Chen Ruixuan stared intently at the Ancient Remnant Beast and the group of cultivators, his mind racing as he considered a response. At that moment, the Ancient Remnant Beast attacked first. It opened its bloody maw and unleashed a blazing pillar of fire straight at Chen Ruixuan. His eyes sharpened as he quickly dodged sideways. The fire pillar grazed past him and instantly melted a massive boulder behind him into lava.
Seeing this, the cultivators temporarily set aside their infighting and unleashed spells at the Ancient Remnant Beast, hoping to weaken it amid the chaos and reap the benefits later. The blue-robed cultivator repeatedly flicked his folding fan, sending several ice spikes like sharp arrows toward the beast. The spikes struck its hard scales with crisp clangs, but left only shallow marks.
The Fierce-Faced Cultivator formed hand seals and summoned a massive earth dragon. Roaring, the earth dragon charged at the beast, intending to knock it down. However, the Ancient Remnant Beast merely cast it a contemptuous glance, then lashed out with its thick tail, shattering the earth dragon into pieces. It turned into a pile of dirt scattered across the ground.
Taking advantage of the gap while the beast fought the cultivators, Chen Ruixuan gathered his strength again, preparing to launch another attack. He knew that to resolve the crisis before him, he had to find a way to make the beast and the cultivators both suffer losses before looking for a chance to break through.
Chen Ruixuan took out his Slingshot. This time, he poured all his spirit power into it, condensing a huge Spirit Power Pellet. The pellet radiated intense light, like a miniature sun. He aimed at the Ancient Remnant Beast's eye and fired with all his strength. Like a bolt of lightning, the pellet shot toward the beast. Sensing danger, it tried to evade, but the pellet was too fast and still grazed its eye. The beast let out a pained roar, blood streaming from one eye, and furiously turned its attention toward Chen Ruixuan.
Just as the beast prepared to attack Chen Ruixuan with all its strength, the blue-robed cultivator seized the moment and unleashed a powerful spell. He gathered all his spirit power into his folding fan, then swung it fiercely, sending a massive ice blade slashing toward the beast's neck. Feeling the attack from behind, the beast had no choice but to abandon its assault on Chen Ruixuan for the moment and turn to block the ice blade with its claws. The ice blade collided with its claws with a thunderous crash, scattering shards of ice.
Chen Ruixuan seized the opportunity and quickly ran behind a huge boulder in the valley. From his storage pouch, he took out several strange Rune Stones. He had collected these Rune Stones during his earlier adventures, and they were said to contain immense power. He arranged them in a specific order, then muttered an incantation and activated them.
The Rune Stones released streams of mysterious light that intertwined to form a massive Rune Array. The Rune Array emitted powerful suction, wildly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy. Chen Ruixuan placed the pearl he had obtained from the Mysterious Ruins at the center of the Rune Array. Absorbing the array's power, the pearl's glow became even more dazzling.
As the Rune Array activated, even the surrounding space began to warp. Chen Ruixuan focused his mind and directed the Rune Array's power toward the Ancient Remnant Beast and the cultivators. The immense force was like an invisible storm, engulfing them all. The beast and the cultivators felt overwhelming pressure and struggled fiercely against it, but before the Rune Array's power, they seemed increasingly unable to hold on.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Chen Siyu finally completed her breakthrough. She slowly opened her eyes, an unusual glint flashing within them, while an aura far more powerful than before radiated from her body. Sensing the danger in the valley, Chen Siyu immediately unleashed her divine ability. The Five-Colored Ribbon danced through the air and transformed into a five-colored barrier, protecting Chen Ruixuan.
Then Chen Siyu formed hand seals and chanted a spell. Dark clouds filled the sky, and thick bolts of lightning crashed down from the clouds toward the Ancient Remnant Beast and the cultivators. The lightning resonated with the Rune Array's power, forming a force capable of destroying heaven and earth. Under the impact of this overwhelming power, the Ancient Remnant Beast and the cultivators were all severely wounded, no longer able to resist...
