Chapter 958: Collapse
The tip of the sword suddenly vibrated violently, and the murderous aura on the black sword receded like a tide.
The veins on Emperor Xuanming's neck bulged, and the three golden-patterned heart-eating locks made a sharp cracking sound deep in his soul.
“Ah——!” He suddenly held his head and roared, his black robe fluttering without wind.
The dark light of the Nether Pearl flickered, and the remaining soul of the ancient dragon began to retaliate against its master!
Feng Wuhen gritted his teeth, holding the Red Flame Scythe across his chest: "His consciousness is resisting the Heart Devouring Lock!"
The tip of Emperor Xuanming's sword trembled slightly, and the murderous aura on the black sword flickered.
He stared at the bloody mark on Luo Li's neck that he had cut himself, and a broken picture suddenly flashed through his mind -
The girl was in his arms, her eyes slightly red, her expression firm: "A Ming, I will definitely find you, definitely."
The clear voice seemed to penetrate time and space, ringing clearly in his ears.
Emperor Xuanming pressed down his solar plexus fiercely, and the three golden-patterned heart-devouring locks vibrated violently in the depths of his soul.
"Shut up!" He suddenly became furious, and swept out with his sword, but forcibly changed direction the moment it touched the corner of Luo Li's clothes.
The sword energy split the stone pillar at the back, and the entire cave began to collapse.
Feng Wuhen took the opportunity to pull Luo Li behind him, and his red-flaming sickle cut a path through the rubble. "The other Nine Heavens guards are dead. Let's go!"
Seeing that Luo Li had no intention of leaving, Feng Wuhen gritted his teeth and growled, "His current strength is simply not enough to break through the Heart-Eating Lock cast by the True God! You staying here now won't have any impact on him. It's better to go back and make a long-term plan!"
Gravel fell like rain, and Emperor Xuanming's figure was looming in the smoke and dust.
He knelt on one knee, his black sword deeply inserted into the ground, and the ground around the sword was cracked with spider-web-like patterns.
Three golden heart-eating locks appeared between his brows, wriggling like living things.
"A Ming..." Luo Li broke free from Feng Wuhen's hand and took a step forward.
The blood on the side of her neck had already coagulated, but her obsidian eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Don't go over there!" Feng Wuhen held his red flame sickle across her face. "The Heart Devouring Lock and the Netherworld Pearl are backfiring. He can't even recognize you now!"
As if to confirm his words, Di Xuanming suddenly looked up, his eyes becoming even bloodier.
The Nether Pearl was suspended in front of his chest. In the dim light, one could vaguely see the shadow of an ancient dragon wrapped around his arm, and the dragon scales were slowly merging with his skin.
"Ugh—" Di Xuanming suddenly grabbed his right arm, his five fingers digging deep into the flesh.
The remnant soul of the Taixu ancient dragon let out a silent roar, and two forces clashed fiercely in his body.
Luo Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
This is the best opportunity!
The Heart-Eating Lock and the ancient dragon's remnant soul were restraining each other, and Emperor Xuanming's consciousness was at its most vulnerable moment.
She bit her fingertip without hesitation, and blood drew an arc in the air. The blood mixed with pure chaotic soul fire wrapped around Di Xuanming's body.
Emperor Xuanming's body trembled violently.
The Phoenix's true fire burned the dark light of the Nether Pearl, and the remaining soul of the ancient dragon let out a painful roar.
And deeper inside, tiny cracks began to appear on the three golden-patterned Heart-Eating Locks.
"Luo...Li..." Two broken syllables came out of Di Xuanming's throat.
His eyes flickered, sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy.
Feng Wuhen looked at this scene in shock: "It's actually true..."
At this moment, something strange happened!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from between Emperor Xuanming's eyebrows, and the Heart-Eating Lock planted in the body of the True God Emperor Xuanming burst out with a blazing light.
The golden light penetrated the encirclement of the chaotic soul fire like a sharp arrow and shot straight into Luo Li's heart!
"Be careful!" Feng Wuhen's warning was a step too late.
Luo Li did not dodge or evade, but instead stepped forward.
She formed seals with her hands, and the power of the laws of heaven in her body, which she had not yet fully mastered, was forced to activate.
A layer of pale golden light curtain unfolded in front of her, colliding with the golden light of the Heart-Eating Lock.
"puff--"
Luo Li spat out a mouthful of blood, and the golden light curtain shattered instantly.
But the golden light of the Heart-Eating Lock was also greatly weakened, and the aftermath only left a burn mark on her shoulder.
"Are you crazy?" Feng Wuhen supported the shaky Luo Li, "Forcibly using the power of the laws of heaven will backfire on you!"
Luo Li smiled, because she saw the blood color in Di Xuanming's eyes fading, and the cracks on the three golden-patterned Heart-Eating Lock were widening.
"Ah Ming, remember..." She stretched out her hand weakly, "Don't let Yan Ye control you..."
Di Xuanming's expression changed drastically, with pain and struggle alternating between them.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if wanting to touch Luo Li's face, but suddenly withdrew it halfway.
"No..." He hugged his head in pain, and the dark light of the Nether Pearl became brighter again.
The remaining soul of the ancient dragon took the opportunity to counterattack, and the dragon scales had spread to his neck.
The collapse of the cave intensified, and huge stone pillars fell one after another.
Feng Wuhen swung his red-flaming sickle to split the falling boulders and shouted anxiously, "If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Luo Qingzhu and the others were trapped on the other side of the cave. "Ali! Go!"
Luo Li stood there stubbornly, blood constantly flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The power of the laws of heaven in her body was getting out of control, and her spiritual veins and soul were as if being burned by fire.
But she couldn't retreat, this was the best chance to wake up Emperor Xuanming.
"A Ming, look at me..." She endured the severe pain and gathered her soul power again, and the power stroked his eyes.
Di Xuanming's movements suddenly stopped.
He stared at Luo Li's face, and the blood color in his eyes receded like the tide.
"A...Li..." This time, his voice was much clearer.
But at this moment, Luo Li's body suddenly shook, and she fell forward, unable to support herself any longer.
The backlash from forcibly using the power of the laws of heaven finally broke out, and the power of the laws around her suddenly began to become disordered.
"Luo Li!" Feng Wuhen rushed forward and caught her before she fell to the ground.
The moment he touched it, his face changed drastically - cracks appeared in Luo Li's spiritual veins!
Emperor Xuanming seemed to be stimulated by this scene and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
The three golden-patterned heart-eating locks shattered with a sound and turned into specks of golden light and dissipated.
But then, the remnant soul of the ancient Taixu dragon in the Nether Pearl took the opportunity to counterattack, and the dark light enveloped him completely.
"Let's go!" Feng Wuhen made a quick decision, picked up the unconscious Luo Li and rushed towards the exit.
With one last look back, he saw Di Xuanming's figure engulfed in dim light, as well as several black-robed figures suddenly appearing from the depths of the cave.
"Reinforcements from the Ninth Heaven..." Feng Wuhen's heart sank, and he sped up to rush out of the cave that was about to collapse completely.
These people did not see them, so the only person who knew about it now was the living Di Xuanming.
I hope he won't tell Jiuchongtian about Luo Li's identity.
Otherwise... his eyes darkened, the consequences would be disastrous.
Behind him, the entire Shenqing Peak collapsed, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.
The figure of Emperor Xuanming, along with those mysterious men in black robes, seemed to be buried under thousands of rubbles.
