# Chapter 1776: The First Slaughter Formation Since Ancient Times
The four forbidden zones emerged simultaneously, standing majestically, forming a three-dimensional encirclement around Ye Fan!
Although they were not physically manifested, these imprints were identical to real scenes—the mountains and rivers were grand, the great formations appeared, truly a place of utter annihilation.
Ye Fan was deeply trapped in a dangerous situation. He was trapped here, with each forbidden zone being an imperial path formation, firmly locking down the Mythological Battlefield. It could be said that he had no way out whatsoever.
To escape, he could only fight his way out, staining himself with imperial blood!
Ye Fan's eyes flickered. He was no longer unfamiliar with the other three forbidden zones. Only the last one, although he had visited it several times, still had a shroud of mist hanging over his heart.
"Young man, today you have no escape!" Imperial Lord Ling shouted. The silver blade beside him dripped strands of holy radiance, suspended at his side with a heaven-swallowing momentum.
The Primordial Qi Cauldron above Ye Fan's head rose and fell. On the cauldron's walls, fresh red liquid flowed—the blood of past supremes seemed not yet dry. The phantom images of Stone Emperor, Carefree Heavenly Venerable, Beast God, and others emerged, imprinted upon it, further displaying its supreme might.
"I have survived until now by fighting my way through, not by being scared. My cauldron has not tasted supreme blood for many years. Today, I will have a great slaughter!"
These words were resounding and powerful, shaking the entire sea of stars, spreading beyond the Mythological Battlefield. All the great powerful races of the universe trembled. They had been watching this apocalyptic final battle, but dared not approach, not knowing how it was going. Now they finally heard a sound.
With a rumbling sound, the four forbidden zones converged, blocking all directions, turning this place into a vast forbidden zone battlefield.
"To have the people of the forbidden zones join forces against you—although you are not the first, it is no small feat. You should be proud. Even in the most glorious history of divine wars, you will have a place!"
The four supremes each represented one region, fully prepared, vowing to kill Ye Fan.
"I am truly curious. Heaven Above, also known as the Burial Heaven Island—what mysterious origin does this forbidden zone have?"
No one expected that just as the great battle was about to begin, Ye Fan would abruptly say such words, not worried about his own life or death, but wanting to explore secrets.
"It is ancient beyond anyone's knowledge!" Great Roc Emperor said coldly.
Burial Heaven Island was a mysterious place. Even the supremes of the various forbidden zones could not explain it clearly, because when Great Roc Emperor and others took control, they found nothing here.
They only knew that it was ancient, having experienced countless great calamities throughout the ages, as if it were a divine land that had buried Heaven Above. However, the ancient caves were empty, leaving nothing behind.
In this place, there was an immortal aura that could perhaps slow the flow of time, or it could be said to have a kind of longevity energy, giving people vitality, preventing premature decline.
Such a supreme divine land naturally became the most needed treasure land for supremes, transforming into a great forbidden zone of life.
This was only what Ye Fan had learned from others. He did not know the specific secrets, so he wanted to ask here. Unfortunately, the four supremes did not understand either, and even if they did, they would be too lazy to tell him.
"Kill!"
Now, killing him was the fundamental goal. Great Roc Emperor let out a great roar. The golden whip in his hand swept across Burial Heaven Island, splitting down vertically to cut Ye Fan.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? In the end, Stone Emperor, Beast God, and Carefree Heavenly Venerable will be your fate—I killed them all!" Ye Fan also roared.
He was unmatched in dominance, his long black hair wildly dancing, like a demon god. The Heavenly Emperor Fist reappeared in the world after many years, fiercely attacking Great Roc Emperor, clashing head-on with the golden whip.
The four experts moved simultaneously. Divine Ruins, Primordial Ancient Mine, Immortal Mound, and Burial Heaven Island all shook together. Endless runes spread out, covering this universe.
Each person stood in one direction, on their own main battlefield. They were too familiar with their respective forbidden zones. Those array patterns could enhance them, making them more powerful, while harming Ye Fan.
This time, to kill Ye Fan, they had put in full effort!
"Do you think this can kill me? It's not like I haven't been to these places before!" Ye Fan had the Primordial Qi Cauldron above his head, evolving the Heavenly Emperor Fist, slaughtering in all directions, like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the world, with divine light of billions of zhang, hard-hitting the forbidden zones.
"Today, you will surely die!" Corpse Emperor drew his bow, still without arrows, but the killing intent surged forth. The moment the bowstring was released, Ye Fan's brow felt as if cut by a knife. The Primordial Qi Cauldron fell, blocking the invisible arrow in front of his brow. Then, with a turn of the Stride Art, he charged directly forward, entering the Primordial Forbidden Zone to kill Corpse Emperor.
However, the earlier feeling of heart-palpitation appeared again. He seemed to see scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, immortals falling, and his vision turned crimson.
At the same time, a supremely sharp sword qi shot out, flying toward Ye Fan. He retreated at extreme speed, but even so, a blood flower bloomed on his shoulder.
The next moment, the atmosphere here completely changed, entirely different. Killing intent penetrated to the bone, a fierce aura covered the sky and earth. The world was blood-red, with the stench of blood assailing the nostrils.
Even the four forbidden zones were the same, all dyed blood-red. A hazy blood mist flowed, very astonishing. The baleful energy was overwhelming, the slaughter calamity immeasurable!
In different directions, four killing swords hung, their bodies dark red. The murderous aura flowing from them was terrifying and astonishing, making even supremes' hearts jump with fear.
On each killing sword were blurry imprints, recording terrible patterns of immortal slaughter, chilling to the bone. That aura spread, cold to the marrow of the supremes.
Ye Fan shuddered violently. He recognized what this was—the four killing swords of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable from the Mythological Era, capable of slaying immortals and emperors, breaking through everything!
The earlier feeling of heart-palpitation was precisely because of the lurking of these four immortal swords. They were the most terrifying murder weapons in the world, indestructible through countless calamities, passed down to today, having created boundless blood calamities.
"Legend has it that these are murder weapons stained with immortal blood. Today, the four of us will use them to bury you. You can be considered as looking down upon the world." Immortal Matriarch said coldly.
Ye Fan did not speak, but looked up at the sky. There, a formation diagram slowly rotated, chaotic qi hazy, the laws of the great Dao spreading, covering the entire Mythological Battlefield.
This caused his pupils to contract sharply. The slaughter formation diagram of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable had also appeared. The death ground was complete!
If Pang Bo were here, he would surely exclaim—the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords of Tongtian Cult Leader and the formation diagram gathered together, invincible under heaven, who could stop them?
Although Ye Fan would not have the definition of Tongtian Cult Leader in his heart, he knew it was really about the same. The slaughter formation left by Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable could be called the first throughout the ages.
Because he had created the "Formation" secret, his attainments in formations were unmatched in the world. The essence of his life was left in the slaughter formation diagram, coupled with the four legendary swords that had drunk immortal blood, unmatched in the world.
According to legend, as long as the sword formation was complete and presided over by a Great Emperor, it could absolutely kill a peak imperial path supreme!
And now, four supremes were presiding over this first slaughter formation since ancient times. Who could break it? Trapped within, it was almost a certain death situation.
This was a great crisis. Ye Fan was deeply trapped in the formation, encountering the most terrifying calamity since his emergence. One wrong move and he would be annihilated in both body and spirit.
"Over the years, you have really taken great pains—concealing heavenly secrets, manipulating creation, always searching for the four swords and the formation diagram, finally obtaining them." Ye Fan sighed softly.
No wonder the forbidden zones of life had waited until today to act with such confidence. Not long ago, they had found and refined the last immortal sword, finally having no scruples.
"You also sent people to search, but how could you compare to us?" Corpse Emperor sneered.
Over so many years, Ye Fan had indeed been preparing various countermeasures. Among them, he was determined to obtain these four immortal swords and the formation diagram, but he had never succeeded.
"This is your end. Did you really think you were invincible under heaven? Opposing the forbidden zones, you still cannot escape the fate of falling. We didn't deal with you before simply because we couldn't be bothered!"
Imperial Lord Ling roared, urging the immortal sword. A blood light immediately shot forth, slashing toward Ye Fan.
"Kill!"
The other three supremes acted simultaneously. The four immortal swords vibrated together, tens of thousands of chaotic sword beams slashing over, with blood light filling the sky, drowning this place.
This was a fatal strike. Even the greatest hero could not withstand it.
The cauldron above Ye Fan's head rose and fell, clanging, scarred and battered by ten thousand swords, suffering heavy blows in the first slaughter formation since ancient times.
If not for the cauldron's astonishing defensive power, Ye Fan might have already suffered many sword wounds. Here, there was simply no way to dodge. The formation diagram rotated, the four swords shone, with heaven-defying battle-immortal power!
This was not only the manifestation of the Formation secret but also the ultimate expression of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable's lifelong research on formations, transformed into the strongest slaughter formation, now activated to unleash a great slaughter calamity.
Ye Fan roared in fury. His divine phenomena expanded, the Primordial Qi Cauldron covering his body. Within this first slaughter formation, he resisted, charged, and attacked toward one corner, trying to break the formation.
At this moment, he unleashed all kinds of secret techniques, and he himself showed signs of turning into chaos.
But at this time, the four supremes were determined to kill him, exerting their utmost to operate the great formation. Moreover, each of their weapons was suspended at the formation gates, merging with the four swords, causing the formation's power to surge!
In addition, the imprints left by the four forbidden zones came to life at this moment, transforming into four great formations, faintly resonating with the formation diagram, pressing forward together.
A certain death situation, unsolvable!
Four supremes presiding over the enhanced version of the first slaughter formation—trapped within, there was no way to break it.
Ye Fan had fallen into the most dangerous situation. Since his emergence, he had never been so passive. There was no way to resolve it; this was beyond human capability.
"Clang!"
The Primordial Qi Cauldron was pierced through. With a "puff," a blood hole appeared on his body. This was the first strike, followed by a storm of attacks.
Sure enough, the formation diagram turned, its aura growing stronger. Presided over by four, with eight weapons moving together, immortal light shot forth, the slaughter calamity immeasurable. No one could resist or resolve it.
No matter how great Ye Fan's divine powers, within the formation, blood flowers bloomed. The moment the Primordial Qi Cauldron was broken, he faced the first slaughter formation directly, suffering dozens of chaotic sword beams.
Blood dyed the great formation red. Although Ye Fan had heaven-defying abilities, he was still a single tree unable to support the forest. This was beyond what human power could resist!
With so many supremes presiding over the first slaughter formation since ancient times, anyone who came alone to face it would be useless, unable to resist!
"Hahaha..." Immortal Matriarch laughed loudly, but her eyes grew colder. "In such a slaughter calamity, if you can still survive, that would truly be heaven-defying!"
"I will not only defy heaven, but also cut down all of you!" Ye Fan shouted. (To be continued.)
