546. The Great Battle Ends
At its current speed, it's only a matter of time before the mysterious black flames completely engulf Ling Zhuo. The black flames move with the battle qi and require no human reaction time; their speed is almost equal to Ling Zhuo's when he's using all his movement techniques and battle skills.
Just before the black flames were about to catch up, Ling Zhuo's energy erupted once more, and the spatial power that had trapped Wei Jiangyuan reappeared.
"Air ban!"
Dim specks of light emerged from the air, and then, driven by this energy, space itself instantly began to distort strangely. This distortion was not the kind of spatial manipulation ability possessed by a Dou Zun powerhouse, but rather a genuine imprisonment of this space in a way unique to the Spirit Race.
Therefore, the name "Air Forbidden Zone" they came up with was very appropriate. The invincible Black Flame was finally brought under control, and Ling Zhuo also gained a rare chance to catch his breath.
Trapped, Black Flame's anthropomorphic face revealed a hint of annoyance. Before Ling Zhuo could continue to exert control, the black flames surged fiercely, accompanied by a cracking sound. The giant face of Black Flame slammed against the misaligned space wall, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound, and a continuous surge of devouring power.
Although the black flames are not yet capable of completely engulfing this space, they are not incapable of devouring the strange spatial restriction energy of the Spirit Race in front of them.
The black flames conjured Xiao Yan's face into a mocking, anthropomorphic grin, as the flames coalesced into dozens of ouroboros, gnawing at spatial nodes. Ling Zhuo's pupils contracted—the points where those fire snakes tore were precisely the most vulnerable energy convergence points of the spatial restriction.
Ling Zhuo rushed to the edge of the battle where Wei Jiangyuan and the others were, shouting to everyone, "Run!"
Before they could react, a crisp shattering sound rang out. The air barrier that Ling Zhuo had just set up had been pierced by the black flames, which then charged towards them again. Looking at the ghostly black flames, a sense of powerlessness slowly rose in Ling Zhuo's heart, followed by a thought of survival that appeared in his mind.
Abandon Lingyu.
Ling Yu was severely injured by Wei Jiangyuan's lightning-fast attack during the breakout and is still unconscious. She only survived because of Wei Jiangyuan's protection. Logically, his duties as the young master are almost complete; continuing to carry Ling Yu would only be a burden. The others are still fully capable of fighting, and their competitiveness in the Pill Gathering remains intact if they continue.
Ling Zhuo was very clear about the information about the Pill Realm. There was a third Mist Mountain in the Pill Realm. His defeat today was irreversible, but as long as he maintained his competitiveness, his chances of winning the final Pill Tournament were still quite good.
Ling Zhuo was completely willing to use any means necessary to win the Pill Gathering championship, and he was indifferent to everyone else. As long as it didn't affect the overall situation of the Pill Gathering, he wouldn't care if Cao Ying and Dan Chen and their ilk were all dead.
But Lingluo and Lingyu are true members of the Ling Clan, not just people given a surname. Moreover, they have been following Lingzhuo's instructions all the way. Now that he wants to abandon Lingyu, his pride as a member of the Ling Clan is subconsciously preventing him from doing so.
Once the crazy thought appeared in Ling Zhuo's mind, it couldn't be erased. The two thoughts kept assaulting his reason, and he didn't even notice the black flames getting closer.
As Ling Zhuo was lost in thought, the black flames had already obscured everything. Ling Zhuo was so shocked by the scene that he trembled all over. Finally, he raised the hand that was holding Ling Yu with a little restraint.
"Young Master!" Ling Luo's roar shattered all of Ling Zhuo's thoughts. As the person Ling Haonan had specially sent to assist Ling Zhuo, he seemed to have keenly noticed something from Ling Zhuo's actions.
At this moment, Ling Luo's eyes were bloodshot. He slammed his palms into his chest, and his soul and battle qi erupted like a volcano. A terrifying energy surged from his body. Ling Luo's battle qi had been almost completely depleted by Wei Jiangyuan's methods, but now a powerful battle qi, even stronger than battle qi, surged forth from within Ling Luo's body.
However, the fighting spirit surrounding him had already turned blood-red.
The space trembled violently due to the spiritual fall, and dim spots of light appeared in the air. The next moment, the spots of light became extremely bright and then completely enveloped the charging black flames. At this moment, the once invincible black flames were completely unable to move.
Ling Zhuo was also surprised to see Ling Luo beside him. As a prodigy of the Ling Clan, he naturally knew what Ling Luo was doing at this moment.
The most core combat force unique to the Spirit Race, the Spirit Guard's life-or-death skill - Soul Sacrifice and Sky Control!
Even though using this ability would instantly expand one's soul power and grant the ability to control space far surpassing that of a Dou Zun, the Dou Zun level strength could only be maintained for a few breaths. Furthermore, after using this skill, regardless of who one is or what bloodline one possesses, certain death is inevitable, with both body and soul annihilated!
"Young Master, I am powerless. I can only do my best to stop these people for you." Lingluo's voice was full of sorrow, but when she looked at Lingyu, there was only calmness and determination in her eyes: "I only beg you to give Lingyu a way to live."
"Okay..." Ling Zhuo's voice also lowered, and at this moment, the young master of the Spirit Clan was filled with mixed feelings.
Lingluo's only attachment at this moment had been removed, and as her life rapidly faded away, she felt a sense of lightness in her heart.
The black flames were firmly sealed off by him, and he used his spatial power to pull Ling Zhuo, Ling Yu, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Yi Xu through in turn.
Then, with a flash of light, the spatial rift opened instantly and closed just as quickly, and Ling Zhuo and his group were sent away.
The Danhui Space cannot be broken open by external force except through the Space Stone, since the creator of this space is a Dou Sheng powerhouse from the Danhui.
Ling Luo accomplished all of this with his five-star Dou Zun strength! After seeing Ling Zhuo and his group safely retreat, Ling Luo closed his eyes. His body was already swaying precariously, on the verge of collapse. In the end, Ling Luo released a powerful soul force, sending the now-defunct Wei Jiangyuan flying through the air.
It was because of Wei Jiangyuan that his younger brother was seriously injured, so he was now responding in his own way. With the attack over, Lingluo had no time to care about Wei Jiangyuan's life or death; he was completely exhausted.
This is the aftereffect of gaining immense power in a short period of time, but fortunately, he has already accomplished everything he wanted to do.
After Linglu withdrew her power, the black flames completely broke through the spatial barrier and emerged. Facing the person who had given away all her food, the black flames mercilessly devoured her in one gulp. Having lost all her power, Linglu was unable to resist and could only stand there, allowing her body to be consumed by the black flames.
