Lin Feng naturally worried about these matters in his heart. If something terrifying were released, his life could also be at risk.

However, Lin Feng reconsidered. Now he was surrounded by the Thunder Dragon and couldn’t escape at all.

This situation wasn’t sustainable; he had to find a way out; otherwise, he would just be waiting to die.

If that was the case,

then why not break the seal now? If he released some powerful creature, perhaps in the chaos, he could escape.

After thinking about this,

Lin Feng made up his mind.

He took a step forward, intending to step onto the Eight Diagrams.

Buzz!

At that moment, a violent wave of energy was transmitted from the Eight Diagrams.

As that wave spread,

a human silhouette materialized.

It was an extremely handsome man, seeming to be in his thirties, standing at the center of the Eight Diagrams, looking at Lin Feng.

A series of earth-shattering waves of energy emanated from the man’s body.

The man raised his right hand, intending to blast Lin Feng with one deadly strike.

Lin Feng’s face turned pale. This man’s terrifying power, the aura he emitted, made him feel enveloped by the breath of death.

"Is this the Ancestor of the Heavenly Master Dao?"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but wonder. He quickly operated the "Wordless True Scripture" passed down by the Heavenly Master Dao.

This was a cultivation technique recorded on the Stone Scripture, the foundational legacy of the Heavenly Master Dao. In the future, if he found the Holy Artifact Stone Scripture of the Heavenly Master Dao, operating the Wordless True Scripture could communicate with the Stone Scripture.

When Lin Feng started operating the Wordless True Scripture, the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Dao showed a surprised expression, and the powerful attack he had launched instantly dissipated.

"What incredible means, an imprint left countless millennia ago, still possessing spiritual intelligence."

Lin Feng was extremely shocked inside.

"Descendant of the Heavenly Master Dao!" the ethereal shadow said.

"Junior Lin Feng! Greetings to the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Dao!" Lin Feng cupped his fists.

"Good! The Heavenly Master Dao still has descendants," the man nodded in satisfaction and then vanished.

Lin Feng stood still in contemplation, "Which generation of the Heavenly Master Dao’s ancestor was this?"

Obviously, Lin Feng couldn’t get an answer.

He quickly refocused his mind and then stepped onto the Eight Diagrams Platform.

"Why did this ancestor construct such an Eight Diagrams Platform in the past?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but ponder.

But then he said, "I can’t concern myself with that now, no matter the reason, I just want to quickly escape from here."

He squatted on the Eight Diagrams Platform, studying the arrangement method of the Eight Diagrams.

The arrangement methods for the Eight Diagrams were numerous, ever-changing.

Only by finding the correct method could he decipher it.

Random deciphering would lead to destruction by the Eight Diagrams.

Qian solid, Kun six breaks;

Zhen overlapped, Gen overturned bowl;

Li center void, Kan center full;

Dui upper lack, Xun lower break.

Lin Feng recited the general principles of the Eight Diagrams array formation.

Carefully studying the structure of each array pattern.

Qian and Dui are first and belong to metal, next Li belongs to fire. Further, Zhen and Xun belong to wood, followed by Kan belonging to water. Finally, Gen and Kun belong to earth.

Metal takes the sky’s strength, earth takes the earth’s softness, fire adheres to the sky, water clings to the earth, and Wei presents the life force in between.

Looking at the construction of the Eight Diagrams, Lin Feng couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Ordinary people naturally wouldn’t understand the meaning of these words; this was an array formation skill Lin Feng deduced through the Heavenly Master Dao legacy.

Lin Feng studied for three days and three nights before he fully comprehended all the formation methods of the Eight Diagrams.

He took out eight Source Crystal Stones and placed them at the eight positions of the Eight Diagrams.

These eight positions were: an inch east of west, two point five inches left of south, thirteen inches right of west, three point three inches east of north, two point seven inches at the edge of the southeast corner, at the intersection of the northwest line and the Qian Trigram line, at the intersection of the southwest line and the Kun Trigram line, and at the center of the southeast-northwest-southwest-northeast corner.

After placing the eight Source Crystal Stones, a miraculous scene occurred; the Eight Diagrams began actively absorbing the energy of the Source Crystal Stones.

Lin Feng quickly ran into the distance, then hid behind a giant stone, camouflaging himself, cautiously observing the changes in the Eight Diagrams.

If an unexpected situation arose, he would completely hide his presence.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Suddenly, the divination symbols at the eight positions of the Eight Diagrams—Qian, Kun, Gen, Kan, Zhen, Xun, Li, Dui—all seemed to come alive.

The sound of cracking spread, and then the Eight Diagrams began to contract on both sides.

A massive black hole appeared.

"The Eight Diagrams shrank to both sides, forming a black hole—how peculiar. Where does this black hole lead?" Lin Feng murmured.

He did not reveal himself, still hiding, secretly observing.

Woosh woosh woosh...

Subsequently,

infinite black mist emanated from the black hole.

In the black mist, eerie laughter echoed.

One after another, silhouettes rushed out of the black hole.

A total of five figures emerged.

Those figures hovered in mid-air.

"We’ve escaped, we’ve escaped..."

"We’ve finally emerged from the Forbidden God Realm..."

"The Ninth Layer Forbidden Divine Realm, trapped in the most dangerous and terrifying Ninth Layer for forty-seven million years—such a lengthy period, I thought we’d never come out alive."

"For how many years, no one could escape from the Ninth Layer Forbidden Divine Realm, yet we did escape, so fortunate to have found this loophole."

"It must be heaven’s favor upon us!"

"Pity our four brothers who perished! They died tragically one after another in the Ninth Layer Forbidden Divine Realm to protect us. Now, though we’ve luckily escaped the Ninth Layer, our nine brothers will never see the world outside again."

"We must live well, not just for ourselves, but for our four fallen brothers as well."

That being which surged out from the black hole roared loudly, both excited and sorrowful.

They were thrilled to see the light of day again.

Grieved by their brothers’ tragic deaths.

"Ninth Layer Forbidden Divine Realm? So the Eight Diagrams connects to the legendary Forbidden God Realm?"

Lin Feng was astounded.

The Merfolk Clan had once been trapped in the Forbidden God Realm.

However, the Merfolk Clan was likely only trapped in the First Layer Forbidden God Realm.

The First Layer Forbidden God Realm obviously could not compare to the Ninth Layer.

And the five beings before him were creatures trapped in the Ninth Layer Forbidden Divine Realm; it’s unimaginable how terrifying they are.

"Who sent me the message? It shouldn’t be these five guys!" Lin Feng speculated.

He refocused his mind; now wasn’t the time to think about this. His eyes were fixed on the being in the black mist.

Those five beings were now so emaciated, like skin and bones.

Lin Feng suspected that a gust of wind could blow them away.

The five beings hadn’t taken human form but remained in their fierce beast forms.

These five fierce beasts had dragon bodies and panther heads, with menacing fangs, and flames burned in their eyes.

Waves of intense evil energy emanated from their bodies.

"Sons of the True Dragon Emperor! Holy Beast Vengeance!"

Upon getting a clear look at the five fierce beasts, Lin Feng’s face changed drastically.

They turned out to be these legendary terrifying creatures.
