However, this time his stakeout went awry; he inadvertently discovered that the aura across the passage was amiss, clashing with the followers of the Demon Buddha Poxun who intended to invade the Five Realms.
Both sides were "earthworking," and as a result, they both rushed toward each other.
Thus, in a flash of brilliance, the Heavenly Master, an old ascender, decisively burned his Divine Soul, timely setting up a formation far beyond his own capabilities, forcibly severing the passage in the middle, collapsing the section he was standing on, and completely concealing himself.
The followers of Poxun were naturally furious and immediately surrounded the great formation evolved by the Heavenly Master, determined to find and kill this Human Realm cultivator.
