Sudden upheaval, Dao Union Perfection
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhi Qianshu's malevolent form Demon-Slaying Divine Lightning and completely reduced to ashes.
Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, swayed, and almost fell over.
That last attack almost exhausted all of his Law Power.
He quickly sat down cross-legged and began circulating the "Transcendence and Ascension to Immortality Instruction" to recover.
With the help of the "Transcendence and Ascension to Immortality Instruction," Li Yunjing's condition instantly recovered.
At that moment, he felt an itch between his eyebrows. When he reached up and touched it, he found that the vertical eye between his eyebrows had closed.
He couldn't help but look down at the crystal in his hand.
"Was this Divine Ability given to me by the crystal?" Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
Just then, a deafening roar came from outside.
The entire chamber shook violently, and an evil aura, more than ten times stronger than before, surged into the sky.
Li Yunjing's expression changed drastically, and he rushed out of the secret room.
The sight before him made his eyes widen in disbelief.
The stone tablet had been completely reduced to dust, and a huge black crack stretched across the earth.
From the crack, an enormous figure is slowly crawling out.
It had already extended its two giant claws, and half of its body was exposed.
It was a monster covered in black scales, with three twisted horns on its head, a pair of tattered bat wings on its back, and black saliva dripping from its mouth. Each drop that fell to the ground would corrode a bottomless pit.
The great demon that was sealed away has already broken halfway!
At this Fang Hexuan and the other two were already at their last gasp.
Fang Hexuan was covered in blood, his blue robe was torn, and the purple vertical eye between his eyebrows had become dull and lifeless, clearly indicating that he had overdrawn too much of his Law Power.
Xie Zheng's arm hung limply at his sides, the Crimson Flame Saber fell to the ground, and the flames on his body grew weak and feeble.
Lu Xian's face was as pale as paper, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and there were several deep wounds on his body that exposed the bone.
Countless demonic soldiers surrounded them and launched continuous attacks.
The three could only stand back to back, barely managing to hold on.
"Ignorant humans, your death is near!" the great demon roared, its voice like the howling of countless evil spirits.
As it spoke, it raised a giant claw and slammed it down on the three of them with a destructive force.
If that claw strike lands, all three will surely die!
"Stop!"
Li Yunjing roared, and the golden vertical eye between his brows opened again, bursting out with an even more dazzling light than before.
He leaped into the air, releasing all his spiritual power without reservation.
Golden lightning intertwined with the power of the Azure Wood Origin Crystal, forming a huge phantom behind him.
The phantom figure, dressed in a green robe with a vertical eye between its brows, was none other than Qingyun Neng, one of the beings who had sealed away the Great Demon!
"Demon-Slaying Divine Lightning - All Spirits Return to One!"
Li Yunjing clasped his hands together and pressed them down sharply.
Countless golden lightning bolts descended from the sky, like a thunderstorm, slamming fiercely into the demon's giant claws.
At the same time, the ancient spiritual plants around that had not yet been corrupted suddenly began to grow wildly, with countless thick vines wrapping around the giant claw like dragons.
"Boom--!"
The golden lightning bolt collided with the giant claw, producing a deafening roar.
The great demon roared in pain as its giant claw was forcefully blocked.
"Yunjing!"
"Sect Leader!"
The three looked at Li Yunjing with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Li Yunjing landed in front of the three patriarchs, protecting them behind him.
Li Yunjing is different now than before; the Azure Wood Origin Crystal has fully unleashed its power.
With the support of this power, Li Yunjing's cultivation level was still at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage on the surface, but his actual combat strength had already soared to an extremely high level.
However, this state cannot last, as the power released by the Azure Wood Origin Crystal is limited.
If the Great Demon cannot be resealed before this power disappears, then it's all over.
"It's a pity that with this power I can only fight the Great Demon to a draw, and can't kill him. Otherwise, why would I be so frustrated?" Li Yunjing thought to himself.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunjing turned to look at Fang Hexuan and the others.
"Grandmaster Fang, seniors, are you alright?"
Fang Hexuan nodded. "Don't worry, you won't die. But we're afraid we can't help you much anymore. Yunjing, I sense that your aura is extraordinary; I suppose you have a way to deal with that great demon."
"Not bad." Li Yunjing nodded, his gaze turning grave as he looked at the Great Demon. "It hasn't completely broken free of its seal yet. We still have a chance. As long as we can restart the Myriad Spirits Formation, we can seal it again."
"But the core of the Myriad Spirits Formation has been destroyed by it," Lu Xian said weakly. "Without the core, the array cannot be activated at all."
"No, there's still a way," Li Yunjing said. "This crystal reminded me that the true core of the Myriad Spirits Formation isn't the stone tablet, but all the Spirit Plant in this Myriad Spirits Garden. As long as I use the crystal to communicate with all the Spirit Plant, I can re-condense the array's core."
Upon hearing this, Fang Hexuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
He understood why the Great Demon had suddenly broken free of its seal; the culprit was indeed themselves.
They were greedy and took away many of the Spirit Plant from this place.
This weakened the sealing power, and the great demon naturally wouldn't be polite.
At that moment, upon hearing this, the Great Demon's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Boy, you're courting death!"
It suddenly swung free, breaking free from the vines, then opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a stream of black demonic flames.
Wherever the demonic flames passed, the earth turned to scorched earth, and even the air itself was ignited.
Li Yunjing's gaze turned cold, and a dazzling light erupted from the vertical eye between his brows.
The Demon-Slaying Divine Lightning surged forth like a tidal wave, transforming into a lightning shield that completely blocked the demonic flames.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunjing closed his eyes and activated the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture to its fullest extent, spreading the power of the crystal as much as possible.
Then, his consciousness merged with this power, which then spread throughout the entire Myriad Spirits Garden.
He could feel the life force of every Spirit Plant resonating with him.
Those Spirit Plant that had survived for thousands of years seemed to have been waiting for this moment.
Countless streams of green life energy converged from all directions, flowing into Li Yunjing's body like green rivers.
Li Yunjing's body began to emit a dazzling green light, and his aura continued to rise.
Spirit Transformation Early Stage, Spirit Transformation Perfection, Dao Union Perfection... In just a short moment, his cultivation reached the Dao Union Perfection!
"Now!"
Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes and quickly formed hand seals.
Countless green rays of light shot out from his body, connecting to each of the Spirit Plant.
The entire depression suddenly lit up, and a huge green array slowly emerged on the ground.
The array's patterns are incredibly complex, containing the mysteries of life.
"The Myriad Spirits Formation, activate!"
With a loud shout from Li Yunjing, the formation was fully activated.
Countless green beams of light shot into the sky, forming a massive cage that trapped the great demon inside.
The green light continuously eroded the Devil Master's body, emitting a sizzling sound.
"No--!" The Great Demon roared in despair, frantically attacking the array cage.
However, the array cage was incredibly sturdy, and no matter how it attacked, it remained completely unmoved.
