The glowing barrier around them continued to rise, sealing off all possible escape routes.
With such a massive formation, Skylar and the others realized that fleeing in any direction was no longer an option.
“Run upward! While the formation hasn’t fully closed, hurry!” Skylar shouted, taking the lead as he shot upward.
The overwhelming sense of crisis brought on by the formation struck him-this was undoubtedly an ancient one. He believed Jared, with his abilities, could not have set up such a vast and powerful array in such a short time!
Seeing this, all the Demonic Cultivators followed Skylar, hoping to escape the massive formation before it completely sealed off the area.
Realizing their intentions, Jared brandished the Dragonslayer Sword and swiftly swung it to block their path.
He had spent considerable resources setting up this formation, and he couldn’t let these intruders escape!
Skylar’s excessive caution had caused the formation to activate prematurely. Jared had no choice but to intercept them.
Jared had initially intended to lure them into the
depths of the sea to activate the Demon Annihilation Formation, ensuring that they would have no chance of escaping.
But now, with the formation triggered early, they had time to react!
Feeling the power of Jared’s sword light, Skylar and the others had to slow their pace.
“Jared, are you trying to die? With the formation active, you’ll be trapped here too! None of us will survive!” Skylar exclaimed, exasperated by Jared’s obstruction.
If they were trapped in the formation, Jared wouldn’t survive either. They would all perish together!
But Jared coldly chuckled. “You’re quite naive. This formation was set up by me to deal with you. How could I die? It’s you who will perish.”
As Jared’s words fell, the Demon Annihilation Formation finally closed, unleashing its tremendous power.
“This is impossible! How could you have set this up? There’s no way you could create such a massive formation in such a short time!”
Skylar’s face reflected disbelief as he struggled to accept Jared’s claim.
“What’s impossible for you doesn’t mean it’s
impossible for me. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t. Your abilities are just trash compared to mine,” Jared taunted, aiming to crush Skylar’s pride.
Skylar’s anger boiled, but suddenly, a blinding light surged from the seabed, as if the sun were rising beneath their feet.
Countless beams of spiritual light shot outward, densely packed like swords, penetrating the void around them!
Overwhelmed by the radiant energy, Skylar couldn’t afford to waste words with Jared anymore. He quickly enveloped himself in black energy, forming a shield to resist the spiritual light.
“Ah…” one Demonic Cultivator screamed as a beam struck him, instantly turning him into a mist of blood!
“What kind of formation is this? Why is it so powerful? The force of this spiritual light is incredible!” another exclaimed.
“Is everything within several miles just this stuff? Are we doomed?”
The multitude of demon cultivators all wore expressions of utter shock!
Even if they tried to run upward, there was no chance left. The entire formation had closed in.
The area they were in was completely enveloped.
These Demonic Cultivators had already become lambs ready for slaughter.
With no other options, the Demonic Cultivators could only deploy their own abilities to withstand the onslaught of spiritual light.
But facing such a relentless barrage, panic set in among them.
Their strength would eventually run out, but the waves of spiritual light pouring forth from the formation felt endless.
The Demonic Cultivators couldn’t afford to be careless. They poured all their energy into their defenses, with some even resorting to burning their blood essence.
As long as their blood essence didn’t run dry, there was still a chance for survival. Even if their strength would diminish, it was better than certain death.
