Chapter 1148: The Blood Coffin Attacks

In the deathly silent and chilling palace corridors, the figures of Li Luo, Feng Lingyuan, and others leaped past; they could not leap too high because this "Palace of All Beings" was permeated by a nameless pressure, as if it forbade flight.

Perhaps the true "Palace of All Beings" was the dwelling of that Demon King of All Beings; a king's domain naturally possessed its own rules.

At the true "Palace of All Beings," even a Marquis-sealing powerhouse would likely only dare to walk cautiously; how would they dare to fly in disrespect?

Yet even though this place was merely a projection of the "Palace of All Beings," it was sufficient to suppress Li Luo and the others, who were below the Marquis-sealing realm.

Li Luo stood in the center of the formation, while around him were top students like Feng Lingyuan, Yin Yue Zhiyu, Duanmu, and Wei Chonglou; their positioning clearly held some intent to guard against Li Luo as well, after all, the current Li Luo bore that hideous and eerie "Ghost Arm," which was truly enough to make one unable to feel completely at ease.

Li Luo also expressed understanding regarding this; after all, he himself knew that the evil intent energy contained within the "Ghost Arm" was only temporarily suppressed; once a flaw appeared on his side, the Ghost Arm would begin to counter-attack, attempting to erode his mind.

"This ghostly thing still needs to be exorcised as soon as possible."

Li Luo glanced at the hideous and terrifying Ghost Arm and sighed inwardly; evil intent energy was an alien substance containing countless negative emotions; if it truly remained in his body for too long, even if he struggled to suppress it, it would eventually affect his mind.

This point could be seen from those "Slaughter Ghosts"; those who carried the coffins looked not much different from ordinary people, yet their minds were somewhat crazed and twisted.

Li Luo did not want to become like that.

And just as Li Luo thought this, his expression suddenly changed, because he felt the evil intent energy within the "Ghost Arm" suddenly surge violently at this moment.

When the evil intent energy erupted, Li Luo also suddenly perceived an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation coming from a pavilion in the distance.

That energy was very familiar.

It was the Blood Coffin Man they had encountered before!

"Be careful, there is an attack!" Li Luo's thoughts flashed like lightning, and then he suddenly shouted sharply.

The main force rushing forward heard this and were all startled.

However, before they could ask, terrifying energy assaults suddenly roared in from the front; those seemed to be black shadows, and within the shadows were mottled, chilling black coffins.

"It's the 'Slaughter Ghosts'!" Seeing those coffins, Feng Lingyuan and others immediately knew the identity of the attackers.

Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, powerful and majestic image forces shot up to the sky, evolving into magnificent "Tian Xiang Images" in mid-air, drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth.

Other Da Tian Xiang Jing students summoned their respective treasures and gave their all to meet those suddenly attacking black coffins.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying energy fluctuations raged out; some of the Da Tian Xiang Jing students who had struck were shaken until their internal blood and qi churned, because the number of black coffins in this attack was truly considerable.

Fortunately, top students like Feng Lingyuan and Yin Yue Zhiyu immediately moved to block many of the black coffins, sharing the pressure for them.

"Li Luo, give the 'True Demon Embryo Egg' back to me!"

At this moment, a violent and mad shriek echoed through the air; a beam of blood light broke through the sky, and it was indeed the Blood Coffin Man. His body was twisted like a crimson monster; his face was full of madness and intent to kill, and his bloodshot eyes released overwhelming killing intent, locking onto Li Luo's figure.

He rushed straight toward Li Luo.

Seeing this, Feng Lingyuan's beautiful eyes grew cold; her hands grasped at the empty air, and countless black shadows roared down from the "Tian Xiang Image" above her head, falling entirely upon the Blood Coffin Man like chains, binding his four limbs completely.

"Get lost!"

But at this time, the Blood Coffin Man, bolstered by the half "True Demon Embryo Egg," was actually even stronger than when they had met before; his flesh and blood writhed on his body, releasing a crimson aura that directly melted those black chains apart.

Then he clenched his five fingers and smashed a fist toward Feng Lingyuan who blocked his path.

Boom!

The void seemed to crack open; a crimson Quan Yin, like a mountain, wrapped in boundless ferocity, smashed down upon Feng Lingyuan.

Feng Lingyuan retreated urgently, yet the Quan Yin was even faster, piercing straight through the void and simultaneously striking her body.

However, at the instant of impact, Feng Lingyuan's figure twisted and turned into a shadow; dozens of zhang away, her figure reappeared, with a look of shock in her eyes.

The Blood Coffin Man's strength was even more terrifying than when they had met before.

"Get lost! I only want that boy; whoever dares to block me will surely die!" the Blood Coffin Man said grimly, his sharp teeth flashing with cold light, causing fear in the heart.

"Together! I will hold him!"

But at this moment, Wang Kong rushed out first; with a sharp shout, his body transformed into a stone giant and charged directly at the Blood Coffin Man.

"Crimson Heart Golden Script!"

A light shout followed; a streak of crimson-gold light cut through the half-sky and entered Wang Kong's body, instantly making his body even larger; within the gray-white light flowing over his body's surface, crimson gold also appeared.

Clearly, Li Hongyou had acted.

"Li Luo, you retreat; he is coming for you!" At the same time, she also looked at Li Luo and reminded him.

Li Luo pressed his lips together, just about to speak, when Yin Yue Zhiyu also appeared before him; the latter held a Light Scepter, raised her sharp chin toward him, and said proudly, "Considering that you previously shared a 'Holy Thorn' with me, this time I will guarantee your life."

As her words fell, the Light Scepter in her hand had already drawn forth a massive pillar of light; within the pillar flowed countless sacred light patterns.

Boom!

The pillar of light crashed down onto the twisted, burly flesh body of the "Blood Coffin Man," instantly causing the evil intent energy to churn violently, while also bringing immense pain to the Blood Coffin Man.

The Blood Coffin Man roared, clenched his five fingers tightly, and viscous crimson energy surged out, directly colliding with the oncoming Wang Kong in a fist clash.

Bang!

A shockwave exploded; Wang Kong's body was immediately knocked flying, but just as he was about to smash into a wall, green wood suddenly grew on the wall, layers of leaves surging forth to catch him.

Wang Kong turned his head and saw Duanmu standing on the wall not far away.

"Thanks," he said with a smile.

Duanmu nodded slightly, raised his palm, and countless green wood grew out beneath the Blood Coffin Man's feet; the green wood coiled around his ankles like giant pythons.

"Annoying flies!"

The Blood Coffin Man stomped his foot, and blood flames spread out from beneath his feet, directly burning all that green wood to ashes.

But at this time, Wang Kong charged forward again, accompanied by the coordinated assaults of Feng Lingyuan, Yin Yue Zhiyu, and Duanmu.

Boom! Boom!

Although the Blood Coffin Man's strength had increased due to the effect of the "True Demon Embryo Egg," facing the combined effort of four top students, he was temporarily held back.

This made the Blood Coffin Man extremely furious; he then turned his gaze toward Li Luo at the rear and grinned hideously, "Boy, the taste of the True Demon Embryo Egg invading the body isn't pleasant, is it? Then I will add some fire for you!"

As his words fell, he extended his sharp fingers and actually tore open his own chest, revealing the scalding, beating internal organs within; between those organs, all covered in viscous crimson liquid, the liquid writhed and gathered together, seemingly forming half of a True Demon Embryo Egg.

Then the True Demon Egg began to beat like a heart, and a bizarre heartbeat sound suddenly spread out.

The moment this heartbeat rang out, Li Luo's expression behind him changed drastically. He saw the flesh and blood on his left arm's "Ghost Arm" writhing violently at this moment, especially the bloodline on the back of his hand, which was actually slowly opening at this moment.

Beneath it, an eyeball covered in blood vessels seemed about to bulge out.

At the same time, countless bizarre whispers sounded in Li Luo's heart at this moment, causing his mind to gradually blur.

But the next instant, he hurriedly snapped awake, immediately mobilizing all the phase force within his body, converting it into light phase force, and beginning to suppress the surging, overwhelming aura of malice rushing toward his left arm.

This time, the half "True Demon Egg" hidden in his left arm counterattacked extremely fiercely, clearly having sensed the stirring of the other half "True Demon Egg."

Li Luo's face was ashen. With a great battle imminent, he had to devote all his strength here to suppressing the "True Demon Egg," unable to offer any help.

Actually, if the Blood Coffin person wanted to take the "True Demon Egg" from his left arm, he would have welcomed it—after all, this thing was nothing but a calamity to him—but he also understood that, given the Blood Coffin person's viciousness, while taking the True Demon Egg, they would probably also take his life along the way.

"Green Snake, aren't you going to make a move yet?!" At this moment, the Blood Coffin person suddenly shouted sharply.

Hearing this, Feng Lingyuan and the others were all shocked. The Blood Coffin person had other reinforcements?!

Hiss!

And just as the Blood Coffin person's shout had just fallen, from the shadows behind, a giant snake of roughly a hundred zhang, colored in a blue-black hue, suddenly shot out violently. That giant snake was bizarre, born with multiple eyes, and on the top of its head, there was faintly a figure, with half its body merged into it.

At the same time, along with it came a batch of Black Coffin people.

The two sides crashed into each other. The blue-black giant snake easily sent several Da Tian Xiang Jing students flying with a swing of its tail, and then, with a bizarre speed, swept toward the rear.

"Li Luo, retreat first!"

Li Hongyou saw the situation, her expression startled. The Dark Wood Feather Fan in her hand waved, and streaks of black light rolled toward the blue-black giant snake.

The blue-black giant snake, however, spewed out poisonous light, blocking all of that black light.

The entire situation instantly descended into utter chaos.

Li Luo's figure retreated violently.

Feng Lingyuan also felt the pressure at this moment. These Sha Gui Zhong were more numerous than before, and relying solely on their team, it was already difficult to stop them.

So she hurriedly took out a spiritual talisman and directly shot it out, taking advantage of the situation.

The spiritual talisman shot up into the sky, transforming into a pillar of light that rose into the air, and then in midair transformed into a glowing seal of the character "Feng."

It was precisely her distress signal.

And at the same time, in another area of the "Zhong Sheng Palace," there was also a team currently rushing along at high speed.

Suddenly their figures paused, and they looked up toward the distant north, where a faint, subtle signal had risen.

A student of Tian Yuan Gu Xue Fu saw this and was immediately shocked, exclaiming: "It's Senior Sister Feng Lingyuan's distress signal—were they attacked?!"

The others were all greatly alarmed. Even someone of Feng Lingyuan's strength had been forced to call for reinforcements?

"Brother Wu, should we go rescue them? Or head to the 'Tian Gui Altar' first?" a student asked, and then their gazes turned toward the two figures at the very front.

The two figures, one male and one female, were none other than Wu Changkong and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Wu Changkong was also stunned for a moment, a fleeting change flickering through his eyes. Feng Lingyuan's team over there? Wouldn't that mean...

However, just as his thoughts were stirring, Jiang Jiang Qinge beside him suddenly looked toward those Tian Yuan Gu Xue Fu students and asked: "Is Li Luo in this Senior Sister Feng Lingyuan's team?!"

Hearing this, that student hurriedly replied: "Yes, Li Luo is in Senior Sister Feng's team."

Boom!

And the instant his words fell, resplendent light phase force had already erupted explosively like a blazing sun. The next moment, everyone present saw Jiang Jiang Qinge's figure already transform into a streak of flowing light, shooting out violently.

She directly abandoned the team here, regardless of their choice, and went off alone.

Everyone stared in stunned disbelief, because for the first time, they saw on Jiang Jiang Qinge's face—which had remained calm and unruffled all along the way here—an expression of utter urgency appear.

A shade of gloom swept across Wu Changkong's face. In the end, he said nothing, waved his hand, and hurriedly led the others to follow.
