Chapter 1996: Demonic Summoning Arts? Four Symbols Locking Spirit Array! (Part 2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
These black-clothed cultivators seem to have some special sensitivity to the Star Map or things related to it.“Hehehe, it seems you prefer the hard way.”
The Nascent Soul stage black-clothed cultivator saw that Luo Qingchen remained unmoved, and a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
“Since that is the case, I shall show you what true despair means!”
He suddenly clasped his hands together, muttering an incantation, as purer and more evil demonic qi frantically surged from within him.
The ground under his feet began to tremble violently.
The surrounding demonic qi, as if summoned, madly converged towards him.
“With my blood, I feed the eternal demon soul!”
“In my name, I call upon the Nine Nether Demon Shadow!”
“Demon Shadow descends, devouring all!”
With his last incantation,
the space behind him suddenly distorted like the surface of water.
Black cracks appeared out of thin air, spreading like cobwebs.
In the center of those cracks, an extremely dense black mist was slowly coalescing.
Within the black mist, a terrifying demon shadow, several meters tall, was gradually taking shape.
The demon shadow was entirely pitch black, with a hunched figure, broken wings on its back, curved horns on its head, and blood-red eyes exuding a bloodthirsty and violent light.
Merely its emitted aura caused the surrounding space to become stagnant.
Wherever it passed, on the scorched earth, the remaining evil qi and grievances were completely devoured by it, transforming into its own power.
Even the air seemed to emit a “sizzling” sound under its corrosion.
“This is… a summoning-type Demonic Path secret technique!”
Su Xiaowan’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
She had read similar records in ancient tomes; this kind of demon shadow is refined with countless living souls and essence blood, not only powerful but also extremely difficult to deal with. Once entangled, it fights to the death.
“It’s over, it’s all over now.”
Su Xiaowan’s small face showed a look of despair for the first time.
As soon as the demon shadow appeared, it let out a roar that shook the divine soul, then began to march heavily towards the three of Luo Qingchen.
With each step it took, it left a deep footprint in the ground, within which demonic qi surged, corroding everything around it.
“Senior Brother, let’s run!”
Su Xiaowan tugged on Luo Qingchen’s sleeve, her voice tinged with sobs.
Luo Qingchen’s expression was unprecedentedly serious.
He could feel that the demon shadow’s power had nearly reached the level of the Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage, perhaps even beyond.
Moreover, with the Nascent Soul Initial Realm black-clothed cultivator and another four Golden Core Refining Stage demonic cultivators, they seemed to have no chance of winning.
At this critical moment,
a flash of insight suddenly appeared in Luo Qingchen’s mind.
The knowledge from the Inheritance Hall about ancient arrays surged like a tide.
Among them was a trapping array known as the Four Symbols Locking Spirit Array.
Although this array wasn’t of a high grade, its advantage lay in its simplicity of setup and the ability to enhance its power by utilizing external objects.
“Xiaowan, do you still have any earth attribute and gold attribute defense talismans on you?”
Luo Qingchen asked urgently.
Su Xiaowan was momentarily stunned, although she didn’t know what Luo Qingchen intended to do, she instinctively pulled out several earth-yellow Thick Earth Talismans and gold-glimmering Sharp Gold Talismans from her storage bag.
“Wan’er, you attack from the east, using wood to counter earth!”
“Xiaowan, you cover the west, using fire to counter gold!”
“Bai Ling’er, help me suppress its demonic qi!”
Luo Qingchen quickly assigned tasks.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan, though unclear about his intentions, acted immediately according to his instructions out of trust.
In Lin Wan’er’s hand, the Green Vine Whip instantly transformed into numerous green vines, entwining around the lower part of the demon shadow as if they had a life of their own.
Su Xiaowan then activated all her Sharp Gold Talismans, transforming them into dozens of peerlessly sharp golden sword qi, attacking the demon shadow’s right side.
Meanwhile, always embraced by Lin Wan’er, Bai Ling’er felt Luo Qingchen’s summons.
She opened her small mouth and let out a high-pitched dragon’s roar.
A surge of pure and immense dragon power swept out from her little body.
Although this dragon power couldn’t directly harm the demon shadow, it acted like an invisible shackle, suppressing the violent demonic qi on the demon shadow.
The motion of the demon shadow noticeably paused.
Its blood-red eyes dimmed slightly.
Now!
A gleam of determination flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes, as he formed hand seals and chanted.
He slapped all the Thick Earth Talismans given by Su Xiaowan into the ground.
Simultaneously, he took several star force-infused stones from his storage bag and placed them in specific positions around.
“With the stars as guide, earth as foundation, Four Symbols Locking Spirit, activate!”
With a low shout,
the talismans and stones he had set burst into dazzling light.
Earth-yellow light screens rose from the ground, forming a square cage that temporarily trapped the enormous demon shadow within.
The demon shadow, sensing the threat, began to madly collide against the light-caged walls.
Each impact caused the light screen to shake violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.
“Hmph, paltry trick, yet you dare show it off before me!”
The Nascent Soul stage black-clothed cultivator saw this, a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes.
He swayed and was about to step forward to break the formation.
However, at that moment, Luo Qingchen’s gaze, like two sharp swords, targeted him.
“Your opponent is me.”
Luo Qingchen’s voice was cold and resolute.
He knew this Four Symbols Locking Spirit Array wouldn’t restrain the demon shadow for long.
He had to find a way to eliminate this major threat during the interval.
Or, at the very least, extract more secrets about the Star Map from him.
The Nascent Soul stage black-clothed cultivator’s gaze once again fell on the Star Map bronze disk on Luo Qingchen’s chest, a hint of unnoticeable desire glimmering in his eyes.
“Boy, it seems you truly want to die.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let you have your wish!”
Ignoring the trapped demon shadow, he focused all his attention on Luo Qingchen.
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, gripping the Black Dragon Sword sheath tightly.
He could feel the faint intent to lock on from the opponent, aimed not just at him but more so at the Star Map he carried.
The knowledge of these black-clothed cultivators about the Star Map seemed to far exceed his imagination.
What kind of force did they have behind them?
What earth-shattering secrets did the Star Map involve?
These questions flashed through his mind.
But he knew now wasn’t the time to ponder these.
The enemy in front of him was his greatest threat.
The enormous demon shadow temporarily trapped by the Four Symbols Locking Spirit Array let out roars of discontent.
Its blood-red eyes fixed on Luo Qingchen outside the formation, filled with violent and bloodthirsty desire.
Each collision caused the earth-yellow light screen to shake violently, with fine cracks even beginning to appear on its surface.
Su Xiaowan saw this, turned pale, and hurriedly tossed out several more Thick Earth Talismans to reinforce the formation, but it was simply a drop in the bucket.
“Senior Brother, this formation won’t hold much longer!”
Su Xiaowan shouted anxiously.
Luo Qingchen was well aware of this yet.
His gaze remained fixed on the Nascent Soul Initial Realm black-clothed cultivator.
This was the real key.
As long as they eliminated him, or made him temporarily lose mobility, they might have a chance to escape.
“Boy, your expertise in formation is commendable, but unfortunately, in front of me, it’s still vulnerable.”
The Nascent Soul stage black-clothed cultivator spoke grimly, advancing towards Luo Qingchen step by step.
With each step, the demonic qi on him became denser, with the suffocating pressure increasing as well.
Luo Qingchen said nothing, quietly running the Chaos Star Transformation to adjust his state to its peak.
What lay ahead was a true life-and-death battle.
