Aurora Pierces the Eyes

"Damn you little bald monk, do you think you can block our way with this trick? Keep dreaming! Eat my 'Ferocious Spirit Three Extremes Annihilation'!"

The Ghost Chariot, with its three faces and six arms, simultaneously gathered its energy, merging the forces of flames, lightning, and gale-force winds into one. Its terrifying evil power reached the heavens, instantly causing widespread horror and the wailing of evil spirits. Three-colored torrents of evil energy surged forth, etching their essence into the soul and corroding the bones, utterly destroying one's spirit and mind.

Xilai did not dodge. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and chanted scriptures, letting his opponent's ultimate move hit the Sumeru Qi Wall. Immediately afterward, the Qi exploded, the earth shook, his body swayed, the wound on his chest burst open, and blood splattered out, but the Sumeru Qi Wall was not damaged and still stood in place.

"I'd like to see just how much blood you have left to bleed," Ghost Chariot roared, turning his head. "What are you all standing there for, you piece of trash? Get to work! Use every trick in the book! If they're willing to be our free target, we can't be polite. If we can't break through like this, we might as well all jump into the river and commit suicide!"

Upon hearing this, the monsters unleashed their ultimate techniques, a flurry of energy flashing as their attacks rained down like a storm, a devastating torrent. Some of the brute-force Monster Race even charged straight at their companions, only to be caught in the crossfire and engulfed in the explosions. The sounds of the collisions were like pearls falling onto a jade plate, continuous and resounding.

The attacks from ordinary Monster Race were insignificant to Xilai, unable to even create a ripple on the Sumeru Qi Wall. However, even ants can kill an elephant if they are numerous. Under such a dense attack, the Sumeru Qi Wall shook continuously and was on the verge of collapse. Xilai was also affected by the force, his Cultivation Body was shaken, and blood flowed continuously from his wounds, staining his lower body red. A pool of blood even accumulated at his feet.

The disciples of Glazed Temple looked at each other, puzzled. They didn't understand why Xilai was doing this. It was one thing to forbid the Monster Race attacking, but why to stop them from fighting back?

But upon seeing this scene, some people, unable to bear the sight, put down their fighting spirit, clasped their hands together, and while chanting scriptures, channeled their True Qi into the Sumeru Qi Wall.

With one person taking the lead, the other monks followed suit, transmitting their True Qi. The Sumeru Qi Wall gradually stabilized, remaining standing despite the Monster Race' attacks, like a wall of sighs.

Xilai's injuries continued to worsen, and his physical body gradually collapsed. Fortunately, all his cultivation was in his soul and was not affected. Even though half of his blood had been lost, which would have caused a normal person to fall into a coma and die, he still recited the scriptures in a calm and unhurried tone.

This was clearly a move to kill oneself for a cause, Henzhen said, "Enough, that's enough! Stop it!"

Xilai, however, paid no heed and continued to maintain the Sumeru Qi Wall, enduring the attacks of the monsters.

Henzhen hurriedly ordered his men, "All of you, stop!"

Unfortunately, the Monster Race had already become obsessed and wouldn't listen to any orders to cease fire. Apart from a few who stopped, most of them were blinded by rage and continued their relentless attacks.

Henzhen Ghost Chariot was fighting with the most fervor, Hen Zhen immediately struck him with a palm strike from a distance, causing him to vomit blood and fly away.

The man yelled, "You Divine General Li you a lesson you won't forget..."

The old man quickly advised, "Forget it, forget it. A good man doesn't argue with a woman. There's no need to stoop to her level."

The aloof woman said, "We're no match for her. We've fought her several times before, and we've always lost. If you want to get beaten up, don't drag me into it."

The Ghost Chariot had no choice but to give up in frustration.

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out from the Glazed Temple, like a morning bell or evening drum, echoing in the hearts of the monsters, immediately calming their emotions, extinguishing their murderous intent, and causing them to stop what they were doing.

"Hehehe, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If you want to learn from Buddha and cut off your own flesh to feed the eagle, I'll grant your wish."

In the darkness, Wu Da was about to release the poison when a force suddenly rushed towards him, forcing him to turn around and defend himself. He was so shaken that he staggered and almost fell.

He stared in shock and rage at the Evil Master Zhangming had appeared before him. "It's you, Yi Divine General! It seems you've harbored rebellious intentions all along, colluding with the Pan E and leaving yourself a way out. What are you planning to do?"

Chapter 399 Aurora Pierces the Eyes

The Great Snake shed its disguise Evil Master Zhangming, revealing its true form. Looking up at the distant sky, it said, "I want to do nothing, and I hope you will do nothing as well. Just wait quietly for the final outcome."

Wu Da followed the Great Snake's gaze and saw the striking Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation of the Wise Calamity. One by one, the Buddha images stood solemnly, and even from a distance, one could feel the powerful energy of this formation, which was even greater than the Twin Buddha Formation encountered in the Fake Seven Stars Palace.

Suddenly, a powerful shockwave emanated from within the formation, causing the earth to tremble violently. The entire Glazed Temple shook violently, with buildings collapsing and the ground cracking. A mushroom cloud even appeared above the formation, slowly rising into the air.

Everyone was shocked and felt a lingering fear. If the array were no longer restrained, the Glazed Temple would probably be wiped off the map. Moreover, after the explosion, the light of the entire Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation dimmed considerably, and ninety percent of the Buddha images disappeared. The aura of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, which had been suppressed by the array, emanated from it, overwhelming the heavens and earth, stirring up the wind and clouds, and causing lightning to flash.

Many monks had only heard of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King's great name, knowing that he was the leader of the Monster Race and an enemy that had to be eliminated, but they had never truly faced him. Now, personally experiencing his aura, they immediately understood the gap between them. In the face of this power, they were truly as insignificant as ants, powerless to resist, and they couldn't help but change color.

Wu Da chuckled twice and said to the Great Snake, "See? This is the true power of the Spirit King. You should know very well that once he gets serious, the Glazed Temple has no chance of winning. Are you still going to insist on stopping me?"

The Great Snake said in a low voice, "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. The fact that such a commotion has been caused proves that the Spirit King is in an unprecedented crisis. In the past, when the Spirit King was killed by the Ten Buddhas Nirvana Formation of the Glazed Temple, he did not use this method. This shows that the situation he is facing now is even more dangerous than that time. Perhaps he is in danger of perishing, which is why he has no choice but to reveal his last trump card."

Wu Da said, "You can still say such things now that you can sense the Spirit King's aura? I don't believe there is Human Race in the world who can defeat the Spirit King."

The Great Snake said, "Nothing in this world is absolute. The victor is not necessarily the stronger one, and there is no absolute victory or defeat in battle. Unexpected variables will always occur... If the Spirit King survives, the Glazed Temple will undoubtedly lose this battle and will no longer have the courage to resist. You can gain a victory for free. On the contrary, if the Spirit King is defeated and killed, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. In that case, why fight to the death? Wouldn't it be better to just wait for the result?"

Wu Da knew that the other party was being sophistical. Perhaps with his help, the Spirit King could turn the tide and escape death, but making such a assumption was meaningless. He knew that the Great Snake's strength was unfathomable and that it was firmly ranked first among the Five Divine Generals. If the other party intended to obstruct him, he would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

Wu Da wasn't exactly a hard-working person; he'd already shown signs of slacking off during the fake Seven Stars Palace incident. Naturally, he wouldn't choose to fight desperately now. After a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea of fighting. "Fine, I'll listen to you this once, but you're not allowed to leave."

The Great Snake sneered, knowing that Wu Da was giving him an excuse. If the Spirit King ultimately won, he could claim that he was entangled by the Yi Divine General and could not escape, so he was powerless to do so.

"Old fox."

"Tit for tat; though the old fox is cunning, he is not as venomous as the snake."

Within the Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation, the battle has reached its climax.

"Thousand Crags Sword Wall!"

Si Ming thrust his sword into the ground, drawing upon the earth's energy, which transformed into a thousand Sword Qi that burst forth from the soil, forming a wall to intercept the dozens of Depleting Divine Light emitted from the Monster Spirit King.

The monstrous Purple-Pupiled Spirit King no longer possessed just one evil eye between his brows, but rather it was spread all over his body, so numerous that it could trigger trypophobia in anyone. Fortunately, he couldn't control the light to bend, and could only fire Depleting Divine Light from the evil eyes facing Si Ming; otherwise, the number would have been ten times greater.

The Depleting Divine Light struck Sword Qi, immediately causing it to crumble and collapse. It could corrode flesh and blood, and had the same effect on energy. Fortunately, the effect of the divine light was one-time; it would dissipate upon hitting something and would not continue to advance after breaking through something. Therefore, although the Sword Qi summoned by Si Ming was far weaker than its opponent, it was still able to block the Depleting Divine Light completely by exchanging one for one.

"Louguan Ten Thousand Swords!"

Instead of unleashing a new move, Si Ming changed the way his Sword Qi flowed, switching from defense to offense, and controlled all his Sword Qi to attack the Monster Spirit King, but it was blocked at a distance of three feet.

The Monster Spirit King's body was shrouded in an invisible aura. Although it was just ordinary True Qi, given his Foundation, it was not hard to imagine how sturdy this aura was. The Sword Qi was completely blocked, making a clanging sound, like raindrops hitting glass.

"Space-Shuttling Slash!"

Si Jingyu rubbed his hands together and made a sweeping motion in the air. A hideous crack immediately appeared on the surface of the Monster Spirit King's body, and blood splattered everywhere. His protective aura had no effect whatsoever.

Ignoring distance and defense, directly striking the enemy with force—this ultimate technique from the "Scroll of Space" demands extremely high skill, something Hongdou could never master. But now, with the help of the experienced Si Jingyu, it's effortless and casually executed. However, the actual effect is minimal because the opponent's body is too enormous.
