Such was the nature of this ancient formation. If one didn't get close enough, they wouldn't be able to sense it at all. By the time one got close enough, it would be too late.
Whoosh whoosh!
Soon, the West Wind Demon Monarch arrived with his fifteen Heavenly Demons and hurried toward Ye Qing's location.
Before long, the West Wind Demon Monarch had barged into the Great Life Withering Formation. The West Wind Demon Monarch didn't even realize that he was in a desperate situation.
"Stinking demon brat, you'd better hand over the Demon God Battleaxe immediately. If you do, I'll spare your life. If you continue to be stubborn, only death awaits you!"
The West Wind Demon Monarch laughed maniacally as a terrifying murderous intent flashed in his eyes. With the help of fifteen powerful Heavenly Demons, the West Wind Demon Monarch was absolutely confident that he could suppress all the powerful demons present.
In fact, the West Wind Demon Monarch alone was enough to stop the four demon patriarchs.
The Heavenly Demon Clan elders were more than enough to deal with the remaining demon patriarchs.
"West Wind Demon Monarch, you're so annoying. Wasn't the lesson I taught you last time enough?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, filled with murderous intent.
"Brat, do you think you'll have another chance to sneak up on me this time?
Just you wait, your end is coming soon! "
The West Wind Demon Monarch spat out these harsh words. The murderous intent in his eyes was so intense that it made one shudder. A wild wind blew in the desert, making it seem even more desolate.
"West Wind Demon Monarch, before you act, let me kindly remind you that you've already fallen into the Great Life Withering Formation. If you insist on attacking, you'll only be hastening your deaths!"
The ancient green snake demon stepped forward and transmitted a divine thought. His voice was filled with schadenfreude.
The four demon patriarchs were already in a terrible mood because they were trapped in the Great Life Withering Formation and couldn't escape.
But now that the West Wind Demon Monarch and many seventh level Spirit Grandmasters of the Heavenly Demon Clan had come to keep them company, the demon patriarchs were naturally happy.
"Ancient green snake demon, are you kidding me? What ancient formation can't I recognize?"
The West Wind Demon Monarch sneered, not believing the ancient green snake demon's words. He thought that the other party was purely stalling for time.
"Devil Monarch of the West Wind, if you don't believe me, why don't you carefully sense it yourself and see if the life essence in your body is constantly flowing away?"
The ancient phoenix demon coldly said. With this reminder, the West Wind Demon Monarch's complexion immediately changed as he realized something. In the legends, there was indeed an extremely mysterious array formation called the Life Withering Array!
Moreover, within the Life Withering Array, the life force within one's body would be drained a thousand times faster than in the outside world!
"Life Withering Array?
No, I don't believe it. How could I have encountered such a formation? It can't be so coincidental! "
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind grinned. He didn't care about the effects of the Great Array of Life Withering. Right now, the only thing in his eyes was the Demon God Battleaxe. Everything else was meaningless. No one could stop him from seizing the Demon God Battleaxe.
"Sou!"
Under the command of the Devil Lord of the West Wind, the fifteen elders of the Heavenly Demon Clan joined forces to attack. The aura that erupted from their bodies was exceptionally powerful, and they cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. Compared to the elders of the Demon Race, it was a completely one-sided situation.
"Devil Monarch of the West Wind, don't be so arrogant. We'll take you on!"
The ancient green snake demon, the withered vine demon, and the others of the Demon Clan charged over. With the four elders joining forces, the power that erupted from them reached an unimaginable level.
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind stirred up strong winds and fought fiercely against the four elders of the Demon Clan. He wasn't at a disadvantage!
After all, their cultivations were all at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Grandmaster realm. Even with the Devil Monarch of the West Wind's strength, he still hadn't broken through to the Spirit Grandmaster realm.
It was a miracle that the Devil Monarch of the West Wind was able to hold his ground against the four of them at the same level as him.
"Wind Demon Divine Arts!"
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind roared and activated his cultivation technique. The Eternal spiritual energy in his body surged wildly and a violent force erupted, shocking the world.
However, in the face of the Devil Monarch of the West Wind's ferocious attacks, the four elders of the Demon Clan were very cautious. They didn't fight the Devil Monarch of the West Wind at all, and instead adopted a completely defensive posture.
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind couldn't take them down after a long time. Even with the power of his Wind Demon Divine Arts, he couldn't win in a short time.
"You four cowards, do you only know how to defend?"
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind was furious. Their defense was watertight and he couldn't find any opportunity to attack at all.
"Devil Monarch of the West Wind, go ahead and use all your ultimate moves. If you don't use them, you're a coward!"
The Vigorous Golden Ant Demon taunted.
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind was about to use his trump card when his expression suddenly changed. He realized that something was wrong. He had only been here for a short while, but the life essence in his body had decreased by a lot. It was very likely that he had really fallen into the Great Withering Array!
"Something's wrong!
Something's wrong here! "
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind stopped his attack. The four Demon Race ancestors were all smiling at him. Although the four ancestors didn't have a way to leave, but for some reason, they were very happy to see the Devil Monarch of the West Wind enter.
On the other side, the elders of the Heavenly Demon Clan and the experts of the Demon Clan didn't continue to attack.
With their strong strength, they naturally sensed that something was wrong. How could they have the mood to continue fighting?
"Leader, it seems that we're really trapped in the Great Withering Array!" A Heavenly Demon came up to remind him.
The Devil Monarch of the West Wind's expression became even more gloomy.
On the other hand, the Demon Clan's camp seemed much more relaxed. Perhaps it was because they had a new scapegoat, so they were in a good mood.
Ye Qing's face was glowing, as if he wasn't worried about being trapped in the array at all.
"I've been a little short of life essence recently, but it's okay. Brothers, have you forgotten that I'm a third-stage supreme chef?"
Ye Qing said with a smile. There were very few chefs in the Spirit Grandmaster realm. After all, everyone was busy with cultivation and wouldn't waste precious time on cooking.
The food cooked by third-stage supreme chefs was mainly targeted at Mystic Emperor realm martial artists and would be of great help to them.
However, third-stage supreme food was also effective for Spirit Grandmasters. Of course, the quality of the food had to be high enough.
As for food above the third-stage supreme level, it was only a legend in the True Spirit Domain.
In the ancient times, there were very few amazing chefs who could become Eternal chefs and cook Eternal delicacies.
However, the glory of the ancient times was no more, and Eternal delicacies only existed in ancient records.
The four demon ancestors' eyes lit up when they heard this. They knew that Ye Qing was an expert in cooking. Perhaps he could make heaven-defying food that could greatly increase the life essence in their bodies?
That way, they would be able to last longer in the Great Withering Array!
The four demon ancestors didn't know that Ye Qing had an Eternal Pagoda. They were now counting on Ye Qing to save them with his exquisite cooking skills.
