"Have all the experts in the Holy City withdraw. Do not approach the God Slaying Formation unless absolutely necessary!"
Gu Tongtian's voice echoed as he retreated, even as an eighth-stage Heaven Lord, he dared not act recklessly in the face of heavenly tribulation, lest he court his own demise.
Both the God Slaying Formation and the heavenly tribulation exuded terrifying might. Should their energies collide, it would inevitably unleash boundless chaos.
Rumble...
With a roar, the thunder tribulation in the sky surged, appearing quite fearsome. It struck the formation of the God Slaying Formation directly.
Sensing such a fluctuation, the God Slaying Formation began to counterattack, its powerful aftershocks instantly surging outwards, waves upon waves.
Thousands of miles away from the Holy City, the immense fluctuation could be felt, potent enough to stir the populace and inspire awe.
Within the God Slaying Formation, everyone was shielded, untouched by the heavenly tribulation, appearing calm.
"What is going on?" the City Lord of Wushuang wondered in surprise.
"To withstand the heavenly tribulation, all the power of the God Slaying Formation has been concentrated at a single point, and will not harm us!" Emperor Bai explained. "This is truly a joyous occasion. We were destined for oblivion, but now we have a chance to begin anew!"
His words left everyone perplexed, as they hadn't expected the God Slaying Formation to contend with the heavenly tribulation.
Outside the God Slaying Formation, numerous experts from the Holy City hastily retreated, their eyes filled with trepidation. They could never have imagined such a powerful aftershock.
That single aftershock alone had injured many experts of the Holy City. If it continued, it would surely cause an upheaval.
The people from the Four Cities, within the God Slaying Formation, remained remarkably serene. Protected by the formation, even the heavenly tribulation could not touch them, bringing a sense of peace.
Lu Fan sat cross-legged, his aura reaching its zenith. He seemed to have broken through to the Heaven Lord realm, appearing ethereal, unlike an ordinary person.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was touched, their hearts stirred. They hadn't expected such a turn of events.
"You're undergoing tribulation, kid, but it seems you're doing fine!"
The City Lord of Xueluo looked at Lu Fan with a meaningful gaze.
"I wish I could undergo tribulation, but I don't have the opportunity!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "The heavenly tribulation has been blocked by the God Slaying Formation, so I can only wait for it to descend!"
"What do you think is more powerful, the God Slaying Formation or this heavenly tribulation?"
The City Lord of Xueluo smiled faintly. "I'm quite interested!"
"Heavenly tribulation is the origin of heaven and earth; naturally, the heavenly tribulation is more powerful!"
Lu Fan stated directly. "The might of this heavenly tribulation is no small matter!"
The City Lord of Xueluo nodded slightly at his words. "I actually think so too. The power of heavenly tribulation is indeed unparalleled!"
Boom...
As they conversed, a booming sound erupted. With this sound, everyone felt their bodies tremble, their entire beings stirred.
"I truly didn't expect the power of the thunder tribulation to be so terrifying!"
Emperor Bai exclaimed. "Without the protection of the God Slaying Formation, we would likely have met a tragic end!"
"This is my tribulation, not yours!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "If there were no God Slaying Formation, I would face the thunder tribulation!"
At his words, everyone nodded, finding his statement quite agreeable.
Rumble rumble...
As they were talking, the thunder tribulation from the sky descended once more, appearing utterly terrifying. As it passed, it carried an endless aura that caused everyone to tremble.
Sensing such a thunderous aura, everyone was filled with worry. The God Slaying Formation was no trivial matter; if it were breached by the thunder tribulation, even they would be endangered by the slightest carelessness.
"What do we do? The God Slaying Formation seems unable to hold on!"
Elder Bei spoke, his brow furrowed, his expression grave.
"After the God Slaying Formation concludes, I will personally deal with them!"
Gu Tongtian's eyes flashed with coldness. From the very beginning, he had intended for everyone to perish.
The method was merely different. However, he would not flinch from anything that the God Slaying Formation could not achieve.
With another deafening roar, smoke billowed within the God Slaying Formation, and everyone hastily retreated. Now that the formation was activated, there was no need for further concern.
Witnessing this scene, everyone's expressions grew solemn. They could clearly feel the aura of the God Slaying Formation fading.
"It's finally over!"
Elder Bei said, a slight curve to his lips. "City Lord, it seems it's our turn next!"
"Well said!"
The City Lord of the Holy City nodded slightly, a smile gracing his lips. Everything was within his control; no one could escape his laws.
At the same time, many experts from the Four Cities had safely exited the God Slaying Formation, their expressions not looking particularly good.
Having been confined within the God Slaying Formation had been a great humiliation for them.
Now that they were safe, they would not let it rest.
Not far from the God Slaying Formation, Lu Fan sat cross-legged, absorbing the final vestiges of the thunder tribulation, his expression turning indifferent.
"It truly exceeds my expectations that you could emerge alive!" Gu Tongtian said with a smile. "But what does it matter if you emerge? Won't you die in the end? What is the use of all the meaningless things you've done?"
"That remains to be seen!"
The City Lord of Xueluo narrowed his eyes. "Until we have fought, how can you conclude that we are bound to die?"
"Ridiculous!"
The City Lord of the Holy City spoke coldly. "If I say you will die, then you must die. No one can defy my will, especially in this Primordial World. You are all my pawns!"
"Do you truly believe you are invincible in this Primordial World?"
The City Lord of Xueluo sneered. "You fail to realize that there are always greater powers. Many things are not as simple as you think!"
"Why speak further? Let us fight!"
The City Lord of Xueluo said coldly, leaping forward with a powerful gust of wind.
Sensing such an aura, the City Lord of the Holy City let out a laugh, completely disregarding it, and spoke coldly. "With just you? You wish to fight me?"
"It's not just me, it's everyone!" The City Lord of Xueluo's voice was icy, carrying a potent aura.
The other individuals did not hold back and unleashed their attacks, appearing exceptionally formidable.
Seeing this scene, many were deeply moved. This battle today would likely lay the foundation for the entire Primordial World.
