Still, the impact of employing this technique was undeniably profound.
With the addition of Bai Mu, the previously even confrontation rapidly shifted.
Jiang Ye, alongside Bai Mu, managed to overpower the five great masters, including Luo Qian and Hai Yin!
"Damn it."
"We should retreat for now!" Hai Yin gruffly ordered, "Bai Mu cannot sustain this state for long; there’s no need for us to face him directly."
"Indeed, let's fall back," Luo Qian and the others concurred, making preparations to withdraw.
"Attempting to flee?"
"You must be dreaming." Bai Mu's features contorted with fierce animosity. Having been viciously surrounded by the seven great masters earlier, he was not about to let this chance to retaliate slip through his fingers.
"Remain here!" Bai Mu bellowed with all his might.
Buzz~ Seven-hued starlight bloomed, rapidly expanding to form a celestial cage of seven colors, enveloping a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
This formation instantly trapped Luo Qian, Hai Yin, and the other five great masters within its confines.
Inside this seven-colored prison, invisible laws pulsed, seemingly freezing even the void itself, utterly devoid of any air currents.
Seizing this golden opportunity, Jiang Ye unleashed the full might of his Six-Armed Demon God.
"Hua!"
A beam of five-colored spear light tore through the heavens and earth, obliterating all in its path, and surged directly towards the five great masters.
[Luo Shen—Five Spirits!]
Constrained by the seven-colored cage, Luo Qian and his compatriots found themselves with no avenue for escape, their movements utterly restricted.
The five-colored spear light descended, causing the fabric of space to vibrate violently, its potent killing intent aimed squarely at a young man with white hair.
"You think you can strike me with a single spear technique? You're dreaming," the white-haired young man sneered, launching a decisive counterattack.
Hua!
A sliver of ethereal blue blade light materialized, cleaving through the expanse, aiming to intercept the spear thrust from Jiang Ye.
However, in the very next moment, the white-haired young man's countenance shifted dramatically.
"Crack!!"
The five-colored spear beam collided with the ghostly blue blade light, and the latter crumbled instantly, disintegrating into a myriad of luminous particles.
Without missing a beat, the five-colored spear beam continued its inexorable advance, piercing downwards.
"What?"
"Not good." The white-haired young man's expression turned ashen, but he reacted with surprising swiftness, hastily activating a life-saving artifact, conjuring numerous defensive barriers before him.
"Boom!"
The five-colored spear beam impacted the shields, erupting into countless divine flames. These conflagrations engulfed the surroundings, causing the temperature within a thousand-mile radius to skyrocket.
[Divine Flame Talisman]!
This artifact was acquired by Jiang Ye during a previous confrontation with Hei Qing, and empowered by his current strength, it could unleash a fire-based divine ability rivaling the pinnacle of Eighth Break!
Furthermore, this recent strike had perfectly harnessed its formidable power.
The objective was a swift, decisive kill!
"Boom~" The five-colored spear beam detonated with a barrage of divine flames, consuming all in its path.
The series of protective shields deployed by the white-haired youth buckled under the onslaught, steadily diminishing as the spear beam ceaselessly advanced, causing the very void to tremble.
Finally.
"Crack!!"
The final shield fractured, and the five-colored spear beam, now significantly weakened, pierced through the white-haired youth's body like a lightning bolt.
"Pfft~"
The white-haired youth's vital aura began to rapidly wane; though gravely wounded, he had managed to survive.
"What a shame..." Jiang Ye mused with a slight shake of his head. The sheer abundance of life-saving artifacts possessed by these elite talents made a one-hit kill exceedingly difficult to achieve.
"Well done, Brother Wang," Bai Mu remarked, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
Inflicting such severe damage on one opponent would undoubtedly grant them a substantial advantage in the subsequent engagement!
Even if the battle were to become protracted, they could steadily wear down and ultimately defeat these five great masters.
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Luo Qian and Hai Yin clearly grasped this strategic implication, their visages darkening.
"Hang in there."
"We have sufficient life-saving artifacts; they cannot truly defeat us," Luo Qian stated somberly.
Upon hearing this, Hai Yin, the white-haired young man, and the others showed a spark of hope.
In the brutal contests between top-tier talents, the ultimate decider often came down to resources.
After all, the general cultivation levels of all participants were quite comparable.
The individual possessing more life-saving artifacts naturally held a greater probability of survival.
Undeniably, their group of five possessed a greater number of life-saving artifacts than Jiang Ye and Bai Mu combined.
However, just as Luo Qian and Hai Yin finalized their plan.
Suddenly!
"Boom~!" A resounding boom echoed from the heavens.
Immediately following, a cyan figure plummeted from the sky, transforming into a swift streak of cyan light as it hurtled towards the earth below.
"What is that?"
"Not good, it's a prodigy from the Huanglong Civilization!" Luo Qian and Hai Yin's expressions shifted to one of extreme alarm.
A woman clad in a green dress appeared within a streak of cyan light. Her skin was like snow, and her face possessed unparalleled beauty, complemented by a figure that was exquisitely alluring and curvaceous.
However, this captivating charm radiated an aura of icy divinity, warding off any impure thoughts. All who beheld her felt as though they were in the presence of a deity, refraining from any disrespectful contemplation.
She was, in truth, the renowned prodigy of the Huanglong Main Star—Qing Mei!
"Hmm?"
"No, that can't be right." Luo Qian's expression faltered. "She's not descending; it appears she's... falling!"
"What? Falling?" Hai Yin and the others were struck with shock.
Raising their gazes, they observed that Qing Mei was exuding an aura of apocalyptic terror.
It was precisely this terrifying aura that had instilled such profound fear in them mere moments before.
Upon closer inspection, Qing Mei's body was marred by dense, ghastly wounds, each appearing to be fatal.
From this observation, it became evident.
The terrifying aura was not something Qing Mei intentionally unleashed; rather, it stemmed from her inability to control the vital energy surging within her. She was on the verge of self-destruction, risking complete annihilation at any instant!!
"Boom!"
Like a cannonball, Qing Mei slammed into the ground, triggering a colossal and terrifying explosion that carved a crater spanning a hundred miles.
At the epicenter of this immense chasm lay the once enchanting figure, now drained of all life.
...
Buzz—
An immediate and profound silence enveloped the entire battlefield.
Every single individual's gaze was fixed upon that fallen figure, their eyes wide with utter disbelief.
