642: Chapter 639 Demon-Slaying Array

Crack.

The cracks on the surface of the bell gradually became more apparent, eventually developing into deep fissures.

As the third finger extended, the sacred ring bell could no longer hold out and shattered into several fragments with a thunderous boom.

Chen De, who was watching the battle, noticed that there were exactly ten fragments, no more and no less.

Clearly, this was how the sacred ring bell split into the ten Immortal-grade Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

At the same moment the sacred ring bell shattered, the face of the one in the middle of the three Saint Extreme Realm experts suddenly turned pale.

But he recovered quickly, the paleness vanishing in an instant, leaving only a smear of crimson seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Evidently, having one's lifebound spiritual treasure shattered caused the owner to suffer a severe backlash.

He then took a step forward, his right hand making a grasping motion in the air.

The scattered fragments shot back once more, piecing themselves back together into the shape of the sacred ring bell.

However, the joints where the fragments met remained visible as cracks before one's eyes.

Naturally, it was extremely difficult to fully repair a spiritual treasure of this level.

Although the other two had long been mentally prepared for the performance of this Lower Being.

Actually seeing his current performance caused their hearts to sink nonetheless.

Shattering a Saint-grade innate spiritual treasure controlled by a Saint Extreme Realm expert with just three fingers—even the three of them working together couldn't possibly achieve such a feat.

And the opponent's current appearance clearly showed he still had strength to spare.

Suddenly, a pebble shot toward the Lower Being!

The Saint Extreme Realm expert wielding the greatsword also vanished from the position the three had occupied.

By the time his presence was detected again, he had already closed in on the Lower Being, swinging his sword heavily toward the opponent's face.

The pebble had also reached a position less than three inches from the Lower Being's brow.

Just a tiny bit more and it would have shot into his head.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out as a figure was forced backward frantically, both hands pressed against the greatsword.

But a massive thrusting force seemed to be attached to the blade, making it impossible for him to fully neutralize it for a moment.

"No!"

A shrill, miserable scream rang out from near Chen De.

Chen De looked toward the sound and found it was a Quasi-Saint from his own camp.

At this moment, his body was covered in cracks, looking like a porcelain doll about to shatter.

In the next instant, fragments fell from his body piece by piece, gradually fading and disappearing as they dropped.

Seeing this situation, Chen De quickly guessed what had happened.

Presumably, this Quasi-Saint couldn't resist watching the battle above and suffered a backlash.

This was the final stage of the battle, where both sides were fighting tooth and nail.

Therefore, it could be said to be the most intense moment of the entire battle.

Normally, watching wouldn't necessarily result in death; one might just get injured.

But he chose the moment when the backlash was at its most intense and powerful, and when his side's Saint Extreme Realm experts were least able to protect him.

With all those negative buffs stacked, taking the full damage—who else would die if not him?

Chen De was actually following the battle above as well, but he didn't suffer any backlash.

It wasn't because he was in a playback; that had nothing to do with it, as he could feel the backlash still existed.

Like the power of distortion and pollution transmitted when those Lower Beings arrived in the previous playback.

Even those watching through the playback would still be affected.

The reason he didn't suffer a backlash was likely because the inheritance power here helped him shoulder the burden.

Otherwise, while he didn't know about the other four, Chen De himself might have met his end here.

He really didn't know what that person was thinking.

Perhaps the commotion was too great, and he subconsciously looked in that direction.

Since there was such a person in the playback, there was a high probability they existed in the distant past as well.

As for escaping, Chen De followed along. Since everyone was running, he ran too, just in case it was some main quest... Meanwhile, in the Saint Extreme Realm battlefield above.

The Saint Extreme Realm expert holding the greatsword finally steadied himself, but there was a clear fist print on his greatsword.

With the fist print as the center, cracks spread out in all directions.

The area where he held the greatsword was already covered in fissures, and the closer to the blade, the denser the cracks became.

The cracks followed his hand, spreading all the way to the base of his arm before finally stopping.

The brief exchange just now was an obvious disadvantage for the Three Saints.

That Lower Being was still in his original position, maintaining his punching posture.

Then, he suddenly clenched the hand he had punched with once more.

He then turned it over and opened it, revealing a small stone inside.

Under their gaze, this small diamond-shaped stone scattered like powder in the wind.

Each of the Three Saints had made a move, and the result was three spiritual treasures: one destroyed, one shattered, and one nearly broken.

Dignified Saint-grade innate spiritual treasures were as easily destroyed here as the weapons of mortals.

"Do the three of you have any other methods? Bring them out."

After fighting until now, this fused Lower Being finally spoke for the first time.

From the performance of the Three Saints just now, they had clearly long since abandoned the plan to achieve victory through direct combat.

Otherwise, they couldn't have remained indifferent during his fusion process.

They should have at least caused some trouble.

Sheng Huan, who had made the first move, smiled. "Did you notice? Unfortunately, it's already too late."

The Lower Being remained expressionless, glancing at the Ancient Battlefield before saying, "So there are arrangements here?"

"Correct."

Sheng Huan did not choose to deny it; or rather, at this point, there was no longer any need to deny it.

"You want to use this battlefield to obliterate me?"

This was the conclusion the Lower Being reached.

As soon as he said this, time throughout the entire Ancient Battlefield began to slow down.

It was like changing from clear water into glue.

And now the glue was drying, increasingly approaching solidification.

This battlefield was too vast; so vast that even now, not many people had moved to the edge of the battlefield.

Their speed, however, plummeted at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Some people were only a few light-years away, yet they suddenly became as slow as a crawling turtle.

From the very beginning of setting up this battlefield, two sets of preparations had been made.

If their side held the upper hand, this place would merely serve as a battlefield.

But if they fell into a disadvantage, it could also be used to trap the enemy here forever.

The three Saint Extreme Realm experts thought even more ruthlessly, intending to directly use themselves as the price to completely strangle and kill him.

Evil-Slaying Killing Formation!

In this battlefield, an Evil-Slaying Killing Formation specifically designed to target the Evil God's side had also been laid down.

Unfortunately, their abilities were insufficient; the drawback was that it could only cover a certain range of the Ancient Battlefield.

They hadn't expected the Lower Beings to all fuse into one before, so to prevent any from escaping, they activated the Ancient Battlefield's trapping mechanism.

This move was indiscriminate, and once activated, it could not be stopped midway.

"The Evil-Slaying Killing Formation..."

The Lower Being clearly recognized what this move was.

"The strength of you three is far inferior to mine. Even if you use the Evil-Slaying Killing Formation, don't dream of completely strangling me anytime soon."
