Groups of people surged toward the side halls.
Among them were
Everyone was rushing toward the treasure chests inside the side halls.
Just then, someone triggered a trap. With a thunderous boom, a Runic Pattern formation exploded, reducing dozens of powerful cultivators to ash.
Swish, swish, swish — countless chains formed of Runic Patterns shot toward the crowd of powerful figures inside the side halls.
In an instant, dozens more were locked within the Runic Pattern chains.
"Young Master, watch out!" Long Liu threw himself in front of Long Tianming, shouting urgently. He was bound by a Runic Pattern chain and then dragged away at high speed.
Long Tianming glanced at Long Liu and furrowed his brow. He quickly retreated. He didn't know what these Runic Pattern chains were — even he didn't dare touch them carelessly. So he stood where he was and watched Long Liu get swept away.
It was just a subordinate dying, after all. And Long Liu could be revived.
Long Tianming's eyes flickered. It seemed that opening these treasure chests was no simple task.
Outside the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace, a legion composed of thousands of Demon Clan powerhouses appeared, led by a young man clad in the Scarlet Flame Divine Armor. He was shrouded in scorching flames, and no one dared come within three meters of him.
His skin was flushed crimson, his brow filled with an arrogant bearing. The power of the Heavenly Dao formed a terrifying sea of blood around him, and the suffocating killing intent made it hard to breathe.
"Holy Son of Li Fire, we have not yet determined who activated the Thousand Illusion Formation. Of the hundred-plus entrances to the main hall of the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace, we have not found the life gate!" a Demon Clan powerhouse in silver armor said respectfully.
"Whoever could activate the Thousand Illusion Formation is no ordinary person. Send word to the legions approaching from behind — surround the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace completely. Complete the blockade within half an hour. No one is to leave the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace! Anyone who tries to force their way out, kill without mercy!" the Holy Son of Li Fire said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Everyone, follow me into the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace!" the Holy Son of Li Fire commanded, leading the charge as he swept inside.
At this moment, in the various side halls, powerhouses from the different God Sects were fighting over treasures. One Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse from the Fire God Sect had seized several treasures and was being chased, fleeing outward.
The Holy Son of Li Fire let out a cold snort. Wave after wave of fire dragons surged toward that Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse of the Fire God Sect.
The Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse was immediately enveloped by the fire dragons, unable to escape.
The Holy Son of Li Fire coldly snorted: "Heavenly treasures belong to those with the ability to claim them." His right hand clenched in the air.
The Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse felt a terrifying, suffocating pressure. He tried countless times to break free from the binding fire dragons, but his scorching power was like millions of fine needles piercing into his body.
Pfft! Boom!
The Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse's entire body exploded.
His Space Ring flew toward the Holy Son of Li Fire.
The dozens of powerhouses chasing after that Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouse saw this, and their eyebrows twitched wildly.
"Damn it — how did the Holy Son of Li Fire get here?!"
Upon seeing the Holy Son of Li Fire, they lost all desire to compete for the treasures. Trying to snatch something from the Holy Son of Li Fire was simply seeking death!
The Holy Son of Li Fire swept his gaze over the people in the distance and coldly snorted: "Along the way, if you encounter anyone from the Six Great Human God Sects, kill without mercy! All members of the Demon God Sects must have their Space Rings inspected. Anyone found hoarding treasures privately shall also be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
The Demon Clan powerhouses behind the Holy Son of Li Fire answered in unison.
