Chapter 1060: Divine Lightning to the Rescue

Right as the ghostly creatures reached roughly a thousand feet away from everyone, an azure light barrier rose up from the bodies of Valley Master Fu and the others amid a loud draconic roar.

A series of azure dragon projections were roaming over the light barrier, which was releasing dazzling radiance that pierced straight into the dark clouds above.

As soon as the ghostly creatures crashed into the azure light barrier, a chorus of bloodcurdling howls instantly rang out.

The light barrier was flashing incessantly as the ghostly creatures that crashed into it began to disintegrate into plumes of black smoke amid a loud sizzling sound.

However, these ghostly creatures hadn't tasted living human flesh for countless years, and they had already been driven completely insane, so they continued to throw themselves at the azure light barrier without any regard for self-preservation.

Meanwhile, Han Li continued to act as a passive observer.

Jin Liu was furious to see this, and he yelled, "What are you doing? If you're not going to help, then don't expect us to protect you!"

Han Li paid no heed to Jin Liu as he remained standing still on the spot, looking up at the dark clouds above with a contemplative expression.

High up in the sky, the Heavenly Water Sect cultivators were locked in battle against the ten ghostly generals.

In contrast with all of the ghostly creatures down below, these ghostly generals possessed astonishing cultivation bases. Most of them possessed peak-Golden Immortal Stage powers, and their cultivation arts were extremely obscure and peculiar, granting a wide range of unpredictable abilities.

The scholarly man was the most powerful one among them, possessing mid-High Zenith Stage power, and his robe was extremely peculiar, seeming with two entire worlds contained within its sleeves.

Right at this moment, a vast expanse of black light erupted out of his left sleeve before crashing down upon Su Anqian, who was wielding an intricate blue fan, which she waved through the air to release a burst of light that created an enormous rift in the space before her.

At the same time, there was a green river embroidered onto the fan, and it abruptly vanished without any warning.

The sound of turbulent, flowing water rang out from the spatial rift as an enormous river came gushing out from within, crashing toward the scholarly man.

In response, a mocking sneer appeared on the scholarly man's face, and the black light surging out of his sleeve transformed into an enormous black vortex that began devouring the flowing river.

There seemed to be no end to the river that was gushing out of the spatial rift, but there also seemed to be no end to the black vortex's voracious appetite, resembling a bottomless abyss that could never be filled.

As the river flowed into the scholarly man's left sleeve, it came gushing back out of his right sleeve toward Su Anqian, but in the process, it had become severely contaminated with blood and floating corpses.

Right at this moment, a burst of thunderous rumbling suddenly rang out from the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and the entire roof of the hall was flung up into the air.

As it turned out, the two heavenly king statues inside had sprung to life, and they tore their way out of the hall before marching toward the plaza.

One of the heavenly king statues hurled the bloody head in its hand through the air, sending it crashing down onto the Azure Dragon Origin Array like a giant boulder.

A burst of mountainous force instantly came crashing down upon the array, almost shattering it instantly.

Everyone that was powering the array instantly shuddered as they each threw up a mouthful of blood, while the array itself began to sway unsteadily, and the azure dragon projections roaming over its surface also took on a more illusory appearance.

All of the ghostly creatures swarming onto the array instantly erupted into an excited frenzy upon seeing this, and at this rate, the array wasn't going to be able to hold itself intact for much longer.

Han Li could see that the other heavenly statue had already raised the vajra pestle in its hand, motioning as if it were going to hurl the pestle at the array as well.

In its current condition, there was no way that the array would be able to withstand another heavy blow, and with that in mind, Han Li heaved an internal sigh as he swept a sleeve through the air.

If you're not going to reveal yourself, then I'll just have to force your hand!

Eighteen streaks of golden light flew out of his sleeve in rapid succession, then pierced into the ground surrounding the Azure Dragon Origin Array, revealing themselves to be eighteen Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

Valley Master Fu and the others immediately turned to Han Li with bewildered expressions upon seeing this, and they were even more perplexed by the fact that nothing else happened after the flying swords pierced into the ground.

The ghostly creatures outside the array paid no heed to this at all as they continued to converge from all directions, quickly burying the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords beneath them.

The weakened array wasn't able to eradicate these ghostly creatures as quickly as before, and they piled up higher and higher, finally inundating the entire array.

The heavenly king statue lowered its vajra pestle upon seeing this, seemingly deeming it no longer necessary to hurl the pestle at the array.

Su Anqian heaved a forlorn sigh upon seeing this.

"Don't worry about them, we need to focus on the task at hand," Jin Liu yelled with a grim expression.

All of a sudden, eighteen extraordinarily thick pillars of lightning erupted into the heavens from the plaza below, sending countless arcs of lightning flashing through the air in all directions.

Huge clouds of black mist rose up into the air as countless ghostly creatures were eradicated by the golden lightning, and a stunned look appeared in Su Anqian's eyes as she exclaimed, "This is Divine Devilbane Lightning!"
