Chapter 205: The Terrifying Demonic Creature Appears Again
After learning that the System was about to summon a new powerhouse, Ogedei's confidence instantly soared.
With a flash of his figure, he once again appeared before Lu Xueqi and the others.
Looking at Lu Xueqi, he said with a sinister expression,
“Damned woman, I admit that you're indeed powerful, but you're still not qualified to kill me!”
At this moment, however, Lu Xueqi paid no attention to Ogedei at all.
Instead, her eyes remained fixed on the ground below.
The rumbling beneath the earth grew even louder.
Under the horrified gazes of Lu Xueqi and the others, the ground within several Li began to collapse.
Soon afterward, the entire area surrounding Xiangyang City shattered and caved in.
Within the enormous crater beneath the earth, a gigantic blood-colored sphere of light was continuously surging.
From within the blood-colored sphere came rhythmic sounds resembling the beating of a heart.
At the same time, without Ogedei noticing in the slightest, a crimson-gray radiance quietly flew out from his body before rapidly plunging into the blood-colored sphere below.
After the dim sphere merged into the blood-colored sphere, the energy within it suddenly became violently agitated before continuously compressing inward.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi's expression changed slightly.
She knew that the sphere was very likely about to give birth to a terrifying demonic creature.
Without delay, Lu Xueqi immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Ling Qingzhu.
“Miss Ling, please hold Ogedei back. I'll go down first and destroy that blood-colored sphere.”
After hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Ling Qingzhu immediately nodded.
“Leave it to me!”
Then she suddenly waved her right hand, and a longsword appeared in her grasp.
Although she was extremely wary of Ogedei's strength, delaying him for a while should not be a problem.
Meanwhile, Xiong Ba, Xiaolongnü, Lu Yu, and the others had already escorted Guo Jing and the others to a safe location before immediately flying back to provide assistance.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi looked toward the blood-colored sphere below.
Stepping according to the Seven Stars, she formed hand seals and chanted,
“Nine Heavens Profound Realm, transform into divine lightning. Mighty heavenly might, with this sword I summon thee!”
In an instant, dark clouds covered a radius of several hundred Li as terrifying lightning flashed endlessly through the heavens.
It was as though the heavens themselves had become enraged, with world-destroying lightning about to descend.
Yet Lu Xueqi still was not satisfied.
She knew that the demonic creature beneath the crater possessed extraordinary strength.
Finally, she formed another hand seal with both hands, integrating the power of the All-Heavens Divine Thunder into the lightning.
The originally silver-white lightning instantly transformed into golden thunder dragons that rapidly gathered toward the Tianyao Divine Sword in Lu Xueqi's hand.
After absorbing the countless strands of golden lightning, the Tianyao Divine Sword began to emit a pale golden radiance as wave after wave of terrifying energy spread outward.
Watching the pitch-black sky above, along with the terrifying energy emitted by the countless converging strands of golden lightning, Ogedei, Ling Qingzhu, and the others all experienced drastic changes in expression.
At this moment, Ogedei felt incomparably insignificant.
He knew that if this woman had unleashed this technique from the very beginning, he would most likely have already been completely annihilated.
However, realizing it now was not too late.
His figure flashed as he rapidly fled the area, intending to leave the battlefield to the powerhouse below that was about to emerge from the cocoon.
Ogedei had already realized that the blood-colored sphere below was the sign that the supreme powerhouse summoned by the System was about to be born.
After seeing Ogedei flee, Ling Qingzhu, Xiong Ba, and the others exchanged glances before immediately giving chase.
They also understood that they could no longer assist Lu Xueqi.
Remaining here would serve no purpose whatsoever.
Instead, they intended to join forces and eliminate this relatively weaker demonic creature first.
Although Lu Xueqi had already severely wounded the creature and depleted most of its energy, the aura emanating from it still caused Xiong Ba and the others to feel a chill run through their hearts.
They knew that this demonic creature possessed the power to threaten their lives.
However, now that they had accepted the mission, none of them intended to retreat.
Moreover, with so many of them working together, they should be able to hold it back.
Once Lu Xueqi finished dealing with the terrifying blood-colored sphere below and came to reinforce them, the demonic creature would have no chance of resisting them.
Thinking of this, they relaxed slightly.
As more and more golden lightning gathered above Lu Xueqi, increasingly terrifying power spread outward.
The blood-colored sphere below seemed to sense the impending danger.
It shot directly out of the crater.
In the next instant, it blasted toward Lu Xueqi.
Looking at the blood-colored sphere hurtling toward her, Lu Xueqi remained completely calm, continuing to gather the power of lightning without pause.
However, when the blood-colored sphere came within a dozen Zhang of Lu Xueqi, it struck a gigantic energy barrier with a heavy “Thud.”
This was the unique protective barrier of the Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art.
The barrier was extraordinarily resilient.
Without overwhelmingly powerful force, breaking through it would be virtually impossible.
After being blocked by Lu Xueqi's protective barrier, the blood-colored sphere let out a shrill screech.
It then retreated once more before transforming into a sphere of light and charging forward again.
Sensing the terrifying power of the blood-colored sphere's second assault, Lu Xueqi knew that her protective barrier would no longer be able to withstand the next strike.
Without further hesitation, she gripped the Tianyao Divine Sword with both hands and shouted,
“Slash!”
In an instant, a golden sword radiance stretching from heaven to earth appeared, slashing down toward the blood-colored sphere below.
At that moment, the blood-colored sphere also sensed the enormous threat.
Countless blood-colored arms emerged from its surface like heaven-supporting pillars.
They surged toward Lu Xueqi's terrifying sword radiance in an attempt to intercept it.
Thunderous explosions echoed continuously as Lu Xueqi's sword radiance shattered one blood-colored arm after another without losing any momentum, continuing its advance toward the blood-colored sphere.
When the blood-colored sphere realized that its blood-colored arms could no longer stop the attack, it suddenly trembled violently.
Immediately afterward, a blood-colored energy barrier almost identical to the one that had previously surrounded Ogedei appeared around it.
However, this barrier was several times more powerful than Ogedei's had ever been.
Under Lu Xueqi's slightly tense gaze, her golden sword radiance struck the blood-colored energy barrier with a “Pfft.”
Continuous thunderous explosions and tearing sounds echoed through the sky as Blood-Colored Energy and Lightning Power intertwined, producing corrosive hissing noises like sulfuric acid dissolving a colossal object.
Under Lu Xueqi's tense gaze, the golden sword radiance she had unleashed finally erupted with dazzling brilliance.
Then it exploded with terrifying power, colliding with the blood-colored energy barrier in an instant.
For a moment, it was as though another golden sun had appeared in the heavens, radiating an incomparably dazzling and terrifying light.
