Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Before She Zhelin could even react, the four-colored talisman in Cangsong Daoist's hand burst into flames.

A beam of four-colored spiritual light shot out from it, instantly traversing a distance of a thousand feet, passing through the five elements phenomenon, and merging into the array.

At the same time, Chen Yuan shouted sharply, "Go all out to break the formation!"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had already stopped immediately unleashed their magic weapons and supernatural powers, launching an even more ferocious attack than before.

After the four-colored spiritual light merged into the array, it spread outwards.

The entire Five Elements Formation was covered with a faint layer of four-colored spiritual light, and its energy suddenly declined.

The array flags supporting the great formation trembled slightly, revealing a sense of dejection.

The five elemental phenomena generated by the great formation were also weakened considerably. Originally, they were able to firmly block the fierce attacks of the human race's Nascent Soul cultivators, but now they showed signs of being unable to withstand them.

Several supernatural powers pierced through the Five Elements Phenomenon and struck the array barrier, leaving several hair-thin cracks.

Although these cracks were extremely small and were repaired in the next moment by the dense spiritual energy surging from the giant spiritual vein, they could not escape the divine senses of the cultivators and demon generals present.

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole; if this continues, the time it takes for the great formation to be broken will be greatly shortened.

She Zhelin's expression changed slightly, and the array plate in his left hand was also covered with a layer of mist, as if shrouded in a fog.

This was a sign that the formation was being obstructed. He dared not be negligent and took out an object with his right hand, throwing it at the formation plate.

This is a blood-red round bead, about the size of a longan, suspended above the array plate, emitting a burst of blood-red light that enveloped the array plate.

She Zhelin pointed again, and the array plate shone brightly, while the array flags buried in the mountains hummed continuously.

From this moment on, the Five Elements Universe Array was completely under his control.

The spiritual energy within the great formation suddenly became violent, the dormant giant spiritual vein was completely awakened, and streams of spiritual energy rose from the earth and mountains.

The Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent and the demon hybrid, who remained in their cave to cultivate, suddenly discovered that they could no longer sense any spiritual energy.

The once-depressed sea of ​​fire rose again with a magnificent roar, and meteorites as large as houses appeared in the sky, whistling as they fell. Deep blue waves surged up, seemingly poised to engulf the heavens and the earth.

The weakened Five Elements Phenomenon rallied again, becoming even more ferocious than before, and once again blocked the human Nascent Soul cultivator's attack.

But She Zhelin showed no joy on his face; instead, his heart sank.

He had unleashed the full power of the Five Elements Universe Array, drawing upon all the spiritual energy contained within the giant spiritual vein and pouring it into the array.

After this battle, countless array flags will need to be replaced, and even the array plate in his hand will need to be reforged.

With such recklessness, the power of the grand formation should have been 20% stronger than it is now, instead of only showing this level of performance.

But before She Zhelin could use any other methods, Lu Wangquan took out the pale blue phoenix feather, reluctantly threw it out, and pointed at it: "Condense!"

The pale blue feathers trembled slightly, gradually disintegrating from bottom to top, turning into countless blue light spots, which were carried by the wind and flew away, condensing into a huge wind phoenix with a body length of a hundred feet.

The phoenix raised its long neck, let out a sharp cry, and then suddenly flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind as it rushed towards the Five Elements Formation like a moth to a flame!

She Zhelin's expression changed drastically. He pointed at the array plate, and the array screen covered with four-colored spiritual light suddenly turned green.

The green vines and leaves spread wildly, forming a thick green barrier that covered the entire array.

The five elements' strange phenomena tried their best to block it, and the tree-man, which evolved from the wood element's spiritual energy, rushed forward without hesitation. The giant waves of the river condensed into dozens of layers of blue water curtains, and the sea of ​​fire, aided by the wind, became even more intense.

However, under the fierce winds that were powerful enough to annihilate everything, the Five Elements Phenomenon only blocked the Wind Phoenix for a moment before being swept away completely.

The enormous body of the phoenix dimmed slightly, scattering a few feathers that dissipated into pale blue light spots, leaving a long, radiant tassel behind it.

The green barrier was torn apart by the gale, but endless green leaves and vines regenerated, creating a stalemate.

With a long cry, the phoenix crashed heavily into the array barrier amidst the fierce winds.

Its enormous body completely disintegrated, transforming into a cyan storm powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, tearing the green barrier to shreds.

The raging gale constantly battered the array barrier, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear.

The human Nascent Soul cultivator was overjoyed and his attacks became even more ferocious.

The demon generals looked terrified and instinctively retreated.

This was a clash between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a demon general, as well as a clash between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a giant spiritual vein. The heavens and earth trembled, and they appeared so insignificant.

The spiritual energy of the giant spiritual vein flows in continuously, and the cracks that appear are repaired completely as soon as they appear.

The gale continued to batter the array, but it was rapidly thinning, lasting for only a few breaths at most.

But before the gale had completely dissipated, Qin Wuyai flipped his hand and took out a dark, heavy throwing knife, only three inches long, and it was broken in half.

But this seemingly ordinary broken blade was shrouded in wisps of dark demonic energy, exuding an eerie and sinister aura.

The sky suddenly darkened after it appeared, as if covered with a layer of gray, giving people a sense of oppression.

This is a flawed magical artifact, yet it can cause celestial phenomena to change. When it is complete, it will certainly be no less powerful than a spiritual treasure.

Qin Wuyai raised his hand and threw the broken blade in his hand, which turned into a dim gray stream of light, passing through the blazing sea of ​​fire and dozens of layers of azure water curtain, without losing any speed.

As it flew, the broken blade gradually shattered, becoming shorter and shorter.

The fragments turned into wisps of black smoke, rising gently and dissipating into the air.

When the broken blade arrived before the great formation, only a short, inch-long piece remained, piercing the formation's barrier.

The last broken blade shattered, and demonic energy filled the sky. The array barrier also broke, revealing a gap several tens of feet in size.

The human Nascent Soul cultivators were overjoyed, while the demon generals were terrified.

The Five Elements Universe Formation is their greatest asset. If it is broken, the entire Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan will likely face certain doom.

She Zhelin's face darkened, but he showed no sign of panic.

His blood-red eyes shone brightly, and suddenly he raised his hand and slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, which fell onto the blood-red orb above the array plate.

The crimson orb devoured all the essence blood, its color growing even more vibrant. It then cast a burst of crimson light, merging into the array plate.

The array plate trembled incessantly, and a series of loud booms rang out. The demon generals hurriedly looked down and saw that the array flags had exploded and turned into streaks of spiritual light, flying into the depths of the Red Ridge Mountains, into the deep valley where She Zhelin lived.

The next moment, a faint, long roar, like the roar of a dragon, came from the bottom of the deep valley.

The spiritual energy emanating from the depths of the earth suddenly became more than twice as dense, resembling a vast cloud that enveloped the entire Red Ridge Mountain Range.

The palaces and pavilions in the mountains appeared and disappeared in the spiritual mist, just like palaces in the heavens. The misty spiritual energy quickly merged into the array, and before the human cultivators could rush into the array, the gap that was tens of feet in size was quickly repaired.

All the demon generals breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if they had escaped death.

The human Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat disappointed. Some impatient cultivators had already risked rushing into the Five Elements Phenomenon, but as the great formation was repaired and the Five Elements Phenomenon reappeared, they were forced to retreat.

However, after being attacked by three Nascent Soul cultivators in succession, including a blow from a remnant of a demonic spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Universe Array could not be fully restored.

The once thick array barrier has become much thinner, with cracks appearing that can only be repaired slowly.

Nearly half of the array flags exploded and scattered. The giant spiritual vein that served as the foundation of the array also lost too much spiritual energy due to She Zhelin's relentless extraction, and even its origin was overdrawn.

The misty mountain air only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing, leaving only a layer of transparent white gauze.

Over the next hundred years, the spiritual energy in the Crimson Ridge Mountains will become much thinner, which will significantly affect the cultivation of the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan.

But She Zhelin had no time to worry about these things at the moment, and unlike the other demon generals, he was not at ease.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators have already displayed their supernatural abilities, but the arrogant Starfire True Man has not yet made a move.

Chen Yuan didn't keep She Zhelin waiting for long. The moment the gap disappeared, a pair of wide black wings suddenly unfolded behind him, and his aura suddenly became profound and magnificent.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and formed a hand seal. A Dharma image condensed behind him, about ten feet in size. Its slender body resembled both a bird and a fish, with a roc's head and black wings. It looked up at the sky and let out a long cry, like a whale song, desolate and distant, piercing through countless ages and resounding in everyone's ears.

She Zhelin's eyes widened: "Kun fish? No, Kunpeng!"

Chen Yuan remained indifferent, flipping his hand to take out a black longsword. A deep, thick, dark light appeared on his right hand, as if it were devouring everything around him, and even light could not escape it.

The dark light spread out, covering the black longsword, or perhaps swallowing it.

With a flap of his wings, his figure vanished from the spot, and together with the Kunpeng Dharma Image, he teleported to the front of the array, raised the black longsword in his hand, and slashed down heavily!
At this moment, the four-colored spiritual light covering the array had become extremely dim, the violent pale blue gale had almost completely dissipated, the evil and sinister demonic energy was about to melt into the endless spiritual mist, and the human race's nascent soul's supernatural powers and magical treasures were almost entirely blocked by the five elements phenomenon.

However, they have not completely disappeared, and the Five Elements Universe Array has been weakened by almost 60% under the successive attacks. It has never been so weak since it was set up.

The tiny black longsword struck the massive array that covered the Hundred Mile Mountain Range, like a speck of dust falling onto the pristine white snow.

But where the sword fell, a deep black sword light flashed by, and violent spatial fluctuations spread out, splitting the array in two.

Continuous explosions emanated from all parts of the Red Ridge Mountains. The remaining half of the array flags exploded simultaneously, causing the earth to shake, rocks to fall, palaces to collapse, and the entire mountain range to tremble.

After the black sword light cleaved through the array, it did not stop, embedding itself deeply into the earth, leaving a crack only a few feet wide and a thousand feet long, which went deep into the ground.

A dull cracking sound came from the depths of the earth, and the spiritual mist, which had been reduced to a thin veil, became thick again.

Deep beneath the Red Ridge Mountains lies a gigantic spiritual vein, already one of the places with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Myriad Demon Continent, and now it is becoming even more concentrated at an astonishing rate.

However, this is not a good thing. All this spiritual energy is stored in the spiritual veins. Even if a spirit-gathering array is set up, it will only be slowly drawn out to supply the Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent clan with cultivation, without damaging the origin of the spiritual veins.

The sudden increase in spiritual energy several times over can only be explained by one thing: the source of the spiritual vein has been damaged, causing a large amount of stored spiritual energy to dissipate.

Several days later, once this spiritual energy merges into the world, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Crimson Ridge Mountains will rapidly decline, becoming even less than that of a large spiritual vein, and it will take at least a thousand years to recover to its original state.

The sword strike Chen Yuan unleashed was a sword of space, and also a sword of destruction.

It not only shattered the array barrier but also severely damaged the massive, semi-real spiritual vein underground.

Qin Wuyai and the other two all showed surprise. She Zhelin's face was ashen, and the demon general of the Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent Clan was dizzy and blank-minded.

After cleaving through the array and severely damaging the spiritual veins, the sword exhausted its power and failed to harm them.

But this was even more despairing than killing them. Chen Yuan had destroyed the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan's greatest reliance and also their very foundation.

The dark light on Chen Yuan's right hand faded, and the black longsword in his hand shattered inch by inch, turning into ashes.

The two top-tier divine weapons he obtained from the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons were now completely destroyed.

Chen Yuan coldly declared, "Sweep this place in blood, leave no one alive!"

The chilling voice echoed throughout the entire Crimson Ridge Mountains. The human Nascent Soul cultivator awoke from his shock, laughing as he charged toward the demon general, his laughter filled with both elation and sorrow.

They were overjoyed at being able to slay the demon generals to their heart's content, yet deeply saddened by the loss of their comrades who had died at the hands of the demon race.

The five elemental phenomena vanished the moment the great formation broke, allowing the human Nascent Soul cultivators to enter the mountain range unimpeded.

The demon generals were thrown into chaos. Some gritted their teeth and fought back, some turned and fled for their lives, and some stood there stunned, their minds collapsing and completely panicking.

Some of the demon generals panicked and asked loudly, "Clan leader, what should we do now?"

The blood-eyed spirit snake and the mixed-blood demon race, who had survived the landslide and earthquake, hurriedly fled into the distance.

Anyone could see that with the collapse of the Five Elements and the Universe, the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan was doomed.

Qin Wuyai and the other two unleashed their magical weapons and attacked She Zhelin.

She Zhelin gritted his teeth, ignoring the collapsing demon general beside him, and took out a talisman, unleashing a surge of demonic power.

If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

Although the Five Elements Universe Formation was broken and the origin of the giant spiritual vein was damaged, it is still the true foundation of the Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent Clan.

For the sake of the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan, and even more so for the sake of the Demon Clan, he cannot die here. He must save his life and spread the conspiracy of the human cultivators.

The talisman ignited, emitting a strange spatial fluctuation.

Daoist Cangsong said urgently, "Fellow Daoist Chen, act quickly! Don't let him escape!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to form a hand seal, and the Kunpeng Dharma Image behind him let out a long, desolate cry. An extremely powerful sealing force spread out, locking this world.

The talisman burned to ashes, and She Zhelin's figure disappeared from the spot.

Qin Wuyai and the other two changed their expressions, but the next moment, they all turned their heads and looked into the distance.

There were no obstructions at high altitudes, and the line of sight stretched extremely far.

A hundred miles away, She Zhelin's figure suddenly appeared, staggered two steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When he regained his footing and realized that he had only escaped a hundred miles away, his face immediately turned ugly.

The Taoist Cangsong let out a long laugh and flew over.

Chen Yuan and his two companions followed closely behind, four streaks of light tearing through the sky as they headed straight for She Zhelin. (End of Chapter)
