Su Xuan, Guo Xiong, and Li Qing stood side by side in the sky above the mountain forest. Vigorous Spiritual Energy rippled out, as if a hurricane was blowing through the mountain forest. Even the sea of trees below started to sway.
Of the three, Su Xuan was the strongest. She'd already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Transform Stage, and she had the high-grade Spirit Artifact, the Dense Water Spirit Pearl. Li Qing, on the other hand, could also use the Draconic Spirit Bracelets she'd obtained earlier. Thus, Guo Xiong was the weakest. However, the spiritual art he cultivated focused on defense, so his defense was fairly strong. The three of them working together wasn't weak at all.
With the three of them working together, their combat strength wasn't weak. However, they weren't sure if they could stop Bai Xuan. But at this moment, they couldn't just sit around and wait for death. Even if they had to fight to the death, they had to fight.
"A bunch of brats who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Bai Xuan's sinister eyes coldly glared at Su Xuan and the others. He sneered and slowly tightened his grip on his blood-red spear. His eyes suddenly turned sharp. He took a step forward and astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations erupted like a volcano.
A frightening Spiritual Energy pressure spread out.
"Attack!"
Su Xuan's eyes narrowed as she let out a low roar. She took the lead and shot forward. With a wave of her hand, the Dense Water Spirit Pearl in her hand erupted with rays of light. Waves of azure water, as heavy as a mountain, swept towards Bai Xuan like a waterfall.
"Roar!"
Li Qing also activated the Draconic Spirit Bracelets. The bracelets transformed into two enormous scarlet dragons that roared with frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
They charged towards Bai Xuan.
Guo Xiong also shouted as a dark-yellow Spiritual Energy swept out. He clenched his hand and a dark-yellow shield appeared in a flash.
The shield was engraved with mountains, and it emitted a boundless weight and steadiness.
"You're overestimating yourself!"
Bai Xuan sneered as he looked at the frightening attacks sweeping towards him.
His figure shot forward and the blood-red spear in his hand trembled. Majestic Spiritual Energy surged out like a river of blood and collided head-on with the three's attacks.
Bang!
A frightening Spiritual Energy storm condensed.
The sea of trees below.
The forest was torn apart.
A great battle.
Instantly, it exploded.
Boom!
The black demonic pillar carried with it a monstrous fiendish aura, like a peerless beast from ancient times.
It rushed into Mu Chen's Qi Sea in an incomparably barbaric manner.
As the Demonic Pillar pierced into Mu Chen's sea of energy, he felt an intense pain.
It immediately spread out as if it wanted to tear his energy sea apart.
Blood-red fiendish aura surged endlessly into his aura sea, while the black demonic pillar buzzed, seemingly announcing that it had already occupied this area.
Mu Chen's Spirit had already stood up from the Spiritual Energy light wheel with an incomparably grave expression as it looked at the fiendish aura surging over. Behind it, the Jiu You Sparrow had also stood up from the Mandala Flower. Flapping its wings that were burning with black flames, it hovered behind Mu Chen's Spirit and cautiously stared at the black demonic pillar within the fiendish aura.
"You activate the Mandala Flower, I'll hold it off for now," Jiu You said.
"Okay."
Mu Chen nodded his head. With a move of his Spirit, he descended onto the mandala flower, before sitting down. As of now, although he wasn't able to perfectly control the mandala flower that had emerged from the mysterious black paper, the latter had existed within his body for many years. Therefore, he could be considered to have some degree of compatibility with it. Therefore, he was still able to slightly activate it.
Screech!
The Jiu You Sparrow flapped its wings as a clear and long cry rang out. With a flap of its wings, the Jiu You Flames that hid the skies and covered the earth gushed out. Like a black sea of flames, it blocked the black demonic pillar that was surging with fiendish aura.
Buzz! Buzz!
Being blocked, the black demonic pillar immediately retaliated. Buzzing sounds rang out as the sea of blood grew even denser. It swept towards the black sea of flames. Both sides clashed ferociously and continuously corroded each other.
Although the Jiu You Sparrow had yet to fully recover its strength, the black demonic pillar did not seem to be at its peak state. Therefore, the ferocious clash between both sides resulted in a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
However, this stalemate was not a good thing for Mu Chen. The fiendish aura was far too overbearing. If he allowed it to continue existing in his body, it would cause significant damage to his body. Therefore, he needed to resolve this stalemate as soon as possible.
Mu Chen's Spirit quietly sat within the Mandala Flower. Although he understood the urgency of the situation, he did not panic. This was because he knew that doing so would not help the situation.
His mind gradually calmed down. Shielding himself from the outside world, he slowly sunk into the Mandala Flower.
As Mu Chen's mind sunk into the Mandala Flower, his expression gradually relaxed. An indescribable majestic and boundless mysterious feeling rippled within his heart.
The Mandala Flower blossomed with a faint dark-purple light at this moment. Its beautiful petals slowly unfurled, appearing exceptionally beautiful. However, an extremely frightening power was hidden under this beauty.
The dark-purple light gradually formed a halo that rippled around the Mandala Flower. Faintly, an ancient Sanskrit sound seemed to ring out, buzzing as it reverberated within the aura sea.
As the ancient Sanskrit sound rang out, the originally overbearing fiendish sea of blood started to ripple.
Blood runes flickered on the black demonic pillar that was hidden within the blood sea. The ancient Sanskrit sound that reverberated within the aura sea caused it to feel an indescribable sense of discomfort and unease.
However, this discomfort instead stimulated its savageness. The blood sea churned as the black demonic pillar suddenly shot out. Accompanied by a blood-red waterfall, it broke through the sea of black flames formed by the Jiu You Fire like a hot knife through butter.
"Let it come over."
The Jiu You Sparrow was instantly alarmed. It wanted to stop it again, but a voice from behind made it stop. It turned around, only to see that Mu Chen, who was seated on the Mandala Flower, had already opened his eyes. However, a dark-purple hue was present in his eyes, making them appear extremely bizarre.
Mu Chen's Spirit moved.
He leapt out from the Mandala Flower. As he leapt out, the Mandala Flower immediately erupted with rays of dark-purple light.
The light rays intertwined with each other, forming a purple net of light.
Swoosh!
The light net flew out, directly enveloping the black demonic pillar. As the purple light net enveloped it.
The fiendish sea of blood that the black demonic pillar had brought was rapidly melted away.
Buzz!
As the light net enveloped the black demonic pillar, it seemed to sense that something was amiss. Its body trembled as blood runes appeared, constantly changing its shape within the net in an attempt to break free.
However, the purple light net wasn't as simple as it seemed.
But within the light net.
There were countless mystical runes surging within.
The black demonic pillar was unable to break free.
The dark-purple Mandala Flower slowly revolved at this moment, while the black demonic pillar.
Bit by bit, it was pulled over, like prey caught by the man-eating flower.
Boom!
Boom!
At this moment, the black demonic pillar frantically resisted.
As the sea of blood surged out, the ferocious Qi that seemed to have come from ancient times actually forced the mandala flower to gradually stop.
Although the Mandala Flower was mysterious, the black demonic pillar was no pushover either.
"Jiu You Sparrow, blast it!"
Mu Chen hurriedly urged the black demonic pillar upon seeing it frantically resisting.
The Jiu You Sparrow nodded. With a flap of its wings, black flames converged, transforming into an abnormally deep black feather. Black light flowed within the black feather, and not a single black flame rose from it. However, Mu Chen could feel a terrifying power gathering within it.
Swish!
The black feather abruptly shot out, drawing a ray of light as it bombarded the black demonic pillar like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, the black demonic pillar violently trembled, and the stone pillar was sent flying. Subsequently, it was pulled into the Mandala Flower by the net of light.
When the black stone pillar was pulled into the Mandala Flower, beautiful petals rose into the air. Light runes flowed on the petals and shot out, transforming into purple chains of light that continuously wrapped around the black demonic pillar.
Rumble!
The black demonic pillar frantically struggled, shaking the purple light rune chains. But as the chains endlessly surged over, the black demonic pillar was finally sealed and could no longer move.
Mu Chen and the Jiu You Sparrow breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Mu Chen's Spirit cautiously approached. Within the Mandala Flower, the black demonic pillar stood erect, with countless purple chains of light wrapping around it. A powerful force was suppressing and sealing it.
"I've finally dealt with this big guy."
Mu Chen smiled as he looked at the shattered black demonic pillar. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he exclaimed in astonishment, "There are words on this black demonic pillar."
Mu Chen looked at the abnormally ancient and cryptic words on the black demonic pillar. His brows furrowed as he struggled to decipher them.
"Great Meru Demonic Pillar?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself, "Great Meru Demonic Pillar, is that the name of this thing?"
"You must know, right?
You've lived for so many years. "Mu Chen looked at the Jiu You Sparrow. It was obvious that the latter would know more than him.
The Jiu You Sparrow was stunned. It glared fiercely at Mu Chen and flapped its wings, "I've only just reached adulthood in the Jiu You Sparrow Tribe!"
Mu Chen was shocked when he heard this. "You're already so powerful when you've just reached adulthood?"
The Jiu You Sparrow proudly raised its slender and elegant neck and said, "Do you really think that only humans have amazing geniuses?"
Mu Chen rubbed his nose.
The Jiu You Sparrow lay down lazily. It glanced at Mu Chen and said, "However, you should first think about how to deal with the mess in your body. Although the black demonic pillar has been suppressed, there's still a large amount of demonic energy left in your body. If you don't expel it as soon as possible, your body will be corroded."
Mu Chen smiled. He was naturally aware of the situation in his body. However, he did not panic. His eyes narrowed slightly as an eager look appeared on his face.
"This demonic energy can also be considered as a form of energy. Alright, I'll need to borrow it next."
The Peerless Tang Sect.
