Chapter 1007
I can spare your lives
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng immediately realized that this was the enemy leader. He strode forward and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you invading our territory?"
The man in black armor glanced at him indifferently, his voice deep and powerful: "I am the Lord of the Demon Realm, Lord Lan. Your treasure is the key to unlocking my Demon Realm's full-scale invasion. Hand over the treasure, and I may spare your lives."
Ying Zheng sneered, gripping the Thunder Sword tightly: "Lord Lan, you are too arrogant! We will never hand over such a precious treasure to an evil person!"
Lan Mojun said no more, raising his halberd. A black energy surged from the tip, forming a massive black vortex that hurtled towards Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng reacted swiftly, his Thunder Sword transforming into a bolt of lightning that collided with the black energy, creating a deafening explosion.
Ziya and Baiwei also joined the battle, the power of the Wind and Fire Wheels and the Spirit Water Pearl intertwining in the air to form waves of attack, attempting to suppress Lan Mojun's power. Facing the three's combined attack, Lan Mojun not only did not retreat, but instead revealed a cold smile: "Your attacks are simply no match for me."
Xu Fu closed his eyes, and the Heavenly Book flipped rapidly before him. He whispered an ancient incantation: "Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. With the power of the Heavenly Book, seal the gate to the Demon Realm!" As he finished the incantation, the Heavenly Book released a dazzling light that shot straight into the sky and connected with the crack.
The crack began to slowly close under the power of the Heavenly Book, and the Demon Lord Lan's face showed a look of surprise and anger: "How dare you seal my Demon Realm Gate!"
Yang Ling joined the battle, his Heavenly Mirror emitting a beam of light that guided the others to attack Lan Mojun's weak points. He shouted, "Watch out for the hilt of his halberd! That's the source of his power!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately concentrated all his strength, and with his Thunder Sword crackling with lightning, he thrust it towards the hilt of Lan Mojun's halberd. Lan Mojun attempted to defend himself, but Ying Zheng's power far exceeded his expectations; the Thunder Sword pierced through the halberd hilt and shattered it.
Lan Mojun's power weakened instantly. He retreated in terror, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes: "You... you actually destroyed my Demon Halberd..."
At this moment, the crack had completely closed, and the seal on the Demon Realm Gate was complete. The Demon Lord Lan, having lost his source of power, became extremely weak. Ying Zheng gave him no chance to catch his breath, and once again swung the Thunder Sword, aiming straight for the Demon Lord Lan's heart.
Lan Mojun let out a final scream before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air. Seeing their leader fall, the demons scattered and fled, no longer daring to linger on the battlefield.
The group stood on the battlefield, looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with the joy of victory.
This victory is inseparable from everyone's efforts and unity. Ying Zheng sheathed his Thunder Sword, took a deep breath, and said to everyone, "We have won this time, but there is still a long way to go. We must continue to cultivate and improve our strength to meet the greater challenges that may arise in the future."
No sooner had Ying Zheng finished speaking than Xu Fu continued, "Although we have won this battle, we must not be complacent. Although Lord Lan was defeated, the power of the Demon Realm should not be underestimated. We must diligently cultivate and be ready to face new challenges at any time."
Bai Wei smiled gently, the spiritual water bead in her hand shining brightly: "That's true. Moreover, we can find more magical treasures and spells in the Heavenly Book to enhance our strength."
Yang Ling nodded in agreement: "Bai Wei is absolutely right. The Heavenly Book contains endless wisdom, and we should indeed devote ourselves to studying it."
At that moment, the Heavenly Mirror suddenly flashed with light. Yang Ling stared at the mirror, his brows furrowing slightly: "I sense a new force surging, as if a new challenge is about to arrive."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately went on high alert. Ying Zheng gripped his Thunder Sword tightly, his eyes flashing with a fighting spirit: "No matter what the challenge, we will face it together and defeat it together!"
Ziya brandished his Wind and Fire Wheels and shouted excitedly, "That's right, we are the strongest team! No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them together!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed outside the palace, causing the buildings to tremble slightly. Everyone hurriedly stepped out of the palace and saw a giant dragon circling in the sky, its body gleaming with golden light, majestic and mysterious. The dragon slowly descended, transforming into a middle-aged man dressed in golden robes, his face solemn and dignified, his eyes piercing. He bowed slightly to the crowd, his voice loud and deep: "I am the Dragon King of the East Sea. Having heard of your victory over Lord Lan, I have come to offer my congratulations."
Ying Zheng responded with a polite smile: "Thank you, Dragon King. We were merely fulfilling our duty."
The Dragon King said solemnly, "However, the threat from the Demon Realm has not been completely eliminated. I have come here today to form an alliance with you all to fight against the Demon Realm together."
A glint of light flashed in Yang Ling's eyes: "An alliance? This plan is indeed excellent. But I wonder what specific plans the Dragon King has?"
The Dragon King took out a crystal-clear dragon pearl from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Ling: "This is the treasure of my East Sea—the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. It can suppress evil spirits and may be of some help to you in your future battles."
Bai Wei took the divine pearl, felt the powerful force contained within it, and exclaimed, "The power of this divine pearl is incredibly strong. With this, our chances of victory have increased even further."
Xu Fu then turned to the record in the Heavenly Book about the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "The pearl needs to be nurtured with pure water in order to fully exert its effects."
Ziya was eager to try: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly begin cultivating and familiarize ourselves with the power of the Divine Pearl!"
Under the Dragon King's guidance, everyone began to practice the method of using the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The palace was once again filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere, but even more so with determination and anticipation.
Several days later, the group had gained a basic grasp of the divine pearl's power. Standing atop the palace, Ying Zheng gazed at the sky, filled with pride: "With this divine pearl, we will surely protect this land and make the enemies of the Demon Realm retreat in fear!"
Yang Ling remained calm: "Although we have obtained the divine pearl, we must not be careless. The power of the Demon Realm is unfathomable, and we must always be vigilant."
Bai Wei gently stroked the divine pearl, her eyes flashing with unwavering determination: "No matter what the Demon Realm does, we will work together to protect this land we love so dearly."
Xu Fu nodded in agreement, his gaze resolute: "I will continue to study the Heavenly Book and find more ways to fight against the Demon Realm."
Ziya brandished his Wind and Fire Wheels, his fighting spirit soaring: "Where there is battle, there I will be! Let those bastards from the Demon Realm taste our might!"
Just as everyone was in high spirits, the Dragon King suddenly spoke with a solemn expression: "Everyone, I have just received news that the Demon Realm has begun to assemble a large army, intending to launch a full-scale attack on you all."
Ying Zheng's eyes sharpened: "So they're finally coming? Very well, we'll wait here and show them what we're capable of!"
Bai Wei gripped the Spirit Water Pearl tightly, resonating with the power of the Divine Pearl. She felt an unprecedented surge of strength: "I will make them understand how foolish it is to invade our homeland."
Xu Fu emerged from the study, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand: "I found an ancient formation in the celestial book, which may be of assistance to us." (End of Chapter)
