Chapter 1258 Reaching Ascension Peak
Neil gazed at the live footage in front of him with a slight headache.
He performed a hand seal and channeled streams of spiritual energy into the massive arcane array beneath his feet.
Subsequently, dazzling columns of light rose in the colossal arena.
Those light pillars were used to isolate certain areas of the arena.
The formation of tens of such light pillars sealed off close to half of the arena, completely trapping all those hidden-wing insects within them.
Neil was concerned that he might miss out on some of the insects, so the area he sealed off was significantly more extensive than the parts where the hidden-wing insects were found.
As a result, many cultivators were also trapped within the columns of light.
Those cultivators bumped into the invisible barrier and started pounding at them madly, desperate to escape.
However, there was no way the formation in the arena could be broken so easily by those cultivators.
The hidden-wing insects rushed over in a black swarm, resulting in the deaths of many people.
Those corpses would then serve as new breeding grounds, hatching more hidden-wing insects, adding more numbers to the colony.
The hidden-wing insects landed on the invisible barriers and incredulously started gnawing at them.
Neil couldn’t help but sigh, staring at the countless small hidden-wing insects on the screens.
"Fortunately, these things can’t escape Mount Boisvista.
Otherwise, not to mention the one hundred and eight villages, even Yannopolis will be wiped out by these insects."
He performed different hand seals and stomped forcefully on the formation beneath his feet.
Spiritual energy circulated within the formation before spiraling down into one corner.
Within the area, towering flames erupted in those areas sealed off by the barriers.
Jonathan turned to gaze behind him.
The group of hidden-wing insects pursuing them was the largest and covered the greatest expanse.
Hence, the isolation arcane array formed in the arena encompassed three small hills behind them.
Over a hundred cultivators trapped within the barriers were also sacrificed in the process.
The billowing blaze burned from the foot of the mountain all the way to the transparent formation dome atop the arena, turning everything within the isolation formation into ashes.
They could still feel the scorching temperature even as they stood several hundred meters away.
"Phew…"
Hayden breathed a long sigh of relief.
"All those insects and people chasing after us are dead now.
We can finally take a break."
"Like h*ll we can!"
Stellario snorted at Hayden.
"Look behind us.
There are still dozens of people in pursuit.
If you slow down even a little, those people will catch up and kill you."
Stellario and Hayden had no direct connection between them, but due to their special statuses, Stellario would help the Osborne family get rid of Hayden if they were to run into each other in the outside world.
That was the rule agreed upon among the eight respectable families.
Once any member of their affiliated families turned against them, they would be hunted down by all eight respectable families.
Only such a united threat could deter those subsidiary families, rendering them obedient like trained dogs.
In fact, the eight respectable families did regard their subsidiary families as mere lowly beings.
Even though Jonathan was the only God Realm cultivator in Asura’s Office previously, and the eight respectable families could’ve effortlessly wiped out Asura’s Office, both parties never crossed paths.
Moreover, Asura’s Office possessed weapons that posed a direct threat to the eight respectable families.
Another factor the eight respectable families didn’t try to harm Asura’s Office was because of Jonathan’s charisma.
Putting aside their differences, Jonathan’s capability to manage Asura’s Office brilliantly within three years, turning it into a significant military power with influence encompassing the entire nation alone, deserved the eight respectable families’ respect.
