As the dark gold seal carrying an aura of destruction drew ever closer, almost filling his entire field of vision, the shadow of death loomed over his heart like never before!
Qiu Mobai watched helplessly as the dark gold seal, like a divine mountain falling from the heavens, hurtled straight toward his head with a world-destroying aura!
Before the thing even got close, the sheer force of the wind made his face sting, as if countless tiny knives were cutting into it!
What's even more deadly is that the pure Buddhist light emanating from the seal is practically the nemesis of someone like him who walks the demonic path!
That's even worse than throwing sulfuric acid in your face!
The golden light of the demon-slaying array had already caused him unbearable pain, and now a pro max enhanced version had arrived!
"You old bald monk! Are you never going to stop?!" Qiu Mobai roared inwardly, but his face was contorted beyond recognition due to the intense pain and the suppression of his demonic energy.
He felt like a fish nailed to a chopping board, forced to watch helplessly as the butcher's knife fell.
No! I can't just kick the bucket like this!
Having roamed the demonic path for so many years, what storms haven't I seen?
You think you can take my life with just a broken formation and a broken seal? Dream on!
A fierce and indomitable spirit, originating from his very bones, erupted within his chest like a volcano!
"roar--!"
Qiu Mobai suddenly looked up and let out a deafening roar. The sound was no longer just pain, but was filled with madness and violence in a desperate situation!
With that roar, the demonic runes on his forehead, which had been flickering, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented dark light!
The dark light was deep and viscous, as if it contained the most extreme evil and chaos in the world. It actually managed to create a tiny dark area around him, temporarily pushing away the all-pervasive golden Buddha light.
"Open it for me!!"
He suddenly pulled his arms outward, his bulging muscles like cast iron, veins bulging, each one like a twisted earthworm!
The golden rune chains binding him creaked under the strain, their golden light flashing violently, as if they might break at any moment!
At this moment, Qiu Mobai was truly risking his life!
He burned a portion of his demonic soul essence!
This is a desperate measure, with a huge price to pay. Even if you don't die afterward, your cultivation level will drop significantly, and you might even suffer permanent damage to your Dao!
But now, he couldn't care less! Compared to his life, everything else was nothing!
The burning of the demonic soul's essence resulted in a brief burst of power!
The demonic energy within his body surged forth like a burst dam, temporarily breaking through some of the suppression of the demon-subduing formation and beginning to circulate wildly!
An even more violent and ferocious aura surged from his body into the sky!
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the rapidly falling Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal. He clasped his hands together and then pushed them forward in an extremely bizarre posture!
"Ten Thousand Demons Devour Souls—Block!"
With his hoarse roar, countless jet-black demonic energies surged from his palms. These demonic energies were not ethereal but extremely solid, rapidly converging, twisting, and deforming in mid-air, eventually transforming into a huge, ferocious black ghost face!
This grotesque face was as big as a house, with a blue face and fangs, and its eyes were two bottomless black vortexes, radiating a terrifying suction force that devoured all souls!
It opened its blood-red maw and let out a silent roar, then charged headlong into the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal, which felt like Mount Tai pressing down on it!
This is one of Qiu Mobai's trump card life-saving techniques. It summons a projection of an extraterrestrial demon at the cost of burning his demonic soul, possessing extremely powerful defensive and devouring abilities!
Outside the formation, a hint of surprise finally appeared on Elder Luohan's usually calm and composed face.
"Hmm? Burning demonic soul? A cornered beast will fight to the death!" He sneered, his eyes flashing with even more ferocity. His withered fingers moved in hand seals once more, and he chanted incantations, uttering a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand Sanskrit sounds.
"Om Mani Padme Hum!"
The six-syllable mantra is like a thunderclap, resounding throughout heaven and earth!
As the mantra was uttered, the already imposing Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal shone with even greater golden light! The countless Sanskrit runes engraved on the seal seemed to come alive, leaping out one by one and transforming into golden swastika Buddhist seals, rapidly rotating around the Heaven-Turning Seal!
The angry-looking Arhat statue at the bottom of the seal opened its eyes wide, bursting out two beams of golden light that pierced through the void and shot directly at the hideous black ghost face!
Boom—!!!
Finally, the dark golden Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal and the pitch-black Ten Thousand Demon Soul-Devouring Ghost Face collided violently in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering roar as I had imagined, only a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound, as if space itself was being torn apart and forcibly crushed!
Golden light and black energy collided and annihilated each other wildly!
The black demon face opened its gaping maw as if it were about to swallow the Heaven-Turning Seal whole, but it was only when it came into contact with the vast Buddhist light that it stopped.
Just like boiling oil meeting boiling water, it emitted a shrill scream, and large swaths of black gas were instantly purified and evaporated!
The Heaven-Turning Seal paused only slightly before continuing its downward crushing force with even greater power!
The angry-looking Arhat statue at the bottom of the seal seemed to have truly come to life at this moment. Its domineering and suppressive majesty made the demonic aura on the black ghost face melt away like ice and snow!
Click! Click!
The black ghost face emitted a cracking sound as it struggled to break under the strain, and cracks spread out like a spider web!
Its soul-devouring black vortex was completely ineffective against pure Buddhist power; instead, it was constantly compressed and purified!
"puff--!"
Qiu Mobai was struck as if by lightning, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!
The Soul Devourer was connected to his mind and body; when the Ghost Face was injured, he immediately suffered a backlash!
The power gained from burning the essence of demonic souls still appears so vulnerable before this majestic and awe-inspiring Buddhist treasure!
He felt as if his internal organs were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand and then kneaded wildly!
The excruciating pain made his vision go black, and he almost fainted on the spot!
“No…impossible…” Qiu Mobai muttered to himself in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
His strongest defensive technique couldn't even hold out for a moment?
The old bald monk's strength, and the power of the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal, far exceeded his expectations!
It’s over!
This time they really messed up!
The moment he lost his composure, the golden rune chains binding him tightened suddenly!
The power of the demon-subduing formation seized the opportunity and completely crushed the remaining demonic energy within his body!
His last resistance, like a candle flickering in the wind, was completely extinguished!
In mid-air, the enormous black ghost face, after holding on for less than a breath, was finally crushed by the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal with a desperate wail!
Bang!
The black energy exploded and turned into countless black specks of light, which were then completely purified by the golden Buddhist light that followed, leaving not a trace behind!
