Chapter 241: Provocation doesn't work on me
A few minutes ago, when Lilith rushed out of the temple despite any obstruction.
The man in the tattered robe swept over the golden basin and walked quickly into the depths of the temple with his scepter.
He staggered, and his tattered robe that dragged on the ground brushed against the cold black tiles, revealing faintly the bony white toes beneath the robe.
At the deepest part of the temple, the man used his scepter to shatter the floor tiles, revealing a dark hole underneath.
A spiral stone staircase extends from the cave entrance into the bottomless mountain.
The man went down the cold and damp spiral stone stairs to the center of the Spirit Temple Mountain at the fastest speed a skeleton could.
The belly of the mountain was hollowed out at some point, forming a cave as big as a theater.
In the center of the cave is a mirror-like white marble platform, with dozens of gems emitting dark green light suspended on it. Inside the gems, light spots are rotating in one direction.
The man knew that this was the life energy that Lilith had extracted from the sacrificial victims during this period of time.
Several green light beams as thick as fingers radiate from each gem. They connect to each other and form an hourglass shape in the air.
Light green mist flashing with fluorescence was circulating in the quicksand pools above and below the hourglass.
The man stared carefully at the hourglass in front of him. At the bottom of the quicksand pool below, green beams of light swirled and entangled to form a complete and intricate magic circle.
The style of the magic circle was strange, different from all the magic circles he was familiar with, and he had only seen the symbols in some fragments of ancient books that recorded ancient wars.
At the top of the quicksand pool above, the magic circle formed by green light beams is incomplete, with only half of it remaining.
He recognized it at a glance. This was the half fragment of the Hellwell formation that he had given to Lilith in order to gain her trust.
If he had eyelids, they would be slightly narrowed at this moment.
"Lilith..."
"I didn't expect that you are not so stupid. You actually thought of connecting the fragments of the Resurrection Array and the Hell Well Array."
"Are you afraid that I will destroy the bridge after crossing the river?"
"Though I do intend to."
"But now, times have changed and our common enemy has emerged."
"Just let me lend you a hand. Don't let me down, Lilith."
The man climbed onto the white marble platform and moved several gems on the upper half of the hourglass.
After a green beam of light connected the last two gems, the inner pattern of the entire Hell Well formation was completely formed. The green mist inside the hourglass suddenly shrank, and a huge suction force came from the center of the hourglass.
The man inserted the golden staff deeply into the white marble platform to stabilize his body. The tattered robe wrapped around him swelled up like a bat's wings. Countless green fluorescent lights penetrated the wall of the cave and quickly gathered towards the center of the hourglass like moths to a flame.
The mist in the hourglass glowed brighter and brighter. The man bathing in it took a deep breath, feeling the energy of life filling his body again. Under his fluttering hood, blood vessels, nerves, and flesh grew on his pale skull, and the face of a heroic middle-aged man slowly emerged.
The man opened his eyes and uttered an ancient spell. A tremendous amount of energy suddenly gushed out from the center of the magic circle. A green beam of light rushed straight to the top of the cave, penetrating the mountain and the golden dome of the temple, and reflected a huge magic circle above the clouds.
The corner of his lips curled up into a sneer: "You are destined to die in my hands, Asaiah."
------------
At the top of Lingdian Mountain and in the Temple Square, many people who were fleeing in panic suddenly felt their knees go weak and fell to the ground.
The skin on their faces shrank and their hair dried and turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And from the center of the temple’s golden dome, a green beam of light shot up into the sky.
The beam of light went straight into the sky, and in the thick clouds, it meandered into a huge green magic circle like lightning.
"Oh no, it's the Hell Well!" Tuoba Qiong shouted anxiously, "There are still people in the temple!"
In mid-air, Ai Wanxin sat astride the little fox, lowered her body and rushed towards the golden statue.
Following the last words of Tuoba Qing's warning, she jumped up, the Ci Xing flashed in her hand, and the long sword drew a faint blue arc in the air, which slashed on the raised right arm of the golden statue with the power of thunder.
"boom--"
The right arm of the golden statue broke with a sound and fell heavily on the stone steps.
She threw a fireball with her backhand, and it blasted towards the temple. The fireball hit the tightly closed tall stone door of the temple, shaking the entire temple. The broken stones from the eaves of the temple hit the golden statue with a crackling sound.
"Asaiah, although this is not what I planned..." Lilith's trembling voice came from the golden statue, "But is this all you have?"
Just as Ai Wanxin turned over and sat back on the little fox, the magic circle in the sky seemed to ignite the clouds. A burn mark tore a gap in the clouds, and huge emerald green fireballs popped out one after another, and in an instant fell diagonally like meteors.
"Roar—" The sentinels reacted extremely quickly. The huge spiritual body tore through the air and let out a mighty roar towards the sky.
Yin Yanhan left Qin Tianlang and Sheng Xiuming behind, and Taowu carried him and rushed towards the falling fireball.
Thunder rumbled in the clouds and countless blue-purple lightning bolts struck from the sky, chasing the first batch of falling fireballs like stars and the moon.
"boom--"
All the fireballs exploded at the same time, and the small fireball fragments sprinkled like waterfalls onto the boundaries of the old city and the new city.
He Yang fell back half a step, and a dazzling arc-shaped light shield appeared above Lingdian Mountain. The light shield spread to the distance at an extremely fast speed, covering half of the old city under the protective shield.
The scattered fireball fragments hit the light shield, bursting into balls of brilliant green flames.
In areas that the light shield could not cover, countless ice and snow hurricanes rose out of nowhere, carrying the scattered fireball fragments out of the old city.
The fragments of the fireball fell on the hillside of Lingdian Mountain, making one explosion after another.
The exploding green flames dragged the wandering zombies into the raging sea of fire.
The last bit of flesh and blood on their bodies was burned away, leaving only charred bones. Their eyes, covered with white film, dimmed for a moment, and then dark green flames ignited in the next moment.
"Roar--" The zombies let out a terrifying roar, trampled over the crosses erected on the hillside, and rushed towards the old city like a tide.
"Ah——" Screams and cries echoed in the Temple Square and the old city.
Behind Ai Wanxin were green fireballs falling from the sky, thousands of lightning bolts streaking across the sky, and fireflies as brilliant as fireworks splashed by the fragments of fireballs hitting the protective shield.
"Everyone knows it."
She spread out the five fingers of her left hand, and the entire temple disappeared from where it was. The next second, the magnificent temple appeared right above the Wailing Canyon and fell straight down.
Just when Lilith was distracted and looking at the temple, the little fox had already circled behind the golden statue, and Ai Wanxin leaped into the air and landed on the head of the golden statue.
She thrust the long knife in her hand fiercely into the top of the statue's head, and the golden lava flowed along the long knife into the cracked head of the golden statue.
"Bang——" The huge head of the golden statue suddenly exploded, and the scattered gold nuggets hit the anti-gravity field erected by Tuoba Qiong, bounced back and fell to the ground.
Ai Wanxin landed steadily at the original location of the disappeared temple, swept away the remaining gold chips with his sword, and completed what he had just said.
"As we all know, provocation doesn't work on me."
