Chapter 1748 The Second Tribulation! A True Desperate Situation!
Boom——! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying collision of energy erupted within this narrow space!
The golden-purple sword rainbow and the dark purple beam of light were locked in a stalemate for less than a moment before they exploded with a bang!
The violent energy surge swept outwards in all directions like a burst dam!
Mingchuan was the first to be hit. He groaned and was thrown backward by the shock, his chest heaving with blood and qi.
Ignoring his own safety, his eyes flashed with silver light, and he waved his hands rapidly, unleashing a surge of immense spatial power that instantly created layers upon layers of silver spatial folds and barriers in front of Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan!
Puff puff!
The shockwave slammed into the spatial barrier with a dull thud, shattering the outermost layer. However, subsequent layers successfully deflected, dispersed, and weakened the destructive energy aftershocks.
Even so, the remaining force still made Leng Xi and the other two unsteady, their faces even paler, and their breathing disordered.
As the energy storm subsided and the dust slowly dissipated, the sight before them caused Mingchuan and his companions' pupils to shrink in shock!
Su Hongzhen was still slumped on the edge of the crack, but his appearance was now very different from that of a human!
Previously, only scaly bumps appeared on his skin, but now his skin was completely covered by a dark purple, hard layer that looked like a mixture of rough rock and biological carapace, and sharp bone spurs grew from his joints.
The head was twisted and deformed, the mouth was stretched to the ears, revealing white fangs, and the nose was sunken, leaving only two black holes.
Those eyes had completely transformed into two burning dark purple flames, devoid of any reason, leaving only the most primal desire for destruction and hunger.
His body was still connected to the seal crack, but what surged out was no longer wisps of energy, but dark purple demonic energy like viscous tentacles, deeply embedded in his back, as if connecting him to the abyss below!
The evil demonic power emanating from his body was several times stronger than before, and it was filled with pure impurity and chaos, with no trace of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect's techniques!
Completely corrupted by demonic power!
The human aspect of Su Hongzhen has been completely annihilated. What exists now is nothing more than a powerful demonic puppet controlled by the evil core's will!
"Ho...ho..."
Completely demonized, Su Hongzhen let out a low, unintelligible roar as he struggled to stand up. His dark purple flame eyes were fixed on Ming Chuan, filled with naked killing intent.
What made Mingchuan's heart sink even further was the phantom of the evil core floating above the seal crack.
At this moment, the surface of the phantom was swirling with dark purple light, emanating an ancient and suffocating pressure.
A grand, cold voice, filled with boundless malice and a hint of mockery, resounded directly in everyone's minds:
"Hehehe... We meet again, you tiny but mischievous bug."
That voice... is the will of the Demon Abyss Core!
"You managed to escape several times before, and even took advantage of me..." The voice of the evil core was unhurried, with a hint of mockery, "I have been silent for a long time, thinking about how to completely crush you, this annoying insect."
It paused, and the light from the dark purple crystal core seemed to intensify: "You didn't expect this, did you? I actually used this foolish, greedy, and resentful creature to lure you here."
Are you satisfied?
Mingchuan was shocked, a chill running down his spine to the top of his head.
Could it be... the rampage of evil poison erupting throughout the Spirit Realm, Su Hongzhen's insane plan, or even the appearance and departure of Fairy Yueyao...?
To some extent, were they all manipulated and exploited by this evil core?
It deliberately let Su Hongzhen create chaos, forcing me to deal with it, but here, a trap had already been set for me?!
Even Leng Xiran, Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan were shocked!
Leng Xi gritted her teeth: "This guy is far too cunning! What kind of disgusting thing is this?!"
"you……"
Mingchuan's voice was hoarse as he gripped the Nine Dragons Sword tightly, the golden light on the sword swaying slightly in response to its master's state of mind.
"Surprised? Angry?" The voice of the Evil Core was filled with undisguised sarcasm. "You think you can rest easy just because the seal has been reinforced? You think you can stand against me just because you've united a few sects? Today, your decision to step into this place is your biggest mistake!"
Its dark purple light swept over the completely demonized Su Hongzhen: "Although this body is despicable, it is sufficient for now as a vessel to hold some of my power. It will be much easier to tear open a corner of this annoying seal with his help than for me to break through it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the completely demonized Su Hongzhen let out a deafening roar, suddenly got up from the ground, his body surging with demonic energy, and the demonic tentacles connected to his back danced wildly, with even more massive streams of evil energy being poured into his body through the tentacles!
His aura began to rise again, his target pointing straight to Mingchuan!
Mingchuan's face was extremely ugly.
He instantly realized his predicament, and a frantic brainstorming session ensued.
Stay and fight to the death?
With the evil core's will personally overseeing the situation, and possibly even unleashing more power, coupled with this completely modified demonic puppet whose strength has skyrocketed, the chances of victory for the four of them are slim, and they are highly likely to be completely wiped out here.
Retreat immediately?
Regardless of whether the Evil Core will let them leave easily, once they retreat, the demonic puppet, supported by the Evil Core, will definitely spare no effort to forcibly expand the seal crack!
At that time, demonic energy will surge wildly. With this demonic puppet as a coordinate and vanguard, it will be questionable whether the barrier left by Fairy Yueyao can completely seal it off!
Most importantly, just as Xie He said, the Holy Domain has already been alarmed once, and Fairy Yueyao left in anger. It is impossible for her to come back in the short term!
The Spirit Realm will face the fully erupted Demon Abyss alone!
To advance is to stalemate; to retreat is to annihilate!
A dilemma! A true dead end!
Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan also realized the seriousness of the situation and moved closer to Mingchuan. Their faces were solemn, but their eyes showed no sign of backing down, only a determination to face the situation together with him.
"Mingchuan, what should we do?" Dong Chuyan asked through gritted teeth.
Leng Xi analyzed more calmly: "The evil core intends to force you to stay and fight to the death, or to allow the demon puppet to break the seal. It has calculated your sense of responsibility and the current situation in the spirit realm."
Ran Qianqian was unusually calmer. She gripped Mingchuan's sleeve tightly, her voice soft but firm: "No matter what you choose, we'll be with you!"
Mingchuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. His mind raced, weighing all the possibilities.
A direct confrontation offers no chance of victory, while retreating would have dire consequences... Is there really no third option?
His gaze swept over the completely demonized Su Hongzhen, over the bottomless seal crack, over the barrier above his head flowing with moon-white light, and finally settled on the illusory evil core radiating terrifying energy...
It seems that only the original plan remains: to use the power of spatial laws to move the entire Demon Abyss into the void!
At least this way, it can be completely isolated from the Spirit Realm, so that the people of the Spirit Realm will no longer be troubled by the Demon Abyss!
Mingchuan's face immediately darkened: "I'll send the three of you out. You should hurry and find Sect Leader Ye and have his sects gather here as soon as possible. Tell Sect Leader Ye to bring the space stones, as I'm worried that my space laws won't be enough here."
"No!" Dong Chuyan refused outright. "I must stay with you!"
