Chapter 74: The Ferocity of the Blood-Hued Monsters
The intense reaction from the chief disciples and true disciples of their respective sects sent shivers down the spines of the other disciples from the five sects. They felt a deep sense of unease, sensing that something was terribly wrong.
Suddenly, a series of muffled, rapid footsteps echoed from afar. Numerous towering ancient trees were knocked down one after another, creating a path through the dense forest.
Before long, everyone saw thirteen blood-colored monsters charging towards them. Among these creatures, three were impressively tall, standing at fifteen meters, while the remaining ten were also formidable, each measuring around ten meters.
Each monster, with their blood-red hues, exuded a powerful presence filled with savagery, madness, chaos, and bloodlust.
Moreover, the aura of the three fifteen-meter-tall monsters had reached the Late-stage of the Mysterious Platform realm, making them slightly more powerful than the typical cultivator at the same stage of the Mysterious Platform realm.
As they witnessed more than a dozen massive, blood-colored figures charging directly at them with fierce expressions, the disciples from the five major sects felt a wave of fear. Yet, as the elite of their sects, they quickly steadied themselves and prepared for the imminent battle.
"All members of the Ice Heart School, heed my command and assume the formation!" Miao Xiaorui’s voice pierced the tense air.
"All disciples of the Floating Spirit Sect, follow my directive and activate our sect’s killing array together!" Mu Tao’s voice was firm and unwavering.
"Members of the Starry Abyss Sect, prepare to execute the strongest move of your Void Rainbow Sword Technique!" Duan Ziming encouraged his followers, boosting their morale.
"..."
Upon hearing the commands from their chief disciples, the aura of each disciple intensified. Their robes fluttered as Origin Power surged within them, readying themselves to launch their most powerful attacks at any moment.
As the monsters drew closer, the crowd realized they weren’t targeting them directly but were instead converging on the fallen blood-colored monster, seemingly attracted by the treasure that emitted a tantalizing aroma of qi and blood.
But there was no time to dwell on this, as the monsters had already charged into their attack range.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, a defensive barrier sprang from the ground, encasing everyone like an inverted glass bowl. This was the result of the Ice Heart School disciples working together to activate their defensive formation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The monsters collided with the barrier, causing ripples to spread across its semi-transparent surface.
Remarkably, where the three largest blood-colored monsters struck, fine cracks appeared, suggesting the immense force of their impact.
Within the Ice Heart School, several disciples at the Spiritual Awakening realm turned pale and coughed up blood immediately. Fortunately, their sect had prepared them well with an abundance of medicinal pills. They quickly consumed these pills, managing to barely maintain the formation.
Yet, the disciples of the Azure Jade Sect around him appeared unfazed, indicating Ye Fan had previously demonstrated this level of prowess among them.
Jiang Chen thought to himself, ’This person is extremely cautious. The strength he’s showing is probably just a fraction of his actual power.’
He further speculated, ’His real combat ability must have reached the Mysterious Platform realm, and not just at a basic level. How else could he stand out among so many and secure the most significant rewards?’ Meanwhile, Jiang Chen continued his own series of attacks without pause.
The ten weaker blood-colored monsters were reaching their limits under the unyielding onslaught. Their bodies were severely damaged, nearly reduced to skeletal remains.
In just a few more moments, their demise was certain!
"Push harder!" came a voice, urgent and commanding.
"After we take down these ten, we can concentrate all our efforts on the three stronger ones and finish them off!" another cultivator announced, motivating everyone.
"Watch my Thunderous Lightning Storm! Go!" an excited cultivator bellowed, unleashing their formidable skill.
"Rainbow Sword Shatters the Heavens! Slay!" another yelled, their determination piercing the tumult of the fight.
"..."
More than a hundred cultivators from the Spiritual Awakening and Mysterious Platform realms were fighting with everything they had. A flurry of powerful attacks filled the air, relentlessly targeting the monsters.
As the three stronger monsters became covered in wounds and the ten weaker ones neared death, everyone let out a sigh of relief, feeling the end of the battle was in sight.
But suddenly, the ten weaker blood-colored monsters stopped their assault on the Ice Heart School’s defensive formation and, in a shocking turn, charged towards the three stronger monsters.
This unforeseen action left everyone momentarily stunned, spreading a wave of shock and confusion across the battlefield.
Right after, an even stranger occurrence took place: the ten weaker monsters collided with the three stronger blood-colored monsters, embedding their heads directly into the flesh of the latter!
Moreover, countless muscles started to emerge on the bodies of all the monsters, twisting like serpents and weaving together.
Almost instantly, the ten weaker monsters acted as links, merging the three stronger monsters into a three-headed colossal being. Remarkably, all previous injuries healed immediately.
"Roar, roar, roar——!!" The three-headed colossal monster let out a thunderous bellow. Its aura surged dramatically, quickly advancing to the Peak-stage of the Mysterious Platform realm. But to the shock of all who witnessed, its power didn’t halt there; it soared even higher, reaching the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm.
