Chapter 785: 785
The might unleashed by someone at the Half-step Divine Realm was earth-shattering, with thunder and lightning rolling in a spectacle that could shock the common world. The mere pressure and momentum released made the onlookers tremble with fear!
The Divine Skill, Boundless Illusionary Dream, cast by Elder Wulei instantly enveloped an area tens of meters in radius. Even those who were watching from a distance, though not directly enveloped, appeared dazed.
They felt as if the world before their eyes suddenly became fleeting and illusory. Those with stronger cultivation managed to quickly regain their thoughts, while the weaker ones fell into a stupor.
Under Elder Wulei's control, the seven trusted aides who were supporting from behind were unaffected.
After a slight disturbance, Lan Zihan and Feng Xiaobai quickly recovered, as the attack wasn't specifically targeted at them.
However, the Peak Masters of the Zhu Rong Lineage were not so fortunate as they were all engulfed by the illusion and found themselves frozen in place for a moment.
"Attack now, my Illusionary Realm won't control them for long!" Elder Wulei immediately ordered the seven rushing over from behind.
The power of the Illusionary Realm's Divine Skill also had its limits. Controlling three at the Half-step Divine Realm, along with a few other Peak Masters, was greatly depleting for Elder Wulei.
Upon hearing this, the seven understood immediately, unleashing their attacks to the extreme, focusing all their energy on the three at the Half-step Divine Realm, ignoring the other Peak Masters.
After casting the Illusionary Realm, Elder Wulei also swung his Spirit Sword, aiming directly at the three.
However, just as the eight unleashed their attacks, the situation in the field changed abruptly.
Wild green vines crazily entwined around the bodies of Grand Witch Canye and the other two, quickly forming a barrier around them.
Seeing this, the expressions of Elder Wulei and the others changed—this was the Endless Tide of Life cast by Dong Yanghua before being trapped.
Without a second word, the eight swung their attacks fiercely down.
"Boom~"
"Bang~"
A series of thunderous explosions echoed, with Vigorous Qi wreaking havoc, and Energy churning. The crazily growing green vines began to collapse layer by layer.
The crowd watching from afar, now awakened from the intense combat, stared dumbfounded at the spectacle unfolding before them.
Setting everything else aside, just the scene before their eyes left everyone gobsmacked.
"What... what's happening? Could the Wushen Lineage turn the tables because of Elder Wulei?" exclaimed a disciple from the Zhu Rong Lineage in astonishment!
From the current situation, Zhu Rong and the others were completely at a disadvantage. If they could take down Dong Yanghua and the other key figures, this coup for power would collapse without a fight!
Dong Tianyi and the others were also stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing. Could it be that the situation, which seemed to be in their control and unfolding like a crushing wave, was now reversed?
The previously despairing disciples of the Wushen Lineage were excited, and after a moment of feeling stunned, Wei Yuanjie also snapped back to reality.
"Hahaha, there is always a way out, Elder Wulei's divine might is unparalleled in the world!" Wei Yuanjie exclaimed in excitement.
"Hmph, I've always said that the outcome is uncertain, and the last one laughing is the true winner!" Huang Yuanwu also showed a face full of joy.
"Truly a turn of the tides, it's like finding a bright village beyond the dark willows; since ancient times, evil cannot overcome righteousness, light will eventually defeat darkness!" Gu Kaiyu said with an excited tone.
No sooner had Gu Kaiyu spoken than another startling change occurred, causing all the onlookers to widen their eyes and focus on the epicenter of the fierce battle.
Just as the green vines attacked by Elder Wulei and the others began collapsing, and it seemed that the last layer was about to fall, the vines rapidly grew back, instantaneously filling the broken spaces.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
The disciples of the Zhu Rong Lineage were astonished but overjoyed, their excitement surging, while Dong Tianyi and the rest flushed red, having just barely kept their composure from collapsing.
The people of the Wushen Lineage turned pale once more, as if falling from the clouds, disheartened and at a loss for words.
Elder Wulei's face suddenly changed, and the other seven trusted aides exchanged worried looks; they had long heard that Dong Yanghua's Divine Skills were enigmatic and difficult to contend with, and today they saw that his reputation was well deserved!
"Boom, boom..."
"Bang, bang..."
After a moment of shock, they dared not delay any further, desperately unleashing their attacks.
However, the growth and repair rate of the green vines enveloping the three were completely matching the speed of their destruction!
After several futile attempts, the attackers grew frantic.
"Damn it, how do we break this thing!" one aide said with a panicked face.
At this moment, Wulei's face was slightly pale, as the maintenance of her Divine Skills illusion was reaching its limit.
She was also anxious at heart. This was the first time she saw Dong Yanghua display the 'Endless Tidal Wave' Divine Skill, which appeared to be a deadly technique newly mastered in recent years.
"Look, all the vegetation around has withered away!" a trusted aide pointed at a swath of trees ahead and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around to look. To their shock, all the trees within a hundred meters were turning yellow.
It was as if time had abruptly entered deep autumn. The onlookers exchanged glances, dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Wulei's eyes brightened, "So that's it. By grasping the Wood Element, he turns the Life Force of the vegetation into a Defensive Barrier!
Is that why it keeps regenerating tirelessly, with infinite restoration?"
"Too bad for you, there's not enough plants here for you to absorb endlessly. Keep going!" she exclaimed.
Upon hearing her words, the seven trusted aides suddenly understood. They were now in a war of attrition, to see who could last till the end.
As long as they could exhaust the power of the vegetation before the three of them regained consciousness, they could eliminate the trio, quell the insurrection within the Witchcraft Sect, and achieve unparalleled success.
If the three managed to break free from Elder Wulei's Illusionary Realm before the barrier was breached, their grand plans would be ruined!
Wulei gritted her teeth to control the Illusionary Realm and refrained from attacking. The other seven trusted aides cooperated with unspoken understanding, recklessly unleashing their True Essence Power.
As they say, what you fear the most is bound to happen. Just after they launched an attack, a chilling voice emerged from the green vines, rolling out.
"Hmph, thinking you can trap us with this trifling Illusionary Realm, how overconfident!" Remarkably, the voice was Canye's.
"Thanks to Grand Witch Canye for breaking this Illusionary Realm, otherwise, we would really be in trouble!" Ruan Wei Mao said solemnly.
"It's nothing. Also, we were lucky to have Master Dong's 'Endless Rising Tide' protection. Otherwise, caught off guard, we would have fallen for it, how treacherous!" Canye's voice resonated.
Wulei's Art of the Illusionary Realm was also a never-before-seen trump card, and this was the first time the others encountered it, nearly making a fatal mistake.
"Hmm, you all seem to have enjoyed the attack. Now it's our turn!" Dong Yanghua's voice rang out coldly.
Upon hearing this, Wulei and the others' expressions drastically changed, and they silently cursed their misfortune.
The seven trusted aides clenched their teeth tightly, summoning their greatest strength, and desperately struck down with a sword!
At the storm's center, Dong Yanghua, feeling the attack's fluctuations, shouted angrily, "Seeking death, Flying Dragon Ruling the Sky!"
With Dong Yanghua's roar, the other two also unleashed their devastating moves, creating a surge of violent energy waves.
The seven trusted aides, feeling this terrifying energy surge, were deeply alarmed.
Wulei's face changed dramatically as well. The full-blown explosion of three Half-step Divine Realm powerhouses was not something they could contend with head-on.
They had thought to catch the opposition off guard and strike a decisive blow. But to their dismay, all their cunning plans were undone at the last moment; human plans are no match for fate, and in the end, they had failed.
"Retreat quickly, you can't withstand this!" Wulei urgently warned.
"Hmm, trying to leave? Too late!" Dong Yanghua's voice carried a cold tone.
Then, a rampaging and fearsome attack storm suddenly burst forth, enveloping the seven trusted aides.
In the next second, their faces filled with panic, the seven were directly hit by the attack of the three Half-step Divine Realm powerhouses!
"Bang, bang, bang~"
A series of muffled groans, and seven figures were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, with trails of bright red blood splattering through the air.
In the secret chamber.
Ling Fan carefully removed the last Silver Needle from Lan Xingyuan, gently advising, "You should move later, stabilize yourself first. The situation outside doesn't look good; I'll go out and take a look!"
Lan Xingyuan's closed eyes twitched slightly, but he did not open them.
He was at a critical moment and could not act rashly.
Ling Fan put away the Silver Needle, wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, his face slightly pale. Treating Lan Xingyuan's hidden ailments had taken a significant toll on him.
Immediately, he swallowed a Spirit Pill, his gaze sweeping coldly over the direction outside the secret chamber, filled with icy determination, and then he stepped towards the outside!
