Chapter 687: Chapter 208: Activating the Treasure Seal
BOOM!!!
The White Ice Meteorite descended with tremendous force, piercing through the Green Resilience Light, destroying numerous giant trees, and then crashing onto the mountainside, exploding violently.
Countless shards of hail shot out in all directions, ice fog soared into the sky, quickly enveloping the entire battlefield.
Ning Zhuo’s figure was completely obscured, except for the Three Generals Camp, standing unified amidst the sea of fire, holding firm their formation.
Earth Element—Earth Escape Technique!
Ning Zhuo kept diving deeper into the earth.
A layer of white frost covered his body, the cold continuously intensifying, fiercely eroding him.
“Even if I cast three spells in succession, I still can’t withstand a single spell from the Heavenly Ghost!”
Ning Zhuo’s heart was filled with dread.
This face-to-face confrontation clearly revealed the vast difference between the two sides.
“This must be the strongest enemy I have faced head-on, right?”
Speaking of which, Lord Long was undoubtedly stronger than Tian Shuang, but in the previous ambush, it was the White Jade Camp that held the front line against Lord Long. Ning Zhuo participated in the battle, but he was merely alongside Sun Lingtong, playing the role of the Old Monster in Stone, reaping benefits here and there on the battlefield.
At this moment, he was not only facing Tian Shuang head-on but also resisting the main force of Tian Shuang, immediately feeling an unprecedented immense pressure.
“Cough cough.”
Ning Zhuo suddenly coughed, and tiny ice particles appeared in the blood he spat out.
He was secretly shocked because his healing magic had already been activated, but its effect was minimal.
“Little Zhuo, use the Warm Fire Pill to heal.” Sun Lingtong timely reminded.
Ning Zhuo followed the advice without hesitation, immediately swallowing a Warm Fire Pill. He activated his mana, quickly channeling the medicinal power, and indeed, it took effect rapidly. Not only did a warm current surge through his body, dispelling the cold, but even the white frost on the surface of his body gradually melted.
“My Five Elements Magic leans towards offense and destruction, I haven’t put much effort into healing.”
Facing this unprecedentedly strong enemy, Ning Zhuo immediately recognized his own shortcomings.
“The combat power of the Three Generals Camp is already struggling against an Earth Ash, I shouldn’t reunite with them; instead, I should entangle Tian Shuang and the Heavenly Ghost as much as possible, to buy time for the Three Generals Camp to retreat first!”
With the Mechanical Dragon at his side, giving him the ability to perform the Nascent Soul’s Sky Escape Technique, Ning Zhuo, while feeling considerable pressure from the formidable enemy, did not panic.
He had been continually investing in the Three Generals Camp. If they were to be completely annihilated in this battle, it would be an enormous loss for him.
“Next, I’ll cast spells from underground, attacking Tian Shuang from afar!”
Earth Element—Flying Rock • Standing Cone.
Just as Ning Zhuo was about to aim at Tian Shuang, his divine sense suddenly reacted. He immediately changed his attack direction, shooting the cone-shaped rock downward at various spots.
A series of ghostly wails and screams ensued.
The ghosts’ ambush was discovered by Ning Zhuo, who ruthlessly thwarted them once, but still, dozens of ghosts continued to charge at Ning Zhuo from below.
These ghosts were pitch black, with fiery red lava cracks running across their bodies, exuding intense heat.
They were all well-versed in Earth Escape Technique, navigating underground as if fish in water.
“Earth Melting Ghosts!”
Ning Zhuo cried out in his heart, casting spells to form a second wave of attacks.
Although he once again killed many Earth Melting Ghosts, even more ghosts continued to surge forward incessantly.
Sun Lingtong, utilizing the Mechanical Dragon, scouted much further than Ning Zhuo. He immediately warned, “Little Zhuo, don’t stay in one place.”
“Understood!” Ning Zhuo immediately fought while moving, killing numerous Earth Melting Ghosts along the way.
Suddenly, he felt an intense chill arising out of nowhere, invading him inside out with violent erosion.
In just a few breaths’ time, his movements slowed, his limbs stiffened, and frost covered his eyebrows.
Sun Lingtong urgently reminded, “Tian Shuang is attacking you! But how he’s doing it is unclear.”
Ning Zhuo used his divine sense for internal inspection, “It’s my soul! His attack is emanating from my soul, harming my physical body.”
Divine Skill—Frost Soul Gaze!
White-robed ghost cultivator Tian Shuang hovered high in the sky, making sword-finger gestures with his right hand, placed vertically in front of his chest, silently operating his divine skill.
His eyes were ghostly white, revealing only the soul forms of living beings in his special vision.
At this moment, he focused intensely on Ning Zhuo’s soul.
He performed this divine skill with intricate subtlety. As long as it lingered on the target for more than three breaths, the cold would envelop the target’s three souls and seven spirits. However, the chill would not first harm the soul but rather extend outward, inflicting damage on the physical body.
After the physical body is frozen and deteriorates, the accumulated terrifying coldness would then recoil, delivering a devastating blow to the cultivator’s soul.
Under Tian Shuang’s glare, Ning Zhuo’s situation took a rapid and critical turn.
He hastily took out various elixir pills, consuming them rapidly. The medicinal power swiftly channeled through his body, either dispelling cold, revitalizing vitality, or restoring flesh and blood.
Ning Zhuo’s battle preparations were quite thorough. Thanks to abundant resources, he had purchased many elixir pills before the battle. The quality of these pills was decent; their quantity made up for any shortcomings.
Fire Element—Flame Cloak!
At this crucial moment, the profound Five Elements Realm showcased its power again. Ning Zhuo, in a critical situation, quickly drained thousands of Mirror Intent in his Divine Sea, forming a Fire Defense Magic.
Flames erupted from the Fire Element Heart Temple, quickly spreading through his flesh and blood. Ning Zhuo’s body from inside out was enveloped in warm fire.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle…
Ning Zhuo endured the scorching flames, his flesh being charred, exuding the smell of grilled meat, like a kebab being roasted.
Tian Shuang’s unique vision immediately detected the change in Ning Zhuo’s body. He sneered and suddenly restrained his divine skill.
Instantly, the cold diminished significantly, causing flames to erupt throughout Ning Zhuo’s body, with the tongues of fire rising three feet above his head.
