Chapter 191: Heavenly Demon Strikes, Three Immortal Ranking Geniuses
"Since we're to assist the people of the Eternal Life Sect, let me and Zhong Jun take action. We'll settle this quickly with a thunderous approach!" Xuan Chi glanced at Zhong Jun and resolutely stood up to volunteer.
"Great! Let me join Xuan Chi in this." Zhong Jun nodded.
"No need, you all keep watch on the surroundings. Let me break through; these Demonic Bats will be of some use to me!"
As Yang Ji spoke, the World Force surged wildly from his hands, transforming into sharp dragon claws.
A streak of golden light flashed across the sky, and in a blink, he had charged into the army of Demonic Bats.
Immediately, hundreds of Demonic Bats were strangled by Yang Ji's dragon claws, brutally crushed, and all turned into the Origin of Demonic Qi, which he absorbed into the Mount Sea World.
In the midst of the dark cloud, tens of thousands of Demonic Bats had arranged the Fierce Evil Formation, fiercely assaulting the members of the Eternal Life Sect.
"Hold on, don't panic. Our friends from the Wuji Dao Sect have already agreed to help us!"
Among the ten talents of the Eternal Life Sect, a powerful figure always sat cross-legged in the void—an exceptionally handsome young man with a steadfast, immovable air between his brows.
A radiant glow burst forth above his head.
It formed a earthy-yellow shield, solid as a wall of bronze and iron, protecting everyone within and shielding them from the harm of the Demonic Bats.
Thuwp!
But there were too many Demonic Bats, some of them formidable foes.
With each attack, the young man's complexion grew paler, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, showing he was forcefully enduring.
The aura he radiated was extremely strong; his strength could be compared to an Immortal Ranking Genius, clearly a leader among his peers.
"Oh no, among the Demonic Bats, several fierce figures that were originally raiding the formation struck, unleashing the Unlimited Dark Light. I had not imagined it could be this terrifying."
The young leader suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the protective shield shook as if on the verge of collapse, and the pressure spiked in an instant.
"Damn it! Attack them, relieve some of the pressure on Mentor Brother!" Within the shield, the protected disciples unleashed their Great Divine Powers, attacking the three Demonic Bat leaders with strength nearing the peak of the Divine Transforming Early Stage.
The Demonic Bats, as the Demonic Beasts under the Heavenly Demon, possessed vast Divine Skills, blessed by the Demon Ancestor, with an innate Divine Power embedded in the soul imprints.
With a flap of their wings, the Unlimited Dark Light cascaded like a waterfall, furiously pouring down.
All the attacks from the Divine Skills were instantly obliterated.
Their counterattacks were even more ferocious, the wings of the three Demonic Bats joined together, merging into an even larger bat with swirling black flames enveloping its body.
This Cultivation Technique was eerily similar to the Heavenly Demon's fusion technique.
The enormous Demonic Bat spat black flames from its mouth, which actually pierced right through the energy shield maintained by the Eternal Life Sect's leader, landing on the disciples within.
In an instant, the disciples clutched their heads, their screams of agony echoing one after another.
Strangely, the black flames did not scorch their clothes or flesh, but they brought excruciating pain.
"It's bad, it's a Primordial Spirit Attack!" exclaimed one disciple, his complexion turning pale.
"Ah, Mentor Brother, be careful! The black flames of this Demonic Bat can burn the Primordial Spirit," another disciple screamed in agony.
"Everyone, steady your spirits!" declared one disciple with a shout.
"This is bad! Never would I have imagined these three Demonic Bats could be so fierce. Now that we have requested the assistance of Wuji Dao Sect's friends, I fear it might bring them harm as well," the young leader said with a worried expression.
"Mentor Brother, you're powerful enough to break out on your own. There's no need to continue to deplete your vital energy for us. You can't protect all of us by yourself. If this goes on, your internal Dao Qi will run out, and not only will we die, but even you will have trouble escaping," a disciple urged anxiously.
"No way! When we entered, we agreed to face all dangers together; how could I abandon you now and leave alone?" The young leader shook his head and clenched his teeth, striving to maintain the shield.
The next moment, a ball of black flame landed on his head.
Instantly, his body began to tremble.
Although he didn't cry out in pain like the other disciples, his expression turned extremely painful, and even the shield flickered, as if it might vanish at any moment.
Clearly, he was enduring immense pain.
But even at this moment, he was still trying to maintain the shield, protecting everyone.
"This leader of the Eternal Life Sect's disciples is indeed quite a character!" Zhan Xiao observed all this from a distance and spoke out.
"Indeed! Judging by the strong aura he's emitting, he must be someone from the Immortal Ranking," Xuan Chi said indifferently.
"These three Demonic Bats are truly powerful; possessing a Divine Skill that attacks the Primordial Spirit. If I encountered them, I would have to retreat!" Zhong Jun said with a grave expression.
"It looks like these ten disciples from the Eternal Life Sect are about to lose," Chu Gang commented with narrowed eyes.
"Mentor Brother, please go. We can't hold on much longer. This black flame is too fierce. There's no need to sacrifice yourself in vain for us," said one of the Eternal Life Sect's disciples urgently.
"Shatter for me!"
Suddenly, amidst countless Demonic Bats, a long and shrill voice shook the heavens, dreadful to hear. The enormous Demonic Bat, while spewing thick black flames, also stretched out a huge foot, which transformed in midair, growing as massive as a mountain and then stomping down fiercely toward the energy shield.
It was a foot that could tear apart heaven and earth.
The Demonic Qi roiled.
Bang!
The foot, like a falling star, smashed down hard onto the shield, immediately shattering it into a rain of energy light, scattering away.
With the shield broken, the young leader suffered a backlash, turning pale instantly.
He spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, releasing a primal roar of pain akin to a wounded beast.
He collapsed in the void, his internal energy thrown into chaos.
"Mentor Brother Meng!"
"Mentor Brother Meng, what's wrong?"
