Right fight
Bai Da's thousand-year-old blood energy was too much for this mortal to withstand, and Wu Zi, also a mortal, couldn't withstand it either. In the moment of crisis, Bai Er transformed into human form, pulled Wu Zi away, and also threw a punch at Jiu Yin...
The immense power generated by the magic of the two thousand-year-old snake demons collided, causing the surrounding air to crack and even sending pebbles flying into the sky and turning them into dust... The shockwave forced the people nearby to retreat...
But Jiu Yin, oblivious to his own mortality, continued absorbing blood energy and charged at Bai Er, unleashing punch after punch. Bai Er raised his hand to block, and said to Wu Zi, "Go check on Xu Yi and the altar. Leave him to me..."
“Alright,” Wu Zi thought, “such power is indeed beyond what Wu Zi can handle.” He went over to check on Xu Yi, and when he realized that Xu Yi had simply fallen into a deep sleep, he looked back at the altar in the center…
The lightning from the altar continued to strike, and the once intact snake head of the white dragon was now greatly worn away. It wouldn't be long before it was completely refined... Wu Zi looked at the formation on the altar. There was a magical artifact hidden in the thunderclouds on it. The formation on the ground looked like a trapping formation, but it was different from ordinary trapping formations...
It was unclear whether the lightning above was emitted by a magical artifact or by using a magical artifact to activate a magic array… Wu Zi simply shook Xu Yi awake, and only after seeing that Xu Yi was conscious did he ask her, “Xu Yi, do you know how to get into this array? I need to take a closer look inside to figure out how to break these lightning bolts…”
Xu Yi's whole body ached, but ignoring the daze in her mind, she quickly nodded: "I know, there's a door over there..." As she spoke, Xu Yi stood up and pulled Wu Zi toward the door. They reached the door in a few steps: "It's here, take a look." After saying that, she collapsed back to the ground, exhausted.
"Are you alright?" Wu Zi looked at Xu Yi, who waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, you go ahead and do your thing."
Wu Zi turned and carefully examined the array in front of him, probing it circle by circle with his spiritual power. Finally, he found a gap and poured his magic power into it. After all the magic power covered the gap, the door opened...
"It's open?" Xu Yi stood up again, and just as he reached the door, he was slammed into the altar by a palm strike emanating from Jiu Yin in the distance. Xu Yi lunged forward, pushing Wu Zi aside in the process...
He fell heavily to the ground, his head ringing with pain. Seeing Wu Zi coming to help him up, he shook his head and forced himself to stand up, saying to Wu Zi, "It's okay, I'm fine. You should break the lightning spell as soon as possible..." Then he sat up and leaned back against the altar door, beginning to draw ghostly energy from the black bead, which transformed into threads that shot out from his back to repair the door behind him...
Just as he finished repairing a third of it, Jiuyin took a moment to send another burst of magic power over there...
Xu Yi took the blow by the door, vomiting blood, but stubbornly held onto the nearby altar to prevent herself from falling. Wu Zi was extremely worried, his eyes involuntarily turning to Xu Yi again… Xu Yi shook her head: “Save Bai Da first… I can hold on a little longer, hurry up…”
“Okay,” Wu Zi nodded with difficulty, suppressing his anxiety and worry, and began to focus all his attention on deciphering the magical lightning within the thunderclouds…
In order to see the situation in the thunderclouds as quickly as possible, Wu Zi risked opening his Dharma Eye. He had also cultivated to the point of having a Dharma Eye, but the Dharma Eye consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, so he almost never used it. Moreover, this situation was caused by Bai Da himself bearing the consequences, and using his Dharma Eye to interfere with the formation would also subject him to additional heavenly punishment. Fortunately, he still had several decades of lifespan left, which he could withstand...
Xu Yi leaned against the doorway, continuously squeezing out the ghostly energy from the black bead, which condensed into threads on the altar door. The wisps of black ghostly energy weaved back and forth at the doorway like needles and thread, forming an irregular net like spider silk to block the way...
Bai Er was also very anxious seeing the situation with Xu Yi and Wu Zi. Although his demon body was stronger than a human body, Bai Er was at a disadvantage because his cultivation was hundreds of years lower than Bai Da's. As for Jiu Yin, although he was only in human form, his body was full of Bai Da's magic power at the moment. He was like a ball filled with a thousand years of demon power, which was very durable and gave Bai Er a headache.
The three sides are locked in a stalemate, with no clear outcome for any side. The battle now hinges on who will fall first—whether Jiu Yin will succumb to the power of the thousand-year-old demon blood and collapse, or whether Xu Yi's side will hold on and allow Wu Zi to break through the magic lightning first…
As the old fox gathered his demonic blood power to fight Bai Er, he felt his body was about to burst. So he gathered a portion of his demonic blood power and swung it toward the altar. In this way, he was able to hold on for a long time in a strange way.
It was a pity for Xu Yi. Her body had already been damaged by the magic lightning of the sacrificial tower, and she was also struggling to prevent the magic power of Jiu Yin from affecting Wu Zi. As she kept consuming energy, the ghost energy in the black bead kept shrinking. She dared not absorb the blood energy around her. Naturally, she was losing more and more energy as she consumed it without replenishing it. When the ghost energy in her body was exhausted, she used the ghost energy that maintained her human body to continue to hold on...
Fortunately, Wu Zi's discerning eyes instantly saw through the situation within the thunderclouds; it turned out to be a complex array. Above the complex array was a miniature version of the causal array, trapping Bai Da's inner core and drawing down heavenly lightning. Below that was a simple amplification array, which amplified the heavenly lightning within the causal array and reflected it downwards…
That's why the altar below keeps getting struck by lightning. Once Bai Da's inner core is taken out of the array, the lightning will stop, and the altar tower will stop being struck... But to take Bai Da's inner core out of the karmic array of punishment, someone without any bad karma needs to intervene—Xu Yi. Wu Zi immediately thought of Xu Yi and turned to look at her: "Xu Yi, how are you? Can you still hold on?"
"I'm fine, what's wrong?" Xu Yi ignored the throbbing pain in her back and looked at Wu Zi.
Wu Zi walked over and said to Xu Yi, "I'll hold this place off. You go and draw your ghostly energy to cover Bai Da's inner core. Once the causal array stops, this altar will no longer operate."
“Okay,” Xu Yi forced herself to stand up and made way for the doorway.
Wu Zi took over Xu Yi's position, pointed to the thunderclouds above, and told Xu Yi, "Inside there is a causal array. You can stop it by completely covering the inner core causal array with ghost energy and using your Dharma Eye."
"Alright," Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on activating his Dharma Eye. Since his body's ghost energy was insufficient, he drew ghost energy from the small wooden sword at his waist to barely open his Dharma Eye. Once he clearly saw the location of Bai Da's inner core, he drew ghost energy and flew towards the Karma Array...
As this wisp of ghostly energy passed over the sacrificial tower on its way to the Karma Array, it was repeatedly struck by magical lightning. Each strike injured Xu Yi's soul, weakening the ghostly energy by two points. Only by constantly drawing upon ghostly energy to replenish it could it barely maintain its wisp. Fortunately, the ghostly energy and yin energy in the small wooden sword were abundant. Through continuous weakening and replenishment, over and over again, the wisp of ghostly energy finally flew to the center of the Karma Array. The ghostly energy circled around Bai Da's inner core, as if trying to weave a shield...
But the heavenly lightning wouldn't let it have its way. As soon as it saw the ghost energy enter, it struck it, scattering the ghost energy, and Xu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
Undeterred, she continued to manipulate the ghostly energy of the small wooden sword to replenish and condense the ghostly threads. The heavenly lightning seemed to have noticed someone resisting, and increased its force, striking the newly condensed ghostly energy once more. The ghostly energy was scattered again, and Xu Yi spat out two mouthfuls of blood essence, staggering back two steps...
Wu Zi had been trying to fill the gap in the altar door with magical artifacts and couldn't help Xu Yi. He was both anxious and helpless, but of the three of them, only Xu Yi had never been involved in any evil deeds... He could only grit his teeth and tell Xu Yi to hold on: "Xu Yi, hang in there..."
“Fine,” Xu Yi didn’t turn around, but stared fiercely at the thunder in the thunderclouds. A sense of defiance rose within her. She drew half of the ghostly energy from the small wooden sword, condensed it back into a thread, and flew towards the causal threads in the thunderclouds…
The heavenly lightning seemed to be enraged, concentrating its power to strike Xu Yi's ghostly energy. The ghostly threads, originally as thin as a finger, were reduced to the size of a straw rope by the time they reached the causal array. Seeing that the ghostly threads had finally entered the causal array, Xu Yi drew all the remaining ghostly energy from the small wooden sword to replenish them. Replenished, the ghostly threads instantly grew much stronger, beginning to circle around Bai Da's inner core. Meanwhile, the heavenly lightning continued to strike, and Xu Yi's life essence had been greatly depleted...
However, Xu Yi always believed that as long as he didn't die, everything was fine. So he ignored his physical weakness and only wanted to completely cover Bai Da's inner core. In the struggle between the heavenly lightning and the lightning, the ghostly threads that Xu Yi condensed finally formed a black shield around Bai Da's inner core. The heavenly lightning stopped striking from above and perfectly missed Xu Yi's ghostly shield, which then struck the inner core from all directions...
Time was of the essence, and Xu Yi intensified his manipulation of the ghost silk threads, beginning to encircle the inner core...
When Xu Yi's essence and blood were almost exhausted, Bai Da's inner core was finally completely covered by Xu Yi's ghost energy... The causal array paused briefly, then decisively stopped when it saw Xu Yi's ghost energy, and even added a trace of golden energy to Xu Yi's ghost energy... Xu Yi felt that he had controlled the ghost energy to take back Bai Da's inner core.
Once the causal array stops, the enhancement array below naturally loses its effect...
With two clicking sounds indicating a pause, the Fare of the Sacred Tower stopped...
The sky returned to its clear blue, and in a moment, the gloom disappeared...
Exhausted, Xu Yi collapsed backward. Wu Zi, unable to stop, could only anxiously look at Xu Yi: "Xu Yi..."
At that moment, the white cat inside the altar stirred. It scrambled over and caught the falling Xu Yi with its head, and the dust settled inside the altar...
A sharp voice came from outside the sacrificial tower: "No...you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die..." After saying that, he ignored Bai Er's fist and began to absorb all the blood energy around the formation. The blood energy rapidly filled his body, making it swell up like a balloon...
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Bai Er exclaimed, quickly transforming into his original form and flying over to block the entire altar...
A tremendous explosion rang out. Although Bai Er shielded them from the shock, the people inside the altar still felt the immense impact, and dust billowed everywhere... The surrounding area was engulfed in ash...
After a long time, the dust settled, everything came to a standstill, and Bai Er's enormous body was now covered in blood...
Bai Er looked up at the people in front of the altar. Wu Zi was closest to him and seemed to have been knocked unconscious. Xu Yi's eyes were closed, and he didn't know what was going on. Although the brother under Xu Yi was weak, his eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at him...
Everything's alright, that's great...
