643: Chapter 64 Mutual Destruction

When the Lower Being said this, the Three Saints fell silent for a moment.

It was true that, facing such a massive gap in strength, using the power of the three of them to activate the Evil-Slaying Killing Formation...

...the speed of the strangulation was indeed greater than the speed of recovery, but it depended on by how much.

If the difference wasn't significant, it would take a very, very long time to completely strangle it to death.

And the three of them might not be able to hold on for that long.

"A battlefield at the Saint Realm level doesn't have much impact on the overall situation. We don't need to eliminate him; we just need to ensure we stall him for a long enough time."

"How long is 'long enough'?"

"I don't know."

"As long as possible."

"Anyway... the three of us don't plan on leaving this battlefield alive."

The Evil-Slaying Killing Formation, an array specifically created to target the side of the Evil Gods.

Even if one's own strength was significantly inferior, it could still achieve excellent results.

The array was currently being led by three Saint Realms, so it naturally manifested the characteristics of the three Saint Realms.

This Lower Being was also aware of the killing formation's power, so he did not attempt to bypass it through other means.

Instead, he chose the most direct and frontal method—forcing his way through!

Within the range covered by the killing formation, every corner of space echoed with incessant bell tolls.

They were much denser and more powerful than when Saint Ring had fought previously.

Then, waves of black hurricanes swept through, constantly scouring that Lower Being.

If one looked closely, these black winds were actually composed of countless small pebbles.

Swept and blown by sword qi, they scoured him over and over again.

The power of the Ancient Battlefield itself, combined with the suppressive force carried by the bell tolls within the Evil-Slaying Killing Formation.

The two suppressive forces stacked together, forcing the Lower Being to passively endure the damage while remaining unable to move.

However, even this level of strangulation power was still somewhat insufficient against his resilience.

His recovery ability was truly terrifying; even with the enhancement of the array, the speed of strangulation was still slower than the speed of recovery.

Not only that, but there was an even worse point.

That was, besides being unable to move for a moment at the beginning, the fused Lower Being's body actually trembled slightly now.

Although the movement was very slight, it meant that the suppressive force was starting to lose its grip.

It was like pulling out nails; one didn't need to remove them all, just the key ones.

The remaining nails would naturally be unable to withstand the burden accumulated upon them later.

One Saint Realm spoke, "It is time."

"Then let's do it!"

The remaining two Saint Realms immediately followed suit with their actions.

The Quasi-Saint that Chen De was substituting for had naturally been unable to flee the vast range of the Ancient Battlefield in such a short time.

At this moment, he was also frozen in place by the special suppressive force here, his posture still maintaining the motion of sprinting forward.

However, perhaps due to the protection of the playback, while his body was halted, fortunately, his thoughts were not.

His mind could still function, allowing him to continue watching the battle above.

As for the other experts, they were likely completely frozen, with even their thoughts coming to a standstill.

In that case, he would just quietly watch the show.

The more one does, the more mistakes one makes; it was better to stay low-profile under the noses of powerful experts.

Thus, ever since entering this place, Chen De had been very passive, keeping his head down... The bodies of the three Saint Realms gradually became blurred and transparent.

Their intentions were now very clear.

They were using themselves as fuel to power this formidable array.

The effect was also obvious; the three different styles of attacks within the Grand Array became sharper and more frequent.

The Lower Being, who had looked like he was about to resist again, became deathly still once more.

And the speed of strangulation climbed as the Three Saints became increasingly illusory.

In almost the blink of an eye, it completely caught up with the speed of recovery, leading to a stalemate between the two sides.

"It is indeed still lacking a bit."

Saint Ring glanced at the scene within the Grand Array and couldn't help but sigh.

By now, the figures of the three were so illusory they were almost invisible.

Although a tiny bit remained that hadn't been sacrificed, even if it were all thrown in, the speed of strangulation would only be a hair faster.

Even if this tiny bit existed every moment, it was ultimately too little.

Compared to the mass of the fused Lower Being, it would be impossible to completely strangle him to death before the killing formation stopped running.

Although they had done their best, what happened after their deaths had nothing to do with them.

However, since they had already come this far, they didn't mind doing a little more.

Throughout this great war, the three of them had always deferred to Saint Ring, and now they wanted to hear his opinion.

If there were still no ideas, future matters would be left entirely to posterity to resolve.

Saint Ring fell silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, I do have an idea..."

Then, the sacred ring bell, which had been broken and pieced back together, appeared in his hand.

"Previously, to minimize impacts and variables as much as possible, we isolated the Ancient Battlefield from the outside world. Both sides exist in different space-times; those below the Saint Realm cannot discover it."

"Therefore, I will send this bell out in pieces and leave some inheritances in each part."

"Only those who cultivate the inheritances within, or members of my Sacred Ring Sect, and at specific locations, will possibly be able to enter this place."

"When that time comes, it can both preserve our inheritances and finish what we started."

Given the uncertain situation, he didn't dare to leak information about this place recklessly.

This included those who were once reliable allies; after their deaths, they might become unreliable.

Of course, there was another possibility during this period: it could be discovered by a certain Saint Realm.

If that happened, what would occur would no longer be within their control.

The Ancient Battlefield is within the Sacred Ring Domain, and outside is the sacred ring bell.

Unfortunately, for this great war, all the Quasi-Saints and Immortal Law Realm Ninth Transformations of the Sacred Ring Sect were mobilized and remained here.

A single battle had nearly wiped out the entire sect.

It was foreseeable that the Sacred Ring Sect would inevitably fall into decline—an unprecedented decline.

It was not impossible for others to take advantage of the situation and swarm in to destroy and replace them.

Saint Ring's consideration of this plan now was not without the intention of supporting his own faction once more.

The other two Saint Realms had no objections to this.

As long as it didn't interfere with the main objective, they would turn a blind eye to a bit of selfishness.

Thus, with a casual toss from Saint Ring, the sacred ring bell broke free from the stagnant space-time of the Ancient Battlefield and flew toward the outside world.

Just as it left the Ancient Battlefield, it immediately split into several pieces, turning into streaks of light that shot off in all directions.
