Something has happened on the holy mountain.
The hideous ghost head formed from the Burning Silence Demon Flame, carrying a suffocating aura of death, frantically devoured the glass fire pillar, pressing closer and closer!
The runes formed by Bie Heqin on Fang Lizhou's body were gradually fading.
The bone-corroding and soul-scorching spiritual power of the demonic flames, along with the astonishing backlash from the bond, surged through her body, almost tearing her apart.
Fang Li's vision began to blur, the hall spun around, and all she could hear was her own heavy breathing and heartbeat.
She bit her lower lip hard, using the last bit of her willpower to keep herself from fainting.
[Host... Hold on...] The system's voice was intermittent and so weak that it was almost inaudible. [Energy... exhausted... Core... Protocol... about to be forced into hibernation...] Its data stream completely dimmed and fell silent.
"Junior Sister—!!!" Ji Qianqiu's roar exploded. He saw Fang Li's pale face and the slender wrist that was about to be swallowed by the demonic flames, and his eyes instantly turned red.
An unprecedented surge of violent spiritual energy exploded from the ancient tree mark in his dantian, causing his surging blood to roar wildly and his bones to creak.
"roar--!"
He didn't think; his body moved before his consciousness. The Life Axe hummed and trembled, and emerald light shot into the sky, weaving behind him into the towering phantom of a giant.
The phantom figure's eyes were wide open in fury, its fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
"With my blood...burn my soul...protect!" Ji Qianqiu burned his life essence without hesitation, his aura rising steadily! His entire body burned with energy, and fine beads of blood seeped from his skin. His arm muscles bulged, and he raised his battle axe high, while the giant phantom behind him made a synchronized slashing motion! A violent axe aura, fused with boundless life force and a destructive will, tore through the distorted void and fiercely cleaved towards the demonic flame ghost head!
boom--!
The emerald green axe blade clashed violently with the pitch-black demonic flames! The vibrant light and the deathly demonic flames eroded each other, producing a series of hissing sounds!
Although the front end of the axe was constantly being melted by the demonic flames, it forcefully blocked its forward momentum, giving Fang Li a crucial moment to catch her breath!
On the other side, Xie Chen witnessed the demonic flames unleashed by the Holy Envoy, flames whose trajectory faintly matched that of the demonic flames in the destructive star map of his memory. His eyes flashed with a sharp light!
He suddenly crushed the jade fan he cherished in his hand, and with his blood essence as a guide, his ten fingers flew to form an ancient and complex hand seal, forcibly communicating with the silent ruins of the Star Observatory in the distance!
"The stars shift and the constellations turn, calamity is about to unfold!" he hissed, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Above the dilapidated dome, the star map corrupted by demonic energy suddenly lit up! Within it, the dark star, tightly bound by grotesque crimson chains, flickered violently, shooting out a dark, crimson beam that struck the Holy Envoy directly in the chest!
The Holy Envoy froze abruptly, the radiance of the laws surrounding him momentarily disrupted! He abruptly turned his head, his icy gaze carrying a hint of shock and anger for the first time, locking onto Xie Chen: "A remnant of the Starfall Pavilion?! How dare you pry into the secrets of heaven, courting death!" He was distracted by the anger, and his control over the demonic flames became slightly disordered!
"You damned Holy Envoy! Take this!" At this critical moment, the heavily injured True Man Qingxuan struggled to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury. Ignoring the damage to his Dao foundation, he frantically drew upon his life essence and unleashed his ultimate forbidden thunder technique! "Nine Heavens Annihilation Divine Thunder!"
Boom!
Outside the gaping hole in the dome of the main hall, dark clouds gathered wildly. A bolt of purplish-black lightning, as thick as a bucket and shrouded in an aura of destruction, tore through the sky and crashed down with the fury of the heavens!
Ji Qianqiu's fierce attack at the cost of burning his life! Xie Chen's star chart interference at the cost of shattering his natal magic weapon and depleting his essence and blood! Qingxuan Zhenren's life-threatening forbidden technique that risked damage to his cultivation path! These three forces, at different times and from different angles, created an unprecedented opportunity for Fang Li to reverse the situation!
Fang Li, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly opened her eyes under the strong stimulation of her survival instinct!
The chaotic light in her eyes swirled wildly at an unprecedented speed! She endured the excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart and her meridians being shattered, squeezing out the last bit of power from her Dao Foundation, and forcibly merging and compressing the remaining chaotic power, the void fluctuations of the Thoughts of Returning Hairpin, and the purifying Dao sounds of the Farewell Crane Zither!
"Chaos... Return to Nothingness!" With difficulty, she raised her arm and pointed a shocking finger at the center of the demonic flames, which was slightly disordered due to the Holy Envoy's distraction!
A hazy beam of light silently pierced through the demonic flames and shot straight at the Holy Envoy's brow!
The Holy Envoy was filled with shock and rage! He sensed a long-lost, deadly aura emanating from that beam of light, a aura powerful enough to threaten his life!
"No--!"
He tried to dodge by tilting his head and mobilize his strength to defend himself, but the gray light was faster than he could comprehend.
The beam of light pierced straight into his brow.
"puff--!"
The envoy was struck as if by a heavy blow, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood! The blood sizzled and corroded as it hit the ground.
The terrifying aura surrounding him, as vast as the sea, collapsed like an avalanche! The dark gold armor on his body let out a shrill cry of being unable to bear the weight, instantly becoming covered with cracks, and then exploded into countless fragments!
He let out another painful and furious roar, staggering back several steps!
At the same time, the void gate maintained by his power began to fluctuate violently due to the damage to his source, becoming extremely unstable. The terrifying roars coming from within the gate also carried a hint of anxiety! The entire Burial Abyss began to shake wildly, the earth cracked, giant boulders fell like rain from the dome, and demonic energy surged back, as if the end of the world had arrived!
"Go!" Master Qingxuan shouted hoarsely, gathering his inner energy, and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Chu Yunfan flashed his silver needles, temporarily stabilizing Shen Yunzhou's critical heartbeat, and together with Mo Yun and Ling Shuang, they struggled to lift him up. Ji Kuangshi and his son roared as they supported the exhausted and slumped Ji Qianqiu. Tie Pan unleashed the full power of his heavy shield's spiritual light, forcefully smashing through falling boulders to clear a path. Xie Chen, pale-faced, waved his hand, setting up several temporary protective arrays, barely managing to withstand the impacts from all sides.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Holy Envoy was injured and the void was in chaos, everyone retreated as fast as they had come from!
After pointing that finger, Fang Li exhausted her last bit of strength, her vision went completely black, and her body slumped backward.
In the instant before she completely lost consciousness, she vaguely caught a frail and aged voice that resounded deep within her mind, filled with indescribable anxiety.
"Liuli, return quickly...to the Holy Mountain...the origin...has changed."
In the chaos, seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Soul Devouring Cult Leader glared venomously at the crowd and the injured, staggering Holy Envoy. He gritted his teeth, transformed into a wisp of black smoke, and took advantage of the confusion to escape into the collapsing and closing void gate, disappearing without a trace.
Amidst deafening collapses and the mournful cries of demonic energy, the Burial Abyss slowly sank into an endless abyss of darkness.
