661. Difficult Situation
When Ling Haonan’s gaze refocused on the Pill Tower Ancestor, a bloody aura stronger than ever before suddenly erupted from his body!
His already emaciated body became even thinner at a visible rate under the extreme stimulation of "blood burning," with his skin tightly wrapped around his bones, giving him a withered and dying appearance.
"Refine!" Ling Haonan poured all his power into the rune array, and raging flames burst forth. This was not a fifth-grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame, but it was one of the designs that Ling Haonan had already arranged in the rune array.
This crimson energy, containing the last essence of Ling Haonan's life, acted like the most powerful catalyst as soon as it was injected into the core of the rune array.
boom!
The accumulated battle qi within the grand formation was suddenly ignited, no longer merely an energy confinement, but transformed into a true "alchemy furnace." The battle qi flames, viscous like liquid gold, surged upwards, their temperature instantly soaring to a level sufficient to incinerate the space itself. This was not a flame in the traditional sense; it was annihilating energy generated by pure battle qi under the special catalysis of the rune array. For the Pill Tower Ancestor, formed from a combination of pure medicinal power and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it possessed a deadly corrosive and refining power.
The core area of the entire rune array instantly transformed into a true infernal sea of fire! As flames continued to pour in, terrifying high temperatures lingered within the mother array of the mother-child array.
The old ancestor of the Pill Tower absolutely did not want to let others refine him. The light of the jade flute in his hand condensed again, but suddenly six streams of energy burst out from the great formation and rushed towards him!
"cut!"
The jade flute swept out with a dazzling blue light, severing four streams of energy, but two of them withstood its first wave of impact.
Then, his hands and feet were bound, and four other streams of energy, after reforming, clung to him like maggots. They not only firmly locked his limbs, neck, and head, but also, like drills, attempted to break through his protective aura and pierce his very essence. The Pill Tower Ancestor, bound in the center of the array, shuddered violently, his delicately sculpted body trembling, and for the first time, pain and horror appeared in his pure eyes.
"Ancestor!!!"
"don't want."
"Let's fight these guys!"
This scene was clearly witnessed by Elder Lin of the Pill Tower, who was also trapped in the great formation, where the pressure from all directions had decreased but he was still unable to break free, as well as Elder Huoyun, Mu Yaoyin, and others who had just struggled to repel several bindings.
The change in the Spirit Clan's objective gave them a breather. At this moment, everyone understood one reality: the Spirit Clan absolutely could not be allowed to refine and devour the Pill Tower Ancestor; the safety of the Pill Tower Ancestor was the most important thing tonight.
The Fire Cloud Ancestor's beard and hair stood on end, and the blazing crimson flames erupted forth, eventually transforming into an incomparably condensed golden-red flame spear, its target aimed directly at the node of the most crucial energy chain binding the Pill Tower Ancestor's head.
Elder Ma Yilin continuously released soul shockwaves, attempting to disrupt the energy flow at the core of the rune array.
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was still too great. Despite everyone's best efforts to break through, the great formation remained unshaken.
A rare look of seriousness appeared on Mu Yaoyin's usually cold face as she formed hand seals, trying to help the Pill Tower Ancestor break free from his restraints...
However, the difference is undeniable. Under Ling Haonan's life-forced core refining fire, and with the constant flow of battle qi and formation operation from the five Dou Sheng-level experts, these counterattacks, though fierce, were like boulders thrown into deep water, creating huge waves but ultimately unable to shake the unfathomable ocean. After each violent collision, the rune formation could always quickly repair itself, or even become more stable, thanks to the inexhaustible and immense power.
Under Ling Haonan's control, the flames focused on the Pill Tower Ancestor. As the temperature continued to rise, the Pill Tower Ancestor's struggles became increasingly painful and weak. He felt that his human body was being constantly impacted, and he was about to lose his form and revert to his true form as a pill!
……
"Damn it, the Spirit Clan has really gone mad!" Wei Jiangyuan clutched the deep, gruesome knife wound on his ribs, the blood almost soaking half of his clothes.
After the earth-shattering events that had just occurred, Xiao Yan and his group reunited. Wei Jiangyuan's knife wounds were severe, and more importantly, he had been in the midst of intense battle, putting him under immense strain. The sudden pain caused his face to contort instantly.
No one cared whether his words contained resentment towards the Spirit Race or a venting of pain.
Yao Qingyu walked over to his side and patiently applied healing medicine to his wounds. She skillfully took out several rare and highly effective medicinal liquids and ointments from her storage ring, mixing them swiftly and steadily before applying them to stop the bleeding. Although his heart had also sunk to the bottom, his instinct to heal overcame his despair.
"What should we do?" Zi Yan asked proactively.
The number of people gathered here at this moment was quite large: Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, Huo Zhi, Zi Yan, Lei Jingxiao, Wei Jiangyuan, Yao Qingyu, Tang Zhen, Tang Huo'er, Venerable Mingshui, Kang Ning, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Mu Qingluan, and Fei Tian.
At this moment, everyone except Little Fairy Doctor was injured to varying degrees due to the fierce battle just now. However, what was more despairing than the physical exhaustion was the current situation in Saint Pill City.
The Super Rune Mother-Child Array was remarkably effective, successfully imprisoning all the experts above the Half-Saint level within the Pill Tower. The mother array, in particular, imprisoned the Pill Tower's patriarch, the Fire Cloud Patriarch, and Mu Yaoyin, three Spirit Race Battle Saint experts.
What's even more disheartening is that the Void Restriction Array, under Ling Fengzhui's leadership, has been reactivated. While the Spirit Clan's Dou Zun-level forces did suffer significant casualties in the previous war of attrition, with the addition of Ling He, a Dou Sheng powerhouse, they can regain control of the situation in an instant. Now, information leaks have been completely cut off, utterly eliminating any remaining glimmer of hope for escape or reinforcements.
At this moment, all the powerful warriors of the Spirit Clan are releasing their full power into this mother-child formation. Even the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower is being refined at this moment. The speed at which they watched was shocking. Although their strength was not up to par, they knew just by looking at the miserable state of the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower that he would definitely not be able to last for long.
It wasn't that the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower wasn't strong enough; it was simply that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
The situation in Danta is difficult now, but they are the only ones who have a chance to break this deadlock.
