In the moment of exclamation, the large stone tablet suppressing the Sealing Core was already surrounded by dozens of Demon Spirit Beasts.
The Core Large Stone Tablet was twice the size of the surrounding Restraining Monument. Its surface was covered with numerous paper talismans, and at the top of the stone tablet was embedded a small, transparent bead that shimmered with silver light.
This small bead appeared unremarkable, but its power was immense. Whenever a Demon Spirit Beast approached the stone tablet, terrifying lightning flashed from the bead, effortlessly reducing the Demon Spirit Beast to ashes.
However, the number of Demon Spirit Beasts continued to increase. Many seemed to be summoned by the Core Hall and gradually lost interest in Ye Feng and others, rushing toward the large stone tablet one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bead emitted flashes of lightning, and faintly above it floated a small black Thundercloud Step, from which thick arcs of electricity shot out continuously, dazzling to behold.
The power of the bead was astonishing. If it were an ordinary cultivator or any beast with even a hint of intelligence, they would likely flee immediately. However, under the influence of the Demon Spirit, the Demon Spirit Beasts showed no fear of the bead's terrifying power. Often, just as one Demon Spirit Beast was struck down by an arc, another would immediately charge in, relying solely on their overwhelming numbers to exhaust the bead's energy.
"If this continues, the Thunder Pearl won't last much longer!" Lin Yue Zhen Ren said with a frown.
This bead was known as the Thunder Pearl and seemed to be a rare treasure for cultivation. However, as Lin Yue Zhen Ren pointed out, such consumption would eventually deplete even a powerful treasure.
Ye Feng replied solemnly, "Even fourth-tier Demon Spirit Beasts are instantly reduced to ashes by the Thunder Pearl. It seems that the thunder contained within it is a form of spiritual thunder with great power in the cultivation world. This kind of spiritual thunder requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy to condense and can only be unleashed by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. If this continues, it may affect the core formation."
"Leaf Young Friend is absolutely right. The Thunder Pearl is connected to the entire Sealing Stone Tablet. Although it contains some thunder-type spiritual energy, it has likely been exhausted by now. It is probably relying on drawing energy from the Great Seal Array to unleash its thunder attacks. If this goes on, before the Sealing Stone Tablet is destroyed, the Great Seal Array will also fail to hold up, allowing that Shura Demon King to break free."
The sudden changes in the Demon Spirit indicated that the Shura Demon King within the Great Seal Array had begun to subtly influence them, inciting them to launch fierce attacks on the Sealing Stone Tablet. No matter how strong the Great Seal Array was, it could not withstand attacks from both inside and outside; it was only a matter of time before the seal was broken.
Lin Yue Zhen Ren continued with concern, "Our sacrifice of Divine Soul will take a long time and must be performed around the Core Monolith. During this period, we absolutely cannot be disturbed; otherwise, the Divine Soul could easily self-destruct. Right now, these Demon Spirit Beasts will certainly not allow us close to the Core Monolith. What should we do?"
Ye Feng paused for a moment, lightly shaking the long sword in his hand, and said angrily, "Don't worry, seniors. Even if it means death, I will ensure you reach the Core Monolith!"
"Xiao Bing, Ning Ruoxue, let's form a triangular formation and clear the way for our seniors!"
Channeling all his Vital Energy to the limit, Ye Feng flicked the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand, unleashing countless beams of sword light that surged like a tide. He moved with the sword, transforming into a Soaring Dragon, leading the charge at the front of the group.
The Demon Spirits seemed to sense Ye Feng and his companions' intentions and began to dispatch numerous Demon Spirit Beasts to block their path, attempting to hinder their progress.
"Ice Spear!" Xiao Bing no longer held back her strength. With a graceful wave of her pale arm in the air, she conjured countless shards of icy Vital Energy from thin air. She molded them into a three-meter-long ice crystal spear.
"Sweep Across the World!"
The ice crystal spear appeared fragile but instantly radiated a chilling brilliance under the command of the Ice Phoenix Divine Beast. As it passed through, it created icy storms, directly cleaving through all Demon Spirit Beasts that tried to obstruct them. Those further away, even if they miraculously survived, were frozen into ice sculptures by the storm emanating from the spear.
Ning Ruoxue also did not hesitate to unleash her Fire Phoenix Bloodline. In an instant, she appeared like an otherworldly fairy in her flowing white attire, surrounded by blazing flames. The Seven-Colored Belt around her waist vibrated continuously, emitting sounds akin to phoenix cries.
As the belt dissipated, a slender soft sword was drawn with a clang. It resembled a stunning Colorful Cloud descending to the mortal realm. With a light yet powerful horizontal slash, dozens of rays of light burst forth from the sword's body, sweeping away the approaching Demon Spirit Beasts.
"Mid-Level Xuan Stage, Colorful Cloud Soft Sword!" Ye Feng exclaimed inwardly. This was his first time witnessing Ning Ruoxue use her sword technique in battle. He had never expected that what he thought was merely an accessory—the Seven-Colored Belt—was actually a hidden Xuan-level soft sword.
"Phoenix Illusion Sword Technique, Radiant Light!"
The low-grade Xuan Martial Technique was brought to its peak in Ning Ruoxue's hands. Her combat power surged dramatically as she harnessed the mysterious Supreme Technique Phoenix Calamity along with her flowing Fire Phoenix Bloodline. Despite only being at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm, Ning Ruoxue's true strength was now infinitely close to that of a Gangwu Realm expert.
In comparison to Xiao Bing and Ning Ruoxue, Ye Feng—who had always been the strongest among them—now found himself as the weakest of the three. This was not only due to his cultivation level but also because of the disparity in their Martial Techniques.
Using the Tide Sound Sword Technique with the Azure Dragon Sword, no matter how skilled one is, it is impossible to match a Mystic-Level Combat Technique.
"I thought there would be no rivals under the Gangwu Realm, but I didn't expect Ning Ruoxue to surpass me," Ye Feng said with a bitter smile. He focused his mind, forming a hand seal with his left hand and lightly brushing it over the Azure Dragon Sword in his right hand.
"Boom!"
The seemingly ordinary Azure Dragon Sword suddenly ignited with blazing flames, the temperature of the fire far exceeding that of Ning Ruoxue's Phoenix Fire.
High-Level Spirit Fire was infused into the Azure Dragon Sword by Ye Feng!
A Wolf-like Spirit Beast, seeing Ye Feng retract his sword move, seized the opportunity to pounce, baring its fangs and claws, filled with malice!
"Seeking death!" With a cold snort, Ye Feng flicked his wrist, drawing a fiery red Sword Light in front of him. The Wolf-like Spirit Beast was instantly sliced in half by this fiery red Sword Light, its surrounding Demonic Energy providing no defense whatsoever.
Lin Yue Zhen Ren, who happened to witness this scene, was left dumbfounded.
He had never imagined that such a small fireball technique could be utilized in this way with such excellent results. Originally, it would take three or four strikes to break through the protective Demonic Energy of a Third-Order Spirit Beast, yet it was almost instantaneously killed.
For Ye Feng, the effect of applying Spiritual Fire to the Azure Dragon Sword did not come as a surprise; after all, he had previously attempted to condense Spiritual Fire onto his fists.
However, the effect when applied to the Azure Dragon Sword was clearly much better. Ye Feng felt delighted and continued to charge forward with his sword!
With the full efforts of Xiao Bing and Ning Ruoxue, everyone's speed had significantly increased compared to before. However, the number of Demon Spirit Beasts coming to intercept them also began to rise. They were not just one or two formidable Fifth Stage Demon Spirit Beasts, forcing everyone to halt and fully exert themselves to deal with these high-level Demon Spirit Beasts first.
Every time a Demon Spirit Beast was slain, Ye Feng would immediately attack the escaping Demon Spirit. Unbeknownst to him, his burden had become much heavier.
Including Lin Yue Zhen Ren, the Disciples of the Celestial Gate were surrounded by three individuals. Occasionally, a stray Demon Spirit Beast would slip into their formation, only to be immediately slaughtered.
The triangular battle formation temporarily formed by Ye Feng and the others resembled a massive meat grinder, with waves of Demon Spirit Beasts meeting a gruesome fate within it.
As they drew closer to the Core Monolith, the Demon Spirit Beasts finally began to panic, turning around to attack Ye Feng and his companions.
In this situation, these Demon Spirit Beasts had to contend with both the attacks from the Thunder Pearl and the powerful combined strikes from Ye Feng and his group, resulting in heavy casualties.
"There's less than ten meters to go; everyone, push forward!" Ye Feng shouted, his spirit soaring.
A look of satisfaction flashed in Lin Yue Zhen Ren's eyes as he observed Ye Feng's performance, which pleased him greatly.
He silently glanced at the others behind him and said with a smile, "Well then, at this point, we need not worry too much. In three years' time, I wonder how much this little fellow will have grown. Perhaps when the seal loosens again after three years, this little one will be able to reseal Shura Demon King Lu Tong!"
For Lin Yue Zhen Ren and the others, what they truly feared was not the obliteration of their Divine Soul after the sacrifice but whether the three-year opportunity they had created with their last glimmer of hope would help save the Divine Martial Continent. Losing their lives in vain would leave them unwilling to accept their fate.
"Alright, we're almost at the stone tablet. Once you all enter the core seal, immediately begin setting up the Divine Soul sacrifice array. Leaf Young Friend, the Divine Soul sacrifice requires three hours. During this time, we must not allow anyone to disrupt our Ritual Array; otherwise, our Divine Soul will struggle to endure and self-destruct. At that point, not only will we fail to reseal Shura Demon King Lu Tong, but we will also jeopardize the entire core formation and allow Shura Demon King Lu Tong to escape early."
"I understand!" Ye Feng replied decisively. His sword danced like a flying fire dragon as he fought against dozens of Demon Spirit Beasts, fearless and determined to carve a bloody path forward.
After a fierce battle, Ye Feng and his companions finally approached the area enveloped by the Core Monolith. At that moment, Lin Yue Zhen Ren casually tossed a jade token toward the stone tablet.
The token circled above the tablet before shooting out a circular light curtain that enveloped everyone.
"With this Ascension Token, the stone tablet will not attack us. You can harness its power to jointly resist the invading Demon Spirit Beasts!" After saying this, Lin Yue Zhen Ren quickly rushed toward the area around the stone tablet along with other Disciples of the Celestial Gate.
Ye Feng looked up and saw all the Disciples of the Celestial Gate chanting incantations, their feet stepping in a mysterious pattern as they moved back and forth around the stone tablet.
Before long, the thirteen Disciples of the Celestial Gate stood still, stomped their feet, and let out a fierce roar!
“Divine Ritual of Xuanhuang, Soul Offering to the Primordial, Six Paths of Reincarnation, only I shall suffer!”
The continuously repeated incantations finally triggered a mysterious formation within the stone tablet. The large stone tablet's surface shone with waves of silver light, and the paper talismans on its surface instantly ignited into roaring flames.
From the Thunder Pearl atop the tablet, more than ten bolts of lightning suddenly surged forth, crashing down onto Lin Yue Zhen Ren and the others.
All the Disciples of the Celestial Gate did not perish under the thunderous strikes; instead, they suddenly became transparent. Purple lightning flickered among them, and humanoid Phantoms floated above their heads.
Once the humanoid Phantoms reached above the stone tablet, they turned around in unison, nodded at Ye Feng and the others, then raised their hands. While forming intricate hand seals, they continued to chant the incantation.
“Divine Ritual of Xuanhuang, Soul Offering to the Primordial, Six Paths of Reincarnation, only I shall suffer!”
