Chapter 472
Fu Shaoping knew that his conventional magic was unlikely to compete with the Blood Demon Master. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to use the forbidden "One Year, One Withering and One Blooming" magical power. Once this magical power was used, it would burn his own lifespan in exchange for a powerful but short-lived power.
Fu Shaoping slowly closed his eyes and began to perform the magical power of "One Year of Withering and Flourishing". He was struggling in his heart, which meant that he would sacrifice his future years, but his desire for the Five Spiritual Pearls and his will to survive at this moment overcame his fear. He silently said in his heart: "The road of cultivation is full of thorns. If I can't get the Five Spiritual Pearls today, it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough in the future. It's better to give it a try."
He slowly formed seals with both hands in front of his chest, and each seal seemed to carry a heavy price. As the seals were formed, his body began to emit a strange light, which revealed a sense of vicissitudes and determination. The air around him seemed to feel the heaviness of this power and became heavy. The dust on the ground of the Pantheon, which was originally destroyed and dilapidated in the battle, stopped floating, as if time had stopped for the gathering of this power.
When Master Xuesha saw Fu Shaoping's strange behavior, he was a little confused, but he was confident of his strength and didn't take it too seriously. He sneered and said, "Boy, what else do you want to do?"
Fu Shaoping did not respond. He continued to concentrate on performing his magical powers. His spiritual power began to surge wildly, pouring out from his dantian, rushing along his meridians, and finally converging into the seals formed by his hands. His face gradually turned pale, and the veins on his forehead bulged, each of which looked like a trace of life passing away.
Finally, the magical power of "One Year of Withering and Flourishing" was ready. Fu Shaoping suddenly opened his eyes, and at this moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if containing the vicissitudes of endless years. He shouted loudly, and released this spiritual power that was fused with the burning life span towards the Blood Evil Master.
This spiritual power turned into a dark green light, like the sickle of the god of death, and quickly flew towards the Blood Evil Master. Wherever it passed, the space was stained with a layer of dead silence, as if all life would wither under this light.
True Lord Xuesha felt the terror of this power and tried to dodge, but found that the light seemed to lock onto him. He hurriedly strengthened his blood-red shield, and the blood-red shield glowed brightly, trying to resist the blow from Fu Shaoping that burned his lifespan.
When the green light hit the Blood Evil Shield of True Lord Blood Evil, a sharp friction sound was heard. The Blood Evil Shield began to tremble violently, and True Lord Blood Evil also felt a huge pressure. His face became solemn, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: "How can this kid suddenly have such a powerful power?"
Under the impact of this force, although the Blood Evil Shield of True Lord Xuesha was not immediately broken, his body began to show abnormalities. His hair began to turn white and his skin gradually lost its luster, which was a sign of the "Five Decays of the Celestial Being".
True Lord Xuesha was shocked. He had never thought that he would be in such a situation. He roared, "Fu Shaoping, you are courting death. How dare you cast such an evil spell on me!"
Although Fu Shaoping was weak due to burning his lifespan, he still had a glimmer of hope when he saw the signs of "Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man" appearing on True Lord Xuesha. He said with all his might, "True Lord Xuesha, if you hadn't forced me today, I wouldn't have used this forbidden spell. This Five Spirits Pearl is extremely important to me, I must get it."
When Xuanqing Zhenjun saw this scene, he was also very shocked. He didn't expect Fu Shaoping to have such a decisive method. At the same time, he was also worried that this battle would develop to an uncontrollable point. He shouted to Fu Shaoping: "Friend Fu, you are playing with your life. Once this kind of magic is used, you will pay a huge price."
Fu Shaoping smiled bitterly: "True Lord Xuanqing, if I hadn't done this, I would have died here today. I have been struggling to find a chance to break through on the road of cultivation, and these five spirit beads are my hope."
Blood Evil Master was filled with anger and fear at this time, and he decided to launch a more powerful attack to reverse the situation. He quickly formed seals with both hands, preparing to cast a more powerful blood evil spell. His spiritual power surged around him like a surging sea of blood, and the blood-red spiritual power kept twisting and deforming, forming various terrifying shapes, like a roaring evil ghost.
He chanted: "The bloody evil destroys the world, and all spirits die!" As he chanted, the blood-red spiritual energy around him gathered into a huge blood ball, which exuded a disgusting bloody smell. The blood ball kept spinning, absorbing the spiritual energy around it, becoming larger and larger, and finally like a blood-red sun that was about to fall.
Fu Shaoping looked at the powerful spell prepared by True Lord Xuesha, and knew that he had to respond again. He took a deep breath and began to mobilize his remaining spiritual power. He knew that his current state was very bad, but he couldn't give up.
He once again used his natal spirit seal, which slowly floated above his head under the infusion of his spiritual power. The natal spirit seal emitted a soft light, which merged with the remaining spiritual power after he had used the "One Year, One Withering and Flourishing" magical power, forming a peculiar defensive force.
At the same time, he commanded the Heavenly Dragon God to launch another attack. The Heavenly Dragon God sensed Fu Shaoping's determination and let out a thunderous dragon roar. The light of its whole body became more dazzling, and its dragon scales shone with a sacred light. It opened its mouth and spewed out a dragon breath containing powerful underworld power. This dragon breath was like a black dragon, rushing towards the blood ball of the Blood Evil Master.
The blood ball of True Lord Xuesha collided with the dragon breath of Heavenly Dragon God, making a loud noise that shook the earth. The entire Pantheon shook violently, and the cracks on the walls of the Pantheon became wider, and some stones began to fall.
Although the blood ball of the Blood Evil Master was deformed by the dragon's breath, it still flew towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping's heart tightened, and he injected all his spiritual power into the natal spirit seal. The natal spirit seal shone brightly, forming a shield.
The blood ball hit the shield, generating a powerful shock wave. Fu Shaoping was knocked back by the force, spurting blood from his mouth. His body hit a pillar of the Pantheon heavily, and the runes on the pillar flickered a few times, seemingly affected as well.
When the Dragon God saw Fu Shaoping injured, he angrily rushed towards the Blood Evil Master. He swung his huge dragon claws, and each swing brought a gust of wind. The Blood Evil Master dodged the Dragon God's attack, and at the same time, his clones appeared again, and dozens of clones surrounded the Dragon God.
Although the Dragon God was powerful, he still had a hard time facing so many clones. Fu Shaoping struggled to stand up, knowing that he couldn't let the Dragon God fight alone. He endured the severe pain in his body and formed a seal again, preparing to summon the "Twelve Thunder Swords".
His hands were shaking, and every time he formed a seal, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength. Finally, the "Twelve Thunder Swords" were summoned. Under the control of his spiritual power, these swords slowly flew into the air. Fu Shaoping shouted: "Thunder Swords, defeat the enemy!"
The twelve Thunder Swords turned into twelve lightning bolts and stabbed at the clone of Blood Evil Master. Each lightning bolt contained powerful spiritual power, and wherever it passed, the space was flashing with electricity. After being hit by the Thunder Sword, the clones of Blood Evil Master dissipated one after another. But Blood Evil Master himself took this opportunity to rush towards Fu Shaoping. A blood-red long sword appeared in his hand, and the long sword exuded a strong bloody smell.
Fu Shaoping watched Blood Evil Master rushing over, and he clenched the Star Scimitar in his hand. Although he was weak now, his eyes were still firm. He thought to himself: "Even if I die today, I will fight to the death."
Just when True Lord Xuesha was about to stab Fu Shaoping, True Lord Xuanqing finally made his move. He waved his hands, and a white spiritual power turned into a barrier, blocking Fu Shaoping and True Lord Xuesha.
Xuanqing Zhenjun frowned and said, "That's enough. If you continue to fight like this, both sides will suffer. Let's do as we said before and renegotiate the ownership of the Five Spiritual Pearls."
True Lord Xuesha looked at True Lord Xuanqing angrily: "Xuanqing, why do you keep stopping me? What is your intention?"
Xuanqing Zhenjun said calmly: "Xuesha, our goal is the Five Spiritual Pearls, not to kill each other. Fu Xiaoyou has also shown his determination and strength, we can't ignore his wishes."
Fu Shaoping looked at Master Xuanqing with gratitude. He knew that if Master Xuanqing had not stopped him, he would probably have died at the hands of Master Xuesha.
At this time, the Pantheon fell into silence. The Five Spiritual Pearls still emitted colorful light, as if waiting for the final outcome of this dispute. Fu Shaoping, Blood Evil Master, and Xuanqing Master all stood there, panting, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Fu Shaoping was thinking: "I have paid such a huge price, I can't give up the Five Spiritual Pearls easily." True Lord Xuesha was angry and annoyed, he was unwilling to let Fu Shaoping go. True Lord Xuanqing was thinking about how to balance the interests of both parties and find a proper solution.
After a while, Master Xuanqing broke the silence: "Friend Fu, you paid a huge price for these five spirit beads, and we all saw it. But these five spirit beads are of great importance and cannot be owned by you alone. I have a suggestion. The three of us will jointly protect these five spirit beads, and when we find the right opportunity in the future, we can decide who owns them. How do you think?"
In the tense atmosphere of the Pantheon, Fu Shaoping, True Lord Xuesha and True Lord Xuanqing had just reached an agreement to jointly protect the Five Spiritual Pearls (Five Colored Pearls). Fu Shaoping seemed to be standing there calmly, but his heart was like a turbulent sea, and he never stopped longing for the Five Colored Pearls.
Fu Shaoping knew that this five-colored bead was the key to his breakthrough. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to linger at the bottleneck of cultivation. The battle just now had already cost him a lot of damage. The sequelae of burning his lifespan to perform the "One Year One Withering and Flourishing" magical power was still raging in his body. Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, but his eyes never left the five-colored bead.
Neither True Lord Xuesha nor True Lord Xuanqing noticed Fu Shaoping's inner thoughts. True Lord Xuesha was still brooding over the battle just now, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes from time to time, while True Lord Xuanqing was thinking about how to better fulfill this agreement of joint protection and ensure the safety of the five-colored beads.
Fu Shaoping quietly circulated the little spiritual power left in his body. His movements were extremely covert, like a cheetah lurking in the grass, waiting for the best opportunity. His eyes were fixed on the five-colored beads, and his heart silently established a connection with his own chaotic space. That chaotic space was his biggest secret, an independent small world he accidentally opened up during an adventure. It was full of mysterious power and was also his last retreat.
Finally, Fu Shaoping felt that the time was ripe. He took a deep breath and pretended to approach the five-colored bead casually. Blood Evil Master frowned and was about to ask questions, but Fu Shaoping suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the five-colored bead.
At this moment, True Lord Xuesha and True Lord Xuanqing both widened their eyes. They had never expected that Fu Shaoping would suddenly go back on his word. True Lord Xuesha roared, "Fu Shaoping, how dare you break your promise!"
Fu Shaoping ignored them. He held the five-colored beads tightly and shouted in his heart: "Go!" As his mind moved, a strange light appeared around his body. This light was like a portal to an unknown world.
Seeing this, True Lord Xuesha immediately rushed forward, his speed was extremely fast, and a blood-red spiritual blade condensed in his hand, trying to stop Fu Shaoping before he escaped into the chaotic space. True Lord Xuanqing was also a little surprised, but he did not take action immediately, he was still hesitating whether to really attack Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping felt that the attack of the Blood Evil Master was coming, so he put the five-colored beads on his chest and then burst out all the remaining spiritual power in his body. A faint shield appeared around his body. Although the shield was weak, it was enough to withstand the hasty attack of the Blood Evil Master.
The spiritual blade of the Blood Evil Master hit the shield, making a crisp sound. Cracks appeared on the shield, but it still barely blocked the attack. At this moment, Fu Shaoping's body was completely enveloped by the strange light, and then disappeared on the spot.
True Lord Xuesha missed and roared angrily: "Fu Shaoping, you despicable villain, when I find you, I will tear you into pieces!"
Xuanqing Zhenjun sighed helplessly: "Fu Shaoping was forced to do this, but if he does this, I'm afraid he will bring disaster upon himself."
After Fu Shaoping escaped into the chaotic space, the surrounding scene made him feel relieved. The chaotic space was filled with gray mist, and occasionally some mysterious runes flashed. He looked at the colorful beads in his hand and a gratified smile appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
