Chapter 231 Perfect Solution
Chapter 231 Perfect Solution
This exclamation drew everyone's attention to Xuan Cang Daoist, whose aura was chaotic and whose eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a maddened beast.
"Since I cannot escape today, you will not leave alive either!" Xuan Cang Daoist suddenly laughed wildly, his laughter filled with madness, which sent chills down everyone's spine.
As he finished speaking, the black demonic energy emanating from his body surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping his entire being.
"Oh no, everyone run!" Someone shouted, startling the stunned crowd. Ignoring their injuries, they struggled to their feet and rushed toward the temple gate.
Xuan Cang Daoist has gone mad. He intends to perish with everyone present. The cultivation technique he practices is inherently evil, and once he self-destructs, its power will be beyond imagination.
However, to everyone's horror, they found that they could not move, their legs as if welded to the ground.
Inside the main hall, the space began to twist and deform under the rampage of Xuancang Daoist's demonic energy, emitting a "sizzling" sound, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"What are we going to do? We have no way to stop a Nascent Soul cultivator from self-destructing!" Zhang Yuan cried out in terror, his voice filled with despair.
"Are we all going to die here today?" Fang Siya gripped Qi Ting's arm tightly, her face pale, her legs weak, and she could barely stand.
"We must stop him!" Master Yan Hua shouted. After recovering, his injuries had improved. Now, he struggled to channel all his spiritual power, transforming it into a blazing flame to attack Daoist Xuan Cang, attempting to interrupt his self-destruction.
Unfortunately, the flames were swallowed up by demonic energy before they could reach Xuancang Daoist.
The others, realizing the urgency of the situation, joined in, each unleashing their unique skills as they attacked Xuancang Daoist at the center of the demonic energy.
But he remained calm and composed. Facing the onslaught of the crowd, he showed no fear whatsoever, instead appearing to be ready to take on more.
Xuancang Daoist knew that if he fought with all his might, he might have a chance to escape, but that would mean losing most of his cultivation, or even returning him to square one, which he was unwilling to accept. Moreover, having been forced into such a predicament today, how could he let the person who forced him get away with it?
Surrounded by demonic energy, he smiled sinisterly, thinking, "Let these overconfident people reap what they sow!"
Just like before, everyone's attacks vanished without a trace under the devouring of demonic energy, while the demonic energy around Xuancang Daoist became even more intense.
"Oh no, everyone stop! His demonic energy can convert spiritual power into his own!" Master Yuan Hong quickly warned.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The attack just now had been delivered with all their might, and the spiritual energy they had consumed had been devoured by the demonic energy.
"Shushu!" Mo Ze was very anxious. At this moment, demonic energy filled the entire hall. He knew that it would not be difficult for Shushu to leave if she wanted to, but he also knew that she would not do so. Now he was only worried about whether Shushu could resolve the current crisis.
Lin Shushu had long known about Xuan Cang Daoist's plans through the Star Mirror, so she had been on guard. She hadn't taken any action before because she was communicating with the Star Mirror about how to break the plan.
Just then, Xuancang Daoist's body, which had been relatively normal, seemed to be torn and twisted from the inside by an invisible and violent force.
Beneath his skin, countless hideous black threads seemed to be swirling and churning wildly, stretching his skin to the point of transparency, revealing the eerie veins writhing beneath—signs of the rampaging evil power within his body.
As the power of his self-destruction continued to rise, his body was gradually enveloped in a dense layer of black light, which spread outwards as if it were a tangible substance.
Wherever it passed, space seemed to be sliced by a sharp blade, leaving fine cracks, as if the whole world was teetering on the brink of collapse under the impact of this evil force.
At the critical moment, Lin Shushu activated the Star Mirror. The Star Mirror flew in mid-air, shining brightly and releasing a mysterious and powerful force. This force instantly formed a protective shield, protecting everyone inside.
"What is that?" Many people were amazed by this sight, and hope rose in their hearts.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before, but it's very powerful."
"So, is there any hope for us?"
Although this is what everyone hopes for, no one dares to draw a conclusion.
As time passed, Xuancang Daoist's self-destruction came. With a deafening roar, the demonic energy around him erupted, releasing world-destroying power.
The powerful shockwave spread wildly outwards from Xuancang Daoist, shattering space wherever it went, and even the sturdy temple shook.
Although those present were not in mortal danger thanks to the protection of the Star Mirror, they were still affected, especially those with lower strength, who were now bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Die, all of you!!!"
As Xuancang Daoist uttered his last few words, his body instantly expanded, releasing terrifying energy that shattered the protective shield set up by the Star Mirror and was about to engulf the entire temple.
Just then, Lin Shushu suddenly sensed a powerful and mysterious energy fluctuation emanating from the Star Mirror. This energy fluctuation was different from the Star Mirror's power she was familiar with before, seemingly containing a more ancient and profound mystery.
Although Lin Shushu was not clear about it for a moment, she knew that this power was beneficial to her, so she devoted herself to it without hesitation and deeply integrated with it.
With the power of the Star Mirror amplifying her presence, a dazzling halo of stars gradually appeared around her body. These halos shimmered with an eerie light, seemingly containing boundless power.
As Lin Shushu focused her thoughts, the star halo began to slowly rotate, releasing a powerful gravitational force that gradually attracted the surrounding broken space, repairing and reorganizing it.
At the same time, a beam of light shot out from the Star Mirror, instantly enveloping Xuan Cang Daoist. This beam of light contained powerful sealing energy, which collided with Xuan Cang Daoist's self-destruction energy, producing a deafening roar.
Under the glow, Xuancang Daoist's self-destruction energy seemed to be bound by an invisible force, gradually shrinking and weakening.
Seeing this, hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts. They gritted their teeth and mobilized their remaining strength to form an unbreakable defensive line with Lin Shushu's sealing power.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the energy from Xuancang Daoist's self-destruction was finally suppressed. With a muffled bang, Xuancang Daoist's body gradually dissipated in the light, leaving only nothingness.
The terrifying energy generated by his self-destruction was completely sealed by Lin Shushu in a mysterious space, making it no longer able to pose a threat to everyone.
After the unrest subsided, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
"So...we're not going to die?"
After a long silence, someone finally broke it. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream; they had actually survived the self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator! No one would believe it if they told them!
Ignoring the grateful or awe-inspiring looks from the crowd, Lin Shushu walked towards Mo Ze and Yuan Qing.
There, Yuan Qing was already in tears.
