Chapter 512

Without the suppression of the Buddhist array, the power of the Depleting Divine Light could be fully unleashed; otherwise, it would have canceled each other out when it hit the first ice wall.

A woman dressed in a white mink coat slowly stepped in. Her appearance was stunning. The light shone on her face, making her skin appear crystal clear and soft as jade. She had an unreal, ethereal beauty, like an ice and snow fairy. She was none other than Ling Huanxi Murong Qing's master.

She extended her flawless white wrist, drew the Divine Spear of Ice and Snow, stood beside Yan Jinghong, and without uttering a word, the ground beneath her feet began to freeze, spreading in all directions, attempting to change the environment.

"Another expert I don't recognize."

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King discovered that his physical recovery speed had been greatly reduced under the influence of the cold air, which immediately sounded an alarm. He realized that the situation had changed beyond his control, and that a variable he was unaware of was playing a huge role in leading the battle to an unpredictable outcome.

The seven monks of Glazed Temple did not recognize Yan Jinghong and Ling Huanxi, but they were not blind. They could see that the two experts were on their side, which was undoubtedly a good thing, especially since they had discovered that the Spirit King's strength far exceeded their expectations.

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King stared at the Profound Armor on Yan Jinghong for a while, searching his memory for a similar item. He suddenly realized, "So that's it. You're not warriors from the Barbarian Continent, but powerful figures from the Sea Continent. No wonder I had no recollection of you. Did you travel all this way just to meddle in other people's business?"

Yan Jinghong said, "It's just a matter of reciprocity. Since you once attempted to invade Sea Continent, we naturally couldn't remain silent. We had to visit and warn you to prevent others from following suit and illegally entering the country."

At this moment, even excluding the Buddha-Slaying Monk, there were still five Grandmaster on the field. The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King pondered that although he still had a transformation trump card, active transformation and passive transformation were different. Active transformation could preserve the complete Cultivation Body, while passive transformation, although there was a chance to injure the opponent with self-destruction, would also leave his own Cultivation Body incomplete. And he happened to have an ultimate move that could only be used when he had preserved 80 Cultivation Body.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King made a decisive decision, brandishing his evil blade and saying, "An interesting variable, but to think that this will kill me is far too naive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to swell, growing fleshy tumors. His aura surged and was released outwards with all its might, without any restraint. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a monster covered in evil eyes.

Fazhao exclaimed in surprise, "There's actually such a change... How could this be? This has never been recorded in previous texts!"

Fayun showed despair. "His cultivation has increased by another 30%! That wasn't even his limit! Can we really defeat such a monster?"

Fajian said with a solemn expression, "Perhaps we should be glad that we launched the ambush in advance and forced him to use his trump card here. Otherwise, if we had continued to advance the Thousand Buddha Blood Sacrifice plan, we would have been facing such a monster alone. I really can't imagine who could have eliminated him under such circumstances... We misjudged the enemy's strength, and the plan to destroy the eyes has no chance of success."

Unlike the others, Xilai appeared quite optimistic. "Using this move only proves that we've cornered him. The most terrifying thing in the world is a fist that hasn't been thrown. Now that he's revealed all his cards, there's nothing to fear."

Faming chimed in, "That's right. At least now we can fight side by side, unlike in the 'Eye-Destroying Situation,' where all the danger and hope rested on one person."

"Is the chatter between these losers over? Then, prepare for death!"

The Monster Spirit King's eyes all widened, flashing with light. Xilai realized something was wrong and hurriedly said to the 108 warrior monks, "You must leave immediately!"

Too late!

Thousands of Depleting Divine Light shot out, filling every corner of the fake Seven Stars Palace. Anyone below the Grandmaster would be instantly reduced to blood and flesh upon being touched by even one ray. The seven injured monks were barely able to protect themselves and were powerless to help others.

Just as the Seven Stars Palace was about to become a graveyard, a Profound Ice Cannon suddenly appeared from afar, rushing in through the breached wall. Ling Huanxi immediately threw out her Divine Spear of Ice and Snow, hitting the Profound Ice Cannon. Instantly, a cold current erupted and spread out, freezing all the moisture in the air and turning the palace into a world of ice and snow.

All the Primal Qi was frozen and its activity was reduced. Even the Depleting Divine Light shot out by the Spirit King was affected and its speed dropped sharply. Both Human Race and Monster Race present were affected by the freezing energy, and their movements became sluggish.

Only Yan Jinghong, who was prepared in advance, activated the Profound Armor runes, releasing heat to envelop her body and remained unaffected. At the same time, she raised her sword, and the dazzling Sword-Ray was like a starry galaxy.

"Sword Reverses Heavenly Light!"

The sword emanated boundless Sword Qi, filling the surrounding space. This Sword Qi energy was not very lethal, but it had the effect of reflecting spiritual energy. Whenever it hit Depleting Divine Light, it would change its direction and cause it to reflect back towards the Monster Spirit King's body.

However, the Depleting Divine Light had no effect on the Spirit King himself. He neither dodged nor avoided it, taking all the reflections. Then, his energy surged, shattering the ice layer covering his body. Power of Anomalies flowed, forcing out the cold energy within his body.

"It seems you came prepared, but can you hold off the first wave, the second wave? What about the third and fourth waves?"

Without a moment's respite, the Monster Spirit King's body was enveloped in light, and it was about to unleash the second wave of the Thousand Depleting Divine Light.

Xilai and the others turned to look at Si Ming. They realized that only the Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation could stop the Monster Spirit King from continuing to emit the Depleting Divine Light. However, the Thousand Buddha Blood Sacrifice was still short of a few spots, so they all had the idea of sacrificing themselves to activate the Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation.

"No need to defend against the second wave, because you won't have a chance to launch! Tiger Wings Disperse the Clouds!"

A powerful figure rushed in, charging towards the Monster Spirit King. With a distant palm strike, a tiger's roar echoed as the powerful palm force stirred up the cold currents within the palace, sweeping towards the Monster Spirit King like a storm, freezing his body once again and causing the Evil Eye to pause firing.

However, only the eyes on the surface of the body were frozen. The Spirit King's main eye, which resembled an antenna, was unaffected. The eye at the top of the fleshy pillar glared, and a thick beam of light shot straight towards the newcomer.

The attacker neither dodged nor avoided the attack, allowing the Depleting Divine Light to strike him, yet he remained unharmed. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the Spirit King's side, closing in and unleashing a Shoryuken strike from below.

The Spirit King swung his arms, his claws carrying a black, evil current as he slashed at the enemy. With a metallic clang, the enemy was no match for the divine power and his defenses were forcibly broken through. A punch landed squarely on his lower body, and he was sent flying like a rocket, crashing through the ceiling of the Seven Stars Palace.

"You two rushed too fast. You know I'm not good at light-footed skills, were you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

The newcomer turned to look at Yan Jinghong and Ling Huanxi; it was Xiao Xuan.

His body surface had a metallic sheen, but it didn't feel hard or rigid. Instead, it was as soft as liquid, and to a certain extent, it could even deform. This was the advanced form of the Jade-Clad Dharma Body: the "Mercury Alloy Body".

Ling Huanxi said, "It would be great if my second sister were here too."

A hint of nostalgia flickered in Yan Jinghong's eyes, but she still shook her head. "Time cannot be turned back."

Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, "At least for now, we're standing shoulder to shoulder."

He looked up at the sky through the hole in the roof and said, "I've heard that the King of Monsters here is equivalent to our Void Returning Great Grandmaster. It seems his cultivation is sufficient, but his realm is still a bit lacking. He'll be a perfect test subject."

With a powerful leap, he shot through the air like an arrow, chasing after the enemy through the cave entrance.

Ling Huanxi followed him out. Before setting off, Yan Jinghong turned to Si Ming, "Watch carefully the last move of the Feng and Shan Sacrifice Sword Technique." Then he too took to the air.

The monks who remained at the scene looked at each other, unsure whether they should go to help. After all, they were all injured, and if they went, they might just be a hindrance. It would be better to stay put, and not everyone had the ability to take to the air.

"... I always feel like we've all become supporting characters."

"Being able to play a supporting role is a lucky thing."

"Sigh, I dream of being a lowly soldier waving the flag and cheering."

The Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation can only be activated on the ground, and although its range appears vast, its height is actually quite average. Therefore, the monks no longer considered sacrificing themselves to complete the Thousand Buddha Blood Sacrifice, but instead focused on restraining the other Monster Race generals present.

Intense fighting sounds soon filled the sky, accompanied by fierce winds that could split mountains and shatter rocks, causing the entire Seven Stars Palace to shake continuously.

Suddenly, the aura of the Monster Spirit King rapidly surged, surpassing its own limits. A dark, evil current enveloped the heavens and earth, obscuring the light and turning day into night. Calamity clouds gathered, and an evil eye appeared in the sky, overlooking the earth.
