Chapter 71: Joining forces to resist the demon? My first display of prominence!

The roar of the Ruined Abyss demon sense was like a tangible shockwave, carrying monstrous resentment and destructive will, not only targeting Lin Xuan, but sweeping the entire arena! Those with weaker cultivation were killed or injured, and even Soul Formation cultivators had their hearts and minds shaken, their faces turning pale.

The dense pitch-black demon aura barrier surged violently, as if some terrifying behemoth was waking up behind it, wanting to break the seal and come out! The murderous aura in the entire bone forest area was triggered, flowing into the demon aura like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, making its momentum even greater!

"Not good! The seal is really going to break!"

"This demon head is much stronger than before!"

"Retreat! This place is not a place to stay long!"

Panic spread like a plague among the cultivators who arrived later. Many had already developed the intention to retreat, driving their escape light to stay away from this place of right and wrong. What Soul-Condensing Creation Dew, what Jin Shisan, all seemed insignificant in the face of their own lives.

However, there were also those who advanced instead of retreating!

"Brilliant heavenly thunder, punish evil and avoid it!"

A clear, cold shout rang out, and Ye Chen saw purple thunder flashing around his body, turning into a thunder sword gang that tore through the darkness, not attacking the demon aura barrier, but slashing at the demon thought tentacles trying to escape from the demon aura and pounce on the surrounding cultivators!

Boom! Where the thunder light passed, the demon thought tentacles melted like ice and snow, emitting shrill shrieks before dissipating. Ye Chen stood with his sword, blocking in front of several panicked Golden Core cultivators, his eyes staring sharply at the demon aura barrier.

Although he was in competition with "Jin Shisan," facing such a demon head that endangered the Mystical Realm and might even harm the outside world, his sense of responsibility as a Child of Destiny made it impossible for him to sit idly by!

"Form the Imperial War Array! Protect the surroundings, prevent the demon aura from spreading!" Although the Third Prince Li Daoyi's expression was solemn, he also showed the decisiveness of an imperial family member at this moment, ordering his guards to form an array, and golden light rose, temporarily stabilizing the situation in the area they were in, blocking the spreading demon aura outside.

Even the chubby cultivator who had been smiling all along put away his gold abacus, waved his chubby hand, and sprinkled countless copper coin-shaped runes, forming a massive "Suppress" character in the air, emitting heavy golden light of merit, suppressing the restless demon aura.

Lin Xuan saw all this in his eyes, and his heart settled slightly. These top geniuses could still distinguish the importance of things at critical moments.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and the aftermath of the sea of consciousness. The Chaos Soul Formation in his dantian bloomed with clear light, and having just experienced the impact of the demon thought, it became even more condensed.

"Cannot let it come out!" Lin Xuan's eyes sharpened, knowing he had to do something, at least delay the speed of the demon head breaking the seal, and fight for time for possible subsequent means!

His thoughts turned rapidly, and he instantly made a decision!

"Daoist friend Ye Chen! Everyone! This demon is transformed from a wisp of demon sense of the ancient great enemy 'Lord of the Ruined Abyss,' intending to break the seal and harm the world! Fighting alone is definitely not its match, we need to join forces to suppress the demon aura and delay its seal-breaking!" Lin Xuan used his spiritual power, his voice clearly spreading to the whole arena, directly pointing out the origin of the demon head, intending to unify cognition and condense power.

As soon as these words were spoken, it caused another uproar! "Lord of the Ruined Abyss"? Just the name alone made people feel fear!

Ye Chen's gaze narrowed, and he looked at Lin Xuan deeply, without asking more, just saying in a deep voice: "How to do it?"

"I have a method, perhaps it can temporarily reinforce the seal, but I need everyone to help me contain the demon aura and fight for time for me!" Lin Xuan said quickly. He intended to use the power of the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order and the Star Core again to trigger the remnant Big Dipper Demon-Suppressing Array!

"Good!" Ye Chen did not hesitate, his sword incantation led, and more thunder gathered, actively attacking the rolling demon aura barrier, attracting its attention.

"Imperial Demon Suppression!" The Third Prince also ordered, and the imperial dragon aura turned into golden chains, winding toward the demon aura barrier.

The chubby cultivator's copper coin runes fell, suppressing an area tightly.

Other Soul Formation cultivators who still had blood and strength, seeing that several top geniuses had taken action, also gritted their teeth, each using their means, either attacking, defending, or purifying, fully containing the demon aura.

For a time, colorful spiritual light supernatural powers fell on the demon aura barrier like raindrops, although they could not truly break it, they successfully attracted most of the demon aura's counterattacks, making it surge even more violently, but its momentum of expanding outward slowed down!

"Now!"

Cold light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order and the Star Core simultaneously!

The two treasures floated in front of him, one with deep Nether light, one with brilliant starlight. Under the traction of chaotic spiritual power, the two resonated again, wisps of starlight and Nether aura intertwined, turning into that mysterious Star-Nether Light!

But this time, Lin Xuan did not use it for attack, but with his own Chaos Soul Formation as the core, using the "Nine Turns Chaos Scripture" as the general outline, fully guiding this light band, like the most brilliant weaver, carefully "weaving" it toward the connection between the demon aura barrier and the surrounding space—that was where the remnant sealing array was weakest, and also where the demon aura erosion was most serious!

"Using stars to suppress souls, using Nether light, to mend the sky's lack, to seal the demon's gap!"

He chanted ancient proverbs in his mouth, which was a method of application he had newly realized from the Soul-Suppressing Order. The Star-Nether Light was like a spirit snake with life, accurately drilling into those cracks and nodes eroded by the demon aura!

Hiss, hiss, hiss—!

The Star-Nether Light contacted the pure demon aura, and suddenly a violent reaction erupted! The demon aura frantically eroded and polluted the light band, while the light band continuously purified and sealed the demon aura! The two consumed each other, emitting a sound that made teeth ache!

Lin Xuan felt his own spiritual power pouring out like a bursting flood, and his spiritual sense also bore huge pressure. But he gritted his teeth, the Chaos Soul Formation operated frantically, continuously drawing spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth to supplement himself, while fully maintaining the stable output of the Star-Nether Light.

Under his efforts, the demon aura barrier fluctuated violently, and some small cracks that had just been opened by the demon aura actually began to slowly heal under the repair of the Star-Nether Light! Although the speed was extremely slow and the range was small, it indeed had an effect!

"It's working! He is repairing the seal!" Some sharp-eyed cultivators exclaimed.

Ye Chen, the Third Prince, and others saw this, their spirits greatly lifted, and they worked even harder to contain the demon aura.

Elder You Liang and others of the Youming Sect had ugly expressions, but did not dare to openly jump to the opposite side at this time, and could only gnash their teeth in secret.

However, Lin Xuan's move also completely angered the Ruined Abyss demon sense behind the barrier!

"Ant... how dare you stop me!!"

A more violent demon thought rushed over like a tsunami, mainly concentrated on Lin Xuan! At the same time, on the demon aura barrier, several giant ghost claws condensed from pure demon aura suddenly protruded, tearing the void, carrying the power to pierce everything, and grabbed fiercely at Lin Xuan who was fully exerting his power!

"Careful!" Ye Chen shouted, his thunder sword gang intercepting in the air, slashing at a ghost claw.

The Third Prince's imperial dragon aura chains also wound up.

The chubby cultivator's copper coin runes fell.

But there were too many ghost claws and they were too fast, and two ghost claws with the most condensed energy still broke through the interception, carrying shrill shrieks, and grabbed in front of Lin Xuan! The claw wind was sharp, and before it reached his body, it had already caused the protective spiritual light around Lin Xuan to fluctuate violently!

At this moment, Lin Xuan was fully maintaining the Star-Nether Light to repair the seal and could not be distracted at all, watching as he was about to be hit by the ghost claws!

Just at this critical moment—

Hum!

In Lin Xuan's bosom, the Huangfu Tianji Guide token suddenly flew up autonomously, hovering above his head, sprinkling a piece of clear light, forming a thin light shield.

Pfft! Pfft!

Two demon aura ghost claws grabbed fiercely on the light shield, the light shield shook violently, flickering, but did not break immediately! It actually blocked this sneak attack that was comparable to a full-strength strike of a mid-stage Soul Formation!

It was a backup left by the Huangfu Tianji Pavilion!

Although the light shield was about to collapse, it finally fought for a glimmer of life for Lin Xuan!

Cold light surged in Lin Xuan's eyes, knowing he could no longer hold back!

"Chaos—Swallow Heaven!"

He opened his mouth and inhaled fiercely, not inhaling spiritual energy, but inhaling the chaotic and violent heaven and earth energy caused by the great battle, along with part of the escaping demon aura, into his body!

This was an extremely dangerous move! But he practiced the Chaos Scripture, which originally had the characteristic of accommodating and refining all things!

The massive chaotic energy entered his body, like detonating a volcano in his body! Intense pain came, and his meridians seemed to be tearing! But the Chaos Soul Formation at this moment showed its heaven-defying aspect, spinning frantically, crushing and refining all the energy that rushed in regardless of attributes, transforming it into pure chaotic spiritual power to supplement his own consumption!

With the help of this power forcibly drawn, Lin Xuan suddenly pushed the output of the Star-Nether Light to the peak!

Swish!

The Star-Nether Light suddenly surged, like a grey star river, instantly covering and healing the demon aura cracks in an area ahead!

At the same time, his free left hand pointed like a sword, the Nirvana Finger force containing the demon aura essence he had just refined and his own resolute killing intent, arriving later but striking first, pointing at the demon aura ghost claw that was about to break the Huangfu Tianji Guide light shield!

"Break!"

Pfft!

The Nirvana Finger force ignored defense, directly annihilating the core demon aura structure of the ghost claws, and the two ghost claws collapsed!

At this moment, Lin Xuan stood alone against the demon claws, breaking through in the face of danger, and forcibly sealing the cracks, a figure deeply branded in the eyes of all the cultivators present!

That resoluteness, that strength, that spirit of turning the tide in a desperate situation, moved everyone!

Even Ye Chen, in his eyes, flashed a hint of unprecedented solemnity and recognition.

However, Lin Xuan had not yet had time to catch his breath, and behind the demon aura barrier, the Ruined Abyss demon sense seemed to be completely angered, emitting a more terrifying roar that seemed to be able to trigger the vibration of the world's laws!

The entire Five Elements Demon-Suppressing Land began to shake! It was as if something was really about to come out!
