Chapter 74: Monster Fusion, The Three-Headed Colossus
"..."
The chief disciples from the five major sects were all struck with terror, exclaiming in alarm!
Such an intense reaction.
This immediately sent shivers down the spines of the other disciples, as they sensed that something was terribly amiss!
In that moment.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A succession of muffled yet rapid footsteps echoed from a distance.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Numerous towering ancient trees were felled one after another, carving a path through the dense forest.
Soon enough.
Everyone caught sight of the thirteen blood-red monsters charging directly at them!
Among these creatures, three stood an imposing fifteen meters tall!
The remaining ten were all formidable, measuring around ten meters each!
An overwhelmingly potent aura radiated from these blood-hued beasts, replete with savagery, madness, chaos, and bloodlust...
The fifteen-meter-tall monsters already possessed an aura akin to the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm!
Furthermore, they were even marginally more formidable than the average Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm cultivator!
"Prepare for battle!"
"All members of the Ice Heart School, heed my command and assume the formation!"
"All disciples of the Floating Spirit Sect, follow my directive and activate the Floating Spirit Killing Formation in unison!"
"Members of the Starry Abyss Sect, ready the Void Rainbow Sword Technique!"
The various major sects were on high alert and fully prepared!
Disciples' auras swelled one after another, their robes billowing, their Yuan Power churning within, poised to unleash their most potent assaults at a moment's notice!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Over a dozen massive, blood-hued figures charged headfirst, their visages fierce as they launched their attacks.
In that instant.
Everyone realized that these monsters were all converging on the fallen blood-colored beast!
It appeared that they were drawn to the treasure emitting the enticing aroma of blood and qi.
However, there was no time for everyone to contemplate further.
For those monsters had already charged within the range of everyone's onslaughts!
Abruptly.
Whoosh!
A formation barrier materialized from the ground, resembling an inverted glass bowl, shielding everyone within!
It was the defensive formation activated by the cooperative efforts of the Ice Heart School disciples.
The monsters crashed headfirst into the formation barrier one after another.
Instantaneously, numerous ripples emerged on the semi-transparent barrier.
Even more strikingly.
At the points where the three largest blood-hued monsters collided, a series of fine fissures materialized!
"Pu!!"
Within the Ice Heart School, several Spiritual Awakening Realm disciples turned ashen and coughed up fresh blood on the spot!
Fortunately, the sect had supplied them with an abundance of medicinal pills.
They promptly ingested the pills, just barely sustaining the formation!
Simultaneously,
Another large formation took shape.
This was the Floating Spirit Sect's Floating Spirit Killing Formation!
Thirty Floating Spirit Sect disciples each held a formation plate, directing their Yuan Power into it through a distinctive method.
Spiraling wind blades materialized in mid-air, slashing towards the monstrous creatures!
The combined assault of these thirty individuals was immensely potent!
A slightly weaker monster was instantaneously riddled with injuries, with an indeterminable amount of flesh torn away.
Meanwhile,
The members of the Starry Abyss Sect each gripped a long sword, concurrently executing the Void Rainbow Sword Technique.
Jiang Chen also emerged from the palanquin, brandishing the Spiritual Awakening realm long sword bestowed upon him by the sect master and joining the fray.
"Void Rainbow Sixth Sword Style!"
Thirty Starry Abyss Sect disciples simultaneously channeled their Yuan Power in an extraordinary manner, resonating with one another. Countless sword shadows coalesced, invoking the sensation of a majestic Thousand Sword Formation.
In the next instant,
A myriad of sword shadows cascaded like raindrops, annihilating the monsters outside the formation!
Both the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain had their distinct combat styles.
However, the disciples of the Azure Jade Sect emphasized individual battle prowess, resulting in less effective collaborative efforts.
Conversely, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain's combat power was somewhat lacking.
Their primary focus lay in the pursuit of alchemy, which granted them superior combat strength compared to average sects, but still rendered them inferior to top-tier sects at the same level.
Nonetheless,
There were over fifty of them, spanning the Spiritual Awakening and Mysterious Platform realms. Their combined combat power was equally impressive!
A barrage of attacks struck the monsters, splattering blood and gore in all directions.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
One blood-hued monster after another unleashed deafening roars, assailing the Ice Heart School's defensive formation as if driven to madness.
"Quick!"
"Accelerate the assault!"
"We can't endure much longer!"
The chief disciple of the Ice Heart School, Miao Xiaorui, turned ashen and cried out in desperation.
"We want to slay them too!"
"But these monsters possess such formidable regenerative capabilities! Had it been an ordinary Mysterious Platform realm, they would have been overwhelmed to death by now, yet they persist!"
"Enough chatter, strike with your full might! If we let them breach our defenses, we may suffer substantial losses!"
"We're fortunate that Senior Brother Jiang Chen urged us to collaborate. Otherwise, should a single sect encounter these beasts, they'd be obliterated!"
Everyone yelled and ceaselessly unleashed their attacks!
Some even had their artifact longswords, wielded by those in the Spiritual Awakening realm, bent from the relentless strikes!
Jiang Chen persistently launched assaults while keeping an eye on Ye Fan.
He observed Ye Fan brandishing a long spear, continuously sweeping out energy blades. The combat prowess exhibited surpassed that of an ordinary Late-stage Spiritual Awakening realm.
However,
The disciples of the Azure Jade Sect surrounding him seemed unfazed.
Clearly, Ye Fan had already showcased this level of power in their presence.
'This individual is incredibly cautious; the power he displays must only be a fraction of his true capabilities.'
'His genuine combat prowess must have attained the Mysterious Platform realm, and not merely an ordinary one. Otherwise, how could he distinguish himself among so many and reap the most significant rewards?'
'...'
Jiang Chen contemplated in his heart.
His assaults did not cease either.
Gradually.
The ten weaker blood-colored creatures could no longer endure the relentless assault.
Their bodies were severely battered, almost reduced to skeletal forms.
In merely a dozen more breaths, they would unquestionably perish!
"Quick! Exert more effort!"
"Once we eliminate those ten weaker monsters, we can focus our strength on attacking the three more formidable ones and eradicate them all!"
"Behold my Thunderous Lightning Storm! Go!"
"Rainbow Sword Shatters the Heavens! Slay!"
Over a hundred Spiritual Awakening and Mysterious Platform realm cultivators were giving it their all!
Various potent moves sliced through the air, relentlessly assailing the bodies of those monsters.
Witnessing the three more powerful monsters becoming riddled with injuries and the ten weaker ones teetering on the brink of death,
Everyone couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief, sensing that the battle was drawing to a close.
However.
At that very moment!
The ten weaker blood-colored monsters astonishingly abandoned their attack formation and instead rushed toward the three stronger monsters.
This sight momentarily dumbfounded everyone.
Immediately afterward, an even more peculiar event transpired.
The ten weaker monsters collided with the three stronger blood-colored monsters, their heads plunging directly into the flesh of the others!
Not only that.
Innumerable muscles sprouted on the bodies of all the monsters, writhing like serpents, interlacing with one another!
In the blink of an eye.
The ten somewhat weaker monsters served as bonds, linking the three more formidable monsters together to forge a three-headed colossal beast!
"Roar, roar, roar!!"
The three-headed colossal beast bellowed toward the heavens.
Not only did its wounds mend instantaneously, but its aura also intensified, surpassing the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm and advancing to the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm!
