The dark-red world was deathly silent. There wasn't even the slightest bit of vitality spreading out, as if it was a land of death. This deathly silence seemed to have started since ancient times and had continued until now.

Swoosh!
The sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out in this deathly silent world. Two rays of light had appeared in the distant sky. In the blink of an eye, they had streaked across the horizon.
Along with the appearance of the two streaks of light, the deathly silence in this region was finally broken as ripples appeared in the stifling atmosphere.
The two streaks of light were naturally Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli, who had barged into this place. The two of them had decided to temporarily cooperate after their previous conversation.
After all, the two of them were cautious and fearful of this strange land. If they could cooperate, they would have a higher chance of success.
However, the two of them did not converse much as they travelled. Mu Chen also did not take the initiative to speak, instead, he lagged behind Zhantai Liuli by half a body, allowing her to lead the way. Clearly, even if the two of them had chosen to cooperate, the cautious Mu Chen still did not completely trust Zhantai Liuli.
The two of them did not speak along the way. This sort of journey lasted for roughly ten minutes before Zhantai Liuli's speed gradually slowed down. Her elegant face grew more and more solemn.
Sensing her slowing down, Mu Chen looked into the distance and his expression slightly trembled. In the distance, the dark-red world had gradually turned dark. That dark region looked like a bottomless prison from afar.
In that black-hole-like space, one could vaguely see a stone throne.
There seemed to be a blurry figure on that stone throne. A powerful pressure was being emitted from that blurry figure, gradually filling the entire space.
Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli stopped at the same time. They did not venture any further, but stared at the blurry figure on the stone throne in that dark region.
"After waiting for tens of thousands of years.
In the end, someone came! "
A hoarse and ancient voice rang out from the darkness.
The darkness rippled as the blurry figure on the stone throne slowly raised his head.
It was a somewhat sunken face that was filled with the scars of time. However, his eyes appeared somewhat empty. When his empty eyes saw Mu Chen and Li Yundong, his heart trembled.
It was as if there was a radiance being emitted from it.
"I am the Sky Formation Emperor. Since the two of you were able to break through the Four Spirits Battle Formation that I left behind, you should be talented in battle intent. My will is about to dissipate, and my inheritance will be left to the fated one!"
The blurry figure said in a hoarse voice.
His strength seemed to be gradually disappearing. He powerlessly waved his hand and said, "The two of you, come forward."
Hearing his words, Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli's eyes flickered. But surprisingly, the two of them did not move and only stared at the Sky Formation Emperor.
When the silhouette saw that Mu Chen and Li Yundong did not move, nor did they have any intention to accept the inheritance, his stiffened face briefly froze. However, he did not speak a word and slowly leaned against the stone throne.
His body grew weaker and weaker, as if his will was about to dissipate.
However, Mu Chen and Li Yundong still did not move.
That silhouette did not move and the entire region fell into a deathly silence with a strange and stiff atmosphere enveloping this region.
The deathly silence lasted for ten-twenty minutes.
Zhantai Liuli gradually knitted her brows as she cast a glance at Mu Chen. However, the latter unnoticeably shook his head. Thus, she could only suppress the urgency in her heart.
When time passed once again, the eyes of the silhouette on the stone throne abruptly opened.
An evil light practically shot out from his eyes in an instant and his face had turned eerie at this moment. He stared at Mu Chen and Li Yundong and a sharp voice that contained some rage resounded, "You two brats can really endure it!"
Hearing his voice, Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli felt heavily relieved. The former smiled. "You're really bored to play such a trick."
"Pfft."
When Zhantai Liuli heard his words, she couldn't help chuckling and cast a glance at Mu Chen.
The other party could be considered an evil spirit that could invade the Sky Formation Emperor's body. But in the end, he had become a wild child in Mu Chen's words.
The other party was an evil spirit that could invade the body of the Sky Formation Emperor. But in the end, in Mu Chen's words, he had become a wild child that was behaving atrociously.
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' eerily stared at Mu Chen and his stiff face twitched as he eerily said, "A Fourth Grade Sovereign brat is not even comparable to an ant in my eyes. You actually dare to be so impudent before me!"
Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he said, "If you're really that capable, you would have long gotten rid of me. Is there a need for you to speak so much nonsense with me?"
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' eerily stared at Mu Chen and sneered, "What a cautious fellow. But if you guys want to waste time, then so be it. I have endured for tens of thousands of years, so why would I care about this bit of time?
If you guys want to obtain that fellow's inheritance without getting rid of me, I'm afraid that you guys are daydreaming. "
Mu Chen paid no attention to him as he looked at Zhantai Liuli and asked, "Where is the battle formation left behind by the Sky Formation Emperor that you mentioned?"
The body of the 'Sky Formation Emperor' had clearly been seized by the evil spirit. Although Mu Chen had no idea how much strength that fellow still had, he knew that the latter would definitely not enter the darkness so easily.
Therefore, if he wanted to get rid of that fellow, then he could only rely on the battle formation left behind by the 'Sky Formation Emperor'.
When Zhantai Liuli heard his words, she swept her gaze out and examined this region. But after a long while, she slightly knitted her brows. That's because she did not discover any traces left behind by the battle formation.
"Could it be that the battle formation has been destroyed by it?"
Zhantai Liuli slightly knitted her brows. But shortly after, she rejected that thought. If the battle formation had been destroyed, then the evil spirit would probably not use such a deceptive method and would directly kill the two of them.
Zhantai Liuli's gaze lightly flickered.
A brief moment later, she suddenly looked at the darkness and waved her hand. Instantly, a violent gale swept out with Spiritual Energy sweeping out, causing the black aura to be blown away.
As the black aura dissipated, the scenery below had also appeared in the eyes of Mu Chen and Mu Chen.
Immediately, the two of them narrowed their eyes.
Beneath the darkness, there was a troop of roughly ten thousand.
However, that troop seemed to be formed from statues. Their bodies were covered in black stone spots and they stood still. But vaguely, there was a heart-palpitating killing aura spreading out. Even after tens of thousands of years, it still existed.
"What a powerful troop!" Zhantai Liuli softly praised.
"They're not statues."
Mu Chen spoke with a grave gaze. He had noticed that although that troop had the appearance of statues, their expressions weren't empty.
Instead, there were some emotions within them.
"This troop is probably the personal troop of the Sky Formation Emperor, the strongest troop under him. Back then, when he was invaded by the evil spirit, this troop had used Spiritual Energy to petrify themselves to form a battle formation.
They're trying to kill the evil spirit in their bodies. "
Zhantai Liuli sighed, "Fortunately, this troop wasn't in the Four Spiritual Battle Formation. Otherwise, even if the power of the battle formation has been weakened by time, it's still not something that we can break through."
Mu Chen nodded his head as he carefully looked at the "stone troop". Shortly after, his gaze suddenly moved and he saw tens of thousands of grey beams of light shooting out from the top of the "stone troop", and those grey beams of light seemed to be emitting from the top of their heads.
Passing through the darkness, they seemed to have gathered beneath the stone throne of the 'Sky Formation Emperor'.
It seemed that it was because of those grey beams that the 'Sky Formation Emperor' couldn't leave the darkness.
In the darkness, when the 'Sky Formation Emperor' saw that his hidden 'stone troop' was discovered by Zhantai Liuli, his stiff face slightly changed and his eyes, which were filled with an evil aura, started to turn sinister.
"You two brats want to activate the battle formation left behind by that fellow?!" The 'Sky Formation Emperor sneered as his voice was filled with ridicule.
If he was at his peak, he could practically annihilate Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli with just a breath. Therefore, he did not place any importance on the two of them.
"Miss Zhantai, I'm afraid that we'll have to rely on you." Mu Chen looked at Zhantai Liuli and smiled.
Zhantai Liuli gently nodded her head as she clenched her fist and a light flashed.
A rough stone seal appeared in her hand, it was merely the size of a palm, but there were bizarre runes on it.
However, there were bizarre runes on it that Mu Chen wasn't unfamiliar with. They were Battle Runes
Mu Chen had also noticed that when Zhantai Liuli took out the stone seal, there seemed to be some trembling noises coming from the 'stone troop' in the darkness.
"King Mu, this stone seal can activate the 'stone troop'. However, it requires a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to activate it, which I might not be able to achieve by myself. So I hope that you can lend me a hand." Zhantai Liuli smiled.
Mu Chen took a deep glance at Zhantai Liuli. That lady was truly cautious. She was clearly worried that she wouldn't be able to compete with him after exhausting a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, which was the reason why she wanted the two of them to work together.
However, Mu Chen did not have any objections to this. Right now, dealing with the 'Sky Formation Emperor' was the most important matter. Thus, he nodded his head and stretched his hand out.
The stone seal hovered between their palms. In the next instant, boundless Spiritual Energy surged from their palms and swiftly poured into the ancient stone seal.
Buzz!
Buzz! As the two of them poured their Spiritual Energy in, the stone seal started to buzz and tremble. The dimmed Battle Runes on it seemed to have gradually turned bright.
Moreover, when the stone seal brightened, the eyes of the stone statue-like soldiers in the dark region, which had been tightly shut for tens of thousands of years, slowly opened at this moment!
Seated on the stone base, the face of the 'Sky Formation Emperor' drastically changed!
