An astonishing scene unfolded!
The Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Walls continuously emitted white runic light in the sky, swelling as soon as the wind touched them. Before long, each had grown dozens of zhang across. As though possessed of their own intelligence, they drew together automatically, fitting themselves into an enormous octagonal Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Wall several li wide, just large enough to shield the Treasure Ship Market's entire giant flying boat.
"Rumble! Rumble!" The second wave of black beams had already arrived, and High Person Qianshan and the other two were still in the air, holding them off.
"Martial Uncle, it's ready!" Seeing that the Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Walls were in position, Li Xiaoya hurriedly called to High Person Qianshan.
"Good!" High Person Qianshan looked at the assembled Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Wall, astonishment crossing his face, and promptly answered. With a roar, he blasted several black beams away. Green light flashed several times as he circled around the wall and flew back aboard the treasure ship. The Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning and Buddha Xuanmen reacted just as quickly, returning to the ship in a few flashes.
"Boom!" The instant the three Spirit Communion Stage cultivators withdrew, a black beam struck the Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Wall with an earth-shaking explosion. White runes flashed violently across the wall. The entire structure shuddered and caved inward, but most of the pitch-black beam's power was reflected back out.
Truly formidable! the elders thought to themselves. Naturally, the Treasure Ship Market's Five-Element Formation Defense Restriction could also withstand several waves of those black beams. But High Person Qianshan and the others had their reasons for personally blocking the first wave. The beams contained vast amounts of demonic qi. If they struck the market's defensive restrictions, they would corrode large quantities of the spiritual qi
