An unimaginable pressure pressed down on them, as if this mountain-like monster was not standing in front of them, but instead pressing down on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.
What was even more terrifying was that at some point, sharp stone pillars had grown out of this Stone Golem’s body, like thorns, and its entire body was emitting an evil flame.
“Stone Flame!” Mi Qi’s eyes narrowed as he recognized some traces from the aura emitted by his Embodiment.
However, why would Stone Flame appear here? He had heard many years ago that there was a Holy Spirit Stone Flame in the Wild Ancient Land of the Eastern Region, and it had even destroyed a Black Tortoise Sect. He didn’t know if it was the one in front of him, but what made him even more puzzled was when did Stone Flame become so large?
The Holy Spirit’s information was public, so as long as one wanted to, anyone could collect a thing or two about it, so Mi Qi wasn’t unfamiliar with Stone Flame, it was just that he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes. According to what he knew, even if Stone Flame had some kind of Secret Technique that allowed it to shrink in size, it was absolutely impossible for it to become so large.
What he didn’t know was that this Stone Flame in front of him was actually a Stone Puppet that had once swallowed a floating continent. Although it had used the Heavens Devourer Battle Law to refine all the impurities, if his Embodiment wanted to, it could become even larger, so what if it was four or five hundred meters?
Yang Kai’s 25 Zhang (83m) dragon body could only lift his shoes in front of it.
As the roar died down, the Embodiment's eyes became wide and fierce, like a fierce King Kong staring down at its prey.
A fist that was even bigger than a palace clenched tightly as it bent its arm and smashed downwards. Before the attack even arrived, a piercing sound rang out.
Mi Qi’s expression changed greatly, no longer as calm as before.
Full Sky Sect’s Sect Protection Array was indeed extraordinary. With him personally presiding over it, it would be able to resist the attacks of the three Monster Kings without suffering any damage, but facing such a fierce attack from such a huge monster, he had no confidence at all.
In this world, most Spirit Arrays could be broken through with brute force, but if they couldn’t be broken through, it meant that their strength was insufficient.
Mi Qi couldn’t imagine how powerful this massive stone fire was, nor did he dare to imagine it. In a hurry, he waved the flag in his hand again, sending out a stream of profound light that struck the light curtain of the grand formation, causing it to shine even more brilliantly.
Boom…
As the Embodiment’s fist smashed down, the entire Full Sky Sect shook and countless houses collapsed in an instant. Dust flew everywhere as figures flew up into the sky. When they saw the giant figure in the distance, all of them were dumbstruck.
Although Full Sky Sect was protected by a Great Array and if the Array was not broken, no one would be able to force their way in, the fist of the Embodiment was the purest form of strength. Even the Sect Protecting Great Array was unable to completely disperse it and instead spread throughout Full Sky Sect.
Some were far away, some were close.
The place where Mi Qi and the others stood was even more terrifying. When that giant fist smashed down, everyone couldn’t help feeling that the sky had collapsed.
The power from the void transformed into a shockwave that sent sand and stone flying in all directions.
* Pu pu pu… * A series of muffled sounds rang out as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Some of the Full Sky Sect disciples with weaker cultivations had been reduced to dust by the invisible shockwave and exploded into a bloody mist on the spot. Only cultivators at the Principle Source Stage and above were able to survive, but their faces were pale and their eyes filled with shock.
Mi Qi’s face turned pale with fright. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the lives of some of the disciples with low cultivations. His eyes were focused on a spot on the Great Array’s light curtain, where the Celestial Body’s fist had struck. The seemingly impregnable Great Array’s light curtain had actually cracked open countless tiny cracks that spread out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it had already extended several hundred meters.
Mi Qi was shocked. Although he had long known that the strength of this monster’s fist was not to be underestimated, he had never expected it to be so violent.
Was this the power that Stone Flame could display? Stone Flame didn’t seem to specialize in strength.
Seeing the monster raise its fist again, Mi Qi didn’t dare hesitate and quickly waved the flag in his hand, sending out a stream of Emperor Qi.
The shaking light curtain gradually stabilized, and the cracks that appeared gradually disappeared under his efforts. Before he could even catch his breath, the second punch had already landed.
This punch didn’t seem to have landed on Full Sky Sect’s Sect Protection Array, but rather on Mi Qi’s heart, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine as he suddenly felt the aura of death.
The same situation occurred again. The entire Full Sky Sect violently shook as more buildings collapsed. Fortunately, Mi Qi’s Emperor Realm masters were able to resist the shockwave, allowing the weaker disciples to remain unharmed.
Crack…
A crisp sound rang out as the newly repaired Great Array’s light curtain began to crack again. Compared to before, this time it was more concentrated and extended even further. Mi Qi was scared out of his wits and once again waved the array flag to stabilize the Great Array.
The Celestial Body raised its fist again, causing him to feel despair. The Sect Protecting Array he was so proud of seemed to be unable to shield the Full Sky Sect from the wind and rain. It could be said that ninety percent of the world’s Spirit Arrays were unable to withstand such a bombardment.
He roared, “Elders, help me!”
As soon as this voice rang out, the Emperor Realm masters behind him seemed to wake up from a dream. One by one, they hurriedly took out their array flags, all of which were used to control the Sect’s Grand Array. However, the one Mi Qi was holding was the Main Array Flag, while the one in their hands was a Branch Array Flag.
Everyone’s expressions had never been so serious before, and as they waved their Array Flags, a dim light flashed across the light barrier of the Grand Array, slowly repairing it.
The Embodiment shook its head. The fact that its two fists had failed to break the Spirit Array seemed to make it somewhat angry. Suddenly, it clapped its hands together, raised them high, and smashed them down.
Couldn’t block it, definitely couldn’t!
Although the attack had yet to arrive, whether it was Mi Qi or the Emperor Realm Elders and Protectors, all of them had this thought in their hearts, a feeling that came from their instincts.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When the Embodiment’s third strike landed, the shaking Spirit Array barrier suddenly froze, and with the two fists as the center, dense cracks spread out in all directions.
Under the horrified gazes of Full Sky Sect’s disciples, the light barrier shattered.
Sect Protecting Grand Array, break!
A thousand meters away, the three Monster Kings shot forward like lightning, rushing into the group of Emperor Realm from Full Sky Sect in the blink of an eye, not giving them any time to react. Ying Fei was the fastest and led the charge, with Xi Lei and Xie Wuwei following closely behind.
As the sky was filled with claw shadows, the Full Sky Sect’s Emperor Realm masters who had yet to accept the fact that the Great Array had been broken were beaten by Ying Fei, unable to fight back.
The difference in cultivation was obvious. Full Sky Sect only had Mi Qi, a lone 3rd order Emperor Realm master, and if they fought one on one, he might not even be able to defeat Ying Fei, let alone the rest.
Xi Lei’s body flashed with green lightning as he rushed towards Mi Qi, grinning fiercely, “You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, hand over your life!”
Mi Qi tossed the flag in his hand and quickly summoned a steel ring-shaped artifact to fight against Xi Lei, his heart filled with grief and horror.
Xie Wuwei followed closely behind Xi Lei as a giant scorpion phantom appeared behind him, shaking its head and waving its tail. The scorpion’s stinger glowed with a green light and was obviously extremely poisonous. With a shake of its body, a dark green mist burst out and wrapped around four or five Emperor Realm before disappearing in the blink of an eye. A series of exclamations could be heard from inside, but no one knew what was happening.
As soon as the Monster Kings appeared, they took over all of Full Sky Sect’s higher-ups.
Li Jiao raised his arms and shouted, “Kill!”
Although he had come here this time to cheer for Yang Kai, now that things had come to this point, he naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch. In any case, since things had already come to this, it was best to help Yang Kai take down Full Sky Sect.
The group of Elders from Fire Dragon Palace were still in a daze, mainly because the scene in front of them was too difficult to accept.
Full Sky Sect and Fire Dragon Palace were both top Sects in the North Region and had both stood strong for tens of thousands of years, but now Yang Kai had easily broken through their Sect’s Grand Array? They had all thought that Yang Kai had only been able to destroy the Asking Passion Sect because of luck, but who would have thought that the Asking Passion Sect’s group would run to Ice Heart Valley to seek death?
But now it seemed that it was just their wishful thinking.
Full Sky Sect’s Great Array had been broken so easily. If Fire Dragon Palace and High Heaven Palace were to become enemies, their fate would not be any better.
Everyone had originally thought that Li Jiao’s act of following Yang Kai’s lead was somewhat undermining their own prestige, but now it seemed that it wasn’t because the Palace Master was too cautious and incompetent, but rather because he had foresight.
Hearing Li Jiao’s shout, all of them came to their senses and hurriedly chased after him.
If they were asked to fight against Full Sky Sect head-on, they might not be willing to do so, but they could still beat up a drowning dog.
Everyone from Full Sky Sect was instantly filled with grievances. The three Monster Kings had already completely suppressed them, and now Li Jiao was leading a group of Emperor Realm who were no weaker than them to join the battle. How could they possibly win?
In the blink of an eye, they were completely suppressed, each and every one of the Emperor Realm vomiting blood as they fell to the ground.
Mi Qi roared with grief and indignation, “Li Jiao, I will never forgive you!”
It was one thing for Yang Kai to deal with him, but for a wolf to have such wild ambitions, Li Jiao’s interference was truly difficult to accept.
Li Jiao sent out a palm strike to kill one of Full Sky Sect’s Elders and coldly snorted, “Mi Qi, a wise man submits to the circumstances. It’s not too late to lower your head to Palace Master Yang now, otherwise I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”
“In your dreams!” Mi Qi clenched his teeth and roared.
The main thing was that he still had a trump card he had yet to use, so when he saw Xi Lei coming towards him, he borrowed the momentum to fly away and shouted, “Old Tao, save me!”
On a nearby mountain peak, Old Tao, whose hair and beard were all white, was speechless. He had only come here to eat some fruits and drink some wine, but now he had encountered such a situation. If he still couldn’t guess Mi Qi’s intentions, he would have lived so many years in vain.
However, as the saying goes, one’s mouth is too short while one’s hands are too soft. For so many years, Mi Qi had been quite polite to him. Every year, when the Blue Jade Fruit ripened, he would invite him to come over. It was fine if he didn’t encounter such a thing, but if he did, it would be somewhat unreasonable to just stand by and watch.
What’s more, Mi Qi had already spoken, so it would be too much for him to act ignorant.
Letting out a long sigh, Old Tao stepped forward and floated over.
