Lin Meng and Nie Ruo were fighting outside the city center. When these two joined hands, Shi Yan’s team had their pressure doubled.
Fortunately, they had tired out Lin Meng’s power a lot. At this moment, she was like a dying lamp, and the connection between her and the cauldron was cut off.
Nie Ruo wasn’t in his peak state either. The price to break the challenge in his heart was much more than what Lin Meng had paid. At this moment, he had to depend on the energy returned to him from the Ghostly Spirit Sword, which wasn’t enough to scare Shi Yan’s team.
Cao Qiu Dao and the others had come out from the city to join the force to deal with Nie Ruo and Lin Meng.
Shi Yan’s negative energy emitted terrifyingly. He now had a clear cognition of every change of energy in the surroundings, as if he had many invisible eyes. He could see every beam of energy, which could help him grab even the tiny weaknesses of Lin Meng and Nie Ruo.
The Star Execution was activated. Starlight twirled around him gloriously like the Milky Way. Using his soul to control it, Shi Yan manipulated the starlight streams to coil around Lin Meng and Nie Ruo.
Negative energy fiercely poured into the Death and Life Seal, carrying the Intent Domain of Death and Life. It turned into many heavy mountains, dashing towards the other two.
At the same time, he had accumulated his energy to create the Gravitational Field. As long as it was the energy he could use, he didn’t hesitate to urge it at all.
Shi Yan had a sturdy build, and many different evil changing energies. Moreover, he wasn’t afraid of death. In the battle with Lin Meng and Nie Ruo, he wouldn’t fall to the weak side.
However, his side still had Yang Tian Emperor, Li Zheng Rong, Di Shan, Bing Qing Tong, and Han Cui. They were using many types of energy and secret treasures, circling the area. Moreover, this place had many barriers, restrictions, and formations, that weakened them.
Shi Yan had soon entered the Third Sky of Rampage Realm.
Although his soul was clear and calm, his face was ferocious, with two bloodshot eyes. Each flow of his negative energy was like a beam of light, releasing the pressure to the environment.
"Seven Stars Brilliant World!"
Shi Yan shouted. The light twirling around his body suddenly gathered into seven fist-sized stars. Each star looked like a big, dazzling diamond.
Moving in the trajectory of the Big Dipper, the seven stars rotated, crossing through the chaotic energy field outside the city center. It seemed they had pulled the power of the stars in the sky to use. The everlasting star intent domain emitted from each star.
The seven stars had formed a magical formation which could connect and use the power of the galaxy. In a fraction of a second, star power from the starry sky descended.
"GO!"
Shi Yan pointed to the ground and shouted.
A beast made of top-grade Essence Crystals soared up from underground. This crystal beast was created following the Ghost Hunter's true form. Scales covered its entire body, with many strange, sharp thorns. It looked brutal and giant.
As soon as this crystal beast emerged, it shot towards Lin Meng and Nie Ruo. Lin Meng didn’t react timely, and the beast blew her away for a hundred meters. He petite body rolled on the ground, and blood quickly covered her.
The thirty-six ghostly spirits flew out from Nie Ruo’s hands like thirty-six gray chains attached to his body. Their aura was so frightening that it shook people’s hearts and souls.
These thirty-six ghostly spirits were condensed in the Exterminating caves for several thousand years to gain intellect. They were the most unpredictable and evilest powerful creatures in this world.
Ghostly spirits shrieked, flying around Shi Yan’s team. They seemed to want to feast on their flesh bodies.
"Six Sacred Armors!"
Li Zheng Rong shouted all of a sudden. A Storage Ring flew out from his finger. Six beast puppets appeared, protecting him from six different sides.
These six puppets were forged from many types of rigid metals. Although they weren’t as intimidating as the War Devil, their aura was strong and frightening.
When these puppets appeared, they were ready to die for their master. The fire of Karma burned furiously from them as they shielded Li Zheng Rong. These flames were the human flame that Li Zheng Rong was innately gifted with. He had added the earth flame into these flames too. Although it wasn’t as magical as the heaven flame, its energy wasn’t too weak.
Li Zheng Rong was an alchemist. All outstanding alchemists had the human flame, which was fundamental to their career.
Six beast puppets shielded Li Zheng Rong, preventing the ghostly spirits from attacking him. Afterward, Li Zheng Rong sent his order to them, asking them to attack Nie Ruo.
Shi Yan seized the chance. His seven stars sparkled, surrounding Nie Ruo together with the six puppets.
Shi Yan could see that Nie Ruo’s state wasn’t as strong as Lin Meng. Compared to killing Lin Meng, killing Nie Ruo was a better choice.
Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, Bing Qing Tong, and Han Cui cooperated tactfully. They used many secret treasures and energies to attack Nie Ruo together.
Nie Ruo was dependent on the Ghostly Spirit Sword to maintain his energy. Shortly, he had to bear all the pressure for Lin Meng. Under the attack wave, he didn’t dare to attack anymore, just wanting to pull the ghostly spirits back to him. He used the Ghostly Spirit Sword to defend the attack.
Ghostly Spirit Sword was a divine weapon. It could attack and defend well. When it attacked, it was as sharp as a spear. And when it defended, it was tougher than a steel wall. Thirty-six Exterminating caves were the most mysterious area of the Devil Valley. They contained the evil energy of heaven and earth. Nie Ruo was using the thirty-six ghostly spirits to model the thirty-six Exterminating caves. It wasn’t just for fun.
When the attacks fell into the thirty-six caves, they would move through all the caves. After traveling through each cave, their energy would reduce.
Moving through the caves for a while, the attack energy was drained.
Nie Ruo hid in the thirty-six Exterminating caves, and they couldn’t see him anymore.
However, Shi Yan could use the formation of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City to locate Nie Ruo precisely. He knew that Nie Ruo was constantly changing his position. He never stopped at a cave for more than a minute.
It was a divine weapon indeed. Nie Ruo had his mind interlinked with the Ghostly Spirit Sword, and he had nurtured it with his own blood and flesh. At this critical moment, even if he were a dying flame, it was still hard enough to kill him.
Suddenly, Shi Yan’s team didn’t know where they should attack him.
From the other side, the crystal beast was still bombarding Lin Meng. That beast had a flow of Shi Yan’s soul, so it could control the barriers and formations of this Utmost Eight Purgatories City. While fighting with Lin Meng, it often used the power of the barriers exquisitely. As Lin Meng had to struggle to resist the crystal beast, she couldn’t create any threat to Shi Yan.
Divine weapon...
Shi Yan frowned, looking at the miracle of the Devil Valley. He found that he couldn’t attack the thirty-six Exterminating caves or force Nie Ruo to show himself.
At this moment, Qin Gu Chuan, Guan Hu, and Lu Miao had reached the critical time. They could break the mental challenge to get out at any minute.
If they couldn’t knock Nie Ruo and Lin Meng down shortly, once Qin Gu Chuan, Guan Hu, and Lu Miao got here, Shi Yan’s team couldn’t resist this force.
They didn’t have much time.
Staying quiet for three seconds, Shi Yan gazed at the Blood Vein Ring, the ring that had brought him so many miracles at the most critical times. He got this precious treasure right when he had just entered the Grace Mainland, a spiritual treasure that he couldn’t understand.
"Help me break the Exterminating caves!" Shi Yan sent his thought to the Blood Vein Ring, then flung it towards the thirty-six Exterminating caves created by Nie Ruo.
He didn’t consider much, since he knew the Blood Vein Ring contained a mysterious soul. It was the Ring Spirit, which had a life, and was actually a high-grade life. Although Shi Yan had never talked to that living being, he knew it existed. Moreover, it was super strong.
The Blood Vein Ring turned into a blood light falling into the Exterminating caves under Shi Yan’s pushing power.
In short, although he was the master of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City, he couldn’t locate the Blood Vein Ring.
However, Shi Yan still sensed Nie Ruo’s location. He knew that Nie Ruo changed his location continually, as if he was trying to avoid something. Shi Yan could even feel that Nie Ruo had seen something really terrible.
"Ah!"
Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, and Li Zheng Rong cried in astonishment.
Under their gaze, two of the thirty-six caves disappeared into thin air.
Shi Yan gawked. Divine light shot out from his eyes, gazing at the Exterminating caves.
The Exterminating caves in this place weren’t the real ones. They were created by the energy of the ghostly spirits. A cave disappearing meant one ghostly spirit had vanished.
That’s why Nie Ruo was frightened. He found that his ghostly spirits had perished.
Under their attentive looks, the thirty-six Exterminating caves disappeared one after another. After ten seconds, around ten caves had disappeared. What did that mean? That means something could kill or... swallow one ghostly spirit in each second!
Everybody suddenly recalled that Shi Yan had flung a ring into these caves.
The Ghostly Spirit Sword was a famous divine weapon in the Divine Great Land. Nie Ruo had used this sword to become the master of the Devil Valley that year. After he had fused with the Ghostly Spirit Sword, he could swagger in the area, and had almost no rival.
What grade that ring was at? How could it make the ghostly spirits disappear in each second?
Everybody was bewildered as they looked at Shi Yan instinctively. Suddenly, they felt this young man was too mysterious.
Eventually, Shi Yan could connect with the Blood Vein Ring again. He laughed because he knew Nie Ruo was done. That man had no support now.
