Buzz!
Beneath the darkness, there were over ten thousand stone troops. Along with the light blossoming from the stone seals on the palms of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli, their eyes, which seemed to have been shut for tens of thousands of years, slowly opened.

Boom!
In that instant when they opened their eyes, the scarlet heavens and earth trembled and an indescribable terrifying Battle Will swept out like a tidal wave, before it charged into the heavens and earth.
That Battle Will was as sharp as a spear, as if it could pierce through the heavens and earth. The sharpness of that Battle Will had far exceeded any troop that they had encountered before. According to Mu Chen's estimations, at the peak of this troop, there probably wasn't any expert beneath the Earth Sovereign Realm that could confront them.
If this troop worked together with the Battle Formation of the Sky Formation Emperor, they might even be able to confront a powerhouse like the Earth Sovereign Realm.
Not even a million-strong Jiu You troop could be compared to a mere ten-thousand-stone troop. Thus, one could see how great the gap between the two parties was.
When the ten-thousand-stone troop was activated by Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli, the face of the 'Sky Formation Emperor' instantly distorted as a ferocious light surged in his hollow eyes. He looked at Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli, as if he wanted to tear them apart.
"You two brats!"
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' roared as he abruptly stood up from the stone base. Instantly, a torrential black light swept out from his body and he had turned into a black streak of light as he burst out.
Rustle!
But just when he charged out a hundred feet from the stone base …
Rustling sounds of metal chains rang out from beneath him and his charging figure had abruptly come to a halt. The powerful momentum had even caused him to stagger.
Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli looked over.
There were four grey chains wrapped around the four limbs of the Sky Formation Emperor. The chains were greyish-black in colour and covered in Battle Runes. Those Battle Runes were initially dim, but at this moment, along with the awakening of the Stone Troop, they had all been lit up.
The Battle Runes on the chains gradually grew brighter.
As the runes on the chains grew brighter and brighter, the chains had also slowly pulled the Sky Formation Emperor back to the stone base.
At the same time, the dust on the stone base had also fallen, revealing the dense and complicated runes on the stone base.
Those battle patterns.
At the same time, it began to brighten up bit by bit.
"You damned guy, you've been dead for tens of thousands of years, and you still want to trap me?!"
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' roared. His face was extremely distorted at this moment, before he roared towards the sky. Instantly, boundless black aura swept out from his body. The black aura was extremely viscous, like ink.
However, wherever the black aura passed, even space was corroded and shattered.
Within the sticky black gas.
It was filled with dense and sinister aura.
Under the all-out counterattack of the 'Sky Formation Emperor', the pulling force of the chains was forcefully resisted. Furthermore, the viscous black aura spread towards the chains, corroding the runes on the chains.
As the runes on the chains were corroded, the 'Sky Formation Emperor' struggled to walk out of the darkness. His hollow and sinister gaze was fixed on Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli. The ferocious light in his eyes clearly showed that he intended to tear the two of them into pieces.
When Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli saw how tenacious that fellow was, their faces couldn't help changing.
"King Mu, don't hold back anymore. Use all your Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, the moment the 'Sky Formation Emperor' breaks out of the suppression of the Battle Formation, the Battle Formation will no longer be effective!" Zhantai Liuli anxiously said.
Mu Chen nodded his head with a grave expression. Although he didn't trust Zhantai Liuli, he knew that if the 'Sky Formation Emperor' really broke out of the suppression, then neither he nor Zhantai Liuli would be able to escape today.
Mu Chen's palm abruptly spun before slapping it out. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy in his body gushed out like a tidal wave and poured into the stone seal without holding back.
On the other side, Zhantai Liuli also did not dare to hold back as she poured her Spiritual Energy into the stone seal.
Buzz!
Buzz! As the two of them circulated their Spiritual Energy, the stone seal trembled even more rapidly and the lustre that blossomed from it grew even more dazzling.
Roar!
When the stone seal changed, the stone troop seemed to have been encouraged as they unleashed thunderous roars. Their roars were uniform and under their roars, the heavens and earth violently trembled.
Boom!
Boom!
Boundless Battle Will gushed out from their bodies in every direction, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The beams of light that shot out from their bodies had also swiftly expanded, turning into myriad grey beams of light. It was a rather spectacular scene.
Those beams of light streaked across the horizon and entered the darkness in the sky, pouring into the stone base. Instantly, the four Battle Rune Chains that bound the Sky Formation Emperor had also strengthened at this moment.
Rustle!
The chains trembled as they slowly pulled the 'Sky Formation Emperor' towards the stone base.
"Bastard!"
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' roared as he looked at Mu Chen and Mu Chen with his blood-red eyes and roared, "Today, I will definitely turn the two of you into ashes!"
Boom!
Along with the Sky Formation Emperor's roar, a black liquid flowed down from his eyes. That liquid seemed to possess a life of its own as it slowly wiggled on his face. In the end, it had turned into an extremely bizarre black rune.
That rune was bizarre and sinister, looking like a crying ghost. Coupled with the distorted face of the 'Sky Formation Emperor', it instantly made him look extremely terrifying.
Rustle!
Along with the appearance of that sinister rune, the power of the 'Sky Formation Emperor' had also surged as he forcefully lifted his feet and stepped out of the darkness.
When Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli saw this scene, they gritted their teeth and circulated their Spiritual Energy once again.
Boom!
Boom!
A shocking fluctuation.
As it constantly spread out in space, Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli did not dare to relax as they exerted their full strength.
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' clearly did not want to give up on this opportunity to break free. He had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. If it wasn't for the power of the 'Sky Formation Emperor's' physique, he would have long disappeared. But even so, if he continued to be suppressed, he would still be reduced to ashes.
Thus, this was his last chance to break free, and he absolutely could not give it up.
Thus …
The 'Sky Formation Emperor' had also frantically circulated all his power to resist the boundless Battle Will gushing out from the stone troop as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chen and Mu Chen.
In the end, he ferociously roared, "Two ants.
I don't believe that the two of you can last long with that bit of Spiritual Energy! "
He was smart, since he knew that the strength of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli was limited. Furthermore, even with the power of the stone seal, the amount of Spiritual Energy required to activate the stone troop was extremely terrifying. Thus, Mu Chen and Mu Chen would definitely not be able to last long.
Once the two of them couldn't hold on any longer, they would have long been petrified.
The stone troop that was using the petrification as a formation would also be weakened. At that time, it would be impossible for them to stop him.
Hearing his voice …
The hearts of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli sank, since they were well aware of their current state. Indeed, it was as the 'Sky Formation Emperor' had said, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"If the two of you want that fellow's inheritance, there's actually no need for us to fight to the death. As long as the two of you let me out, I can swear that I will hand over the inheritance. But this inheritance can only be obtained by one person. Which one of you wants it?" The 'Sky Formation Emperor' suddenly smiled and his sinister voice had actually turned a little gentler.
The eyes of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli flickered, before the former faintly smiled, "Why use such a clumsy method to sow discord? How can a demon like you be trustworthy? If I let you out, I'm afraid that the first thing you will do is to tear the two of us into pieces."
Zhantai Liuli also gently chuckled, "King Mu is right, I agree with that."
When the 'Sky Formation Emperor' saw that it was useless to drive a wedge between the two of them, and instead caused the two of them to ridicule him, his face instantly turned extremely hideous. He glanced at the two of them eerily and stopped speaking. Instead, he desperately controlled the viscous black qi to corrode the battle rune chains.
It was like a tug-of-war between the two parties, falling into a deadlock.
Looking at the deadlock, Zhantai Liuli gently clenched her teeth and said, "King Mu, I'm afraid that we can't continue like this. We have to force it back to the stone base before we can completely activate the battle formation to kill that evil spirit and awaken the remaining consciousness of the Sky Formation Emperor. Only then can we obtain the inheritance."
"You have a way?"
Mu Chen also tightly knitted his brows. He naturally understood that it would be extremely disadvantageous for them if this continued. But aside from that, they didn't seem to have any other way.
Zhantai Liuli fell into a brief silence, before she said, "I have a way to detonate the power of the stone seal in an extremely short period of time. If someone can launch an attack against it and divert its attention from dealing with the Battle Rune Chain, we will be able to work together and drag it back to the stone base."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen's brows knitted even deeper before he turned to look at Zhantai Liuli. That meant that someone had to confront the 'Sky Formation Emperor' head-on, and with their strength, it would undoubtedly be an extremely dangerous matter.
Who knows, they might even be killed by the 'Sky Formation Emperor'.
Could this be the scene that Zhantai Liuli wanted to see?
Under Mu Chen's flickering gaze, Zhantai Liuli raised her face and looked at Mu Chen. There wasn't the slightest trace of guilt in her eyes.
Zhantai Liuli calmly said, "The reason why I said this is because the situation forced me to do so. If King Mu feels that Liuli is trying to harm you, then forget about what I said."
Mu Chen looked at Zhantai Liuli's watery eyes for a long time, before he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, then looked at the darkness and faintly said, "I'll believe you this time."
Hearing Mu Chen's calm voice, Zhantai Liuli's figure trembled and she looked at Mu Chen with a complicated gaze. That's because she knew how dangerous the latter's actions were. As long as she did something, there was a high chance that Mu Chen would fall into a desperate situation.
However, he still chose to believe her.
Although she had relied on some schemes to obtain the trust of Mu Chen and many others, this time, it made complicated emotions surge in Zhantai Liuli's heart.
In the past, Mu Chen's trust came from deceiving her. But this time, Mu Chen still chose to trust her despite knowing the danger and her cunning character.
Looking at Mu Chen's handsome and youthful face, Zhantai Liuli bit her rosy lips and nodded her head in the end.
"Then, please be careful, King Mu."
