred demonic beasts were ferociously rushing forward, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
"Roar!"
Zhou Yan waved his hand, and a black bear roared behind him, directly crashing into these demonic beasts, shattering them and scattering them into fragments.
"Ah..."
Then, Zhou Yan flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew. These fragments were all blown away, disappearing. The entire plaza immediately returned to a state of calm.
"Swish swish!"
Next, from Zhou Yan's hand, runes shot out, transforming into light, and then suspended in mid-air. Each rune exuded a profound aura, as if containing some kind of special power.
In a short moment, the entire plaza was enveloped by dense light.
"The Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation has been activated."
"Once the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation is activated, even those at the Innate realm cultivation will be hindered, but that brat will also be greatly affected."
"What a powerful grand formation."
Outside the plaza, some people looked on with awe. This grand formation was too powerful. The attack of the young man just now had not managed to harm this grand formation at all.
Within the grand formation, Chu Yunxiong stood in the air, his eyes burning with rage. This brat actually dared to come, causing him to lose face completely.
In the past, Chu Yunxiong had advanced by leaps and bounds, establishing the Chu family. Relying on the Chu family's foundation, he had, in a short period, ascended to the ranks of the eight great families in Emperor City, even gaining considerable fame within Emperor City. He never expected that today, he would be defeated by a mere inexperienced brat.
"Hahahaha, you little bastard, where do you think you can run now? I knew you were extraordinary, but today, you must die." Chu Yunxiong roared, his eyes bloodshot. This was a great humiliation.
As the words fell, Chu Yunxiong formed hand seals, and a palm-sized jade bottle floated before him. Within it, a drop of ink-black medicinal liquid swirled, exuding a dense, sinister aura.
This drop of medicinal liquid swirled as if it had a life of its own. A terrifying, chilling aura spread, causing one's heart to palpitate.
"Go, devour this little bastard." Chu Yunxiong waved his hand, and the jade bottle left his hand, turning into a blur and pouncing directly at Zhou Yan.
The jade bottle spun, like a black hole, releasing a monstrous suction force. The surrounding space immediately rippled violently, and then circles of black halos spread out, directly engulfing Zhou Yan as if trying to devour him.
"Oh."
Sensing these black-hole-like spatial ripples, Zhou Yan was slightly surprised. He secretly marveled that the Chu family was indeed decisive, actually taking out a spiritual artifact.
As the jade bottle spun, the over a hundred demonic beasts also simultaneously raised their heads and roared, each spitting out spheres of scorching flames from their mouths. Fireballs that covered the sky, accompanied by a torrent of poison, converged from all directions, forming a massive fire net that enveloped Zhou Yan.
This fire net exuded a scorching aura, boiling like molten lava, carrying extreme destruction, and shrouding the entire plaza. Within this flame, there was a terrifying corrosiveness. If one touched it, their skin would instantly melt into blood, and their bones would turn to ashes. It was absolutely terrifying.
The surrounding people trembled. Under this terrifying might, everyone's faces turned pale with fear, and they could not help but retreat.
"This is the Chu family's Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation. It is said that a super expert once perished within this formation, leaving no trace of their remains, which is why it is called the 'Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation'. This formation is very bizarre and can kill enemies of a higher realm. Even those at the peak of the Yuan Emperor realm must be wary of it. Legend has it that the Chu family was able to stand for hundreds of years without falling, and even ranked among the top in Emperor City, precisely because of this Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation. This time, the brat should not be able to resist it."
"Yes, the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation is said to have been set up for nearly a thousand years and has never stopped operating. It is rumored that the Chu family's ancestors invited a Grandmaster of Formations to set up this Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation, which is said to be unshakable even by cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of the Yuan Emperor realm."
"It is said that within this grand formation, there are ancient fierce beasts guarding it, which are extraordinary. No matter how powerful that brat is, he cannot escape the range of the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation."
Around the plaza, discussions could be heard, with all eyes fixed on the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Star Grand Formation.
Beast cries and roars could be heard. Over a hundred demonic beasts roared and charged forward. These demonic beasts were all terrifying in strength, all at the Demonic Core realm, with even several reaching the late Demonic Core realm.
