Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, Trapped in the Cave



John furrowed his brows. The powerful Ice Talker seemed wary of this place, suggesting it was far from ordinary.

He didn't dare to be reckless and said, "I have one more person to save."

He glanced at Cand-Dragon.

"Follow me." Cand-Dragon understood he was referring to Tony. With a roar, he unleashed his power, pushing the surrounding strong beings back as he soared toward the distant mountains.

John followed closely behind.

Ice Talker grew anxious and shouted, "Kid, it's dangerous!"

"I can handle it; you should go," John replied. He didn't want to owe her a favor, and he had a nagging feeling that she had ulterior motives.

"Bastard! You really are a handful!" Ice Talker gritted her teeth in frustration. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to chase after them.

With a wave of her hand, a flurry of snowflakes fell, freezing the strong beings below.

Her methods only temporarily trapped them; they weren't enough to kill these peak upper- tier gods.

"Lord," Terran said urgently, "you can't go in there; there's a formation present."

The Emperor of the Underworld nodded in agreement, "I can't break this formation either."

Ice Talker frowned as she watched John and Cand-Dragon rush into the mine. She said, "This human must not come to harm, especially not at the hands of the Shadow Clan."

After saying this, she hurried after them.

Terran and the Emperor of the Underworld exchanged glances, sighing helplessly before following closely behind.

The mountains rolled in waves, and the Undying Flames soared, their terrifying heat capable of melting anything.

But that wasn't the worst of it; just like John's Hellfire, the Undying Flames could also scorch the very soul.

Moreover, the mountains here were all made of Spirit Stone, continuously supplying abundant spiritual power. Coupled with the characteristics of the Undying Flame, it was almost an eternal presence that would never extinguish.

John's power had significantly increased; he was now an Overseer. Even so, resisting these flames was still somewhat taxing.

He and Cand-Dragon had to slow their pace, distracted by the need to fend off the burning heat.

Whoosh...

At that moment, a chill swept through the air, and snowflakes danced around them-Ice Talker had arrived.

She glared at John and said angrily, "Kid, if you get me killed, I'll haunt you as a ghost!" "That's an easy thing to misinterpret," John replied, still confused about her intentions. Ice Talker urged him, "Stop with the nonsense. Where's the person you need to save?" "This way!" Cand-Dragon called out, flying toward a specific mountain.

There, the Undying Flame seemed slightly weaker, and at the base of the mountain, there was an entrance to a cave, which appeared to be man-made.

Tony was supposed to be here, transporting the mined stones.

Behind them, numerous peak upper-tier gods were in hot pursuit, so the group quickened their pace and swiftly entered the cave.

The cave wasn't very spacious, forcing him and Cand-Dragon to revert to their human forms.

"What pure spiritual power!" John marveled. Inside the cave, the abundance of spiritual power caused several of his cultivation techniques to activate on their own, absorbing the energy around them.

He understood why these peak upper-tier gods were so loyal; even he felt tempted by the rich spiritual energy.

They had to find a way to get this Spirit Stone mountain range into the World-in-Hand!

Creak...

At that moment, a series of sounds echoed as a giant tortoise pulled a long mining cart, struggling to move forward.

It was Tony.

Cand-Dragon fumed, "You old turtle, didn't I tell you not to work so hard?"

"Lord! Oh, Godslayer, you've been caught too?" Tony finally noticed the others, his face lighting up with surprise.

He then transformed into his human form, holding several stones in his hands, stuffing them into his mouth to devour.

Tony glanced at Cand-Dragon and complained, "Lord, I'm not like you guys. These bastards set a quota for me. If I don't meet it, I won't get any Spirit Stones as a reward."

John felt speechless; he realized he shouldn't have come to rescue these two.

"Alright, let's go quickly," Ice Talker urged, feeling uneasy.

The abundance of spiritual power here was not good for them.

John directly pulled all the Spirit Stones that Tony had brought into the World-in-Hand and activated his Split Void ability to escape.

Buzz!

The space trembled, barely creating a crack, but the next second it sealed shut.

"What's happening?" John sensed a dangerous presence approaching. The surrounding space was actually sealed off, preventing even his Split Void ability from being used.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed as the cave entrance collapsed, followed by the rise of several powerful energy waves around them.

"This is bad; the Great Formation of Surrounding Star has activated!" the Emperor of the Underworld exclaimed, his expression shifting as his body expanded in size.

"Hmm, Beast Clan bloodlines?" Cand-Dragon looked curiously at the transformed Emperor

of the Underworld.

"Earth Split." He ignored the question and shouted, stomping on the ground.

Boom!

A massive tremor shook the area, countless stones raining down from above, yet the strange sealing power remained unaffected.

The Emperor of the Underworld shrank in size, glancing at Ice Talker, shaking his head in resignation. "My lady, the formation is complete; I can't break it."

"Kid, you've really gotten us into a mess," Ice Talker glared at John and snapped, "We need to

break through!"

With that, she directly smashed through the collapsed entrance, stepping outside the cave.

At that moment, they found themselves surrounded. The people outside were all beyond the formation, led by a powerful member of the Shadow Clan.

"My lady, that's the Lord of Main City 101, The Absolute!" Terran recognized the Shadow Clan member, his expression shifting.

Ice Talker hovered in the air, locking her gaze on the man. "The Absolute, are you really going to oppose me?"

The Absolute smiled, quickly saying, "My lady, I wouldn't dare. You came here on your own. If you want to leave, I can let you go at any time."

Ice Talker remained wary; she didn't trust his apparent goodwill. Still, she spoke up, "I need

to take my people with me."

"Of course." The Absolute nodded without hesitation, holding a Spirit Stone and manipulating the formation to create a narrow gap.

"Let's go!" Ice Talker, fearing he might change his mind, signaled to John and led the others

toward the opening.

"Wait!" The Absolute closed the gap immediately and stated, "My lady, your people can

leave, but this Godslayer cannot."

Ice Talker replied coolly, "He is one of my people. Besides, this guy has already joined my Nature Clan; just ask him if you don't believe me."

John shot her an irritated glance.

"That's not acceptable either," The Absolute said, his tone menacing. "Everyone except the Godslayer can leave. Otherwise, he will perish with you!"

Ice Talker clenched her fists in frustration, glancing at the Emperor of the Underworld.

He shook his head slightly. He had already tried; even if he opened the gap voluntarily, he couldn't break the formation.

After a moment of thought, Ice Talker proposed, "The Absolute, you simply want the Heart of the Continent from him. How about this: we give you the Heart of the Continent, and you let

us leave."

"No deal. This human must die. Even if you, the Lord God of Nature, intervened, you wouldn't be able to save him," The Absolute replied coldly, showing no room for negotiation.

Ice Talker's anger flared. "Then I'll see if you dare to kill me!"

"As you wish!" The Absolute had no patience for further discussion. The Spirit Stone floated

in front of him as he coldly declared, "Star Circuit, restrain!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Whoosh!

The formation activated, and despite it being daytime, stardust flickered above them.

An overwhelming pressure filled the air, exuding a murderous aura.

"My lady, what do we do now?" Terran asked Ice Talker anxiously. John sensed the imminent danger and inquired, "Can't we hide in World-in-Hand?"

The Emperor of the Underworld shook his head. "No, the formation can lock onto your World-

in-Hand and destroy it along with you."

"Ice Talker, I'll give you one last chance to leave," The Absolute said, still somewhat

cautious, manipulating the formation and not rushing to make a move.

Ice Talker ignored him, simply sitting down in a cross-legged position. "Humph, do you really think I won't dare to kill you? Star Circuit, kill!" he shouted angrily,

and within the formation, countless stardust transformed, filling the air with an endless

killing intent.

Buzz!

A piece of stardust shot through the air, followed by a rain of stardust falling like a meteor shower, each containing terrifying destructive power, crashing down toward John and the

others.

Boom!

One piece of stardust fell, accompanied by a thunderous roar, and John was directly knocked back, spitting out blood, a deep humming ringing in his soul.

The overwhelming killing intent had the power to erase souls directly.

Boom!

Another roar followed, and Tony was thrown backward, his golden aura shattering

completely.

He couldn't help but spit out blood, panicking as he exclaimed, "No way, my Immortal

Golden Body can't withstand these attacks!"

John dodged the stardust attacks as best as he could, but the residual energy still injured him.

He looked over at Ice Talker and asked, "Is there really no way to break it?"

Ice Talker shot him a glance and replied coolly, "Accept your fate. Once the Star Circuit

formation is set, no one can break it; we're as good as dead."

"Seriously, you're so calm," John said, feeling exasperated. He gritted his teeth, determined

to bring everyone into World-in-Hand.

Even if World-in-Hand were destroyed, he wouldn't give up.

"Master, I might have a way," Tony said, looking at him.

"Then hurry up and say it," Cand-Dragon snapped, equally frustrated by the relentless

stardust attacks.

"Follow me," Tony said immediately, leading the way toward the cave, with the others following closely behind.

Ice Talker, however, remained seated in her meditative position.

John quickly called out, "Hey, do you really want to die? If you die, I'm not avenging you."

"It's useless. As long as we don't leave the formation, we're doomed," Ice Talker shot back,

glaring at him. Despite her words, she eventually followed the others into the cave.

Boom, boom...

Stardust continued to rain down from above, debris flying as the cave began to collapse.

The falling rocks weren't a threat to them, but the aftermath of the stardust explosions was terrifying. "This way!" Tony transformed back into his true form, his body enveloped in golden light,

and once again activated his Immortal Golden Body to break through the collapsing cave. The others followed closely behind.

This route wasn't meant for transporting ore; the cave became increasingly narrow and

complex, with the spiritual power growing denser.

Tony had to shift back to human form, carefully navigating the path and shattering the massive rocks that continued to fall, leading everyone swiftly through the tunnels. Before long, they reached the end of the cave, where the path ended.
