Volume 6 Chapter 92: The Peak Battle (10)

The "Four Spirit Sky Map" has two main effects: one is to use the power of the Four Spirits for sealing, and the other is to summon the four Mythical Beasts sealed within it for battle.

Although the four Mythical Beasts summoned by the "Four Spirit Sky Map" are just manifestations of energy, the true bodies of the four Mythical Beasts are located within it. If the "Four Spirit Sky Map" is refined to perfection, the summoned four Mythical Beasts will possess power equal to the real ones.

However, the "Four Spirit Sky Map" is a divine object, and there is probably no one in the Shenzhou Continent who can completely refine it. Therefore, the four great Mythical Beasts summoned will not be able to compare with the real ones, but even so, as long as they can summon these four great Mythical Beasts made of energy, their power will still be extremely strong.

Immortal Zizhen and the others never expected that, in just a few short years, Zhang Xusheng had managed to refine the "Four Spirit Sky Map" to the point where he could summon the projections of the four great Mythical Beasts.

The roar of dragons and the cries of phoenixes, the growls of tigers and the hisses of snakes; the four great Mythical Beasts emerged from the sea of blood with immense pressure and charged toward Immortal Zizhen and the others. With the power of the blood sea surrounding them, the eyes of the four great Mythical Beasts burned with a terrifying red, full of ferocity.

"Work together!"

Facing the attack of the four great Mythical Beasts, Immortal Zizhen and the other two were startled but stayed calm and did not let their guard down. With a low shout from Immortal Zizhen, the three people forming the Three Talent Formation quickly made hand gestures, and in an instant, their combined strength increased several times.

This is the mysterious power of the "Three Talent Formation." As long as the person setting up the formation controls it correctly, each of the three people within the formation can share their strength for a time, and their power can instantly triple.

Feeling the immense energy within him, Li Fulu took the lead and chose to fight the fire spirit "Zhuque," as he was skilled in water magic.

Li Fulu suddenly pointed to the sky, and immediately, a large gap was opened in the night sky above everyone, letting in sunlight.

Along with the sunlight came a vast and surging river of icy blue.

"Pull!"

Li Fulu said in a low voice. What he unleashed was another of his master techniques besides "Ice Meteor" — "Sky River Water"!

The icy blue water that formed the river was no ordinary water; it was the legendary "Kui Water," extremely cold. It is said that each drop of "Kui Water" has the power to freeze for miles, and what Li Fulu summoned was an entire river of "Kui Water"!

Under Li Fulu’s control, Sky River Water rushed towards the Vermilion Bird, unstoppable and grand. Even from a hundred feet away, its coldness was already oppressive.

The Vermilion Bird belongs to the fire element and naturally dislikes the water essence of "Kui Water." It swiftly dodged to the side, while the water-elemental Azure Dragon moved towards the Sky River Water, unsure if it was to support the Vermilion Bird or simply because it enjoyed the essence of "Kui Water."

However, with Li Fulu’s control, although Sky River Water seemed to charge straight ahead, it moved with great flexibility. Just before the Azure Dragon arrived, it made a clever turn, as if the river encountered a bend, and surged towards the Vermilion Bird again. With no choice, the Vermilion Bird had to abandon its attack and evade.

Yet, under Li Fulu’s control, Sky River Water continually followed closely behind the Vermilion Bird like a shadow, keeping the pursuing Azure Dragon at a distance. Although Li Fulu usually acted modestly among the three most skilled masters, the power he displayed at this moment was astonishing. He managed to hold back two of the four Great Mythical Beasts by himself.

Meanwhile, Immortal Zizhen faced the "Black Tortoise."

The "Black Tortoise" holds the noblest position among the four Great Mythical Beasts, with its body resembling a blend of turtle and snake, representing both the earth and wood elements. Its strong defense and sharp, unusual attacks are well known, and in the past, the masters of the Righteous Alliance exerted a great effort to capture it. This particular "Black Tortoise" was not the real one, but Immortal Zizhen didn’t dare to underestimate it. He focused his Spirit Qi to the limit, surrounded by purple energy, which swirled and wafted towards the "Black Tortoise." Every time a bit of purple energy touched the "Black Tortoise," its power decreased. By the time the "Black Tortoise" finally reached Immortal Zizhen, it was already enveloped in endless purple energy, resembling a massive purple cocoon. Inside, the "Black Tortoise" could no longer tell east from west, its senses greatly diminished, and it could no longer find its target, greatly reducing its power, causing it to stumble around in the sky.

In comparison, Mr. Liu’s task among the three is the easiest. He doesn’t have to face two opponents like Li Fulu, nor does he have to deal with the powerful "Xuanwu" like Immortal Zizhen. In fact, the "White Tiger" is the weakest among the four great Mythical Beasts.

However, Mr. Liu’s task is also the most troublesome. Besides fighting the "White Tiger," he also has to control the "Silent Lamp" against the still-present "Overflowing Night" technique, while also searching for Zhang Xusheng’s whereabouts and staying alert for Zhang Xusheng’s surprise attacks.

Truly, he is the "Treasure Immortal." Facing the fierce and roaring "White Tiger," he raised his hand, and a precious item appeared.

A long, golden needle about one inch long and as thin as a hair shot from Mr. Liu’s hand towards the "White Tiger," but surprisingly, it moved very slowly.

However, after the golden needle traveled about one inch, it suddenly flashed with golden light, and in the next moment, its speed doubled. The single golden needle unexpectedly transformed into two, and after traveling another inch, it flashed with golden light again, its speed doubling once more, turning the two golden needles into four.

Just like this, when the golden needles reached the front of the "White Tiger," their speed was faster than lightning, numbering in the thousands.

The "White Tiger" only saw a glittering golden light in front of it, but it paid no attention. To its strong body, no matter how marvelous human treasures are, they cannot cause significant harm.

But the "White Tiger" did not know that the golden needle shot by Mr. Liu is called the "Suiling Needle" in the cultivation world, and even the strongest cultivator would turn pale at the mention of it.

As the name suggests, this golden needle constantly absorbs Spirit Qi from the surrounding environment, increasing its speed and number. When the needle pierces a cultivator’s body, it moves through the cultivator’s meridians with the flow of Spirit Qi, continuously absorbing more Spirit Qi, which speeds it up and increases its numbers. When the quantity and speed reach a certain level, it inevitably begins to damage the cultivator’s body continuously until the cultivator explodes and dies. It is rightly considered one of the most sinister treasures created by righteous people in the cultivation world over the millennia.

The "White Tiger" is just a projection of the real "White Tiger" sealed in the "Four Spirit Sky Map." It is made entirely of energy. The golden needles smoothly entered the body of the "White Tiger" and began to move with the energy inside it. Thousands of golden needles entered the "White Tiger," and in a short time, their number increased several times, absorbing the energy within the "White Tiger" and disrupting its energy flow. By the time the "White Tiger" finally rushed in front of Mr. Liu, its energy body had become extremely shaky, as if it could collapse at any moment, and it no longer had any strength to attack.

On the other side, while Immortal Zizhen, Li Fulu, and Mr. Liu were fighting against the "Four Spirit Sky Map," the other eleven masters were working together to fend off the revived Blood Sea’s attacks, making sure not to let the Blood Sea interfere with Immortal Zizhen and the others.

Just then, the "Vermilion Bird," which was constantly avoiding Li Fulu’s "Kui Water," found itself unable to escape the threat of the "Sky River Water." Suddenly, it let out a clear cry, turned, and plunged into the Blood Sea, hoping to use the Blood Sea to block Li Fulu’s "Sky River Water."

Little did it know, the "Vermilion Bird’s" action played right into Li Fulu’s plan. He controlled the "Sky River Water" to dive into the Blood Sea just like the "Vermilion Bird." Under the chilling effect of "Kui Water," the Blood Sea turned into a frozen sculpture once again, sealing in not only the "Vermilion Bird" but also the "Azure Dragon," which had followed "Sky River Water" into the Blood Sea.

Meanwhile, under the influence of the "Suiling Needle," when the "White Tiger" got within three feet of Mr. Liu, it finally collapsed completely. The countless golden needles shimmered and transformed into one, returning to Mr. Liu’s hand.

The "Black Tortoise," surrounded by purple energy, continued to bump around, causing no threat to anyone.

"Half complete."

Immortal Zizhen suddenly said something puzzling.

Mr. Liu and Li Fulu silently nodded, understanding that Immortal Zizhen meant that Zhang Xusheng could now unleash half the power of the "Four Spirit Sky Map."

Half a success may seem very small, but it took Zhang Xusheng only two years to refine the "Four Spirit Sky Map," and this half success is already enough for Zhang Xusheng to delay the three of them for a long time.

Seeing that they had once again blocked Zhang Xusheng’s attack, Immortal Zizhen and the others felt a brief moment of relaxation and ease. Just as they were about to counterattack, Zhang Xusheng suddenly appeared silently not far in front of them.

Then, Zhang Xusheng used his never-before-seen third ultimate skill to attack Immortal Zizhen and the other three.
