Chapter 194
The Ashen family’s Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation was extremely famous within the Heavenly Flame Dynasty.
Once the formation was formed, almost no one could escape it.
Lara gritted her teeth. "A mere little formation thinks it can trap me?"
"Watch me directly shatter your Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation!"
"Heavenly Spirit Blast!"
Lara waved her hand to summon a cluster of spiritual light and swung with all her might, blasting it toward the light wall in front of her.
The ground beneath their feet abruptly shook from the impact. As if the earth was trembling and the mountains were swaying.
The formation of the Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation was affected by Lara’s attack, and seemed on the verge of collapsing.
Suddenly, a figure glided nimbly, leaping into mid-air.
It was none other than Kray.
Holding a writing brush in his hand, in an instant, using mid-air as his paper, he wrote a massive string of long text that floated in the sky.
Immediately after, with a casual wave of his hand, the characters fell onto the light curtain.
"The Vire family’s Heavenly Book Soul-Fixing Technique..." Seeing these golden Sacred characters, which strengthened the power of the Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation by more than double, both Tobias and Lara felt their hearts sink.
They never expected that the Ashen and Vire families would actually participate in launching a sneak attack against them.
There were a total of nine families that had entered the Secret Realm. Aside from their three families, the other six had actually all united together.
This polarized situation made Tobias incredibly astonished.
Our Saint Lord usually has pretty good interpersonal relations, ah!
He treats people amiably, is extremely reasonable, and gets along quite well with the other Saint Lineages. How come today, he has incurred so much hatred?
If it were to fight over fortuitous encounters, that would be one thing.
The problem was that this Secret Realm was full of leftover scraps.
There were fundamentally no decent fortuitous encounters.
Trapped within the four light curtains, the Hale family crowd all gave up struggling and resisting.
Just as Tobias was feeling puzzled, a figure walked out from the shadows. It was exactly Knox.
"It’s you!" Tobias recognized Knox and revealed a look of furious rage.
"It’s you... who incited these six families to deal with my Hale family?!"
"Exactly." Knox nodded and laughed coldly.
"Hale family Third Elder, weren’t you acting extremely arrogant in the past?"
"How come today, you have actually been reduced to a trapped beast in a cage? A fish or shrimp caught in a net?"
"Knox, you brat, stop being so arrogant!" Tobias roared, furious beyond control.
"Wait until this poor Daoist gets out, I will definitely chop your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"
"Hahaha, then you have to actually have the opportunity to get out first." Knox laughed contemptuously.
"This is the Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation set up by the combined efforts of Saint Lord Cain and Saint Lord Kray. It can last for two days and two nights."
"For these two days, you can only stay right here. You can’t go anywhere."
"As for after two days, the Heavenly Flame Secret Realm will close."
"You can only stay here and watch helplessly as we scour the resources in the Heavenly Flame Secret Realm clean, hahaha!"
Not long after, the crowds from the Blackwood and Sol families, unable to match the experts of the other four families, were all given a thorough beatdown and thrown into the formation.
Looking at Knox, Cain, and the several other Saint Lords with faces full of arrogant and smug expressions, Tobias, Lazlo, and Byron were all so angry their eye sockets practically split open. Their pupils suffused with blood.
"Bastard... this bastard brat..."
"If I had known he was such a bastard, back in the Holy Land, I should have just killed him directly!"
"To think that this poor Daoist, as the dignified Third Elder of the Hale family, actually fell for that little brat’s trick!"
"Humiliating, truly humiliating!"
Tobias was flustered and exasperated, yelling and shouting non-stop.
Lara to the side, however, appeared extremely calm. A chilling smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
Tobias asked, puzzled. "Lara, having suffered such extraordinary humiliation, how can you still smile?"
"Why couldn’t I smile?" Lara shrugged and laughed.
"That Knox is already nothing but withered bones in a tomb. A rat waiting to die. What harm is there in letting him act rampant for a little while longer?"
"Hmm?" Tobias was instantly bewildered.
"Lara, what do you mean by these words?"
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed." Lara smiled mysteriously.
"But there is one thing I can tell you."
"Those who offend our Hale family, especially those who offend the Saint Lord, absolutely will not have a good ending!"
...
Trapping the Hale family crowd inside the Trapped Beast Golden Dipper Formation not only eliminated a hidden danger but also allowed Knox to fiercely vent a mouthful of foul anger.
Without this sole obstacle, the six major families joined forces and combined their efforts, breaking through numerous dangerous and difficult checkpoints.
After a full day’s time, they finally arrived at the Remnant Buddha Cliff at dusk.
"Young Master Knox, look." Cain said with a solemn expression.
"This river is the Heartless River."
"The river water contains incredibly terrifying power and absolutely must not be touched."
"The rock wall on the opposite bank is the endpoint of this Heavenly Flame Secret Realm."
"As long as we attack the rock wall, the three Evil Buddhas of Greed, Anger, and Delusion will reveal themselves to the world!"
Along this journey, Knox had already become everyone’s universally acknowledged main pillar of support. Even the usually arrogant major Saint Lords would ask for Knox’s opinion first on every matter.
"Mm, it seems we have finally found the largest fortuitous encounter." Knox nodded and said with a straight face.
"Saint Lord Cain, Saint Lord Alric, Saint Lord Thalen."
"I ask the three of you to attack the rock wall together and force those three Evil Buddhas out."
"Alright!" Cain, Alric, and Thalen took a step forward. Energy converging in their palms.
They blasted out three streaks of tyrannical spiritual energy, simultaneously hitting the three sections of the rock wall.
One green, one red, and one purple. Three streams of thick smoke surged out from behind the rock wall.
A moment later, they condensed into three colossal figures, looking down imperiously at them from a high vantage point.
