Chapter 2438

Boom!

Ma Liang's body surface suddenly surged with strange golden and blue runes, and then a layer of golden radiance burst forth from his body, but a flash of blue light appeared, and another layer of blue flame emerged from the golden light, and soon within the blue flame, specks of golden light floated out of thin air...

One layer of golden radiance, one layer of blue flame, the two intertwining and flashing wildly, in an instant, who knows how many layers overlapped on Ma Liang's body.

The speed of transformation was such that even Yin Gangzi and others standing not far away, after staring for a moment, felt dizzy and disoriented.

These Mahayana powerhouses were all startled in their hearts, and in unison each became extremely cautious.

Ming Zun also slightly changed his expression, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes.

At this moment, Ma Liang let out a loud laugh, the radiance on his body suddenly solidified into a brilliant golden color, then he took a sudden step forward, his body "whooshed" and instantly expanded countless times, transforming into a golden giant over a thousand zhang tall, and at the same time, with just a slight change of his hand seal, golden spirit patterns appeared on his skin, and specks of golden light surged out in the nearby void, while another force of law enveloped the entire sky.

The law power of the Two Instruments Dust Array, under the impact of this force, became extremely chaotic, almost instantly weakened by more than half, barely able to maintain its cohesion.

"Spirit Domain! He can actually display Spirit Domain power in this realm. Impossible, under the influence of the realm power, how could he achieve this?" Wu Ling Lady exclaimed in disbelief, her face showing utter shock.

Yin Gangzi and the others, as Mahayana powerhouses, naturally recognized the origin of Ma Liang's divine ability after his transformation, their expressions changed dramatically, and some even became fearful.

Could it be that this true immortal can activate Spirit Domain, a power only usable at the peak of a true immortal, meaning his strength has already been fully restored and he is no longer suppressed by the realm power?

Even though these people are proud and arrogant, facing a true immortal whose strength is no longer suppressed, they still have some self-awareness and know that even if they join forces, they have no hope of victory.

"Hehe, what is this Spirit Domain? This is merely a trifle; the true Spirit Domain of this immortal will soon be shown to you, these lower realm ants. If you still have any divine abilities, now is the time to unleash them, otherwise, when I make my move, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." The golden giant's body shone with golden light, one eye emitting a piercing golden glare, the other rolling with blue flame, speaking with a thunderous rumble as he pointed one hand suddenly toward the sky.

With a muffled boom, a golden light pillar shot up from his fingertip, flashed briefly, and then vanished into the nine heavens beyond the clouds.

The next moment, the void suddenly trembled, and those golden light points instantly transformed into clusters of golden halos that exploded outward, almost dyeing the entire void a crimson-gold color.

The ground below also cracked open with golden fissures in a tremor of earth and mountain, and golden volcanoes rapidly spewed out from the cracks, with torrents of golden lava flowing forth.

For a moment, the entire world seemed to have turned into a golden ocean.

This terrifying scene caused Yin Gangzi and others to feel their hearts sink.

"Fellow Daoists, do not fear. Although I do not know how he can still display Spirit Domain power, it absolutely cannot be sustained for long, otherwise he would have used it directly earlier. Why bother only using puppets and entangling us for so long?" Ming Zun, seeing this, looked equally grim, but immediately shouted loudly to awaken them.

Wu Ling Lady and the others, after hearing this, also felt it made some sense. But after exchanging a few glances, they still saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.

At this moment, the golden giant opposite stood still with eyes slightly closed, as if adjusting his internal magic power.

However, the range of the golden Spirit Domain was now spreading outward at a visible speed in all directions. Ming Zun and others nearby had to hastily fly backward, daring not to be swept in by the golden radiance emanating from the Spirit Domain.

Yin Gangzi steadied his stance, his face grim, his eyes rolling a few times, then suddenly asked Ming Zun, who had also landed nearby:

"Given the opponent's current strength, I fear we cannot hold him back; a moment's carelessness could still lead to our demise. Ming Brother, shouldn't you also employ some other trump cards? I, Yin, am not prepared to have fellow Daoists rely solely on the Two Instruments Dust Array as our only killer move."

"Hmph, Yin Daoist, rest assured. Since this immortal intends to use true immortal divine abilities, I naturally will not stand by. Regarding the Spirit Domain, I have indeed prepared two countermeasures and will certainly not let fellow Daoists go to their deaths in vain." Ming Zun snorted, replied without hesitation.

As his words fell, he took a deep breath, pinched a seal with one hand, shook his sleeves, and instantly black crystal beads flew out one after another, flashing continuously, dancing unpredictably in the nearby void, like blooming black giant flowers.

"Pfft."

After these black flowers flashed, they formed a vast, dark, misty light array, which expanded wildly, enveloping Yin Gangzi and others beneath it, and firmly resisting the golden radiance emanating from the opponent's Spirit Domain, preventing it from spreading further this way.

Simultaneously, within the black light array, various black symbols surged continuously, faintly transmitting Buddhist chant-like sounds, causing those who heard it to feel an inexplicable sense of bodily ease and soulful intoxication.

"Ultimate Bliss Buddhist River Realm! This is not the Buddhist protective treasure of this realm, is it? How did it fall into your hands, Fellow Daoist?" The lady in palace attire, upon clearly seeing the black light array, exclaimed with both surprise and joy.

"Hehe, this treasure was obtained by our alliance by chance. Although it cannot compare to the opponent's Spirit Domain, it should be sufficient to temporarily protect a few fellow Daoists. If it still fails, I have other means to deal with it." Ming Zun chuckled.

"Good, since Fellow Daoist truly has countermeasures, then I will accompany you in another go. If we can truly slay this immortal, taking some risk is worth a try." The bald, large man with half his face destroyed, after some consideration, also made up his mind to say this, his remaining half-face twisting and appearing increasingly ferocious.

"I will also stay behind, but I say this first: if later it becomes clear that joining forces cannot overcome the opponent, I will not remain here to die in vain." Wu Ling Lady said this coldly.

Yin Gangzi and the others, after weighing the situation, although they said nothing else, clearly all had the idea of first testing the opponent's Spirit Domain power before deciding on other actions.

Ming Zun naturally knew exactly what these Mahayana powerhouses were thinking, but after a smile, he did not point it out, instead slightly moving his lips to transmit a voice to them:

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoists. If we truly are no match for this immortal, I will not let you continue to stay and die in vain. But do not forget the existence of Fellow Daoist Xuan Jiu Ling; as long as we create a good opportunity for him, our hope of slaying this opponent is still considerable."

Wu Ling Lady and the other Mahayana cultivators, upon hearing this, felt stirred in their hearts.

Given Xuan Jiu Ling's former fame for slaying nine-headed true spirits, combined with his constant observation from the side, it indeed gave them an added two points of confidence.

At this moment, the golden giant opposite finally reopened his eyes, his internal magic power having now transformed into immortal spirit power, enabling him to display genuine immortal secret techniques without concern.

If these ants opposite think he intends to use Spirit Domain to attack, they are utterly mistaken.

For an immortal, the Spirit Domain, while usable as a kind of innate divine ability for attack, has a greater use in aiding cultivation. This time, he has no intention of directly using its attack.

Ma Liang, thinking this, glanced at the dark, misty light array opposite, then immediately let out a cold laugh, and with one hand grabbed downward into the blood river void.

Boom—!

The blood river, surging from both sides toward the same point, condensed in a flash of blood light into a massive, square seal.

The seal's surface rolled with blood flames, and on all four sides, faintly inscribed were countless densely packed figures of people, insects, fish, and beasts.

As the crystal light flowed, these patterns writhed lifelike, as if they were living things, making one's flesh creep just to look at them.

This treasure is none other than the Myriad Spirits Blood Seal, which he completed after countless hardships, having blood-sacrificed countless powerful living beings.

Now, with immortal spirit power, he can exert half of this treasure's power; even killing an ordinary true immortal of the same rank would be effortless, and using it against these ants feels like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken, though the consumption of true source power is not small. But to end this battle immediately, not letting any of these ants escape, is unavoidable.

Ma Liang, thinking this, had his golden giant form let out a low shout, pouring half of his immortal spirit power into the seal, and with a shake of his wrist, hurled it toward the opponent.

Thunderclap!

The blood-colored seal tumbled in the high air and vanished instantly.

The next moment, above the area shrouded by the black light array, a violent disturbance occurred; after the blood mist rolled and condensed, a blood-red colossal figure thousands of zhang high emerged from the void, its surface radiating blood light ten thousand zhang high, with various phantoms of people, insects, fish, and insects flickering out, and it emitted eerie wailing sounds that echoed throughout the heavens.

As the blood-colored seal slowly descended, the void beneath it suddenly trembled and became blurred.

The black light array directly facing the seal twisted and wailed, and after a "bang" of chaotic noise, the eighty-one black crystal beads inside exploded like firecrackers and shattered.

The entire black light array let out a mournful cry and vanished into thin air, leaving Ming Zun, Yin Gangzi, and others who had just prepared to attack below utterly stunned.

"Run"

Who knows who shouted, but Wu Ling Lady and the others moved their bodies, and instantly transformed into several streaks of escape light shooting away, but before they could fly even tens of zhang away, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering boom came from the sky.

Within a hundred li radius, the void suddenly descended with a terrifying giant force; the surrounding air tightened, and everything instantly became as tough and resilient as refined steel.

The several streaks of escape light were pressed by this force, unable to resist, they scattered and fell, reforming in mid-air into Wu Ling Lady and the other Mahayana powerhouses, but everyone's face turned pale, with a hint of panic.
