Chapter 213
Chapter 213 - It Really Makes One Worry
The spiritual tide was rising.
In an instant, the spiritual energy sealed by the Nine Cauldrons in this secret realm erupted as the formation below shattered. It was like a massive, invisible volcanic eruption, emitting a thunderous roar.
The invisible force spread rapidly like a ripple, causing the tide to surge with a splash. The portal at the center collapsed instantly, and six ancient, heavy bronze cauldrons appeared beside “Dong Yuan.”
In the air, Hee Mengyao, the seemingly harmless descendant of the Martial Emperor, who stood next to Guo Fan. She managed to hold her ground, a sinister and eerie smile spreading across her beautiful, fair face. Her eyes had turned to an ordinary black color.
“Crack crack crack…”
Her palm, which had caught the fist, had now transformed into a hideous black claw. Demonic smoke swirled around it, and it slowly tightened, producing a crisp sound like the movement of bones.
“Devil Clan!”
Guo Fan shook his head, finally reacting. He felt an unexpected yet reasonable understanding.
Hee Mengyao's appearance, her actions along the way, the so-called calling of her ancestors, and her persistent words of gratitude.
She was thanking Guo Fan for helping her reach the interior of the White Jade Palace and finding the Martial Emperor's research results? But she probably didn’t expect the Martial Emperor to be alive…
However, this wasn't what distracted Guo Fan. It was the fact that the cold sensation behind him moments ago was a strong sense of life-and-death crisis. If the Martial Emperor hadn’t attacked just then, Hee Mengyao's claw would have been aimed at him!
The Devil Clan had no emotions. They only saw humans as bodies, food, and targets of conquest.
“Indeed, no matter how much time has passed, the stench of the Devil Clan remains repulsive…” The Martial Emperor said faintly. He didn’t finish his punch. He twisted his body and threw another punch. The sound of air being torn could be heard, this punch even creating the illusion of “whipping” the air.
The tides below surged wildly, stirring and forming a thin layer of sea fog. With the flow of the seawater and the gushing of Spiritual Energy, looking down from above, it gradually turned into a white spirit fog vortex.
This punch carried the fog, drawing a blank line in the air.
“Fortunately, Senior Martial Emperor's remnant soul has persisted for a thousand years. I still remember the scent of the Devil Clan until now. It is truly an honor for me, but…”
Hee Mengyao revealed a soft, gentle smile. The demonic energy in her hand coiled and formed a long sword. Her smile widened, “The taste of humans is still the same!”
“Boom!”
A circle of white fog exploded in the air.
Black and white intertwined.
On the other side, Guo Fan and the others were also exchanging blows with the Three-headed Heavenly Devil, who had caught up to them.
The Nine Cauldron Grand Formation had been unlocked by the Martial Emperor, and all the Spiritual Energy in their bodies had recovered. Initially, they were at an absolute disadvantage facing the Three-headed Heavenly Devil, but now, they changed their tactics and had the strength to counterattack.
However, they only had the strength to fight back, and the gap in their power was still vast. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to rely on their hammers’ speed to escape. Even a Martial Emperor wouldn't dare to confront them head-on, and the current situation was nearly the same.
Nevertheless, it was much better than before. Although the Three-headed Heavenly Devil had just obtained a brand new body, it looked fierce and powerful, but his body limited his strength. He could only exert power roughly one level higher than this body.
Pann Xiaoying was originally only at the God Forming Stage, the same level as Guo Fan. Although there was now an additional major level, it was like refining the void. She still couldn't overpower a God Forming Stage, and that was when the Heavenly Devil hadn’t fully adapted to this body. The situation was favorable to them, but they couldn't afford to be blindly optimistic. They still had to be extremely cautious and even risk their lives to have a slight chance of winning.
The more troublesome aspect was that the Devil Clan existed in a mist-like form. It was very difficult to catch or kill them. Once they fled, it would be very challenging to deal with them. In a few months, they would become a new threat.
Only by using Yin Fen's body as a cage to trap the Devil Clan could they truly be eliminated.
However, to Guo Fan, who already knew the true weakness of the Devil Clan and had fought every major opponent three or four times, this task was not very troublesome.
The Devil Clan also had a sea of consciousness, but usually, their foggy bodies obscured its specific structure, making it difficult to judge. The sea of consciousness could also move with them, but it would become fixed only when they possessed a body.
In game instance dungeons, this was actually the boss's weakness, increasing its Critical Rate.
“Attack the center of its forehead!”
Guo Fan shouted, repeating his earlier instructions from the scripture depository platform.
“Damn human!”
The Three-headed Heavenly Devil was furious upon hearing this. Her weakness had been exposed, which was catastrophic for the Devil Clan.
In the past, the intimidation from the three songs and fear symbols had prevented anyone from daring to attack its head directly. This fear served as the best protection. But now, following Guo Fan's order, the others attacked its head without hesitation!
Though Qingfu's level was lower, she was of Martial Emperor rank. Two bronze cauldrons surrounded her, exerting heavy pressure that suppressed the Three-headed Heavenly Devil's strength to the God Forming Stage. However, the two little foxes' current strength wasn't sufficient. They could only dodge and use their innate illusion skills to interfere. Meanwhile, the hammer let out a long roar to the sky, its Qi surging to the level of a Seventh Order Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
Since Guo Fan had entered this world months ago, it was rare for him to be the main force. The intense killing intent in his hands indicated this was a battle of equal strength.
He needed to end this battle swiftly! He had to eliminate this human!
The Three-headed Heavenly Devil brandished the long halberd in her hand, accompanied by the fierce sound of rushing wind, and charged at Guo Fan with murderous intent.
Guo Fan was no longer the same as before. His combat techniques and awareness had evolved beyond relying on bodily instincts to unleash skills and moves. After practicing with countless Strange Beasts in the tomb, he could even engage in close combat.
Not to mention…
Guo Fan looked at the shadow in his hand. A fair, slender arm extended from behind him, with the other hand pressing on his shoulder, brimming with spiritual energy. The sword spirit that had awakened at some point seemed to be breathing softly as it let out a gentle laugh.
It used a gentle force to guide his sword moves occasionally.
The battle on both sides was equally fierce. Hee Mengyao's body, although ordinary, seemed different from the usual Devil Clan. Perhaps due to her immense strength, revealing her true form elevated her cultivation to the Void Refinement realm.
Her combat prowess was not inferior to Dong Yuan, who was possessed by a Martial Sovereign.
The battle was extremely intense. White fog explosions continuously erupted on the ocean surface. The sounds of clashing metal and dragon roars intertwined. At one moment, Hee Mengyao repelled “Dong Yuan,” while Guo Fan narrowly avoided the Three-headed Heavenly Devil's attack. The two of them were about to collide.
Hee Mengyao tilted her head and blinked, seeing Guo Fan's staggering figure leaning toward her. She revealed a gentle smile, then suddenly turned around and sped up, her fingers turning into sharp claws, pressing against the young man's back near his heart.
“What a pity. Although I like you very much, you are still human…”
Hee Mengyao softly muttered, “How about becoming one of my kind?”
The tip of her finger moved from his back towards his heart.
……
Devil Cult North Mansion Sub-altar.
Sitting atop a lotus platform, a graceful woman in a black veil, her face obscured, opened her eyes. Her gaze was faintly sharp.
Around the lotus platform, countless pale-white skeletons suddenly appeared, like a group of devils dancing chaotically. They cried and howled in pain as they knelt down in unison towards her.
“It truly worries me…”
