Boundless black flames coalesced, forming a black sword light, swiftly striking the light screen of the Beidou Seven Stars Formation.

This blow was immensely powerful, far surpassing the previous ones, and directly cut a crack over two meters long in the light screen of the Beidou Seven Stars Formation.

This crack was negligible compared to the massive body of the Heavenly Nether Bird, but it was more than enough for these human martial artists.

"Hurry up and get in!"

Just then, the Heavenly Nether Bird shouted coldly, causing the surrounding martial artists to tremble and quickly enter the crack without delay.

As soon as all the martial artists had entered, the pitch-black crack began to close gradually, finally returning to its original intact state.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless figures appeared within the array formation.

Though they had entered the formation, they could still feel the terrifying pressure from the Heavenly Nether Bird outside the array.

Moreover, a voice echoed in their minds.

They quickly turned their heads to look behind them according to the voice.

Instantly, on the array formation light screen between the Heavenly Nether Bird and these people, something resembling a map formed.

This is the topographic map of the Azure Pine Hall; you must remember it clearly.

The map existed for a very short time, disappearing along with the disappearance of the Heavenly Nether Bird's voice.

However, everyone there was a master in the Venerable Realm, so their memories were not lacking, and in an instant, they had firmly memorized the map.

Once the map vanished, the Black Lotus Mark on everyone's body also ceased to glow. Moreover, the oppressive aura brought by the Nether Bird outside the formation seemed to weaken significantly.

Feeling this change, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they began to gather swiftly according to their respective factions.

At this moment, two figures rushed over from afar, with one figure calling out quickly, "Qingcheng, are you alright!"

Upon seeing this figure, everyone was shocked in their hearts, while Murong Qingcheng smiled sweetly.

Because these two figures were Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue, and the one who spoke was Lin Xuan.

"I'm fine, it was thrilling but without danger," Murong Qingcheng said with a smile.

At this moment, a cold snort came: "Kid, you dare to play tricks in front of Lord Heavenly Nether Bird, you're definitely dead this time."

"Once this is over, Lord Heavenly Nether Bird will definitely burn you to ashes!"

The people from the Divine Bird Palace sneered.

The Ninth Young Master from the Shen Family also looked at Lin Xuan with killing intent in his eyes.

Others wore strange expressions because, up until now, they couldn't figure out how Lin Xuan had managed to get in.

Hearing the threats from the Divine Bird Palace, Lin Xuan snorted coldly.

"A bunch of idiots, do you really think that after you help the Heavenly Nether Bird accomplish its task, it will just let you go?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, with the Heavenly Nether Bird's cruel nature, how could it possibly let them go? Perhaps as soon as they completed the task, the Heavenly Nether Bird would kill them all.

Even the people from the Divine Bird Palace wore extremely grim expressions, bewildered by this question. However, they didn't want to see Lin Xuan's smug expression, so they coldly said.

"Lord Heavenly Nether Bird is a figure who surpasses Kings; whatever he says is definitely reliable!"

"As long as we help him complete the task, he will certainly let us go."

"Lord?"

Lin Xuan looked at the people of the Divine Bird Palace with disdain, "I really don't know if you are human or Demon Beasts, to call a Supreme Beast a lord."

"If it were a human expert, maybe we could trust them, but for a Demon Beast, I really can't find any reason to trust it."

Lin Xuan said coldly.

Hearing this, everyone hesitated.

"Are we really going to help the Heavenly Nether Bird complete its task?"

"But what else can we do if we don't complete the task? Our time is limited, and besides, the Heavenly Nether Bird has placed prohibitions on us.

If we don't do as he says, once the time is up, the Black Flames within us will ignite, and then we won't be able to escape either."

Many martial artists shook their heads and sighed.

"Perhaps we can find the key to the Star Chain and then negotiate with the Heavenly Nether Bird."

A martial artist said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, nodding in agreement, as this indeed was a good idea.

However, just as they broke into smiles, the martial artist who suggested this suddenly burst into flames, and the Black Flames instantly engulfed him.

In the blink of an eye, that martial artist was burnt clean, leaving no trace.

Seeing this scene, everyone froze on the spot, seemingly covered by a massive fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Burned, it burned, the Black Flames within us burned!"

Someone said shakily.

"This is impossible. We just came in, did nothing, and there is plenty of time left for the limitation. How could it burn without reason?"

Everyone was frightened and couldn't understand.

However, outside the Defensive Array, the Heavenly Nether Bird was watching them with icy eyes.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, trying to control me, how ridiculous!"

It turns out the Heavenly Nether Bird was monitoring every move of these people, even able to hear their conversations clearly.

However, the people inside the array were completely unaware of this.

At this moment, the Dark Red Divine Dragon spoke.

"Stop talking, all of you. The Heavenly Nether Bird can hear all your words; that guy just now offended him with his words, and that's why he ended up like that."

"What? It can hear our conversations!"

After hearing the Dark Red Divine Dragon's words, everyone was startled, but then they understood.

Because each of them bore the Black Lotus Mark, this thing was unbelievably mysterious. It's possible that the Heavenly Nether Bird was using this Black Lotus Mark to eavesdrop on their conversations.

"Why don't we use Divine Sense to communicate?" someone suggested.

"Don't bother, anything you do will not escape the surveillance of the Heavenly Nether Bird, so I advise you to just stay put obediently."

The Dark Red Divine Dragon said coldly.

"Because he used to be someone beyond a king, he is very familiar with such characters' means."

The tactics of such a supreme being are absolutely beyond what these Venerable can comprehend.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned very ugly. They felt as if they were being watched, unable to do anything to threaten the Heavenly Nether Bird.

In other words, their lives were firmly in the hands of the Heavenly Nether Bird.

From the conversations of the others, Lin Xuan also learned about their goals: first, to find the Array Formation Room that can control the array.

The second is to find the key that can unlock the Star Chain on the Heavenly Nether Bird.

After learning this information, Lin Xuan's eyes flickered; he and Zhao Xue had entered earlier, so they weren't completely aware of the situation outside.

However, it seems now, that although the Heavenly Nether Bird is terrifying, it probably can't enter the array for a while, and it seems there's a powerful prohibition on it.
