Joining Forces to Shatter the Dao Fruit
Inside the main bronze tomb chamber, a gray-white mist slowly swirled; the deathly aura and the Space Dao energy intertwined to create a suffocating pressure.
Shi Jian held the Thunder Spear in one hand, purple-gold lightning flickering at the tip.
He gazed somberly at the rhombus-shaped crystal suspended in mid-air, radiating supreme Dao power, and made his final conclusion:
"Let's do it. If we don't break this thing today, no one will leave here alive."
Yuan Shan and White Crane exchanged a glance, both seeing the bitterness and trembling in each other's eyes; now that their escape route was cut off, and the Eight-Tentacled Demon King's death was still before their eyes, what choice did they have?
"Let's give it our all!"
Yuan Shan roared, his eyes turning bloodshot.
His internal Qi and Blood suddenly erupted, and his true form Sea Ape, hundreds of feet tall, reappeared, almost filling the bronze tomb chamber.
He gripped the colossal pillar tightly with both hands, his muscles bulging like rocks, veins popping out; his Immortal Foundation [Heaven-Shaking Strength] was pushed to its limit.
With a muffled sonic boom that tore through the void, it slammed down from above, crashing heavily onto the Spaceless Dao Fruit.
The White Crane also flapped its wings violently, and clouds and rosy hues surged forth from nothingness.
With a wave of his folding fan, the Immortal Foundation [Lord Amid the Clouds] transformed into hundreds of solidified cloud swords, their Sword Qi crisscrossing as they attacked the rhombus-shaped crystal with all their might, aiming to shatter it completely.
Shi Jian's face was cold and stern, and the bronze ground beneath his feet was shattering inch by inch.
His figure shot out like an arrow, his hands gripping the Thunder Spear tightly; on the spear, dragon souls roared in unison, and purple-gold lightning transformed into a Violent Thunder dragon, carrying the violent source of destruction, rushing straight towards Guowei.
Three devastating forces, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, suddenly intertwined in the center of the tomb chamber, heading straight for the [Spaceless] position...
However, the Spaceless Dao Fruit is the embodiment of the authority of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; how could it be easily desecrated by mortal power?
Sensing a threat, the silvery sheen flowing across the crystal surface suddenly intensified.
Buzz--!!
A sound, extremely faint, yet seemingly ethereal, emanated from the depths of one's soul.
Within that rhomboid crystal, it seemed as if countless great worlds were simultaneously arising and ceasing; a dazzling galaxy swirled within it, and the vast spatial Dao patterns instantly transformed into myriad forms.
Countless spatial boundaries are constantly being created and destroyed, centered on the crystal, like a blooming silver lotus flower, frantically strangling outwards.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Three cutting sounds rang out. Yuan Shan's colossal pillar, powerful enough to shatter Shan Yue, crumbled inch by inch like rotten wood the moment it touched the silver blade.
The silver light continued its relentless advance, instantly slicing across his massive body.
"No!"
Yuan Shan screamed in agony as more than a dozen deep, bone-revealing wounds instantly appeared on his chest.
Crimson demon blood gushed out like a waterfall, tearing his skin and flesh; even his internal organs were vaguely visible. His once-proud physical defenses were as fragile as paper in the face of this backlash from his cultivation level.
Fortunately, thanks to its strong vitality, it was not completely destroyed.
The White Crane fared even worse; its hundreds of cloud-like swords were swept away by the silver light.
Several spatial runes directly shattered his protective magical light; a few white feathers covered in blood and flesh drifted down, his left wing almost severed at the root.
He groaned and staggered to the ground.
"This position is unshakeable!"
White Crane's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his face. He thought to himself, "This kind of supreme treasure of heaven and earth contains the great power of the Great Dao. How could we, at the Nascent Soul, possibly shatter it?"
"I'm afraid we'll all perish here today!"
Yuan Shan was also terrified, his body uncontrollably retreating backward, his eyes filled with despair and a desire to retreat, his heart and soul broken with fear.
Both demons believed that the attack just now was Shi Jian's limit.
Now that the backlash from the previous position is so terrifying, this attempt is no different from an ant trying to shake a tree; certain death is inevitable.
"Smash it!"
A burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted inside the tomb.
Instead of retreating, Shi Jian advanced, letting the silver blade slash through his purple and white robes, leaving deep blood grooves on his body.
Blood splattered everywhere, yet he didn't even flinch.
"How dare a mere inanimate object block my path!"
Shi Jian's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a frenzied murderous intent; in an instant, thunder roared and Frenzied Thunder surged, filling the entire Dao Tomb with endless lightning.
Boom!
Shi Jian's spiritual strength surged instantly, reaching the Peak Nascent Soul; he almost touched the threshold of the Spirit Transformation stage.
With its powerful Divine Sense, the Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning], empowered by this divine soul force, saw its power multiply!
The phantom of the Lightning Bear manifested behind him, and countless bolts of lightning poured down like a waterfall.
The purple-gold lightning on the Thunder Firmament Dragon-Slaying Spear instantly intensified to its extreme, transforming into an incomparably deep black light.
This black light seemed capable of devouring all light, exuding a pure aura of destruction.
"Break!"
Shi Jian's hands, veins bulging, thrust his lightning spear, carrying a black light, fearlessly into the storm of spatial blades.
Yuan Shan and White Crane, watching from behind, felt a chill run down their spines.
"Madman! This bear demon is a complete madman!" Yuan Shan gasped, utterly stunned by Shi Jian's reckless ruthlessness.
This kind of madness is absolutely chilling.
White Crane gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes; he knew that if Shi Jian lost, they would have no chance of survival. "Damn it, let's fight!"
Despite the excruciating pain, White Crane once again channeled the remaining Demon Power within her body, transforming it into layers of cloud shields that protected Shi Jian from the side, attempting to alleviate some of the pressure on him.
Yuan Shan roared repeatedly, disregarding his injuries, and poured all his remaining earth-shattering power into Shi Jian's body to help him.
Faced with this desperate situation, the two demons could only grit their teeth and persevere, entrusting their lives entirely to the thunder spear.
Clang--!!
The tip of the Thunder Spear finally pressed firmly against the rhomboid crystal.
The black light and silver light clashed and devoured each other, bursting out with a dazzling halo; the entire bronze main tomb chamber began to tremble violently, and large sections of the array patterns engraved on the four walls collapsed, emitting mournful cries of unbearable pressure.
Within the Spaceless Dao Fruit, the illusory images of the vast world flickered wildly, attempting to transfer this destructive power into the void.
However, Shi Jian would not give up so easily!
"Break!"
With a roar, Shi Jian thrust his gun forward fiercely.
With a sharp crack, an extremely crisp sound of shattering followed; it was exceptionally clear amidst the violent roar of energy.
Yuan Shan and White Crane stared wide-eyed at the crystal.
Suddenly, a fine crack appeared on the surface of the Spaceless Dao Fruit; then, the crack spread rapidly like a spider web.
In the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the entire crystal.
The next moment, the throne shattered with a deafening roar!
In an instant, a mysterious aura that defies description swept out; the crystalline fragments transformed into a sky full of dazzling silver light, like Tianxing cascading down from the heavens, extremely magnificent.
The illusory image of birth and death in the vast world completely collapsed in the flowing light, and chaotic energy overflowed.
The shackles that had bound this world for millennia were finally smashed open at this moment; the secrets of the Profound Spirit Continent were finally reconnected with the Nine Realms outside.
The oppressive force of that the Unseen vanished instantly.
Amidst the boundless silver light, Shi Jian's face was cold and stern; yet, in a moment unnoticed by anyone, he quietly reached out a wisp of extremely faint, yet incredibly pure, primordial energy of the Space Dao.
Following his palm, it was silently gathered and suppressed by him.
The rules of heaven and earth have been broken!
The White Crane cried out in ecstasy, forgetting even the excruciating pain it was enduring.
However, the joy did not last even a moment.
Without the suppression of the Spaceless Dao Fruit, this vast array set up by the Spirit Transformation collapsed completely.
The walls of the main bronze tomb chamber suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless bronze fragments that were swept into nothingness.
The withered remains of the immortal lord below also turned into ashes in an instant, eventually disappearing into the world.
"Not good!" Shi Jian's expression changed drastically.
As the tomb disintegrated, the turbulent spatial currents from the outside surged in like a burst dam; such turbulence would be something even Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators wouldn't dare to easily venture into, let alone these few Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Walk!"
Shi Jian shouted and grabbed the White Crane beside him, his body surrounded by purple-gold lightning that transformed into a thick cocoon of lightning.
Yuan Shan reacted quickly, sticking close to Shi Jian and turning all his remaining Demon Power into a shield.
The next instant, the raging spatial turbulence, like a gaping maw of an abyss, completely swallowed the three demons; endless darkness and a sense of tearing swept over them.
The three demons then vanished into the endless space, and the ten-thousand-year-old cage was broken.
But whether they live or die remains uncertain.
