The Way of Formations was all-encompassing, its applications boundless. It could be used to attack, defend, trap, and seal, making it mystical beyond comparison. Su Han had previously set up the Breath Concealment Formation and the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, both of which had provided him with tremendous help. However, despite inheriting the memories of the man in white, he lacked the decades of immersive experience that Gong Ming possessed.

When Gong Ming took action, he waved his hand, and Formation Patterns emerged one after another to annihilate his enemies within the Great Formation. The entire process was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, without the slightest pause or obstruction—truly a feast for the eyes.

An Array Master! Su Han's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had witnessed an Array Master in battle. Unlike his own brutal, flesh-and-bone fighting style, Gong Ming's was more graceful, like that of a celestial being, akin to an artistic dance. At this moment, it wasn't just Su Han who was stunned; the Musk Demon Venerable and the Sea Mother Venerable were also in shock. The Demon Race excelled in physical strength, so their fighting style leaned more toward head-on confrontations. But Gong Ming fought using Formations, rendering their attacks futile and their defenses useless. Escape was impossible, and confronting him was out of the question. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable; they would have much rather engaged in a life-or-death brawl.

"Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Formation!"

With the Myriad Laws Holy Banner in hand, Gong Ming released streams of Formation Patterns, which quickly combined to form a special Great Formation. This Great Formation possessed no temporal power, but it was imbued with an incredibly potent Spatial Force. The space within the Formation was immediately sealed, and everything inside was imprisoned and unable to move.

At this moment, the Musk Demon Venerable and the Sea Mother Venerable were enveloped by the Great Formation, like flies frozen in amber. They were unable to struggle, much less escape. Their Domains were also sealed within the Formation, leaving them cut off and unable to control them.

Unwilling to meet her end without a struggle, the Sea Mother Venerable promptly executed an Intermediate-Grade Forbidden Technique: Psychic Storm. Her Divine Sense surged from her sea of consciousness, coalescing into a severe psychic storm. The Sea Mother Venerable's Physical Body was not strong; her greatest assets were sneak attacks and poison. Her Divine Sense was also laced with a Deadly Poison capable of eroding another's sea of consciousness, causing their Divine Sense to decay and disintegrate.

BOOM!

The intangible psychic storm swept out, unaffected by the Spatial Imprisonment, and headed straight for Gong Ming. She didn't expect this strike to defeat him, only hoped it would rattle his Divine Sense long enough for her to break free from the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Formation and escape.

Unfortunately, she had still underestimated Gong Ming. As an Array Master, his greatest strength lay not in his Physical Body or Martial Techniques, but in his Divine Sense. After all, studying Formations, inscribing Formation Patterns, and activating Great Formations all required a powerful Divine Sense. Without it, one could never become an Array Master. The psychic storm from the Sea Mother Venerable's Forbidden Technique, though powerful, was firmly blocked by Gong Ming. Within his sea of consciousness was another special Formation designed to protect it from harm.

"Spatial Strangulation!"

Gong Ming's gaze was piercing. With a mere thought, the Formation Patterns surrounding the Sea Mother Venerable instantly changed. The Spatial Force transformed into countless sharp blades that converged on her. These were Spatial Blades, condensed from the combination of Formation Patterns and Spatial Force, and they were sharp enough to slice through metal and stone.

The Sea Mother Venerable's body was immobilized, and her Divine Sense could not shake Gong Ming. She could only watch helplessly as countless Spatial Blades whistled toward her and cut into her flesh. In an instant, her tentacles were severed, and her massive, canopy-like body was shredded into bloody tatters. Not even her sea of consciousness was spared.

The Sea Mother Venerable was dead! A Supreme Realm powerhouse had fallen so effortlessly. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. The path of Martial Arts is difficult, as hard as reaching the heavens. Only by becoming stronger can one grasp their fate in their own hands.

At this moment, Su Han's desire to control his own destiny grew even more urgent!

The Shark Demon Venerable and the Sea Mother Venerable were both dead. Of the three great Demon Venerables, only the Musk Demon Venerable remained. His tremendous size took up one-third of the entire Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Formation, but he was frozen stiff, his heart filled with terror. He was a Supreme Realm expert of the Jing Tribe, possessing formidable strength and an honored status, yet now he faced death. It was a feeling he was experiencing for the first time, and his heart flooded with regret. Had he known this Su Han was so difficult to deal with, he never would have accepted the assignment. Not only had Su Han survived, but he himself was now about to die.

Suddenly, the Musk Demon Venerable's expression changed as he looked toward the depths of the sea. He felt a familiar aura, so overpowering that it was like a towering mountain, forcing him to look up in awe. Hmm? It's the Clan Leader's aura! The Clan Leader has actually come in person! It must have been the Black Whale's death that spurred the Clan Leader into action, prompting him to come himself. The Clan Leader is here! I'm saved! Thank goodness! The Musk Demon Venerable was thrilled, his will to survive surging.

At that moment, both Su Han and Gong Ming also sensed the powerful aura emanating from the deep sea.

"Not good! It's the Jing Tribe's Clan Leader!" Having once clashed with a strand of the Jing Tribe's Clan Leader's Divine Sense, Su Han recognized it immediately and hastily warned Gong Ming.

The Kun Jing Great Emperor! Hearing Su Han's warning, Gong Ming's scalp tingled as he instantly knew the newcomer's identity. The Kun Jing Great Emperor possessed sixty percent of the Kunpeng Bloodline—twice that of the Black Whale. His innate talent was exceptionally high, and his strength was mighty, ranking him among the very top Great Emperors in the East Sea. This Great Emperor actually took action himself?

Gong Ming gasped, his hands and feet turning cold. He knew that compared to the Kun Jing Great Emperor, he was like an ant before a Kunpeng. A single breath from the Emperor could kill him; they weren't on the same level at all.

"Nine Formations Annihilate the Demon!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Gong Ming pushed the Myriad Laws Holy Banner to its absolute limit. Countless Formation Patterns flew out, swiftly interweaving to create nine Great Formations. These nine connected into a single, overwhelming assault directed at the Musk Demon Venerable. They included ferocious offensive Formations, powerful suppression Formations, and terrifying Annihilation Formations—truly, nine great Killing Formations.

"No!" The Musk Demon Venerable felt the terrifying power of these nine Killing Formations, and a look of utter despair crossed his face as he struggled frantically.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between him and Gong Ming was simply too vast. He had no way to resist and was soon engulfed by the nine Killing Formations. In the blink of an eye, the Musk Demon Venerable's massive body was torn asunder. Demon Blood erupted violently, all signs of life vanished, and his Divine Sense was extinguished. He was dead beyond any doubt.

With that, all three of the great Demon Venerables who had pursued Su Han were wiped out, not a single one left.

But neither Gong Ming nor Su Han felt the slightest bit of joy. They didn't even have time to collect the corpses, because the Kun Jing Great Emperor had arrived. Even across an endless distance, the terrifying aura of the Great Emperor made both of them feel an unprecedented sense of mortal danger.

"Spatial Transmission Formation, quick, go!" Gong Ming activated the Myriad Laws Holy Banner once again. Tens of thousands of Formation Patterns lit up, constructing a vast Spatial Transmission Formation. Grabbing Su Han, Gong Ming leaped into its center. With a ripple in space, the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

However, whether they could escape the pursuit of the Kun Jing Great Emperor remained an unknown.
