Chapter 960: Chapter 179: The End of the Ruins, Finally Entering the Grand Hall! (2)

Zhou Xun’s face was solemn, deeply aware that this bloody giant dragon had fused the power of two Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Bodies, its strength already beyond imagination.

"Really troublesome!"

"However, it also indicates the treasures inside are even more precious!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun tapped his waist, and a ring two inches in size appeared in his hand, entirely black with engravings of the characters "Lock Spirit,"

it was the trophy after defeating True Monarch Spirit Control,

this ring feels as light as a feather, yet as heavy as Mount Tai,

under one strike, as if ten thousand mountains had come crashing down, even a Tier Four Demon Beast finds it hard to withstand a single blow!

More importantly, this treasure also has enemy-capturing capabilities, absolutely the top-tier among High-Grade Magical Treasures!

Zhou Xun gently tossed it, followed by a flash of spirit light,

the Spirit Locking Ring suddenly set on the head of the bloody dragon, emitting strands of gray light, suppressing it, simultaneously,

beside him the Profound Armor Armadillo flickered slightly, deploying its lifebound divine technique - Thousand Layers of Profound Light,

a yellow light instantly shone through, sweeping over this bloody dragon,

under multiple gravitational suppressions, the dragon’s movements slowed sharply, letting out roars,

seizing the opportunity,

Zhou Xun formed a hand seal, lightly shouting, and pointed towards the Blood Dragon:

"Nine Heavens of Tribulation Thunder"

In the sky, dark clouds thickened, thunder light flickered, a mighty heavenly force came down,

locking the bloody dragon below tightly!

Precisely his divine techniques that simulate transformation thunder tribulation, the power of tribulation thunder is the best nemesis of such demonic spiritual bodies!

Seventy-two thunder seeds instantly erupted with intense light, bolts of thick thunder and lightning emerged out of thin air.

Sensing the powerful force contained in the thunder light in the void, the bloody dragon could not help but tremble, revealing a hint of fear,

wanting to flee immediately,

knowing that the tribulation thunder, containing the might of heaven and earth, is the thing he most dreads as a demonic spirit,

yet under this divine technique’s lock, he could no longer escape, let alone withstand the dual suppressions of the Spirit Locking Ring and Thousand Layers of Profound Light!

Only his dragon horns lit up with blood light, forming a blood-colored shield of several feet in size on his head,

Zhou Xun remained expressionless, quietly watching the dragon exert itself, softly saying:

"Drop!"

Immediately, a purple thunderbolt as thick as a bucket crashed down,

colliding with the blood-colored giant shield, bursting into a world-shaking roar.

Followed closely,

"Zizzling!"

The blood shield instantly shattered, unable to withstand even the first strike of the tribulation thunder,

"Is the restraining effect of this tribulation thunder really this strong?" Zhou Xun was astonished; under such mighty heavenly force, the strength of this bloody dragon seemed to be reduced to only thirty percent.

The second bolt of thunder light descended,

"Boom!"

The thunder light struck the true form of the bloody dragon,

thunder light flowed through his entire body, causing him to stiffen immediately, the body that originally emitted blood-red light suddenly dimmed considerably,

"Roar——"

The pained dragon struggled frantically, tightening the Spirit Locking Ring, oscillating between light and darkness,

"Crack——"

The next moment it shattered with a boom, turning into strands of fragments falling from the sky,

True Monarch Spirit Control’s lifebound magical treasure finally met its end,

but at this time,

The third, fourth... successive thick thunderbolts smashed down, although the bloody dragon was of high caliber, it was still hard to resist this tribulation thunder attack that seemed like a punishment from heaven.

His aura plummeted instantly, strength greatly reduced!

"Strike while he’s down!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun transformed into a residual shadow, pouncing out, a staff-length purple spear appearing in his hand, precisely his top-grade spiritual treasure - Purple Jade Thunder Spear

slowly injecting mana,

zizzling, strands of thunder arc flickered,

then he thrust the spearhead forward,

it instantly pierced into the head of the bloody dragon, purple thunder light flowed down the spear like a torrent, flooding into the dragon’s body.

The dragon roared in agony, its body twisting violently, its originally dim blood-colored scales now obliterated by the radiance of thunder light.

Thunder light rampaged inside the dragon, destroying its spiritual body structure.

It struggled desperately, its massive body rampaging across the square, attempting to escape this deadly assault.

Seeing this, Xiaojia, disregarding his own exhaustion, unleashed the Thousand Layers of Profound Light again, increasing the gravitational suppression, slowing down the dragon’s movements further.

The Blood Demon Emperor and Profound Bone King were also busy, the Blood Demon Emperor wielded golden bone claws, constantly clawing at the dragon’s body, each strike bringing forth a mist of blood;

The Profound Bone King commanded the White Bone Python, which once again took shape, its mouth wide open, biting at the dragon’s limbs, trying to restrict its movements.

With the final burst of purple thunder light, the dragon let out a chilling shriek, its body slowly collapsing, gradually dissipating, and eventually becoming nothingness...

Zhou Xun and his companions watched the disappearing blood-colored dragon, all breathing a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it’s dealt with, let’s hope there are no other guardians ahead!" Zhou Xun remarked with feeling,

After all, at this pace,

The guardians ahead might very well be beyond what he could handle now.

...

After resting for a moment, Zhou Xun turned his gaze towards the grand hall not far away, after two battles, the originally brilliant outer restriction,

Suddenly dimmed significantly, about only two-tenths of its original state,

At this moment, Zhou Xun felt a sense of clarity,

The two Spirit Body Generals might have been condensed from this Defense Array,

After all, they were akin to Nascent Soul Peak existence, consuming massive amounts of energy,

Zhou Xun broke them, in turn consuming most of the spiritual power of this grand array,

"Let’s keep moving forward, to see what secrets are hidden within this hall."

He said, standing up, activating strands of Defense Light Shield, following the previous formation, slowly approaching the grand hall,

Upon getting closer, only then was its full appearance revealed,

The grand hall was magnificent, nearly a hundred meters tall, with flying eaves and dougong, carved with various exotic beasts,

Eerily, these beasts all displayed a blood-colored glow, identical to what Zhou Xun had seen in the misty canyon earlier.

The hall doors were crafted from black giant stones emitting a ghostly glow, engraved with gruesome ghost faces and twisted demonic patterns, giving a strong sense of oppression.

The surface flickered with strands of spirit light, obviously equipped with highly powerful restrictions,

Seeing this, Zhou Xun patted the Spirit Insect Bag at his waist,

A three-inch plump insect appeared in his hand, exactly his ’Thousand-Answering Insect’!

After years of cultivation, it had reached Tier Three Level,

Before entering this time, Zhou Xun specifically brought it along, precisely to break restrictions.

After all, as a relic, the cave was full of arrays and restrictions one after another.

With a thought, the Thousand-Answering Insect slowly flew up, directly facing the restriction ahead,

Meanwhile, sharing the vision, Zhou Xun instantly sensed the spiritual energy circuit nodes of the restriction before him, he stood motionless, with the Profound Thunder Sword suspended before him,

"Now, go!"

Suddenly, Zhou Xun’s gaze tightened, pointing at the restriction ahead,

The Profound Thunder Sword turned into a blue-purple afterimage, instantly striking a spot ahead,

Immediately, the spirit lights before him seemed to have received some control, coming to an abrupt stop.

"The restriction is broken!"

Xiaojin exclaimed joyfully,

Zhou Xun took a deep breath, calming his emotions, stepped forward, raised his hand and pushed lightly against the hall door.

Unexpectedly, the hall door was not as heavy as he imagined, a gentle push slowly opened it with a deep "creak",

Then a rich blood aura swept over, Zhou Xun’s Blood Demon Bag at his waist suddenly agitated, in an unprecedentedly intense manner!

Simultaneously, an overwhelming craving surged from it, akin to a voracious beast.

Zhou Xun looked up,

Only to see, within the hundred-meter-sized hall, depicted with strands of spirit patterns,

And the ultimate convergence point of these spirit patterns was a central platform, where a blood pool about a meter in size was built,

The blood aura was exactly emitted from here,

"This is... Blood Demon Power refined to the extreme!"

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be stunned, this force, identical to the Blood Demon Crystal, and even purer,

Only then did he understand where their desire came from,

Thus he slapped his waist, five strands of blood light flew out, turning into afterimages, and plunged directly into that small blood pool.
