From Fang Xiaoyu stopping, to the ten thousand thunderbolts flashing away, and then to the three powerful figures attacking, it was all a matter of an instant.
A fiery red life flame spewed from the mouth of the Molten Giant Phoenix, a pale blue Netherworld Cold Flame attacked from the hand of Xi Ren Yuan Jun, and a pink Heart Fire, along with the fan danced by Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu, formed a fiery tornado that rapidly collided with Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu himself, his eyes beneath the mask quickly turned white, his twin swords swung out, and a violent gale swept towards the three.
*Boom!*
The gale blew onto the three flames, and under the fierce attack, the three flames immediately rolled back, engulfing the three powerful figures in an instant.
Fang Xiaoyu had no time to look closely; his back wings spread, and he charged upwards.
The three powerful figures dispersed the flames, only to find that Fang Xiaoyu's figure was already gone. At that moment, they heard the mournful howl of the wind from above.
The three looked up abruptly and saw ten thousand thunderbolts descending from the sky, with a formation covering a radius of dozens of miles clutched in his hand.
The formation resembled an inverted bowl, its entire body flowing with emerald waves, immeasurably profound. Before the three powerful figures could react, it was directly pressed down from above, striking the ground.
In an instant, dust flew everywhere, and a grand formation was firmly pressed down around the three powerful figures, trapping them within.
"Hmph, now we can catch a turtle in a jar."
Wan Lei sneered, crouching on the upper part of the formation, pressing down with both hands. The dao rhymes of the formation shifted in his hands, beginning to stabilize the formation's foundation.
His formation was not particularly powerful. In fact, the more powerful the formation, the longer the time needed for stabilization, even if it was set up in advance and stored in a formation bead. He had to start with a simple one, stabilize it, and then plan for other things.
"What is this monstrosity?"
Xi Ren Yuan Jun frowned, raising a hand to throw a fireball. It struck the formation with a *boom*, and the formation shook a few times but was not broken.
In fact, in many worlds, there are no formations, and people do not understand them, such as in this small world.
In the Golden Immortal secret realm that Wan Lei was heading to, the Moral Plane from fifty thousand years ago, although there were no formations, there were things like barriers that could protect and suppress cities, but barriers were different from formations.
Xi Ren Yuan Jun and the others had never seen a formation, so they naturally could not use formation dao arts to break it. However, they could see that they were trapped.
The Molten Giant Phoenix let out a cry and soared into the air, charging headfirst into the formation.
*Boom!!!*
With another earth-shattering roar, Wan Lei, who was controlling the formation, was immediately backlashed by the terrifying force.
Wan Lei accelerated the speed of stabilizing the formation's foundation.
"Damn it, what is this thing? With that brat's mere strength, how could he possibly suppress all of us!"
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu had lost all her seductive demeanor, her brows furrowed. Looking at the formation above, she didn't know what to do.
"Hmph, 'mere strength'? Back then, who was it that was scared away?"
Xi Ren Yuan Jun still did not forget to mock her old rival.
"I was fighting you then, and I was severely injured, so I couldn't take risks easily.
Besides, should I not have been scared away by Li Mei Xian? I hadn't inherited the complete Heart Fire back then."
"Heh, you knew that old man was Li Mei Xian back then?"
"You..."
"Enough, stop quarreling."
The Molten Giant Phoenix swept its cold gaze over the two women.
"Now is not the time for internal strife. This brat's methods are strange. He's clearly not very strong, but he has a treasure that can suppress us.
If we don't work together now to break this monstrosity, I fear all three of us will be unable to escape death, and ultimately be of service to Li Mei Xian."
"Li Mei Xian? Heh, is he worthy?"
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu snorted coldly.
"Then look at what he's doing now."
Xi Ren Yuan Jun pointed into the distance.
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu turned her head and her expression changed dramatically.
At that moment, the old man had arrived beside the large fireball in the middle of the battlefield.
That was the Sacred Fire inheritance.
He had already begun to comprehend it.
"Heh heh, their three are well-prepared and have clear divisions of labor. Two brats are responsible for holding us back, and Li Mei Xian is going to inherit the Sacred Fire.
After he completes the inheritance, he'll come back and finish us three.
It's truly a masterful plan."
Xi Ren Yuan Jun sneered.
"They deliberately provoked us and attracted us from the very beginning to create an opportunity for Li Mei Xian to inherit the Sacred Fire. We've all fallen for it."
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu was an expert in manipulating people's hearts, but now she had been manipulated by someone else. This was a great humiliation!
"Those two brats... I must kill them!"
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu's eyes burned with rage, and she gritted her teeth. These two had repeatedly ruined her affairs, how could she let them off lightly!
"Heh, so much nonsense. Let's quickly think of a way to get rid of this thing."
"Burn it! With brute force, all methods are broken. I don't believe that something from such an ant can be that strong, can it withstand the burning of all three of us?!"
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu roared, raising her hand. A pillar of fire shot out from her fan, directly at Wan Lei above.
The pink flame was intercepted by the formation, and Wan Lei had already begun to set up the second formation.
He intended to use a massive number of formations to trap these three until Li Mei Xian completed the inheritance.
This was the most reliable method.
As for killing the enemy, Wan Lei was not so arrogant as to believe that with his own strength, he could kill three tribulation-passing cultivators.
Even with formations, it was not possible.
The Fire Phoenix also opened its mouth and spewed a pillar of fire, burning the formation along with Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu.
Seeing that they had both attacked, Xi Ren Yuan Jun did not want to hold back and immediately unleashed her Netherworld Cold Flame pillar to attack the formation.
Three pillars of fire with completely different colors and attributes struck the formation, and Wan Lei immediately felt his formation becoming unstable.
The Fire Phoenix also naturally felt that after Xi Ren Yuan Jun joined the battle, the formation was being dissolved at an extremely fast rate.
Thus, the Fire Phoenix immediately spoke,
"Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu, focus on dealing with the person outside and ignite his Heart Fire, preventing him from controlling this thing with all his might.
Xi Ren Yuan Jun, your Netherworld Cold Flame burns everything, burn this thing with all your strength."
Bu Zhi Huo Qing Wu did not say anything upon hearing this and immediately looked at Wan Lei. The invisible Heart Fire dao rhyme passed through Wan Lei's formation and armor, directly burning within his heart.
Xi Ren Yuan Jun, however, hesitated for a moment. She worried that if she consumed too much, she would be at a disadvantage in the subsequent battle of the three powerful figures.
The Fire Phoenix naturally saw through her thoughts and immediately became enraged.
"Now is not the time to conserve strength. It's no longer about who can obtain the inheritance in the end, but whether we can still stay alive!"
