Chapter 737 Suppressing the Netherworld Monument
Di Xuanming was a little confused, but he still stopped obediently, resting his forehead against hers, breathing rapidly and his eyes reddened: "Hmm?"
Luo Li's cheeks were flushed pink as she calmed down, "Lingyu is here."
An emotion flashed across Di Xuanming's eyes, but it was gone in a flash. He pressed his fingertips against her slightly swollen lips and asked, "Have you found a solution?"
Luo Li raised her head, nodded with a smile, and said easily: "I found it, it went smoothly."
She tapped Di Xuanming's Adam's apple and said, "Once Xue Yan arrives, we can begin."
Di Xuanming's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and his voice became even hoarse: "Okay."
After a few breaths, several people came to the courtyard. Lingyu cleared his throat and asked, "Spirit Master?"
Luo Li straightened her messy clothes and regained her composure: "Come in."
The door opened slightly, and a group of people walked in one after another. The leader was Xue Yan. He had sharp eyes and steady steps.
The lights in the courtyard flickered, reflecting on Luo Li's cold face, adding a touch of softness.
She turned slightly to the side and motioned for everyone to sit around.
Di Xuanming silently moved to her side, his eyes fixed on Luo Li, affection surging in his eyes.
Xue Yan looked around, and finally his eyes met Luo Li's. Respect flashed in his eyes, and he spoke softly, his words filled with unquestionable determination: "Everything is ready, just waiting for the Spirit Master's order."
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was as bright as a silk thread, spreading across the courtyard, casting a veil of mystery over this secret gathering.
As soon as Xue Yan finished speaking, a gust of night wind blew by, causing the bamboo leaves in the yard to rustle.
Ling Yu asked, "Did the Spirit Master find a way to break the impasse during this trip?"
Luo Li gently raised her hand, and a branch gleaming with emerald green light appeared in her palm. She raised her eyes gently and said, "I found it."
The moment Xue Yan saw the branch, he was a little surprised and asked, "A branch of the Tree of Life?"
"That's right," Luo Li nodded. "This is a branch of the Tree of Life. Although it can't destroy the Netherworld Monument, it will be enough to disable it from exerting any power for the next few years."
Xue Yan's face lit up with joy: "Great, great! The Tree of Life can naturally restrain the power of the Dark Realm. With this branch, we won't need the Netherworld Monument to destroy the continental barrier!"
Suddenly, as if the Netherworld Monument sensed the breath of the Tree of Life, the air around the aerial altar began to distort, and an ancient and evil breath spread out, forming circles of black ripples.
The eyes of the statue of the evil lord of the dark world suddenly opened, emitting two rays of dark green light that penetrated the clouds and shot straight into the distance.
Under the illumination of this light, all creatures on earth felt a deep fear, as if they were being watched by some evil being, and even breathing became difficult.
Emperor Xuanming's tone darkened slightly, "It seems it has sensed the aura of the Tree of Life and wants to destroy the continental barrier with one strike."
Xue Yan frowned and made a quick decision: "Spirit Master, I will take you up."
Luo Li knew that this was the best time. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Xue Yan's figure flashed and turned into a stream of blood-red light, rushing towards the twisted altar.
He stretched out his arms, and powerful spiritual power surged, holding Luo Li steadily up and protecting her behind him.
The two of them shuttled through the black ripples, and it seemed as if countless resentful souls were whispering around them, and the shrill sounds were endless.
On the top of the altar, the hideous face of the statue of the evil lord of the dark world was faintly visible in the dark green light, and a heart-pounding pressure came overwhelmingly, as if to devour all living things.
Luo Li tightly grasped the spear in her hand, the tip of the spear lightly tapping the void. Every step seemed to be stepping on an invisible string, making a crisp echo.
The blood and energy in Xue Yan's body surged, forming a protective film that isolated the dark energy that attempted to invade.
As they approached the statue, Luo Li's eyes flashed, and the sword shone like a dragon, cutting through the darkness and striking the statue directly between its eyebrows.
At that moment, the dark green light trembled violently, as if the entire dark world was shaking. An ancient and evil power was touched, and the space distorted even more violently.
"Let me go."
Luo Li's voice was calm.
"No!" Xue Yan said anxiously, "The power of this altar is stronger than we imagined..."
Luo Li reiterated: "Let me go, don't worry, I will be fine."
Xue Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally sent the soul power chain to protect her.
Luo Li flew and landed directly on the altar. She carefully held the branch of the Tree of Life, her body protected by the power of the branch, and walked towards the Netherworld Monument in the center of the altar.
The air around seemed to tremble slightly at the arrival of the branch. The light on the branch intertwined with the dim light of the Netherworld Monument, forming a strange and mysterious picture.
The cold and gloomy aura that was brewing around the Netherworld Monument and on the altar slowly dissipated the moment it encountered the branches of the Tree of Life, just like ice and snow encountering the warm spring sun.
Recalling what the high priest said, we only need to place the branches of the Tree of Life next to the Netherworld Monument and protect it with the soul protection formation.
Without hesitation, she set up the formation immediately, quickly forming seals with her hands. Amidst the flashes of light, the soul protection formation slowly took shape beneath her feet. The golden runes moved around like living things, and finally settled into a semicircular light shield, gently wrapping the Netherworld Monument and the branches of the Tree of Life.
As the formation was activated, a warm and peaceful force filled the air, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness around it. The greenery on the branches became more lush, as if bringing a glimmer of life to this dark place.
Luo Li pursed her lips, half-knelt down and placed the branch of the Tree of Life in the center of the formation.
Her fingertips gently touched the gleaming branches of the Tree of Life within the spirit protection formation, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination.
Her gaze seemed to penetrate the light shield and silently met the flashing blood-red lines on the Netherworld Monument.
This time, you lose.
In three years, you won't win either.
The branches of the Tree of Life around her seemed to sense her intentions, trembling slightly and releasing a softer light that enveloped the entire altar.
The black air dissipated, and even the black air that escaped not far away was dispelled by the purifying power of the branches of the Tree of Life.
Luo Li condensed a trace of the power given to her by the Tree of Life at her fingertips, condensed it into a sphere and placed it next to the branches of the Tree of Life.
In the air, subtle life forces quietly surged, like small streams converging into a river, nourishing the branches and making the green increasingly vivid, as if a small, vibrant world was about to bloom in this darkness.
Luo Li smiled and turned to leave.
Xue Yan was waiting anxiously outside the altar. When he saw Luo Li walking out of the barrier, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Spirit Master doesn't come out, he will rush in.
The scene just now, with the black air and emerald green surging and intertwining at the same time, really made him nervous.
Xue Yan quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of concern: "Spirit Master, are you okay?"
Luo Li's figure appeared particularly soft in the dim light, her hair fluttering gently, carrying a barely perceptible purifying power.
