Qi Tian jumped out of the pit, scanning his surroundings, hoping to find a way to escape from the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array. His time was running out and he needed to act quickly.

Qi Tian noticed that after the initial panic, several cultivators launched into the sky, attempting to attack the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect who were appearing and disappearing among the clouds. The situation was intense, and the Six Demons firmly held their ground, making escape via their route incredibly difficult. Even if some managed it, it would be very few.

Qi Tian suddenly fixated on the various pillars of fire, shooting skyward. He didn’t understand the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array deeply, nor the purpose of these burning columns, but they were essentially columns of fire energy. If he could absorb all this fire energy, might he blast a hole through the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array?

Qi Tian hurried over to the nearest pillar of fire, located where the battleground formerly was. When it erupted suddenly, it charged into the crowd, incinerating many on the spot.

Now, there was hardly anyone left. Qi Tian released his Transporting Whirlwind, directing it towards the pillar of fire. He didn’t dare to consume the entire pillar at once, instead carefully slicing off a small piece to feed to the Heavenly Dao Engine.

The Heavenly Dao Engine sent back a wave of satisfaction. It was pleased with the energy contained within the pillar of fire.

Qi Tian was overjoyed. The Heavenly Dao Engine hadn’t let him down, consuming the flames that could incinerate a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage as if it was a snack to fuel it.

Seeing this, Qi Tian no longer held back. He released all the Transporting Whirlwinds towards the pillar of fire. With the enhanced power and quantity of the Transporting Whirlwinds, he managed to quickly consume the towering fire pillar, along with the scattered remains of cultivators around it. Everything was devoured by the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian was thrilled to discover a gaping hole where the column once stood. Through this hole, he could see the ground level of the basin. Standing over the gaping hole, Qitian used his Red Hoop Stick to drill into the ground, making a hole several meters deep. The Wanhun Condensed Pill Array didn’t create any barriers, blocking him from jumping into the hole like before.

Qi Tian was elated, realizing the pillars of fire indeed were the weak spots of the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array. Probably, the Great Master who designed the Array did not anticipate someone capable of completely devouring a fire pillar, leaving not even a trace of sparks behind, which was how Qi Tian found his escape route.

Qi Tian stared ardently at the thousand pillars of fire on Wanhun Condensed Pill Array. They were all abundantly filled with energy. Moreover, when each pillar erupted, it obliterated cultivators, making their corpses and storage bags quite valuable. It was a rare opportunity and it would be a shame not to seize it.

Qi Tian looked at the Six Demons of the Soul Snatching Sect up in the sky. They were either fighting with the cultivators or controlling the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array, leaving no attention for him.

This was an opportunity.

Qi Tian’s eyes locked onto the pillars of fire on the battleground around him, which was located in the commercial district of the basin, the most prosperous area. The casualties here were the highest when the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array was activated, with almost two to three hundred cultivator deaths.

Qi Tian rushed towards another fire pillar, releasing the Transporting Whirlwind. All of the fire pillars, along with the corpses, were either devoured by the Heavenly Dao Engine or temporarily stored in Qi Tian’s Storage Bag within a minute.

He then proceeded to consume the third, fourth, and fifth fire pillars…

After clearing five fire pillars, Qi Tian knew when to stop. He slipped into the hole he had created on the ground with his Red Hoop Stick, then quickly pulled out the Spirit Saber originally belonging to Li Hongcai and began digging into the ground.

Qi Tian didn’t know the extent of damage he had caused to the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array by destroying five fire pillars. Normally, the Six Demons of the Soul Snatching Sect controlled the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array easily, but after the first fire pillar was destroyed, they felt something was off. By the time all fire pillars were destroyed, controlling the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array left them feeling as though they were carrying a massive rock, making it heavy and unmanageable.

“Big brother, something’s off. It seems like someone has damaged our Wanhun Condensed Pill Array,” cried the sixth of the Six Demons.

“Damn, look over there. We seem to be missing several fire pillars. Damn, our Wanhun Condensed Pill Array has truly been sabotaged.”

…

Not just the Six Demons, but also the trapped cultivators took note of the changes in the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array. One of them shouted, “All fellow cultivators, we are blessed. The Six Demons’ Wanhun Condensed Pill Array has been breached, thinking they can still trap us all is a delusion. Let us move forward, unite and kill the Six Demons of the Soul Snatching Sect. Let’s avenge our fallen comrades.”
