Chapter 621: Star Shifting Formation
"King," Emperor Yee exclaimed in shock.
"Divine Martial King," Emperor Huang and the others turned pale with fright.
As one of the strongest in the fortress, even the Eight Emperors viewed the Divine Martial King as a divine being.
He could easily slay the powerful Abyss Demon King without ever having been wounded.
And now, he was actually spitting blood?
"Poison Emperor, Golden Emperor, Ice Emperor, you three have quite the audacity," Emperor Yee coldly rebuked.
Emperor Huang, Emperor Tong, Rock Emperor, and Wind Emperor instantly moved to stand in front of the Divine Martial King.
However, these four clearly weren't in good condition; their faces were deathly pale, and their steps wavered.
With a gentle wave of his palm, the Divine Martial King stabilized their forms with a soft force.
"Step aside; I am not so weak as to need your protection," he said with an authoritative voice, calm as a still well.
His solid presence inspired trust and conviction.
Taking a slow step forward, just this single step instantly brought a mountainous presence upon them.
The faces of Poison Emperor and the other two changed.
Heavenly Gold Hall Master and Black Wood Palace Master stepped forward with cold laughs, "Truly worthy of being the Divine Martial King."
"Such severe poison, yet you suppressed it effortlessly."
"However, having used up a great deal of your cultivation to suppress the poison, your strength must have decreased significantly."
The Divine Martial King ignored the two of them and instead looked toward the three Poison Emperors.
His commanding gaze made the faces of the Poison Emperor and his peers somewhat peculiar.
"I need only ask you three one thing, do you intend to rebel?"
"We wouldn't dare," the three of them quickly bowed.
"Then what is the meaning behind your current actions?" the Divine Martial King asked sternly.
"Poison Emperor, what kind of severe poison did you use?" Emperor Yee, who had been following the Divine Martial King, now demanded coldly.
"If anything happens to our leader, I will take your lives."
His icy proclamation, like the cutting wind under the silent night sky, made one shudder.
As the Head of the Eight Emperors, the Rock Army's Commander's threat was something no one dared to take lightly.
The three Poison Emperors were alarmed.
Emperor Yee, as well as the Rock Army, was the only force that dared to traverse the Endless Black Sea freely, even delving into its deepest parts to slaughter.
Even beings as powerful as the Abyss Demon Kings often fell victim to this formidable army.
Even a Supreme Strong would not claim to be able to match this fearsome military power.
"Emperor Yee, please remain calm," Poison Emperor said solemnly, "The Divine Martial King will not be in danger."
"This includes all of your great commanders and sub-commanders; they will be fine."
"I merely added Black Sea Poison into the food and drink."
"You need only mobilize your cultivation within to suppress the poison."
"In two days, the poison will naturally expel itself."
"Merely Black Sea Poison, you think it can overwhelm an Extreme Realm Middle Stage Martial Artist?" Emperor Yee coldly questioned.
All the mighty warriors present had been guarding the East Sea Fortress for many years.
They were more than familiar with the Black Sea Poison.
This black water's toxicity was severe for ordinary martial artists.
But for those above Extreme Realms, the threat was not significant, let alone for Extreme Realm Middle Stage Martial Artists.
Yet now, all Extreme Realm Middle Stage Martial Artists present were collapsing, vomiting blood.
More than half of the thirty-two commanders could hardly stand stably.
Even the Commander-level Eight Emperors had deathly pale faces, their combat abilities greatly reduced.
"Did you remember Black Sea Essence?" Poison Emperor explained.
"Black Sea Essence, refined by the Supreme Strong from the Endless Black Sea."
"A mere drop is the result of a year's refining effort by a Supreme Strong; the essence is refined, but what about the toxicity?"
"For hundreds of years, the separated toxicity was submitted to Black Wood Fortress for me to handle."
"Being a practitioner of the poison arts, these toxicities are nourishing substances for me."
"For hundreds of years, countless Black Sea Poisons were refined by me into Poison Pills."
"You mixed the Poison Pills into the food and drink?" Emperor Yee and the others suddenly realized, their shock swiftly turning into outrage.
They finally understood.
With the Cultivation of the Divine Martial King and the Hall Master, they could almost ignore any severe poison in the world.
But the Poison Pill from the Poison Emperor, containing hundreds of years of refined potent poison, was difficult for even the two of them to withstand.
And the Poison Emperor, as one of the Eight Great Commanders, who would have thought he had malicious intentions?
Moreover, he was considered the master of poison on the continent, highly skilled in his methods.
In a scenario where the prepared prey on the unprepared, naturally, even the Divine Martial King and the Hall Master, as well as all the powerful attendees, had been "affected."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Emperor Huang and others asked coldly.
"It's simple," the Heavenly Gold Hall Master smiled, "Kill Xiao Yi."
"What? You are insane," the Hall Master shouted angrily, "The Abyss Demon Beasts are about to attack."
"Each great power has greatly diminished. If the demon beasts attack, how could the East Sea Fortress hold?"
"Just to kill Xiao Yi, you are acting so recklessly."
"Once the fortress falls, behind it lies billions of human lives on the continent."
"Ha ha ha ha," the Heavenly Gold Hall Master laughed loudly, "Hall Master, you don't need to scare me."
"Which of us strong beings has not guarded the East Sea Fortress for more than a hundred years?"
"We know very well how strong the combat power of the East Sea Fortress is."
"Millions of human powerhouses united cannot be breached by those Abyss Beasts just like that."
"With your and the Divine Martial King's Cultivation, it would only take slightly more than a day to neutralize the Black Sea Poison completely."
"All Commanders and leaders, about two days, then strength can be restored."
"Don't tell me, our grand East Sea 16 Fortresses can't withstand the Abyss Beast Tide for two days."
"Hehe," the Golden Emperor sneered, "Divine Martial King, and you too, Emperor Yee."
"We knew long ago that if we decided to kill Xiao Yi, you would oppose us, even stand on Xiao Yi's side."
"Now, with your strength greatly reduced, you can't stop us."
"One day is enough time for us to kill Xiao Yi a thousand times over."
"How dare you?" the Divine Martial King replied with a powerful aura, his imposing gaze sharp as two blades.
"What don't we dare?" the Golden Emperor smiled, "Now, aren't we about to go and kill him?"
"Hmm," the Hall Master snorted, "I would never have thought, you have gone to great lengths just to kill Xiao Yi."
"But have you forgotten?"
"Xiao Yi, as the most powerful Heavenly Talent across all kingdoms and Martial Arts Holy Lands, is currently cultivating in the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall."
"Without a Token, you can't enter the Main Hall, let alone harm him in the slightest."
"Hehe," the Heavenly Gold Hall Master laughed, "We don't have a Token, but you, Hall Master, do."
"There are two Tokens, one with the Divine Martial King, and one with you, Hall Master."
"The one with the Divine Martial King, he gave to that scumbag Xiao Yi."
"And you, Hall Master, you did not pass yours to Yi Xiao; every time you enter the Main Hall, all 15 Hall Masters follow, you can't fool us."
"Hmm," the Hall Master scoffed coldly, "Though my strength is greatly reduced now, I am not scared of you."
"Wish to take the Token from my hand?"
"Heavenly Gold Hall Master, Black Wood Hall Master, don't overstep," the other 13 Hall Masters shouted coldly, "If you two dare to lay a hand on the Hall Master, it's considered as rebellion."
"Consider the consequences."
"We naturally wouldn't dare attack the Hall Master," the Heavenly Gold Hall Master said with a smirk, "but, if…"
"Star Shifting Formation." Just then, a cold shout sounded.
A figure appeared out of nowhere.
The figure was a man in his early thirties, handsome and with a distinguished air.
It was Bai Mohan.
At that moment, in Bai Mohan's hand, a sudden flash of light, a Token appeared in his grasp.
It was the Main Hall Token.
"Eh?" the Hall Master was surprised.
The Heavenly Gold Hall Master smirked triumphantly, "Hall Master, do you think we've been talking so much here for what?"
"We were just waiting for our friend Mo Han to set up the Formation."
"Star Shifting Formation, the teleportation formation of the Heavenly Flame Formation Master?" The Hall Master's face turned extremely grim, the Token in his chest had already disappeared.
