Chapter 676: Chapter 642: Profiting from a Fisherman’s Gain in Vain
As the teal beam took control of the Crimson Fla, countless thin threads like long needles, branched out from the mirror held aloft by Hongxi and pierced into the Crimson Fla’s body.
Almost like a dying candle in the wind, Crimson Fla’s vermilion and black body was restless.
Li Fan keenly noticed the teal threads seed to be extracting sothing. The Crimson Fla was slowly shrinking and its montum was continuously weakening.
Though Crimson Fla tried to break free, it was like an insect stuck in a spider’s web. The more it struggled, the tighter the threads bound it.
The grand teal net tightly locked onto the Crimson Fla.
Its ungraceful state was in stark contrast to its Essence of Heaven and Earth Unity Power that Li Fan rembered from its previous lives, where it had at least put up a good fight even in defeat.
“The power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth cos from Heaven and Earth. The Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array can replace the heaven, severing its connection with heaven and earth. No wonder Crimson Fla seems so weak.” Witnessing the pitiful plight of Crimson Fla, Li Fan couldn’t help but think to himself.
He wondered if the Array could also suppress Mo Sha. “If Mo Sha continues to be refined, will Heaven and Earth deliver a stronger Essence of Heaven and Earth?”
Just when everyone in the Misthaven Ocean was convinced that the final outco was set.
A huge hand suddenly erged from beneath the sea surface.
In the blink of an eye, the hand closed into a fist, trapping both Hongxi and Crimson Fla within its grip!
“Tianyang!” Li Fan was able to recognize the origin of the huge hand almost instantly.
However, when Tianyang revealed himself this ti, he did not proclaim his signature phrase, “Tianyang never backs down.” Instead, he quietly hid beneath the two locked in standoff.
Seizing the opportunity, he trapped them both.
“You’re courting death!” Hongxi’s face turned livid as he faced Tianyang’s sneak attack.
While carefully maintaining the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array, he manipulated his power to attack the hand from all angles, like mountains crashing into massive fingers.
“Boom!”
To Hongxi’s surprise, the giant hand didn’t respond to his attack. It let the manifested mountains penetrate it. The mont of impact shattered the mountains as if they had t sothing a hundred tis harder.
Hongxi’s body trembled slightly. The enormous recoil almost caused him to lose control of the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array.
Crimson Fla, trapped within the array, sensed an opportunity and ceased struggling.
It only stored up its power, waiting for Hongxi to show a flaw.
“Damn it!” Hongxi, stung by the setback, cursed under his breath. Realizing it was pointless to deal with Tianyang’s giant hand, he fully activated the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array and started refining Crimson Fla.
Tianyang, now sentient and getting stronger thanks to Li Fan’s relentless strengthening, would not let Hongxi’s plans succeed that easily.
The five fingers of the giant hand turned red in an instant, as if Terrestrial Fla Magma was flowing through it. So Magma even erged from the Puppet’s body, forming what seed like symbols out of thin air.
Like fire dragons circling around, they soon ford a complete Array, trapping both Hongxi and Crimson Fla within.
“Terrestrial Fla Genesis Array!” Li Fan’s eyes sparkled at once.
“Looks like Tianyang has gone through considerable transformation, he’s not just using brute force anymore, he has also started to use Array Techniques!”
“Hongxi was too greedy. He refused to avoid an attack even though it would take a long ti to cast the Array. He just can’t give up control over the Essence of Heaven and Earth.”
“Now it’s a race between the two to see who is quicker. Will Hongxi be the first to deplete and kill Crimson Fla, stepping into the Unity Realm, or will Tianyang be the one to completely drain Hongxi and beco a Unity Immortal Monarch?”
With that thought in mind, Li Fan continued to watch the standoff in the sky.
However, so cultivators within Misthaven City just couldn’t sit still.
“Essence of Heaven and Earth belongs to the virtuous! Fellow Daoists, the chance to defy destiny and change our fates is right before our eyes!”
Urged on by so instigators, dozens or even hundreds of cultivators were unable to resist the temptation and launched an attack on the standoff trio.
Everyone hoped that they would be the lucky person to benefit from the situation and soar to the skies.
Li Fan saw that He Zhenghao couldn’t resist and was about to join the attack, but then, apparently coming to his senses half-way, he turned back.
“Just a bit longer, just a bit longer,” Li Fan heard He Zhenghao mutter to himself.
With his eyes tightly shut and body quivering, it was clear that he was currently suppressing his imnse desire.
Li Fan sneered, returning his attention back to Tianyang and the others.
Tianyang was pushing the Terrestrial Fla Genesis Array to its limit. Terrestrial Fla Magma was constantly being ejected from the sea floor of Misthaven Ocean, forming a unique spectacle of a fire dragon erging from the sea. Li Fan knew that this was Tianyang going all out to draw upon the force of the Terrestrial Fla.
Originally, the power of Terrestrial Fla was affiliated with and restricted by the Leyline, making it not easily controllable by cultivators.
But previously, Hongxi attempted to force out Crimson Fla by activating the Heaven Yuan Life Formation, which ended up completely destroying the Leyline of the Misthaven Ocean.
This caused the Terrestrial Fla Magma to gush out freely, completely unchecked, just like a wild horse, allowing the Terrestrial Fla Genesis Array to operate at 200% its normal efficiency.
So, in a way, Hongxi was digging his own grave.
Noticing that his energy was being drained faster than Crimson Fla, Hongxi’s complexion went through several changes.
At this juncture, if he retreated and gave up on suppressing Crimson Fla, focusing all his energy on escaping the [Earth Fire Reversal Array], he might have been able to break free.
But using the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array ant only one chance. After it was deployed, the mirror would turn into a mundane object. It could only be reused after it was recharged back at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters. This ant that if the process was interrupted, all his efforts would have been for naught.
He might survive, but any thoughts of advancing to Unity-Path would have to be abandoned.
Whereas if he choose to fight to the death, life-threatening as it was, there was still a chance he might achieve Unity-Path domain! Once accomplished, he would be free to go wherever he pleased and his destiny would drastically change!
With a ferocious expression, Hongxi made his final decision in a split second.
A light burst forth from his body, launching an attack on the Terrestrial Fla Genesis Array in an attempt to slow down his own refining and absorption process.
Hongxi was undaunted, completely forgetting everything else around him. With deep focus, he manipulated the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array, suppressing and refining Crimson Fla.
Ti passed, second by second, and the Crimson Fla’s body grew dimr and dimr.
It was now extrely transparent and seed to be on the brink of disappearing into thin air.
“Die!”
“Hongxi yelled furiously, transforming into a beam of earth-yellow light, heading straight for the Crimson Fla.
At the sa ti, the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit Array also erupted with its most radiant light yet.
The teal and yellow intertwined, like a sharp sword ready to pierce the Crimson Fla’s body.
