My gorgeous wife Chapter 1985 - 1953: The Third Formation! King and Outlaw Blood Massacre!

The formidable might of the Soul Suppression Forbidden Array was undeniable. It was no wonder this restrictive law was recognized as a ninth-level powerful restriction.

Even with the Regretless Mountain Range already suppressing everyone's cultivation, the Soul Suppression Forbidden Array enforced an additional layer of suppression. This rigorous constraint finally brought a semblance of calm to the gathered cultivators.

Their cultivation levels had been drastically reduced to the Fifth Rank! While the distinction between the Fifth and Sixth Ranks might seem minor to some, without their full power, they felt as insignificant as mere chickens and dogs.

The crux of the issue, however, was that Li Chen's allies were unaffected by this suppression. The ability to wield combat power far exceeding their own realms, coupled with the cultivation disparity, became the breaking point, instilling a palpable sense of crisis.

"Even though the martial artists accompanying that young man, Red Dust, are all Sixth Rank, we possess superior numbers. Even at Fifth Rank, it doesn't mean we can't unleash combat power beyond the Domain Realm. On the whole, we still hold the advantage," declared an Immortal Domain powerhouse, his expression grim.

"Together, we have the advantage," a Divine Realm powerhouse stated, casting a cold glance at the Immortal Domain powerhouse. "If we continue to fight amongst ourselves as before, I suspect that after we've exhausted ourselves, the ones who will truly benefit will be those observing us."

The Immortal Domain powerhouse remained silent for a moment, then surveyed the onlookers.

"Benefit? Who exactly stands to gain?" a Demon Realm powerhouse scoffed.

"What do you mean by that?"

The Demon Realm powerhouse fixed his icy gaze on the two individuals beside him. "That brat is far more cunning than we initially thought. Have you not realized that not only are we suppressed, but many of the onlookers have also had their cultivation levels diminished?"

"Are there not still some who remain unsuppressed?" the Divine Realm powerhouse inquired, his brow furrowed.

"That's precisely why I call him crafty," the Demon Realm powerhouse sneered. "When one sees a Supreme Treasure within reach, and everyone else around is suppressed while they are not, what do you believe they will do?"

"You're suggesting..." The Immortal Domain powerhouse suddenly grasped the implication, a look of shock dawning on his face.

"Boom!!"

As if on cue, a thunderous explosion echoed. Indeed, the powerhouses whose cultivation had not been suppressed launched their assault, targeting those nearby whose cultivation had just been reduced to the Fifth Rank.

Simultaneously, some even charged towards the Three Realms Allied Forces, and astonishingly, towards Li Chen's own group.

These unsuppressed individuals became the spark that ignited the entire formation space, plunging everything into a colossal battle.

"Hold them back, but don't engage in a fight to the death," Li Chen subtly transmitted his voice to those around him.

Upon hearing this, his companions nodded and proceeded to engage the charging group, their objective being to entangle them.

True to Li Chen's prediction, as soon as the skirmishes began, he discerned that the attackers had no intention of fighting with their full might; their goal was merely to delay.

Meanwhile, a greater number of individuals were converging on the Three Realms Allied Forces. It was clear that these attackers had formed an unspoken alliance at some point. The individuals confronting Li Chen's group were merely a diversion. Their true objective was the Bagua Array Diagram!

Witnessing the ensuing chaos, a subtle smile graced Li Chen's lips. He discreetly moved behind his comrades and gently snapped his fingers.

"Third layer."

The Bagua Array Diagram, responding to Li Chen's command, let out a wild laugh.

"Master Eight already stated that you are merely a swarm of ants. Do a group of ants dare to harbor designs against Master Eight?"

"Buzz——"

Another wave of turbulent power surged forth, signifying the activation of the formation's third layer. While not a ninth-level grand formation, it was undeniably an eighth-level illusionary formation!

Had this occurred earlier, even these powerhouse cultivators would have felt only a minor impact from the illusionary formation, despite their suppressed cultivation. However, following the earlier slaughter and the subsequent forced reduction of their cultivation by another rank, the potent, eroding force of the eighth-level illusionary formation immediately ensnared many cultivators.

"Aww!!"

"Roar!!"

Numerous cultivators let out anguished roars. Instead of attacking their immediate adversaries, they turned and frantically assaulted those standing beside them. Of course, their original enemies also became targets of their frenzied attacks.

These individuals, their eyes blazing red, appeared to have completely lost all semblance of consciousness.

"Old He! Wake up, it's me!"

"Woodpecker Fairy King! It's Qing Ye, what is wrong with you?!"

Initially, they believed they could rouse these individuals, but unexpectedly, these people appeared demonized, utterly unresponsive to their calls, only mindlessly assaulting their surroundings.

Due to their prior camaraderie, many were hesitant to strike.

However, while hesitation gripped some, those already corrupted showed no such restraint, unleashing absolute killing blows.

After enduring several injuries, a few individuals finally succumbed to rage, discarding all former affections and retaliating with fierce desperation.

Once drawn into the brutal conflict, their own eyes turned blood-red, swiftly succumbing to the formation's insidious power.

"The King Kou Blood Massacre Great Array!"

Upon recognizing this formidable formation, several martial artists aligned with Li Chen cried out in astonishment.

The King Kou Blood Massacre, signifying the survival of the fittest, entails a brutal purge during the ascension to kingship.

This is a potent level-eight illusionary formation. Once ensnared, a cultivator's mind and spirit become trapped within an boundless realm of slaughter.

Within this desolate space, only unending carnage exists.

Furthermore, in this arena of death, only one can emerge victorious; all others are destined to become mere corpses under the victor's feet – this is the essence of survival of the fittest and blood massacre!

In essence, once this illusionary formation is activated, only a solitary survivor remains.

But will this survivor truly attain the status of a king?

Numerous martial artists gazed at Li Chen, their eyes filled with stark terror.

His intention was to pit these individuals against each other until none were left, only to then reap the final spoils!

Contemplating this chilling strategy, a multitude of martial artists couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

They were profoundly grateful to be standing alongside Li Chen.

Otherwise, they might very well have already become just another casualty among the countless bodies piling up before them.

It is a perilous undertaking to have such an individual as an adversary.

The might of this supreme treasure was indeed beyond ordinary comprehension. Among the Nine Great Treasures, the Bagua Array Diagram was not originally designed for direct combat.

Yet, upon unleashing its power, its destructive force remained terrifyingly immense.

Perhaps this is the very reason why so many coveted these supreme treasures.

"Such treasures are truly the root of calamity," lamented the Salt-Heaven Lord, standing beside Li Chen.

Li Chen cast a glance at the speaker, a flicker of amusement in his eyes, and inquired with a smile, "If I were to bestow it upon you, would you accept it?"

"Without question!" the Salt-Heaven Lord responded instantly.

"Hmph!" Christina, positioned beside Li Chen, shot a disdainful look at the lord.

The Salt-Heaven Lord merely grinned, unashamed, for he had spoken nothing but the unvarnished truth.
