At that moment, bursts of light appeared beneath their feet.
Shen Sangruo and the snake woman then discovered that there was another formation on the platform, with red and black light that was eerie and unsettling.
The snake woman tried it, but she couldn't break the formation either.
This was the "warm water" that the great demon had prepared for them.
They tried to attack, but the light on the array became even brighter. They clearly felt their souls draining away faster, so they quickly stopped.
This formation can only be broken using the correct methods; it cannot be attacked by force.
The barrier traps them within the formation, gradually weakening and consuming their souls. In the end, they will become living corpses without souls.
The Great Demon could then easily obtain that wisp of divine soul power.
After understanding all this, the snake woman's face clearly darkened.
Her voice was somewhat irritated, "Attacks are useless against the barrier. The great demon is so far away from us, our attacks can't even touch him. Are we just supposed to wait to have our souls drained?"
The snake woman excels in melee combat and cannot attack the powerful demon on the other side.
Even though she was already a powerful demon on the verge of becoming a god, she was helpless in the face of such a situation. For the first time, she felt useless and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.
Shen Sangruo's Falling Clouds Fire Technique is a ranged attack, but as we just saw, her attack didn't even reach the Great Demon.
Even if the flames reach it, they will only reach the edge of the fire, and the damage will not be high.
Furthermore, the dense demonic energy layered upon layer, diminishing the damage from the glaze fire.
Although neither of them has been affected yet except for the little koi, their expressions are unusually solemn.
From any perspective, it's a dead end.
Shen Sangruo threw a piece of spiritual jade marrow to the snake woman so that she could temporarily cope with the extraction of her soul.
She grasped another piece of spiritual jade marrow and absorbed the power of her soul, which slightly eased the situation of the little koi in her sea of consciousness.
Then put the dodder flower fairy, the swift snail, and the giant insects into a cloth bag and place it next to the spiritual jade marrow.
She placed that wisp of divine soul power in her Qiankun bag, so the formation could not affect the divine soul power through the Qiankun bag.
That wisp of divine soul power must absolutely not be taken out, nor can it be used to strengthen their divine souls.
Otherwise, the formation would directly draw the power of the soul to the Great Demon.
Shen Sanruo pondered every possible way to escape from here.
They were unable to break through the barriers that restricted them or the arrays that extracted their souls.
The only good news is that Immortal Lord Changli and the others must have discovered the anomaly and are probably already trying to break through the barrier to rescue them.
But whether they can break through the barrier, and whether they can find them after breaking through the barrier, is another matter entirely.
Shen Sangruo never places all her hopes on others.
She can only rely on herself now.
After much thought, the only option left was to target the Great Demon, who was the only possible breakthrough in this deadly situation.
"No matter what, let's give it a try." Chen Sanruo held a feather fan in her other hand, her sharp gaze fixed on the great demon hidden in the darkness opposite her.
The snake woman retreated behind her, giving her room to maneuver.
This time, she unleashed all her spiritual power, wielding five fans in succession, each one more powerful than the last.
The flames surged forward like waves.
At first, it was unstoppable, but as the distance increased, the demonic energy became thicker and thicker.
The demonic energy neutralized the power of the glazed fire, continuously weakening it.
These demonic energies are the Great Demon's primary means of survival.
Liu Huo's speed slowed down, its light gradually dimmed, and finally it stopped only a dozen meters in front of the Great Demon.
The Great Demon seemed somewhat surprised, but that was quickly replaced by mockery in his eyes.
Shen Sanruo knew clearly that this was the limit of her Liu Huo, just as she had expected.
The Falling Sunset Fire Technique deals area-of-effect damage; the larger the area, the higher the spiritual energy it consumes.
Even though she tried her best to narrow the range of her attack and concentrated the fire within a two-meter-wide area, she still couldn't hit the great demon in the distance.
"Still not working?" The light in the snake woman's eyes seemed to dim, just like the light in Liu Huo's eyes.
But the snake woman didn't show it on her face, only slightly curving her lips at Shen Sangruo, "It's almost there, it's already very good."
However, that smile seemed somewhat forced.
The array was extracting souls at an increasingly rapid pace, and even the Spirit Jade Marrow could not resist it.
The little koi in Shen Sangruo's sea of consciousness had become transparent. Zhu Miao and Kui Niu, because of their contract with her, had their souls suppressed and were in a bad situation.
She could only recall them all back to her sea of consciousness and then temporarily seal it.
She managed to withstand the extraction of her soul on her own and temporarily protect it.
The Kui Niu and Zhu Miao in her sea of consciousness were unwilling and struggled to break free of her sea of consciousness to share the burden with her.
She forcibly suppressed it with a contract.
The spiritual power within the jade marrow had been depleted, and she used the remaining portion to protect the dodder flower fairy, the giant insect, and the swift snail.
At this rate, their souls will be completely absorbed by the formation in less than two days.
The situation has deteriorated to the extreme.
Everything was proceeding according to the Great Demon's plan, and the Great Demon couldn't help but reveal a greedy look in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that the two of them could hold out for so long.
He initially estimated that he could turn them into living corpses within half a day.
But the two of them can still barely stand.
The snake demon's strength was close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but what surprised him was the female cultivator who was only at the early Nascent Soul stage.
It seems her spirit is very strong.
This meant that the Great Demon could absorb even more divine soul power, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"The power of the soul will soon be mine, and I'll be able to leave this hellish place soon, hehehe..."
An eerie laugh echoed through the space, as if it had already pronounced a death sentence on Shen Sangruo and the snake woman.
The constant withdrawal of her soul caused Shen Sanruo's mind to become somewhat dizzy. She stared at the opposite side, still pondering a way to break the deadlock.
The damage from the Falling Clouds and Glazed Fire Technique is too scattered. If one could concentrate one's spiritual power, perhaps one could break through the demonic energy, reach and kill the great demon.
How can I concentrate my spiritual energy?
Her fingers unconsciously twirled the feather fan; the soft, blue feathers moved slightly even without wind.
Shen Sanruo seemed to suddenly remember something, and her hand paused.
By the way, Immortal Lord Changli used his protective feathers and dragon tendons to transform the feather fan into a bow and arrow.
The modified bow and arrow will be able to concentrate spiritual power, which will surely pierce through the black mist and hit the great demon!
Seeing her expression, the snake woman realized that she might have already thought of a way to break the deadlock.
I felt inexplicably relieved.
After all, Shen Sangri was someone who could see through her disguise and deduce the truth behind it from the slightest clues.
"Have you thought of a way?" The snake woman walked up to her and lowered her voice.
"Hmm." Shen Sanruo nodded and told the snake woman what she was going to do next, "Transform my magic weapon into a bow and arrow, and we will have a chance to survive."
