"Who exactly are you?"
Wei Xingguang and the others exclaimed in shock and anger. The strength of the Skeleton Helmsman was too terrifying; the demonic energy on him was even purer than theirs. How could this be possible?
They were descendants of the Demon Tribe, and apart from them, there was actually someone whose demonic energy was more formidable. How could such a person exist in the world?
"Quick, activate the restraining formation!"
Shang Wuji shouted angrily.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying power flickered around the five of them. Streams of demonic energy emanated from their bodies and rapidly fused into the stone walls of the stone chamber.
Boom!
Countless black restraints in the stone chamber began to move swiftly, transforming into waves of black demonic light that swept outward. Following that, the formation light illuminated, and the demonic patterns on the stone walls seemed to come alive, emitting strange auras. The numerous black demonic energies quickly enveloped Shang Wuji and the others, and with a loud bang, a terrifying force rebounded, instantly sending Qin Chen's hand, which was grasping Shang Wuji, flying away. If it weren't for Qin Chen's astonishing defenses, just this impact alone would have severely injured him.
At the same time, beams of demonic light lit up, instantly enveloping Shang Wuji and the others. A chilling forbidden power spread throughout the stone chamber.
"This is..."
Qin Chen's eyes flashed as he glanced around. The restraints in the entire stone chamber had been completely activated, forming a terrifying demonic formation that enveloped everyone present, even restraining the true essence within their bodies.
As Qin Chen moved slightly, it felt as if he was bearing an immense burden, making even the slightest actions incredibly difficult.
Crack!
Countless demonic energies gathered together, quickly merging into the largest stone coffin in the center. Then, the stone coffin shook slightly, as if it was about to move.
Could there still be someone inside this stone coffin?
Everyone was startled, but soon realized this was inevitable.
There were four black-clad individuals in the four small stone coffins; surely there must be a powerful being in the central large stone coffin. But who could it be?
Could it be the leader among those black-clad individuals?
Qin Chen recalled the black-clad leader who commanded the Piao Miao Palace's experts to open the passage to the Demon Continent. Could it be him?
But no matter who it was, they could not allow the opponent to peacefully open the stone coffin.
"Stop them!"
Qin Chen gave a low shout, and thunderous light erupted around him, causing the pressure of the formation to weaken significantly. Yet he still felt as if he was trapped in a quagmire. His gaze turned cold as he unleashed a fierce glare, and with a buzzing sound, the Sword Domain was instantly activated.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Countless sword lights appeared around Qin Chen, continuously slashing and breaking through the incoming ominous force. Combining with the Thunder Bloodline, the pressure on him finally eased a bit more.
"Kill!"
Qin Chen wielded the mysterious rusty sword, ruthlessly striking forward.
On the other side, the Skeleton Helmsman cackled strangely, releasing his demonic might, appearing even more relaxed than Qin Chen. This was natural; Qin Chen was using his Thunder Bloodline and Sword Domain to withstand the oppressive power of the Demon Tribe's restraining formation, while the Skeleton Helmsman, being one of the Demon Tribe, could grasp the essence of this power even better, making it much easier for him to resist. However, Ji Ruyue and the others were not so fortunate. The terrifying pressure of the restraining formation bore down on them, causing creaking sounds. Fortunately, Ji Ruyue and her companions possessed incredible strength, and each was a natural body; if an ordinary late-stage Martial Emperor were to come, merely this oppressive force would be enough to severely injure him, leaving him unable to move.
