Chapter 161: Chapter 162: Breaking Through the Formation
At that moment, Lin Xianzhi's hair also turned snow white suddenly, different from the white of his own transformation. The white he now bore was the extreme white of old age.
He had reversed his cultivation technique!
All for one more sword strike.
His sword, at this very moment, changed from a blue-golden lotus to a golden-blue lotus.
The name was inverted, but to Lin Xianzhi, it was more familiar, also more deadly, and even more fierce.
The entire sky became a domain dominated by his sword!
Sword Qi soared for thirty thousand miles!
One strike's cold light chilled nineteen provinces!
The myriad lotus Sword Intents almost in a single encounter sliced off an arm of a Demon Cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, who only escaped by using the Blood Escape Technique.
Lin Xianzhi didn't pursue, taking Lin Shiming and Lin Houyuan with him, also rushing towards the outer periphery of the Formation.
At this time, Old Demon Chen was extremely ragged, blasted by the self-destruction of a Spirit Beast, with his face full of bloodthirsty and murderous intent.
"Foolish!"
Old Demon Chen's cold laughter soon saw its results. The Golden Fiend Thunder indeed blew open a wide gap, but that very gap was directly barred by three Heavenly Demons, which disappeared, turning their vanishing bodies back into black smoke and forming a new screen for the Formation.
The Formation remained as solid as ever. The Golden Horned Green Ox charged at it, causing the entire black screen to cave in, yet three more Heavenly Demons coalesced to continue barring it.
Even the Golden Horned Green Ox was, instead, enveloped by the Heavenly Demons, beginning to corrode its body and bleed profusely.
The Heavenly Demons, as though having taken a tonic, gave excited, cackling roars once more.
On the other side, Lu Changming and Ye Mingqiu nearly met the same fate.
The Ten Child Heavenly Demons Formation truly lived up to its reputation as the flagship Third Rank Supreme Grade Formation of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Almost breached at several moments, it was instantly repaired; and now with their True Yuan exhausted, they were overtaken by pursuing Demon Cultivators, facing even more fierce oppression. Among them, Lu Changming suffered the worst fate. Due to self-destructing a Spirit Beast and a Spirit Contract, the backlash upon his Divine Sense was extremely severe.
If it weren't for Ye Mingqiu's continuous eruptions of power, Old Demon Chen would have nearly crushed Lu Changming to death.
"Unleash the sword!" Lin Shiming shouted, and Lin Xianzhi responded instantly.
A Qinglian Sword, like a bloom of void Green Lotus unfolding, countless Sword Qi swept out like a sea of swords, surging towards the Ten Child Heavenly Demons Formation.
And almost at the same time as the Formation, three Xue Sha Thunders were fiercely thrown out by Lin Shiming's hand.
"Useless!" laughed the Demon Cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, shaking his head.
Sure enough, after the attack, four Heavenly Demons appeared in the Formation, dissipating into black mist to repair it.
In that instant, everyone understood that without a force capable of surpassing the power of ten Heavenly Demons, the Formation could not be breached.
And the power of ten Heavenly Demons, estimated, would be equivalent to that of the early stage of Purple Mansion.
The Formation remained unbroken, plunging the Lin Family into crisis once again.
Just then, from the Spirit Cave in the vein, several blood corpses suddenly flew into the cave.
Following that, a figure at the peak of Foundation Establishment, Xu Daolai, was seen charging with a Three-Headed Fire Snake, except now the Fire Snake had only two heads left, the third one ripped brutally off.
Xu Daolai didn't even glance at the others, driving the Three-Headed Fire Snake straight towards the exterior of the Formation at terrifying speed, like a meteorite smashing viciously into the black screen.
Almost at the same moment Xu Daolai burst out, from deep underground, like a cave full of zombies, first three golden Iron Corpses charged towards Xu Daolai, followed by robed figures emerging, with more blood corpses appearing behind them.
Corpse Refining Sect came with four people in total, one at the perfection of Foundation Establishment, who was also the owner of the Golden Corpse, one at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and two at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Four cultivators, yet they possessed nearly twenty third-rank blood corpses.
In an instant, Lin Gang and Lu Changming, among others, became even more desperate. Then, everyone looked towards Xu Daolai, hoping only that he could break the Ten-Child Heavenly Demon Formation.
However, the fiery meteor erupted with unrivaled force, eventually conjuring nine Heavenly Demons.
In the end, it did not reach ten Heavenly Demons.
The formation breakthrough failed; the dark curtain formation remained intact, and the three Golden Corpses immediately entangled Xu Daolai and his Three-Headed Fire Snake.
"Fellow Daoists, the four of us must attack the formation together. A strike that even ten Heavenly Demons cannot withstand will do, otherwise, we will all be turned into corpses by that Golden Corpse Child!" Xu Daolai finally spoke out loudly.
His face was ghastly pale, and both the corners of his mouth and his clothes were smeared with blood, clearly having sustained many injuries in the mine vein.
The Golden Corpse Child he mentioned was none other than the leading Foundation Establishment practitioner in the Corpse Refining Sect, renowned among the sect's Foundation Establishment disciples for controlling three peak third-rank blood corpses.
In addition to the Three-Headed Fire Snake, Xu Daolai also took out several supreme grade third-rank magic artifacts. Possessing the support of the Purple Mansion, his treasures were all exceedingly lavish, ranking him as one of the true inheritors in the Spirit Beast Sect.
"Golden Corpse Child, strike quickly!" Elder Demon Chen also roared furiously. If Xu Daolai managed to break out, it was indeed possible for him to escape, and this time, with several hundred superior grade Spirit Stones, it was very likely that a Purple Mansion cultivator would catch up.
After Elder Demon Chen spoke, he also steered a black millstone, smashing it towards Xu Daolai and the others.
The Golden Corpse Child sharply blew his flute, and the three golden corpses transformed into a flash of golden light that vanished. In the next moment, they violently collided with the Three-Headed Fire Snake.
The fierce battle nearly turned the situation upside down.
And just at that moment, Lin Shiming also found an opportunity and began to form hand signs again. A sea of purple vines grew out, covering the sky like a vine ocean.
Rushing towards the encircling demon cultivators.
Lin Xianzhi also resumed his attacks, yet both seemed like final, powerless, and tragic counterattacks before death.
With no more Golden Fiend Thunder left, Lin Xianzhi grew increasingly aged, while the demon cultivators were in no hurry at all. With the Golden Corpse Child and Elder Demon Chen present, who could break through the Ten-Child Heavenly Demon Formation?
The terrifying battle erupted once again, and Lu Changming directly ordered his last third-rank late-stage Spirit Beast to rush to its death, while Lin Gang fiercely commanded the Golden Horned Green Ox to charge at the black millstone, ultimately being blown to pieces.
Additionally, one head of Xu Daolai's Three-Headed Fire Snake wrapped itself around the three golden corpses in the next moment, being brutally severed.
Once more, the three gathered their full strength, their various magic artifacts crashing against the black curtain formation, creating thunderous booms that shattered on the Ten-Child Heavenly Demon Formation's screen.
However, just then, Elder Demon Chen took out a black banner. At a critical moment, he enveloped the attacked area, with countless tiny demons flying out, suicidally blocking the assaults.
In the end, the attack from Xu Daolai and the others barely managed to shatter ten Heavenly Demons.
The formation still did not break.
A wave of utter despair overcame the four, with Elder Demon Chen laughing heartily.
Today, none of the Zhao Kingdom's cultivators shall remain here!
And at that moment, only to see that Lin Shiming fiercely transmitted a message to Lin Xianzhi, then suddenly, a swarm of Soul-Devouring Ants flew out, gnawing a hole tens of meters wide through the formation curtain.
Three supreme grade third-rank Spirit Boats practically flew out of the formation simultaneously, each controlled by Lin Shiming, Lin Xianzhi, and Lin Houyuan.
The three went in separate directions, with Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming each fleeing on their own, while only Lin Houyuan took Qi Cultivators with him.
Of the thousands of Soul-Devouring Ants, he only retracted eight hundred, leaving two hundred to continue maintaining the breach in the Ten-Child Heavenly Demon Formation.
Seeing this from afar, Xu Daolai, Lu Changming, and the others were overjoyed and charged out with all their might.
