This ending was already the best outcome that Xunuo could foresee. With a pale face, Xunuo let his hands drop and said without looking back, "Please, Fang Tooth Friend, absorb the remaining magic."
Fang Tooth and the others had long exhausted their magic by assisting Xunuo in casting spells. This method drained magic excessively; it was not as effective as transferring magic directly from the owner of the magical artifact to the artifact itself. The transfer of magic between two artifacts was far less precise than when controlled by the owner. More magic dissipated and was wasted than was utilized. Therefore, upon receiving Xunuo's signal, Fang Tooth and the others immediately absorbed their remaining magic.
The Zhenjiang Seal lost its magical support and instantly shrank into a small blue stone seal. Thunderstorm, who had been standing beside Xunuo, reached out with one hand to retrieve both the Zhenjiang Seal and the Heavenly Shadow Spike, handing them to Xunuo.
Although Xunuo could not use magic at that moment, his Mind Power was more than sufficient for collecting items. After putting away the magical artifacts, Xunuo turned to Mei Sanli and said, "I have no strength left; I will rely on all of you from here on."
Mei Sanli nodded solemnly and produced a small jade vial from his sleeve, tossing it to Xunuo. "This pill may help Xue Dao You heal." He then pointed at the Golden Spear above him and shouted, "Slash!" In an instant, the Golden Spear flashed with golden light, shooting out of the formation toward the seemingly dying Black Bear Soul Beast.
At that moment, the Black Bear Soul Beast was enveloped in a thick layer of Yin Malevolence. It seemed to be channeling this energy to heal itself. The beast's aura rapidly began to manifest again. Just moments ago, after being struck head-on by the Ox-Headed Beast, the Black Bear Soul Beast had nearly lost all vitality and emitted no trace of energy. Yet now, under the dense aura of Yin Sha, it was astonishingly recovering its vitality.
Mei Sanli would not give it a chance to recover. As soon as the Golden Spear flew out of the formation, he thrust both hands toward it. Mei Sanli's complexion flushed as the Golden Spear suddenly leaped and transformed into a massive beast covered in sharp bone spikes. Without pausing for a moment after its appearance, this beast lunged at the Black Bear Soul Beast.
Several sharp bone spikes pierced into the Black Bear Soul Beast's body, striking it just as it had begun to regain some breath.
The Black Bear Soul Beast swiped at this Spiked Behemoth with one paw; although it sent the creature flying, its recently recovered limb was punctured by several spikes from the Spiked Behemoth.
Before the Black Bear Soul Beast could react further, a massive yellow hammer came crashing down upon it. There was no time for respite as it raised its front limb to strike at the yellow hammer. This hammer was none other than Thunderstorm's Azure Void Earth Hammer. The Black Bear Soul Beast's strike against the Azure Void Earth Hammer failed to send it flying; instead, it merely held it above its head without allowing it to fall. This was already pushing the Black Bear Soul Beast to its limits.
However, in the next moment, several magical artifacts suddenly appeared beside the Black Bear Soul Beast and began slashing at it furiously. The beast's eyes filled with desperation as its body trembled and its fur bristled. In an instant, multiple artifacts struck its form; although this attack dimmed its aura even further, none of these artifacts managed to break through the Black Bear Soul Beast's defenses.
Seeing that these artifacts could not inflict substantial harm on itself only bolstered the Black Bear Soul Beast's confidence. Despite being as heavy as a mountain, the Azure Void Earth Hammer did not intimidate it. What truly concerned it were Xunuo's Heavenly Shadow Spike and Mei Sanli's Golden Spear.
Xunuo was currently unable to summon the Heavenly Shadow Spike, and the beast could naturally sense this. Although the Golden Spear could inflict heavy damage, it was also the reason for the Black Bear Soul Beast's significant depletion of mana. As long as it could recover a bit of mana, breaking through these methods would still be quite feasible for the Black Bear Soul Beast.
Without waiting for Mei Sanli to take action, the Black Bear Soul Beast let out a furious roar at the agitated Yin Soul Beasts surrounding it. This group of several hundred Yin Soul Beasts went into a frenzy as soon as Xunuo summoned the Heavenly Shadow Spike. They seemed to instinctively fear the Ox-Head Behemoth formed from the Heavenly Shadow Spike.
Moreover, these Yin Soul Beasts, which were equivalent to humans at the Basic Skill Method's peak, were significantly lacking in intelligence compared to the four high-level Yin Soul Beasts. Their understanding and perception of this space were inferior even to that of Xunuo, who was a novice. At least Xunuo realized upon entering this space that breaking through was beyond his capabilities. In contrast, these Yin Soul Beasts did not consider this; driven by fear, they desperately charged against the barriers of this space, as if they were certain they could break through and escape. The result was a chaotic scene where many suffered severe injuries and losses, with over twenty percent of their numbers reduced without reason.
The Black Bear Soul Beast's roar had some effect. As if commanded by it, nearly a hundred Yin Soul Beasts surged forward toward the formation.
The Black Bear Soul Beast raised its Azure Void Earth Hammer and slowly stood upright. Its aura rapidly began to recover, and its completely shattered forelimb gradually regenerated from its shoulder.
At that moment, a bright red collar suddenly appeared around the Black Bear Soul Beast's neck. The emergence of this collar went unnoticed by the surrounding cultivators. However, as soon as it tightened around the Black Bear Soul Beast's neck, an expression of sheer horror crossed its face.
The Black Bear Soul Beast tossed aside the Azure Void Earth Hammer and let out a hoarse roar but stood frozen in place, not even attempting to remove it.
Suddenly, the Red Collar constricted tightly around its neck. Instantly, black smoke erupted from the Black Bear Soul Beast's neck, accompanied by a foul smell reminiscent of burning leather. At that moment, the Black Bear Soul Beast could no longer afford to be afraid; both of its massive claws grasped at the Red Collar in an attempt to tear it off.
However, as soon as its claws made contact with the Red Collar, there was a crackling sound followed by a plume of black smoke. In an instant, the Black Bear Soul Beast was enveloped in thick black smoke. Moments later, its enormous head rolled away while its headless body collapsed heavily to one side.
Seeing this, Mei Sanli naturally would not let this opportunity slip away. The Golden Spear transformed into a Spiked Behemoth and rushed in instantly, its feet stomping down on the Black Bear Soul Beast's body while its two clawed hands with protruding bone spikes quickly dismembered it. The Azure Void Earth Hammer then rolled over and smashed apart the Black Bear Soul Beast's head.
At that moment, Ku Zulan reached out to retrieve the Red Collar. Mei Sanli glanced at it in surprise and exclaimed, "Sun True Fire Ring?"
Ku Zulan shook his head. "It must have been forged from Extraordinary Fire; it is definitely not True Sunfire. Otherwise, I would have summoned it earlier and eliminated these beasts all at once."
Mei Sanli took a look and said, "Indeed, there is a trace of True Sunfire's power, but it is too weak." He then shifted his gaze and shouted, "Kill!" pointing the Golden Spear outward to slash at the array.
At this moment, the group of Yin Soul Beasts had already charged outside the array. Currently, only two layers of defensive formations remained around Mei Sanli and the others. The innermost was the Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation. However, the most lethal aspect of the Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation was to trap and kill enemies; using it for defense was less effective than a Defensive Array.
Therefore, it was absolutely crucial not to let these Yin Soul Beasts break through the last remaining Defensive Array. The safest method was to drive the Yin Soul Beasts away from the Defensive Array and eliminate them. At the same time, Mei Sanli believed that without the four high-level Yin Soul Beasts, they would have a chance to slay these creatures and regain some Vitality. The other cultivators understood this logic as well and naturally unleashed their full strength against the Yin Soul Beasts.
Xunuo had completely entered a healing state. In the jade bottle given to him by Mei Sanli was a pill. Mei Sanli did not introduce this pill to Xunuo due to his understanding of Xunuo's identity. He knew that Xunuo was an Alchemist when he joined the team, so there was no need to explain the pill's effects to an Alchemist. If it weren't for the pill's rarity and value, Mei Sanli would have thought it unnecessary to present it.
When Xunuo opened the jade bottle and took a look, he quickly identified it as a Vital Spirit Pill. The Vital Spirit Pill was an exceptional healing elixir; unlike ordinary healing medicines, it only worked effectively during Meridian recovery. The Vital Spirit Pill could remain effective during the recovery period and significantly enhance recovery speed.
However, the materials for the Vital Spirit Pill were precious, requiring an inner pill from a Demon Beast known as the Golden Silk Toad as its main ingredient. Thus, even though Xunuo had coveted it before, he lacked the ability to refine such a life-saving elixir. Moreover, Xunuo had focused his Alchemy efforts on creating pills for increasing cultivation levels and had not truly valued auxiliary medicinal pills. Looking back now, he realized that this oversight was quite significant. Nevertheless, there was no time for reflection; he swallowed the Vital Spirit Pill and began to heal his injuries.
Xunuo's current injuries were more severe than before. Last time, he could slowly channel the medicinal power through his Meridians for gradual recovery. Now, however, his Meridians could not support any flow of mana, preventing him from transmitting the medicinal power through them. Xunuo had no choice but to direct the medicinal energy first into his heart vein to restore it.
At that moment, Xunuo's heart beat in a slow and fragile manner. Any acceleration or increase in pressure could cause his heart vein to shatter. He carefully infused the refined medicinal energy into his heart vein, and soon he began to witness the miraculous effects of the Vital Spirit Pill. His heart vein gradually recovered, with its most noticeable effect being that his heartbeat became stronger. The blood surging through his heart vein was infused with the properties of the Vital Spirit Pill.
As this blood flowed throughout his body, it simultaneously carried the medicinal properties with it. This method was naturally slower than having the medicinal properties enter directly into his Meridians; however, its advantage lay in its thoroughness—there would be no blind spots because blood flow has none.
Yet this method was currently Xunuo's only option; he had no room for choice. The medicinal properties first entered his heart vein, leading to a more evident recovery there. As his heart grew stronger, more blood flowed out rapidly to reach every part of his body, gradually entering a positive cycle. The healing speed turned out to be quite decent.
