698 Peerless Nine Li (2)
“Oh no! Stop it!”
Everyone could not be bothered to escape. They separated and blocked the chains.
They had mostly partic.i.p.ated in the fusion of the Netherworld fragments previously and were quite familiar with this.
Streams of light turned into ropes and wrapped around the chain.
!!
However, the force coming from the chain was shocking.
Hundreds of Earth Immortals could not stand still. Together with the alms bowl, they were dragged back into the pa.s.sageway that they had just escaped!
Jiang Li did not hesitate to flash over and grab the chain before firmly stabbing his feet into the ground.
His terrifying strength poured into the chain. After a moment of stalemate, the ground beneath his feet could not withstand it.
His feet suddenly shattered the ground below and were dragged forward, creating two deep ravines.
Under the compet.i.tion of the tug of war, that monster defeated Jiang Li.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth. There were hundreds of Earth Immortals behind him pulling the chains with him.
However, this did not stop the chain from being pulled over.
“Cut the chains! Quick!”
One of the cultivators pulling the chain shouted.
Actually, there was no need for him to say that.
Two of the three divine pillars had long been brewing spiritual light in their hands.
The spiritual lights, one blue and one red, finally turned into two sharp swords.
The Sea Palace Master held the blue sword, Sea Moon Desolate Yin Sword.
The leader of the Flame Dynasty held a red sword, Blazing Sun Verdant Yang Sword.
One was water and the other was fire. One was Yin and the other was Yang. They should have been irreconcilable.
However, at this moment, they were close to each other, complementing each other.
The two of them held the divine art light swords and flashed to Jiang Li’s left and right.
In their hands, the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Light Swords slashed out at the same time, and they pressed on a section of the chain.
Verdant Yang! Desolate Yin! Oblivion Slas.h.!.+
Two sword lights with completely opposite attributes pointed at the same place at the same time.
Jiang Li gasped just thinking about that scene.
How terrifying would the collision of these two forces be?
It was so close. Was he going to lose another layer of skin?
However, the imagined huge explosion did not happen.
The two swords of fire and water had actually combined.
Not a trace of power leaked out. The two energies annihilated each other in an extremely small area, erupting with ten times the power.
He did not expect that the Sea Palace and the Flame Dynasty, these two divine pillars, had secretly cultivated a joint attack technique at some point in time.
What no one knew was that the Fire and Water Imperial Preceptors from five thousand years ago actually came from the same sect.
They entered the city as officials one after another and had always acted like enemies.
It was so that the previous Qin Emperors could hand over the authority to them in peace.
Such a trick made many generations of emperors think that they had established a balance between the two Imperial Preceptors and felt at ease.
However, in private, these two factions were really on the same side.
Although the two sides were really divided into two forces later on, the connection between them was not severed.
The power of this combined slash was even more shocking.
In Jiang Li’s senses, its might had definitely surpa.s.sed the palm of the City G.o.d’s statue.
It was only inferior to the core power of the self-destruction of a Heaven-rank artifact.
“Did it succeed?”
Under the illumination of the dazzling white light, Jiang Li widened his eyes. He could only see some metal fragments shooting in the air.
Only by cutting this chain could they retreat with the dragon vein.
They would think of a way to deal with this monster in the future.
However, the huge force that still did not stop made Jiang Li know that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
After the white light dissipated, he looked at the place where it was struck by the power of water and fire.
The chains there only became a little thinner.
From the looks of it, it had been destroyed by water and fire. A layer of the outer sh.e.l.l had been broken, and the core was not really injured.
It was no wonder that such a terrifying chain could trap the Dragon Vein Ancestor for thousands of years and prevent him from escaping.
Wait, that’s the…?!
Jiang Li’s pupils constricted.
Through the split sh.e.l.l, Jiang Li saw the very familiar black chain and the ancient words engraved on it.
Wasn’t that the earliest artifact he had obtained, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock?
If not for the fact that his Dragon Imprisoning Lock was still wrapped around his waist, Jiang Li almost thought that someone had transmigrated and stolen his chain.
This chain that trapped the dragon vein had the aura of an artifact.
Although it was sufficiently st.u.r.dy, Jiang Li did not think in that direction at the beginning.
He did not expect such a coincidence.
Back then, the Qin Dynasty had also obtained a Dragon Imprisoning Lock.
They could not refine and repair the Dragon Imprisoning Lock either.
However, they were smart to wrap another layer of iron skin around the chain and refine the outer layer into an artifact to carve runes.
Although it could not recover the power of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock, it was much more powerful than a solid chain.
Jiang Li had never expected this to happen.
Now, his Dragon Imprisoning Lock began to recover under the nourishment of the power of virtuous merit, so it was useless.
However, now was clearly not the time to think about this.
The Dragon Imprisoning Lock was indestructible. At the very least, Jiang Li had never seen the power that could break it.
It seemed that he could not easily escape with the dragon vein today.
Suddenly, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock on his waist sent him a message.
Now, he could only try everything he could.
The Dragon Imprisoning Lock on his waist automatically popped out. The buckle on one side buckled the area that was destroyed by the power of water and fire, breaking through the outer skin.
Then, the runes on the Dragon Imprisoning Lock emitted a faint fluorescent light. The chain binding the dragon vein was also affected. The runes wrapped in the iron skin also began to flicker.
“Everyone, we need to buy more time!”
The Dragon Imprisoning Lock would still take some time. With the speed at which they were pulled back, they definitely could not last until then.
Jiang Li made up his mind. It seemed that he had to let himself go!
After closing his eyes, he opened them again, and there seemed to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in his eyes.
The extremely chaotic heart in his chest beat without any pattern.
His skin turned red, and Jiang Li let out a painful gasp. All his strength was starting to go berserk!
Pew!
The Netherworld Mountain Robe swelled up from the airflow. Every pore in Jiang Li’s body suddenly emitted blood-colored steam!
The Spirit Surging Technique that he had been using to divert top-grade spiritual qi and blood energy had already reached the maximum level.
This caused a vast amount of dual-colored energy to quickly swell in his body, rus.h.i.+ng through his limbs, bones, and meridians like a hurricane.
However, the top-grade dual-colored energy gradually converged and was quickly absorbed back into his body.
It was not for any other reason, but because the spiritual qi and blood energy were all absorbed by the dark red muscles on his body and swept away.
At the same time, Jiang Li’s lifespan that had reached tens of thousands of years began to decrease.
The dark red muscles swelled, and Jiang Li’s body began to grow.
The skin on his body was stretched until it was thin and transparent.
From time to time, it would be torn apart and grow back.
Even a pair of horns grew out of his forehead.
After fusing Chi You’s muscles with his own, Jiang Li could make it obedient.
However, this did not mean that his muscles had lost the ability to go berserk!
Jiang Li, who was continuously absorbing life and spiritual qi, erupted with his strength again.
“By the power of the peerless Nine Li Race!”
“Stop! Stop moving!”
He roared and straightened his body!
Blood spurted out from his entire body.
His skin cracked again because of the swelling muscles.
The chain, which was under immense pressure, had a large number of cracks on the surface.
The speed at which the Divine Judgment Hall was dragged forward finally slowed down and completely stopped.
Finally, they temporarily resisted the pull of the ancient monster.
Roar!
On the other side of the chain, the st.i.tched monster seemed to be puzzled.
In the past, as long as it pulled this chain, it could pull food for itself.
However, this time, it could not be pulled.
This made the abnormally manic ancient st.i.tched creature even angrier.
It wrapped the chain around its strongest ox hoof, then attached itself to the ground and began to kick.
That ox hoof came from the Kui Ox of the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon. It had the power to stir the four seas.
Even Jiang Li, whose muscles had gone berserk, could not withstand that force.
With a stomp, the foothold under his feet shattered again.
He and the hundred Earth Immortals behind him fell forward and slid far away.
He had no choice but to get up and continue pulling the chain to stall for time.
