Chapter 2440

【Chapter 2422: The Nine Tribulations Appear】

These powerhouses, famous throughout the Fengyuan Continent, had fallen and perished without even a groan.

As for Ming Zun and the others, they had escaped a disaster under the protection of the Yin Jun Heavenly Book.

The dense blood threads struck the light screen formed by this treasure, causing it to flicker wildly and dim significantly, but they did not pierce through the defense.

But this still left Yin Gangzi and the others looking incomparably pale.

Ming Zun's expression was gloomy as his gaze swept quickly toward the direction of the Black Ni Beasts.

He saw the four black-armored youths transformed from these beasts, each forming seals with one hand, hiding behind a layer of black fire screen, having also avoided the previous blood thread attack.

In the distance, Ma Liang saw that so many people had survived, and a look of surprise flashed across the giant's face. But immediately replacing it with a ferocious look, he formed seals rapidly with both hands and pointed remotely at the giant blood seal in the sky once more.

A rumbling sound erupted.

This time, the giant seal sank slightly, crushing the honeycomb-like light tower beneath it until it was completely shattered and collapsed.

With no further obstruction, this treasure fell upon Ming Zun and the others like Mount Tai, and the nearby void was once again shrouded by terrifying power, while the previously vanished bloody aura also surged forth.

"Brother Ming, what do we do now!" Yin Gangzi, transformed into a silver giant, asked in a low voice upon seeing this situation.

"What else can we do? Naturally, we must fight for our lives. You fellow daoists need not worry too much; such a terrifying attack as before must consume a great deal of true essence, and the opponent absolutely cannot use it a second time. Fellow Daoist Wu Ling, Brother Yin, you all try your best to hold off this treasure for a moment. I will cast a secret art to deal with the opponent and see if we can seal him while his magic power is greatly depleted. You four fellow daoists, you also use your innate divine abilities to cooperate with me in one all-out attack." Ming Zun's expression was extremely solemn, but he transmitted his voice to Yin Gangzi, the three others, and the four Black Ni Beasts without hesitation.

"Seal the opponent? How much certainty do you have, Brother Ming?" Lady Wu Ling asked with some hesitation.

Seeing the bald man and the other Great Ascension peers fall so easily before her eyes had left the woman feeling somewhat terrified.

"Rest assured, I am casting an immortal world secret art that requires sacrificing a wisp of my own essence soul while greatly damaging my foundation. There is at least a fifty percent chance of success." Ming Zun replied confidently via voice transmission.

"Good, then I will trust you once more. Fellow Daoist Yin, let us strike together." Lady Wu Ling looked up at the astonishingly imposing blood-colored giant seal in the sky, knowing she could not escape under its pressure, and gritted her teeth in secret.

The silver giant transformed from Yin Gangzi simply nodded and roared without hesitation, his body expanding significantly once more. Thick silver patterns surged from his skin, and countless faint runes flickered incessantly. After his two arms thickened by another circle, his two palms clenched into fists and struck out toward the sky.

As for the pig-headed, ape-bodied monster transformed from Lady Wu Ling, it raised its head and let out a long howl. The two giant swords in its hands suddenly merged in front of it, transforming into a pale yellow wolf-tooth club. With a light shake, it stirred up a yellow wind and swept toward the sky.

On the other side, the pale green palace-dressed woman had remained silent, but seeing Yin Gangzi and Lady Wu Ling strike, she also touched her hair bun with one hand without a word. She pulled out a jade hairpin that looked ordinary but was inlaid with three silver-blue beads, and tossed it toward the high sky.

'Puff', 'Puff', 'Puff' three sounds!

The jade hairpin exploded into a ball of spiritual light, but the three blue beads flew toward the high sky. After shaking in the wind, they suddenly transformed into three head-sized light orbs, their surfaces shining with blue light, though they looked unremarkable.

Ma Liang, seeing this, had a sneer appear on the face of the golden giant he had transformed into, and he urged his immortal spiritual power once more.

Immediately, the blood mist on the seal in the sky surged, and 'chi chi' sounds erupted. Thick blood-colored tentacles flew out from within, and after a slight shake, they transformed into blood-colored long spears, shooting toward the ground like a rainstorm.

A 'rumbling' sound erupted.

Yin Gangzi's two fists blurred, instantly manifesting countless silver fist shadows, forcefully shattering the incoming blood spears.

The yellow hurricane formed by Lady Wu Ling's wolf-tooth club swept the incoming blood spears into it, and after a wild flash, they were all forcefully ground to pieces.

The three blue light orbs, however, seemed to be intangible bodies, still drifting toward the high sky unhurriedly. When the blood spears made contact, they passed directly through them, appearing completely unaffected.

The next moment, the dense silver fist shadows and the yellow wolf-tooth club struck the giant seal solidly.

A roar echoed in the sky as silver light and yellow light intertwined and flashed!

The giant seal only swayed slightly, still pressing downward.

Yin Gangzi and Lady Wu Ling's expressions changed drastically. One of them stomped his feet on the void beneath him, bent his knees slightly, and slowly pushed his ten fingers toward the sky, while the other threw the wolf-tooth club in her hand and chanted incantations.

Several earth-shattering roars echoed.

Two silver giant hands, each an acre in size, appeared out of thin air beneath the seal and pushed upward with ten fingers spread.

At the same time, the giant wolf-tooth club, shining with yellow light like a divine weapon, also shot up from below, its thickest front end slamming firmly against the underside of the seal.

The entire void shook violently!

The mountain-like seal paused slightly and finally stopped in mid-air.

The two giant silver hands and the giant wolf-tooth club trembled wildly amidst low groans, looking as if they could no longer hold on.

Yin Gangzi and Lady Wu Ling couldn't help but groan inwardly.

At this moment, both of them had injected almost all their magic power into the silver hands and the wolf-tooth club, leaving them with no strength to continue resisting the seal's descent.

But just then, the three blue light orbs finally flew close to the seal and, the moment they touched the blood mist, flashed and exploded.

A strange cold power that could almost freeze a person's soul swept and dispersed in the air.

Following this, three blue ice flowers, each over ten feet in diameter, surged from the cold air. After a slight spin, three crystalline light pillars sprayed out and struck the seal.

With a 'chi la' sound, a layer of deep blue ice condensed out of thin air beneath the seal and spread at an incredible speed. In just a few flashes, it had frozen the majority of the seal within it.

This scene left not only Yin Gangzi and Lady Wu Ling dumbfounded, but even Ming Zun's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

"Yi, it's actually Ice Cloud Flower seeds! I didn't expect such strange flower seeds to exist in a mere lower realm. However, how could such a method truly trap the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal?" Ma Liang, transformed into a giant, had a look of surprise on his face, but after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly opened his mouth and blew toward the seal in the distance.

With a 'Puff' sound, golden light flames appeared out of thin air near the seal. After a flash, they stuck to the blue ice like maggots on a bone, immediately erupting with strange sounds like firecrackers.

At the same time, the giant seal itself roared, and a layer of blood flames surged forth.

Under the pincer attack of the two strange flames, the blue ice began to melt rapidly.

"Brother Ming, why haven't you acted yet? We cannot hold on for much longer." The palace-dressed woman, who had been sitting cross-legged and desperately urging the three blue ice flowers in the sky to delay the melting, shrieked at Ming Zun.

"Rest assured, you three fellow daoists, I have already acted." Ming Zun said after taking a deep breath upon hearing the woman's words.

Upon hearing this, the palace-dressed woman, Yin Gangzi, and Lady Wu Ling were naturally startled.

The next moment, a ripple appeared above the head of the golden giant transformed from Ma Liang. A cyan figure, about a foot tall, appeared out of thin air. Its face was a blur of mist, making it impossible to see its features, but it held a rusty, black ancient lamp in its hands.

Ma Liang, transformed into a giant, raised his head without hesitation and spat out a wisp of golden flame.

This flame expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a vast sea of golden fire that swept toward the figure.

Wherever the golden fire passed, the nearby void blurred as if it were being directly melted and pierced by its high temperature.

But the figure in the sky unhurriedly raised the ancient lamp in its hands and shook it toward the sea of golden fire below.

With a 'Puff chi' sound.

An incredible scene occurred.

The ancient lamp only flashed with a faint black ghostly light, and dots of grayish-white runes drifted out. The golden fire rushing up from below seemed to have met its nemesis, surging wildly into the ancient lamp, and in the blink of an eye, it was all sucked away completely.

Even with Ma Liang's composure, seeing this scene in the sky, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, the figure suddenly threw the ancient lamp downward and leaped, transforming into a ball of cyan light that attached itself to the ancient lamp, lighting the seemingly charred wick.

A grayish-white light flame appeared on the ancient lamp.

At the same time, Ming Zun, standing in the distance, turned pale, and his body, which had been standing straight, stumbled and could not stand steady.

The ancient lamp in the distance hummed, and the grayish-white light flame on its surface blurred, expanding countless times in size, shrouding half the sky beneath it.

The moment the giant transformed from Ma Liang was shrouded by the grayish-white light flame, he suddenly felt the immortal spiritual power in his body freeze, his protective golden light dispersed, and he could no longer cast any secret arts.

At this very instant, ripples appeared again around the golden giant, and the four Black Ni Beasts pounced out from the void. At the same time, they opened their mouths wide, each spitting out a wheel-sized black fireball, which rolled and smashed toward the golden giant.

"Seeking death!"

Ma Liang was startled, but the giant he had transformed into roared angrily. He clenched his two fists and struck out at the four black fireballs with a 'whoosh'.

With three 'Boom', 'Boom', 'Boom' sounds, three of the black fireballs exploded into dots of black rain the moment they made contact with the golden giant's fists.

Only one of them suddenly twisted, transforming into a black shadow that dodged the fist and flashed close to the golden giant, transforming into a gray-robed man with an ordinary face.

"Nine Tribulations Spirit-Extinguishing Art!" The gray-robed man raised one arm, and a palm pressed silently against the golden giant's waist, his voice ice-cold. (To be continued.
