Chapter 2070: Sneaking Past the Guard, Crisis Remains!
Chapter 2070: Chapter 2070: Sneaking Past the Guard, Crisis Remains!
A dim chamber, air tinged with dark red.
On the altar, the heart beats like a thunderstorm.
When Netherworld King’s Tri-element Purifying Sword strikes the heart, a crack appears.
This scene shocks everyone present.
Clearly, Netherworld King, Hong Ying, Xu Yeming, and Ning Chenxin are the ones with the lowest realms.
Yet, in this assault, each of them plays a critical role, showing a value that others cannot match!
In a one-on-one duel, relying on realm might suppress the opponent.
But in a team assault, combat awareness and experience become incredibly crucial.
After all, Netherworld King and his companions have survived numerous life-and-death battles, emerging from piles of corpses.
Ba Xiyue notices the small crack, her eyes shine with excitement.
She steps forward, grips a long spear with both hands, takes a step, and thrusts it towards the crack as she shouts, "Focus all attacks on the crack!"
No need for Ba Xiyue to remind them.
The others are already converging their attacks.
Aside from Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Xu Yeming suppressing those vengeful souls, Chu Ran gathers a red aura flow in his hand.
This red aura is like a flame, surging fiercely with the wind!
Enveloping Chu Ran completely!
The Chu Family, as one of Fuyao Realm’s ancient families, possesses profound heritage with two cultivation techniques capable of anchoring the clan.
One of which is the technique Chu Ran is currently exhibiting.
Heavenly Reverse Burning Flame!
Despite Chu Ran’s current temperament being quite vicious, before being reprimanded by Han Shouyi... his talent was not inferior to anyone here, deemed as the most promising to cultivate the Heavenly Reverse Burning Flame to its peak in millennia.
Chu Ran roars fiercely, even his breath spews scorching flames!
He punches towards the heart’s crack across the air!
No imagined mightiness appears, just a fire ray compressed to its limit!
Remember, few can compress the explosive Power of Law from flames to such a degree!
Elsewhere, Yang Shao places his palms together.
When his hands slightly part, a purple sphere appears out of thin air.
Drifting towards the heart’s crack!
Heavenly Seal Sect Leader launches a punch forward!
Qin Zhao, breaking free from the grasp of several blood hands, swings his sword horizontally.
Zheng——!!!
A sword cry, sharp as a phoenix’s scream!
This sword cry seemingly transforms into sound waves, unbelievably sharp sound waves fused with Endless Sword Intent, slicing towards the crack!
And Netherworld King—he closes his eyes.
Upon reopening them, galaxies swirl within his gaze.
Slowly, he extends the Green Cloud Sword.
If anyone were paying attention, they would notice two colors, black and white, surrounding the sword’s body!
This sword moves slowly, so slow everyone can see the trajectory of its tip.
Oddly, the eight frantically waving blood hands appear restrained by an invisible force, their movements slowing and stiffening!
As the others’ attacks hit the heart’s crack.
The sword tip finally touches the heart’s crack.
Netherworld King shows a calm expression, speaks lightly, and slowly utters a few words,
"Primordial Sword Scripture, Eighth Move..."
"Yin and Yang, Heavenly Opening!"
There’s no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling brilliance.
Just a faint, glass-like shattering sound.
On the surface of the dark red heart, centering on the sword tip, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread throughout the heart!
Next moment—
Boom!!!
The heart explodes violently!
Dark red blood mist pours like a torrential downpour!
However, the few hardly have time to catch their breath when sudden change occurs!
The shattered heart doesn’t dissipate but transforms into countless floating blood droplets.
Each blood droplet writhes and expands wildly, soon morphing into hundreds of fist-sized blood-colored bats, emitting sharp screeches, and swooping madly towards them!
The vengeful spirits don’t disappear either, but instead erupt more forceful blood-red resentment!
Momentarily, reversing the suppression of Hong Ying’s emperor’s intent, Xu Yeming’s summoned Four Beasts, and Ning Chenxin’s righteousness!
Worse still, the twelve skeletal puppets surrounding the altar emit piercing howls simultaneously, their aura surging once more!
The Blood Prison Soul Refining Array isn’t breaking but rather its evil aura surging several times over!
The ground, walls, and ceiling of the Ancestor Hall, all blood patterns illuminate with dazzling red light, a devour power far exceeding prior bursts forth!
"Not good!" Not far away, a gray-robed elder’s face changes decisively, "The heart was a trap! Once broken, the formation enters the second stage!"
Almost simultaneously, Han Shouyi’s pressure surges.
Five skeletons break free from the sword imprint suppression, their eye sockets’ red flames become material blood fires, attacking fiercely several times over!
Han Shouyi merely raises an eyebrow, opens his right hand’s fingers, lightly grasps at the void—
"Heavenly Master Dao·Five Thunders Extinguish Evil."
Crack!
Five cyan thunders burst from his palm, striking precisely at the top of five skeletons!
Amidst the cracking lightning, the skeleton’s movements become stiff again, their bones surface with scorched black cracks!
"We can’t drag this out, it’s a trap."
Han Shouyi frowns, his left hand forms a sword with his fingers, pointing five times in the air.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Five skeletons’ foreheads are pierced simultaneously, the red flames in their eyes extinguish in an instant, collapsing to the ground.
It’s not just Han Shouyi.
Everyone present realizes this point.
The opponents deliberately keep them here!
And why detain them here?
The answer is clear.
The thing they least wanted has eventually occurred.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain, sneaking in unseen!
Jiang Yi, the gray-robed elder, Mystic Armor General, and Lu Mingyuan realizing this, no longer held back, and fully unleashed their strongest cultivation techniques to annihilate the remaining skeletons completely.
Han Shouyi takes a step forward, forms a seal with both hands, and utters a light shout.
A huge cyan Dharma Seal lands on the shattered heart madly exuding resentment!
"Heavenly Master Dao, Five Thunders Seal!"
Boom——!!
The massive cyan lightning condenses into a Dharma Seal, imprinting upon the heart!
The broken heart finally ceases beating.
Vengeful spirits dissipate.
Yet the dark red evil aura resentment in the air still persists.
Ning Chenxin and Lu Mingyuan simultaneously release righteousness, only then dispersing the resentment here.
But everyone’s expressions remain extremely grave.
The crisis isn’t over.
Because above the altar, those blood bats have formed a blood cloud, at its center, a hazy dark red figure slowly coagulating.
The formation isn’t broken, instead calling forth something even more terrifying.
Outside the Ancestor Hall, the blood curtain grows thicker, the Heavenly Seal Sect disciples’ screams faintly heard.
The Heavenly Seal Sect Leader’s face drastically changes, rushing out of the Ancestor Hall first.
The others follow closely.
Obviously outside has transformed into a blood-red purgatory...
The heart’s shattering.
The dark red silhouette above the formation...
Is absorbing the blood essence and soul of every living being within the formation at a rapid rate!
Including them indeed!
If the formation can’t be broken,
Even Han Shouyi will likely become a dried corpse!
