"Who dares to lay a hand on this seat's servant!"
"Song Ziyang" slowly turned his head, revealing a pair of black pupils.
A dark, ethereal glow emanated from his eyes, making him appear demonic.
"Third-grade Nascent Soul!"
Even Yang Tianfeng beside him couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a sense of extreme dread flashing across his face.
A third-grade Nascent Soul cultivator was already considered a true powerhouse within Dragon Country!
And it seemed that the person behind this was merely manifesting through Song Ziyang's body, not revealing their true strength.
If even a mere clone possessed the cultivation of a third-grade Nascent Soul, how incredibly powerful must the true individual behind it be?
"Hehehehe!"
"So much human scent, so much the aroma of fresh blood!"
Song Ziyang looked at Lin Chen and the others, his black eyes gleaming with a hint of greed.
He had been sealed in the ancient forbidden zone for so many years, and he hadn't tasted the essence of blood in ages!
Although he was still within the seal and could only emerge through Song Ziyang's body, if he could consume enough blood essence to recover his true cultivation.
Breaking through the formation and reappearing in the world would only be a matter of time.
He never expected that on his very first emergence, he would encounter so many powerful individuals!
One cultivator at the second-grade Nascent Soul realm, and so many at the Core Formation stage. If he could absorb all their life essence, he would definitely be able to mend his injuries!
Thinking of this, Song Ziyang's face was filled with longing.
It was as if he could already see himself breaking through the seal and wreaking havoc across the entire world!
"Lin Chen, seal the formation! No matter what, we cannot let this thing escape!"
Sensing the aura emanating from the opponent, Yang Tianfeng immediately turned to Lin Chen beside him, his expression grave.
He knew he was no match for this Song Ziyang. The only thing he could do now was to stall for time.
Then, he would immediately transmit a message to the powerful experts of his sect, requesting reinforcements.
Once this entity appeared in the cultivation world, it would undoubtedly trigger a massive bloodbath!
"Alright!"
Hearing Yang Tianfeng's words, Lin Chen quickly reacted.
"Mom, Dad, you leave first!"
Then, Lin Chen looked back at his parents.
He didn't want to save the world, but he also didn't want the people he cared about most to be harmed!
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Lin Xianfeng said nothing more. He directly knocked Wang Fang unconscious with a strike as she was about to speak.
He knew that with Wang Fang's personality, she absolutely would not leave now.
Then, Lin Xianfeng directly carried Wang Fang and Yang Xinxin towards the back door of the villa.
Seeing that the few non-combatants had left, Lin Chen felt a slight sense of relief.
"Hmph, trying to escape? Do you still think you can get away?"
However, just as Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a strong surge of blood energy erupt from within the formation.
The blood energy corrupted the formation he had set up, stripping away all control.
Seeing this, Zhao Heng felt a surge of immense helplessness.
At the mid-Core Formation stage, one was simply too powerless before a Nascent Soul cultivator.
With Song Ziyang's interference, the entire formation's aura completely shifted, trapping everyone present.
Even lifting a foot to leave seemed impossible for Lin Chen.
Even the transmission jade slip Yang Tianfeng took out seemed to have lost its effect under the corrosion of this blood energy.
"What is going on?"
Seeing this, Yang Tianfeng's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief.
He was considered knowledgeable, yet this was the first time he had witnessed such a bizarre occurrence!
"Hmph, a mere junior at the early Nascent Soul stage, how dare you be so arrogant before this seat!"
"In my prime, someone like you would only be fit to be my servant."
Song Ziyang snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain.
He was naturally aware of the current general situation in Dragon Country, and thus knew that before he fully recovered his strength, there were still individuals in the cultivation world who could contend with him.
Therefore, he had to act cautiously now.
Otherwise, any slight misstep could lead to everything being in vain!
He had been trapped within that formation for nearly a thousand years, and now, by any means necessary, he had to find a way to escape!
"A junior at the early Nascent Soul stage?"
Hearing the other party's address, Yang Tianfeng's heart leaped, a premonition of extreme dread filling him.
In the current era, with the spiritual energy being so scarce, few bothered to distinguish between early and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Take himself, for example. Although he was at the early Nascent Soul stage, he was not a complete Nascent Soul realm cultivator in the true sense.
Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage had to merge their divine consciousness before they could commune with heaven and earth, thereby achieving a true Nascent Soul.
However, due to the sparse spiritual energy in the world today, it was nearly impossible for cultivators to commune with heaven and earth!
Only the Nascent Soul Pills left behind from ancient times contained a trace of the true essence of heaven and earth.
The Nascent Soul cultivators of the present day were, in essence, merely using rare treasures to forcefully break through their cultivation. They were only stronger than Core Formation cultivators in terms of spiritual energy and cultivation level.
But beyond that, the original ability of Nascent Soul cultivators to commune with heaven and earth had been completely lost here.
The Nascent Soul cultivators of ancient times, who could move mountains and fill seas, were truly mighty beings!
And they, in the present day, were incapable of such feats!
Yet, it seemed that this Song Ziyang before him could easily commune with the true essence of heaven and earth, and effortlessly turn Lin Chen's formation into his own.
Judging by this, this individual must be a Nascent Soul powerhouse from the ancient era!
Today, they were likely truly going to perish here!
"Boy, I see you have some talent. Are you willing to become my furnace?"
However, just as Yang Tianfeng was contemplating what to do, Song Ziyang spoke again.
He was extremely envious of Lin Chen's talent and innate potential.
If he could directly seize Lin Chen's body, his recovery would undoubtedly be much faster once he regained his strength.
But the current host, this good-for-nothing, had only reached the mid-Core Formation stage after so many years of cultivation.
And most importantly, due to years of following the wrong path, his root bone had already been damaged.
But Lin Chen, standing before him, was different. The purity of his spiritual energy even surprised him.
This was truly the perfect candidate for a furnace!
"Heh, become your furnace? Then release them first, and we can discuss it!"
Hearing that Song Ziyang intended to seize his body, Lin Chen shuddered.
