**

A terrifying impact forcefully lifted the entire Black Stone Plaza, which was completely encased by the array, ten meters into the air.

Moments later, under the pull of gravity, it crashed down hard onto the ground!

The violent quake was so intense that even a few people outside the plaza felt a sense of deep fear and alarm.

Unfortunately, even after such a ferocious attack, the blood-red barrier only dimmed slightly—it still showed no signs of breaking.

”Quick! Let’s attack the formation from the outside and try to save them!”

Seeing their teammates trapped inside, those outside shouted anxiously.

Others, who didn’t have anyone trapped inside, instinctively tried to flee the ruins after seeing this terrifying change.

But the moment they looked around, their faces all froze in horror.

There was no exit.

”Let’s help them first! Once they’re out, with more people, we might be able to find a way out!”

Realizing that escape was impossible for now, the crowd all turned to rescue the people trapped within the Black Stone Plaza.

”Everyone attack together! Inside and outside, coordinated strikes!”

Standing before the formation, those outside gestured with hand signs to coordinate with those inside.

Then, the crowd quickly spread out and began unleashing their strongest Dou Techniques.

”Sky-Slaughtering Blade!”

”Sweeping Leg Strike!”

”Flame-Blazing Sword Art!”

In an instant, colorful streams of light burst into the sky and slammed down toward the barrier!

Inside, the trapped group quickly followed suit, unleashing their own Dou Techniques to attack the same targeted spot from within.

Even Xiao Yixian was among them, using the strength of a One-Star Dou Zong to strike the blood-colored screen in front of her.

In that moment, over thirty Dou Zong, more than sixty Dou Huang, and over fifty Dou Wang unleashed their full power—all converging on the same point in the formation!

BOOOOM!!

A world-shaking explosion echoed through the entire ruin.

Under the assault of such overwhelming energy, the surrounding space began to crack apart, unable to bear the distortion. It shattered into countless fragments of translucent space.

Beyond those cracks, a pitch-black void was faintly visible.

With the combined attacks from both inside and outside, the blood-colored energy instantly dimmed by more than half—only a faint red film remained.

”Hmph!”

From within the heart of the storm, a cold grunt escaped the throat of a hidden presence.

In the next instant, a ghostly figure was forced out into the open.

A flash of light revealed a short, thin, monkey-like old man, his hair sparse and his form translucent, suspended in the center of the formation.

Compared to before, his soul appeared even more transparent, clearly having suffered heavy losses from resisting the full assault of the crowd.

”That’s... a soul body?!”

Staring at the suddenly-appearing, illusory figure hovering above the Black Stone Plaza, everyone inside and outside the formation was shocked.

Even Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe finally laid eyes on the true mastermind behind everything.

”This soul body… is stronger than any of us. He must have been a Dou Zun in life. But why is he trapping us?”

The Bone Transforming Gate’s Sect Master and Elder Qin stared up at the phantom, murmuring to themselves.

Elder Qin, who had long been active in the rugged lands of Western Desolate Region, was no fool. He instantly grasped the level of danger they were facing…seeing that their strength was no match for the figure before them, Elder Qin immediately bent at the waist and cupped his hands respectfully.

”Senior, we intruded into this place by accident. We had no intention of disturbing your peace. We beg your forgiveness and ask that you open the path and allow us to leave.”

”That’s right! We truly meant no offense. Please, be merciful and let us go...”

After the elder spoke, the others quickly came to their senses and followed suit, all bowing and pleading.

But Lue Feng Zun Zhe only let out a chilling laugh.

”Jie jie jie... Let you go? I went through all this trouble not to let you go.”

As soon as his voice fell, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s hand seals changed, and in the next second, the pressure inside the formation became terrifyingly oppressive.

Buzz!

A formless pressure surged throughout the entire Black Stone Plaza, crushing down on every person within from all directions.

Under such force, many of the Dou Wang and Dou Huang cultivators—those weaker ones—collapsed to the ground, their bodies curling up involuntarily.

Even the Dou Zong experts had to bend their knees, unable to fully withstand the crushing pressure.

Boom!

Not long after, a muffled explosion suddenly rang out within the Bloodthirsty Spirit-Refining Formation.

Startled, everyone turned their heads quickly in alarm.

A Dou Wang realm cultivator had exploded into a mist of blood under the pressure—his body unable to bear it.

However, the blood mist did not fall to the ground—instead, it was instantly absorbed by the array disc beneath the formation!

Witnessing this gruesome sight, a wave of indescribable chill surged up from the deepest part of everyone’s hearts.

That explosion was like the fuse being lit.

Following that Dou Wang’s death, a chain of explosions erupted one after another within the Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation.

One by one, bodies burst into bloody clouds, and each time, the array absorbed the blood and flesh.

Seeing this massacre, many of the trapped cultivators were so frightened they broke down completely, desperately begging Lue Feng Zun Zhe for mercy.

But Lue Feng Zun Zhe paid no attention to their pleading, continuing to coldly manipulate the array with his hand seals.

In just a few short seconds, all cultivators below Dou Zong were annihilated, blown into blood mist and absorbed into the formation disc.

After consuming the blood and flesh of so many exploded cultivators, the blood-red glow of the formation grew increasingly rich and vivid!

However, focused entirely on controlling the people before him, Lue Feng Zun Zhe failed to notice something...

As the formation absorbed those blood mists, thin strands of faint purplish-brown blood quietly mixed into the array alongside the others—imperceptibly hidden within.

”Since this old bastard doesn’t intend to let us go, then even if we die, we’ll make sure he pays a price!”

Seeing that Lue Feng Zun Zhe had no intention of sparing them, Elder Qin, who was in slightly better condition, shouted to the others within the array.

”That’s right! If we’re dying anyway, we’ll take him down with us!”

The others—having begged for their lives but received no response—agreed instantly.

These people hadn’t reached Dou Zong by being fools. Seeing how the array absorbed blood and flesh, most of them could already guess its function.

Naturally, they refused to let Lue Feng Zun Zhe succeed.

With that, the surviving Dou Zong cultivators rushed desperately toward Lue Feng Zun Zhe, prepared to go down fighting.

”A bunch of rats, and you still think you can resist at this point?”

Seeing this scene, Lue Feng Zun Zhe frowned slightly. His hand seals shifted again, and he coldly snorted: ”Explode.”

As the words left his mouth, the cultivators below Six-Star Dou Zong all suffered the same fate.

One after another, they exploded into blood mist, just like the Dou Wang and Dou Huang before them.
