Chapter 737: Chapter 411: Two Spirit Ancestors_2
Accompanied by a surge of tumultuous spiritual power, the branches of the Xunmu in the area vibrated instantaneously. The overwhelming power of Xunmu surged violently, and in a moment, from the flat surface of the Xunmu beneath everyone’s feet, sections of bright emerald-new branches and leaves extended, continuously growing, transforming into wooden green dragons that twisted towards Shen Borui and the others, threatening to strangle them!
“Embrace all rivers!”
Shen Borui and Long Shaochang exclaimed in unison.
Both reacted extremely quickly. At this moment, facing two figures from the Blood Exchange Realm—even though one was newly promoted and not as strong as the Spirit Ancestor Ling Huan—they undeniably posed a threat greater than the Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters. United in their efforts, the threat was substantial; a single misstep could bury them all right there!
Clash!!!
All the grandmasters present, who traversed the Outer Sea, recognized the grave danger of the situation and, without any hesitation, cooperated fully. They connected through Artistic Conception, forming a surging Vast Ocean.
This ocean water roared and churned, seemingly solidifying into an endless vortex that could swallow everything in the world.
Boom!
The vortex continuously collided with the wooden green dragons attacking from all directions, creating sounds like waves crashing against the shore, thunderously rumbling, with never-ending tides.
Despite the fierce and formidable resilience of these wooden green dragons, they could never breach the whirling ocean tides to break through.
However,
Neither Shen Borui, Long Shaochang, nor other grandmasters dared to be careless at this moment; none felt even slightly at ease.
Because what they were holding off was only Ling Ji, newly promoted to the realm of Blood Exchange. Although the opponent’s maneuvers and aura reached the level of the Blood Exchange Realm, they could still sense Ling Ji’s weaknesses in direct confrontation. In terms of strength, Ling Ji probably ranked among the weakest in the Blood Exchange Realm. Compared to the grandmasters from the Vast Ocean Pavilion and Pure Sea Palace in their realms, there was a clear shortcoming. Thus, everyone working together could almost easily hold off the assault.
Yet, the issue was the presence of another—Ling Huan!
This individual was the Spirit Ancestor who had ruled over the Spirit People Race for a thousand years, residing in the Blood Exchange Realm with terrifying strength.
It was indeed Ling Huan who had taken advantage of their distraction and suddenly struck, killing a grandmaster from the Vast Ocean Pavilion on the spot. Now, the corpse was obliterated between their clashing forces.
Ling Huan seemed intent on sharpening Ling Ji’s techniques and did not strike immediately, merely placing immense mental pressure on Shen Borui and the others from the side. However, he didn’t wait too long; after a brief silence, he casually lifted his right hand, forming a Finger Print.
“Sacred Tree Blossoming.”
Along with the aged voice of Ling Huan reverberating,
Those ferociously attacking wooden dragons briefly halted, then abruptly, bright red flowers sprouted lushly along their robust bodies, each petal crystalline and glittering like glass.
His!
With a flick of Ling Huan’s fingers, those countless petals instantly dispersed, transforming into a sky filled with floral rain. Each flower contained highly concentrated Xunmu power, like blades whistling as they swept across.
Initially, Shen Borui and the others had easily blocked the coiling wooden dragons, but now with Ling Huan’s intervention, the sky filled with petals was like relentless knife slices pouring down, instantly intensifying the pressure on the Vast Ocean Great Formation!
With more than ten massive wooden dragons circling and entwining, bringing with them a sky full of petals, they clashed with the oceanic vortex continuously. After a stalemate, the balance started to break.
Pop.
A petal quietly penetrated the oceanic vortex, flying toward the inner side of the Vast Ocean Formation.
Directly in its path was a grandmaster from the Pure Sea Palace, his expression intensely solemn as he maintained the operation of the Vast Ocean Great Formation, while also slightly struggling to lift his right hand, flicking his finger.
Pop!
The petal shattered with his flick, causing no damage.
But immediately after, the second and third petals began to permeate the tide, attacking from all directions.
Some were shattered by the flicking fingers of the grandmasters from the Pure Sea Palace and Vast Ocean Pavilion, but others were too numerous to handle, whistling past, slicing through clothing, and leaving trails of blood on the skin, causing droplets of blood to spurt.
“…”
Seeing the situation gradually deteriorating, Shen Borui and Long Shaochang exchanged looks, their faces painted with an ugly expression.
Unable to withstand it!
When two Blood Exchange Realm beings of the Spirit People Race joined forces, even if the newly promoted one was not particularly strong, the mere pressure of his support allowed Ling Huan to attack more wildly.
Moreover, they were initially unprepared, and Ling Huan killed one of them at the start, which made the situation even more difficult!
If it had been just Ling Huan alone, then even if they lost two or three more people, they would still have confidence to withstand him, but the addition of Ling Ji changed everything completely. According to Shen Borui and Long Shaochang’s judgement, at least four or five more people would be needed to fully block them!
Lacking these four or five people created a fatal imbalance!
If this continued, their Vast Ocean Great Formation would eventually be completely worn down, and ultimately, everyone would perish here.
“This won’t do.”
As he watched more petals breach the defense and invade, Long Shaochang’s heart gradually sank.
Shen Borui took a deep breath at that moment, casting his gaze towards Long Shaochang. Though he didn’t speak, Long Shaochang understood what Shen Borui meant, but hesitation still rose in his heart.
If they couldn’t hold the front, the only way out was to flee, but that path was almost certainly a desperate gamble!
Although they had many people and could briefly break free from the situation with the explosion of the Vast Ocean Great Formation, once they scattered to flee, those who were targeted by Ling Huan and Ling Ji were almost certainly doomed, with virtually no chance of escaping from their grasp.
The only thing they could rely on was the possibility of splitting up into over twenty people, each fleeing in different directions, thereby preventing Ling Huan and Ling Ji from being able to pay attention to everyone, which could allow some of them to escape. They would then try to find other teams to join and pass on intelligence to have a possibility of surviving.
Otherwise, with two Blood Exchange realm beings jointly attacking and killing, the balance would be completely disrupted, and few teams could survive. If they didn’t react quickly, everyone there could end up dead!
Escape.
People would die immediately, but some might have a chance to live.
If they continued to resist stubbornly, it would be like boiling frogs in warm water. In at most a half Hour, everyone would perish here!
Unless within this half Hour, another team happened to pass by, noticed the fight here, and came to support, but the likelihood of such a situation was too low.
After all, Xunmu Cave Heaven was comparable in size to the State of Da Xuan, covering an area of nearly ten thousand miles. Although over a hundred Grandmasters had entered and were split into many teams, they counted for little in such an enormous area.
After a short moment of gritting teeth,
Long Shaochang finally made a decision, responding to Shen Borui with a glance.
Grandmasters from both Pure Sea Palace and Vast Ocean Pavilion reached an agreement. It was a matter of moments before their opinions converged, then Shen Borui and Long Shaochang took a deep breath each, their Yuan Gang transforming into surging Vast Ocean power.
“Boundless as the Sea and Sky!”
Whoosh!!
It was like a towering tsunami surged up, opening up a space of deep blue lofty skies and a silent vast ocean.
The azure Vast Ocean power momentarily stalled in a vortex shape, then exploded in all directions, instantly grinding nearly all the petals to dust, shattering the ten-odd winding wooden dragons in the process.
Ling Ji’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately retreated dozens of meters.
Ling Huan, however, did not retreat but raised the Xunmu Heart Branch in his hand to withstand the aftermath of the explosion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
As the aftermath spread and ‘Boundless as the Sea and Sky’ unfolded, over twenty figures instantly dashed out in all directions, each trying as hard as possible to scatter and flee desperately.
Ling Huan’s expression remained unchanged, as he had anticipated this situation, or rather, he was waiting for this moment. His figure flashed, and he immediately struck, killing a fleeing Grandmaster from the Pure Sea Palace on the spot amid the latter’s shocked gaze.
On the other side,
Ling Ji, the newly promoted ‘Spirit Ancestor,’ also had an extremely cold expression, striking fiercely and decisively, chasing after the fleeing Grandmasters.
