Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent at this moment, and time seemed to stand still. Everyone was waiting for the outcome of this ultimate showdown...
As the blinding light gradually dissipated,
The bronze pyramid that once stood in the sea of sand has undergone a dramatic transformation, becoming a towering pillar of thunder that pierces the sky.
Above the lightning bolt, sparks flickered and crackled, sounding like the roar of an angry beast.
Wei Changxuan knelt on one knee atop the lightning pillar, the howling wind whipping past his body, his fluttering robes highlighting his boldness and resilience at that moment.
He gripped the Blood Shadow Blade tightly in his hand; its sharp blade had already pierced through the core of the Witch God Cult Leader's life force.
Crimson blood dripped slowly down the blade, leaving shocking bloodstains on the lightning pillar.
At the same time, countless coffins fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the vast, boundless sea of sand with tremendous force.
Each falling coffin created a deep crater in the sea of sand.
In an instant, the sea of sand was dotted with these pits of varying sizes, and the rising sand and dust blocked out the sun, as if the end of the world had come.
"It's not over yet..." The remaining head of the Witch God Cult Master suddenly let out a ferocious laugh amidst the chaotic scene.
The laughter was hoarse and eerie, like the cry of an owl, sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying force than before...
Like a surging tide, it burst forth wildly from the seal of the enormous sorcerer statue in the distance.
This power carries an aura of endless darkness and evil.
Wherever it went, the air seemed to be distorted and deformed, and the surrounding space began to ripple with eerie waves.
Upon witnessing this scene, Luo Yuheng's face instantly showed a look of horror, and he immediately cried out in alarm:
"He's absorbing the primordial power of the Witch God! Stop him!"
Her voice was urgent, echoing in the howling desert, filled with anxiety and worry.
Upon hearing Luo Yuheng's call, a resolute glint flashed in Wei Changxuan's eyes.
He exerted his strength suddenly, and the blade in his hand swept rapidly across the surface of the star chart, stirring up thousands of sparks.
In an instant, the desert sky seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious force.
The once azure sky instantly turned as deep as an abyss, and the reflections of the stars in the sky slowly emerged.
These stars emitted a soft and mysterious light, which contrasted sharply with the chaotic and terrifying scene below.
However, the remnant soul of the Witch God Cult Leader let out a maniacal laugh, a laugh filled with mockery and smugness:
"You think the calamity of the star eclipse is over? Look beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!"
His voice seemed to possess a certain magic, filling everyone with an ominous premonition.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuheng abruptly looked up. There, on the armillary sphere beside her,
The originally fixed 28 constellations were now spinning wildly at a speed that was dazzling.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and she cried out:
"Oh no! They're using the life core as a catalyst to trigger the calamity of Mars guarding the heart!"
Chapter 267 The Purple Star Emperor!
Before Luo Yuheng could finish speaking, high in the distance...
A huge red sun slowly rose.
What was once just a twinkling red star now resembled a gigantic blood-red sun.
The crimson starlight poured down on the earth like a surging waterfall of blood.
Wherever the crimson light reached, everything seemed to be stained with an eerie color, and the entire desert seemed to have turned into a sea of blood.
Seeing this, Jiang Fang drew her Thunder Sword without hesitation. In an instant, the Thunder Sword drew upon the power of the seven western constellations, its blade crackling with electricity and emitting a buzzing sound.
Where the sword pointed, the phantom of a white tiger slowly emerged. It roared to the sky, its voice deafening, as if it wanted to break through the oppressive sky.
"Kui Mulang, Lou Jingou, Wei Tuzhi—Three Stars Suppress Evil!" Luo Yuheng shouted, and the phantoms of the three star beasts rushed towards the surging blood-red star waterfall like lightning.
However, when they touched the crimson starlight, they seemed to be corroded by a powerful corrosive force.
A jagged gap appeared instantly, and the light of the divine beast's phantom dimmed.
In the midst of this chaotic situation, the life core of the Witch God Cult Leader suddenly changed, transforming into a blood-red Rahu star.
With the appearance of this star, the ley lines of the entire desert began to flow in reverse.
The previously orderly power of the earth's veins was instantly disrupted, and a chaotic and evil force spread throughout the desert.
The Big Dipper halo behind Wei Changxuan was also affected; its originally bright light suddenly dimmed.
The Zhou Tian Grand Array, composed of special energy, also emitted cracking sounds as if it could collapse at any moment.
"It's a counterattack from the primordial power of the Witch God!"
Luo Yuheng was extremely anxious. She bit her fingertip and quickly drew the Ziwei Yuan star on the armillary sphere.
Her movements were fluid and graceful, each stroke imbued with immense power.
"Wei Changxuan, receive the Purple Star Emperor!"
She shouted loudly, and at the same time, the inner lining of her Taoist robe slowly appeared, revealing a celestial map.
All 360 main stars on the map simultaneously shone brightly, their light like shimmering threads projecting onto Wei Changxuan.
Wei Changxuan felt the powerful stellar energy being injected, and the complete Ziwei Enclosure star map instantly appeared in his pupils.
The dragon pattern on the Blood Shadow Blade seemed to come alive, suddenly transforming into a soaring Yinglong Star Official, which circled and danced on the blade, emitting bursts of dragon roars.
Wei Changxuan stepped on the Three Enclosures and Four Symbols, each step seeming to shatter the void and stir up layers of spatial ripples.
The blade in his hand drew upon the power of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and his aura surged to its peak. He roared:
"Nine Heavens Starry Sky Technique: Purple Star Demon Slayer!"
In an instant, a powerful force erupted from him, sweeping towards the Witch God Cult Leader and the surging crimson star waterfall...
The instant the blade flashed, an ancient and mysterious power suddenly erupted.
The entire desert seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, and the phantom images of forty-nine star-gazing platforms slowly rose from beneath the yellow sand.
These observatories are ancient and solemn, adorned with intricate celestial patterns. (Wang Nuo's work)
A mysterious aura wafts over, seemingly telling ancient secrets.
At the same time, the Crimson Rahu Star was pierced through by the Yinglong Star Official, and the violent shock made the star core seem unable to bear the burden.
Immediately afterwards, millions of starlight chains erupted from the star core, like a group of light snakes breaking free from their restraints, spreading wildly in all directions.
These chains emitted a dazzling light, intertwining with the chaotic crimson light surrounding them.
This created a bizarre yet spectacular scene.
Chapter 268 Dragon Vein Contamination! The Power of the Witch God!
At this moment, the Seven Star Lamp of Fate twinkled in the sky, transforming into the handle of the Big Dipper and emitting a mysterious halo.
"The Heavenly Pivot leads the way, the Jade Light breaks through the enemy lines!"
Luo Yuheng's voice was firm and powerful.
As the incantation was recited, the seven star gates slowly opened in the void, emitting a powerful gravitational pull.
The scattered power of Rahu is continuously channeled into the Netherworld.
Luo Yuheng knew in her heart that this was a crucial step in turning the tide of the battle, and there could be no mistakes. She had to succeed, for everyone's sake and to stop this terrible disaster.
Jiang Fang was not to be outdone; she gripped the Thunder Sword tightly, the blade humming.
The azure starlight spread from the sword, transforming into a towering Jianmu tree, which pierced straight towards the Blood-Red Star 690 Waterfall.
"Thunder Sword Blade!" Jiang Fang shouted, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.
As she gazed at the surging crimson waterfall, a fighting spirit rose within her!
When the phantom of the Ziwei Emperor Star crushed the last trace of Rahu Star Power with its overwhelming aura, the life core of the Witch God Sect Master finally could not withstand it and exploded with a bang.
A flash of bright light revealed the sealed treasure of the Celestial Observatory—the Measuring Ruler.
With lightning speed, Wei Changxuan caught the ancient artifact steadily. As soon as he held it, a powerful and ancient force surged into his body.
Immediately afterwards, a complete celestial map suddenly appeared on the ruler, its mysterious patterns shimmering with a faint light.
"So that's how it is." Luo Yuheng stared at the Kunlun Ruins mark flashing at the end of the star map, his heart filled with surprise, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"The true goal of the Witch God Cult is..."
Just as she was about to voice her guess, she was interrupted by the star map covering the entire land that was suddenly projected by the measuring ruler.
In the star chart, seven star points are emitting warning red light, like pairs of vigilant eyes, foreshadowing a great crisis.
Luo Yuheng frowned, her heart filled with worry. She knew the importance of these seven star caves, and the conspiracy of the Witch God Sect was probably far more terrible than they had imagined.
Mu Nanzhi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, which was left from forcibly activating her star power. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes remained firm.
She quickly marked the directions on the star chart with a golden needle and said, "Tianxuan, Tianji, Yuheng... This is going to shake the foundation of the Big Dipper!"
Her voice betrayed her anxiety, and the stardust at her fingertips condensed into the shape of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, as if she were ready to strike at any moment.
"We must seal the seven star caves before the next eclipse, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Mu Nanzhi looked at everyone with worry in her eyes. She knew that time was of the essence, and every moment wasted increased the danger.
Wei Changxuan carefully put the Measuring Ruler into his pocket, and the Yinglong pattern on the Blood Shadow Blade seemed to be awakened, moving vividly.
“Let’s start with the nearest Jade Gate Star Cave,” he said, pointing the blade at the sea of sand.
In an instant, a bronze gnomon rose from the sea of sand, its needle pointing directly at the snow-capped mountains in the northwest.
Looking at the snow-capped mountain, Wei Changxuan felt a surge of mission.
He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers.
But no matter what, he was determined to lead everyone forward and stop the Witch God Cult's conspiracy...
"The earth's dragon energy has been corrupted!" Just then, Mu Nanzhi discovered that the underground dragon veins were completely entangled with wisps of black energy.
It was as if it were being corrupted by an evil force.
