Chapter 786 - 269: Spirit Beast
Time slowly passed.
The demonic energy within the Demon God Barrier became overwhelmingly dense.
Perhaps it’s because the concentration of demonic energy in the Demon God Barrier was already very close to the concentration on the other side of the Space-Time Rift.
The raging tides of demonic energy gradually calmed.
Under everyone’s relentless slaughter, the Destruction of Evil Spirits and demons were reduced to a small number of demons, barely clinging to life.
Even the Extinction Winds, stirred by the collision and fusion of the two worlds, began to weaken.
Buzz!
Suddenly.
In the Demon God Barrier, the golden bowl suspended above the Space-Time Rift suddenly started to tremble, emitting a crisp and pleasing humming sound.
Upon hearing this bell-like humming, Lin Zheyu’s spirit and soul felt as though they were being cleansed, and a sense of clarity and compassion naturally arose.
"What’s happening?"
Lin Zheyu quickly reacted.
He abruptly lifted his head, looking towards the direction the humming came from.
At the space-time node, the original Buddha’s hand had disappeared, replaced by a colossal Buddha statue standing tall.
The golden bowl was held in the hands of the giant Buddha statue, gently vibrating and emitting resonant hums that reached deep into the soul.
"Indeed, the complete penetration of this space-time node has always been under control."
Lin Zheyu softly murmured, looking up at the giant Buddha’s phantom.
"Get ready!"
"As soon as this space-time node is thoroughly penetrated and stabilized, that’s when Gu Jinghong and the others will launch their attack."
Ji Ziyang said in a deep voice.
The others, upon hearing the bowl’s hum, immediately prepared themselves, as they were not new to this kind of activity.
"Hmph, daring to snatch my opportunity, I’ll fight you to the death!"
Lei Yongtao snorted coldly, staring viciously in Gu Jinghong’s direction.
His left hand gripped a massive thunder battle axe, his right hand held the Nine Radiance Celestial Slaying Spear replica, sparking with crackling lightning arcs.
Tu Yuan’s figure flickered, then disappeared into the magic earth.
The offense and defense under the array are equally critical, especially with a large, hastily arranged array like this, making it hard to account for every detail.
Tu Yuan was invited specifically to handle the array’s underground defenses.
Lin Zheyu stood in place, pushing his sensing field to the extreme, searching the area for hidden enemies.
As events drew to a close, and with the Extinction Winds weakening and demonic energy tides dispersing, Lin Zheyu’s sensing field was much less affected.
"It’s him!"
"As Ji Zitong said, this guy is indeed hiding in the shadows, planning to launch a sneak attack."
"Is it just him, or are there others whose concealment is even better, eluding my senses?"
Lin Zheyu glanced casually at a small hill over nine hundred meters to his left-rear before quickly looking away.
There, a burly man quietly hid, with a faint ethereal glow flickering around him.
"Ziyang, what have you decided?"
"As long as you open the array and let me in, I’ll help you deal with them. How about it?"
Outside the array, Gu Jinghong displayed a faint smile.
"If you kill them, I guarantee to let you in," Ji Ziyang said plainly.
"So you’re saying it’s impossible?"
"Hehe..."
Gu Jinghong chuckled, then turned to the others, "Let’s do it, make it quick!"
As his voice fell, over a dozen figures suddenly shot out from the darkness, rushing toward the array from different directions simultaneously.
Ji Ziyang remained calm.
His right hand lightly tapped a spot within the array, which immediately flashed with intense ethereal light, enveloping Lin Zheyu and the others.
This was the inherent ability of the array, allowing Lin Zheyu and the others to maneuver freely within.
However, as soon as the external enemies entered the array, they felt as though they had plunged into a quagmire, unable to move an inch.
"Hehe, if the young master agrees to come with me, I can help you fight them!"
Suddenly, a familiar playful laugh echoed.
Several figures, some pure, some alluring, some matronly, some girlish, appeared from different directions.
All were Hu Xuefei, but with vastly different styles.
"Sure!"
Lin Zheyu grinned, readily agreeing.
He accepted for now, not intending to keep his word anyway.
"Huh..."
"So that’s settled then!"
Hu Xuefei was momentarily stunned, then all her images threw a coquettish glance at Lin Zheyu.
"Young master, here I come, I’m here to help you, so don’t hit me!"
Her figure flickered, and with the others, she transformed into several figures, rushing towards the area guarded by Lin Zheyu.
Lin Zheyu glanced quickly; with Hu Xuefei, four people were rushing his way.
Oh no, make that five.
One more was lurking in the distance, ready to act when the opportunity arose.
Boom!
Lin Zheyu’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
"Not good!"
"So fast!"
The first man to step into the array felt the wind gust in, his expression shifting slightly.
Swish—
A blade flash flashed by, slashing toward the man’s head.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and in the man’s terrified gaze, a cunning smile appeared.
Above his head, a brass lid suddenly appeared, blocking Lin Zheyu’s attack.
Shh—
At the same time, from different directions, numerous attacks abruptly appeared around Lin Zheyu, crashing towards him.
"Hah!"
Lin Zheyu’s lips curled into a cold smile as well.
His sensing field was already formidable; now, with the array’s assistance, his perception was further enhanced, detecting these machinations long ago.
