Silence!

Absolute silence!

Other than the immense uproar created by the giant Earth Devil, there was no other sound to be heard amongst the rocky walls. Finally, in a flash of light, the Earth Devil crawled out of the region illuminated by golden light and into the dark area in which Wang Chong stood.

Roooar!

With a thunderous roar, the Earth Devil suddenly stood up straight on the rock wall. As it straightened its body of nearly one hundred meters, it pulled back its two thick right arms to build up strength. Its eyes locked onto the ant-like Wang Chong in the darkness, and then it mightily punched.

Boom!

Its fists moved as quickly as lightning bolts and with astonishing power. The strength within these fists far surpassed that of a peak Great General, and even Wang Chong would find it hard to block them.

Buzz!

An explosive shockwave instantly swept through the surrounding several hundred feet. The massive fists blotted out all light as they hurtled toward Wang Chong, but he appeared unafraid.

Four hundred feet, three hundred feet, two hundred feet! The massive fists were like a mass of dark clouds getting closer and closer. At this moment, Wang Chong's eyes narrowed and he roared, ”Now! Strike!”

His cry resounded through the abyss.

In response to this signal, furious bellows came from the surroundings and the hundreds of hidden martial artists attacked in unison.

For a moment, time seemed to stop…

Rumble!

The world moved in slow-motion as a massive formation fifty-some meters in diameter appeared on the Earth Devil's body and explosively expanded.

The Cavern Formation!

This was a large-scale formation that Wang Chong had learned from the Formation Elder. It required ten-some people to work together to pour a variety of conflicting energies into the formation so that it would explode.

The Formation Elder was a solitary soul, so he had never had a chance to use it. But here, Wang Chong had more than enough martial artists at his command.

Not only that, while laying down the formation, Wang Chong had also skimmed through the Formation Divine Treatise, which contained an older version of the Cavern Formation, a stronger version. Wang Chong had used this knowledge to adjust the formation and make its explosive power even stronger.

Kaboom! Everyone watched in anticipation as the rock wall for fifty meters around the Earth Devil's feet collapsed, but this was only the beginning.

Boom! Boom! Boom! One layer of rock after another crumbled and exploded, and the Earth Devil was made bereft of any place to stand for several hundred feet around him. Tens of thousands of tons of stone joined the Earth Devil in tumbling down the steep walls.

Before arriving at this region, they had decided to work together to loosen the rock walls. Now that peerless experts like the Black Yin Ancestor, the Lone Silence Ancestor, and Song Yuanyi were working together with hundreds of martial artists, the explosion they created was so powerful that even Subtle realm experts would be heavily injured.

Wang Chong was within range of the explosion and was caught in the blast, but he had naturally made his preparations.

Thwish!

As the region exploded, Wang Chong's right hand, covered in a silk glove, was already gripping a thin silver-white thread. When the Cavern Formation exploded, Wang Chong shot forward along the spider thread to the wall on the other side.

All that was left behind him was the furious Earth Devil whose only instinct was to kill. But for the first time, fear could be heard within its roars. While it might have lost its intelligence, it still had the same fear of death.

Awooo! Sensing the shockwave behind him, Wang Chong didn't even need to turn his head to know that the Earth Devil's massive body was plummeting into the darkness.

”Success!”

Wang Chong was delighted. Everything had gone according to plan. The teamwork of all the martial artists had caused even the powerful Earth Devil to fall.

”Good!”

The hidden martial artists in the surroundings cheered. Many of their fellows had died to the Earth Devil, but this enormous threat had finally been vanquished.

”Not good! Look!”
