Chapter 1798 Let's join forces and perform the sacrificial ritual.
Just as Mingchuan was in dire straits on Dengyun Terrace, three hundred miles away, at Wangxiantai.
Ah Xiong and Zhao Hu, leading fifty elite warriors from the Battle Hall, had just arrived through the spatial passage when they saw Jin Man, Ye Chuhan, Lin Ruowei, Mu Yaoyao, Chu Huai, and others staring with grim faces in the direction of the Cloud Ascension Platform.
"Sister Jinman! It's Ming-ge's side..." Ah Xiong rushed over anxiously.
Before he finished speaking——
"boom--!!!"
From the direction of the distant Cloud Ascension Platform, a deep yet earth-shaking roar resounded!
Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to tremble violently!
The already dilapidated stone pillars and bases at the Wangxiantai site have cracked and collapsed!
The sky, which had been clear, suddenly darkened. A chilling, evil, chaotic energy fluctuation mixed with the immense power of the moon spread out from the direction of Dengyuntai like a tsunami!
"What...is that?!" Ye Chuhan's eyes widened.
The water mirror in Jinman's hand, which was connected to the Observation Mirror system, fluctuated violently. In the scene, the Cloud Ascension Platform was completely shrouded in a strange light shield that was interwoven with dark red and moon white. Within it, chains could be vaguely seen dancing wildly and screams echoing.
Above the light shield, three vast, ocean-like pillars of moonlight were besieging a constantly flickering silver stream of light!
"It's a Nascent Soul cultivator... three Nascent Soul cultivators are besieging Mingchuan!" Jin Man's voice trembled, her charming face turning deathly pale.
"What?!" Ah Xiong's eyes widened in fury. "Three Nascent Soul cultivators against one Ming Ge?! Doesn't that bitch Yue Yao have any shame?!"
"No! We have to save Ming!" Zhao Hu gripped his longsword and was about to rush out.
"Wait!" Ye Chuhan grabbed him, her face more serious than ever before. "Look around the Cloud Ascension Platform!"
Following his gaze, everyone saw that, centered on the Cloud Ascension Platform, countless faint moonlight runes had appeared in the void within a hundred miles, forming an enormous sealing barrier!
Outside the barrier, the figures of Dragon Roar Temple cultivators patrolling could be faintly seen!
“Yueyao was prepared... She not only planned to sacrifice the talented and kill Mingchuan at Dengyuntai, but also sealed off that area to prevent outsiders from interfering!” Lin Ruowei’s voice was icy.
Chu Huai gritted his teeth: "Forcibly breaking through the barrier will only alert the enemy, and may even result in a backlash from the barrier, or attract more experts from the Dragon Roar Temple!"
"What can we do?! Are we just going to watch Ming get ganged up on and killed by those three shameless old men?!" Ah Xiong's eyes turned red with anxiety.
Jinman stared intently at the perilous silver figure reflected in the water mirror, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
Suddenly, she looked up sharply, a resolute glint in her eyes:
"Ah Xiong, immediately send a message to the four sect leaders, informing them of the incident at Dengyun Terrace and requesting immediate assistance! Saintess Lin and Saint Son Chu, cooperate with our sect's Heavenly Observation Mirror to pinpoint the weak points in the barrier and be ready to bombard them at any time!"
Her eyes flashed with a chilling light:
"Get ready... rush in as soon as a gap appears in the barrier!"
"Even if it means death, we must rescue Mingchuan!"
……
On the Cloud Platform, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
Mingchuan was covered in blood, his black robe was torn, and a deep wound on his left shoulder, revealing bone, was constantly oozing black energy, which was the shadow power of Yue Hanying corroding him.
His breathing was heavy, the silver talisman in his dantian was dimming, and his spatial power was nearly exhausted.
Opposite them, Yue Wuhen and his two companions still possessed an aura as vast as the sea, but their eyes held a hint of solemnity.
The three of them, working together, still couldn't defeat this mid-Nascent Soul stage youth! This kid's spatial laws and combat awareness are simply monstrous!
"This child must not be allowed to live," Yue Qingshuang said coldly. "Otherwise, he will surely become a major threat to our Longyin Temple in the future."
Yue Hanying emerged from the shadows, her voice hoarse: "He won't last much longer."
Yue Wuhen nodded, slowly bringing his hands together in prayer, his body radiating an unprecedentedly brilliant moonlight:
"The final blow will send him on his way."
"The three powers unite, the moon falls—"
The three auras suddenly merged, and a terrifying sphere of light, over a hundred feet in diameter and resembling a real moon falling from the sky, condensed above their heads!
Within the sphere of light, the three powers of moonlight, frost, and shadow blended perfectly, radiating a terrifying aura that could destroy everything!
If this attack lands, not only will Mingchuan be reduced to dust, but even half of Dengyuntai will likely be reduced to ashes!
Mingchuan looked up at the falling moon, blood foam spilling from the corner of his mouth, but there was no fear in his eyes, only a fiercely burning fighting spirit.
He slowly straightened up, his hands forming an ancient and profound hand seal in front of his chest.
Inside his body, the cracked silver talisman began to groan under the strain, yet it stubbornly shone its last light.
"You want to kill me..."
Mingchuan grinned, revealing his bloodstained teeth:
"You will also have to pay the price!"
He suddenly ripped his hands apart to the sides!
"Space—collapses!"
“Rumble——!!!”
Centered on him, the space within a radius of a hundred feet suddenly revealed countless spiderweb-like cracks, like a shattered mirror!
Where the cracks spread, all matter, energy, and even light begin to distort, shatter, and annihilate!
This is a forbidden technique of the laws of space, which sacrifices the complete shattering of a space in exchange for devastating power!
The price is that the caster himself may also be swallowed up by the collapsing space, leaving no trace!
"A madman!" Yue Wuhen's expression changed drastically. "He wants to die together with us!"
"Stop him!" Yue Qingshuang shouted sharply.
The moon orb above the three of them crashed down with a deafening roar!
In front of Mingchuan, the collapsed space was like a gaping maw of an abyss, swallowing everything in its path!
Two destructive forces are about to collide!
At this critical moment——
"Mingchuan—!!!"
A familiar, tearful roar ripped through the sky from outside the barrier and reached the Cloud Ascension Platform!
Mingchuan was startled and turned his head sharply.
At the edge of the barrier, a barely perceptible crack was blasted open by the golden fire and lightning!
Outside the crack, Ah Xiong, his eyes bloodshot, was like a madman, leading Zhao Hu, Ye Chuhan, and all the disciples of the Wan Chuan Sect Battle Hall, rushing in recklessly!
The screams of Leng Xiran, Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan echoed throughout the venue.
Behind them, Jin Man, Lin Ruowei, Chu Huai, and others were doing their best to maintain the crack, their faces pale, clearly at their limit!
“You…you bunch of idiots…” Mingchuan’s eyes welled up with tears.
Fairy Yueyao stood on the high platform, watching the group of Spirit Realm cultivators rushing towards her like moths to a flame, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Since we're already here..."
She parted her red lips slightly and uttered cold words:
"Then let's perform the ritual together."
She raised her hand and gently pressed it towards the crack.
The power of the barrier backfired violently!
"puff--!"
Jinman and the others were struck as if by a heavy blow, and they all coughed up blood and flew backward!
And the crack began to close rapidly!
Ah Xiong and the others had rushed into the barrier, but they were also thrown back by the force of the shock and crashed heavily onto the edge of the Cloud Ascension Platform!
"Oh no... the rift is closing!" Ye Chuhan shouted hoarsely.
Once the rift closes completely, all of them will be trapped and die in this Cloud Ascension Platform, which has turned into a purgatory!
At this moment, the collapse of space in Mingchuan and the fall of the three Nascent Soul cultivators are on the verge of collision!
A devastating hurricane is about to sweep everything away!
The dead end seems to be a foregone conclusion.
However, in that moment of utter silence, in that split second between life and death—
An aged yet steady voice, seemingly piercing through endless void, slowly resounded above the Cloud Ascension Platform:
“Little Yueyao…”
"Your behavior is... utterly disrespectful to cultivators of the Spirit Realm."
As the voice faded, a massive, wrinkled hand, seemingly capable of supporting the heavens, gently pressed down from the void onto the crack in the barrier that was about to close completely.
The palm pressed down lightly.
“Crack!!!!”
The moonlight barrier that enveloped the Cloud Ascension Platform shattered like fragile glass!
