Chapter 1441 - Escaping into the Tomb

The crowd hiding in the void sensed it the moment the grand formation laid down by the law creatures was activated, and their expressions changed.

In the face of true strength, all plots and schemes were meaningless.

No one could sit still any longer.

Originally, they had planned to sit back and watch the tigers fight, waiting for someone to stick their head out and draw the law creatures’ fire first. Alas, no one here was foolish; all shared the same intention, and so they merely observed as the formations were laid without attempting any countermeasures.

“

Hmph

, a bunch of selfish, disorganized people!” sneered the law creature resembling a man in brocade, eyeing those who were about to be refined to death.

Someone in the void roared, “Let’s fight them! Charge and kill these law creatures!”

But the reality was harsh: everyone was too clever for their own good. No one wanted to become the first to stand out and withstand the full force of the law creatures’ attacks.

Though the formation could have been disrupted, they did nothing, watching as it completed and activated. Only when they were all trapped like turtles in a jar did the thought of counterattack occur far too late.

Swish, swish, swish.

Suddenly, countless figures appeared between heaven and earth. Originally hidden in the void, all of them showed themselves at once.

Chen Fan, however, remained calm and collected.

Boom, boom, boom!

Streams of light erupted from the sky, striking everything in their path.

In an instant, several half-immortal realm experts who could not dodge in time were obliterated. Their flesh and blood were absorbed by the formation, which, in turn, roared to life even more fiercely—its power surging another level.

After these half-immortals were killed, the formation accepted their flesh and blood. That allowed the formation to operate even more fiercely.

Many people felt a sense of despair. The more people were killed, the stronger the formation became, making it more and more difficult to deal with.

Soon, it might trap and kill them all here. Even Ji Lanshan and the other ninth-stage half-immortals would not escape death.

Chen Fan casually deflected the streams of light shooting toward him, feeling a slight numbness in his palm. He thought,

It’s no wonder those half-immortals were killed on the spot.

Chen Fan was incredibly strong now; otherwise, even he would have been flustered by the relentless onslaught.

What was even more terrifying was that the surrounding laws were like chains, slowly tightening around them as if they were being pulled in by the formation and undergoing an unpredictable change.

Li Yu, weaker than Chen Fan, was far less relaxed.

Despite his peak eighth-stage half-immortal realm cultivation, his strength had declined significantly under the law shackles. He was in a difficult situation, unable to even move closer to Xiao Ruyue.

“Chen Fan, what should we do?” Li Yu asked anxiously.

More and more half-immortals fell. Though the casualties were only below the fourth-stage half-immortals for now, if this formation continued, it would inevitably become capable of killing seventh- and eighth-stage half-immortals as well.

“No hurries for now. The real show is just about to begin,” Chen Fan said evenly.

Boom, boom.

Rumble!

The killings continued, but the crowd was no slouch, either. Who didn’t have some tricks up their sleeves? There was no way they would just obediently let themselves get killed. They quickly joined hands and unleashed various attacks enveloped in martial Dao, sweeping out.

The crowd was united because they needed to break through this formation. If they didn’t join forces, no one would survive.

People like Ji Lanshan and Xiao Ruyue were suspecting that the law creatures might have intentionally revealed the ancient emperor’s tomb to lure them here.

As the crowd launched their counterattacks, casualties began appearing within the army of law creatures.

Although the law formation shielded them, those Void Immortals or even low-stage half-immortals could not possibly withstand the joint attacks of so many experts. This forced the high-stage half-immortals within the law creature army to step in early.

Both sides engaged in aerial combat. The scene was chaotic, almost apocalyptic, with the sky turning dark, sand flying, and pebbles rolling everywhere.

Occasionally, half-immortals from both sides would be bombarded to death on the spot.

The most dazzling figures here were influential figures in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, like Ji Lanshan. They showed off their powers, shaking heaven and earth. No one could rival them.

Although there were also quite a few ninth-stage half-immortals within the army of law creatures, compared to these prominent figures, they were still somewhat lacking.

Chen Fan also launched a series of attacks, neutralizing wave after wave of attacks from the army of law creatures as he led Li Yu toward Xiao Ruyue’s side.

Chen Fan’s gaze was fixed on that man in brocade in the sky. The latter stood with his arms crossed, his expression cold, ignoring the countless casualties before his eyes, appearing extremely cold-hearted.

However, despite the crowd’s joint counterattacks, the army of law creatures far outnumbered them. There seemed to be no end to their ranks, surging forward in wave after wave. Even powerhouses like Ji Lanshan were struggling to hold their ground.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan planned to join up with Xiao Ruyue, but his path was blocked. He had no choice but to fight fiercely and kill these law creatures.

“Hurry! Let’s escape into the tomb. The formation shouldn’t be able to take effect there. At the very least, we can fight back inside and slowly wear those law creatures down.”

Finally, amidst the chaos, someone noticed that the ancient emperor’s tomb had opened after sensing the law creatures’ chanting. Instantly, the crowd surged toward the entrance as if clinging to a life-saving straw.

They weren’t powerless, but no one wished to continue this hopeless struggle and end up slaughtered on the field. The once-unified frontlines, which had stood their ground with sheer determination, collapsed the moment the crowd fled for the tomb.

To the army of law creatures, it was as if they were herding helpless livestock—driving pigs and sheep into a pen. They had already held the advantage; now, they pressed it to its fullest.

Experts perished one after another. Countless treasures fell into the pools of blood. The fresh blood of these half-immortals flowed like a river, creating a tragic scene.

Even some seventh and eighth-stage half-immortals couldn’t escape in time and were smashed to death by that dark figure next to the man in brocade with a single palm strike.

“Ninth-stage half-immortal, it’s another ninth-stage half-immortal realm expert!”

When the dark figure attacked, only Chen Fan saw his attack coming, and he instantly determined that it was most likely another powerful ninth-stage half-immortal.

Even so, such a powerful law creature was acting extremely deferentially toward the man in brocade, showing a glimpse into the status and strength of that man.

“Come, let’s enter too!”

Seeing that most of the experts had already entered the tomb, Chen Fan no longer hesitated and slipped into the crowd with Li Yu, making their way over.
