Before Yun Lintian could say anything, a sense of danger immediately rose in everyone’s heart. At the same time, a gently swaying red light suddenly lit up on top of the altar and transformed into a human-shaped soul slightly taller than three meters in height.
Its facial features resembled a dignified middle-aged man with a hint of arrogance between its brows. Its red glowing eyes swept over everybody in this place, causing everyone’s heart to skip a beat for a second.
Lei Jin was the first to react. He opened his palm, and a huge lightning barrier appeared in front of everyone. His expression turned solemn as he spoke. “Who are you?”
As a peak monarch, Lei Jin was extremely sensitive toward danger. He could perceive this red-figure in front of him was insanely powerful, far stronger than anybody here.
The red figure looked at the lightning barrier, and his illusory mouth gradually formed into a grin. “It’s been a long time since someone came here.” He looked at everyone one by one and then paused his gaze on Yun Lintian before saying. “You are quite special. This emperor can feel it. Why don’t you come here and offer your soul to this emperor?”
Zhou Qingyu and others glanced at Yun Lintian worriedly and subconsciously moved to Yun Lintian’s front, blocking the red figure’s vision.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian’s heart was warm. He didn’t expect these people to protect him like this. They should already know the strength of this red-figure was not low at all, yet they still did this.
Yun Lintian’s mind moved. “Hongyue, do you know this guy?”
Hongyue stared at the red figure for a while and said slowly. “Scarlet Soul Emperor… How could he appear here?”
“Scarlet Soul Emperor?” Yun Lintian frowned… Emperor? Which emperor?
“I didn’t expect he actually came to this world. Heh, what a greedy bastard.” Hongyue snorted coldly.
“Can you stop mumbling to yourself? How can I deal with this guy?” Yun Lintian interjected.
“Simple. Look at the four corners.” Hongyue said.
Yun Lintian secretly activated Eyes of Heaven and glanced at the four corners. Four formation nodes with twinkle blue lights immediately appeared in Yun Lintian’s line of sight, but he didn’t recognize this formation.
“It’s a Starlight Seal formation, divine rank one. Judging from its current power, it won’t be long before it totally wears out. All you need to do is make sure these four nodes can operate further. Handling him should be easy by then.” Hongyue explained calmly.
“Starlight Seal formation?” Yun Lintian tried to recall information related to this formation, but he couldn’t find anything in the end. It seemed this formation was on the later pages of the Myriad Formation Scripture.
Yun Lintian put this thought aside and secretly communicated with everyone. “Try not to damage the four corners. There are formation nodes that restrain this person over there. I can enhance its power, and we will be fine.”
The expressions of Zhou Qingyu and the rest did not change in the slightest when they heard this. They simply made a small gesture to tell Yun Lintian that they understood this.
The red figure, Scarlet Soul Emperor, laughed faintly and said. “Marvelous. You can discover the Starlight Seal formation at a glance. This is getting interesting now.”
Zhou Qingyu stared at Scarlet Soul Emperor and said coldly. “We didn’t do anything to you. Why did you hurt my people?”
“Your people?… Oh, you mean those ants?” Scarlet Soul Emperor crossed his arms before his chest and looked at Zhou Qingyu with a faint smile. “Honestly, their souls are too poor. They don’t taste good at all.”
Zhou Qingyu’s eyes narrowed, and an exquisite black longbow silently appeared in her hand. She quickly pulled the string and sent a sharp black profound light toward Scarlet Soul Emperor.
Bang!
The black profound light easily passed through Scarlet Soul Emperor’s illusory body and hit the wall behind him. Evidently, any physical attack was useless against him.
Scarlet Soul Emperor shook his head with a smile. “Why are you so fierce? You know, this emperor likes an obedient woman the most.”
At this moment, Lei Feifei suddenly shouted and sent several thunder palm prints toward Scarlet Soul Emperor. “Go!”
Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate to active Shadow Step and arrived at the top right corner of the room. He took out a handful of the best-grade Profound Stones and directly stuffed them into the formation.
Fierce scarlet light flashed across Scarlet Soul Emperor’s eyes as he waved his illusory hand, and all the incoming thunder palm prints instantly vanished. At the same time, his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind Yun Lintian. He pointed his finger at Yun Lintian’s head, and a scarlet beam instantly shot out.
“Watch out!” Qin Wuji seemed to expect this beforehand. His figure reappeared before Scarlet Soul Emperor at almost the same time, and a huge wind barrier quickly appeared from his palm, completely blocking the latter’s attack.
BOOM! .
Qin Wuji and Yun Lintian were immediately swept away by the impact and managed to stabilize themselves on the ground a few meters away.
“Thank you, Elder Qin.” Yun Lintian said gratefully, even though he could avoid the attack by himself.
Qin Wuji looked at his bleeding palm with a frown and said. “Go. Do what you have to do and leave this to us.”
Yun Lintian noticed Qin Wuji’s bloody palm, and his expression became solemn. He didn’t say a word and executed Shadow Step to the top left corner.
After his attack was blocked by Qin Wuji, Scarlet Soul Emperor frowned slightly and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. “This damn seal! Just you wait, Xia Nongyue! I will definitely make you pay the price after I go out of this crappy place!”
“This emperor won’t play with all of you anymore.” Scarlet Soul Emperor clapped his hands together, and a powerful scarlet aura instantly burst out of his body, quickly covering the entire room.
Lei Jin and Lei Feifei reacted in almost an instant. They jointly formed a huge lightning barrier to cover everyone, including Yun Lintian, who was injecting the Profound Stones into the formation node.
In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue’s eyes flashed with a strange light as she muttered. “Xia Nongyue? You also came here?”
