What's going on? Who is this person? the Bone Devil Ancestor mentally roared as he unconsciously took a few steps backward.
As a leader of the evil path known throughout the martial arts world, the Bone Devil Ancestor had encountered countless powerful foes, but none of them had ever forced him to this level. He hadn't even seen the full form of this foe, but he had already been forced to assume his strongest battle stance as the bone devil.
If the Bone Devil Ancestor weren't experiencing it right now, he would have never dared to believe that someone could force him into this state.
Even more concerning to the Bone Devil Ancestor was that even though he was in his strongest form and had so many top-class experts of the Five Ancestor Alliance at his side, including his peers the Black Yin Ancestor and Myriad Ghost Ancestor, he felt no less fear and unease.
"Watch out! There's—!" The Lone Silence Ancestor was about to warn the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief about something when he suddenly paused midway.
That terrifying existence in the passage suddenly exploded with power, and the pressure exerting itself on everyone present became so great that they could hardly breathe.
How could someone so frightening exist!?
The Lone Silence Ancestor felt unprecedented shock.
He had endured more shocks in this one trip to the northwest than the rest of his life added up together. Strange factions and opponents were appearing one after another. The six walking corpses in the underground palace had all been extremely strong, but those three masked men had been even stronger.
As for the powerful being in the passage, the Lone Silence Ancestor sensed... that they were even stronger than the Tiger Immortal!
Suddenly, boom!
With a heaven-quaking impact, another golden silk boot emerged from the passage and stomped onto the air.
A moment later, the golden figure finally emerged from the passage.
Those cold and tyrannical eyes, the erect posture, and the endless waves of destructive energy rolling off his body stunned everyone present.
In the face of this dreadful strength, everyone else felt like they were like nothing but ants.
Everyone here was an accomplished expert of the martial arts world, able to crush stones and lift cauldrons with a wave of their arms and feet. But compared to this figure, they were fireflies trying to vie with the moon. The gap between them could not be calculated with numbers.
Bang!
This man was a god, and he was slowly striding upon the air toward them. The void seemed like solid ground to his feet, and the pressure he exuded was only getting stronger and stronger.
"Not good!"
Light flashed within the core region as the martial artists pushed the Stellar Energies in their bodies to the absolute limit, their faces madly shifting through emotions.
Fwoosh!
A martial artist suddenly vomited blood, the first to break under the pressure. Like a deflated leather bag, he crumpled to the ground and rapidly began to cool.
A few moments later, several dozen martial artists followed him in being crushed to death by the pressure. Song Yuanyi and his Righteous Alliance were the closest to the passage, so they suffered the greatest pressure.
Kacrack! A soft crackling sound like the frying of beans came from the Eternal Spring Stellar Energy around Song Yuanyi.
In the martial arts world, Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy was known as the best in defense, and its immense vitality and recovery ability allowed Song Yuanyi to heal extremely quickly. Up until now, nobody had ever been able to break through Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy.
But a few moments later, boom! Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy seemed to have reached its limit and exploded. Plush! Song Yuanyi paled as he vomited blood.
"Alliance Lord!"
The Righteous Alliance experts all paled.
Just when it seemed like all of them were about to endure the same frightening pressure, an arm reached out and grabbed Song Yuanyi. At the same time, Sikong Yuanjia, Ouyang Changheng, and the other experts managed to gather their power together to just barely weather this pressure.
"Withdraw! We're no match for him!" Xie Guangting's voice resounded in everyone's ears.
This man's strength was simply too frightening. Even though Xie Guangting and his Universe Sundering Art specialized in piercing through the Stellar Energy of his foes, he could not muster any thought of resistance.
This person was far more powerful than they could ever imagine, leaving even the likes of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting in the dust.
All the Righteous Alliance experts began to back away in panic.
But at this moment, the man cared little for the people around him. From the moment he emerged from the passage, his aloof eyes were locked onto the dazzling Origin Immortal Palace in the distance.
"Hmph, you found quite the nice place!"
The man profoundly stared and gave a cold chuckle, and then he turned his eyes to the three nearby corpses of the Goat Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Tiger Immortal.
Wang Chong had borrowed the power of the Origin Immortal Sword to kill these three in one strike. The Tiger Immortal had run the farthest, but he had ultimately died not far from the passage.
Buzz!
The man suddenly unleashed wispy golden light from his body, which began to morph and shift into various mysterious symbols. A moment later, this energy began to shift so rapidly that the symbols blurred together.
"What is he doing?"
This sight made everyone shiver with ill foreboding, but nobody knew what he was doing. All they could make out was blurry human-shaped figures moving within the energy.
"It's those men in black! He's making time go in reverse to see what happened here!" The Demonic Emperor Old Man's voice came from the back of the crowd. His eyes were flashing and there was shock in his voice.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man was the only person present who could enter the world of energy and observe its changes. This was also why he was the only person who could understand what the man was doing.
Those countless blurry figures were a reenactment of the battle that had taken place here.
Through some absurd method, this terrifying existence was replaying the events of this place, but at such speeds that bystanders couldn't see.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man was a grandmaster of martial arts, but not even he had ever seen a technique like this.
As the Demonic Emperor Old Man was peering at him through the world of energy, the golden man seemed to sense something and shot the Demonic Emperor Old Man a chilling glare.
Rumble! The Demonic Emperor Old Man's mind was slammed, and his face turned pale and he staggered backward.
"Ah!"
Cries of alarm came from his side. The Lone Silence Ancestor and Wushang Village Chief were well aware of how strong the Demonic Emperor Old Man was. As the former number one of the evil path, the Demonic Emperor Old Man was so infamous that all martial artists would still pale at the mere mention of his name.
Whether it came to martial arts or Psychic Energy, he had cultivated them to an incomparably sturdy level.
But a single glare had been enough to heavily injure the Demonic Emperor Old Man's mind and destabilize his Stellar Energy. This level of power was simply absurd!
The Wushang Village Chief and the others were instantly filled with dread toward this mysterious newcomer.
"Hmph, not knowing your own strength!"
The man sneered. After pushing the Demonic Emperor Old Man out of the world of energy, he turned his attention back to the images of reversed time before him.
"Is this man a god or a human?"
The martial artists were all stunned. This man had seemingly done nothing except exist, but he had already managed to heavily injure martial arts titans like Song Yuanyi and the Demonic Emperor Old Man.
Their hearts were brimming with fear, and they felt like fish on the cutting board.
A few seconds later, the man finished looking through the playback. He had seen how Wang Chong had used the Origin Immortal Sword to kill the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals.
"A pile of useless trash! You couldn't even accomplish a minor task like this!"
The images in front of the golden man dispersed, the wisps of energy returning into his body like birds returning to a forest.
Anger flashed in his eyes as he stared at the three lifeless bodies.
"But seeing as you were able to find this old scoundrel's hiding place, you have some use. This being the case, I'll give you one more chance!"
The man thrust a palm forward. Keeeee! The air shrieked with the wailing of ghosts.
As the martial artists looked on in shock, black smoke began to pour out of the heads of the three deceased Immortals, accompanied by wretched screams.
If one looked carefully, one would see people struggling within the three columns of smoke, their bodies very similar to those of the three Immortals.
He was extracting their souls!
Everyone instantly backed away in shock, staring at the golden man like he was the world's most wicked devil.
