Zhao Yingkong: ????
Looking at those black tendrils that were rushing towards herself crazily, this girl who had previously been an assassin and had now become a warrior couldn't help but look confused.
No, why are you chasing me? Can't the blood races and demon people on the side be more appealing? Or is it because of the bloodline of the Golden Horned Beast that is more in line with the requirements for demon possession?
While thinking this in her heart, Zhao Yingkong's running speed showed no decrease.
The second-level gene lock opened instantly, and she simultaneously powered up her Golden Horned Beast bloodline to a full extent. This caused her attributes to increase tenfold in all aspects, allowing her to dash out of the range of those black tendrils in a flash, leaving a considerable distance between herself and them.
[Stop those tentacles, they're targeting Yingkong!]
Zhàn Lán shouted in the spiritual network, then launched a full-force mental assault, trying to inflict damage on the will in the dark nebula. Even if it didn't work, it could at least buy time for everyone to launch a counterattack.
As expected, the power of the ancient demon was too terrifying. The accumulation of years had already taken him beyond the boundaries of ordinary mortals, and he was also skilled in mental manipulation.
If evaluated in the context of the Master God Space, the peak of the "Forgotten" would be at least a four and a half God, and there is even a possibility that it has approached four High Divinities.
Therefore, even though it is now only left with a half-ruined soul, its spiritual power is still immense and terrifying, far beyond what a mere spirit controller who has activated a second-stage gene lock can suppress.
[Rolling —— !!!]
A tone of impatience rang out in the spiritual realm, like a giant hammer fiercely striking Zhàn Lán's spiritual world. She couldn't help but groan and spray out a large amount of blood from her mouth and nose.
But this brief delay did give the members of the Zhongzhou team a chance to attack. They all exerted their utmost effort, aiming to cut and destroy those black tendrils, not allowing them to advance even a little further.
The effect was mediocre. The tendrils seemed to exist between reality and fantasy. Every time the crowd attacked them, they would pass through like shadows, appearing as if they were fighting against the air.
But once the tendrils launched a counter-attack, they would turn from illusory to real, causing considerable damage to the Zhongzhou team. They gave off an illusion of directly attacking their souls. If it weren't for Chu Xuan's upgraded protective gear, it might have already resulted in casualties.
Seeing this, Zhao Yingkong wanted to run back to help, but Chu Xuan stopped her with a word.
There is no doubt that the "Forgotten One" is clearly coveting her body. Although it is unknown why, if it were to succeed, its strength might skyrocket, making the situation even worse.
In that case, it would be better to have Zhao Yingkong move around the battlefield to distract the "Forgotten One."
At the same time, seeing the crowd gradually fall into disadvantage, Zhàn Lán, whose spirit was damaged, gathered her last bit of strength and activated the brainwave enhancer on her forehead to its maximum capacity.
Finally, in the last moment, she managed to send a message to Wu Xian across the vastness of interstellar space, conveying the general situation here in a disjointed manner.
After completing that, Zhàn Lán lost all her energy and fainted directly, falling backward. She was then caught by Xu Gao, who had been following her closely.
From her pale complexion, it was evident that she would be unable to participate in combat for a considerable amount of time in the near future.
Dammit!!
Upon sensing the disruption of the mental link, the members of Zhongzhou team were filled with anger, among them Zheng Zha, whose flame of karma was burning fiercely. It enveloped those illusory tendrils and burned them rapidly.
"Roar, roar, roar —— —— !!!"
The "Forgotten One" now embodying the dark nebula let out a roar for the first time, a sound that seemed like an animal caught in a trap, filled with pain and confusion.
That's right, this ancient demon cannot understand why a mere bloodsucker, whose bloodline wasn't particularly high-level, could possess such an absurdly powerful and strange flame that could even harm his half-god soul. It is simply inconceivable.
So thinking, the "Forgotten One" finally looked at Zheng Zha with a serious gaze, seeing a glimpse of Dracula (Gabriel) in him. He recalled the time when he was defeated and his power was taken away by that person.
In an instant, the "Forgotten One" generated a strong desire for kill. With a roar, a massive amount of black mist erupted from the nebula, eventually transforming into a giant hand that slammed down towards Zheng Zha from the sky.
Zheng Zha was on high alert, and all the flames on his body were transferred to his hands.
Meanwhile, the fire, as clear as jade, was constantly compressed and condensed under his control. Finally, it condensed into a blood-red fire lotus flower that flew towards the black giant palm in front of him.
This is a skill created by Zheng Zha with the help of Wu Xian and Chu Xuan.
By compressing the limit of the Flame Power, it can condense terrifying power in a short period of time.
If fully detonated, its power is not inferior to that of a small nuclear bomb. It specializes in countering all negative energy and is currently his most powerful attack method.
During the training in the Ju-on world, Wu Xian had seen Zheng Zha use this move and couldn't help but praise him, calling him the "Burning Emperor" and helping to give it a cool name—
"Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus!!!"
Zheng Zha roared and the flower burst into brilliant light as it collided with the black palm.
Wum wum wum — ——!!!!
The shockwave expanded in a circular pattern, and then rapidly spread outwards, creating a ripple effect in the air. The void seemed to be shaken by it, and even a leak of its energy could destroy everything. The entire blood castle began to rapidly dissolve from the bottom up……
The remaining shockwave caused by the energy collision scattered the dark clouds in the sky and sunlight shone down, illuminating the blood castle that had been flattened.
Crack!
Only a mound of earth rose up, and a translucent protective barrier slowly rose, revealing the unscathed Zhongzhou team.
Just when Zheng Zha and the "Forgotten One" were battling each other with their ultimate moves, Chu Xuan had already informed everyone to gather together in advance to avoid damage from the residual energy. Zhao Yingkong also returned with Zheng Zha, who was at the verge of exhaustion, just in time for this moment, which is why they are seeing this scene now.
Chu Xuan held the Yutian ring and scanned the surroundings, only to find that the "Forgotten One" was nowhere to be seen. He then looked at Zheng Zha, who looked extremely exhausted, and at Zhàn Lán who was still in a coma beside him. His brow furrowed tightly, clearly indicating that he found the current situation quite tricky as well.
"Wait! Where's Fán Hàixīn?"
Cheng Xiao exclaimed suddenly, and then the other members of the Zhongzhou team noticed that Fan Haixin was not within the protective shield, or that during the battle, everyone had subconsciously ignored his presence.
Thinking about the terrifying power unleashed in that strike, the few people like Zheng Zha couldn't help but worry in their hearts.
"Don't worry, he's not that easy to kill."
The girl's voice, tinged with amusement, echoed faintly, causing the people present to startle.
