Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongfang's expression changed drastically, and the thunder talisman in his hand almost slipped from his grip. His dao companion had died at the hands of the Heavenly Mechanism Valley three years ago, yet now her soul had been refined into the formation, reduced to a tool for the Valley. Rage and grief intertwined within him; his eyes turned bloodshot, and he abruptly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital essence. The power of the thunder talisman surged violently, transforming into nine bolts of lightning that struck directly at the First Elder.
However, as the River Chart and Luosuo Book in the First Elder's hand flipped, the lightning was swallowed by the Yin-Yang twin fish and reduced to nothingness. The Profound Underworld Heavy Water seeping from the ground grew increasingly turbulent. The protective astral Qi of the cultivators in the Ghost-Slaying Alliance completely collapsed, and Soul-Devouring Vines grew wildly from their seven facial orifices, devouring their spiritual power and vitality to the last trace.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuntian's heart sank, knowing that if things continued this way, the Ghost-Slaying Alliance would suffer heavy losses. He swung his sword fiercely, turning his astral fire into towering flames in an attempt to burn away all evil spirits. Yet the Profound Underworld Heavy Water suppressed the flames, and the power of the Yellow Springs Soul-Guiding Formation grew ever stronger.
