Chapter 659: Trapped by the Azure Wood, Wrong Direction (Two in One)
As Granny Qingyu continued to adjust the formation in the sky, the entire Crimson Flame Burning Sky Grand Formation suddenly shifted.
Streams of crimson flames began transforming into chains, converging toward the heavens, each chain condensed to perfection.
Then, with a slap to the Array Plate from Granny Qingyu, those chains all shot toward the Taiqian Shark Emperors.
The speed of the chains was terrifyingly fast; without the Taiqian Mist, those Demon Emperors were utterly unable to escape.
The Shark Emperors hastily unleashed various spells, even layering them with Sword Intent.
Yet, they were all swiftly entangled, the flames pulling and tearing, directly sinking into the flesh and blood of the Taiqian Shark Emperors, roasting them relentlessly.
The Shark Emperors roared in fury, unleashing waves of Sword Intent.
Amidst the reverberating Sword Intent, they finally managed to sever the crimson flame chains.
At this moment, the Taiqian Sharks began to feel puzzled, as if Granny Qingyu had sacrificed the strength of the formation and created chains that were merely for show.
But suddenly, countless formation flags descended upon Yunyue Island.
As these formation flags were planted, the formation's colors swiftly underwent a drastic transformation.
From crimson red, it shifted to emerald green, and the Spirit Net at the base of the formation began changing significantly.
At the same time, the dozen wooden demons started positioning themselves at specific points, seemingly becoming part of the formation.
Granny Qingyu threw out her Snakehead Cane, which transformed into a Green Heaven Binding Formation.
As the grand formation emerged, magnified ancient wooden demons materialized at the edges of the void, forming a circle that trapped the True Monarchs attempting to leave.
Simultaneously, she threw out two Jade Bottles from her hands.
One Jade Bottle flew toward the Qiu Xue Sword, while the other headed for the Rakshasa Demon Child on Yunyue Island.
Merely trapping these Demon Emperors was insufficient; restoring the combat strength of the allies was crucial.
Without the Taiqian Mist, these Demon Emperors would be suppressed by the world's rules, making this the perfect moment for the Southern Sea's counterattack.
Qiu Xue Sword caught the Thousand Year Spiritual Milk and directly drank it.
Like the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk and Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk was a supreme resource for restoring True Yuan, capable of fully replenishing the True Yuan of a Nascent Soul Cultivator with just a single drop.
Granny Qingyu's decision to use the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk revealed her unwavering resolve.
The latent power of the major factions now granted the Southern Sea a fighting chance.
If they failed in this attempt, it wouldn't be hard to predict the collapse of all the sects in the Southern Sea within a short period.
When that time came, even Nan Jiang would not be spared.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Gate hadn't been operational for long, and the Taiqian Shark Tribe's blood sacrifice resources were already dwindling.
If the Southern Sea were unified, even Late Nascent Soul cultivators might be teleported over.
Once Qiu Xue Sword replenished his True Yuan, he unleashed boundless Sword Intent once more, charging at the Tricolor Demon Emperor to strike.
Among the remaining ten Shark Emperors, the Tricolor Demon Emperor's power was the most terrifying, its three-colored divine light unpredictable and elusive.
The Five Poisons True Monarch wasn't remotely the weakest among the Southern Sea's Nascent Souls, yet even he had been driven to near destruction of his Nascent Soul by the Tricolor Demon Emperor, showcasing the latter's overwhelming strength.
Two Blood Sword Lakes appeared once again in the sky.
The Tricolor Demon Emperor revealed a trace of brutality, and seeing no chance to escape, decided not to flee anymore.
Behind it, a Tricolor Sword Mountain suddenly materialized.
The Tricolor Sword Mountain consisted of three swords, towering and majestic, exuding unstoppable sword pressure.
As one sword descended, it collided with the Blood Sword, scattering countless bursts of sword light in an instant.
However, the Tricolor Sword Mountain crumbled one by one, while the Blood Sword Lake remained intact.
"If not for these cursed world rules!" the Tricolor Demon Emperor roared angrily.
It swung a sword once more, barely managing to block. Only with another sword strike from another Demon Emperor did they jointly withstand Qiu Xue Sword's attack.
This momentary delay allowed the Greenstone Demon Emperor, Rakshasa Demon Child, Golden Light True Buddha, Bone Dragon, and the Fifth Rank pinnacle Withered Tree Demon to close in once again.
With the Green Heaven Binding Formation complementing them, the Greenstone Demon Emperor unveiled its true form—a colossal Green Heaven Stone.
A radiant green light erupted, suppressing one of the Demon Emperors with a force akin to shattering all mountains.
Even the sharpest sword light could do nothing to the Greenstone Demon Emperor at this moment.
The Rakshasa Demon Child, after consuming the Essence Blood Pill, retrieved two Ghost Flags.
One was the Nine Sons Contend for Inheritance Ghost Diagram, comprising nine Fifth Rank pinnacle ghost heads, while the other was the Thousand Ghost Night Procession Diagram.
Both were unimaginably powerful, suppressing the Taiqian Demon Emperors completely.
The eerie ghost sounds echoed layer upon layer, dealing massive damage.
The Golden Light True Buddha, meanwhile, further cemented its dominance. Eighteen Buddha bodies emerged from its Buddha Beads, and its Buddha Ruler, akin to an adjudicating Precept Ruler, descended relentlessly.
Unfortunately, the opponents' Sword Intent was unmatched; otherwise, it might have been possible to slay one or two.
The Bone Dragon and Withered Tree Demon appeared somewhat outmatched.
Nonetheless, they held steady, knowing that stalling was tantamount to victory.
From below, Lin Shiming watched as the Green Heaven Binding Formation sealed the area; his eyes lit up with joy.
The time had come for him to shine.
His figure began to vanish, and he retrieved the Leaping Void Disk. Simultaneously, a Star Pearl appeared in his hand, his body cloaked in a starry battle robe, wielding the Starlight Ancient Spear.
Behind him, the Taiyi Sword followed automatically.
At the same time, the Sword Storing Book continuously pulled his opponents, suppressing them relentlessly.
A Golden Core Late Stage Taiqian Shark Emperor failed to react in time.
All it knew was that Lin Shiming had already closed in on it.
A massive fist struck down, shattering even the toughest sword fin of the Taiqian Shark Emperor, sending a mist of blood into the air.
The Starlight Ancient Spear pierced the Shark Emperor's body directly.
However, it wasn't fatal, as the terrifying Sword Intent came slashing toward Lin Shiming.
