Chapter 1135 Giant Shield Formation

Purple lightning, sharp and concentrated, pierces the heavens; golden light pierces armor, tearing through clouds and waves. A thunderbolt of immense force tears through day and night; a single point of cold light terrifies demons and monsters. Sudden rainstorms startle dragons, overturning the earth's axis; swift winds sweep across the fields, stirring up dust and chaos. Spear held horizontally, it points straight at the falling stars; daring to ask the heavens, who can compare to its height?

Holding a purple-gold thunder spear, Su Xiaoya arrived like a bolt of purple lightning, carrying the power to tear the sky apart, and fiercely stabbed at the beast's left eye like a dragon emerging from the sea.

The ferocious beast seemed to have anticipated this, its massive head suddenly tilting to the side. The spear grazed its scales, sending up a string of sparks, like twinkling stars in the night sky, yet it failed to penetrate the defenses in the slightest.

"Such hard scales!" Su Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat. She then flipped her wrist and swept her spear horizontally. Bolts of lightning burst from the tip of the spear, spreading like a spider web around the ferocious beast, as if to shroud it in this net of lightning.

Just then, the ferocious beast suddenly raised its thick forelimbs and, with immense force, slammed them down on Su Xiaoya like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

The palm strike, carrying chaotic mist, caused the air to explode wherever it passed, as if it were the roar of heaven and earth.

Su Mingyi arrived just then, and with a swing of his Annihilation Sword, the black power of Annihilation surged forth like a raging tide, colliding with the chaotic mist and producing a loud "boom." The air surged like a volcanic eruption or a tsunami.

Su Mingyi felt a surge of immense power, and his body involuntarily flew backward. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he almost spat out blood.

"Big brother!" Su Xiaoya cried out in alarm, her delicate body trembling. She turned to retreat, but saw the beast's other claw strike down like a mountain crushing an egg, blocking all her escape routes.

At the critical moment, a golden beam of light descended from the sky like divine thunder, striking the beast squarely in the claw's center.

The pillar of light contained a majestic and righteous aura, which, with the force of an overwhelming wave, actually forced back the ferocious beast's attack.

"Shuheng!" Su Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly at the approaching figure.

Yu Shuheng's expression was solemn, and he had no time to answer. The scroll in his hand flipped rapidly like a windmill, and golden Daoist script flew out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, transforming into golden chains that coiled around the ferocious beast like dragons emerging from the sea.

Only then did he have a moment to answer Su Xiaoya: "This beast has the origin of chaos within its body, like an impregnable fortress. Ordinary attacks are like throwing an egg against a rock, unable to harm it at all. We must first break the Dao patterns on its body!"

Su Mingyi steadied himself, his gaze fixed on the ancient patterns on the beast's scales like that of a hawk. The patterns were intricate and interwoven, resembling a natural defensive fortress, faintly connected to the chaotic energy between heaven and earth.

With a thought, the true meaning of the Great Dao of Annihilation flashed through his mind like lightning: life is born within annihilation, and annihilation is hidden within life...

"I have an idea!" Su Mingyi's eyes lit up like the brightest star in the night sky. He shouted, "Xiao Ya, use the power of thunder to guide its Dao patterns. Yu Shuheng, use your righteous energy to suppress its chaotic origin. I will find the flaws in its Dao patterns!"

The three had worked together for many years, sharing a deep understanding and acting as one.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoya thrust her spear into the ground like a dragon emerging from the sea. Purple-gold lightning surged forth like a raging dragon emerging from the ocean, spreading along the ground like a spider web to the beast's feet, and violently impacting the Dao patterns on its scales like a storm.

In an instant, the chaotic light on the beast's scales flickered violently like a volcanic eruption, as if stimulated by thunder, and began to run rapidly like a wild horse.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Shuheng immediately realized that the situation was critical!

Without hesitation, he reached out and grasped the ancient and mysterious scroll in his hand. In an instant, the scroll emitted a dazzling light, as if it contained endless power and wisdom.

As the light intensified, a powerful and righteous aura surged forth from the scrolls, quickly coalescing into enormous shields radiating brilliant golden light.

These shields, as if imbued with life, automatically arranged themselves and tightly surrounded the area, forming an impregnable fortress.

In the blink of an eye, a massive and spectacular array of shields appeared before everyone's eyes.

Each shield shone with a breathtaking brilliance, echoing each other to form an impenetrable defensive line.

Whether above or below, left or right, the entire space is tightly sealed off by these layers of shields, leaving no gaps for outside intrusion.

The ferocious beast trapped in this giant shield array felt unprecedented pressure and restraint, but it still struggled and roared desperately, trying to break through this seemingly insurmountable barrier.

However, no matter how hard it tried, those golden shields remained firmly in place, trapping it inside and leaving it nowhere to hide.

The shield was covered with ancient and mysterious runes, and rays of golden light constantly washed over the chaotic origin within the beast's body.

The ferocious beast, trapped by the giant shield array, was enraged and struggled wildly. The shield array shook violently, creaking under the strain, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Hold on!" Su Mingyi roared, his figure transforming into a black shadow as he swiftly circled the ferocious beast.

His divine sense was highly concentrated, locking onto the rapidly rotating Dao patterns, trying to find a flaw in them.

Time passed second by second, and Su Xiaoya's forehead was covered with sweat. The consumption of thunder power far exceeded her expectations.

Yu Shuheng's face grew increasingly pale, and his righteous energy was constantly being lost under the impact of the chaotic origin.

Just as the giant shield array was about to collapse, a glint of light flashed in Su Mingyi's eyes.

"Found it!" His voice boomed like a bell, deafeningly loud. His Annihilation Sword emerged from the sea like a dragon, aiming straight for a scale on the beast's neck.

The Dao patterns on that scale seemed to have been ripped out of their soul, their operation speed noticeably slower than other areas. This place was precisely the vital point of the entire Dao pattern barrier.

Su Mingyi poured all his spiritual power into the longsword. The black power of annihilation, like ink into water, condensed into a single point, carrying an overwhelming and earth-shattering force, and pierced the scale like an arrow released from a bow.

"Pfft!"

This time, the longsword cut through the scales without any resistance.

"Roar—!" The ferocious beast let out a bloodcurdling roar, and black blood gushed out from the wound on its neck like a burst dam. The blood seemed to have a life of its own, and when it fell to the ground, it corroded the hard bluestone slabs, creating bottomless pits.

The Dao pattern barrier was easily broken open like a clay chicken or a clay dog, and the ferocious beast's aura instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng were invigorated and intensified their attack like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

The power of thunder was like a thunderclap from the heavens, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, crashing down on the beast's wound with overwhelming force; while the righteous energy transformed into a giant golden sword, piercing straight into the beast's heart like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

The ferocious beast struggled like a trapped animal, desperately trying to fight back, but it was already at its last gasp, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Su Mingyi pressed his advantage, wielding the Annihilation Sword like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and streams of Annihilation power surged into the beast's body like a tide, devouring its life force and essence.

Finally, the ferocious beast let out a mournful howl of resentment, a sound that seemed to come from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine. Its massive body collapsed to the ground like a mountain crumbling, stirring up dust that billowed like thick smoke, obscuring the sky and the sun.

All three were panting heavily, slumped on the ground, breathing heavily.

Just then, the ferocious beast's corpse streaked across the sky like a meteor, transforming into a chaotic stream of light that hurtled towards the luminous white jade slip and merged into it.

The jade slip shone brightly, and the runes on it became clearer and clearer, like twinkling stars in the night sky. An even richer aura of inheritance erupted from it like a volcanic eruption.

Su Mingyi reached out and grasped the jade slip, about to examine it, but his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong. The spiritual energy in this valley... is disappearing!"

The three looked up and saw that the spiritual flowers and herbs in the valley were withering at a visible speed, like candles flickering in the wind. The milky white spiritual energy surged and receded into the depths of the valley like a flood breaking its banks, and was replaced by a chaotic aura that was even more concentrated than that of the ferocious beasts before.

The mist deep in the valley grew thicker and thicker, like a veil of ink, and faintly, a figure even larger than the previous ferocious beast could be seen, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years, slowly awakening.

The silhouette of that figure bore a striking resemblance to the legendary chaotic beast, Taotie, which was seven-tenths similar in appearance.

Su Xiaoya gripped the Thunder Spear tightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes: "It seems this is the real test..."

Yu Shuheng slowly stood up, the scroll in his hand unfurling like a dancing butterfly, and golden righteous energy rose again like the rising sun: "The path of inheritance is indeed fraught with peril."

Su Mingyi stroked the jade slip in his hand, feeling the increasingly powerful inheritance within it, but a smile as beautiful as spring flowers blooming appeared on his lips, a smile that revealed endless fighting spirit: "Then let's fight!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with a steely resolve.

From the depths of the mist, a roar even more ferocious than before, like thunder from the heavens, slowly rose and shook the entire world.
