Chapter 2260: Chapter 737: Ambushed on the Road, Huiyang True Monarch! (Part 2)
"Take action!"
Shen Baishuang said to Lu Changsheng and the others, then raised an endless crimson cloud, gracefully and mightily attacking the Six Paths Demon Consort.
The Six Paths Demon Consort sat high on the pill platform, her graceful figure unmoving, only controlling the White Bone Palace to form a gigantic ghostly shadow to confront Shen Baishuang.
Below the Dao Palace, demon beasts, ghosts, and dao soldiers continuously lined up, forming a formation as the primordial energy of this White Bone Palace.
"Screech!!!"
Above Shen Baishuang’s head, the ancient mirror shone brilliantly, and the golden ancient sword in her hand transformed into a golden divine phoenix, aiming to destroy the gigantic ghostly shadow above the palace.
But the ghostly shadow roared, its two gigantic ghost hands tightly gripping the divine phoenix, and then the palace charged directly at Shen Baishuang, seemingly trying to shatter her into pieces.
Above Shen Baishuang’s head, the ancient mirror radiated brilliant light, forming layers of light screens, while the red long silk sealed off the world like a heavenly curtain.
"I wonder if the system can draw such a giant artifact."
Lu Changsheng looked at the palace in front of him with some envy.
He hoped that someday, when drawing lots, the system would give him such a gigantic artifact.
Without much thought, seeing the cultivators from the Goddess Palace nearby helping Shen Baishuang resist the White Bone Palace, Lu Changsheng summoned the magical treasure [Iron Wood Magic Wand] into his hand.
However, in such a Nascent Soul level battle, unless he exerted his utmost effort, there was very little he could do as a Core Formation cultivator.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Crimson light and the White Bone Palace continually collided, erupting in thrilling waves of mana.
Despite each clash appearing evenly matched, neither side gaining the upper hand.
Yet fighting until now, the Six Paths Demon Consort remained high upon the palace pill platform, motionless, as if merely watching a play.
In this situation, their strengths were already apparent.
"Second Palace Master, should we retreat?"
At this moment, a cultivator from the Goddess Palace transmitted a message to Shen Baishuang.
Now, while they were still in decent condition, if they dispersed and fled, many of them might return to the Goddess Palace.
Once their mana was depleted, then regardless of Shen Baishuang’s desire to retreat, most of them would likely fall into the hands of the Six Paths Palace.
"Go all out, no holding back!"
However, Shen Baishuang directly shouted at this person, then transmitted a message: "Xuanmu Elder, release your Fourth Rank Puppet, all costs and expenses will be compensated by this Palace Master!"
"..."
Lu Changsheng was speechless, not understanding what the Second Palace Master wanted to do.
The Six Paths Demon Consort clearly had other means, and there were several Nascent Soul cultivators within the palace.
In this situation, unless he exerted himself fully, allowing Qian Zhuyan to form a puppet battle array, it seemed impossible to reverse the situation.
But recalling the divinatory symbols, it was best to cling tightly to Shen Baishuang’s leg, using the Goddess Palace to avert disaster, so Lu Changsheng gently patted the spiritual pet bag, releasing Qian Zhuyan.
"Little Yan."
Lu Changsheng indicated for Qian Zhuyan to stay by his side, to act normally for now, not to deploy the puppet battle array.
Although deploying the puppet battle array might reverse the situation.
Yet, Lu Changsheng felt Shen Baishuang couldn’t be so reckless as to fight such a meaningless battle, thus continuing to observe for a while.
The main reason being Qian Zhuyan’s puppet battle array was truly astounding.
One person operating over ten puppets, a force comparable to a Nascent Soul True Lord.
He had already demonstrated numerous abilities far surpassing those of the same realm, further showcasing such shocking means would likely attract further attention from both the Goddess Palace and the Six Paths Palace, not aligning with the divinatory symbols’ strategy of steady advancement.
"Boom boom boom!"
Although Qian Zhuyan didn’t deploy the puppet battle array, the combat power of even just the Fourth Rank Puppet was remarkable enough, drawing glances from several people nearby.
"So this is Xuanmu Daoist’s Fourth Rank Puppet!"
"Possessing a Fourth Rank Puppet, unless facing a Nascent Soul True Lord, one stands undefeated!"
Although they had heard that Lu Changsheng possessed a Fourth Rank Puppet, they had not seen it with their own eyes.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with envy and a fiery gaze.
Even Shen Baishuang took a few glances at Qian Zhuyan, the Fourth Rank Puppet.
"Fourth Rank Puppet? No... this is not an ordinary Fourth Rank Puppet... how interesting it’s becoming."
At the White Bone Palace, a graceful figure on the pill platform was slightly surprised upon seeing the tall and war machine-like Qian Zhuyan and then studied it carefully, suddenly covering her mouth with a light laugh.
The alabaster hands, as if a perfect work of art, with fingers resembling young snakes, sensed their owner’s pleasure, radiating a scarlet glow, flicking their tongues, sinister yet seductive.
"Make a move."
The Six Paths Demon Consort’s red lips slightly parted, her voice sultry and captivating yet exuding an indescribable authority.
As her words fell, all the demon beasts and ghosts below the steps of the White Bone Palace roared in unison, their Qi Mechanism wildly intertwining.
The Core Formation cultivators who accompanied the Six Paths Demon Consort to Black Reef Island also acted, fully supporting the White Bone Palace, causing a dim light to flow over its surface, as if countless Ghost Kings were emerging.
However, at that moment, the void of heaven and earth suddenly shattered.
A grandiose gate, gleaming brightly as though built from gold and jade, appeared from the void, towering dozens of feet high, then crashed down towards the White Bone Palace.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Just as the White Bone Palace shifted, Qi Mechanism circulated, enhancing its attack might, causing its defense to drop.
At this point, the golden jade gate fell, causing a tremendous earth-shaking sound, making the White Bone Palace tremble, its bones clattering, countless ghost souls wailing, while the surrounding void shattered.
"Zhongli Ming, you again, do you truly think I fear you?"
The voice of the Six Paths Demon Consort on the pill platform was icy, filled with chilling killing intent.
She naturally knew that Shen Baishuang’s bold provocation meant she had a backup plan.
But seeing it was Zhongli Ming, who had provoked her several times, a surge of anger arose in her heart.
"Shen Baishuang, is this the basis of your provocation against me? Well, given your strength, without relying on a man, how could you dare oppose me."
The Six Paths Demon Consort said again to Shen Baishuang, but from her icy and authoritative words, it was clear that this Demon Consort was no longer as relaxed and leisurely as before.
"Huiyang True Monarch, Zhongli Ming!"
Lu Changsheng instantly recognized who had arrived upon hearing the name Zhongli Ming.
One of the renowned veteran Nascent Soul cultivators of the Starry Sky Sea.
Although not as strong as the Six Paths Demon Lord, Shen Jianjia, his strength was still extraordinary, no weaker than the Six Paths Demon Consort.
As for why this Huiyang True Monarch suddenly came to aid Shen Baishuang and what enmity he had with the Six Paths Demon Consort, Lu Changsheng was unclear.
The other Goddess Palace cultivators nearby were visibly relieved and invigorated upon seeing Huiyang True Monarch come to help.
"Humph, I have long stated that I will use my Heavenly Gate to smash your White Bone Demon Palace to pieces, to commemorate my disciple’s life!"
Huiyang True Monarch emerged from the void, with looks above average and stature not particularly tall, yet possessing a majestic presence, landing forcefully on the golden jade gate, causing this gate to radiate divine light, continuously pressing down on the White Bone Palace.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Even though the Six Paths Demon Consort’s White Bone Palace was extraordinary, facing the attack from Shen Baishuang and Huiyang True Monarch, along with Lu Changsheng and others, it trembled wildly, its flowing dark light constantly shattering, as if releasing endless wraiths, wailing and howling.
"Use whatever means you have!"
Shen Baishuang saw that her cultivators were not yet giving it their all and spoke with voice full of authority, wanting to seize this opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to the Six Paths Demon Consort.
If not capturing or killing her, at least heavily damaging her White Bone Demon Palace, forcing her into a miserable retreat!
"Yes!"
The Goddess Palace Core Formation cultivators all knew the Second Palace Master’s temperament, and if they held back now, they might be remembered spitefully.
And although Shen Baishuang had a fiery and unruly personality, she was very generous in gratitude, knowing that if they could heavily wound the Six Paths Demon Consort today, she wouldn’t be stingy with rewards.
"Boom boom boom!"
These Core Formation cultivators all used their most hidden techniques, unleashing top-level divine skills.
Lu Changsheng saw Shen Baishuang glance at him, his face twitching, aware that as a "Nourishing Life Technique Cultivator", it wasn’t suitable for him to display divine skills, so he had no choice but to use external objects, throwing out a stack of Third Rank Talismans to form a Talisman Formation.
