Chapter 1523: Escape (1/2)
Fengyun’s body was twisting under the suppressive immortal rays. People could even hear his bones creaking as if his entire frame was about to be crushed.
The rest of the group glanced at each other before shouting: “Brother Fengyun, we’re coming!”
Shen Mengtian, Creek Bamboo Immortal, Stygian Monarch, and Imperial Dualchild all rushed forward with their divine weapons.
“Rumble!” They gathered all of their power together into the mightiest wave to stop the incoming rays.
Their blood energies have turned into fiery wings as well after borrowing their legions’ vitality. Due to their teamwork and the invincible weapons, they actually managed to stop the Peac.o.c.k Tree’s suppression.
They didn’t lend their a.s.sistance out of comradery, it was because they were on the same side. Their deaths would be next after Ling Fengyun falls.
“Boom!” Heaven Spirit itself had difficulty breathing under the blinding suppression of the tree. The five of them struggled to hold on; if this course continued, they wouldn’t last much longer.
“A little capable.” Li Qiye wasn’t in a hurry to end this after seeing the group manage to resist a bit longer.
Although Dualchild’s group tried their best with their divine weapons and could stop the immortal rays, they couldn’t retaliate at all. Their vitality was gradually depleting.
This was the aspect where they were much inferior to Ling Fengyun. He could last much longer due to his vigorous const.i.tution.
Even when they borrowed the blood energy of their legions, it still only belonged to a group of juniors with weaker cultivations. This only acted as a temporary form of replenishment and couldn’t let them fight a prolonged battle.
They were still safe and sound, but the group was actually suffering and turned pale. If this continued, their borrowed vitality would deplete in a short time.
Creek Bamboo hastily communicated with the others: “Brothers, we must run!”
“How?” Dualchild replied: “It’s not just the Peac.o.c.k Tree. Once we try to run, Li Qiye will seal the area!”
They knew now that Li Qiye hasn’t used his full power. This Peac.o.c.k Tree was only part of his a.r.s.enal, yet it was already enough to leave them helpless. Once they tried to run, he would use even more means to kill them.
Creek Bamboo gravely responded: “I have a backup plan from the Ancestral Terra, but I need Brother Shen’s divine reflection and your treasure, Brother Stygian.”
The two were moved after hearing this. Shen Mengtian didn’t use his reflection fully just yet while the monarch was using a different weapon and not the ancient weapon from the Spirit Abyss.
“Okay, Brother, go for it. We know what to do.” The three of them reached an agreement.
Creek Bamboo emphasized: “We must pay a heavy price to leave this place alive.”
The other two’s eyes darted at each other. They understood what this heavy price meant.
“Just do it. As long as we can live, there is still a future.” Stygian nodded solemnly.
“Boom!” Creek Bamboo’s body shot out a b.l.o.o.d.y light. A supreme law was created within just like an all-devouring vortex.
“Ahh!” Screams echoed left and right. The experts who came here with Creek Bamboo began to break down. All of their essences were devoured by him.
“Ah!” More cries of anguish came about. Both the legions from the Dream Empyrean and the Spirit Abyss collapsed into b.l.o.o.d.y mists. These essences then entered the respective leaders.
