Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Breaking Through _1

What a stubborn beast.

Seeing the almost frenzied Purple Light Flood Dragon, the hearts of all the Top Sky Apex Strongs also sank slightly. This Purple Light Flood Dragon was already very powerful; if it went berserk like this, its strength would increase dramatically from its original level. As such, the difficulty of entering the Human Emperor’s Underground Palace would increase considerably.

However, those present were all Top Sky Apex Strongs. Which of these experts, who had cultivated to this stage, was not a seasoned veteran who had weathered countless storms? Even the Purple Light Flood Dragon could not shake their determination to enter the Human Emperor’s Underground Palace.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Torrents of True Qi, each powerful enough to destroy a small hill, shot out from all directions. They ultimately etched a two-color formation map into the space, suppressing the Purple Light Flood Dragon beneath it.

ROAR!

Locked in place by two terrifying streams of Air Energy, the Purple Light Flood Dragon’s body thrashed violently. Its massive tail continuously slammed against the two sickle-like manifestations of Air Energy.

Under this assault, the two-color Array Formation trembled violently, its light flickering. It had clearly sustained a powerful impact and was on the verge of collapse at any moment.

”Everyone, if we continue to hold back, the Array Formation will break, and we won’t get a second chance!”

Gazing at the crumbling two-color Array Formation, Sikong Yi’s somewhat grim voice suddenly echoed through the air.

When his words spread, everyone’s expression changed. They had indeed harbored thoughts of reaping the rewards without sowing, but it now seemed that such a plan was unfeasible. If even the Fusion Sky Devil Array could not suppress the Purple Light Flood Dragon, who knew how much longer it would take for them to enter the Human Emperor’s Underground Palace.

At this moment, Sikong Yi was already forming hand seals. Through the combined efforts of numerous Demonic Cult Leaders, torrents of True Qi converged within the Array Formation. Finally, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they coalesced into a Grey Spear fully twenty zhang long.

”Fusion Sky Devil Array, Great Devouring Spear!”

Accompanied by a thunderous shout, the Grey Spear shot out, causing ripples in space as it fiercely bombarded the Purple Light Flood Dragon.

THUD!

The Grey Spear struck the Purple Light Flood Dragon, instantly producing a deafening collision sound.

This fierce impact instantly broke through the Purple Light Flood Dragon’s defenses, shattering several Dragon Scales. The next moment, an astonishing devouring power erupted from the spearhead, voraciously absorbing the Demonic Power within the Purple Light Flood Dragon.

”Melting Sky Sword Rain!”

The techniques of Xu Feihong and other Righteous Path leaders were only a beat slower but were unleashed with equal ferocity. Countless tiny purple swords suddenly materialized above the entire Array Formation. With a wave of Xu Feihong and the others’ hands, all the purple swords shot out like a meteor shower descending from the heavens.

The sword rain descended upon the Purple Light Flood Dragon, immediately kicking up dazzling sparks. Under the combined assault of the devouring spear and the sword rain, the Purple Light Flood Dragon was finally suppressed by the Array Formation. The entire ground caved in, and the Purple Light Flood Dragon plunged into the chasm.

”We succeeded!”

Seeing the Purple Light Flood Dragon finally suppressed, all the Top Sky Apex Strongs were overjoyed. By combining the power of so many Top Sky Apex Strongs, they had finally managed to subdue this Purple Light Flood Dragon!

The moment the Purple Light Flood Dragon was suppressed, an eerie smirk appeared on the faces of Sikong Yi and the other Demonic Cult Leaders. They seemed to have conspired beforehand, acting almost simultaneously to skillfully infuse their True Qi into the Array Formation.

Suddenly, from within the Fusion Sky Devil Array, sharp black spikes of light emerged. The instant they appeared, they shot towards the numerous Righteous Path leaders with lightning speed.

”What?!”

This strange development caused the expressions of the numerous Righteous Path leaders to change. These black light spikes were surprisingly sharp, capable of piercing even the Protective True Qi shields of Top Sky Apex Strongs. In the blink of an eye, several Sky Apex Realm powerhouses on the Righteous Path’s side were injured.

”Practitioners of the Demon Way are always so despicable and shameless!”

Xu Feihong, Lu Youzhen, and the others’ expressions darkened. They had just suppressed the Purple Light Flood Dragon, and the other party had immediately betrayed them, impatiently launching a sneak attack.

”Go!”

Sikong Yi, seeing that his objective of delaying the enemy had been achieved, no longer lingered and was the first to dart towards the Bronze Gate. He merely intended to temporarily embroil the Righteous Path leaders in trouble, allowing his group to seize the initiative. Relying on a single Array Formation to kill the opposing Sky Apex Realm experts was unrealistic.

Liu Xiling, the Demon Elder, the Black and White Holy Envoys, and the others also sprang into action, transforming into streaks of black light and disappearing beyond the Bronze Gate.

Although entangled by the Array Formation and somewhat disheveled, Xu Feihong and the others quickly stabilized their footing.

BANG!

At this moment, the suppressed Purple Light Flood Dragon also showed signs of struggling free from its restraints.

”Quickly, into the Palace!” Lu Youzhen, seeing the unfavorable turn of events, shouted sharply. ”If the Purple Light Flood Dragon breaks free, it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for us to enter this Palace again!”

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Overwhelming sounds of rushing wind echoed. Disregarding their injuries, all the Righteous Path leaders surged through the Bronze Gate at full speed. The Emperor’s Treasure was right before them; if they failed to enter the Palace, they would likely regret it for the rest of their lives!

WHOOSH!

After everyone had entered the Palace, a figure in cyan robes suddenly appeared outside. The figure lingered for only a brief moment, glanced at the Fusion Sky Devil Array, then moved and slipped silently through the Bronze Gate.

CRACK!

After the figure in cyan robes slipped into the Palace, the Fusion Sky Devil Array abruptly shattered into fragments. The Purple Light Flood Dragon broke free from the formation, unleashing an earth-shattering roar that seemed to make the entire Palace tremble.

...

At this time, Ling Chen, who was deep within the Palace, could not help but glance back at the pitch-dark passage behind him.

”What’s wrong?”

Noticing Ling Chen’s unusual behavior, Xu Ruoyan, who was beside him, asked in surprise.

”I think I heard the Purple Light Flood Dragon’s roar.”

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. ”I’m afraid the Purple Light Flood Dragon has been defeated.”

Hearing this, Xu Ruoyan was momentarily surprised, but her shock quickly faded. ”Even if the Purple Light Flood Dragon has been defeated, those Martial World leaders won’t be able to reach here for a while.”

They were already in a deeper area of the Human Emperor’s Underground Palace.

Along the way, they had encountered many stone chambers but had not entered any, not even sparing them a second glance, to avoid wasting time. They had directly sought a shortcut to the inner palace, which was how they had arrived here.

Even for a Top Sky Apex Strong, rushing here at full speed would take at least two hours.

”Mm.”

Ling Chen nodded, his gaze falling upon the end of the passage ahead. The light there seemed to brighten considerably, indicating it was likely a spacious area.

Quickening their pace, Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan walked towards the area ahead.
