Chapter 1049
Suppressing the Evil Beast!
Dan Yan, Bai Yunzi, and Yun Feiyang also joined the magic circle. Their magic power resonated with Yang Ling's voice, and space began to distort. A huge energy ball slowly formed in the center of the array, condensing the power and determination of all of them.
Upon witnessing this, the Netherworld Beast roared even more furiously, its power surging, as if the entire Netherworld was channeling energy into it. It charged towards the magic circle, attempting to destroy it before it was completed.
"Hold on!" Yang Ling's voice, like a morning bell and evening drum, gave everyone strength. Every disciple's expression was exceptionally resolute; they knew that this was not just a battle, but a decisive battle to protect their homeland and their lives.
As the Netherworld Beast approached, the pressure in the air increased dramatically, and thick, dark clouds filled the sky and earth, as if foreshadowing an impending calamity. Every face was etched with determination; their eyes were resolute, and the magical artifacts in their hands emitted an unprecedented radiance.
Yun Feiyang suddenly took a step forward, and with a mighty wave of his staff, the stars falling from the sky accelerated their descent, transforming into a dazzling rain of starlight swords that enveloped the Netherworld Beast. He shouted, "Starlight Sword Rain, suppress the evil beast!"
Not to be outdone, Bai Yunzi formed hand seals and chanted incantations, creating a massive talisman behind him. The runes contained powerful sealing energy. He loudly proclaimed, "Heaven and Earth Seal, Set!" As his voice fell, the talisman burst forth with intense light, transforming into a chain of light that rapidly coiled around the Netherworld Beast, attempting to immobilize it.
At the center of the formation, Yang Ling's spiritual energy surged to its peak. He knew this was a crucial moment, and he could not afford to fail. He raised his hands to his chest and slowly pushed them out. With his movement, the entire forbidden formation began to emit a deafening roar, and an energy pillar darker than the night sky shot up from the center of the formation, striking the Netherworld Beast directly.
Dan Yan was responsible for coordinating the operation of the entire sect's formation. He traveled everywhere to ensure that the magical power of every member could be accurately gathered into the forbidden formation. Whenever he saw a member whose magical power was slightly unstable, he would immediately step forward, place his hands on their back, and stabilize the flow of their magical power. He constantly encouraged his companions: "Persist! Only by achieving complete unity can we have a chance of victory!"
Bound by the rain of starlight swords and chains of light, the Netherworld Beast roared deafeningly, black energy billowing around its body as it desperately tried to break free. Its bloodshot eyes gazed at the forbidden formation where Yang Ling was, a fierce and cunning light flashing within them.
Yang Ling sensed the intense killing intent emanating from the Netherworld Beast. He took a deep breath, his eyes blazing, and focused intently on controlling the energy within the formation. He clearly felt the flow of every ounce of magical power and the brilliance of every star, all of which, under his guidance, were accumulating towards the final explosion point.
Just then, the Netherworld Beast let out an extremely shrill howl, and then the black energy on its body suddenly expanded, forming a huge black vortex, trying to attract and devour all the spiritual energy around it.
"Oh no, it's going to retaliate!" Upon seeing this, Bai Yunzi hurriedly strengthened the seal, his forehead veins bulging, showing the immense pressure he was under.
Yun Feiyang also felt the pressure increase dramatically. He gritted his teeth and swung his staff violently again, increasing the density and intensity of the Starry Rain of Swords, hoping to buy more time for Yang Ling at the crucial moment.
Time was of the essence. Yang Ling concentrated all his strength and shouted, "Forbidden Array, Explode!" With his command, the entire Forbidden Array was as if a final switch had been triggered. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the power of the stars, and the life force of all the disciples converged into a single line, launching a final assault on the Netherworld Beast.
The entire world seemed to freeze at that moment. Then, a light brighter than the sun and moon burst forth from the center of the formation, shooting straight into the sky and colliding with the black vortex of the Netherworld Beast, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire cultivation world.
The brief silence between heaven and earth shattered abruptly, a deafening roar like a thousand thunderbolts striking simultaneously, shaking the entire cultivation world. Yang Ling, Yun Feiyang, Bai Yunzi, and Dan Yan stood at the center of the forbidden array, feeling the impact of the two immense forces, their hearts tense yet resolute. "Everyone, calm yourselves!" Yang Ling shouted, his gaze sharp as a sword, firmly locking onto the core of the collision. The radiance of the forbidden array grew even more intense, almost illuminating the entire sky, as if day had dawned.
The roar of the Netherworld Beast continued incessantly, its black vortex like a bottomless abyss, frantically devouring the energy of the great formation, but the dazzling starlight stubbornly and relentlessly assaulted it.
Dan Yan stood in a corner of the formation, gripping his longsword tightly. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, yet his eyes were filled with unwavering determination. He said to Yang Ling, "Brother Yang, we must exert all our strength!"
Yang Ling nodded in response: "Dan Yan, your swordsmanship is of utmost importance at this moment. Let us use your sword light to guide the power of the stars and buy us more opportunities!"
Dan Yan took a deep breath, raised his sword, and seemed to transform into a beam of sword light, intertwining with the power of starlight. His sword dance was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, with sword energy overflowing, piercing through the Netherworld Beast's defenses and aiming straight for its vitals.
Yun Feiyang stood in another corner of the formation, his hands raised high with his staff, veins bulging on his forehead, showing his current state of exertion. His voice boomed like a bell: "Power of the stars, gather within me! Starfall Slash!" As his voice fell, a huge starlight slash descended from the sky, heading straight for the Netherworld Beast.
Bai Yunzi stood on the other side, his staff waving rapidly, talismans flying everywhere, his gaze focused and concentrated. He chanted incantations in a low voice, the talismans transforming into chains of light, further reinforcing the seal on the Netherworld Beast. His voice was deep and powerful: "Heaven and Earth Seal, Reset!"
At this moment, the Netherworld Beast felt an immense threat, its roars growing increasingly shrill, and the power of its black vortex intensified. Its eyes, like two blood moons, were fixed on Yang Ling's location, clearly indicating that Yang Ling was the key to this battle.
"Yang Ling, the Netherworld Beast is watching you!" Yun Feiyang warned loudly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Yang Ling remained unmoved, his palms still steadily controlling the energy of the array. His voice was firm: "Though its target is me, our power is one. Everyone, do not slacken your efforts, continue!"
At that moment, the stars in the sky began to twinkle more frequently, as if responding to their determination. Each star emitted a dazzling light, transforming into streaks of starlight that flowed into the forbidden array.
"Power of the stars, lend me your power!" Yang Ling shouted, and starlight poured down like a waterfall, merging with the energy of the great formation and unleashing an even more violent shockwave.
The Netherworld Beast was forced back by this force, its roar tinged with pain. Cracks began to appear at the edge of the black vortex, indicating that the power of the great formation was gradually gaining the upper hand.
Dan Yan's sword light rained down like drops of water, each strike carrying destructive power. Yun Feiyang's starlight slashes relentlessly approached the Netherworld Beast's vitals, while Bai Yunzi's seal firmly bound its form, preventing its escape. (End of Chapter)
