Chapter 106 The Taotie Reappears
Ning Qingxue's forehead was covered in cold sweat, her lips were pale, the Heart-Shattering Bell was cracked by the power of nothingness, the red light on her destiny plate was getting dimmer and dimmer, and she was getting more and more wounds.
But the demonic fire in her eyes burned brighter and brighter. Even when she was in dire straits, she was determined to burn everything to fight for that last chance of survival!
She bit her lip hard, using her blood essence to activate forbidden demonic techniques, engulfing her in demonic flames to clear the flanks of Lu Ming.
The two worked together seamlessly. Lu Ming used his sword to control the battlefield and continuously destroyed the enemy with the power of his Dao Foundation, while Ning Qingxue used her magic to assist and control the situation. At the same time, her destiny chart continuously deduced the next attack of the Void Tide and the auspicious direction of the battlefield.
Each time, they narrowly avoided fatal attacks with Lu Ming.
No matter how desperately they resisted, they were always suppressed by the void black tide, and it seemed that every counterattack was just a futile struggle.
Their living space was constantly compressed, and in the end they could only lean against the bottom of the Divine Cauldron to barely avoid being swallowed by the black tide.
The Divine Cauldron trembled slightly above their heads, its golden cauldron energy constantly washing away the black tide, suppressing the Venerable One's true form and preventing him from breaking free in the slightest. Yet, the overflowing power was enough to crush the two of them.
The Void Elder looked at the two who had been driven to the brink of despair and let out a piercing laugh. Layer upon layer of black tide pressed down, and the aura of destruction completely enveloped the two.
"After struggling for so long, it's time to end this!"
The old man roared deafeningly, but no matter how fiercely the overflowing power attacked, the two men withstood it with their lives and could not deliver a fatal blow.
Lu Ming's attack was just right to counter the power of nothingness, shattering part of his attack.
Ning Qingxue's birth chart can always predict his next move and find auspicious positions on the battlefield, making it extremely difficult for him to cause fatal damage.
Enraged by the prolonged siege, the gray-robed elder went completely mad, immediately summoning the will of the Venerable One beneath the Divine Cauldron, and roared:
"Having been trapped here for thousands of years, today I will risk the backlash from the seal to extract a sliver of my true essence and utterly crush these two juniors!"
The pitch-black vortex beneath the Divine Cauldron churned violently, and the sealed Void Venerable let out a deafening roar.
Despite the backlash from the seal of the Divine Continent Cauldron, the Void Venerable forcibly extracted a wisp of his original power and merged it into the vast black tide!
Countless golden rays instantly descended from the Divine Cauldron, and a hissing sound emanated from within the black vortex.
But in an instant, the Kuroshio underwent a qualitative change!
The original gaseous black mist transformed into a viscous, ink-like liquid, and the aura of destruction surged more than a hundredfold. The entire ninth level of the Daoist temple began to collapse, the earth shattered, and all the divine light began to disintegrate inch by inch.
Even the Divine Cauldron, which suppressed the void, was shaken violently.
This was no longer an ordinary overflow of power, but a fatal blow from the true form of the Void Venerable, intended to completely obliterate Lu Ming and Ning Qingxue and seize Lu Ming's Dao Foundation!
This terrifying surge of energy instantly broke through the barrier of the Nine Extremes Suppressing Void Array, sweeping across the entire Tian Shu Ruins, resounding like an alarm bell throughout the heavens and earth.
Even the outermost perimeter of the ruins felt this terrifying fluctuation!
Countless cultivators heading to the ruins were intimidated by this aura, their spiritual energy instantly stagnates, and many who were flying in the air even fell to the ground.
The cultivators who were fighting instantly lost a lot of magical power and could no longer care about fighting. They all fled as if they were escaping.
They only regretted not having a leg. At this moment, they could not fly and could only flee in a sorry state, fearing that if they were slow, they would be doomed.
With such a terrifying aura, no one dares to covet the opportunities here!
At the outermost edge of the ruins, the spirit of the guardian beast Taotie had recently experienced a great battle, and its golden light was dim and its mind was confused.
But the moment it sensed the slight fluctuation of the Venerable One's true form, the loyal soul that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly awoke!
It is the guardian beast personally appointed by the first Holy Lord of Tian Shu, and it works with the Tian Shu Holy Land to suppress the void. The Nine-Layer Void Suppression Formation is its mission!
A raging fire ignited in the Taotie's crimson eyes, its dog ears stood up, and it roared to the sky, a roar that shattered the heavens.
Ignoring the risk of its spirit dissipating, it shattered the earth with its four hooves, unleashing the power of its beast soul, and charged straight toward the ninth core.
This divine beast, which had been dead for a thousand years, broke through layers of arrays with a martyr-like determination, transforming into a streak of crimson light and rushing straight towards the deadly black tide of the ninth level of the Dao field!
Inside the formation, the liquid, void black tide crashed down like a curtain of the sky, completely enveloping Lu Ming and Ning Qingxue with a suffocating sense of death, making even breathing a painful experience of their souls dissolving.
Despite being in such a desperate situation, Lu Ming persisted, even though he knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Lu Ming's body was filled with a surge of golden light, and even the bloodstains on his body emitted a faint golden light. Despite his body trembling, he still used his last bit of magic power to unleash the Xuanwu Sword Technique, Xuanyan!
The golden sword light traversed the heavens and earth; this was the strongest sword strike he had ever unleashed. Yet, the moment it touched the liquid black tide, it melted away instantly, like ice and snow meeting boiling oil.
Ning Qingxue turned to look at Lu Ming, showing no panic at being trapped in a deadly situation, but instead smiled faintly.
Ning Qingxue burned her last bit of magic power, and purple demonic fire engulfed her entire body.
She placed the Heart-Shattering Bell and the Fate Plate in front of the two of them, and a melodious and ancient incantation rang out as Ning Qingxue activated the forbidden technique of the Lihentian Palace.
Waves of blood energy surged from her body like mist towards the Destiny Plate, and profound Dao patterns lit up on the Destiny Plate. A phantom slowly condensed, and streaks of black lightning struck the Void Tide.
But the black lightning only shattered part of the tide, and more tides surged in instantly.
Having failed in their first attack, the two were now covered in blood and barely breathing.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, facing this apocalyptic scene together!
Ning Qingxue grasped Lu Ming's hand. There was no fear on her face. Instead, she glanced at Lu Ming again and then smiled.
Her smile was tinged with a blood-red sadness, as if mocking the apocalyptic scene, or perhaps as a form of liberation.
Lu Ming was staring intently at the approaching Void Tide, the backlash from his Dao Foundation making him feel like his body was about to split apart.
But he remained defiant! He was still gathering strength for his next attack!
Their sword spirit will never die, their demonic fire will never be extinguished; this is a will etched into their very bones.
Just as the liquid black tide was about to completely engulf the two of them.
boom!!!
A crimson beastly shadow pierced through the void, and the Taotie's enormous, mountain-like body crashed into the void of black tide!
The Taotie spirit, carrying the residual power of the previous eight major formations, instantly caused a continuous stream of celestial winds and malevolent energy from the outer formations to be swept into the black tide.
The Taotie spirit, carrying malevolent energy, clashed violently with the Nine Heavens Gale and the black mist. An annihilation aura swept across the entire area. The Void Venerable's ultimate attack was shattered by this divine beast's desperate struggle!
The Kuroshio Current was shattered by the impact.
Lu Ming and Ning Qingxue were shaken and fell to the ground. Their wounds were excruciatingly painful, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands, but they still managed to raise their eyes to look at each other with difficulty.
Taotie turned around, its broken spirit body blocking the Divine Cauldron and the two people. Crimson light emanated from its body, and its spirit body became increasingly thin.
But its crimson beastly eyes remained fixed on the remaining black tide, emitting a terrifying roar.
