Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Despite the critical situation, Mo Juren did not panic; instead, he became even calmer.

The current situation may seem dangerous, but it's not difficult to grasp the key point: absolutely do not allow the giant dragon stone sculpture to break the seal. As long as this is done, there will be no major problems.

It is obvious that the giant dragon stone sculpture alone is unlikely to be able to break the seal; it needs the woman's assistance to work together from the inside and outside to have a chance.

What he needed to do was simple: obstruct, or even eliminate, the woman.

Having figured this out, he no longer intended to hold back. With a thought, the divine light of destruction once again emanated and swept towards the woman at the altar.

"Overestimating yourself!" Upon seeing this, the woman's expression turned cold. With a gentle wave of her slender hand, the ancient mirror in front of her rapidly transformed, splitting into two, then four... and in the blink of an eye, into dozens of mirrors, completely enveloping the surrounding area, including the gray sphere of light.

The divine light that warded off evil spirits came from all directions, but as before, it was all reflected away.

The woman snorted disdainfully again, but still did not press her advantage. Instead, she planned to continue communicating with the giant dragon sculpture on the altar.

However, at that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, followed by a huge figure appearing overhead.

That was the purple lightning that Mo Juren had quietly released. The moment he appeared, without the slightest hesitation, his huge dragon tail, carrying lightning, slammed down directly.

This sudden turn of events naturally caused the woman's expression to change drastically. She truly hadn't expected that the other party would have an accomplice, who appeared to be a spirit beast, and its strength was extraordinary, probably reaching the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

She naturally didn't take human cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm seriously, but those in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm were completely different. It wasn't just a difference of one major realm, but a qualitative difference.

She was ultimately just a projection clone. Even though she used forbidden techniques to enhance her strength, she was still no match for someone at the late-stage Void Refinement level.

She really couldn't understand how a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could have such a powerful spirit beast.
Could it be that this young man has an extraordinary background?
Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, but she had no time to think about them and could only grit her teeth and deal with them.

However, the purple lightning appeared too suddenly and was so close that the woman didn't have time to dodge it.

With a loud 'boom', dozens of ancient mirrors around it were smashed to pieces by the huge dragon tail, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing.

Fortunately, the woman managed to dodge it, but the ancient mirrors surrounding her flickered, as if they were about to give way, and eventually merged into one.

Mo Juren could clearly see that a large number of cracks had appeared on the surface of the ancient mirror, and its spiritual power had also greatly diminished, clearly indicating that it had been fundamentally damaged.

He was overjoyed and immediately controlled the Divine Light of Destruction to continue the attack. Zi Dian was no exception, and its huge dragon tail struck out again like lightning.

"Damn it!" Faced with the enemy's double attack, the woman's face naturally turned ashen. She wanted to fight back, but the situation had changed. The enemy was strong and she was weak. Her main soul could not come out, and she could not defeat them with just one clone.

What should we do? Should we just give up?
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a subtle, unseen glint flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Without any hesitation, he immediately swung his arm to open the passage, and then his figure flashed and shot out.

Clearly, the woman intended to use the same trick again. It would be best to leave first and then come back when you are ready.

However, this time, Mo Juren, who was prepared, obviously wouldn't give him a chance. The moment the passage opened, he and Zidian transformed into two bolts of lightning and flew into it.

Before the passage was closed, the two had already followed the woman to the outside of the stone hall.

Reappearing in person, Mo Juren glanced around and, upon seeing the surrounding scenery, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Unlike before, all the mysterious patterns on the entire square were now lit up, with endless gray light emanating from them and converging in the sky.

At this moment, the woman floated in the gray glow, her gaze extremely cold.

"I admit I misjudged you, I underestimated you. But human brat, don't be so smug. This is still my territory, and the final outcome is still uncertain." The woman sneered, her tone brimming with confidence. At the same time, the endless gray light around her was being devoured by her, causing her strength to increase rapidly at a visible speed. "Is that so?" Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly. Judging from the current situation, the other party did indeed have some tricks up her sleeve, but he was certain that she was far from being as composed as she appeared.

If they truly possessed absolute strength, they would have already taken action and would never resort to threats. Their current words are merely an attempt to buy time and allow them to recover their strength.

He naturally wouldn't give his opponent a chance to breathe. The Divine Light of Destruction once again spread out, and wherever it passed, the gray glow was directly erased as if ice and snow were melting away.

Mo Juren's eyes lit up with joy. It seemed that what he had thought was the same. The gray glow was filled with evil energy, which was exactly what the divine light could suppress. No wonder the other party had protected that gray light sphere when they were in the main hall.

This also means that as long as he purifies all the rosy light outside, it will be tantamount to cutting off the other party's chance of recovery.

At the same time, the gray orb of light in the main hall will also lose its replenishment, and the giant dragon stone sculpture trapped in the seal will also completely lose its support.

Thinking of this, he directly increased the release of the Divine Light of Annihilation.

As expected, upon seeing this scene, the woman in the gray glow changed her expression again. She flashed and landed on the ground, and then her jade hands moved rapidly, causing the patterns on the square to begin spinning rapidly.

In an instant, it seemed as if endless gray light was forcibly drawn from the depths of the earth, actually resisting the purification of the evil-breaking divine light, and thus a stalemate ensued.

Inside the gray glow, the woman accelerated her absorption, and her strength continued to increase rapidly.

However, this obviously came at a price. It was clear that the energy within his body had become extremely chaotic, as if he were about to explode and die at any moment.

Mo Juren was naturally pleased with this outcome, as opportunities are fleeting. He immediately looked at Zidian, whose body rapidly grew to hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, its enormous tail slamming directly onto the ground below.

"Boom..." The entire square shook violently for a moment, but it quickly stabilized. This performance shocked Mo Juren.

Purple Lightning is an enormous creature with unimaginable power. Its unreserved strike on the ground should cause at least some damage, if not earth-shattering and mountain-collapse.

The unknown formation existing on this plaza is truly extraordinary, possessing such terrifying defensive capabilities.

But that's all. Since it didn't work the first time, he'd just try a few more times. He didn't believe that the plaza could really hold out against the continuous attacks of the Purple Lightning.

So the purple lightning continued its attack on the ground, and its speed increased rapidly, almost to the point of madness.

That's not all. Each of its attacks was not only aimed at the ground, but also directly at the woman's location, forcing her to dodge time and time again.

"Damn it!" The woman was also somewhat frantic, but the timing wasn't right, and she had no choice but to dodge. Fortunately, her escape technique was powerful, so she wasn't actually attacked.

Unlike her, the plaza below had nowhere to hide and, after being attacked dozens of times, finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The ground began to crack, and all the patterns gradually faded, resulting in less and less gray light being extracted.

With the balance shifting, the Divine Light of Destruction quickly gained the upper hand and soon enveloped the woman.

However, upon seeing this, the woman did not panic. Instead, she smiled coldly and opened the passage again, disappearing quickly.

"Not good..." Mo Juren suddenly thought of something and immediately called Zidian to give chase. However, just as they flew to the entrance, a gray-black ball of light shot out, containing terrifying energy.

The next instant, the ball of light exploded with a 'boom'.

The terrifying impact forced Mo Juren and Zidian back instantly. Once they regained their footing and looked ahead again, the entrance to the passage had vanished. (End of Chapter)
