Collapse, Will You Hand It Over or Not?
Zhenyangzi frowned as well.
Although the Supreme Unity Boundless Array is powerful, it has been damaged for 20,000 years and has no one to preside over its core, so it is entirely supported by his own strength.
It can put up a fight against ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Realm, but it struggles against a complete Semi-Immortal Artifact.
"Blood Bone Old Devil, you dare to use Semi-Immortal Artifact to slaughter the sect? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Loose Immortal of the Immortal Alliance?" Zhenyangzi said coldly.
"Hold them accountable?" The Blood Bone Old Devil laughed loudly. "Once I obtain the Origin Dao Physique and return to His Majesty the Demon Emperor's side, the Immortal Alliance will be in dire need of protection itself. What's the point of holding them accountable? Old man, enough nonsense, break through my defenses!"
He gripped the magic banner with both hands and swung it forward with a sudden motion.
Call!!
A monstrous Hei Feng surged from the banner, like a black tsunami, crashing violently against the azure light shield.
Within the Hei Feng, countless evil spirits tore and gnawed, emitting piercing shrieks, specifically designed to corrode the spiritual power of the formation.
Sizzle!
Where the light shield came into contact with the Hei Feng, wisps of white smoke rose, and the blue light dimmed at a visible speed.
Zhenyangzi let out a muffled groan, his face paling slightly.
He rapidly formed hand seals, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the great formation, barely managing to keep the protective barrier intact.
"Senior!" Huangfu Chenyin called out urgently, "We'll go out and help you!"
"No need," Zhenyangzi said in a deep voice. "You guard the entrance to the mountain's interior and prevent the Devil Cultivator from getting in. The great formation can still hold."
That being said, it's clear to everyone that the formation won't last long.
The power of Semi-Immortal Artifact is far beyond what Tribulation Transcendence Realm can achieve; it is almost comparable to that of Loose Immortal.
The Blood Bone Old Devil was already at the Mid Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and with the added enhancement of Semi-Immortal Artifact, his destructive power was terrifyingly immense.
Once, twice, three times...
The Mystic Yin Devil Banner was continuously unleashed, and waves of Hei Feng rose higher and higher.
The light shield of the Supreme Unity Boundless Array grew thinner and thinner, and cracks began to spread, covering the entire light shield like a spider web.
Inside the mountain, the surface of the Origin Pool trembled violently, and the faint light of the Dao Embryo flickered.
Zhenyangzi's face grew paler and paler, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
He had been asleep for 20,000 years, and his soul was already weak, relying entirely on the Origin Pool to prolong his life. Now, forcibly activating the great formation to fight against the Semi-Immortal Artifact was taking a huge toll on his soul.
"Old man, let's see how long you can last!" The Blood Bone Old Devil sneered, biting his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood.
The Essence Blood fell onto the demon banner, and the banner instantly shone with a brilliant red light.
"Profound Yin Spirit Devouring, break through!!"
With a roar, the Blood Bone Old Devil poured all his spiritual power into the Demon Banner.
The demon banner trembled violently, and a black beam of light, tens of feet thick, shot out from the banner head with a world-destroying force, slamming into the weakest point of the light barrier.
Click!!
A crisp cracking sound.
The cyan light shield, like shattered glass, exploded with a deafening roar.
Countless fragments scattered and flew everywhere, turning into a shower of light that dissipated into the air.
The Supreme Unity Boundless Array has been broken.
"Puff!"
On the platform, Zhenyangzi was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out mouthfuls of golden blood. He staggered back a few steps, almost falling over.
The great formation was connected to his soul, and the moment it broke, his soul was also severely damaged.
"Senior!"
Huangfu Chenyin and Tie Shan exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to support him.
Zhenyangzi waved her hand, straightened up with difficulty, but her eyes remained firm. "It's alright... it's not time to lose yet."
Blood Bone Old Devil put away the Demon Banner and, accompanied by four Demon Generals, walked step by step into the mountain gate.
The blue bricks beneath his feet turned to ashes under the erosion of his demonic energy.
"Old man, you do have some backbone." He looked at Zhenyangzi mockingly. "The formation is broken, let's see what you can use to stop me now. Hand over your Origin Dao Physique obediently, and I can give you a quick death."
"Dream on," Zhenyangzi said coldly.
"Stubborn fools." The Blood Bone Old Devil sneered and waved his hand. "Kill them, then go and bring out the Origin Dao Physique from the mountain's belly intact."
"Yes, sir!"
The four demon generals simultaneously grinned maliciously and pounced forward.
"Don't even think about going there!"
Tie Shan roared, Xuantie Shield slammed out horizontally. The earthen-yellow spiritual light transformed into a barrier, blocking the way at the front.
Elder Huangfu Chenyin also unleashed his Enforcement Whip, its shadows flashing as he faced the two demon generals.
"Clang!"
The clang of metal rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.
Tie Shan grunted and retreated several steps.
He wasn't at his peak to begin with, and facing a demon general with higher cultivation was already a struggle, let alone with four opponents.
In just one exchange, he was so shocked that his Qi and Blood surged.
Huangfu Chenyin fared no better, fighting two opponents at once and suffering repeated defeats.
As more and more wounds appeared on her body, the black demonic energy invaded her meridians, making her movements increasingly sluggish.
Zhenyangzi took a deep breath, about to make his move.
"Old man, your opponent is me."
The Blood Bone Old Devil appeared before him in a flash, his withered hand, radiating a dense aura of Blood Baleful Intent, reaching for the top of his head.
Zhenyangzi gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and with two fingers forming a sword shape, unleashed a pale blue sword light.
"Bite!"
The sword light struck the Blood Bone Old Devil's palm, leaving only a shallow white mark.
"Is that all the strength you've got?" The Blood Bone Old Devil sneered. "Twenty thousand years ago you might have been someone of importance, but now you're not even worthy to carry my shoes!"
He struck out with his palm.
Zhenyangzi hastily defended himself, but with a bang, he was violently sent flying, crashing into a stone pillar behind him. The pillar shattered with a deafening roar, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere.
"Senior!"
Huangfu Chenyin cried out in alarm. In that moment of distraction, the demon general struck her shoulder with a claw, and the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.
She screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Elder Huangfu!" Tie Shan's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to rush over, but he was entangled by two demon generals and couldn't spare a move.
In the blink of an eye, he was covered in several deep, bone-revealing wounds, and his Xuantie shield was deformed from the impact.
The situation has completely collapsed.
The four demon generals dealt with Huangfu Chenyin and Tie Shan, and then walked step by step toward the entrance to the mountain's interior.
The Blood Bone Old Devil stepped on the rubble and slowly walked towards the fallen Zhenyangzi, his eyes filled with cruelty.
"Old man, I'm asking you one last time: pay up or not?"
Zhenyangzi struggled to sit up, wiped the golden blood from the corner of her mouth, and gave a bitter smile:
"The Taiyi Immortal Sect has never had anyone who surrenders."
"Good, you have guts." The Blood Bone Old Devil sneered, "Then I'll kill you first, and then I'll go in and get it myself."
He raised his hand high, and the Blood Baleful Intent energy gathered into a claw, which he then viciously clawed down at Zhenyangzi's head.
Zhenyangzi closed her eyes.
Looking back on these 20,000 years of protection, in the end, was it still impossible to hold on? Must the sacrifices of the Taiyi Immortal Sect truly be reduced to ashes?
At this critical moment...
Buzz...
From deep within the mountain, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted.
A pale blue beam of light shot into the sky, Mountain Breaking and soaring into the clouds.
An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of the Dao Integration Realm, spread out in a mighty and powerful manner.
The aura of the Void Refinement Realm!
The Blood Bone Old Devil's movements abruptly stopped.
He turned his head sharply, looking towards the mountainside, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
What happened?
Are there others inside the mountain?
Within the pillar of light, a figure slowly rose.
Li Yunjing opened his eyes, a primordial Daoist aura flashing within them before returning to calm.
His light blue Daoist robe fluttered without wind, his long hair flew in the wind, and the barrier of the Dao Union Perfection had been completely broken, his cultivation at the Early Void Refinement was as solid as a mountain.
A sudden realization dawned on me; it was done.
