Chapter 45: Hidden Crisis and a Turning Point
Under the siege of the crowd, the beast was covered with wounds, and black blood kept flowing, dyeing the surrounding ground black. Its movements became slower and slower, and it seemed to be struggling every time it resisted the attacks of the crowd. However, the shadow was not panicked. He stood beside the altar, with a sinister and proud look in his eyes, as if all this was in his plan.
The evil beast suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the dark aura on its body suddenly expanded rapidly, and its exhausted body seemed to be full of strength again. Its six arms danced at the same time, and the dark energy swept towards everyone like a surging tide. The Pure World Immortal hurriedly waved his whisk, forming a golden light curtain, trying to resist the impact of the dark energy. Ao Bing summoned a huge water shield, Bajie danced the Nine-toothed Rake tightly, Xifeng used ice to strengthen the defense, and Fengyao also used all his strength to activate the Holy Spirit Source Pearl to release the power of purification to fight against the dark energy.
But this time, the beast's attack was too powerful, and everyone's defense was shaky under the impact of the dark energy. The golden light curtain gradually dimmed, cracks appeared on the water shield, and the nine-toothed rake was eroded by the dark energy, making a "sizzling" sound. The ice layer melted quickly, and the purification power of the Holy Spirit Pearl was also suppressed. The dark energy broke through everyone's defense like a crazy beast and pounced on them.
Everyone was hit by the dark energy and flew backwards. Yang Jian stabilized himself in the air, looking at the injured people lying on the ground, his heart filled with anxiety and anger. He opened his Sky Eye again, and the golden light emitted by the Sky Eye reached an unprecedented intensity, trying to fight the evil beast again with his own strength.
At this moment, the shadow suddenly formed a complex seal with his hands and muttered something. The runes on the altar glowed brightly, and the black vortex spun violently again. When the evil beast heard the shadow's spell, a trace of fear flashed in its originally crazy eyes, but it still suppressed its fear and turned to walk towards the altar.
Yang Jian realized that the shadow must be planning something more terrible. He ignored his own pain and rushed towards the beast, trying to stop it from approaching the altar. The beast sensed Yang Jian's intention and swung one arm towards Yang Jian fiercely, shooting a black energy blade at Yang Jian. Yang Jian dodged sideways, but the energy blade still grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep wound, and blood immediately stained his clothes red.
The evil beast took advantage of Yang Jian's escape and quickened its pace to the altar. The shadow placed his hands on the evil beast's back, and a strong dark force flowed from his body into the evil beast's body. The evil beast's body began to undergo strange changes. Its body continued to expand, and its already huge body became even larger. The claws on its six arms became sharper and flashed with a faint light. Its eyes turned red, and the dark aura emanating from its body was not only stronger, but also faintly carried a sense of despair.
"No, the shadow has strengthened the evil beast. We must stop it as soon as possible!" The Immortal of Purification struggled to stand up and shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, everyone endured the pain and prepared to fight the evil beast again. But the evil beast was much stronger at this time. Everyone knew that this would be an extremely difficult battle, and they might even pay the price of their lives.
Just as everyone was preparing to fight to the death, Feng Yao suddenly discovered that the runes around the altar seemed to have a certain pattern, similar to an ancient formation she had seen in ancient books. She was moved and hurriedly said to everyone: "Don't be impulsive, this altar rune may be the key. If we can crack the rune formation, maybe we can stop the ghost and the evil beast."
After hearing Feng Yao's words, everyone felt a glimmer of hope. But time was running out. After absorbing the power of the shadow, the evil beast slowly turned around and cast a murderous look at everyone again. The Pure World Immortal said, "Feng Yao, you should study the method of breaking the rune as soon as possible, and we will hold the evil beast back." After that, he rushed towards the evil beast first, and the whisk in his hand turned into a long golden rainbow, rushing straight towards the evil beast.
Ao Bing, Bajie and Xifeng followed without hesitation. Ao Bing summoned several ice spikes, shooting them at the beast like sharp arrows; Bajie wielded the nine-toothed rake and smashed it with great force; Xifeng created a strong wind around the beast to interfere with its vision and movement. Yang Jian also joined the battle, with the three-pointed double-edged sword dancing in his hand, flashing cold light, and engaging in a fierce battle with the beast.
Feng Yao concentrated all her attention on observing the runes on the altar. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she kept recalling the records in the ancient books. As she studied the runes in depth, she gradually found some clues. The arrangement of the runes seemed to be related to the position of the stars. Activating the runes in a specific order might be able to break the formation.
However, just when Feng Yao was about to find a solution, the evil
