n“Rumble!” The rotation of the fiery maelstrom intensified, eventually involving the entire sea.

n

nIt had a terrible force capable of sucking the stars above and began ravaging the ground.

n

n“Ah!” Even powerful ancestors fell victims and turned to ashes.

n

nEveryone who has yet to leave the ocean couldn’t escape this fate outside of Li Qiye’s group.

n

nHe stood there calmly, completely untouched by this maelstrom despite its great power.

n

nThe flames completely ignored his spot - akin to an entity with a gaping wound.

n

n“Rumble!” The meteor quaked violently beneath this continuous onslaught.

n

nAs the maelstrom grew larger, so did its pressure. It began attacking a particular position of this meteor.

n

nThe entire meteor might be penetrated if this kept on.

n

n“What is it doing?” Holyfrost Emperor wondered as the maelstrom slammed into the ground.

n

n“The damned thing wants to steal our treasures. It should be over there!” The bull panicked.

n

n“Boom!” A gate eventually exploded on the impact point.

n

n“Boom!” A boundless force rushed out like a spring, filled with progenitorial aura and laws.

n

nThey turned into multiple pillars that pierced the center of the maelstrom.

n

n“A progenitor is defending that place.” Holyfrost said.

n

n“Yes, a battle between progenitors.” The bull laughed and said: “The contest back then is still continuing with neither sides relenting.”

n

n“Clank!” Within the stately aura came a sword capable of piercing through all the dao in this world.

n

nA massive sword floated out of the gate and unleashed a slash separating the world into two halves. This attack could easily decapitate a True Emperor.

n

n“Boom!” The ocean of fire was split into two; the maelstrom burst apart. Nevertheless, the fiery affinity remained ferocious.

n

n“Rumble!” The evil flame continued attacking the gate, shaking it harder than ever before.

n

nThe gate lit up with runes containing progenitorial auras. Judging by the various runes, people could instantly tell that several progenitors have blessed this place.

n

nAlas, the barriers of the gate started flickering under the constant barrages of the sea. It wouldn’t take long before it collapses.

n

n“Clank! Clank! Clank!” Thousands and thousands of swords started flying out of the gate and began attacking the ocean of lava in waves. They looked like the jaw of a ferocious beast. This sword formation contained several layers that continued to bite at the maelstrom.

n

n

nThe evil flame’s offense on the gate weakened as a result. The barriers there recovered considerably with this break.

n

n“Rumble!” Loud marching came from the expedition ship. This was a great legion lining up on the deck.

n

n“Isn’t that the ones that jumped into the cauldron?” Liu Yanbai sitting on the bull shouted after seeing them.

n

nThis was indeed the case. This dead army lined up and jumped into the cauldron filled with a bronze liquid.

n

nRight now, they had a golden luster after turning into bronze soldiers made from the toughest material.

n

n“So that’s why they jumped in, to craft this form.” Holyfrost murmured.

n

nGroups of five started moving out and jumped down the ship. Each five formed a powerful formation when working together.

n

nThis was indeed a magnificent scene - so many troops jumping down from the ship almost like a cook throwing dumplings into a boiling pot.

n

n“Splash!” Fire splashed everywhere.

n

nThey began attacking the divine sword array. Remember, this formation looked like the jaw of a beast, so these soldiers resembled lambs entering the tiger’s den.

n

n“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Another assault began.

n

nThe swords cut the soldiers, causing embers and sparks to splash everywhere. Meanwhile, the groups of five attacked the swords with their spear.

n

nThe sword formation became filled with bright sparks almost like the magnificent fireworks during a holiday.

n

nMany soldiers were dismembered or even decapitated. However, whenever they went down, one would hear a poof.

n

nEvil flames oozed out of them and the severed pieces instantly came back together. Not even a cut could be seen on their frame.

n

nThese creatures were impossible to kill and continued attacking the sword formation.

n

nMany swords fell down; some broke in the process. The weakening of the formation meant that the fiery ocean was free again to attack the gate.

n

n“Rumble!” The barriers of the gate started flickering once more, unable to handle the onslaught.

n

n“Not bad at all, it’s a good move using this bronze legion to stop the sword formation.” The bull couldn’t help but praise.

n

n“It’s just another manifestation of the evil flame.” Li Qiye said.

n

nBoth the ocean and the army were fueled by the evil flame. They didn’t have their own consciousness and power.

n

n“Crack!” Cracks finally appeared on the barriers around the gate.

n
