Chapter 772: Chapter 772
A plump woman in a pink dress formed a spell with her hands, and thick green vines drilled out of the ground, quickly weaving together.
The green walls that these vines formed were shattered by the red fire spears with ease, but more green vines sprouted from the ground, creating wall after wall, relentlessly appearing.
The Hua Clan cultivator, proficient in wood-based divine abilities, was very difficult to deal with.
The sea churned and surged, lifting wave upon wave, as a blue giant thousands of feet tall emerged from within the waves, its features blurry, a manifestation of mana.
It swung its fists, smashing towards the Yellow Giant Ape.
The Yellow Giant Ape threw a punch, and a golden giant fist flashed out to meet it.
The Yellow Giant Fist smashed into the blue giant’s body, which instantly exploded, splashing sea water everywhere.
A blue talisman glittered without warning and shot out, appearing instantly in front of the Yellow Giant Ape.
The blue talisman was covered with mysterious runes, and the spiritual energy was astonishing.
"Not good, dodge quickly!"
Chu Buyu’s countenance changed drastically as she cried out in alarm.
No sooner had her voice fallen than the blue talisman burst apart, a huge blue light soared into the sky, enveloping a hundred miles.
As the blue light dispersed, the Yellow Giant Ape, Chu Buyu, and the Iron Tail Scorpion were motionless, as if frozen in place.
The man in the golden robe raised his right hand, throwing out a small tower that shimmered with golden light. It grew instantly and sped towards the opposition.
Seeing this scene, Li Dong inwardly cursed, about to step in and help when a void fluctuation appeared above his head, and a huge bloody hand flashed out, slapping towards Li Dong.
Li Dong reacted quickly, his right hand shining with yellow light as he struck out with a palm, shattering the bloody hand.
The man in the blood-red robe with the human-shaped phantom above his head opened his mouth and sprayed out a bloody glow, enveloping Li Dong.
Li Dong’s figure retreated, while also striking out with a palm. A yellow giant palm flashed out to meet the attack.
The Wind Flood Dragon’s body shone brightly with blue light, attempting to support Shen Long.
Thousands of thick silver lightning bolts shot out, striking towards the Wind Flood Dragon.
The Wind Flood Dragon didn’t dare to be careless. It howled to the sky and exhaled a blue sonic wave, meeting the assault head-on.
The blue sonic wave shattered the incoming silver lightning bolts, but the delay allowed the Golden Giant Tower to reach the top of Chu Buyu and the Yellow Giant Ape, unleashing a blue glow that enveloped them below.
Chu Buyu, the Yellow Giant Ape, the Iron Tail Scorpion, and the Five-Tailed Spiritual Fox were motionless, encapsulated by the blue radiance and pulled into the Golden Giant Tower.
Seeing this, Bian Hai showed an expression of delight.
"Something’s not right! How could it be so easy to succeed?"
The man in the golden robe frowned deeply.
A deafening thunderous noise came from the sky as a thick silver lightning column tore through the heavens, heading straight for the man in the golden robe.
The man in the golden robe’s face changed, and he formed a spell, the human-shaped phantom above his head throwing out a punch.
Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, a golden giant fist flashed out, smashing the silver lightning column to pieces.
A harsh sonic boom sounded, and a golden arrow covered in golden electric arcs flew towards him.
The man in the golden robe quickly swung a golden staff, meeting the attack head-on.
With a "clang," the golden arrow was repelled.
A crimson light flared up in the void behind the man in the golden robe, and Shen Long appeared, with a pair of wings on his back, constantly circulating with red light.
His hands were fitted with golden gauntlets, the surface of which showed golden scales; these were a medium-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Sly Gauntlets, acquired from an enemy.
The Golden Sly Gauntlets shone with a blinding golden light as Shen Long launched a punch, smashing into the man in the golden robe’s head.
After consuming a Heavenly Dragon Fruit, Shen Long’s physical strength had greatly increased. Coupled with the amplification from the Golden Sly Gauntlets, he directly smashed the man in the golden robe’s head, with brain and blood splattering.
The corpse shone with a blinding golden light, transforming into a piece of bamboo that circulated endlessly with golden radiance, a tribulation-substituting treasure.
With a "snap," the golden bamboo shattered.
Above Shen Long’s head, the void fluctuated, and a large blue hand appeared out of thin air, slapping down towards him.
At the same time, five mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures with ceaseless spiritual light flew toward him.
Shen Long threw a punch and shattered the blue hand, while the red wings on his back fluttered lightly, and he disappeared in a streak of red firelight.
A golden light lit up a hundred miles away in the void, revealing the figure of a man in a golden robe; his gaze was somber.
"Puppet Shadow Talisman! No wonder we didn’t notice."
The man in the golden robe said with a dark expression.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu had used the Puppet Shadow Talisman to create two false bodies, deceiving them.
"His Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects too! Are they also Puppet Shadow Talismans?"
Bian Hai spoke, disbelief in his voice.
"No, it’s just an illusion technique! We were focused on their bodies and didn’t discern the true from the false. What a formidable illusion technique."
The man in the golden robe frowned and said.
With his Hollow Phasing Late Stage cultivation, if he had paid more attention, he would certainly have seen through the deception, but their attention had been fixed on Shen Long and Chu Buyyu.
In a certain part of the void, a green light shone, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu appeared, with a Five-Tailed Spiritual Fox by their side.
"To cast an illusion right before us, undetected, is truly worthy of a sixth-rank Spiritual Fox with the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox. You’ve deceived us once, do you think you can deceive us a second time?"
The man in the golden robe sneered.
Bian Hai brought out a gourd swirling with blue light and infused it with a spell. The blue gourd emitted a blinding blue light and spewed out a large amount of blue water.
This blue water churned and transformed into a colossal blue Water Dragon, lunging at the opposition.
Chu Buyu slapped his right hand towards the void, and numerous red fireballs appeared out of nowhere, continuously striking the blue Water Dragon.
An astonishing scene unfolded, the red fireballs dissipated as if encountering their nemesis.
A look of surprise flashed in Chu Buyu’s eyes.
Heavy water was a special material for artifact refining, incredibly dense, and ordinary flames couldn’t affect it.
Shen Long punched out, and a fist shining with spiritual light flashed, striking the blue Water Dragon with a thud, but the Water Dragon remained unscathed.
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, and a corpulent, grey-robed old man appeared behind Shen Long and Chu Buyu without warning. The old man’s physique was larger than that of a Human Cultivator, with dark green eyes and a sky-high aura of Yin Qi.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu noticed the grey-robed old man and were about to make a move when an extremely shrill ghostly wail sounded.
Upon hearing this sound, they immediately felt a sense of weakness.
The grey-robed old man raised his right hand, and a black bead swirling with light shot out, rapidly expanding and emitting a black halo that enveloped Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and the Five-Tailed Spiritual Fox, dragging them into the black sphere.
"Come with me. We’ll slaughter them together. Trapped inside the Thousand Ghosts Pearl, even with tribulation-substituting treasures, they won’t be able to escape."
The grey-robed old man said sternly, his face full of killing intent.
The Bloodvine Clan Cultivator had prepared two plans. If the first strike failed, they had a backup.
The Thousand Ghosts Pearl was a low-grade Cave Heaven Treasure with its own space, having raised a multitude of ghost creatures. Fighting inside the Thousand Ghosts Pearl, he had a great advantage.
Even if Shen Long and Chu Buyu had tribulation-substituting treasures, they couldn’t escape the Thousand Ghosts Pearl unless they eliminated all the enemies.
The man in the golden robe and the other four followed the grey-robed old man into the Thousand Ghosts Pearl, intending to join hands to kill Shen Long.
