Natural Formation, The Tracks of the Mysterious Figures

The Ancient Heaven Sect was in an uproar, brewing a massive storm.

Meanwhile, within the War Dragon Secret Realm, Murong Ce ultimately couldn't escape Jiang Yuqiong's pursuit. With a single sword strike, Jiang cleaved off his head!

"If you'd teleported out earlier, you might've lived a bit longer."

"But no, you just had to stumble into a place like this!"

"Looks like even the heavens wanted you gone!"

Gazing at Murong Ce's corpse, Jiang Yuqiong muttered to himself.

He knew Murong Ce hadn't wanted to abandon the trial, attempting to shake off his pursuit.

In their chase, directionless, they'd ended up here.

But what caught him off guard was the inexplicable terror lurking in this place!

The surrounding air was inexplicably thick with ferocious pressure, like ten thousand mountains bearing down, knocking Murong Ce from the sky. He moved as if mired in mud, his actions painfully slow!

At that moment, Jiang Yuqiong's own form wavered briefly.

But as his blood surged fiercely within him, he dispelled the oppressive force, striding through the void as if on solid ground.

Seeing this, Murong Ce's heart sank into despair!

In his final moment, he activated his talisman, desperate to escape.

Yet the talisman only flared with light before an invisible force in the void surged, shredding the runes to dust!

The spatial passage failed to open!

Murong Ce's teleportation failed!

And so, he lost his life.

"This place seems a bit unusual!"

Jiang Yuqiong raised an eyebrow, dismissing Murong Ce.

He could feel the pressure in this space too.

It was as if, in the nothingness, a supreme being sat silently watching, its immense power warping the very heavens and earth!

Anyone stepping here would suffer like Murong Ce—unable to fly, even trudging on the ground a grueling task.

But Jiang Yuqiong was an exception!

"With my mom's Heavenly Emperor bloodline in me, ordinary suppression is useless against me!"

"Forcing me to fully unleash my blood power to resist—this place is extraordinary!"

"Could it be… there's some big treasure here?"

Jiang Yuqiong's eyes widened at the thought.

If his guess was right, the loot here would outshine even that palace from before!

Without further ado, he summoned the Golden-Winged Peng runes, soaring back into the sky to scout.

But he hadn't flown far when shouts rose from below.

"Boss! Help us out!"

"We're exhausted!"

Looking down, he saw a group waving at him.

Who else but Hui Shoutao, Feng Wuchou, Qin Yuxi, and the others?

Seeing them, Jiang Yuqiong grinned.

He hadn't expected these guys to actually follow him here!

Without hesitation, he landed in a valley to regroup.

They were panting heavily, tongues out, clearly struggling under that fearsome force.

Seeing Jiang Yuqiong unaffected, Hui Shoutao and the others gaped, stunned.

"Boss, how are you fine?"

Hui Shoutao asked.

Jiang Yuqiong smirked, replying casually, "Maybe my stunning charm shakes the heavens and shatters history—so even the Three Thousand Daos can't hold me down!"

The group nearly spat blood.

How old are you to claim such earth-shaking charm?

Have some shame!

Feng Wuchou stayed silent for a moment before muttering, "What is this place? It's formed a natural formation!"

Qin Yuxi nodded beside him.

Everyone knew natural formations differed vastly from typical arrays.

They either evolved from the world itself—like earth dragon veins—or stemmed from a powerful artifact or being whose innate energy reshaped reality!

Either way, they were extraordinary!

Forming a natural formation required far more than ordinary power!

"And clearly, we're just on the outskirts, barely stepping in, yet moving is this draining!"

"Imagine the source of this power—what kind of terrifying existence it must be!"

Sweat dampened Qin Yuxi's hair, trickling down her jade-like cheeks.

Jiang Yuqiong rolled his eyes.

"If you know that, why stay?"

"Get out already!"

He knew this place was special.

But he wasn't about to charge in blindly.

If there were treasures, couldn't he just return later with Ancient Heaven Sect's help?

But Hui Shoutao's next words froze him.

"No, Boss! There's a canyon ahead—go check it out! There might be treasure!"

"We saw a group vanish through it from afar!"

"We wanted to follow, but got stuck here!"

The others nodded.

They'd witnessed it together.

What stunned them most was that those people, like Jiang Yuqiong, were unaffected by the natural formation.

This silenced Jiang Yuqiong.

In an instant, his mind raced with thoughts!

"Even I need to fully unleash my bloodline to ignore this suppression!"

"Yet a group waltzed in effortlessly?"

His gaze sharpened.

Scenes flashed before him.

The holy array by Biling Lake, damaged at a corner.

The palace's treasure seals, showing signs of tampering.

Now, a group ignoring this formation's pressure, entering deeper.

All pointed to a hidden agenda!

"They're after something in the War Dragon Secret Realm! They slipped in during the trial."

"But what do they want?"

Feng Wuchou echoed his suspicion.

"Where's that canyon? Take me there!"

Jiang Yuqiong's brow lifted, his voice deepening.

Ancient Heaven Sect's stuff wasn't for just anyone to touch!

Having seen this, he had to investigate!

As he spoke, spiritual energy surged within him, pouring into the jade pendant at his collar.

"Buzz!!!"

A hazy glow expanded, forming a ten-foot light shield enveloping Feng Wuchou, Hui Shoutao, Han Xuan, and the others.

Instantly, they felt light, their energy flowing freely.

The fearsome force no longer touched them.

"Boss, that treasure of yours…"

Hui Shoutao's eyes locked on the pendant, practically drooling.

He'd seen its might!

It withstood an eighth-tier array reversal.

Now, it radiated boundless energy, neutralizing the formation's pressure.

This was an extraordinary treasure.

Hui Shoutao's eyes gleamed.

Jiang Yuqiong smacked his head, then activated the Golden-Winged Peng runes. With a flap, he whipped up a gust and soared into the sky!
