Chapter 1046: The Underworld Serpent Swallows the Moon
Elder Tian, Old Ancestor Tianfeng, and others were also attracted by the terrifying commotion and flew out of the Tiangang Fire Spirit Formation.
These people also looked at the sudden arrival of Grand Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua with surprise.
Without saying a word, the two great cultivators used their spiritual treasures and released powerful attacks, instantly destroying most of the surrounding blood-colored ghost mist in the square and suppressing the Ghost King Sect cultivators.
"Haha, these two have arrived." The ugly-faced youth laughed wildly. Most of the other old monsters also showed joy.
This meant that they no longer feared the Ghost King Sect and could even wipe out these people in one fell swoop.
As for Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya, they also returned to this side one after another.
Three spiritual treasure-level treasures erupted with powerful spiritual power fluctuations before their eyes. The soaring spiritual pressure spread in all directions.
Looking at it, countless spiritual lights flickered on one side of the square, and green Yin fire soared into the sky on the other. A clear dividing line formed at the junction.
Thunderous drumbeats continued to resound, and in the roar, dazzling sword light cut through the space, pushing the huge flying skull ghost that spewed Yin fire back continuously.
Seeing this, Sect Master Yan's face became extremely ugly. He quickly thumped his chest, spat out a large mouthful of blood essence, and activated the dual hand incantation, condensing dense blood-colored runes, turning them into streams of blood-colored spiritual light that rushed into the Ghost King Banner.
The Ghost King Banner's original green surface also instantly turned blood-red. Amidst the wails of ghosts and wolves, it released even more Yin Sha(阴煞: Yin evil) energy, transforming into five or six huge ink-black wind clusters. It temporarily resisted the attacks of Grand Priest Luo Ming and the other.
But after only resisting for a few breaths, the green Yin fire was still pushed back continuously by countless red sound waves and sword lights.
Seeing that Sect Master Yan was suppressed and defeat was only a matter of time.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the Heavenly Ghost transformed by Yan Shi Ming slammed his ghost hands together, and the ghost seal in his hand released a faint green light.
As the light flickered, Yan Shi Ming's transparent Heavenly Ghost body rushed directly into the ghost seal.
This treasure crazily enlarged, transforming into a hundred-zhang-high seal in the blink of an eye. The hideous ghost statues on it opened their ghost eyes one after another. As if they had come to life, they emitted a series of cackling ghost laughter.
The treasure spun around in the air and disappeared directly. The next moment, Grand Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua felt a darkness above their heads, and a rumbling vibration came.
The huge ghost seal pressed down like a small mountain. It seemed that he wanted to break through their attacks with this.
Luo Ming and the two's expressions changed slightly, and they were about to take action when a loud laugh came from the other side, "You two don't need to be distracted."
Immediately afterward, several dragon roars were heard from the edge of the square, or rather, from the Tiangang Fire Spirit Formation.
Amidst the loud noise, nine huge fire dragons, thirty to forty zhang long, flew out of the fire formation. They sprayed dazzling pillars of fire between shaking their heads and wagging their tails.
They blocked the huge seal at once.
At the same time, Old Ancestor Tianfeng, the ugly-faced youth, and others would not just watch and all attacked. The current situation was the best time for everyone to join forces to kill the Ghost King Sect.
In an instant, five or six people flew into the high sky and released magic weapons, spiritual lights, and other attacks fiercely, striking towards the declining Sect Master Yan.
These Nascent Soul old monsters were very shrewd, and they didn't get close to that side, but released attacks from a distance. They only sought to cause some interference to Sect Master Yan.
It had a bit of a meaning of beating a drowning dog.
Don't underestimate this interference, high-level cultivators fight change in an instant, a little interference may determine the victory or defeat.
Sure enough, Sect Master Yan's expression was furious. Seeing several magic weapon attacks with flashing spiritual lights coming, he quickly took off a black leather bag from his waist. He shook the bag mouth downwards quickly, and hundreds of black qi(气: Qi) sprayed out from it.
But it was not attacking spiritual light, only to see the black qi(气: Qi) scattered in the air, and there appeared a hundred or so figures wearing iron armor.
These people were emitting corpse evil energy all over their bodies, and they were actually zombies. Most of them were bronze armor zombies with Foundation Establishment strength. But there were also twenty or thirty high-level zombies.
In particular, there were still three zombies comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators.
This group of zombies rushed out and blocked the attacks of those old monsters without fear of death. For a time, many people were entangled by these zombies.
But in just one face-to-face, most of these hundreds of zombies were killed or injured.
After all, everyone was Nascent Soul old monsters, and these naturally couldn't stop Elder Tian and others.
Sect Master Yan obviously also knew this situation, while releasing the zombies. He shouted. "Ghost Chariot, why don't you summon that monster to stop these people."
On the other side, Ghost Chariot Elder, who was fighting fiercely with the ancient demon, also roared in the midst of his busy schedule. The black scythe in Ghost Chariot Elder's hand danced wildly, instantly splitting out fifty or sixty thick blade lights, forcing back the entangled ancient demon.
Ghost Chariot Elder opened his mouth and spat out a mass of blood light, inside which was wrapped a black jade bottle about a zhang in size. This bottle flashed and flew into the high sky, bursting with a bang.
A mass of ink-black liquid appeared in the air. Ghost Chariot Elder waved his hand and slapped upwards, and the black liquid was scattered, turning into countless droplets that scattered.
The nearest ancient demon quickly dodged, avoiding the splashing water droplets.
But those water droplets did not have any power after flying out, but all fell on the ground, looking like ordinary water droplets.
Others naturally also noticed Ghost Chariot Elder's sudden move. Combining it with Sect Master Yan's shout just now, these water droplets were obviously not ordinary water droplets.
At this moment, Zhang Ling had just shattered five or six bronze armor zombies that rushed in front of him with sword light, and also glanced towards Ghost Chariot Elder's side, sensing that the black water droplets that fell were emitting a fishy stench.
These water droplets only had weak Yin Sha(阴煞: Yin evil) spiritual power lingering on them. Except for some fishy smell, they didn't seem to be any powerful means.
But the Ghost King Sect people had been surrounded by everyone. Under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible to release any means to play tricks on them.
These water droplets must have something unusual?
Two strange howls came from behind, and two more disheveled zombies comparable to Golden Core cultivators pounced. Zhang Ling flicked his fingers casually, and shot out a yellow light to fix the two zombies, and with a twist of the sword light, the two zombies were instantly cut into several pieces.
Just at this moment, Zhang Ling suddenly shook all over, and a layer of white hair sweat rose on his back. He turned around instantly, but there was nothing behind him, no enemies.
The strange feeling shocked him, but scanning around with his spiritual sense, there were no enemies that could threaten him.
Something's wrong, Zhang Ling immediately realized that something was wrong. Because he moved his mind, the Xuan Turtle not far behind him. Just now also had a feeling of being watched, as if being stared at by some fierce beast.
The dangerous feeling just now was definitely not his illusion.
"Leave here quickly." At this time, a hasty voice came from Zhang Ling's mind again. It was Blue Sparrow's reminder.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling no longer delayed, and a layer of lightning instantly covered his body, and he used the Lightning Escape Technique to reach Xuan Turtle's side in one fell swoop.
Xuan Turtle was controlled by his second primordial spirit, so naturally understood the meaning. Its body shrank suddenly, turning into a mini turtle and drilling into his sleeve robe.
Immediately afterward, Zhang Ling used the Lightning Escape Technique again, flying towards his Tianfeng senior brother. Blue Sparrow actually reminded him that there must be some danger here.
But to leave, he couldn't leave his Tianfeng senior brother alone. After all, in the sect, his senior brother treated him pretty well.
Since he was leaving, he naturally had to take his senior brother with him. He had the Void Insect, not to mention leaving this place. It was still easy to break through the blood light restriction outside.
With a few flashes of lightning, Zhang Ling approached his Tianfeng senior brother. He immediately transmitted his voice, "Senior brother, do you also sense danger."
"That's right, I did feel like I was being stared at by something just now, but this feeling was only fleeting, could it be that Junior Brother also sensed it."
"It seems it's not an illusion, there may be some danger here. How about senior brother leave this place with me first?"
"Okay"
Tianfeng senior brother was naturally also a shrewd person, and understood this matter. With a wave of his hand incantation, he immediately shook off the three or four Golden Core level zombies surrounding him. Directly turned into a green light and approached Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling also summoned the Void Insect at the same time. The Void Insect neighed and flew out of his sleeve robe, releasing black and white spiritual lights in front of him, and cast spatial divine powers.
Roar!
Suddenly, a earth-shattering roar entered his ears, this sound was like thunder, and like a dragon's roar. It came from all directions.
Hearing this sound, Zhang Ling shook all over, and the spiritual power on his body actually had a feeling of being out of control. Even the Void Insect was affected to a certain extent, and almost fell from the air.
He quickly grabbed the Void Insect.
At this time, there was another loud noise, along with a powerful airflow blowing up from under his feet. This airflow rushed upwards like a violent high wind.
Zhang Ling was blown away at once, and even Old Ancestor Tianfeng, who was only ten zhang away from him, was blown to the other side at the same time.
Not only that, but other Nascent Soul old monsters also changed their expressions greatly under the impact of this airflow, and quickly defended themselves.
Grand Priest Luo Ming, Sect Master Yan, the ancient demon and others were also greatly affected.
This violent airflow rushed up from below the square, and the strong wind swept around.
Even the attack power of the several spiritual treasures that were still deadlocked in the square was blown into colorful spiritual lights and scattered everywhere in the strong wind.
Only Sect Master Yan laughed wildly in this strong wind. "Nether Serpent, you are really here. My Ghost King Sect has come to fulfill the promise of ten thousand years ago and brought back the Nether Maiden."
With this person's voice, the entire palace complex shook violently, and cracks opened on the ground. Even the layer of blood-colored restriction outside the palace complex that trapped everyone flickered on and off, and it was destroyed.
Strands of black qi(气: Qi) floated out of the cracks on the ground. For a time, as many as ten million black qi(气: Qi) emerged from the ground.
This scene shocked everyone, wondering what had happened again.
Countless black qi(气: Qi) were wrapped in powerful air currents and rushed directly into the sky. For a time, the entire sky became extremely dark, blocking the blood-colored moonlight.
"Nether…."
An ancient and long chant came from the sky. The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the eardrums of the listeners ached.
Zhang Ling looked up and saw that the darkness above his head was twisting and changing like waves. It actually turned into an extremely huge black serpent.
This giant serpent looked as long as several thousand zhang, coiled in the sky like a giant dragon, emitting endless black qi(气: Qi), like an ancient demon.
At first glance, this giant serpent had three heads, each with a single eye. Zhang Ling was stunned by this image.
Wasn't this the three-headed Nether Serpent they encountered last on the stone steps when they came up before.
Could it be that this even larger three-headed Nether Serpent is the true form of this monster.
In the sky, only the middle head of the three-headed Nether Serpent opened a blood-colored single eye, and the blood eye had not fully opened.
Zhang Ling felt that countless afterimages appeared in front of his eyes, and he had a feeling of dizziness. He was shocked and quickly guarded his mind, slightly lowering his head.
At this time, he also heard a scream, obviously someone was affected.
Roar~
Another long hiss, the three-headed Nether Serpent coiled in the air began to swim. The middle snake head opened its dark mouth, and a stream of black water gushed out. The rushing water crashed down instantly.
It was like a torrential rain, and even more like a crack in the sky, with a wide waterfall.
Zhang Ling quickly used the Lightning Escape Technique to avoid the impact of the water. His speed was very fast, but the water covered a thousand zhang, encompassing the entire mountain. Only after escaping hundreds of zhang, he was swept into the water and tumbling in the water. Like a drowning person, unable to control himself.
At this time, he wanted to control the Void Insect to create space cracks to avoid it. But as soon as he moved his mind, he found that the Void Insect he was holding in his hand had fainted. Obviously, the spirit insect was stunned the moment the giant serpent opened its eyes.
This situation made Zhang Ling's heart fall to the bottom.
He had to desperately operate his spiritual power and release the Xuanling Shield, Huangluo Umbrella and other protective shields to wrap himself layer by layer. The rumbling water rushed for seven or eight breaths, and everyone had disappeared.
Roar~ Nether!
The giant serpent raised its three huge snake heads and roared to the sky, like a giant dragon roaring, but the sound had a bit of a mourning and pain.
If there were still cultivators nearby at this moment, they would find that on the giant serpent's body, there appeared semi-transparent silver chains, locking most of its body.
These silver chains were very unreal, vaguely appearing and disappearing occasionally, flashing with silver-gray lightning, but there was no sound of thunder and lightning.
The giant serpent swung its huge tail and broke free from the entanglement of countless chains in one fell swoop, and rushed straight up. It rushed tens of thousands of zhang high in an instant. An even more amazing scene appeared, the three-headed Nether Serpent, with its three heads wide open, spewed out a large piece of black qi(气: Qi), and a terrifying sound of wind and thunder resounded in the sky.
The black qi(气: Qi) filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire sky. In the black mist, the Nether Serpent's head swayed, and it swallowed the three rounds of blood moon in the sky.
At the same time, silver light flashed in the sky, and gray-silver chains appeared again, like ten thousand thunder lights flashing. The three-headed Nether Serpent's huge body twisted a few times in pain, and the entire body was pulled down from the high altitude of tens of thousands of zhang.
With a loud bang, the 90,000-zhang-high Shuo Yue Mountain shook suddenly. And the first Nether Serpent had turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
Only the more dilapidated palace complex remained on the mountaintop. After a good while, the black mist in the sky dissipated, and a sliver of light returned. The source of the light was still the three round moons in the sky.
However, the three blood moons, which had been brightly illuminated with crimson light just moments ago, were now dim and lusterless, as if all their lunar essence had been drained away. They looked blurry, like they were made of paper...
