Chapter 3243: The Fallen Demon Tree, Out of Options, Right?
Three figures flickered, each occupying a corner, trapping Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo at the center.
"Clang!"
The three of them simultaneously revealed an object, cylindrical in shape, about a meter in length, crystal clear and lustrous, adorned with intricate ancient array patterns, exuding an air of bygone eras.
The cylindrical crystal floated in mid-air, and the three of them stood atop each cylinder, which instantly lit up with a dazzling radiance.
The light from the crystals extended and instantly interlaced, linking the three cylindrical crystals together to form a stable triangular band of light.
Cheng Tuo watched coldly as the three set up their array, and said icily, "Chaos Crystal Columns, quite the fine items indeed."
The surface of the Chaos Crystal Columns radiated a vast and ancient light, and although they were not large in size, they conveyed an aura of primitive vastness, as if they were bearing the weight of Heaven and Earth.
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, Qingluan Immortal Monarch, and Sea Burning Immortal Monarch stood atop the crystals, their auras intertwined as if they were one entity, causing Cheng Tuo to involuntarily furrow his brows.
Even though they were disciples of the Immortal Emperor, they had yet to cross that threshold. Even if Cheng Tuo was the least of saints, subduing any one of them was not a concern, but with the three joining forces and employing the Chaos Crystal Columns' Three Talents Formation, acting as one, this was truly not easy to deal with.
Dark fog roiled like the roaring depths of the ocean, spreading in all directions, with Cheng Tuo's formidable aura climbing unceasingly.
Clearly, the next strike was bound to be earth-shattering!
To defeat the three, he must break the formation!
Within the Three Talents Formation, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch stood in the Heavenly Position, a stream of seven-colored rainbow flowing out from his sleeves like water, circling around his body, the colorful rays of light reflecting Heaven and Earth; Qingluan Immortal Monarch stood in the Earthly Position, with the wings of the Azure Luan spread behind him, his eyes flashing like lightning, the Jade Flute trembling lightly, sparkling with thunder; Sea Burning Immortal Monarch stood in the Human Position, with the Nihility Flame floating before him, the Fire Lotus blossoming, several Flame Dragons coiling around his body.
Although the three had not yet made their move, their aura had already been brought to its pinnacle, and their murderous intent firmly locked onto Cheng Tuo, with the surrounding space rippling like fish scales, an invisible yet terrifying aura interweaving in the air.
Cheng Tuo's Soul-splitting Spear in his hand trembled slightly, the demon patterns on the blade flickering with a dim light.
Surrounded by the three, he showed no fear, but instead sneered, "The Three Talents Formation? Do you really think the three of you can trap me?"
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch smiled indifferently, "Cheng Tuo, although you are the Little Demon Emperor, having entered our Three Talents Formation today, do not expect to escape unscathed."
Cheng Tuo said no more, his Soul-splitting Spear suddenly flew up, the demon patterns on the blade instantly lighting up, a dark demonic light lashing out directly at Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, tearing through space wherever it passed with a piercing shriek.
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was unruffled, the seven-colored rainbow from his sleeve weaving like a spirit snake, instantly forming a seven-colored Barrier in front, which withstood the demonic light, bursting forth with blinding brilliance, almost engulfing the Immortal Monarch; however, in the next instant, the Chaos Crystal Column under Seven-colored Immortal Monarch's feet suddenly radiated countless profound and ancient symbols, absorbing the energy of the demonic light entirely.
"The Chaos Crystal Columns are indeed mysterious."
Cheng Tuo's brows knitted slightly, as a note of caution rose in his heart; he knew if the strength of his attack failed to surpass a certain threshold, then his attack energy would be absorbed by the Crystal Columns, making it difficult to cause any substantial injury to the three.
Just as Cheng Tuo pondered how to break the situation, Qingluan Immortal Monarch had already made a stealthy move. The Jade Flute played across, with a mournful melody, clouds gathered densely in the Sky, flashing with Lightning. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder condensed into a massive Thunder Dragon, roaring as it rushed toward Cheng Tuo, who was situated at the center of the Three Talents Formation.
Cheng Tuo swept his Soul-splitting Spear horizontally, and a streak of Demonic Qi transformed into a dragon, charging towards Qingluan Immortal Monarch. At the same time, a black Turtle Shell was summoned by him, placed above himself to withstand the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder falling from the sky.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch flapped her wings, and countless Lightning bolts surged forth, striking the dragon formed from the Demonic Qi. However, the momentum of the dragon of Demonic Qi was unexpectedly ferocious, instantly shattering all the Lightning, and at the same time, the Chaos Crystal Column beneath Qingluan Immortal Monarch's feet once again emitted vast ancient light, absorbing most of the energy of the dragon of Demonic Qi.
Even though Qingluan Immortal Monarch was subjected to a strong impact, she was not severely injured.
Seeing this, Sea Burning Immortal Monarch's Fire Lotus in front of her suddenly bloomed, and nine Flame Dragons flew out from within the Fire Lotus, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on Cheng Tuo.
"Let's attack together!"
The Seven-colored Rainbow, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and Nihility Flame struck at Cheng Tuo simultaneously. The power of the Three Talents Formation was displayed to its fullest at this moment, with the augmented strength of their attacks making them exponentially more powerful.
Despite his strength, Cheng Tuo had difficulty unleashing his full Strength under the suppression of the Three Talents Formation. Moreover, he had to guard against the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch's Seven-colored Rainbow, unable to fully exert the power of his Soul-splitting Spear, and he did not even dare to let it stray too far from his body, giving him a feeling of being restrained.
The Seven-colored Rainbow erodes Magical Treasures, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder bombards Demonic Qi, and the Nihility Flame burns all things. Under the united strength of the three, Cheng Tuo's defense seemed stretched thin.
"Indeed, the three great disciples of the Immortal Emperor have some skills, but... this is not enough!"
Cheng Tuo sneered coldly, once again summoning a small tree.
The small tree floated in front of him, enshrouded in endless black mist, growing wildly. It appeared similar to a banana tree with broad and thick massive leaves. The leaves extended crazily as if imbued with life, rushing toward the three.
The Seven-colored Rainbow appeared, precisely hitting the floating and extending leaves, but to everyone's surprise, the leaves continued to extend without being immobilized by the Seven-colored Rainbow.
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch's face changed slightly. His Seven-colored Rainbow could immobilize countless Magical Treasures in the world, but why couldn't it stop this rapidly growing tree?
Cheng Tuo laughed heartily: "Your Seven-colored Rainbow can immobilize thousands of Magical Treasures, but this Fallen Demon Tree of mine is a living demon tree. If you say it's a Magical Treasure, it could be considered one, and if you say it's not, it could also not be considered one. Haha, your Seven-colored Rainbow is useless now, isn't it?"
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, silent, continued to drive the rainbow, forcibly intercepting the expanding tree.
If it couldn't be immobilized, then so be it. He would fight with brute force.
His fame indeed came from the special ability of the Seven-colored Rainbow, but that didn't mean his Combat Power wasn't strong!
Radiance of the rainbow, lightning, and fire filled the Sky Dome.
The Fallen Demon Tree covered the sky and the sun.
Cheng Tuo, who was originally at a disadvantage, once again gained the upper hand, but this advantage was not obvious, because his attacks were always dispersed by the Chaos Crystal Column, preventing him from truly dealing heavy injuries to the three.
In the midst of the intense battle, Cheng Tuo suddenly turned his head, a look of surprise on his face.
Cheng Tuo rose to the sky, sneering, "Today you're lucky. I'm done playing with you... Retreat!"
The Fallen Demon Tree suddenly directed its full strength towards the blockading Seven-colored Immortal Monarch. The Seven-colored Rainbow could not immobilize the tree leaves that lashed like demonic tentacles, and they were blasted away by the fierce Strength, diverting them from their original position in the Three Talents Formation, causing a slight crack to form in the Array Formation.
