Chapter 458 Summoning the Soul!!! (Page 12)
The group climbed down the dark rock wall, the surrounding air becoming increasingly viscous, as if even breathing was being suppressed by some invisible force.
Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain created a safe zone in the darkness, but a hissing sound of corrosion kept coming from the edge of the domain, as if something was eroding his power.
Baili Pangpang's boots slipped on the wet, slippery rock face, and he almost slipped and fell: "Even the rocks in this godforsaken place are alive?!"
Anqingyu's detector suddenly emitted a piercing alarm: "High energy reaction ahead—something is approaching!"
Before he could finish speaking, the rock wall beneath his feet suddenly trembled!
"boom--!!!"
A huge claw emerged from the darkness and slammed down on the group!
Lin Qiye's black box straight sword was instantly drawn, its blade as black as ink, and it collided fiercely with the sharp claws!
"clang--!!!"
The deafening clang of metal clashing echoed through the abyss, sparks flying everywhere!
By the flash of the blade, everyone finally saw the attacker's full appearance—
It was a ten-meter-tall abyssal demon, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, each scale engraved with twisted runes and flowing with dark red blood light. Its head resembled a giant lizard, its fangs protruding like scimitars, and scorching sulfurous flames churning deep within its throat.
What's most chilling are its eyes—six scarlet vertical pupils, each reflecting a different scene of death!
"Those who trespass into the abyss... die!"
The demon's roar stirred up a bloody wind, causing everyone's robes to flutter wildly!
Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame erupted first, and a crimson-gold dragon shadow wrapped around his right arm as he punched the demon's chest!
"Candle Dragon - Mountain Collapse!"
"boom--!!!"
The dragon flames exploded, blasting spiderweb-like cracks into the demon's scales, but they healed in an instant at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Physical attacks are ineffective?!" Zhang Yun's pupils shrank sharply.
The demon grinned maliciously, its claws sweeping across, forcing Zhang Yun back dozens of meters!
Cao Yuan's black blade surged with murderous intent, his figure like a ghost approaching the demon's back, the blade piercing straight for the spine!
"Black King - Broken Spine!"
"laugh--!!!"
The black blade pierced through the scales, and the malevolent energy frantically corroded the demon's flesh!
The demon cried out in pain, and its thick tail lashed out like a steel whip. Cao Yuan couldn't dodge in time and was slammed into the rock wall!
"Old Cao!" Baili Pangpang roared, charging the electromagnetic cannon to its limit and blasting it towards the demon's eyeball!
"boom--!!!"
The scarlet eyeballs burst open, spurting pus and blood!
The demon let out a deafening roar, and its remaining five eyes locked onto Baili Pangpang, while sulfurous flames spewed from its throat!
"Eternal Night - Devouring the Heavens!"
Lin Qiye's domain suddenly expanded, and the pitch-black barrier completely engulfed the flames!
An Qingyu's mechanical arm popped up an analysis screen: "Its scales have self-healing capabilities, but each healing consumes abyssal energy within its body! The higher the attack frequency, the slower its recovery speed!"
"Then attack it before it can heal!" Lin Qiye shouted coldly. "Zhang Yun, Cao Yuan, suppress it! Fatty, aim for the joints! An Qingyu, find the energy core!"
"understand!"
Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame was fully unleashed, his arms transformed into dragon claws, each strike carrying the power to burn mountains and boil seas!
Cao Yuan's murderous aura merged with the black blade, and the blade light poured down like a torrential rain, specifically targeting the gaps in the scales and armor!
Baili Pangpang switched his electromagnetic cannon to rapid-fire mode, targeting the demon's knees and elbows to slow its movements!
The demon's roar grew increasingly violent, but its movements became noticeably clumsy, and its healing speed began to decrease!
"Found it!" An Qingyu's detector locked onto a dark red crystal on the demon's chest. "That's its energy core!"
"Cover me!" Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain suddenly contracted, and he transformed into a black lightning bolt, piercing straight into the demon's chest!
The demon sensed the danger, and all six of its eyes simultaneously unleashed crimson beams!
"Don't even think about it!" Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame transformed into a barrier, forcefully withstanding the beam of light!
"Cao Yuan!"
"Black King - Godslayer!"
Cao Yuan's murderous aura merged with the black blade, severing the demon's right arm with a single strike!
"It's now!"
Lin Qiye's black box blade pierced the dark red crystal—
"Click——!!!"
The moment the crystal shattered, the demon's body cracked like porcelain, and dark red energy erupted like a volcanic eruption!
"boom--!!!"
The terrifying shockwave sent everyone flying, and most of the abyss rock wall collapsed!
The demon's remains fell into darkness, but the abyss did not return to peace.
The shattered crystal fragments floated in the air, suddenly drawn by some invisible force, flying deeper into the abyss!
Anqingyu's detector flashed wildly: "Energy readings have skyrocketed! Something below is absorbing the demon's power!"
"Chase!" Lin Qiye jumped down without hesitation.
The crowd followed closely behind, plummeting to the bottom of the abyss.
As I fell, the surrounding darkness gradually thickened, as if I were falling into the stomach of some living creature.
Bottom of the abyss.
The moment the black lines entangled, the entire space suddenly distorted!
"boom--!!!"
A blinding white light poured down like a torrent, instantly dispelling the darkness of the abyss.
Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain instinctively contracted, and the Black Box Straight Blade blocked in front of him, its blade scorching wisps of black smoke in the white light.
"What's going on?!" Baili Pangpang covered his eyes, tears welling up between his fingers. "Where did this light come from?!"
Anqingyu's detectors flashed wildly: "The spacetime distortion coefficient has surged! We've been pulled into some kind of realm!"
In the white light, ashes fell like a blizzard, each flake shimmering with eerie runes, and when they touched the skin, they caused a stinging pain like being pricked by needles!
Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame ignited on his body, burning away all the ashes: "This is no ordinary light... it's 'divine punishment'!"
As the ashes scattered, everyone finally saw the source of the light—
A six-winged angel, tens of meters tall, stood at the bottom of the abyss. His wings were as white as snow, yet stained with dried golden blood. His face was as handsome as a sculpture, his eyes were closed, and he held a broken holy sword, its blade deeply embedded in the ground.
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted: "...Uriel?!"
Seraphim Uriel—one of the seven supreme angels of heaven, in charge of "judgment" and "purification," who fell in the war of the gods long ago!
Baili Pangpang's voice trembled: "Wasn't he dead?! How could he..."
An Qingyu's mechanical arm scanned the angel's body: "No vital signs... It's a corpse! But Ash is controlling it!"
As if to confirm his words, Uriel's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he slowly opened them—
"Click——!!!"
The instant the eyelids split open, countless tiny black insects poured out of the eye sockets. They wriggled and coalesced wildly, eventually transforming into two scarlet eyeballs!
"Cough cough cough... thump thump thump... squeak squeak squeak..."
A strange sound was squeezed out of the angel's throat, like thousands of insects gnawing at his vocal cords.
Uriel's lips slowly parted, revealing a sinister smile that did not belong to an angel.
He raised his right hand, and ashes gathered in his palm, transforming into a jet-black cross!
A scarlet chain was wrapped around the cross, and seven heads hung from the ends of the chain.
A rotting demon;
Weeping saints;
A child laughing wildly;
There are still... four empty skulls that haven't been filled yet!
"Trial..."
The voice of the angels was no longer a sacred resonance, but the buzzing of swarms of insects flapping their wings.
"You...are...guilty..."
"Shua——!!!"
The pitch-black cross suddenly lit up, and the first demon head opened its eyes!
"The sin of pride!"
An invisible pressure crashed down like a mountain, causing Lin Qiye's knees to sink abruptly, cracking the ground!
"Kneel down." The angel's insect-like eyes flickered.
"Don't even think about it!" Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain surged upwards, and the black box straight blade slashed towards the source of the pressure!
"clang--!!!"
The blade clashed with an invisible force, sparks flying!
Baili Pangpang's electromagnetic cannons fired simultaneously: "Fatty will blast your birdman's head to smithereens!"
The shell pierced Uriel's wing, but disappeared without a trace, causing no damage whatsoever!
"Physical attacks are ineffective?!" Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame transformed into a fire dragon and pounced on the angel!
Uriel neither flinched nor dodged, and gently swung the cross—
"The sin of greed!"
The second weeping saint's head opened its eyes!
"boom--!!!"
The fire dragon was forcibly pulled out of Zhang Yun's control and pounced on the crowd!
"Watch out!" Cao Yuan slashed horizontally with his black blade, the murderous aura colliding with the fire dragon, the explosive shockwave sending debris flying!
Uriel's trial did not stop.
The third laughing child's head turned, its mouth splitting to its ears:
"The sin of gluttony!"
Suddenly, Baili Pangpang clutched his throat, his face turning ashen!
His abdomen swelled up strangely, as if countless living creatures were gnawing at his internal organs!
"Fatty!" An Qingyu's robotic arm extended a scalpel, instantly slicing open his shirt—
Beneath the skin, swarms of insects, formed from ash, are wriggling!
"High-frequency particle oscillation!" The robotic arm released a pulse, and the swarm of insects screamed as they turned to ashes!
Uriel's smile deepened, and the fourth empty skull suddenly glowed with a blood-red light:
"The sin of sloth!"
Cao Yuan's black blade suddenly became a thousand times heavier, and the muscles in his arm ruptured inch by inch!
"Ugh—!!!" He knelt on one knee, the murderous aura backfiring on him!
The fifth empty skull followed immediately:
"The sin of jealousy!"
Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon True Flame suddenly went out of control, and the dragon scales on his left arm rolled back, scorching his own flesh!
The sixth and seventh empty skulls lit up simultaneously.
"The sin of wrath! The sin of lust!"
An Qingyu's mechanical arm suddenly changed direction, and the cannon was aimed at Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain was invaded by some force, and countless illusions appeared in his mind: the image of Garan stained with blood, the scene of his comrades dying tragically...
"Seven Nights! Wake up!" Baili Pangpang's roar seemed to come from a distant place.
“This isn’t a real trial…” An Qingyu gritted her teeth and analyzed, enduring the backlash from the mechanical arm, “It’s the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ law simulated by the Ashes! We must find the core!”
Lin Qiye bit his tongue hard, the sharp pain briefly pulling him out of the illusion: "Where is the core?!"
“The cross! That unlit head!” An Qingyu pointed to the seventh empty head. “It’s still storing energy!”
"Cao Yuan! Resonate with murderous aura!" Lin Qiye roared!
"Black King - Godslayer!"
Cao Yuan's murderous aura merged with Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain, transforming into a towering black blade!
"Zhang Yun! Dragon Flame Infusion!"
Crimson gold dragon flames coiled around the black blade, burning away all the ashes along the way!
"Fatty! Electromagnetic interference!"
Baili Pangpang's electromagnetic cannon was operating at overload, blasting towards Uriel's insect eye!
"An Qingyu! Lock onto the coordinates!"
The holographic projection of the robotic arm marks the most vulnerable point of the cross—the connection between the seventh head and the chain!
"cut--!!!"
