Chapter 1838 Breaking out of the siege
Although Ye Yan wanted to help, he also knew that protecting the wounded and serving as a mobile support force were equally important.
Once the plan was agreed upon, everyone no longer hesitated and immediately began preparations.
The Blue-Faced Fox used a secret technique, and streaks of azure light, like gentle vines, wrapped around Mingchuan and herself.
The two's auras quickly became weak and ethereal, as if they had merged with the moss and lichen on the surrounding rock walls. This was precisely the life mimicry concealment technique that the Blue-Faced Fox was good at.
Mingchuan then mobilized his remaining spatial power once again, creating a thin layer of spatial distortion around the two of them to further isolate their auras and physical forms.
Like two shadows blending into the rock, the two silently slipped out of the crevice, clinging to the rugged rock walls at the edge of the cave, and stealthily made their way towards the giant pit.
Inside the cave, the ascetics and puppets had not yet stopped their search, but due to the earlier chaos and the interference of the bone fragments' Buddha light, their search appeared somewhat disorganized.
More attention should be paid to the upper part of the cave and the obvious passage entrances.
Mingchuan and Qingmianhu carefully avoided several waves of patrolling puppets. With their exquisite stealth techniques and perception of energy channels, they finally circled around to the other side of the giant pit, close to the pit wall.
Here, one can see more clearly that several thick, dark gold conduits, pulsating like blood vessels, are indeed embedded in the pit wall. One end extends into an unknown part of the pit wall, while the other end connects to the edge runes of the ground array.
The surface of the conduit was teeming with a rich, dark golden energy, emanating a chilling aura of malevolent energy mixed with Buddhist power.
"It's right there... three main tubes, and a few finer auxiliary veins." Mingchuan transmitted his voice to the Green-Faced Fox, pointing to the location.
"I need to cut off three main pipes simultaneously to interrupt the energy supply to the greatest extent possible. I only have one chance; the moment I cut them off, it may cause an energy backlash and trigger an alarm in the array."
"Don't worry, I will use the Green Wood Barrier to temporarily isolate the backlash and purify it for you immediately."
The blue-faced fox nodded, its hands already secretly gathering pure purifying power.
Mingchuan took a deep breath and adjusted himself to his best condition.
He extended his right hand, and each of his five fingertips emitted a highly refined and subtle silver glint.
This is his way of compressing the remaining spatial power to the extreme, like the sharpest scalpel.
Three catheters... must be applied simultaneously, precisely, and thoroughly!
His eyes sharpened, and he silently counted in his mind.
Three...two...one!
Do it!
Three silver threads shot out silently from his fingertips almost simultaneously, precisely attaching to the finest energy gaps where the three dark gold energy conduits met the pit wall.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any ear-piercing tearing sound.
There was only a faint hum, like glass being instantly shattered by ultra-high frequency vibration.
Three thick, dark gold tubes suddenly developed extremely fine silver cracks at the seemingly insignificant point of contact with the silver wire!
The crack spread instantly, reaching the entire cross-section of the conduit!
next moment--
"Puff puff!"
Three soft sounds, like full bubbles being popped.
Three conduits, pulsating like blood vessels and flowing with rich dark gold energy, were severed at the root!
The fracture was smooth and even, but there was no torrent of energy gushing out as one might have imagined.
Because at the moment of disconnection, the energy circuit flowing inside the conduit was forcibly cut off, the array in front lost its source, and the energy behind was blocked deep in the pit wall, forming a brief energy vacuum and blockage.
“Buzz——!!!”
The massive, dark golden array on the ground suddenly dimmed, then began to flicker violently, its light fading intermittently!
At the center of the formation, the distorted and illusory star gate shook violently like a poorly receiving image, and even showed signs of dissipating at its edges!
The formation's operation has suffered a fatal stagnation!
"A good opportunity!" Almost at the same time the catheter broke, the Blue-Faced Fox's low shout rang out.
She pressed her hands forward, and the cyan light she had prepared beforehand instantly unfolded, transforming into a flexible yet sturdy semi-transparent barrier that enveloped Mingchuan in front of him. It perfectly blocked the first wave of energy backlash, which was mixed with violent baleful energy and chaotic Buddhist power, coming from the root of the severed conduit and the direction of the ground array!
"Chichichichi——!"
The chaotic, dark golden energy struck the azure wood barrier, producing a violent corrosive sound. Dense ripples spread across the surface of the barrier, but it firmly protected Mingchuan behind it.
The blue-faced fox's face turned slightly pale, clearly indicating that it was not easy to withstand this backlash.
As soon as Mingchuan shot out the silver thread, his body was struck as if by a heavy blow, he swayed violently, and his face became even paler.
Forcibly activating such a precise cut was a huge burden on his already weakened soul and spiritual power.
But he endured the dizziness and the stinging pain in his meridians, and immediately transmitted his voice to the distant Master Lingxu:
"The conduit has broken! The formation is unstable!"
Almost at the same time he transmitted his voice—
"Enemy attack! Energy core destroyed!"
"Over there! At the pit wall!"
"Get 'em!!"
The sudden change in the formation immediately alarmed all the ascetics and puppets.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators reacted the fastest, their shocked and angry gazes instantly locking onto the approximate location where Mingchuan and the Green-Faced Fox were hiding, and they shouted sharply.
The outer swarm of puppets, like an enraged bee, turned around and swarmed towards the pit wall!
The nine Core Formation cultivators also rose up in a sudden attack.
However, just as their attention was drawn to Mingchuan and his companion, and their formation faltered slightly—
"The moon falls—the sky collapses!"
Lingxu Zhenren's clear and majestic voice, like ice falling from the heavens, resounded throughout the entire cave!
He no longer hid, and his figure appeared high in the sky on the other side of the cave. He held up his hands, and a bright moon, which was only about ten feet in diameter but was extremely condensed and emitted a destructive wave, had already taken shape above his head!
Without any buildup or prelude, the moment the bright moon appeared, it transformed into a blinding beam of light that tore through space, crashing headlong into the unstable dome and crystallized layer area that Mingchuan had previously pointed out!
"Hahaha! Explode! Crimson Flame - Starburst!"
The Crimson Flame Fox's maniacal laughter and roar followed immediately!
He seemed to transform into a blazing, crimson-gold sun, carrying terrifying heat and explosive will that could burn away the eight wastelands. He struck first, almost simultaneously with Lingxu Zhenren's moonlight pillar, and crashed hard into the very center of the crystallized dome!
The full force of two Nascent Soul stage experts, and a precise strike targeting their weak points!
Rumble——! ! !
A terrifying roar, indescribable in its deafening force, exploded within the cave!
The already extremely unstable crystallized dome, like a glass ceiling struck by a heavy hammer, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!
Immediately following, under the combined effects of the corrosive and decomposing power of the moonlight and the violent explosion of the crimson flames—
Collapsed!
It wasn't just a small piece of rock that broke off; rather, large swathes of special rock layers, imbued with the power of chaotic stars, crashed down like a landslide!
As the shattered crystallized rock fell, it rubbed and collided with the dense, chaotic energy in the air, bursting forth with colorful and destructive energy turbulence!
Even more terrifying is that the collapse of the dome seems to have truly triggered a resonance with the turbulent energy source deep within the earth's depths!
