"These... these stones can actually fly?" The old guy from Ding Sect was also incredibly surprised as he spoke.

"What kind of formation is this? Are all the stones spiritual beings?" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family asked equally shocked.

"The legacy of the Taishi family is indeed powerful and unfathomable, leaving such a formation, unprecedented!" The old man with the pipe couldn't help but exclaim.

"This should be an ancient method left from times past, unusually powerful, not needing a treasure as the center to drive the formation. Each stone seems to be spiritual and can act as the center to drive this Chaotic World Array, truly impressive!" Wudao Saint Child also couldn't help but praise.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen noticed the veiled woman looking at the stones that floated high above, a trace of contemplation appeared in her eyes, as if reminiscing and recalling something. She involuntarily murmured, "The legacy of the Taishi family preserved until now, shows how back then, these strong figures of the Taishi family exhausted their efforts, all wanting the legacy to continue, all wanting to leave a glimmer of hope for the future revival of the Taishi family!"

"The powerful figures of the Taishi family indeed deserve admiration, I really wonder what kind of power, what kind of person, could destroy a family so strong..." Ye Tianchen also frowned as he spoke.

"Sooner or later, we'll find out, sooner or later the Taishi family will take revenge!" The veiled woman's eyes were cold as she spoke.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the veiled woman, feeling that the closer they got to the Big Stone Tablet, the more agitated the woman's emotions became. Could she have some connection with the Taishi family?

"Everyone, strike together, destroy these stones, that way we can break this Chaotic Stone Formation!" The old man with the pipe shouted loudly.

Bang!

Crash!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen and five others charged towards the stones hovering in the air, their palm winds strong, their punches powerful, launching one attack after another towards these stones. Little did they know, as they unleashed the Power of Slaughter, aiming at these stones, the stones suddenly vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace, leaving people in awe, not knowing where they went!

Suddenly, all the stones floating in mid-air disappeared completely, leaving people shocked, because even their Divine Thoughts could not detect the locations of these spirited stones anymore. Could they really just vanish like this?

Buzz!

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the Void, a punch aimed directly at Wudao Saint Child, fiercely striking, the force wishing to smash Wudao Saint Child's head open. But Wudao Saint Child's reaction was quick enough, turning around and fiercely punching back.

Thud!

A muffled sound, Wudao Saint Child and the figure that suddenly attacked him collided fists, emitting a powerful sound, like two iron fists crashing together, shocking the old guy from Ding Sect, who quickly retreated a bit as he was the most injured. If he were to suffer more serious injuries, he feared he couldn't leave here alive.

Ye Tianchen was also taken aback, such strong punch power, Wudao Saint Child's cultivation realm was extremely high, and his reflexes were very fast, one punch could destroy a mountain. However, one punch out and it tangibly matched the opponent, how strong is the enemy's power? Could it also be a strong figure with a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm?

"Come out, don't hide!" Wudao Saint Child shouted while extending a powerful hand, reaching towards the Void. Yet the figure in the Void quickly dodged, landing on the ground all of a sudden, standing in front of Wudao Saint Child, surprising him.

"This is... a Stone Man?" The old man with the pipe had always been calm, but upon seeing the creature standing before Wudao Saint Child, he couldn't help but express surprise.

No one expected that the creature suddenly charging out from the void to assassinate the Wudao Saint Child was a Stone Man. This Stone Man wasn't particularly towering or impressive, yet it exuded an aura of ancient times all over, like a creature sealed away since antiquity, looking coldly at the Wudao Saint Child, with its entire body emanating killing intent.

"It's truly a Stone Man. There are legends that even in ancient times, there were instances of Stone Men successfully cultivating, with some even advancing to become Stone-man Emperors, who truly shook the Heavenly Vault. Stone Men are naturally nourished by the essence energy of the Martial Arts World, and once they break open their stone bodies and take on a humanoid form, they become incredibly powerful. The Stone Clan is particularly renowned for the toughness of their physical strength. A Stone Man of the same cultivation realm has a physical strength far exceeding that of their opponents. Although this Stone Man's cultivation doesn't surpass the Wudao Saint Child, they can fight him head-on. This underscores the innate physical prowess of the Stone Clan," said a veiled woman, frowning.

In fact, the Stone Clan is merely a variation of the Ancient Alien Race, but their cultivation is somewhat different. Before they have cultivated into humanoid forms and shed their stone shells, they stand nearly immobile, existing in one spot for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, absorbing heaven and earth's spiritual energy for cultivation. Before shedding their stone shell, they may not be that powerful. However, once they do shed their stone shell, even just revealing a head, they possess a shocking power. There was once a mighty figure of the Stone Clan who proclaimed himself Emperor, turning the Martial Arts World into rivers of blood. This clan carries an exceptionally heavy Slaughter Aura, distinguished by their belligerence and penchant for slaughter. Yet, because of this, the cultivation of the Stone Clan is tremendously challenging. To completely shed the stone shell and transform into a humanoid form requires often tens of thousands of years and extraordinary talent. Throughout history, the recorded member of the Stone Clan is that one Emperor-level stone being. However, the Stone Clan has left a formidable reputation across the entire Martial Arts World, especially known for their unparalleled physical strength.

"Such a powerful Stone Man, showing no signs of being able to transform into a humanoid form, yet can go toe-to-toe with the Wudao Saint Child in a punch. If they really develop their cultivation successfully, the Stone Clan would be excessively powerful!" said the elderly man with a pipe, frowning.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

The Wudao Saint Child and the Stone Man who emerged from the void engaged in a fierce battle, truly fighting evenly matched. Ye Tianchen frowned, realizing that the Wudao Saint Child wasn't using any Martial Arts Divine Skill, nor was there much Martial Arts True Qi emanating outward. Suddenly, he exclaimed as if realizing something, "I understand now. This Stone Man's cultivation realm isn't high, but they can fight fiercely with the Wudao Saint Child because the Martial Arts True Qi within all of us has been suppressed. The power that can be exerted primarily consists of physical body power!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen's words, the elderly man with a pipe and the others were startled and quickly used Divine Thought for inner vision, discovering that it was exactly as Ye Tianchen said: their Martial Arts True Qi had been suppressed at some point. In this special environment, it's been suppressed, and forcing the Martial Arts True Qi out to perform Martial Arts Divine Skill might lead to the rupture of the body's meridians and death, with even Divine Thought affected.

"I understand now, it was the power of thunder and lightning just now that suppressed the Martial Arts True Qi within us. This is a special environment, amidst these chaotic stones, we can probably only use the power of the physical body. It seems that the person from the Taishi family who refined this formation had anticipated these matters long before. Reaching the huge stone tablet isn't that easy!" said the veiled woman, calmly.

No one expected that after arriving here, not only because of the Thunder Grid above, they'd be unable to use the Qi Manipulation Flying Skill, but unknowingly, their Martial Arts True Qi couldn't be used as they wished. Especially since without Martial Arts True Qi, they couldn't activate their treasures, meaning the only way to defeat the Stone Man was with physical body power alone, pure physical body power. However, the Stone Clan is always known for their formidable physique, which is their strength in contrast to the Martial Artist's weakness. How many could solely rely on physical body power to slay these Stone Men?

Undeniably, the Wudao Saint Child is indeed strong, managing to suppress the Stone Man before him even with mere physical body power, astonishing the old fellow from the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family to admire him greatly. Especially the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family who felt a desire to draw him in, saying to the Wudao Saint Child: "Let me help you!"

"Humph, you want to draw him in, but you should take care of yourself first!" sneered the elderly man with a pipe, looking at the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family with disdain.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that, you..."

Bam!

Before the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family could finish speaking, he was punched and sent flying, landing heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouth of blood and teeth. As soon as he got up from the ground, before he could curse, another Stone Man charged at him.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

At the same time, four more Stone Men walked out from the void, all emanating immensely powerful aura, with no usage of Martial Arts True Qi, just sheer physical body power, attacking with a strike aimed at Ye Tianchen and the others.

With six powerful Stone Men emerging, Ye Tianchen and his five companions each encountered one Stone Man, leading to everyone facing off against a Stone Man. In a short time, they indeed couldn't handle these Stone Men effectively, particularly the old fellow from the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family who were already gravely injured and unable to utilize Martial Arts True Qi. Facing these Stone Men became increasingly difficult, forcing them to continuously dodge, sporadically counterattacking, leading to a state of extreme despondency and disgrace, with none of their previous arrogance or domineering aura left!
