Chapter 269: Capture All
A wisp of golden light erupted from the thick black devilish aura. Ye Qiluo looked expectantly at the center of the city. She saw the wisp of golden light slowly expanding. Moreover, the devilish aura was like water that had been pierced by the morning sun. The light beam kept increasing and expanding.
In the end, the thick black devilish aura could no longer withstand it and was destroyed by the thousands of rays of light. In the end, it was far from being able to cover the light of the blazing sun.
Li Yuanqing was surrounded by a shield with a diameter of half a meter, blocking his upper body in the middle.
This golden shield emitted a dazzling light that erupted in all directions, dispelling the devilish aura that filled the sky. It was as if he was the only person in the entire world. He was as bright as the sun, as dazzling as the center of this world.
The dozen or so devil leaders had long disappeared from the sky.
When they first attacked Li Yuanqing, they felt that they had a very good chance to deal with him. However, they did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so powerful.
It was only at the moment they came into contact that Li Yuanqing summoned his shield. In just a short moment, he could summon such a powerful defensive shield. This ability was simply jaw-dropping.
After the first round of attacks, the dozen or so devils were immediately rebounded by a powerful force, causing them to lose half their lives. All of them lay on the ground below and kept squirming. Their bodies began to become unstable.
They were all power bodies condensed from devilish energy. Now that their power had dissipated greatly, it caused their bodies to fall into a very unstable state. They could be destroyed at any time.
In their state, they no longer had the ability to organize any counterattacks. They could only lie on the ground and watch as rays of light erupted from the ground like pillars that shot into the sky.
These pillars locked them to the ground one by one. They were connected to the dome scattered by the golden threads on Li Yuanqing’s body.
These pillars of light kept erupting from the ground. The devil soldiers could still move now and wanted to find an opportunity by moving left and right. However, their simple movements were no longer effective.
The golden pillars of light seemed to be endless as they constantly erupted from the ground. They chased after them everywhere. They could not escape from any corner of the city. In the end, all the devils were trapped in the middle of the pillars of light.
After Ye Qiluo saw that the devilish aura in the city had been dispersed, she immediately rushed inside. She followed the dome up and arrived beside Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing was sitting cross-legged on the dome like an old Buddha. He was so dignified.
The shield on his body had already disappeared. He sat here like a very ordinary boy, so handsome and quiet.
Ye Qiluo stood at the side and carefully observed Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing’s eyes were tightly shut. She wondered if he had been injured just now.
Ye Qiluo watched nervously, but she did not dare to disturb him. Li Yuanqing was so strong, he must have his own way. If he was really injured, he would definitely be able to resolve it himself, right? She was in a dilemma. She wanted to go up and help Li Yuanqing, but she did not know what to do.
“There’s nothing else. When all the devils below are refined, all the devils in the Demon Realm will be expelled. In the future, no devils will come here again.”
Ye Qiluo was a little touched. Li Yuanqing was definitely not afraid of these devils.
Everything he did was for the sake of the human race. It was all for the sake of the thousands of humans. In order for them to be able to settle down in the Catacombs, he destroyed all these foreign devils.
“Thank you, Young Master Li!”
Li Yuanqing opened his eyes. His eyes were so bright. He looked at Ye Qiluo and smiled. “There’s nothing to thank me for. I refined them to obtain a large devil crystal.”
Ye Qiluo asked curiously, “There are many Formation Arrangement Realm devils here. The refined devil crystals will definitely be very useful. I wonder what Young Master Li will use these devil crystals for?”
Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and replied, “I know some items related to the Devil Realm. If they are refined, they might be of some use. They might be useful in battle. However, I’m mainly testing this array formation today to see if it’s really as he said. I want to see if I can fuse all the devil crystals together and turn them into a large devil crystal.”
“What? Merge the devil crystal?”
Ye Qiluo’s eyes widened in shock.
It had to be known that every time the level of this devil crystal increased, the price would increase exponentially. The higher the level of the devil crystal, the harder it was to obtain.
In fact, the devil crystals of these Formation Arrangement Realm experts were already very, very precious. If he were to fuse all these people’s devil crystals together and forcefully merge them to reach a very terrifying status, she wondered how powerful it would be.
Ye Qiluo had heard of some uses for devil crystals, but she had never seen these legendary devils or techniques in so many years. Most of them had been lost, and there was probably nothing useful now.
“Young Master Li, these are all Formation Arrangement Realm experts. How strong will it be if you fuse all their devil crystals together? If you want to refine artifacts, the difficulty will increase greatly, right?”
“I haven’t considered that yet.”
As the two of them spoke, the devils below gradually changed.
The devils, who were originally struggling very fiercely, stopped struggling after a while. At this moment, all of them seemed to have become mute as they lay on the ground without moving. Moreover, their bodies were gradually dissipating.
They could originally take the shape of a person, but now, they have completely lost their shape and turned into a pool of mud on the ground. Moreover, it seemed to have gradually seeped into the ground. This scene was so strange.
Strands of devilish aura kept spreading to the ground below. They slowly became thin and were sucked clean by the ground. The few great devils in the middle were slowly unable to support their bodies and were about to disintegrate.
“Ah.”
A miserable cry tore through the sky and reached Ye Qiluo’s ears.
Ye Qiluo lowered her head and looked down. The dozen or so great devils who were originally high-spirited were all lying on the ground, their bodies had already turned into mud.
More than ten flickering devil crystals protruded from the mud. Although these devil crystals were twisting left and right and trembling, they could not escape no matter what. They were all restrained by the pillar of light.
These pillars of light had originally trapped the devil crystal in the middle. It was stuck in the pillars of light and could not escape no matter what.
Although these devil crystals did not escape, they accelerated the separation of their bodies. Soon, more than ten huge devil crystals slowly rose into the air. Along with the small devil crystals in the small pillars of light, tens of thousands of devil crystals shone in the sky.
All the devils had died. They had come here to find an opportunity and treasures, but they had gained nothing. All of them had turned into ashes. All the benefits had landed on Li Yuanqing.
Tens of thousands of devils could not even deal with one person. If this were to be spread back, no devil would believe it. However, it happened here.
This city was like a purgatory to the devils.
“Young Master Li, are these the devil crystals of these devils?”
Although Ye Qiluo had seen some of it from ancient books, she had never seen it with her own eyes. She was naturally shocked to see so many devil crystals gathered together.
Looking at the black crystals flickering in the sky, there seemed to be a faint thread between them that wrapped them together and kept approaching the center.
Ye Qiluo fell into a daze.
Many demons and humans outside Sea City sensed the huge aura here and came from afar. They hid on the mountains outside and observed carefully.
They looked at the strange scene in the sky and were all amazed. There were tens of thousands of flickering black crystals in this huge golden ball. They were inside this upside down golden bowl. The temperature that was still being released made the devil crystals struggle uncontrollably. It looked like it would explode at any moment.
As the power in the array formation in the city continued to condense, these devil crystals finally gathered together. All of them shattered into small pieces. When they reached the middle, the pressure inside was too great, crushing all the devil crystals into powder.
The more it reached the middle, the greater the pressure. When it gathered into a ball less than a meter in diameter, it had completely condensed into microscopic powder that flowed together like liquid.
The power inside this big black ball with a diameter of one meter was so solid that even the outer s.p.a.ce was distorted imperceptibly, as if a small black hole had formed here. The black hole kept tearing at the s.p.a.ce beside it, causing cracks to appear in the s.p.a.ce.
“Young Master Li, will anything happen if this continues?”
The more Ye Qiluo looked, the more terrified she became. This power was really too corporeal. Who could have such power to gather such a huge power together and control it so well? This was simply unimaginable.
Li Yuanqing’s sixth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm strength was already enough to pressure people. No one could imagine how huge the instantaneous explosive power in the black ball was.
Ye Qiluo was terrified and wanted to pull Li Yuanqing along to escape. If this place continued, it would probably be dangerous.
At this moment, Li Yuanqing was staring fixedly at the black crystal ball in the middle. This was what he wanted.
The more solid the power, the more useful it was to him. Although there was a huge amount of power in the black devil crystal and it could be used to make some Dharma artifacts, it was not that useful.
However, if tens of thousands of devil crystals were gathered together, and it was the devil crystals of more than ten Formation Arrangement Realm experts as a catalyst, how powerful would a Dharma artifact made of this power be?
At the thought of this, Li Yuanqing’s eyes widened. He looked excitedly at the shrinking black crystal ball. The black golden ball looked like it was powerful enough, but it was still shrinking.
Li Yuanqing seemed to have gone crazy. He kept controlling the black ball, as if he was controlling a huge hand. He kept rubbing the black crystal ball and shrinking it step by step.
This huge hand looked like it was about to lose control of its strength, but it was still exerting strength. Even the turbulence in the middle s.p.a.ce had already distorted its strength.
From the appearance of the outside, the black crystal ball that had been slowly twisting towards a circle just now was now inexplicably twisting into other shapes. All kinds of oval and twisted little tentacles stretched out.
This power kept distorting, but it shrank towards the middle firmly. No matter how distorted this power was, as long as it could continue shrinking, it was what Li Yuanqing wanted.
The crystal ball shrank to a diameter of less than half a meter. At this moment, the black s.p.a.ce outside was becoming more and more corporeal, as if a black hole was about to take shape. If this continued, who knew what the consequences would be?
“Young Master Li, stop. If this continues, the entire Sea City will be blown up!”
Ye Qiluo did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so crazy as to condense this power to such an extent. Actually, it was already enough just now. Why did he have to pursue such an extreme? This brought about unimaginable danger.
If he did not condense it well and let this power explode, the two of them would not be able to escape, let alone Sea City.
Even a peak ninth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm expert would die if they encountered this thing at such a close distance, let alone Li Yuanqing who was at the sixth grade of Formation Arrangement Realm.
Ye Qiluo was terrified. Although the situation was so critical, she did not abandon Li Yuanqing and leave alone.
However, she could not understand why Li Yuanqing had become so crazy at this moment. Wasn’t the Young Master Li who had always been gentle and quiet, the Li Yuanqing who did not say anything or have many emotions?
But why was Li Yuanqing so different today? Could it be that this huge power had changed this man?
