Chapter 1604: Looks like you!

Before Huo Jian could recover from his complex emotions, Dongfang Huizhong walked over again and kicked him in his lower abdomen.

“Ah!”

The fellow immediately let out a pig-like wail. His cultivation had just been crippled, and now he couldn't even be a man, completely becoming a cripple among cripples.

The people of the Heavenly Palace were utterly dumbfounded. From the moment the main gate was forcibly breached, they had been filled with anger.

A junior who dared to offend the Heavenly Palace would be instantly killed, but no one expected the current outcome.

Hall Master Xin Wenli was injured, Grand Elder Luo Shixin was injured, and now even Vice Palace Master Huo Dongping, a Void Realm expert, was injured to this extent.

Not to mention Huo Jian, who had been completely crippled.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace, they had always maintained a high and mighty attitude, never imagining such a tragic end.

“Junior, how dare you!”

At this moment, Huo Dongping crawled up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage. He never expected his seemingly perfect plan to turn out this way.

He hadn't even touched a single hair on Ye Bufan, yet his only Grandson had been crippled.

Carrying boundless hatred, the True Qi in his body circulated wildly, suppressing his injuries.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to defeat a Void Realm expert, but difficult to kill one. Although that punch just now severely wounded him, it wasn’t enough to be fatal.

“Ye, you forced my hand.”

Huo Dongping roared furiously, shouting towards the Heavenly Palace: “My command, activate the Primordial Killing Formation!”

“Vice Palace Master, isn’t that inappropriate?”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man urgently interjected. It was Liao Changsheng, the Second Elder of the Heavenly Palace.

He naturally knew very well about the Primordial Killing Formation that Huo Dongping had just mentioned. It was the Heavenly Palace’s guardian Formation, possessing immense power, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Within the Killing Formation, not even a mosquito could survive.

However, this Formation also consumed an enormous amount of energy. Once activated, it would take at least three years to recover before it could be used again. According to the Heavenly Palace’s rules, the Primordial Killing Formation must never be used unless it was a matter of life or death.

Huo Dongping was now desperate. The Lord of the Heavenly Palace still hadn't emerged from seclusion. If they dragged this on any longer, not only would they fail to kill Ye Bufan, but he might not even be able to save his Grandson and himself.

In this situation, he could no longer care about anything else and directly decided to activate the Formation.

“The Lord of the Heavenly Palace is not here, everything is decided by me.”

Huo Dongping had made up his mind and shouted loudly again: “Activate the Formation for me.”

The Primordial Killing Formation was guarded by the Four Great Elders of the Heavenly Palace. Upon receiving the Vice Palace Master’s command, they no longer hesitated and immediately activated the Formation.

In the blink of an eye, the sky changed color, a thunderclap echoed in the air, winds howled furiously, sand and stones flew, and a mist, appearing from nowhere, rose up, instantly covering the sky and sun, enveloping the entire Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, everyone found themselves unable to see their own hands, completely engulfed in the dense fog.

Moreover, everyone could clearly feel a sharp killing intent mixed within the thick mist, as if it could tear people into a million pieces at any moment.

The reason the Primordial Killing Formation was so powerful was because it was a composite Formation, containing both a maze Formation, an illusion Formation, and a killing Formation. When combined, it left people defenseless.

The people of the Heavenly Palace felt the power of the great Formation and shook their heads one after another.

“With the Primordial Killing Formation activated, that junior is already destined to be a dead man…”

“To be able to force the Vice Palace Master to this extent, that junior can be proud even in death…”

“What a pity for our guardian Formation. Once activated this time, we’ll have to wait another three years…”

Everyone whispered among themselves, having already pronounced Ye Bufan’s death sentence.

“Ye, how dare you offend the dignity of my Heavenly Palace! How dare you touch my Grandson! Today, I will tear you into a million pieces!”

From within the dense fog came the Vice Palace Master Huo Dongping’s furious roar, “Junior, aren’t you capable? Aren’t you able to defeat Void Realm experts?

But what does that matter? Under the Primordial Killing Formation, you can only wait for death! If you’re so capable, break my Formation too!”

Originally, the old man was just too suppressed by Ye Bufan and wanted to vent his pent-up emotions through words.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Bufan said coldly, “As you wish!”

After saying that, he kicked out into the Void Realm, and then everyone heard a crisp cracking sound. Immediately afterward, the winds in the sky stagnated, the surrounding killing intent disappeared, and even the thick mist began to dissipate.

“Ah! What’s going on?”

The Disciples of the Heavenly Palace were completely dumbfounded. The most they had endured today was shock, probably more than all the decades they had lived combined.

In their understanding, the Primordial Killing Formation was infinitely powerful, and once activated, it was a fight to the death. They never imagined that it would be terminated just after being activated.

The most shocked was Huo Dongping. As the controller of the Formation, he was not hindered by the mist at all and could see the situation inside clearly.

The reason the Formation stopped was because Ye Bufan’s kick just now directly destroyed the Formation’s core.

“This… this…”

This left him utterly astonished. As a guardian Formation, the high Rank of the Primordial Killing Formation was self-evident. Previously, the Heavenly Palace had invited countless spell masters to test it, and all of them were at a loss.

This gave them enough confidence in this Formation, never imagining that someone could break the Formation with a single kick.

Amidst everyone’s shock, the Primordial Killing Formation had been completely deactivated, and everything returned to its previous state.

Ye Bufan looked at Huo Dongping with a cold gaze: “Old dog, aren’t you coming over to die!”

“Junior, this is the Heavenly Palace, it’s not your place to be arrogant!”

After saying that, he bowed towards the tall mountain behind him: “Your subordinate Huo Dongping requests the Lord of the Heavenly Palace to emerge from seclusion and slay the invading junior!”

“Your subordinates request the Lord of the Heavenly Palace to emerge from seclusion and slay the invading junior!”

In an instant, countless Heavenly Palace Disciples knelt down in unison towards the mountain peak. Now, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace who had not shown himself had become their last hope.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Palace would suffer a great humiliation today and would be completely trampled underfoot.

“Who dares to offend my Heavenly Palace!”

A moment later, a majestic voice came from the mountaintop.

“The Lord of the Heavenly Palace has emerged from seclusion, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace has really emerged from seclusion!”

Huo Dongping was so excited that old tears streamed down his face. Fortunately, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace really did emerge, otherwise, his old life might not have been saved today.

The other Disciples were also incredibly excited, one by one overjoyed. As long as the Lord of the Heavenly Palace made a move, this junior, no matter how powerful, would not escape death.

While some rejoiced, others despaired. While they were incredibly excited, Situ Changkong and An Daoquan’s faces were ashen, their hearts sinking completely to the bottom.

If this Lord of the Heavenly Palace had not suppressed Ye Bufan, perhaps he could have swept through the Heavenly Palace today, but once this Lord of the Heavenly Palace emerged from seclusion, no one could contend against him.

Under everyone’s gaze, a figure appeared on the peak of the mountain, and then instantly arrived before everyone.

This was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a gray robe with long hair draped over his shoulders, like a Wuxia hero who had stepped out of a Wuxia world.

Although he was a few years older, his appearance was still handsome, and his expression exuded immense majesty.

As soon as this person appeared, his powerful Aura made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

As the Vampire Queen, Situ Dianmo was not bothered by these things. She sized up the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, then whispered in Ye Bufan’s ear: “Ye Dage, this person looks so much like you!”
