Inside the void, the chains with dark flames were like deadly flowers that had bloomed. They extended from darkness and continuously drew Ling Yuling to the vague portal.

 

After the initial shock, she calmed herself down and stopped struggling. She let the dark chains restrict her limbs as the dark flames engulfed her.

 

A murderous intent swirled around the portal as wisps of destructive auras intertwined with one another. It was as though Heaven were ready to destroy everything to recreate the world.

 

In ancient history, every time the Ancient Fourth Killing Array made an appearance, it would cause endless carnage.

 

It could kill both Immortals and Deities. Anyone would be caught shaken at the mention of it.

 

Ling Yuling had already felt that the white-robed man’s aura was familiar. He was likely to be someone she knew.

 

She had been trying to form some speculation, but she still couldn’t figure out his identity.

 

Nevertheless, following the Ancient Fourth Killing Array’s appearance, she was finally certain that the white-robed man was related to a particular person she was familiar with.

 

“I’m truly surprised…” Ling Yuling sighed as she could hardly conceal her surprise. Her sigh was soon drowned in the dark flames. She also disappeared into the vague portal.

 

The white-robed man watched everything from a distance. His expression did not change.

 

“Even the Fourth Killing Array cannot kill her in a short time. She would be exiled to the Boundless Spacetime Void at most. Since her coordinate would be concealed, it would be difficult for her to return.”

 

He shook his head and ignored everything else. As the ripples of Spacetime spread, he left this area.

 

Then, on the battlefield between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, the white-robed man made an appearance. The clamorous battlefield instantly fell into silence.

 

Everyone looked at his direction. Be it Dao Realm experts or ordinary beings, there was no exception.

 

The high-ranking officials of the Heavenslayers Alliance were initially high-spirited and murderous, but they suddenly felt something was off.

 

Many of their expressions changed as they frowned, for they could no longer detect Ling Yuling’s aura.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“Why did the Deputy Alliance Leader’s aura disappear?”

 

“Could it be…”

 

People like Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun were shocked. They were fully aware of how strong Ling Yuling was. Apart from Gu Changge, no one in the Heavenslayers Alliance could defeat her. Even those beings from the Forbidden Areas were no exception.

 

Therefore, it was unimaginable that any being in the Boundless Expanse could pose a threat to her life.

 

“Something’s off. The Great Sage’s aura is gone. Given her strength, was she not a match for that mysterious white-robed man?”

 

Mu Fuguang furrowed her brows. She was initially nonchalant, but her gaze turned solemn.

 

The others around her were no exception. They stared fixedly at the white-robed man, trying to figure out how he made Ling Yuling disappear.

 

“Senior Yuling is strong. Even if she is not a match for the other party, she couldn’t be killed so easily. I suspect that she has fallen into a trap and is now confined to the void outside the Boundless Expanse,” Chu Xiao said. A murderous intent spurted from his eyes like a sword light.

 

Zhuo Fengxie and the others felt their hearts sinking when they heard that. Now, it seemed that Ling Yuling might have fallen into danger.

 

During the most critical time when the two armies clashed, Ling Yuling, who was their leader, suddenly disappeared after exchanging moves with the white-robed man.

 

There was no doubt it was a heavy blow to their morale.

 

Besides the high-ranking officials and powerful experts of the Heavenslayers Alliance, many also noticed the anomaly.

 

After exchanging moves with the white-robed man, Ling Yuling disappeared and never returned. What did that mean?

 

Among the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance, many were shocked and anxious. They wondered if Ling Yuling had fallen into danger. Perhaps she was already killed by the white-robed man.

 

In other universe Spacetimes, Dao Realm experts who were fighting powerful cultivators from the Righteous Alliance felt apprehensive as well.

 

“That Senior is indeed powerful. Once he makes a move, there won’t be any surprises. So what if she’s the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Heavenslayers Alliance as well as a Great Sage? She was still defeated by that Senior.”

 

Many powerful experts from the Righteous Alliance noticed that Ling Yuling’s aura had disappeared. She did not return with the white-robed man.

 

The Righteous Alliance had been on the losing side during the war against the Heavenslayers Alliance. This made them vexed and frustrated.

 

In their opinion, the disappearance of Ling Yuling was the turning point for them to turn things around.

 

“It’s truly surprising. Who on earth is that mysterious white-robed man? Even a Great Sage was defeated by him and fell into danger.”

 

“Will there be a different outcome for the war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance?”

 

Ancient beings who had been watching the war from different places in the Boundless Expanse were shocked as well.

 

Although they could not peek at the battle between Ling Yuling and the white-robed man, they had some speculation as to what had happened.

 

If Ling Yuling were killed, the commotion of her death would have been much louder. Therefore, it was likely that the white-robed man had schemed to trap her in a certain Spacetime Void outside the Boundless Expanse.

 

It was difficult to deal with a move like this. That was because the Spacetime Void outside the Boundless Expanse was lawless and unrestricted. Once the coordinate was lost, it meant that it would be difficult for the cultivator to return using normal means.

 

Even if others wanted to bring her back, they would have to find out which Spacetime Void it was first.

 

However, the Boundless Expanse was vast and there were billions of Spacetimes and universes. Nameless and orderless Spacetime Voids were innumerable. It was no different from trying to find a needle in a haystack.

 

“The Deputy Alliance Leader of the Heavenslayers Alliance has been defeated by the Senior. All of you, come with me. The Heavenslayers Alliance no longer poses a threat.”

 

“Kill them!”

 

The shouting was heard reverberating across the various universes. Those of the Righteous Alliance were in high-spirits and murderous. They were no longer cautious. Instead, they were now fearless.

 

The morale of the powerful cultivators of the Righteous Alliance was boosted as well. They were the first to charge forward. A war more violent than the last broke out.

 

“Senior Yuling has only fallen into a trap. She’ll break out of it soon enough. We don’t have to worry about her. How dare despicable people like them be so arrogant? Even without Senior Yuling here, we still can defeat them!” Chu Xiao yelled with an icy gaze. The soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance stopped being dejected and became murderous again.

 

He was the first to bolt forward while wearing armour. His red sabre slashed across the universe and Spacetime, its sabre light looking like a galaxy.

 

The others of the Heavenslayers Alliance also made a move without hesitation. At that moment, millions of sword lights clashed in the universe. Blood splattered everywhere and corpses floated around.

 

“Are you still unwilling to make a move, Heavenslayers Alliance Leader? Are you planning to let so many powerful cultivators die here? I’ll give you a little push and see whether you’ll continue to stay put. I don’t believe you’re not paying attention to this war.”

 

The white-robed man hovered in the universe and calmly watched the war.

 

After he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from his loose sleeve. It was an Array Diagram, which exuded an ancient aura. It expanded like a scroll as though trying to seal the universe.

 

The Array Diagram shot into the sky and expanded. Then, it slowly rotated and concealed everything.

 

The entire area was covered in a Mist of Chaos. It was as though everything had been concealed. A murderous intent soon flooded this space.

 

Everyone on the battlefield shuddered in fear. They could not believe their eyes.

 

“Is that the legendary Killing Array Diagram?”

 

The Dao Realm experts at war felt their backs turning cold. They felt like they were covered in murderous intent. When they looked in the direction of that white-robed man, they were flabbergasted.

 

The white-robed man did not stop after summoning the Array Diagram. He snapped his fingers and a dazzling sword light appeared from the void. Illusory items formed behind him. Those were vague divine swords. A total of four of them had been jabbed into the cliff which radiated light.

 

“Go!” The white-robed man shouted. His voice and gaze were indifferent.

 

The four divine swords broke free from the cliff. When they made an appearance, countless sword cries seemed to fill the entire universe.

 

As the four swords traversed across Spacetime, the sword auras made everyone feel like their bodies were about to explode. It was as though their Souls would be annihilated by the sword auras.

 

At that moment, countless divine swords flew between Heaven and Earth. They seemed to have emerged from Spacetime, but it also looked like they had appeared from the void.

 

The sword auras could destroy the universe and annihilate all immortals and Deities.

 

With the help of the Killing Array Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, the power of the Fourth Killing Array was significantly enhanced. When he dealt with Ling Yuling earlier, he only used a bit of its power.

 

“Who on earth is he? He even possesses that Array Diagram.”

 

Among the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance, experts such as Mu Fuguang were surprised.

 

They had been alive for a long time, so they were experienced and knowledgeable. They instantly recognised the move that the white-robed man had used.

 

This was the legendary Ancient Fourth Killing Array that could destroy Immortals and Deities.

 

“Also, it’s a complete Fourth Killing Array aided by the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Killing Array Diagram…”

 

“It’s difficult to fight against him. Only the Alliance Leader can deal with him.” Tong Xian and the others scowled, unwilling to be stuck in a losing battle. Within the coverage of the Fourth Killing Array, they would be suppressed as well.

 

It was said that the history of the Ancient Fourth Killing Array could be traced back to the Pre-Heaven Era, when the Boundless Expanse had not even been born yet. The Killing Array appeared several times in the periods following the birth of the Boundless Expanse.

 

Every time it appeared, it would cause endless carnage. Countless cultivators had been killed by the Fourth Killing Array.

 

The last time it appeared, it was during the Black Disaster Era. It was controlled by one of the Great Sages.

 

They believed that once the Killing Array took shape, even Ancestral Dao Realm experts would be immediately killed, let alone these ordinary soldiers.

 

“Let’s retreat. That white-robed guy has a strange background. Even if we make a move, we might not be able to break the Array. We might even fall into danger. Also, many beings of the Righteous Alliance are still hiding in the dark and watching us, ready to make a move at any moment.”

 

“Only the Alliance Leader can turn things around. However, we have no idea whether he’s even paying attention to this war.” Tong Xian sighed helplessly.

 

Being like them had never felt this vexed. Nevertheless, they had repeatedly suffered setbacks since they left their Forbidden Areas.

 

There were many hidden powerful experts in the Boundless Expanse.

 

Upon hearing the words of Tong Xian and the others, people like Zhuo Fengxie, Hun Yuanjun, and Chu Xiao were astounded. They turned solemn as well.

 

After Ling Yuling went missing, they could only rely on these experts. However, since these people had said so, it showed the horror of the Killing Array.

 

Now, they could only retreat and come up with a plan later.

 

“Retreat!”

 

Although Chu Xiao was unwilling to leave just like this, he could only blow the horn and let the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance retreat. Their ancient battleships turned around and left.

 

Meanwhile, he crushed an Ancient Rune while feeling heartbroken. It was a simple Ancient Rune with the word ‘战’ casually written in the centre.

 

The moment the Ancient Rune was crushed, a horrifying light shot into the sky.

 

The word arms seemed to have come back to life. It opened up a vault of Artifacts in the void. A boundless aura permeated the place. The vault radiated a Chaotic Light as many Divine Artifacts such as a green lamp, an ancient tower, a divine mirror, an axe, a bell, an Eight Trigrams Mirror, and so on.

 

The next moment, these mighty Artifacts shot forward and crashed into the boundless sword light. Immense energy exploded in the universe.

 

This was a military token with a mysterious power given to him by Gu Changge. It could save his life at the most critical moment.

 

Now, he had no choice but to use the military token so that the soldiers could safely retreat while he stayed at the back.

 

“Senior, we can’t let them retreat like this…”

 

Although the vault of Artifacts were dimming and cracking, it successfully fended off the descending Fourth Killing Array. The powerful experts of the Righteous Alliance were shocked. Some of them donned dark expressions.

 

Someone came up to the white-robed man and asked him to make a move.

 

“I can’t make them stay…”

 

Much to their surprise, the white-robed man, who had been indifferent the entire time, frowned and shook his head.

 

“The Heavenslayers Alliance Leader is indeed mighty. Did he intentionally leave behind this move?” He sighed while looking at the vault of Artifacts.

 

The rest from the Righteous Alliance were taken back, wondering what he meant by that.

 

They wondered if the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader really made a move? To think even this Senior with a mysterious background and inscrutable power dared not counterattack.
