An old figure was deeply worried, frequently glancing towards the boundless snowstorm on the horizon, where a visibly terrifying and mighty old silhouette was moving, clearly showing that those ancient undead Saint Realm powerhouses were rushing towards this world.
This old figure was none other than one of the Supreme Elders from the Array Peak of the Divine Sword Sect back in the day. While his cultivation was merely at the Transcendent Realm, his proficiency in Array Dao was not much inferior to Yin Tianzheng.
With this person guarding the place, he could at least ensure these grand arrays were operational at all times. As soon as that silhouette descended, the array could be activated instantly.
Of course, Yin Tianzheng and others definitely didn’t just arrange a single Array Peak Elder to wait here. Several formidable and terrifying experts with thick auras were also guarding the place.
However, at this moment, everyone was behaving just like this Array Peak Supreme Elder, each anxious and pacing back and forth.
"Elder, will they fail?"
An expert from the Array Peak spoke with eyes full of dread. The horrifying Saint aura that had just radiated from the direction of the Divine Sword Sect was so vast that it’s obvious a saint battle erupted there, likely with the Sword Saint and others forcibly breaking out with that silhouette in tow.
And just as everyone was filled with worry and anxiety.
Suddenly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!
The sound of dozens of figures cutting through the sky echoed instantly. Several people looked up in response to the sound, only to see Ye Xiaofan and others, led by Qi Yun, traversing the void, desperately flying towards this world.
"They’re coming, they’re finally coming."
Seeing that young figure at that moment, everyone was greatly encouraged, and their faces immediately lit up with joy.
"Open the grand array’s gate immediately and prepare to teleport the people out."
The invigorated Supreme Elder finished speaking, and an aged figure flew into the array, taking charge of the array flag, while several other figures ascended into the sky to greet Qi Yun and others.
When they arrived in the void and saw the dozens of figures traversing were covered in wounds and injuries that were shocking to see, they couldn’t help but gasp.
"Senior Qi...?"
The Array Peak Supreme Elder looked towards Qi Yun, but immediately spoke, "The grand array is already open, everyone follow me quickly. Once inside the array, you can instantly move to the endless mountains and rivers."
Hearing this, everyone exchanged a glance without hesitation and immediately dove towards the gorge, directly stepping onto the teleportation platform.
"Activate!"
Boom—!!!
The moment everyone entered the teleportation array, the Array Peak Supreme Elder immediately activated the grand array. The vast Power of Heaven and Earth trembled instantly, and the entire gorge was awash with endless light as tens of thousands of array flags waved and stood firm.
At that moment, a terrifying Power of Space-Time emerged, enveloping everyone with lightning speed. A blinding light flashed and disappeared, and everyone vanished from the gorge’s teleportation platform.
And just a moment before Ye Xiaofan and the others disappeared.
A million-zhang colossal palm imprint descended from the sky, like the Hand of the Heavens, slamming towards the endless gorge.
Rumble—!!!
Suddenly, the vast gorge shattered entirely, endless peaks crumbled, turning to dust in an instant, causing the entire world to quake as if the true apocalypse had arrived, sending shivers down spines.
Fortunately, before the million-zhang hand fell, everyone had already vanished from the gorge, instantly transported to the endless territory.
And at the same time the hand fell, millions of miles away, another desolate and uninhabited primeval forest suddenly lit up with brilliant radiance, and dozens of figures appeared simultaneously in this heavenly space.
"Activate the second teleportation array, quickly!"
At this moment, the Array Peak Supreme Elder was anxious, sweating profusely from his forehead, and everyone was filled with trepidation.
Right before everyone was teleported away, they almost witnessed that colossal hand shattering the universe, collapsing the heaven and earth, and now it was a race against time.
Evidently, even the teleportation array set up with all efforts by the Array Peak of the Divine Sword Sect couldn’t teleport everyone away at once, but required one array after another, arrays connected end to end, continuously teleporting to leave this vast world.
Such teleportation arrays had been arranged by Yin Tianzheng and others for almost hundreds, indicating the vastness of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range territory.
However, just as everyone stepped into the second teleportation array and the endless array light once again surged into the sky, a million-zhang Sword Qi sliced through the endless cosmic domain.
Surely, those near-death old Saints had already made their move, whether the preceding ’Hand of the Heavens’ or the million-zhang Sword Qi, both originated from the hands of the undead.
These about-to-die, desperately clinging old Saints naturally wouldn’t watch as that silhouette left with the Empress Inheritance. No matter the cost, they would leave no one behind—that was a walking ’second life’ to them with an irresistible deadly allure.
Fortunately, when the million-zhang Sword Qi severed territorial mountains and rivers, everyone vanished in the grand array once again, but their expressions changed drastically one by one.
Everyone had underestimated the terrifying power of those old Saints. Despite being near death, their bodies wholly surrounded by death energy, their strength was nonetheless rivaling contemporary powerhouses, and some even maintained peak power.
Within the boundless teleportation space, the Array Peak Supreme Elder’s expression changed drastically, yet he still prepared to activate the next teleportation array.
Not long after.
Everyone appeared for the second time among the endless mountains and rivers.
However, just as the Array Peak Supreme Elder was about to continue activating the third teleportation array.
Suddenly.
Boom—!!!
Beyond the endless mountains and rivers, an ancient Divine Hall fell from the firmament, with an astonishing array flag descending from the hall, instantly shattering that world.
