Chapter 471
Suddenly, the natal talisman shone brightly, and in the light, a treasure lotus lantern slowly appeared. This treasure lotus lantern emitted a soft yet powerful light, and the wick burned with a faint blue flame. As soon as the treasure lotus lantern appeared, the air around it seemed to become sacred.
Fu Shaoping controlled the Lotus Lantern to fly towards the Nascent Soul Puppet. Wherever the Lotus Lantern passed, ripples appeared in the space. The Nascent Soul Puppet felt the powerful threat of the Lotus Lantern and tried to dodge. But the Lotus Lantern seemed to have its own consciousness and locked onto the Nascent Soul Puppet tightly.
When the Lotus Lantern approached the Nascent Soul Puppet, the flame at the wick suddenly surged and turned into a huge flame column, enveloping the Nascent Soul Puppet. The Nascent Soul Puppet struggled in the flames, using all kinds of magical powers to resist, but the flame of the Lotus Lantern burned more and more vigorously.
Under the burning flames, the spiritual power of the Yuanying puppet was gradually consumed. Cracks began to appear on its body, and spiritual power continued to leak out from those cracks. As the last spiritual power was swallowed by the flames, the Yuanying puppet let out an unwilling roar, and then with a "bang", it was completely killed by the flames of the Precious Lotus Lantern and turned into a pile of ashes floating in the air.
Fu Shaoping took back his natal spirit seal and the treasure lotus lamp, wiped the sweat from his forehead. He turned and walked towards the stone platform where the five spirit beads were placed. At this time, the light emitted by the five-colored beads seemed even more attractive, as if welcoming Fu Shaoping, the winner.
Just when Fu Shaoping was about to get the Five Spiritual Pearls, a strong spiritual power fluctuation suddenly came from outside the Pantheon. Two figures streaked across the sky like meteors and appeared in front of the Pantheon in the blink of an eye. They were True Lord Xuesha and True Lord Xuanqing. Both of them were in the state of incarnation, and the aura they exuded made the surrounding space slightly distorted.
True Lord Xuesha's blood-red robe fluttered in the wind. His face was stern, his eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light, and blood-red spiritual power surrounded him. The spiritual power seemed to be a living snake, constantly swimming around him, exuding a chilling breath. True Lord Xuanqing was dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament. His spiritual power was pure white, like the first snow in winter, giving people a peaceful and powerful feeling.
Fu Shaoping looked at the two True Lords who had reached the level of Divine Transformation with vigilance. Although he was nervous, he also had a stubborn spirit that refused to admit defeat. He clenched the sword in his hand and spoke first, "Two True Lords, these Five Spiritual Pearls are originally ownerless. I, Fu Shaoping, came here by chance, so why can't I take them away?"
True Lord Xuesha sneered, his voice as sharp as an ice knife: "Boy, do you think you can get your hands on the Five Spiritual Pearls? There are many implications behind this, how can a junior like you know it?"
Xuanqing Zhenjun frowned slightly, looked at Fu Shaoping and said, "My friend, these five spirit beads are of great importance. Don't let your greed lead you to an irretrievable situation. We have been planning here for a long time. If you leave now, it's not too late."
Fu Shaoping weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that the Five Spiritual Pearls would be of great help to him in breaking through the realm. He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Two True Lords, please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders. I, Fu Shaoping, have experienced countless hardships and obstacles on the road of cultivation. Today, I have a predestined relationship with the Five Spiritual Pearls, and I must give it a try."
When Master Xuesha heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Then don't blame me!" After that, he took the lead in launching an attack, waving his hands, and countless blood-red spiritual blades whizzed towards Fu Shaoping. These spiritual blades were extremely fast, and wherever they passed, black gaps were cut into the space, making a creepy whistling sound.
Fu Shaoping quickly used the "Flying Demon Subduing Body Protection", and a layer of light golden light appeared around his body. The blood-red spiritual blades hit the shield, splashing brilliant sparks, but the shield was also shaken slightly. Fu Shaoping was secretly shocked, the strength of this Blood Evil Master was indeed not to be underestimated.
He then quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted something. He summoned the "Twelve Thunder Swords", which flew into the air quickly under the control of his spiritual power, forming the Taiyi Sword Formation. The sword formation emitted a dazzling lightning, and with a roar, it stabbed towards the Blood Evil Master. At the same time, he sacrificed the "Daluo Vajra Seal", a huge golden seal that smashed towards the Blood Evil Master. Wherever the seal passed, the space was pressed down, with a powerful spiritual power fluctuation.
Facing Fu Shaoping's attack, True Lord Xuesha showed a disdainful smile on his face. He used his first magical power, "Blood Shadow Escape", and his body instantly turned into a blood shadow, easily avoiding the attacks of the Taiyi Sword Formation and the Daluo Diamond Seal. His voice came from the void: "Boy, you want to compete with me with just this little ability?"
Xuanqing Zhenjun stood aside, watching the battle quietly, with his hands behind his back, white spiritual power flickering at his fingertips, as if he was ready to deal with any possible changes at any time. He shook his head slightly, secretly sighing at Fu Shaoping's arrogance, but also somewhat admiring his courage.
When the Blood Evil Master appeared again, he waved his hand and a post-natal spiritual treasure, the Blood Evil Magic Banner, appeared in his hand. He shook the magic banner vigorously, and blood-red smoke poured out from the magic banner and spread towards Fu Shaoping. The smoke contained a powerful corrosive force. Wherever it went, the ground was corroded into large pits, emitting a pungent smell.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu Shaoping immediately used the "Ice Prisoner Seal". Ice-blue light shot out from his hands and collided with the blood-red smoke. The ice and blood mist intertwined with each other, making a "sizzling" sound, and the temperature around them dropped instantly. Beads of sweat appeared on Fu Shaoping's forehead, and he knew that he had to go all out.
True Lord Xuesha snorted coldly and used his second magical power, "Blood Flame Burning the Sky". He raised his hands upwards, and the blood-red spiritual power around him gathered into a sea of fire, rushing towards Fu Shaoping. The temperature of this blood flame was extremely high, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes. Wherever the flame passed, the space was distorted by the heat.
Fu Shaoping hurriedly summoned the "Star Scimitar", which turned into a silver arc of light in the air and slashed towards Xue Yan. At the same time, he once again strengthened the power of "Flying Demon Body Guard" to resist the invasion of Xue Yan. He shouted: "Blood Evil Master, although you are powerful, I, Fu Shaoping, will not surrender easily!"
True Lord Xuesha laughed loudly: "Boy, you are courting your own death."
Fu Shaoping knew that he could not just defend without attacking, he took out his natal spirit seal from his arms, chanted a spell, and the natal spirit seal emitted a strong light. He injected spiritual power into it, and the natal spirit seal turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Blood Evil Master.
True Lord Xuesha felt the threat from his natal spirit seal and used his third magical power, the "Blood Shield". A blood-red shield appeared in front of him, and his natal spirit seal hit the shield with a loud noise, and the two were in a stalemate.
At this time, Fu Shaoping suddenly summoned the Heavenly Dragon God from the Underworld Temple for assistance. As soon as the Heavenly Dragon God appeared, he let out a roar that shook the sky, and the sound seemed to penetrate the soul. It was huge, emitting a sacred light, and looked down at the Blood Evil Master majestically.
When Xuanqing Zhenjun saw the appearance of Tianlong Shen, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect Fu Shaoping to have such a method. He took a step forward, as if he wanted to stop the battle from getting worse, but hesitated and stood still.
The Dragon God blew a breath of dragon towards the Blood Evil Master, which contained a powerful force from the underworld. The Blood Evil Master was unable to dodge and was hit by the dragon's breath. His body was shaken and flew backwards. After he stabilized himself, an angry look appeared on his face.
He used the fourth magical power, "Blood Demon Clone", and instantly split into dozens of clones of Blood Demon True Lord, which surrounded Fu Shaoping and Tianlong God. Fu Shaoping commanded Tianlong God to fight alongside him. Tianlong God waved his dragon claws and smashed the clones one by one, but these clones were endless and it was too much to handle. Fu Shaoping once again used the "Twelve Thunder Swords" to disperse them and form a sword curtain around himself and Tianlong God to block the clones from approaching. He said loudly to Tianlong God: "Tianlong God, we must hold on!" Tianlong God responded with a dragon roar, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, True Lord Blood Evil used his fifth magical power, "Blood Evil Field". With him as the center, the surrounding space turned into a blood-red field. In this field, his strength was greatly enhanced. His voice echoed in the field: "Boy, you can't escape now."
Fu Shaoping felt the pressure doubled, but he did not back down. He cooperated with the Dragon God and continued to fight fiercely with the Blood Evil Master in this Blood Evil Realm.
Xuanqing Zhenjun was watching from the side, feeling somewhat worried. He shouted to Xuesha Zhenjun, "Xuesha, don't go too far. Although Fu Shaoping has offended our plan, he is not guilty of death."
True Lord Xuesha ignored True Lord Xuanqing's words and continued to attack Fu Shaoping in his domain. He manipulated the blood-red spiritual power into various sharp weapons and stabbed at Fu Shaoping and Tianlongshen.
While dodging the attacks, Fu Shaoping shouted to Xuanqing Zhenjun: "Xuanqing Zhenjun, if you can lend me a helping hand, I, Fu Shaoping, will repay you with gratitude in the future. These five spirit beads are too important to me, I cannot give them up."
Xuanqing Zhenjun shook his head and said, "My friend, I cannot go against my agreement with Xuesha Zhenjun. You should surrender as soon as possible, and I will save your life."
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and continued to fight with the Blood Evil Master. He raised his spiritual power to the extreme, and his natal spiritual seal once again emitted a strong light, which echoed with the twelve thunder swords and temporarily resisted the attack of the Blood Evil Master.
The Sky Dragon God was not to be outdone, its entire body glowed brighter, and it continuously spurted out dragon breath, trying to break through the Blood Evil Domain. However, the power of the Blood Evil Domain was too strong, and every attack was bounced back, causing some impact on Fu Shaoping and the Sky Dragon God.
Seeing Fu Shaoping's resistance, the Blood Evil Master became more and more angry. He increased the power of the Blood Evil Domain, and the entire Pantheon was shrouded in blood-red light. Some ancient runes and buildings in the Pantheon began to be affected, and some cracks appeared.
Xuanqing Zhenjun frowned, knowing that if things continued like this, the Pantheon might suffer irreparable damage. He said to Xuesha Zhenjun, "Xuesha, our goal is the Five Spiritual Pearls, not to destroy the Pantheon. Contain some of your strength."
True Lord Xuesha snorted coldly: "Xuanqing, don't meddle in other people's business. This kid must die here today."
Fu Shaoping was furious when he heard the words of the Blood Demon Master. He cast a forbidden spell regardless of the consumption of his own spiritual power, and a layer of mysterious runes appeared around his body. These runes merged with his spiritual power, and his strength instantly increased several times.
Holding the Star Scimitar, he rushed towards the Blood Demon Master. The Dragon God followed closely behind him, roaring in anger. Fu Shaoping shouted, "Blood Demon Master, today it's either you or me!"
Blood Evil Master didn't expect Fu Shaoping to have such explosive power, so he hurriedly strengthened the Blood Evil Shield. But Fu Shaoping's attack was too fierce, and the Star Scimitar chopped on the shield, and a crack appeared.
When Master Xuanqing saw this, he was shocked. He realized that if Fu Shaoping really broke through Master Xuesha's defense, the consequences would be disastrous. He finally decided to intervene.
Xuan Qing Zhenjun quickly formed seals with his hands, and a stream of white spiritual power rushed towards the Blood Evil Domain. His spiritual power collided with the power of the Blood Evil Domain, generating a huge shock wave. This shock wave shook Fu Shaoping and Blood Evil Zhenjun away for a distance.
Xuanqing Zhenjun stood in the middle, looked at Fu Shaoping and Xuesha Zhenjun and said, "Enough, this fight cannot continue. We can discuss the ownership of the Five Spiritual Pearls again."
True Lord Xuesha looked at True Lord Xuanqing angrily: "Xuanqing, what are you doing? Are you going to betray me?"
Xuanqing Zhenjun shook his head: "Xuesha, we can't ruin the overall situation because of a momentary impulse. Fu Xiaoyou also has his reasons, we can give him a chance."
Fu Shaoping panted heavily, looking at Master Xuanqing, feeling somewhat grateful for his help. He knew that without Master Xuanqing's intervention, he might not be able to hold on.
At this time, the atmosphere outside the Pantheon fell into a delicate stalemate. The Five Spiritual Pearls still emitted colorful light, quietly waiting for the final outcome of this dispute. Fu Shaoping, Blood Evil Master, and Xuanqing Master were also thinking about what to do next. Their eyes were full of complex emotions, including anger, vigilance, and a hint of confusion about the unknown.
In the Pantheon, the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to break. Fu Shaoping had just fought a thrilling battle with the Blood Evil Master, and now he was at a disadvantage, but the stubbornness in his eyes and his desire for the Five Spiritual Pearls remained unchanged.
True Lord Xuesha stood in his bloody domain, the red light was like the gaze of a demon, rendering the entire space full of murderous intent. True Lord Xuanqing stood aside, although he did not directly participate in the battle, he was also a key figure in this tense situation. (End of this chapter)
