《The Heavens Shall Fall》Chapter 65: Activate!
Advertisement
The giant crystal leaf then slowly cracked, hundreds of fissures appeared on the surface of the leaf as it quickly became innumerable. Then without pause, the giant Crystal Leaf shattered, exploding into millions of pieces which drifted in the air and poured down to the disciples fighting for their sect. Shockingly, the energy of the disciples quickly increased and their wounds healed! It was as if they were back to their previous state before the war. All of the Crystal Leaf Disciples were elated with their recovery and simultaneously roared then aggressively attacked their opponents. The fight quickly turned in the favor of Crystal Leaf Sect. One giant Crystal Leaf caused a drastic change on the battleground. The two enemy group leader had a strange gleam in their eyes as they also did some bizarre incantation. In the Black Spider Guild, thousands of spirit poison suddenly came from the peak of the mountain. Each spirit poison was randomly targeting anyone who was not a member of the guild. The people who were touched by the spirit poison quickly lost their ability to fight as different poison affected each one of them. Many people screamed in terror and ran for their lives, however, some were also able to dispel the poison and continue the fighting. The battleground started to quickly became chaotic again. However before the fighting becomes even more severe, the Crystal Leaf Sect Leader calmly said "Crush another leaf." When everyone saw a second leaf shattering, their eyes went wide as the remains of the crystal leaf flew to the clouds creating a crackling sound. The sound spread far and wide covering the entire battleground as the clouds became dark. Thunder resounded everywhere as numerous lightning strike randomly hit anyone against the Crystal Leaf Sect. Anyone hit by the lightning was immediately reduced to ashes or some who luckily survived was easily killed by another person on the battleground. "So the Crystal Leaf Sect wants to end this huh?" A man extruding extremely strong aura, almost at the same level as Ji Chanming said at the side of the Golden Phoenix Order. He then shouted "Activate first attribute of the Phoenix Totem!" "Yes Patriarch!" Many seekers shouted. Rumbling sound sound filled the air which almost silenced the lightning strikes. The totem grew extremely bright as the eyes carved on it suddenly opened. The phoenix like eyes looked at everyone as if it wanted to burn everyone to ashes. Also, the totem suddenly burst into flames, creating a gigantic tower of flame. Suddenly, the temperature of the whole place went extremely high, and ball of flames descended to the sky! Each ball of flame descended destroying everything it landed on. With the Phoenix Totem Activated, balls of flame, and lightning now filled the sky. Below, thousands of poison spirit roamed around randomly hitting anyone. It looked like as if the world was about to end. Everyone trembled, there was nowhere to go but press forward and hope to win. Realizing that the war was reaching a critical point, the Golden Phoenix Order Patriarch again shouted in a stronger tone "Activate the second attribute!" The whole battlefield was suddenly filled with a red hue from the totem, everyone's vision became red as the members of the Golden Phoenix Order roared as if they were going into a rampage. All of their skills suddenly became more powerful, the previously weakened members also experienced the same boost in strength as they got back on their feet and continued to slaughter their enemies. "Seems like everyone is prepared to fully use their hidden cards." The leader of the Yu group said while protecting the remaining shield of the guild. He glanced around observing everything then gave a soft sigh, as he waved his hands in an extremely slow fashion. However, as opposed to the slow movement of his hands, the lands quaked making many random portion on the land open up small rifts which swallowed up enemies of the guild. Even on the sky the rifts randomly opened up whenever a seeker get near it. Also, it seemed like all of these rifts were prepared beforehand by countless seekers working together, everyone in the Black Spider Guild seem to know the location of the rifts allowing them to safely maneuver their way while slaughtering enemies. The Black Spider Guild might be losing in terms of the fighting power, however, these rifts and the poison spirits were killing more than what a normal seeker could accomplish, so this made the whole fight on equal terms. ... While many deaths were occurring outside, Ming Li was still inside the chamber walking towards the altar. He was sure he needed to stop the thing the Black Spider Guild was doing or else it would be a total disaster. When he stepped into the edge of the symbol being maintained by the twenty five weak looking men, his face suddenly flickered when every single one of those seemingly dying men shifted their gaze towards him, and a wild expression appeared in their face. Each one of them slowly stood up as if it was extremely hard for them to even walk, but Ming Li still felt extreme sense of danger coming from these people. It was the most danger he felt in his life. When all of them stood up, Ming Li quickly backed up several steps as he tried to observe the situation. Suddenly, one of them launched from their position pouncing towards Ming Li! This time, the movement of the man wasn't haggard, it was fluid as if he regained a bit of his strength just to kill Ming Li. The man's strength exploded reaching the second level of Fusion Realm. Ming Li clearly knew that the man was stronger than what he was seeing this moment, it was just that because of sacrificing a lot of his life force in the array, his level dropped at the third level of Fusion Realm. Ming Li looked around and noticed that even though everyone stood up, they were still hesitant to attack Ming Li and was still focused on maintaining the array. With this, he felt a bit relived and waved his hands toward the attacking man creating a giant heat wave. He did not pause even for a moment, and quickly picked up his pace and ran towards the man attempting to touch him. On the other hand, the man pulled out a silver spear slashing the heat wave apart. While the heat wave was dissipating, Ming Li grabbed the spear and activated Sun's wave. The spear quickly turned red as if it was being subjected to extreme heat. Oddly, the hand of the man remained tightly clenched in the molten spear while being slowly burnt. It was as if he was not feeling any pain anymore and only wished to kill Ming Li. Ming Li felt terrified by the actions of the man, so he immediately used torment covering the spear and the man with numerous symbols. The face of the man flickered, he did not utter a single noise, but he suddenly dropped on one knee as if he was not feeling well. However, torment seemed to be not working well against the man since he quickly went back up and thrust his spear towards Ming Li. "So torment has some effect, however it wasn't as effective." With torment not being able to totally weaken the man, he held the man's hand as he said "Despair" Suddenly, the man's eyes went wide, as he screamed and released his grip on the spear then held his head with both hands. Tear's flowed in his eyes and different expressions appeared on his face, as if he was experiencing something unexplainable. Slowly, blood flowed out of his eyes, and he fell on his hands on the ground while screaming nonstop. Ming Li then grasped his hair, then said. "Sun's wave" The man's head exploded into blood and gore scattering on the ground. Ming Li then looked at the twenty four men as they stared at him unmoving. This time, three men attacked Ming Li at once with the same level as the first man. Ming Li's eyes went wide as he attacked one of them. Using "Despair", one of the three suddenly slumped to the ground screaming in weird tone. The other two did not mind their fallen companion and continued to press forward using both of their skills. A wind and lightning serpent suddenly appeared directly flying towards Ming Li. Ming Li crushed several Crystal Leaves to block the attack and bombard the two with more skills. The water and lightning serpent exploded along with the several crystal leaf attack. Furthermore, many more crystal leaf attacks appeared towards the men. They stood next together and formed a barrier to block all of the attack, but what they did not expect was that Ming Li would appear near them and attack them with "Despair" Both of them issued a miserable shriek at the same moment, and was thrown into severe suffering which caused their soul body to be twisted and disfigured. When this happened, Ming Li realized that these two were actually at the soul realm! Upon realizing this, he quickly killed the two and felt more danger in his situation. Even though he was able to kill the four who attacked them, he was disturbed by the fact that they were actually at the soul realm.
