507: Battle of the Three Corpses

Red Heaven's palm pierced through Xiao Zhuo's chest, and destructive flames furiously scorched, attempting to instantly incinerate his immortal body and imprison his Divine Soul!

However, the ferocious smile on Red Heaven's face had just appeared when it abruptly froze.

Where he made contact, there was no sensation of tearing flesh and blood; instead, it was like striking through rippling water, an illusory bubble!

The 'Xiao Zhuo' in front of him fluctuated like a reflection in a mirror, quickly becoming transparent and dissipating!

"Afterimage?!" Red Heaven's pupils contracted, and a warning bell rang wildly in his heart.

Almost at the same time, above his head, space was silently torn apart like a curtain!

Xiao Zhuo's Main Body stepped out, Chaos Qi circulated in his eyes, and hundreds of Spirit Groups around him resonated instantly. He opened the five fingers of his right hand, and on each finger, a distinct yet perfectly fused Spirit Script combination leaped: the sharpness of Geng Metal, the vitality of Yi Wood, the coldness of Gui Water, the explosion of Li Fire, and the weight of Wu Earth!

The power of the Five Elements, driven to its extreme by him through the Dao of Spirit Script, formed an incredibly condensed Chaos Great Seal with his five fingers clasped together, as if containing the birth and destruction of a Small World. It carried the power to shatter stars and slammed down with a roar!

"Spirit Group · Five Elements Sky-Collapsing Seal!"

This strike was fast, fierce, and precise! The timing was perfect, at the exact moment when Red Heaven's old strength had just faded, new strength had not yet emerged, and his mind was momentarily stunned from hitting nothing!

"Hmph! Petty tricks!" Red Heaven, though surprised, did not panic. He roared, and his red hair stood on end, transforming into a towering sea of fire. Within the sea of fire, countless destructive runes appeared and vanished, coalescing into a ferocious, roaring giant fiery beast head that opened its mouth to devour the Chaos Great Seal!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying explosion erupted high in the sky, and energy shockwaves spread wildly like a circular tsunami, instantly clearing the clouds above Holy Spirit City. The ground below trembled violently, countless buildings creaked, and cracks spread!

Xiao Zhuo's body flew backward, his Qi and blood slightly churning.

The giant fiery beast head conjured by Red Heaven was also smashed to pieces by the blow, with fiery sparks flying everywhere. His Main Body was even shaken down dozens of feet by this immense force, and the flames around him flickered erratically.

Although not injured, being preemptively repelled by a junior in the Great Luo Realm undoubtedly caused Red Heaven to lose much face.

"Junior! You seek death!" Red Heaven roared in fury, about to pounce again.

"Enough, Red Heaven." The young man in green, Qinglian, spoke indifferently, his voice carrying a strange magical power that caused Red Heaven's furious movements to pause slightly. "Act quickly, lest things change. This child is extraordinary, having self-deduced the Space-Time Immortal Root. He is most slippery. Let's attack together, seal space and time, and do not let him escape."

Golden Source, the dark golden skeleton who had been silently observing the battle, had the pale white flames in his eye sockets flicker. The ancient spear fragment in his hand slowly lifted, and a tragic, majestic, yet indestructible will to protect permeated, instantly enveloping a thousand-mile radius of space!

Space became as solid as divine metal, and the flow of time also seemed to become viscous and slow!

The Severed Corpse Golden Source, using his own sacred skeleton's Dao rhyme combined with the divine weapon fragment that had accompanied his Main Body in countless battles over endless years, forcefully stabilized and sealed this area!

Xiao Zhuo immediately felt his body sink, as if he had fallen into an invisible quagmire. His movements became extremely difficult, and even mobilizing the power of space and time for displacement felt several times more obscure!

"Trouble!" His heart was solemn.

Each of these three Severed Corpses possessed terrifying strength capable of crushing ordinary quasi-saints, and each had distinct characteristics.

The Severed Corpse Red Heaven was violent and destructive, the Severed Corpse Qinglian was unpredictable and cunning, and the Severed Corpse Golden Source was as steady as a mountain, excelling at sealing and suppressing.

Although they were wary of each other and had their own schemes, their goal of capturing him was surprisingly consistent!

Whoosh!

Qinglian's figure silently disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared to Xiao Zhuo's left, his fingers pointed like a sword, countless tiny, dust-like green runes swirling around his fingertips, containing the Dao rhyme of "wan fa (myriad laws) breaking all things." He lightly tapped towards Xiao Zhuo's temple.

This finger, seemingly without any fanfare, caused a stinging pain in Xiao Zhuo's brow, and his Divine Soul was on high alert!

To his right, Red Heaven reappeared, tearing through the Void Realm, both fists striking out simultaneously. His fist-force was like billions of volcanoes erupting at once, destructive flames coalescing into two terrifying meteors that scorched star remains, sealing off all of Xiao Zhuo's evasion space!

Below, Golden Source suppressed space and time with his saintly might, while above, Qinglian and Red Heaven, two top-tier quasi-saints, attacked from both sides!

A deadly trap!

Below, all beings witnessing this scene, whether the people of the Northern Spirit Dynasty or Tian Yidao and Du Mo hidden in the shadows, were all deeply shaken, holding their breath in concentration.

Such a level of encirclement, if any of them were in Xiao Zhuo's position, they would probably not even last a single instant before their body and spirit were utterly destroyed!

Facing this almost insurmountable encirclement, Xiao Zhuo's eyes showed no fear; instead, they burst forth with dazzling divine light!

"Space-Time... Ripple!"

He let out a low cry, and the Space-Time Immortal Root that had just condensed in his Dantian vibrated madly, silver light flashing!

Buzz!

With him at the center, layers of visible silver ripples spread rapidly like water waves!

A strange scene unfolded!

Qinglian's finger that shattered wan fa (myriad laws) and Red Heaven's destructive fists, upon touching these silver ripples, suddenly slowed down dramatically, as if sinking into a quagmire. Their terrifying power was also weakened, guided, and deflected layer by layer by the undulating ripples!

It was not time stopping, but extreme slowing and the application of spatial layering!

At the same time, Xiao Zhuo's ten fingers danced like butterflies through flowers, and the hundreds of Spirit Groups surrounding him combined and transformed at an unprecedented speed!

"Spirit Group · Black Tortoise World-Suppressing Stele!"

"Spirit Group · Kunpeng Sky-Rending Wings!"

"Spirit Group · Stars Shift!"

"Spirit Group · Chaos Calamity Light!"

Countless Spirit Script Divine Abilities for defense, acceleration, force redirection, and counterattack instantly erupted, forming dazzling halos around him!

Boom!!!!

Qinglian's finger-sword and Red Heaven's fists ultimately broke through the obstruction of the Space-Time Ripple, fiercely striking Xiao Zhuo's layered defenses!

An earth-shattering roar sounded, and the dozens of layers of Spirit Script defensive halos set up by Xiao Zhuo shattered layer by layer like fragile glass, exploding into a sky full of light rain!

But he had, after all, gained that crucial sliver of an opening!

Using the terrifying thrust generated by the explosion and the extreme speed of the Kunpeng Sky-Rending Wings, Xiao Zhuo's figure transformed into a distorted stream of light, narrowly passing through the gap in their pincer attack!

Pfft!

Even so, he was still struck by the overflowing terrifying force, a sweetness in his throat. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of pale golden blood, and his aura became slightly disordered.

"Where do you think you're going!" Qinglian's eyes turned cold, seemingly surprised and displeased that Xiao Zhuo could escape from their combined attack. His figure blurred again, pursuing him like a shadow, and the green runes on his fingertips lit up once more.
