How could Old Demon Yu Chen be fooled by Xu Ning's bluff? He launched an attack imdiately without hesitation. His black and red unidentified magic weapon slamd into the Tiancheng Sect's formation with terrifying force.
A deafening boom echoed across the mountain as the Tiancheng Sect's formation emitted terrifying spiritual-level fluctuations, blocking Yu Chen's attack completely. The barrier held firm.
"Eh!" Old Demon Yu Chen exclaid in surprise, his eyes narrowing. He launched another attack, pouring more power into it.
The result was the sa. The formation remained unmoved, not even cracking.
Xu Ning, Qi Ruifeng, and the disciples of the Tiancheng Sect below all breathed a sigh of relief, tension draining from their shoulders.
"What's going on? This is clearly just a Yuan-level formation! It shouldn't be this strong!" Old Demon Yu Chen couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with frustration.
However, no one answered him. They all watched quietly from behind the barrier, their hearts still filled with unease.
"Master, activate the attack formation. Test him," Xu Ning whispered to his master, Qi Ruifeng, his eyes fixed on the demon outside.
Qi Ruifeng nodded, his hand ready. "Alright! Let's see how he handles this."
As Old Demon Yu Chen prepared to attack again, another formation activated, emitting a terrifying red light. A beam shot towards him.
However, a Golden Core cultivator was still a Golden Core cultivator. He easily dodged the array's light with a flash of movent, then changed position to continue attacking the defensive array from a new angle.
The array attacked again, but he still dodged it, his speed unmatched.
Qi Ruifeng couldn't help but turn to Xu Ning and say, his voice low, "Thank goodness we didn't let him in. What kind of trap would that have been? Otherwise, we'd be finished. We'd be sitting ducks."
Xu Ning nodded sincerely. When dealing with Foundation Establishnt cultivators before, he always let them in directly, using a Spirit-Trapping Array to trap them and slowly kill them, preventing their escape. That strategy wouldn't work here.
Fortunately, both master and disciple were cautious and didn't choose the previous thod this ti. Otherwise, the entire sect wouldn't have survived.
Afterwards, Old Demon Yu Chen attacked continuously outside for half an hour, becoming sowhat breathless from the effort. But the defensive array remained unmoved, its light unwavering.
"What kind of damn array is this?!" Finally, Yu Chen roared in anger, his voice echoing across the mountains.
At this mont, an aura no less powerful than that of Old Demon Yu Chen suddenly arrived, sweeping over the battlefield. A voice followed: "Old Demon Yu Chen, you killed my Autumn Night Sect's Holy Son! Today, you will die! There's no escape!"
Yu Chen looked up in surprise, his expression shifting. He retorted without flinching, "Fang Chenpei of the Autumn Night Sect, do you think you can stop ? You're no stronger than I am."
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared opposite Yu Chen, radiating the terrifying aura of a Golden Core cultivator. It was Fang Chenpei, a Golden Core cultivator from the Autumn Night Sect.
"Whether I can be stopped or not, we'll find out after we try!" Fang Chenpei said, waving his hand. A long sword appeared in his grasp. He then swung the sword directly at Old Demon Yu Chen without hesitation.
Yu Chen was not afraid at all. He raised his weapon to et the attack head-on.

Boom!—
Before the weapons even touched, the terrifying spiritual energy collided, producing a deafening roar that shook the air.
Neither dared to stop. They continued charging at each other, entering the explosion generated by the collision.
Boom!—
The weapons collided, creating another deafening explosion. The aftershocks rippled outwards, striking the Heavenly Inheritance Sect's formation, causing the formation's light barrier to tremble and ripple.
Xu Ning and his companions, inside the formation, watched with trepidation, their hearts in their throats.
Rumbling—
Rumbling—
The fighting outside continued, unleashing terrifying collisions that sent shockwaves rippling across the Tiancheng Sect's formation. The ground shook.
Seeing the situation finally stabilizing, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The formation was holding.
To be honest, establishing the Tiancheng Sect was the most risky thing he had ever done since coming to this world. He had been hiding for centuries before this.
When he decided to take the imperial examinations before, it wasn't actually risky. He had already reached the Innate Realm and possessed powerful weapons like axes and knives. He could defend himself.
Before making that decision, he had already determined that as long as he didn't encounter a Grandmaster or any other cultivator, he would be safe. The mortal realm was safe.
This ti was completely different. The sect was too large a target, and they couldn't move easily. He was exposed, making it very dangerous. Anyone could target them.
If it weren't for the remnants of the Tiancheng Sect's inherited formation, Xu Ning would have run away long ago. If it weren't for his master Qi Ruifeng's cultivation techniques and manuals, Xu Ning would never have done it. It was too risky.
Of course, although risky, the rewards were good. At least for now, Tiancheng Sect was absolutely safe in the entire Guchen Mountain Range. They had a reputation.
Due to the thin spiritual energy in the Guchen Mountain Range, it simply couldn't support the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators. They left before reaching that stage. So the most powerful were Golden Core.
Currently, there were no Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Guchen Mountain Range, so no one could break through Tiancheng Sect's formation. It was very safe.
Therefore, for the next few hundred or even several thousand years, one only needed to peacefully develop within Tiancheng Sect. It was a long-term plan.
After relaxing, Xu Ning, out of curiosity, picked three leaves and threw them out. He looked up at the old demon Yu Chen and Fang Chenpei fighting outside.
He couldn't see anything. Their futures were blank.
Xu Ning couldn't help but frown. This must be because the difference in strength was too great, making it impossible to see anything about the other party. They were beyond his divination.
Then Xu Ning thought of another question. Is everything already predetermined? Is there really no way to change it?
Perhaps he could try in the future, when he was stronger.
For example, his cheap master Qi Ruifeng. His fate was actually predetermined. If he could find a way to change it, could he change his fate? Could he break through the bottleneck?
Of course, it was also possible that Xu Ning was overthinking things. After all, even the ancient cultivators hadn't found a way, specifically noting in the Sky-Gazing Technique that fate couldn't be changed. How could he possibly change it? It was likely impossible.
---
The battle outside continued, the ground riddled with craters from their collisions. The landscape was being reshaped.
Yu Chen suddenly spoke up, his voice strained. "Fang Chenpei, our strengths are evenly matched. You can't possibly kill . This is a waste of ti."
Fang Chenpei laughed. "Hahahaha, do you think I don't know that? I'm not alone."
Upon hearing this, the old demon Yu Chen's expression changed, realizing sothing was wrong. "Not good!"
After saying this, he turned to flee, his speed blurring.
However, it seed too late. Several auras of Golden Core cultivators suddenly appeared from different directions, trapping Old Demon Yu Chen within their formation.
Old Demon Yu Chen's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, you ambushed ! Cowards!"
But it was too late. Four Golden Core cultivators appeared simultaneously, launching a fatal attack on Old Demon Yu Chen from all sides.
"Blood Release!" Old Demon Yu Chen roared, his body instantly splitting into six clones, each fleeing in a different direction to escape.
The arriving Golden Core cultivators were no pushovers. They simultaneously used their trump cards to launch attacks, their weapons flashing.
In an instant, they shattered five of Old Demon Yu Chen's clones, leaving only one. They then chased after the last one, surrounding him.
Finally, Old Demon Yu Chen was trapped in the center, his face grave as he looked at the Golden Core cultivators surrounding him. There was no escape.
Fang Chenpei smiled coldly. "Old Demon Yu Chen, today you will die. There's no way out."
Old Demon Yu Chen raised his head and grinned maliciously, his eyes wild. "Kill ! You are not worthy! Demon Descend—"
"Not good!" Fang Chenpei and the others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, their faces paling. They wanted to make a move, but it was already too late.
In the sky, the black and red demonic energy spread wildly, completely obscuring the sky and sun. The world darkened.
Then, a colossal, imposing figure suddenly appeared in the sky, towering over them. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a bright red humanoid monster, its form terrifying.
The giant red figure then suddenly raised its leg and stomped downwards towards the cultivators below.
