Chapter 1032: Myriad Bones Amalgamation
Yun Li also took a deep breath, forming hand seals again with both hands. Although the stellar power was suppressed, her Meteor Fall Pavilion's inheritance had its own unique approach. Specks of azure starlight struggled to condense at her fingertips; though not dazzling, they carried a resolute will of purification and protection.
The gray-black tide of resentful energy, like a dark wave that devours everything, instantly submerged the two figures' tiny silhouettes! Countless twisted claws, energy shrieks, and chaotic negative spiritual impacts surged forward like a storm!
Han Wuxian roared, exerting all his strength to sidestep and dodge the swipe of a resentful spirit's giant claw, while simultaneously injecting his right foot with the Golden Yang Blazing Heaven Force and kicking hard at another resentful spirit's lower half, sending it stumbling!
Although the scorching golden light could not completely annihilate the resentful spirit, it caused the gray-black body to violently tremble, emitting a painful howl!
Yun Li's azure starlight, like a sharp arrow, precisely struck the head of a resentful spirit lunging at Han Wuxian's back; the starlight exploded, and the resentful spirit let out a sharp screech, its form instantly fading somewhat!
The battle erupted instantly!
Han Wuxian danced on the blade's edge, each dodge and counterstrike tugging at his wounds all over, blood continually seeping out and staining the dark-red ground beneath his feet. His arms could exert no strength; he could only rely on his legs and waist to perform the most primal melee. Every contact with a resentful spirit made the icy resentment and violent mental assault split his head with pain, darkness flashing before his eyes.
Yun Li's situation was somewhat better; her starlight had a countering effect on resentful spirits, but the consumption was enormous, and the number of resentful spirits was simply too great! Her protective starlight was constantly struck and weakened, and she also sustained several wounds eroded by resentful energy, transmitting icy, bone-piercing pain.
The two stood back-to-back, barely holding out in the resentful spirits' surge, like an isolated island in a raging sea, liable to be completely submerged at any moment. Each time they repelled a wave of attack, more resentful spirits immediately lunged forward!
"If this continues… we won't last long!" Yun Li panted, her starlight already dimmed considerably.
Han Wuxian kicked one resentful spirit away with a foot, but he himself staggered backward; his left leg was sliced open by a resentful spirit's claw, revealing bone-deep, as icy resentful energy frenziedly invaded! He let out a muffled grunt, dropped to one knee, and blood instantly stained the ground.
He lifted his head, seeing the endless, howling tide of resentful spirits still surging toward them, and glanced at Yun Li beside him, equally scarred yet still gritting her teeth and holding on.
"I can't… die here…" he panted, his gaze sweeping over the depths of this silent battlefield. Suddenly, he noticed that in the rear of the resentful spirit surge, at an extremely distant location near the outline of a relatively lofty ruin, the number of resentful spirits seemed to have thinned somewhat? Moreover, from there came a faint, extremely subtle yet making the Golden Yang Blazing Heaven Force within his body feel a slight strange throbbing… a scorching undulation?
That undulation was extremely faint, mixed within the battlefield's violent resentful energy; if not for his extreme sensitivity to fire-element power, he would hardly have noticed it!
"Over there!" Han Wuxian pointed fiercely toward the ruin's direction, his voice hoarse yet carrying a hint of resolve: "Head that way… break out! There… is something!"
Yun Li looked in the direction he indicated, seeing only broken walls and ruins amid the surging resentful spirits, but she nodded without hesitation: "Good!"
The two again erupted with their remaining strength! Han Wuxian, ignoring the pain in his left leg, forced himself to stand and used his body to shatter the resentful spirits blocking the path! Yun Li transformed her last strength into a burst of azure starlight rain, temporarily clearing a small area ahead!
They were like moths flying into flames, heading toward the unknown source of that scorching undulation that might offer a sliver of life, amidst the boundless howling and encirclement of resentful spirits, they began a desperate and tragic… suicidal charge!
Each step they took left a mottled trail of blood, each step potentially becoming a dead end.
The icy resentful energy was like billions of poisonous needles, frenziedly eroding wounds and nerves. Every breath carried the smell of blood and rotten dust. Han Wuxian dragged his left leg, torn by resentful spirit claws and corroded by resentful energy; each step felt like stepping on a red-hot branding iron, sharp pain accompanied by bone-chilling cold shooting straight into his marrow. He gritted his teeth, his gums nearly splitting, using only his remaining right leg and waist strength to lunge forward desperately! Yun Li clung tightly behind him, her azure starlight like a candle in the wind, each burst barely able to push away a few lunging resentful spirits, her face as pale as paper, teetering on collapse.
Suicidal charge! In the boundless, limitless tide of resentful spirits, toward that faint scorching undulation source!
"Roar!"
A giant resentful spirit formed from countless bone fragments, wielding a ferocious arm made of broken giant swords, letting out a howl that tore the air, came crashing down upon them! Shadows engulfed the two!
No escape!
"Get out of the way!" Han Wuxian roared, exerting all his strength to shove Yun Li hard to the side! He himself then recoiled backward using the reaction force!
Boom—
The massive bone-sword arm smashed down where he had just stood, the dark-red hard ground sliced open like tofu into a deep trench! The violent blast, mixed with stone shards and thick resentful energy, hurled Han Wuxian violently outward!
Pfft!
Han Wuxian crashed heavily onto the icy ground, rolling over ten or more times before stopping, his bones feeling as if they had scattered apart, especially the wounds on his arms and left leg, blood gushing forth! His vision swam with darkness, the sharp pain and icy resentful erosion nearly rendering him unconscious.
A deeper, more majestic moan rose, as if gathering all the battlefield's dead souls' grudges into a terrifying wail, like a death horn, suddenly echoing from the depths of the battlefield!
Boom—rumble—
The earth shuddered violently! Several hundred zhang ahead of them, in that relatively lofty ruin area, countless scattered giant bones, broken weapons, and even shattered architectural remnants, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand, wildly converged, compressed, and fused toward a central point like rivers flowing into the sea!
The gray-black resentful energy thickened like liquid ink, boiling and surging, enveloping and forging those bone weapons!
An unimaginably massive colossus was taking shape amidst the resentful energy surge… being born!
First to coalesce were four thick bone legs like heavenly pillars, driven deep into the earth! Next came a massive torso covered in countless twisted bone spurs and rusted metal, like a moving hill! Upon the torso protruded three distinct ferocious heads.
One was a huge dragon skull covered in sword marks, its eye sockets burning with greenish soul fire.
One was a skull bristling with fangs, resembling a giant ape, its jawbone opening and closing with a silent roar;
The last was entirely forged from twisted fragments of countless broken weapons, gleaming with icy metallic cold light! Six arms, made from remnants of giant weapons, extended from the torso's sides, wielding massive hammer, spear, and scythe forged purely from resentful energy, burning with black flame!
This monster, forcibly assembled from myriad resentful spirit bones and weapons, stood nearly a hundred zhang tall, exuding a terrifying aura that would make even Nascent Soul cultivators tremble! Its three heads turned simultaneously toward Han Wuxian and Yun Li's direction; within the hollow eye sockets lay only pure, all-consuming madness and vengeful malice!
"My… Myriad Bones Amalgamation?!" Yun Li's voice trembled with uncontrollable despair: "Over… this level of battlefield resentment amalgamation… is utterly beyond our ability to oppose!"
