Li Dao smiled, seemingly ignoring Xuan Feng's words. He channeled his life-and-death intent into his hand and pressed down on the formation with a palm.
The ancient freak following closely behind the two, though confused about what was going on, saw Li Dao determined to strike the formation.
Their expressions changed instantly.
"Stop him!"
With a delicate shout, the Fallen Goddess raised her hand and a long sword adorned with vibrant flowers shot out, streaking across the sky and fiercely striking towards Li Dao.
The others also attacked simultaneously, unleashing terrifying divine powers that all hurtled towards Li Dao.
Hearing the roaring sound, the numerous cultivators behind him unleashed their divine power and instantly fled towards the outside of the sinkhole.
But it was all too late.
Li Dao's well-defined right palm shattered the formation, and instantly a terrifying aura swept across the entire sinkhole.
boom!
A dazzling and magnificent divine light, like a dragon unleashed from its cage, shot out instantly and pounced towards the crowd.
The ancient talisman above Li Dao's head emitted a faint, eerie light, protecting his entire body.
All the divine powers that the crowd unleashed were completely devoured by that divine light.
Upon seeing this, Xuanfeng and the Fallen Goddess and her group's expressions changed drastically, and they unleashed various supernatural powers in succession, fleeing towards the outside of the sinkhole.
But all their efforts were in vain; they hadn't gone far before they were enveloped by the divine light.
Xuanfeng's eyes widened suddenly as he felt his life force rapidly dissipating, staring at Li Dao with disbelief.
"It was you! You did this!"
"You set this up! How cruel of you!"
Li Dao's expression remained indifferent; the dazzling divine light directly avoided him, while the life force within Xuan Feng's body was slowly draining away.
It was as if an invisible hand had completely drained him of all his vitality.
The Daoist magic, along with the primordial spirit, vanished in the blink of an eye, swallowed by that mysterious divine light.
Behind Xuanfeng, the Fallen Goddess and the others also failed to escape, wailing as their life force was drained away, their voices gradually weakening until they fell silent.
However, in the blink of an eye, gray statues stood tall throughout the sinkhole, each with a look of terror on its face.
The divine light was like a crashing wave, instantly smoothing out all the wrinkles on the beach.
Whoosh!
The divine light swept back, and Li Dao heard sounds like flowing water.
His eyes flashed with divine light, and within that light, drops of pale golden liquid were rapidly flowing back.
"This is?"
Li Dao's pupils contracted involuntarily as he looked toward the place where the divine light had swept in.
The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye only saw an endless, deep darkness, devoid of any life, like the entrance to hell.
The ancient talisman above Li Dao's head was radiating intense heat.
"That single drop of golden liquid is the essence of a person."
What exactly is inside?
The moment Li Dao's thought arose, he was surprised to find that the formation he had shattered did not recover this time.
Instead, a golden vortex channel was formed, and the ancient talisman in the palm trembled slightly, as if something inside was attracting it.
Li Dao's heart tightened; he didn't know where this passage led.
But he learned that by devouring so many people, he had inadvertently opened a vortex gate.
Before he could think any further, the ancient talisman in his hand trembled more and more frequently, and the suction force emanating from the vortex gate grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if some terrifying force had gripped Li Dao, preventing him from taking a single step when he tried to move out.
The ancient talisman in his hand gradually heated up, and strange ripples emanated from it, constantly drawing Li Dao into it.
Li Dao gritted his teeth, retracted the immortal tower that served as the array's core, and plunged directly into the vortex.
boom!
Just as the array's core was removed, the array suddenly shattered.
The cultivators who were blocked outside the formation felt a chill run down their spines as they listened to the terrifying screams emanating from within the formation.
When the formation in front of them broke, the cultivators rushed into it without hesitation.
But the next moment, their faces turned deathly pale.
Inside the sinkhole, streaks of grayish-white flesh, displaying extreme terror, crawled toward the outside of the sinkhole.
Their lifelike appearance was so striking that, had one not witnessed tens of thousands of cultivators entering them, one would never have believed that the mounds of flesh before one's eyes were actually those people.
Even though Lightning and his companion had anticipated this, their expressions were still somewhat unnatural upon seeing the scene before them.
The sinkhole is like a passage to hell. The passage has been opened, and demons from hell are desperately trying to escape.
All the cultivators dared not advance any further and immediately fled.
Everything seemed too bizarre; tens of thousands of people had died in the same way, and just looking at it made one feel inexplicably uneasy.
They weren't sure if there was still danger inside and just wanted to get out quickly.
"This is a demon about to appear! Tens of thousands of people have died here, it's terrifying!"
"What could it be made of? It looks so eerie!"
"Run! If you get entangled with that thing, you might end up the same way!"
Seeing the formation suddenly collapse, Lightning and his companion had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that there were few people around and rush into the sinkhole to start looting treasures.
However, when the two searched all the way to the bottom of the pit, they could not find Li Dao.
He scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, but still could not find any trace of Li Dao.
Lightning immediately panicked.
"Where did the boss go? Suddenly shutting down the formation doesn't fit the plan. Could something have happened to him?"
Chen Bai remained calm, observing the vanished formation and the mysterious divine light, and calmly spoke:
"Let's leave this place first. People should be arriving soon. There are quite a few powerful leaders among the nearby tribes!"
"Let's get out of here first!"
Upon hearing this, Lightning had no choice but to leave with Chen Bai.
Shortly after the two left, several important figures arrived at the place.
Each of them possessed a terrifying aura, suppressing heaven and earth, yet their auras were somewhat strange.
That was the work of a strong curse.
A series of divine thoughts continuously scanned every corner of the sinkhole.
"The formation outside the sinkhole is newly set up, but there is a mysterious aura inside the sinkhole."
"That force instantly robbed tens of thousands of people of their life force, draining them of all their essence!"
The man who spoke had graying temples and droopy eyelids; he was the oldest in the group. Everyone fell silent after he spoke.
"What power can plunder the essence of tens of thousands of people in the blink of an eye?"
"Could it be some terrifying lingering remnant of an immortal or demon at work?"
The cult leader looked solemn, realizing that even they might not be able to achieve such a feat.
Even they couldn't help but gasp at the sight inside the sinkhole.
"It was all premeditated. Post notices and offer a reward for the person behind this. The Burial Realm is only so big, let's see how long he can hide!"
The other cultivators arrived at the scene belatedly and discovered that the sinkhole had already been sealed off.
Meanwhile, amidst the uproar outside, Li Dao was suddenly transported to another world.
Li Dao landed heavily on the ground, holding the Immortal Tower in his hands, his face full of vigilance.
Looking around, beams of dazzling divine light were constantly converging towards a certain point.
The entire world seemed to be woven from these divine lights. He stepped on the golden earth, and heard chanting in his ears.
The rocks and vegetation shimmered with golden light. The sky and the ground, the vegetation and rocks were covered with dense golden veins, as if this place had entered the body of a giant human body.
The heavens and earth were pulsating slightly, as if they were breathing.
Where is this place?
Li Dao's expression turned somewhat solemn as he slowly walked towards the place where the divine light was gathering.
We didn't see a single ferocious beast along the way; all we could see were mountains and rivers.
Mountains and rivers are like bones, and streams are like blood, constantly intertwining and surging.
Everything seemed so wondrous, as if he had accidentally stumbled upon a fairyland, but the tranquil atmosphere made him dare not be careless in the slightest.
The ancient talisman, which had become scorching hot in his hands, returned to its original state, now only emitting a faint divine light.
Following the path of divine light, after about half a day, a massive altar appeared before Li Dao.
The altar was dazzling and crystal clear, crafted from peerless divine jade, radiating a deep blue light.
Around the altar, golden Dao patterns pulsated gently like veins, as if they were alive.
All the divine light gathered on the altar and then quickly surged outwards. As the divine light moved back and forth, one could clearly sense something being conceived on the altar.
Li Dao slowly moved forward, and as soon as he stepped onto the first step, a huge body suddenly appeared before him.
It was a broken body, with golden veins constantly being perfected, and blood vessels intertwining and crisscrossing within it like great rivers.
Li Dao abruptly stepped back down the stairs, his expression grave.
"This is about creating a body!"
"If it were truly successfully created, what kind of power would it possess!"
Its body lay horizontally in the boundless chaos, with golden veins constantly perfecting themselves, already covering its entire body.
