Chapter 1156 No!
The blood-colored space shook violently, and a crack was torn in the sea of blood.
"Let's go!" Luo Li's sword tip emitted a golden light, protecting everyone as they rushed towards the crack.
Just as the last person passed by, countless blood-red tentacles suddenly emerged from the crack and grabbed the last floating jade.
Luo Li turned around and cut off the tentacles with a sword, but saw a blurry giant face emerging from the sea of blood. It was the appearance of the Holy Lord of the Demon God Temple.
"How can you ants covet the Cangwu inheritance?" The face uttered a hoarse laugh, and the sea of blood instantly boiled. "Since you are here, stay and serve as nourishment!"
A terrifying feeling of spatial compression suddenly descended, and everyone felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Seeing that the blood wave was about to engulf Fu Yu, Luo Li's eyes suddenly became golden, and the shadows of two ancient books appeared behind her.
"One sword, cut off the cause and effect!"
The Xuan Yue Sword shone with unprecedented light, and wherever the sword passed, time and space were simultaneously fractured.
The bloody giant face showed shock, and before it could react, the entire bloody space was split into two like a cut canvas.
“Plop—”
Everyone fell onto the real stone steps on the fourth floor, and the blood-red space behind them shattered and disappeared like a mirror.
Fu Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood with a pale face: "Is that... a forbidden time and space technique?"
Luo Li half-knelt with his sword in hand, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The backlash from forcibly using two magical skills at the same time caused her soul to ache, but what frightened her even more was the power of that sword strike—it actually cut through the Saint King-level spatial confinement.
As Di Xuanming helped her up, he felt an abnormally high fever on his fingertips: "Your spiritual veins are rioting."
"It's okay." Luo Li suppressed the surging blood and looked up at the platform in front of her.
There stood nine bronze pillars, each wrapped with chains of a different color, and in the center hung a beating crystal heart.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon's scales suddenly stood up straight: "That is... the godhead of Lord Cangwu!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
No one had expected that the divine nature that was said to be left behind by only extremely powerful ancient gods after their death would appear on the fourth level of the formation.
But what was even more bizarre was that the space around the crystal heart was distorting abnormally, and countless blood-colored threads could be vaguely seen spreading from the depths of the void.
"The Demon God Temple is draining the power of the divine nature!" Song Wanbai shouted.
Luo Li's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, not out of fear but out of anger.
Every time those blood-colored threads twitched, the divine nature dimmed a little.
She suddenly realized that the anomalies in the previous floors and the various movements of the Demon God Temple before entering the ruins were all a cover-up. The real target of the Demon God Temple has always been the Cangwu Godhead!
"We must cut those threads," she said, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth and pointing her sword at the nearest bronze pillar. "Nine pillars correspond to the Nine-Layered Heavenly Palace Formation. We will divide into nine groups and break the formation simultaneously."
Di Xuanming held her shoulders and said worriedly, "Your body..."
"There's no time," Luo Li broke free from his hand, a golden light flickering in her pupils. Tian Yan Jue was frantically deducing a method to break the formation. "Once the divine nature is contaminated by demonic energy, the entire ruins will collapse."
As if to confirm her words, the entire platform suddenly shook violently.
The crystal heart trembled painfully, and the blood-colored threads suddenly became twice as thick.
From the depths of the void came the triumphant laughter of the Saint Lord: "Too late, ants..."
"Get started!" Luo Li shouted, and seventy people instantly divided into nine groups and rushed towards the bronze pillar.
The moment they touched the pillar, nine pillars of light rose from the ground, illuminating the entire fourth floor as bright as day.
The complete shadow of Cangwu emerged from the beam of light. The gaze of this supremely powerful being from the Great Wilderness pierced through the void and pierced the Holy Lord hiding in the darkness: "Those who steal the sky will be killed!"
Luo Li only felt a vast power pouring into her body from the bronze pillar, and the runes of "One Sword" and "Tian Yan Jue" flowed wildly in her spiritual veins.
She saw that her companions in the other eight pillars of light were also shrouded in a strange light—
Emperor Xuanming was surrounded by the phantom fire of the underworld. Lan Xiaoxiao transformed into nine shadows, alternating between real and fake. Song Wanbai's soul power formed a galaxy pattern in the sky...
"This is..." Taixu Ancient Dragon stared at the nine pillars of light in shock. "Nine Lights Resonance! You have triggered the ultimate restriction left by Lord Cangwu!"
The Saint King in the void suddenly roared angrily: "No! This is impossible! Cangwu has long been dead and gone!"
Nine beams of light converged at the dome, transforming into a lightsaber that spanned the sky and earth.
Luo Li felt a surge of blessing in her heart, and the Xuan Yue Sword automatically flew into the core of the lightsaber. She heard Cang Wu's voice echoing deep within her soul:
"I'll borrow your strength to sever this evil spirit."
"Kill!" Seventy people shouted in unison, and the lightsabers slashed towards the void with the power to destroy the world.
"boom--"
The entire ruins shook violently, and countless spatial cracks spread like a spider web.
The blood-colored threads broke into pieces, and the crystal heart burst out with dazzling divine light.
The Saint King's screams came to an abrupt end, replaced by the muffled sound of some huge being being torn apart.
Luo Li saw a blurry six-armed demonic figure collapsing in the depths of the void.
"Success?" Lan Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground exhausted.
However, before everyone could catch their breath, the shattered void suddenly produced a terrifying suction force.
Nine bronze pillars collapsed one after another, and the crystal heart flew rapidly towards the crack.
Before everyone could stop him, Cangwu's divine nature directly escaped into the void and disappeared.
Everyone watched helplessly as they sat on the ground exhausted, "Gone, gone?!"
Taixu Ancient Dragon sighed, "That's a good thing. The divine nature will protect me from falling into the hands of the demons. In your hands, it will bring danger to you."
Luo Li stared at the direction where the void crack disappeared, her fingertips trembling slightly.
The Xuan Yue Sword fell from a high altitude and stabbed at her feet with a "clang". The golden runes flowing on the sword were slowly extinguished.
Emperor Xuanming suddenly covered his heart and knelt on one knee, a trickle of black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth: "Nine Netherworld Qi backfires..."
"A Ming!" Luo Li hurriedly supported him, but the biting cold froze her fingers the moment she touched him.
Only then did she realize that everyone present who had used their magical skills had experienced varying degrees of spiritual power outages.
Song Wanbai insisted: "It's not backlash... It's that after the Godhead left the ruins, this space is rejecting outsiders like us..."
As if to confirm his words, the platform beneath everyone's feet began to crack.
A roar like a landslide came from the distance, and the dome of the fourth floor was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Taixu Ancient Dragon held his head and said, "That won't do! I haven't got the inheritance yet! Lord Cangwu told me that Luo Li must get it!"
"But the ruins are about to collapse!" Six of Lan Xiaoxiao's nine phantoms had already disintegrated. She gritted her teeth and pulled up her injured companion, "We must leave immediately!"
Taixu Ancient Dragon was about to collapse, "No! I must get the inheritance left by the adults!"
