Chapter 531: Senior, Stop at Once

The sun formed by the Saint's self-detonation had not yet faded.

An object immediately flew out from the center.

It was a bronze bamboo scroll that had enlarged to the size of an ordinary Small World.

This bronze bamboo scroll was filled with a sense of heaviness and antiquity throughout.

After it appeared, the Barrier of the Holy Temple, which was already tottering and even showing gaps, was about to stabilize once more.

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox God did not agree with the opponent stabilizing the situation just like that.

Giggle, giggle, giggle!

The Nine-Tailed Fox God laughed again, then took a round fan from her sleeve.

She fanned the round fan, and the very first stroke caused a crack to appear on the surface of the bronze bamboo scroll.

This crack gushed out a large amount of cyan light.

Every point of cyan light contained a vast number of devout prayer thoughts.

And while the bronze bamboo scroll underwent this change, one of the Nine-Tailed Fox God's tails suddenly turned into ashes.

The Nine-Tailed Fox God paid no mind to this and waved the round fan again.

Time and time again, after sacrificing two tails.

The heavy aura of the bronze bamboo scroll was reduced by at least half.

"Enough!"

The consciousness of the Wise One hidden within the bronze bamboo scroll could no longer hold back and could not help but transmit a Divine Soul message:

"Senior! Do you really intend to use your own life-bound divine artifact, refined with such painstaking effort, to clash head-on with this holy relic of our Holy Temple?"

"Even if you, Senior, have already stepped into that realm, such consumption will affect your future status, Senior..."

"..."

The Fox God, now without nine tails, gave the bronze bamboo scroll a look of contempt and disdain as if looking at an idiot.

This look left the existence that was the bronze bamboo scroll stunned for a moment.

The next instant, it felt immense pressure strike toward it.

Under its confused and uncomprehending Divine Soul observation, that Shengsheng Cunzai sacrificed all nine of her tails.

This caused the holy relic of the Holy Temple, the bronze bamboo scroll, to be covered in cracks.

The suppression of the Barrier was already visibly on the verge of failing.

Yet, seeing this was still not enough.

That Shengsheng Cunzai who had lost her nine tails transformed into a white-furred, tailless fox comparable to a Great World.

On the giant fox's head, a circle of bright red '&'-shaped Marks emerged between her brows.

At this very moment, these '&'-shaped Marks were all emitting an eerie red light.

Under this red light, the Wise One hiding in the bronze bamboo scroll felt his mind shake; seemingly realizing something, he could not help but shout out loud:

"Senior! Stop at once!"

"You mustn't! A single Holy Temple Barrier is not worth such a sacrifice from you, Senior!"

The Wise One did not understand; he could not fathom it.

A barrier that could clearly have been worn down over a few hundred years.

Why would the other party sacrifice a Shengsheng Cunzai who was at least a top-tier Dark Catastrophe just for this moment of destruction?

How was this any different from building a garment factory just to wear a single piece of clothing?

He did not understand, but he was greatly shocked!

And his vocal attempt to stop her clearly had no effect.

The white fox transformed her body into a ball of red and white mixed light and crashed directly into the barrier.

Then, the hundreds of millions of Cultivators present and that Wise One all saw the ball of light transformed from the white fox actually pass straight through the barrier.

Immediately, it exploded inside the barrier.

The eerie red and white light instantly drowned out the radiance of the sun from the Saint's self-detonation.

The Wise One inside the bronze bamboo scroll cursed 'not good' to himself and intended to withdraw from the bronze bamboo scroll to run back to the Holy Temple.

However, the red and white light radiated over at an even faster speed.

In the blink of an eye, the bronze bamboo scroll turned into hundreds of millions of fragments.

The Wise One hidden inside was also swept up by the red and white light and entered an eerie space.

And there, he saw countless identical fox heads surrounding him.

And after a burst of giggling laughter.

The Wise One's Divine Soul was devoured by the pack of foxes, causing the red and white halo to become a few shades more intense.

The Holy Temple situated in the center emitted a pure white light, forming a spherical shield.

This shield extended for a million kilometers.

Yet it could only protect the things within this million-kilometer range.

Beyond a million kilometers, the many arrangements of the Holy Temple and those guards were all drowned in the eerie red and white light.

After these red and white lights devoured all living beings and matter in the surroundings.

They transformed from light into a liquid-shaped crimson ocean.

Looking from afar, it was as if the crimson sea formed by the Fox God had surrounded the Holy Temple at the center, constantly consuming and grinding away the Holy Temple's defenses.

The army of Immortal Boats that followed, seeing this scene, praised the deep foundation and powerful strength of the Salvation Lineage.

Yet they could not help but feel secretly terrified, and began to guess what heaven-defying mistake that Fox God had committed?

That even as a Shengsheng Cunzai above the Dark Catastrophe, she had to be forced into self-sacrifice.

And all this under the eyes of the public! Is the Salvation Lineage not afraid of chilling the hearts of other Great Abilities?

But upon second thought, even such a Shengsheng Cunzai could be forced into self-sacrifice without daring to show the slightest bit of unwillingness.

Does this not show just how terrifyingly powerful the true top-tier combat strength of the Salvation Lineage is!

Thinking of this, the Cultivators of every sect and faction felt a shock in their minds and a realization; they sensed that their only way out from now on was to hold tight to the Salvation Lineage's thigh.

The later stages of the struggle would, in all likelihood, ultimately turn into a battle for the favor of the Salvation Lineage, wouldn't it?

Thinking of this, everyone began to attack even more vigorously.

Some Cultivators were even so emotionally stirred that they broke through their cultivation levels right before the battle, giving the surrounding Cultivators a huge surprise!

Boom!

Above the Sacred Hall, facing the Forbidden Technique produced by the Nine-Tailed Fox God's self-sacrifice.

Never mind that unlucky Wise One in the bronze bamboo scroll.

Even those in the Sacred Hall who had swallowed quite a few of their peers revealed their shock.

They had thought that they themselves were already insane enough for the sake of temporarily boosting their cultivation.

The opponent was actually even more insane than them!

The Hall Master and the others could not help but sigh, using one trump card after another to resist.

It was just that... gradually, the Sacred Hall and even the besieging Cultivators all sensed that something was wrong.

The Nine-Tailed Fox God's self-sacrifice was one thing.

Why was it that next, a Shengsheng Cunzai capable of manifesting the True Martial Subduing Demons Purgatory was also, after appearing, relaying the self-sacrifice to release a Forbidden Technique.

By the time this one's Forbidden Technique had finally ended.

Another fire-red sword Cultivator came.

They had thought that this one looked like a person and should be a bit more normal.

The Sacred Hall had already prepared various Star-Swallowing Transformation Arrays and related Supreme Treasures.

But as it turned out, that sword Cultivator with thick eyebrows and big eyes didn't play by the rules either!

He directly sacrificed his body to the Dao, transforming into a giant crimson sword.

Then, this giant crimson sword manifested afterimages, colliding with the Sacred Hall's Barrier and crashing into hundreds of Supreme Treasures that could be counted as trump cards.

Every one of those Supreme Treasures was an item born from the accumulation of hundreds of generations of various Time Domains.

After being taken by the Sacred Hall, they had been refined for a long time.

Boom!

This final batch of Supreme Treasures was destroyed right before the eyes of the countless Cultivators of the Sacred Hall.

Fortunately, relying on quantitative change to cause qualitative change.

Plus the strangeness of the Sacred Hall itself and the Secret Techniques of the Wise Ones, they finally managed to neutralize that giant sword.

However, by this point, several days had already passed.

The result was that another Heaven-Swallowing White Fox appeared outside the Sacred Hall.

And this white fox, which gave people a sense of familiarity, had a complete set of nine tails!

The red and white light appeared once more, and the red and white Dahai emerged again.

Following that, the True Martial Subduing Demons and the crimson giant sword took turns appearing.

This gave the people in the Sacred Hall the illusion that they might have fallen into a Samsara divine ability.

The Sacred Hall was locked in a bitter struggle, while outside the Sacred Hall, Su Ping's various Avatars, the Taiyi Demon Emperor, and other powerhouses were constantly clearing out other Forbidden Lands.

Even without the help of the Shengsheng, by relying on other foundations, especially the Xuangui Baxia, dealing with the Forbidden Lands was easy.

With one side waning and the other waxing.

One year later.

Accompanied by a cheer that the Barrier had broken, echoing within the Immortal Boat.

The Sacred Hall finally exhausted its foundations and could no longer maintain itself, shattering apart.

As three Shengsheng were the first to charge in, the great army followed closely behind, swarming in to besiege it.

The outcome of the Sacred Hall was already self-evident.
