Li Mu controlled the six-tier Earth Element Spirit Ship, absorbing the great Magnetic Yuan, moving rapidly and silently through the air at a speed of nearly 6,500 kilometers per hour.
In less than half an hour, the Earth Element Spirit Ship stopped, hiding in the clouds, and Li Mu released his Divine Sense to observe the battle below.
The battle below was immense, with the Demon Cultivators of the Nine Demon Sect driving thousands of demonized Yao Beasts, surrounding the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, the Green-Eyed Gibbon, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Wa in one place, besieging them like an ant colony hunting, with layers of encirclement, leaving them no chance to escape.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon went all out, revealing its hundred-zhang Dragon body, and with the power of a six-tier water-element Spirit Treasure, in its turns, millions of pounds of waves appeared out of nowhere, releasing a thunderous force that violently attacked the surrounding demonized Yao Beasts.
The twenty-some-zhang tall Green-Eyed Golden Ape, revealing its true form, wore a set of golden armor and held a golden long staff. Each swing brought forth a gust of wind, and those demonized Yao Beasts struck by the golden long staff immediately splattered blood, some dying, some injured, almost none could withstand a single blow.
Xiao Wa and the Green-Eyed Gibbon were also not to be outdone. Xiao Wa burrowed underground, disappearing from sight within a short time, while spikes of earth occasionally shot out from the ground, providing support and rescue. The Green-Eyed Gibbon, on the other hand, displayed its unique fighting style with its six arms. Every punch seemed to possess endless power, with fist shadows like wind, and every heavy punch seemed capable of shattering mountains, possessing immense strength.
The demonized Yao Beast army was not afraid of death; they seemed to have no sensation and knew no fatigue.
This encirclement battle was exceptionally brutal. The Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, Green-Eyed Gibbon, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Wa, these powerful creatures, faced with the encirclement of thousands of demonized Yao Beasts, appeared exhausted. Their wounds increased, and their stamina gradually decreased. However, they did not give up resisting but continued to fight with all their might against the demonized Yao Beast army.
With Li Mu's arrival, they all perked up. Through the Spirit Control Contract Seal, they had already sensed that their master was nearby, and their combat power immediately soared.
"Damn it! Where did these four Yao Beasts get their Spirit Treasures from!"
Watching their combat power surge, still with energy to spare, Old Ancestor Xue Ming's face was ashen, and he cursed in annoyance.
The demon army he led had already paid a heavy price in this encirclement, yet they still couldn't take down those four Yao Beasts. He had initially thought they were just ordinary six-tier Yao Beasts, but the combat power they displayed far exceeded his expectations.
The armor and Spirit Treasure weapons worn by these four Yao Beasts were not ordinary items. Their strength and Aptitude were clearly far beyond the level a six-tier Yao King should possess. Such a combination of Yao Beasts was truly like a porcupine; you couldn't eat it, and instead, you got a mouthful of thorns.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming, behind the demon army, couldn't help but feel some regret. If he had known these four Yao Beasts were so difficult to deal with, he wouldn't have let the demon army provoke these four six-tier Yao Beasts.
"Commander, the demon army has suffered heavy casualties. These four six-tier Yao Beasts must have masters. Why don't we give up!"
"That's right! The Spiritual Artifacts they possess are not simple, and their combat power and Aptitude far exceed those of a six-tier Yao King, ..."
...
Several Demon Venerable subordinates all spoke to persuade him, to accept the losses of the demon army and abandon the hunting plan.
"Give up at this point? No, I want them to pay the price!"
Whether it was the Azure Moon Flood Dragon's water-element Spells, the Green-Eyed Gibbon's violent fist techniques, the Golden Ape's staff close-combat ability, or the Ink Rock Flood Lizard's earth spike technique, they all kept the demon army from getting close.
Such a battle continued for a long time. The demon army's encirclement was always ineffective, while the four Yao Beasts continuously counterattacked, relying on their tacit cooperation and powerful skills. Each counterattack made the demon army pay a heavy price.
Seeing this scene, the anger in Old Ancestor Xue Ming's heart burned hotter and hotter. He began to doubt whether his decision was correct and whether he should abandon this battle. But just as he decided to personally act and completely resolve them, an unexpected situation occurred.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, and a strong sense of crisis descended from above his head. He abruptly looked up and saw a six-tier Spirit Ship, like a giant monster, suspended in the sky.
At the bow of the ship, a vast Magnetic Yuan Aurora was rapidly gathering, forming a brilliant ball of light, emitting a soul-stirring pressure. A Divine Thought then locked onto his position, about to be fired down.
"This is... Magnetic Yuan Aurora?" Old Ancestor Xue Ming's voice was a little hoarse, shocked beyond measure. When did this Spirit Ship appear!
Not good!
The Demon Venerables below immediately reacted, letting out terrified shouts.
"Bold rat!"
"When! Quick, quick, try to block it!"
"Damn it! It's Magnetic Yuan Aurora! No!"
...
The Magnetic Yuan Aurora Cannon was about to fire, and the Demon Venerables were instantly scared out of their wits. Some brought out soul banners, some brought out bone shields, some used blood escape, and earth escape to flee, panic-stricken, scattering like birds.
"Zzzzt!" The Magnetic Yuan Aurora completed its gathering. The next moment, a sharp, magnificent, and almost invisible beam of light shot out.
The Magnetic Yuan beam carried endless power, with the strength to destroy the world. The air itself twisted for it, and it arrived in an instant.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming's eyes widened. With a wave of his hand, he only had time to open half of his Blood Origin Law Domain. The blood-colored Law Domain formed a semicircular blood shield, attempting to block the Magnetic Yuan Aurora.
However, the power of that Magnetic Yuan Aurora exceeded Old Ancestor Xue Ming's imagination. With lightning speed, it penetrated his Blood Origin Law Domain without any pause.
At the critical moment, Old Ancestor Xue Ming displayed the true strength of a Void Refining Old Ancestor. The moment his Blood Origin Law Domain was penetrated, he transformed into an extreme shadow of blood, shooting out and instantly fleeing dozens of miles.
The Magnetic Yuan beam was as swift as lightning, penetrating the Blood Origin Law Domain, its momentum undiminished, striking hard on the ground, and a massive Magnetic Yuan force erupted throughout the entire area.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, a giant storm was stirred up on the ground.
The other Demon Venerables did not have Old Ancestor Xue Ming's strength. Amidst the flying dust, some Demon Venerables had their defensive Magic Treasures shattered and were sent flying far away, some were heavily wounded and fell to the ground, half-paralyzed, and many more had their bodies torn to shreds by the massive Magnetic Yuan force, their Primordial Spirits not even having time to escape.
For a time, the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
"Qing Yue, Xiao Jin, why aren't you coming up quickly!" Li Mu's thoughts raced, and he transmitted his Divine Sense, his tone filled with anxious urging.
The four spirit beasts heard the command and flew up like lightning. The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon carried Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa, rapidly shrinking their bodies and flying towards the Earth Element Spirit Ship.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming, in a disheveled state, revealed his figure, looking up at the Spirit Ship in the sky, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming instantly flew up. With a wave of his large hand, a dark blood mass, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a hundred-zhang blood blade, carrying a sharp Aura, and fiercely slashed towards the four six-tier Yao Beasts.
Seeing this, Li Mu's heart tightened. He quickly piloted the Earth Element Spirit Ship forward, attempting to block this blood blade.
"Boom" With a loud bang, the hundred-zhang blood blade fiercely struck the Earth Element Spirit Ship's Magnetic Yuan Shield. Intense vibrations and shockwaves instantly spread, shaking the entire sky with this force.
Li Mu only felt a huge force coming from the shield, and his body was violently thrown back, but fortunately, the Earth Element Spirit Ship's Magnetic Yuan Shield successfully withstood the blood blade's attack, and the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, Xiao Jin, and the others successfully boarded the Spirit Ship.
Seeing this, Li Mu didn't bother to entangle with them. He quickly turned the Earth Element Spirit Ship around and was about to flee this battlefield.
"Where do you think you're going!" Old Ancestor Xue Ming's furious roar echoed in the sky. He transformed into a blood shadow, like a grim reaper, and in a flash, caught up with the Earth Element Spirit Ship, pursuing closely from behind, getting closer and closer.
The furious roar of the Void Refining Demon Ancestor made Li Mu's heart race. Without even looking back, he could feel Old Ancestor Xue Ming's power, like a bone-sticking maggot, pursuing relentlessly. The Earth Element Spirit Ship couldn't shake him off for a while.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming attacked with hatred, each punch carrying violent power and blood-colored light, attacks surging like a tide, each wave fiercer than the last.
"Watch me break your turtle shell!" Old Ancestor Xue Ming roared, his attacks becoming even more ferocious, each punch seemingly intending to completely destroy the Earth Element Spirit Ship.
"Boom, boom..." The Earth Element Spirit Ship vibrated incessantly, each vibration making Li Mu's heart race faster. He tried his best to control the Spirit Ship, attempting to dodge Old Ancestor Xue Ming's attacks.
However, Old Ancestor Xue Ming's attacks followed like shadows, and the Spirit Ship's Magnetic Yuan Shield was on the verge of collapse, as if it could be broken at any moment.
"Form the formation, kill the enemy!"
Li Mu summoned the Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix from the Painting World Treasure Mansion, looked at the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, and the Ginseng King, and decisively gave the order.
As Li Mu's voice fell, the spirit beasts immediately obeyed, bringing out their innate Spirit Treasures.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon was the first to attack, releasing a verdant water-colored ribbon that tumbled in the air, transforming into a huge waterfall. The waterfall seemed to pour down from the Nine Heavens, grand and unparalleled in its power, rushing towards Old Ancestor Xue Ming.
Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin was not to be outdone. The golden long staff in his hand was brought out, instantly transforming into a golden torrent that flew and smashed towards Old Ancestor Xue Ming. The might of the golden staff made the surrounding air tremble, as if it wanted to tear this entire world apart.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix - Xiao Huo brought out the skyfire cauldron. With a flap of its fiery wings, it unleashed a ball of purple refining fire. That refining fire emitted terrifying high temperatures, distorting the air, and devoured towards Old Ancestor Xue Ming. The flames contained powerful burning force, and Old Ancestor Xue Ming's figure became blurred for a moment.
Ink Rock Flood Lizard - Xiao Wa took out a small stone mountain from the rock armor on his back. With a forceful throw, the spiritual mountain's figure in the air rapidly grew larger, transforming into a huge black mountain, like a majestic peak, smashing towards Old Ancestor Xue Ming.
The Azure Jade Ginseng King, however, looked at Li Mu, blinking its eyes, appearing bewildered, not knowing what to do!
Li Mu glared at him with exasperation, ignoring him. He took out a six-tier wooden staff from the nine storage spiritual pearl, which instantly transformed into a wooden Dragon, joining the battle.
Li Mu formed the Five Elements Spell seals with his hands and, together with the spirit beasts, controlled the Five Elements six-tier spirit treasures, quickly forming a Five Elements Grand Formation in the air.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming, who was pursuing relentlessly, was suddenly enveloped by the Five Elements Grand Formation formed by the five six-tier spirit treasures.
Within the Grand Formation, the power of the Five Elements circulated: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood, circulating endlessly, rapidly transforming into a Five Elements Domain filled with murderous intent.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming was startled, his face showing surprise. He felt a powerful Five Elements force squeezing in from all directions, as if it wanted to tear him apart and crush him.
"Damn it! A Five Elements Grand Formation, how can there be such a thing!" Old Ancestor Xue Ming was both surprised and angry. He quickly cast his Blood Origin Law Domain, attempting to resist the invasion of the Five Elements Grand Formation's power. However, once the Five Elements power formed, its power was endless. The Five Elements generated each other, circulating endlessly, and its power would only grow stronger and stronger. The Grand Formation reversed directions, obscured Divine Sense, and there was no escape.
The Five Elements Grand Formation activated the Five Elements Formation power, containing terrifying murderous intent. The Five Elements power devoured the body, reversing the human body's Five Elements. Minor effects included reversal of Meridians, while severe effects included the disintegration of the Physical Body.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming was both startled and enraged, a look of terror appearing on his face. He never expected that this junior would use such a profound method of killing the enemy. The Five Elements Grand Formation was set up so precisely and completely that he, a dignified Void Refining Cultivator, could not even glimpse a chance of escape.
"Kill!"
Li Mu stared at Old Ancestor Xue Ming in the formation, roared, and then formed the formation seals with his hands, condensing a massive amount of wood-element True Yuan, pouring it with all his might into the six-tier wood-element Spirit Treasure, and into the Five Elements Grand Formation.
Upon hearing the command, the four spirit beasts beside Li Mu also poured all their True Yuan into their innate Spirit Treasures, channeling Magic Power into the Five Elements Grand Formation, continuing to boost its power.
Especially the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Wa, they gritted their teeth, their eyes flashing with resentment and anger, wishing they could devour Old Ancestor Xue Ming in the Five Elements Grand Formation alive.
This time, if Li Mu hadn't arrived in time to support them, they would have almost fallen and been demonized and enslaved. They hated this Demon Cultivator Old Ancestor who commanded the demonized Yao Beast army.
Under the full output of Li Mu and the four spirit beasts, the power of the Five Elements Grand Formation instantly surged. Within the Five Elements Grand Formation, the five-colored spiritual light became increasingly vibrant and brilliant. The entire area was now shrouded under a dazzling Five Elements light pillar, and the Five Elements power contained within it caused space itself to twist.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming, struggling within the Five Elements Grand Formation, felt a strong sense of crisis. He was horrified to discover that under the invasion of the Five Elements power, his Blood Origin Law Domain was being rapidly eroded.
The edge of the Blood Origin Law Domain was being devoured bit by bit by the Five Elements power, and the maintainable range was getting smaller and smaller. Old Ancestor Xue Ming's heart panicked, knowing that if this continued, he would eventually lose this Domain.
Old Ancestor Xue Ming quickly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood. His Blood Origin Law Domain instantly erupted with a powerful force, attempting to resist the invasion of the Five Elements power.
However, this power seemed so insignificant in front of the dazzling Five Elements light pillar.
In the blink of an eye, Old Ancestor Xue Ming's Blood Origin Law Domain was reduced to less than ten zhang in diameter. His face turned pale, and his heart was filled with despair and fear.
Just then, a sudden change occurred! (End of this chapter)
