Now that things had reached this point, there was no longer any need for Lunara to pretend.
"Ancient Forbidden Technique, Blood Contract Technique!"
Her voice was cold, clear, and filled with suppressed hatred.
"Valerius… Chief Palace Master."
The mont those words left her mouth, Eryon's expression changed drastically.
His pupils shrank, and the pride he had always worn like armor shattered in an instant. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
He understood.
He finally understood.
The blood contract technique was sothing he could not break.
Valerius was soone he could not oppose.
A crushing sense of powerlessness surged from the depths of his heart.
"Young Patriarch…"
Kairon, not far away, looked at Eryon and slowly shook his head.
"Heavens…"
Eryon exhaled deeply and slowly loosened his fists.
Although persistent, he was not foolish. Since Lunara had chosen to stand on the opposite side of the Palace of the Four Cycles, it was already aningless to cling to old feelings.
From this mont on—
Lunara was no longer soone he pursued.
She was an enemy.
"Why?" Lunara suddenly laughed, her tone filled with undisguised ridicule.
"Didn't you once boast that you were unrivaled in the Demon Territory? And now?"
Eryon's gaze turned icy.
"I admit it. This ti, I cannot help you."
"Since you chose betrayal and turned your blade against the Palace of the Four Cycles, from today onward—Lunara—you are my enemy!"
"Enemy?" Lunara sneered.
"I should be the one saying that."
"I will fight Valerius and the Golden Phoenix clan to the death. You and I have no deep hatred. Leave now."
"I should be the one saying that."
"I will fight Valerius and the Golden Phoenix clan to the death. You and I have no deep hatred. Leave now."
"But if you insist on standing in my way…" Her murderous aura surged violently.
"You will bear the consequences."
"Enough nonsense!" Ember roared impatiently.
"Ethan's technique is not simple!"
"Everyone, go all out! Break these golden chains, capture Ethan and this traitor Lunara, and deliver them to the Chief Palace Master!"
"Capture ?" A faint smile curved Ethan's lips.
"I'm afraid… you no longer have that chance."
He clasped his palms together.
Fla patterns rapidly condensed, interweaving like ancient runes.
"Heaven Burning Ten Thousand Fire Formation."
"Open!"
The mont his voice fell—
Boom!
Within a radius of nearly thirty ters, streaks of fire suddenly burst forth from the void. Fla pillars rose from invisible nodes, shooting straight into the sky. Formation patterns spread rapidly, overlapping and connecting, forming a vast and terrifying fla array.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
As the final formation node connected, the Heaven Burning Ten Thousand Fire Formation fully condensed.
The temperature of the space skyrocketed.
Pressure crushed downward.
Flas surged like a living tide.
Sorrel and the others scread as their bodies were instantly wrapped in four different types of flas. Their demonic energy burned, their flesh scorched, and even their souls felt as though they were being roasted.
Their faces turned pale, beads of sweat pouring down like rain.
"What kind of formation is this?!"
"When did he arrange it?!"
Ember gritted her teeth, veins throbbing on her forehead.
"No—there are four powerful spiritual flas!"
"How is that even possible?!"
"Why can one person possess four different spiritual fires at the sa ti?!"
"Doesn't that lead to self destruction?!" Sorrel roared in disbelief.
"Activate ntal defenses!" Kairon shouted urgently.
"This fla burns the mind and soul!"
Only then did the trapped demons hurriedly form ntal barriers or activate spiritual weapons, barely stabilizing their condition.
Ethan raised his hand.
Several drops of blood essence shot out and sank directly into the formation.
The Heaven-Burning Ten Thousand Fire Formation roared in response.
Its power climbed again.
High above the formation, the Star of Great Stillness still hovered quietly, its brilliance undiminished, its destructive aura undispersed.
"Star of Great Stillness," Ethan said softly.
"Go."
The radiance from the shattered Four Cycle Prison Formation had not fully faded when the star-like fireball surged forward once more.
Axel and Kaela felt that familiar terror instantly.
They turned their heads—
And their expressions changed completely.
"How is this possible?! His attack hasn't dissipated yet!"
"Everyone, go all out!" Kaela scread.
"If we don't block this, we die here!"
Ember stared at the approaching star.
The closer it ca, the brighter it beca.
The terrifying fla power within it made her scalp tingle.
If she took this head-on—
Even she did not dare say she would survive.
"What level of secret thod is this…?"
Ember bit her lower lip hard, blood seeping through. Her golden pupils blazed as she activated her demonic energy and bloodline power to the absolute limit.
At this mont, there was no room for hesitation.
Every single one of them revealed their trump cards.
Secret techniques ignited.
Bloodline powers awakened.
Inside the Heaven Burning Ten Thousand Fire Formation, power erupted chaotically, colliding with the roaring flas.
Outside the formation, Lunara watched silently.
Her jewel like eyes trembled faintly.
She had thought Ethan was already going all out earlier.
But now she understood—
He had been holding back all along.
To reach this point and still unleash such terrifying power…
Her heart trembled.
"What kind of monster… is he?"
With such talent and combat strength, even the most peerless geniuses of ancient tis might not compare.
"This ti," Lunara murmured softly,
"my choice… may truly be the right one."
Her expression quickly hardened again as she fixed her gaze on the center of the formation.
The Star of Great Stillness stopped.
It hovered at the core of the Heaven Burning Ten Thousand Fire Formation.
Its light was blinding.
Its pressure was suffocating.
If it detonated—
Nothing inside would remain.
"Burst."
Ethan clenched his fist.
In that instant—
The star exploded.
Light swallowed everything.
The flas surged outward like a collapsing sun, power waves passing through the formation and spreading in silence.
In the distance, Alina's beautiful face was filled with shock.
"This Ethan…"
"He's been hiding everything until now."
"What kind of secrets does he hold?"
"To be able to release such terrifying combat power under the suppression of the rules."
