The changes in the sky awakened everyone who had been blinded by desire. No matter how good something is, you have to be alive to enjoy it. A dark red cloud covered the sun, and demonic energy enveloped the entire Yi Ling Sect. What horrified them even more was that the demonic energy did not originate from the Demon Lord, but from the Saint Zhi Feng, whom they relied on!
"Supreme Elder!"
"Ancestor!"
"..."
Several different voices came from the edge of the magic array. The Second Hall Master, who had been hiding behind the battlefield, originally disagreed with attacking Yi Ling Sect. The foundation of an ancient sect was such that even if all the major sects joined forces, the final attack would result in heavy casualties. Although the two of them were hall masters, they had lost real power after their ancestor came out of seclusion. They could not disobey orders, nor did they want to get involved in the conflict. They had been standing by, providing medical assistance when people were seriously injured, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
They acted secretly because the people who could discover them were not on the battlefield below. Although the ancestor who had emerged from seclusion had become different from before, stubborn and ruthless, he was still their mentor who had taught them and shaped their life's cultivation. How could he not be heartbroken to watch them being sacrificed by others?
The two palace masters transformed into streaks of light and flew into the sky to save people, but were struck by two bolts of lightning and fell heavily back to the ground.
Geng Qi and the others were still in the center of the magic array, trapped by five vortexes, with purple lightning flashing, the power contained within surpassing even the heavenly tribulations!
"The Heaven-Slaying Rebirth Formation..."
Leng Ning Shuang murmured softly, looking at the person opposite her who was clearly going crazy but still remained calm, a hint of pain showing in her eyes: "Fu Sheng, even if you do this, she won't come back."
The "Slaying Heaven and Rebirth" technique borrows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to ignite the life force of a person, allowing them to reincarnate into the cycle of rebirth.
Even so, what they got back was no longer the same person, but a newborn with the same appearance.
This was the first time Leng Ningshuang had truly called out the real name of the Sage Zhifeng. Geng Qi, however, had no mind to care about what he was like before. He had gone mad, and his resentment supported the entire magic array, eroding the spirits of the cultivators within, as if trying to assimilate their resentment.
Fu Sheng said, "He and his son ruined her life. She risked her life to give birth to her child, and the Demon Lord ascended to heaven by using her divine voice. She was an excellent woman and should not have been used by them."
As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and lightning gathered on his body in the vortex. A crystal coffin appeared behind him, and the woman lying inside radiated a brilliant golden light amidst the shimmering purple lightning.
Geng Qi frowned as he looked on. His birth was not his choice. Phoenix would not give birth unless it was of its own free will. It gave him offspring without asking his wishes, and now it wants to take them back without asking his wishes. What was the point of his life?
His palm tightened slightly as someone grasped his hand. His heart was cold; he wanted to give Rong Yu warmth, and in turn, he wanted to draw warmth from him.
He heard Rong Yu say, "The phoenix is a divine beast of heaven and earth, born to save the world. Those who bring disaster to the common people will be reincarnated. What returns is just a monster."
His voice was as clear and crisp as ever, but Geng Qi felt strangely calm. The current admonitions would not move Fu Sheng at all, and no one wanted to waste any more words.
When the thick lightning struck down, the three of them had already escaped the Five Elements Trapping Array. The vortex that had been standing upright flipped over as they fell, and when viewed from the ground, it looked like five purple-black suns!
"What is that?"
"Has Saint Zhifeng gone mad?!"
"Where have those seniors gone?!"
"..."
A chorus of surprised and uncertain voices rose and fell. Not everyone had seen the Void Rejuvenator's sacrificial array, but now everyone knew that the terrifying lightning was drawn out by Saint Zhifeng, because he was now in the center of the five vortexes, fused with the array.
Before they could react, five bolts of lightning struck down from the vortex at the same time. Exclamations of alarm rang out. The barrier formed by the spiritual power of thousands of people could not withstand the lightning strike and cracks appeared. Then another bolt of lightning struck down, and the protective shield shattered instantly!
The lightning bolts grew faster and faster. One bolt struck a cultivator at the edge, instantly dissipating him, leaving not even a trace of his soul and body behind!
The cultivators began to panic. Some complained about who had brought them to the Yiling Sect. All sorts of negative emotions turned into resentment and rose into the sky, where they were sucked into the vortex.
"Your Excellency, Sister Mei."
Seeing them fall from the sky, Qing Han quickly came to greet them. Behind him, Jie Beiying transformed into human form and no longer clung to him. Her empty eyes gazed into the distance, and her expression was no longer as frivolous as usual.
As the fierce battle subsided, the panicked people began to look for their leader. Seeing the Demon Lord and his protectors gathered together, with Ling Yuan Zhenren by their side, they all moved closer to them.
There's a saying that if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, as if being closer to them means being safer.
Before they could even get close, the black eagle swooped down, its wings whipping up a hurricane that sent the shameless cultivators flying.
Rong Yu kept raising his spiritual energy shield, only to have it shattered by lightning. Even the most powerful true essence has its limits, while the formation draws upon the inexhaustible power of heaven and earth. Sooner or later, they would be defeated due to the depletion of their spiritual energy.
"Sister Mei, is there any way to break the formation?"
Leng Ningshuang's face was grave as she shook her head: "Breaking the formation requires a core, but he has now used himself as the core. Unless we can kill him, there is no way to break it."
Regardless of how much cultivation Saint Zhifeng himself possessed, Fu Sheng had always followed the Demon Lord, and even Xie Beiying at his peak was no match for him. In addition, a hundred years ago, he possessed Yan Lie's body and merged with his cultivation. Now, he was probably on the verge of ascension. With the support of the magic array and the protection of the power of heaven and earth, killing him was nothing short of a fool's dream!
