Chapter 305: Plot Against Crimson Flame
Seemingly provoked by Zhang Zhiliang's words, the flames entangled with the True Monarchs, using the opponent's power as fuel, intensified rapidly.
It was like a festering sore, difficult to eradicate.
Even though Zhang Zhiliang activated formations and constantly shifted the positions of the five True Monarchs, it only slightly slowed down the burning speed of the red flames.
"Fellow Daoists, let's attack!" The voice of True Monarch Hongxi resounded. With his words, an upside-down mountain pressed down towards the Crimson Flame. The mountain was as thin as a needle, yet seemed to carry substantial weight.
The flames around the Crimson Flame kept flickering as if being blown by a strong wind. Its body involuntarily sank downwards.
A shockwave erupted from the point of contact between the two, sweeping and spreading in all directions, creating huge waves, continuously spreading towards the outskirts of the Cong Yun Sea.
Passing over the Ten Thousand Immortals Island below, it even caused a slight sway in the Seven-Colored Immortal-Felling Formation. Under the upside-down mountain, the flames flickered. They seemed to disappear for a moment, ready to reappear and change position.
However, the next moment, the Crimson Flame was somewhat embarrassedly forced to reappear in its original position. In the surrounding space, countless rolling mountain ranges could be vaguely seen.
the Crimson Flame seemed to be trapped in a cage formed by the mountains, unable to move! It lowered its head slightly as if pondering something.
Next, everyone saw that the flames that had been constantly flickering on its body suddenly stopped.
Then, they abruptly contracted towards the center.
Before anyone could react, the Crimson Flame had transformed from a humanoid form into a pure red flame.
It was dazzling and fierce, full of destructive power.
The mountains that trapped it began to melt and collapse due to the extremely high temperature. Seeing the Crimson Flame about to break free, the attacks of the other True Monarchs suddenly came.
"Raging River, Endlessly Flowing!" Silver streams of water descended from the sky. Like dragons, they fiercely collided with the flames.
Although the river water evaporated in an instant, the Lancang River seemed endless, never stopping, slowing down the Crimson Flame's escape speed once again.
"Die!" A childish voice full of killing intent rang out.
In the vast river, a black and red figure quietly appeared beside the Crimson Flame.
Without the slightest breath of life, even with the Crimson Flame's perception, it wasn't until he approached that it suddenly realized.
"Tian Yang?" This black and red puppet was no stranger to Li Fan.
Different from the towering giant he saw before, the current Tian Yang puppet was human-sized.
Even Tian Yang's voice was no longer mechanical like before, but instead similar to a human.
Under the scorching temperature of the Crimson Flame, everything that approached would melt. Even the Soul Transformation Tian Yang puppet was no exception. His exterior seemed like snow under the sun, constantly melting.
But despite the destruction of his body, it seemed to have no effect on Tian Yang's combat power.
Even when his solid form completely dissolved and turned into boiling black and red liquid, Tian Yang still unleashed his power.
"Tian Yang's soul..."
"Not weaker than man!" The viscous material surged continuously, resembling water.
Entwining around the red flame, he didn't retreat even in the face of the Crimson Flame's scorching heat, wanting to contain it with himself.
the Crimson Flame was forced to shrink again.
As the Crimson Flame was attacked, the power of the flames that had been burning alongside the True Monarchs also decreased significantly.
Thus, their attacks became more fierce.
Under the siege of the five Soul Transformation True Monarchs, the Crimson Flame continuously compressed itself. Victory seemed within reach. But...
When compressed to the extreme, the flames disappeared.
There was only a red particle emitting a dazzling light, impossible to look directly at, surrounded by the True Monarchs.
Then, the red particle moved.
With a speed surpassing the perception of all present cultivators, it drew a red line on the vast sky.New novel chapters are published on
It pierced through the black and red viscous substance, creating a large hole in Tian Yang's body.
The central substance completely evaporated, and the surrounding viscous material churned, attempting to heal but suppressed by the residual high temperature, unable to recover.
The Lancang River and the upside-down mountain were instantly split in half by the red line. The river dried up, and the mountain collapsed. Two muffled groans sounded simultaneously.
True Monarch Haoxuan continuously fired silver arrows, but the silver lights couldn't match the speed of the flickering red line.
Instead, they were assimilated during the chase, turning into red hot arrows and shooting out again in different directions. The red line kept running wildly across the sky.
Anything blocking its path was evaporated by its destructive power.
Silver light kept flashing as Zhang Zhiliang helped the True Monarchs shift positions and resist the Crimson Flame's attacks. But even so, the True Monarchs' disadvantage kept growing. At this moment, Zhang Zhiliang finally acted again.
One thousand... two thousand... ten thousand...
Densely packed, countless silver cubes suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the airspace where the Crimson Flame and the five True Monarchs were fighting.
They appeared disorganized, but Li Fan could see that these numerous star-like formation crowns, both real and illusory, were forming a certain formation.
"Gather spirits!" Zhang Zhiliang coldly commanded.
Part of the formation in the sky, along with Zhang Zhiliang's voice, jointly bloomed with silver light. A super large-scale Spirit Gathering Formation composed of countless small Spirit Gathering Formations suddenly appeared.
A strong wind suddenly swept through the Cong Yun Sea, raising towering waves.
Seeing that this battle to exterminate the Heavenly Spirit was about to come to an end, but these two still hadn't made a move, Li Fan was somewhat puzzled.
He flew up slightly, surveying the surroundings, trying to find any possible traces of Ye Feipeng's presence.
"Hmm?" When he saw the surrounding scene clearly, Li Fan's heart jumped.
While all the cultivators' attention was focused on the world-shattering battle in the sky, Li Fan discovered that the surface of the Cong Yun Sea had unexpectedly dropped drastically without anyone noticing.
It was as if countless seawater had disappeared into thin air, and even some slightly shallow areas of the sea bed were exposed.
"He hasn't given up after all." Thinking of Ye Feipeng's comprehension of the Kun Peng's divine abilities, Li Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
Just as Li Fan was observing the surroundings, the Crimson Flame, under the continuous bombardment of the five True Monarchs, finally revealed signs of defeat.
The flames on its body flickered like a candle in the wind, constantly trembling. The final blow of the five True Monarchs was also about to come.
"I'll lend a hand to the True Monarchs!" Zhang Zhiliang's voice sounded out at the right moment. But to Li Fan's ears, there was a hint of coldness.
The tens of thousands of formations that covered the battlefield simultaneously emitted a faint light. Then, they simultaneously extinguished.
The moment they disappeared from the sky, they quietly moved and changed their positions. In an instant, a formation suddenly formed. "Gather spirits!"
Zhang Zhiliang's indifferent voice resounded once again.
This phrase had already appeared countless times on the battlefield before, and the cultivators present, including the several True Monarchs who were currently engaged in battle, had become accustomed to it.
However, unlike before, a tightly closed giant eye appeared in the sky. When the words "Gather spirits" sounded, the eye suddenly opened.
The Spirit Gathering Formation was activated, but the area where spiritual energy was drawn from was no longer the Cong Yun Sea. Instead, it was the battlefield shrouded under the eye!
The density of spiritual energy around them plummeted at a terrifying speed, and the five True Monarchs immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Zhang Zhiliang, you're courting death!" the voice of True Monarch Hongxi rang out, filled with shock and anger. The upside-down mountain changed its target and smashed towards the eye in the sky. However, the space ahead kept distorting.
That extremely heavy upside-down mountain, which seemed capable of crushing everything, couldn't fly to the eye in the sky.
Not only that, but the furious attacks of the other True Monarchs couldn't penetrate the distorted space either.
All their attacks were in vain.
"The Two Dimensions Formation? Have you broken through to the Soul Transformation realm?"
At this moment, True Monarch Ziyun, who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke up. The crisp voice made the faces of Hongxi and others change drastically. Zhang Zhiliang remained silent.
On the side, the Crimson Flame, who had been seriously injured, seized the opportunity to attack the stunned Soul Transformation True Monarchs.
Hongxi and the others were forced to fight the Crimson Flame again.
However, not only was spiritual energy greatly reduced within the Two Dimensions Formation this time, they couldn't recover either. Moreover, the eye in the sky would cast its gaze from time to time, freezing their movements.
Before long, faced with the double onslaught of the Crimson Flame and Zhang Zhiliang, the True Monarchs became heavily injured.
"Zhang Zhiliang, you are a dignified Soul Transformation cultivator and a Formation Master. How can you act so despicably?"
"Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by everyone?" True Monarch Lancang rebuked angrily. In response, there was only the deathly stare of the eye.
Even True Monarch Hongxi didn't expect that they would fall into the scheme of this former subordinate.
"Please lend a hand, Senior Golden Sun!" he shouted somewhat anxiously.
After hesitating for a moment in the sky, the great sun finally emitted a beam of golden light. Just as this beam of light was about to fall on the eye, a dark cloud suddenly appeared, blocking the golden light.
"Junior Zhang, don't worry about it! Old Man Golden Sun won't get in your way!"
Zhang Zhiliang finally spoke at this moment. "Thank you, Senior, for your help."
"Black Crow?!" Golden Sun's surprised and angry voice echoed through the sky.
However, facing the dark clouds that covered the golden sun, Immortal Sage Golden Sun fell silent. After a moment, the sun that covered the Cong Yun Sea slowly receded.
"Senior Golden Sun!" Hongxi let out a desperate cry as he fended off the Crimson Flame's attacks.
But there was no response.
Seeing even their strongest support giving up, a streak of starlight suddenly streaked through the sky. True Monarch Ziyun transformed into starlight and tore through space in an instant, leaving without saying a word.
The eye gazed into the distance before withdrawing its gaze after a moment. Zhang Zhiliang chose not to pursue. He just watched the desperate struggle within the Two Dimensions Formation.
For the Crimson Flame, everything before it was an enemy to be destroyed, so the attacks never ceased.
As for the remaining four Soul Transformation cultivators, survival was their instinct. Faced with the Crimson Flame's attacks, it was impossible for them not to counterattack and await death.
However, with several of them already heavily injured and lacking the assistance of Golden Sun and Ziyun, they were no match for the Crimson Flame.
So, even though they were unwilling in their hearts...
They could only fall into Zhang Zhiliang's plan and consume the remaining power of the Crimson Flame with their lives. True Monarch Lancang fell first. Haoxuan and Hongxi followed suit. Only Tian Yang, with the most tenacious vitality, was still struggling.
The moment to reap the harvest and become a Dao Integration Immortal Sage was right before Zhang Zhiliang's eyes. Even with his scheming and cold nature, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Just as he was about to make a move...
He suddenly realized that a shadow covering the entire Cong Yun Sea had enveloped him without him noticing.
As if the heavens and earth had opened up, a terrifying monster of indescribable size suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea.
It swallowed him and the Crimson Flame, who was sealed by countless formations, in one gulp.
