She could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the arrow: the purifying power of the Evil-Slaying Dragon, the blazing heat of the Light Dragon King, the annihilation of the Dark Dragon King, plus the power of the sun, moon, and stars—four completely different powers that were perfectly fused together at this moment!
A sharp roar came from the Demon Emperor's mouth, and he used all his remaining strength to condense a shield that was tens of feet thick, the surface of which was covered with twisted black patterns.
The vast disparity in strength rendered all resistance futile.
The crimson shield, as fragile as paper, shattered with a crisp sound, and the arrow, carrying unstoppable force, pierced through the Demon Emperor's towering chest.
The three-colored light mercilessly annihilated the Abyss Emperor. Her gaping mouth seemed to be delivering her last words. Time was of the essence, and her frail body turned into a sky full of black ash.
The arrow's momentum remained undiminished!
The arrow, its residual force still lingering, trailed a hundred-foot-long, starlight-like tail as it hurtled towards Ba Huang, who was locked in combat with Zhang Huanyun. The light at the arrow's tip intensified, leaving behind a spatial rift that lingered for a long time.
"Well done, you didn't embarrass yourself!"
Zhang Huanyun's eyes lit up as he understood the intention of the Ancient Star Decree. He then activated the Mirror Domain to contract, and countless golden mirrors were pieced together around Emperor Ba to form an airtight cage.
"Certainly!"
Zhang Huanyun formed a hand seal, and all the mirrors simultaneously erupted with dazzling golden light, imprisoning Ba Huang's massive body in place.
An arrow streaked across the sky, and the Emperor Ba excitedly welcomed it into his arms!
"Oh!"
Grayish-brown bits of flesh mixed with thick, black blood splattered out, and the stench instantly filled the entire battlefield.
Qian Gu Xing Ci released his left hand, and the giant bow with star patterns vanished into starlight. He swayed, almost falling from mid-air, and Fa Lian hurriedly reached out his other hand to support him. This arrow had almost drained ninety percent of his soul power, his three soul cores had become dim and lifeless, and his six soul spirits had fallen into a deep slumber.
"pretty!..."
Zhang Huanyun's face suddenly turned ashen, as if he had just opened a door to see two Limit Douluos, Duqing and Wuqing, exchanging feelings and pouring out their grievances.
Ba Huang slowly stood up from the giant pit.
The potentially fatal hole in its chest was healing at a visible speed. The ruptured muscle fibers writhed, coiled, and glued together like countless tiny black snakes; grayish-white bones pierced through the flesh and were quickly enveloped by new tissue; black blood flowed backward, sending chills down one's spine.
In less than three breaths, the wound on Ba Huang's chest had healed to about 70-80%. It shook its head and let out a deafening roar, its eyes burning with an even more intense ferocity than before.
"This thing's regenerative ability is fucking disgusting!" Zhang Huanyun cursed and quickly backed away to create distance.
Qian Gu Xing Ci released his left hand, and the bow and arrow turned into starlight and dissipated. This arrow had consumed a great deal of energy. He leaned against the Dharma image and saw the tormenting scene of Ba Huang. His attention subconsciously focused on another place.
I'm so envious of this golden-haired lion mastiff! Its dominance over its territory and the elimination of pain set the stage for its insane fighting style, and regeneration is the last piece of the puzzle it's missing!
The battle on the side of the six great soul spirits has come to a perfect end. Their quality and age are all top-notch, and they also have the amplification of Dharma form and the suppression of domain. Taking down one-seventh of the Demon Emperor's projection is no problem at all.
"His aura is getting weaker..." Zhang Huanyun finally received the only good news so far.
Feeling the power surge into his brow and dantian, Qian Gu Xing Ci found the reason for Ba Huang's weakening. The moment the Three Dragon Arrows pierced through Ba Huang, they devoured a portion of Ba Huang's essence.
"It's a pity, but we still can't violate the law of conservation of energy."
The plan to gradually grind himself to godhood through Ba Huang has failed. In this situation, Qian Gu Xing Ci believes that he should shed two tears to mourn the brain cells that died for this plan.
The idea of killing without tormenting life is thrown to the winds. The memory of admonishing Yuan En Hui to have dangerous thoughts is cleared from his mind. The dragon-slaying boy eventually becomes the evil dragon!
"It's alright, the Blood God Formation is already repairing the cracks. We'll wait for Old Cao to come and join forces to kill him."
The nine-colored halo moved across the seal's surface like a living thing, gradually mending the fine spiderweb-like cracks, and forcing the original abyssal aura to retreat step by step. The situation was excellent; if it weren't for the seemingly invincible Ba Huang before them, it would be perfect.
After having part of his essence devoured by that arrow, Ba Huang's strength was noticeably weakened. Zhang Huanyun maneuvered with ease, no longer needing to exert his full strength to withstand the attack from his Mirror Domain.
"Although that all-out attack had little effect, I could have worn down Ba Huang little by little, but... why waste time when there's a better opportunity?"
If Zhang Huanyun can escape, the pressure from this Abyss Tide will be much less.
Instead of stepping forward to support Zhang Huanyun, Qian Gu Xing Ci turned around and rushed straight towards the nine-colored halo activated by the Blood God Array. He reached out and gently touched the flowing light barrier.
Within the Blood God Formation, the consciousnesses of the nine Blood Gods, along with the halo, sensed the movements of the outside world.
"What is he trying to do?" Xue Wu asked in confusion. After Qian Gu Xing Ci dealt with Mei Huang, he should have immediately escaped to join the battle or free Zhang Huan Yun.
Chapter 181 The Limits of the Spiritual Realm, I've Understood, Abyss Express Delivery Point
"Is this sensing the power of the nine natural spirits?" The Blood Gods discussed the ancient star's actions in a flurry of voices.
"Such powerful mental strength." Cao Dezhi's voice suddenly rang out. He could clearly sense that Qian Gu Xing Ci's total mental strength had reached an extremely terrifying level, yet it was as if it were wrapped in a thin film, deliberately suppressing the critical point of qualitative change.
In other words, if he wanted to, he could break through that barrier at any time and step into the Spirit Realm, which countless Soul Masters dream of.
The power he had accumulated from slaying abyssal creatures erupted at this moment, and a hazy golden light slowly rose from Qian Gu Xing Ci's body. He was indeed pursuing a qualitative change, but it was by no means a change like a breakthrough in realm that the world was familiar with.
Cao Dezhi felt a unique charm in the ever-increasing spiritual power of the ancient star poem.
"Time, he is pursuing the attribute of time, and he has even embarked on that path!"
A gentle aura quietly seeped into Qian Gu Xing Ci's body. He felt a jolt in his heart, knowing that someone had seen through his intentions and given him a push.
In the rules of the Douluo Continent, time is a further evolution of spiritual power. Back then, the second most ferocious beast on the continent, the Evil Emperor, comprehended the laws of time with his unparalleled spiritual power and created his own ultimate technique, Light of Time and Space. Even the Beast God Di Tian took a thousand years to recover from a single blow.
When a Soul Master breaks through to the Spirit Domain Realm, the awakened spiritual domain depends entirely on their own characteristics. The Golden Dragon King controls time, and Tang Wulin's domain is affected by it. Qian Gu Xing Ci had long planned that if he could touch time first, his spiritual domain would very likely evolve in this direction.
Simply understanding the terrifying effects of the time attribute in combat is worth the effort.
"In the eyes of a Soul Master with strong spiritual power, all movement slows down. Speed, strength, and weakness are all relative..."
Since it's a gamble, there's no turning back. The Ancient Star Decree sent the newly condensed Seed of Time into the embryonic form of the Purple Star Spiritual Soul Core. The next second, a vast surge of spiritual power erupted like a tsunami!
His figure darted swiftly through the passage, and he abandoned his suppression, beginning his breakthrough to the Spirit Realm.
"Xingci, I found your package at the collection point I set up in the Abyss. I picked it up and even removed the little mark left by the Abyss Saint Lord. You can use it without worry." A gentle voice echoed in Qian Gu Xingci's mind.
The personal information on the delivery box must be cremated to prevent fraud and deception within the Abyss Park. The Golden Tree Spirit smiled knowingly as he looked at the aura he had thrown into the sixth level of the Abyss.
Emperor Zhi looked at the shards in his hand, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "What instructions does the Holy Ruler have?"
On the battlefield, Qian Gu Xing Ci swayed and landed back beside Zhang Huan Yun.
Looking at the returning Eternal Star, Zhang Huanyun asked, "Is the situation over there good or bad?"
Qian Gu Xingci stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and his tone carried a carefree air of having seen through the fog: "I understand!"
It's hardened, its fists are hardened!
Zhang Huanyun's temple throbbed. He suppressed the urge to throw him and Ba Huang face-to-face to get beaten up together. He asked, "How's the situation?" and the response was, "I understand."
Before Zhang Huanyun could react, a profound fluctuation spread from the core of the Ancient Star Verse, and the surrounding environment pulsed with his breath and heartbeat.
"Commander, use your strongest move and give him a big one." Qian Gu Xing Ci put one hand on Zhang Huan Yun's shoulder.
A faint mark landed inside Zhang Huanyun's body. He thought that Qian Gu Xing Ci's performance had always been reliable, so he shouldn't be making baseless accusations.
"I hope you really have some tricks up your sleeve, or I'll put you in solitary confinement later!"
The last crimson soul ring around his body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and an ancient and heavy stone platform slowly floated into the air. A bright mirror hung high on the stone platform, reflecting all things in heaven and earth.
"Mirror Platform!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Qian Gu Xingci crossed his arms, then stretched them out. The powerful fluctuations of his spiritual energy caused Zhang Huanyun's consciousness to momentarily become hazy.
After recovering, Zhang Huanyun was covered in cold sweat. The momentary lapse in concentration during the battle of Limit Douluo could have seriously injured or even killed him instantly.
The spiritual consciousness manifests itself, forming a world of its own.
Spiritual power at the Spirit Realm level, broken!
"The realm of the spirit, its limits." Qian Gu Xing Ci's calm and ethereal voice echoed throughout the space.
Within the Realm of Limits, there exists what appears to be an independent and complete world, where the ancient star bears the weight of the sun and moon, and is itself a star. This world is flat and round, with a milky-white bell at the highest point of the sky, which is the true core of the Realm of Limits.
The copper bell trembled slightly, emitting a sound as melodious and ethereal as a whale's cry.
The world was put on pause. Ba Huang's waving tail stopped, his ferocious expression froze on his face, and he became a still, dark green sculpture. Only Qian Gu Xing Ci and Zhang Huan Yun, who had been given administrative authority, were still able to move freely.
Zhang Huanyun flexed his wrist, realizing it was the trick left behind when Qian Gu Xing Ci patted his shoulder so disrespectfully earlier.
"Revenge for every grudge, sue for every grievance, Commander!"
Qian Gu Xing Ci was sidelined, stirring up trouble, while a level 98 Super Douluo with a four-word battle armor displayed such pathetic performance. If this attack couldn't reach Ba Huang's heart, then we'd have to consider his eyes, brain, and the meridian connection between them.
"Triple the power of Mirror Platform, attack!"
Zhang Huanyun also felt a bit embarrassed, so he was determined to unleash his ninth soul skill at triple power!
The Mirror Platform, suspended in mid-air, suddenly magnified three times, and countless golden rays shot out from the mirror, weaving into an impenetrable net of light.
Golden rays of light poured down like a torrential rain, each one precisely targeting the location of Ba Huang's heart.
In the absolute stillness of the realm, Ba Huang could only watch helplessly as the beams of light, powerful enough to tear apart the defenses of a Limit Douluo, pierced through his flesh and bones, precisely embedding themselves into his beating black heart.
The ancient stars wave goodbye, and the bronze bell rings once more.
Time resumed its flow.
"Pfft—!"
Hundreds of jets of blood gushed from Ba Huang's chest simultaneously, black blood mixed with fragments of his shattered heart, splattering everywhere. Ba Huang let out a heart-wrenching roar, his massive body convulsing violently.
The residual power of the golden light clung to the wound like a leech.
"Finally hit it!" Zhang Huanyun breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the ability of the End of the Eternal Star Decree to stop time, he would never have been able to accurately hit this heart that was running around everywhere.
Ba Huang's roar suddenly became even more frenzied, as he made his final struggle before dying.
"Not quite dead yet?" Zhang Huanyun frowned, and was about to add another mirror stand when he saw a golden light flash past him.
Qian Gu Xing Ci, wielding the Panlong Staff, charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
A pale blue halo enveloped the Panlong Staff, and the phantom of the Evil-Slaying Dragon reappeared on the staff, emitting a deafening roar.
The surge of spiritual power brought about by the breakthrough to the Spirit Realm broke through the shackles of the physical body. His Body Sect's innate secret technique, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, broke through to the third realm in response.
Reshape!
Simultaneously, his entire skeleton emitted a series of fine, popping sounds, his muscle fibers tore apart in an instant and then reassembled at an even faster pace, and every inch of his skin shone with a warm, jade-like luster. His already superior physical body had undergone a complete transformation, and his dormant power awakened within him like a volcano.
Sensing the surge of its master's aura, the Panlong Staff emitted a humming vibration, and its entire shaft burst forth with dazzling starlight. Qian Gu Xing Ci gripped the Panlong Staff tightly, and with a single strike relying solely on his physical strength, he pierced through Ba Huang's terrifying defenses.
"die!"
