"Understood."
Yun Wanshang, who was holding a light golden mystical sword, stood steadfastly by Lu Changsheng's side. Her ethereal, rainbow-hued palace gown rippled, and her entire bearing exuded an imposing aura. She recognized the necessity of conserving her strength in such a precarious situation.
Qian Zhuyan remained stoic, his imposing figure exuding a dark, cold metallic sheen, much like an implacable war machine poised for immediate action.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng soared above, viciously dispatching the encroaching strange creatures. The primary combatants, however, were Lu Changsheng and the Soul-devouring Beast.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Billowing waves of dark, spectral demonic qi surged and expanded.
Now in its combat transformation, the Punishing Beast, Tihun, exhibited a terrifying presence, far surpassing the lesser strange creatures, appearing as an unparalleled demon of destruction.
It relentlessly consumed the endless swarm of strange creatures, whose bloodshot, monstrous eyes were wide with shrill, agonizing roars.
Despite the majority of the strange creatures and ghost demons possessing only Second Rank power,
the sheer volume devoured in such a short span made it impossible for Tihun to engage in its usual gradual refinement process. For a fleeting moment, it became shrouded in an ominous black mist, with menacing crimson horns adorning its head.Its back, clad in dark, glistening hair, seemed to writhe with countless malevolent spirits, coalescing into the form of an ultimate Ghost King.
Even Yun Wanshang, standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment and trepidation at the grotesque spectacle of the Soul-devouring Beast.
"He possesses such a formidable spirit beast. Why did he not unleash it when we confronted the Yiming Ghost Sect?"
Yun Wanshang recalled Lu Changsheng's disguise as the True Master Yangming to challenge the Yiming Ghost Sect's formidable defenses.
A sense of bewilderment washed over her, pondering how the Yiming Ghost Sect could have possibly withstood such a devastating spiritual companion if it had been employed then.
Lu Changsheng, unaware of Yun Wanshang's internal musings, felt his dormant mana, suppressed for over three years, surge back to life upon entering this peculiar realm, delivering an sensation of profound tranquility.
"Clang, clang, clang!!!"
The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his grasp vibrated intensely, erupting with a radiant sword light that pierced the heavens and the earth. It cascaded like celestial radiance through the darkened sky, dazzlingly cleaving through the encroaching strange creatures.
With a single, decisive stroke from Lu Changsheng's sword, the stagnant, deathly-still ghostly black clouds were torn asunder.
"This particular sword light!?"
Yun Wanshang's eyes widened in surprise as she turned her gaze sharply towards Lu Changsheng.
She had witnessed him wield the Great Luo Sword Embryo prior to this moment.
However, the Great Luo Sword Embryo, previously only partially activated due to his suppressed Qi and blood magical power, was now a starkly different entity compared to its full might after his powers had been restored.
This blade, imbued with the origin of the Sword Dao, possessed the capability to instantly obliterate numerous cultivators at the Core Formation Great Master stage!
Consequently, Yun Wanshang found herself utterly astonished.
She gained a profound understanding that Lu Changsheng's cultivation level and combat prowess were far more remarkable than she had initially conceived.
Furthermore, his mastery over the Sword Dao was so profound that it hinted at a state where a single sword strike could dismantle all opposing techniques!
This… this was simply unbelievable…
Within Yun Wanshang, a powerful wave of shock surged, lingering and difficult to dissipate for an extended period.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
A subtle smile graced Lu Changsheng's lips, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand quivered violently. With every resonant hum, a beam of sword light erupted, rending the very fabric of the heavens and annihilating countless demons.
Yet, in comparison to the peerless demon-slaying star by his side, his own techniques seemed somewhat less impactful.
Sensing not only the resurgence of his Qi and blood magical power but also an inexplicable infusion of celestial potency, Lu Changsheng's Fourth Rank Physique began to stir and surge with renewed vigor.
The Qi and blood coursing through his entire being resembled a primordial volcano erupting, a celestial river breaching its banks, surging with unrestrained intensity. A terrifying essence energy shot skyward from the crown of his head, blazing like a beacon.
Instantly, a swirling vortex of chaos materialized around him, evoking the primordial moments of the world's creation.
Innumerable figures of Immortal Kings, Divine Beings, Dragons, and Phoenixes manifested, purifying and annihilating the surrounding ghostly demonic qi and the advancing strange creatures.
Physical Body Divine Skill — Chaos Myriad Manifestations!
Witnessing Lu Changsheng's awe-inspiring display, Yun Wanshang was once again plunged into a state of stunned disbelief.
However, a sense of relief soon followed.
She finally grasped the reason why the Array Spirit had summoned Lu Changsheng to this location for the arduous task of sealing the demon.
Indeed, with such extraordinary abilities and immense strength, few individuals within the Land of Eternal Night could be considered more fitting for the role of demon sealer.
Nevertheless, such exceptional displays of power undoubtedly came at a significant cost.
After nearly an hour had elapsed, Lu Changsheng began to experience the onset of fatigue, with the majority of his mystic energy depleted.
Even though he possessed a Fourth Rank Physique and an abundance of mystic energy,
the relentless application of divine skills and the Great Luo Sword Embryo without respite would strain even a Nascent Soul True Lord's endurance.Moreover, this particular desolate realm was notably deficient in Spiritual Energy, preventing any replenishment of his mystic energy.
While his Chaos Body possessed the capacity to refine ghostly demonic qi for sustenance,
neither his cultivation technique nor his innate constitution permitted such protracted states of imbalance.Using it for a brief period posed no issue, yet sustained application would undoubtedly damage his Origin Source.
"You can recuperate within the formation arrays situated in the southeastern region for the time being, as my power will continue to bolster you."
"Nevertheless, endeavor to utilize the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Power to its fullest extent, rather than expending your own physical strength."
As if perceiving Lu Changsheng's exhaustion, a frail, aged voice resonated from the deepest recesses of the Demon Abyss, offering counsel.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng's gaze immediately fell upon a dazzling barrier, woven from five-colored array patterns, shimmering in the southeast.
"Thank you kindly, senior!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Yun Wanshang and Qian Zhuyan, swiftly moved towards the array patterns to rest and regain their strength.
Malformed beings launched themselves at Lu Changsheng, who remained ensconced behind the protection of the five-colored array patterns, only to be repelled. Simultaneously, flashes of spiritual light erupted, generating dense black mists that caused the attackers to disintegrate.
"Completely eradicating these monstrous entities in this location is simply not feasible within a short timeframe."
Observing the tumultuous scene unfolding within the Demon Abyss, Yun Wanshang voiced her concerns with a somber expression.
She was well aware that their appointed task entailed not only sealing the demon but also purging the demonic creatures and adverse qi, in addition to restoring the integrity of the seal.
However, even with Lu Changsheng's recuperation and the Soul-calling Beast’s formidable demon-exterminating capabilities, a swift conclusion remained elusive.
"Fear not, I possess alternative strategies."
Lu Changsheng gently clasped Yun Wanshang's delicate hand, his voice soft as he continued to draw upon the empowering blessings of the formation.
