Chapter 3265 Lesser Fullness (Self-Destruction)
"All formations return to their origin, forbid!"
Golden runes rapidly intertwined and merged in the air, instantly forming a huge and complex golden cocoon of light around the Ghost Ancestor.
On the cocoon of light, countless runes flowed, emanating a heavy, mountain-like binding force that firmly suppressed the destructive energy about to erupt from the Ghost Ancestor's body.
Yang Rui and Hua Nian stared in disbelief at the scene.
Junior sister's little peaches are amazing!
They could sense that the array power contained within the golden cocoon of light was exquisite and incredibly powerful.
However, Hu Xiaoman's brows furrowed even more.
She could sense that the rate at which the destructive energy within the Ghost Ancestor was rising had exceeded the suppression limit of the Little Peach Formation.
A more insane smile appeared on the Ghost Ancestor's face, which was distorted by its swelling.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Hu Xiaoman outside the golden cocoon of light, and a beast-like roar came from his throat.
"It's no use...it's all useless!"
"Today, all of you must die!"
'They're all going to die!'
"Break for me!"
With his final roar, his body, which had swelled to its limit, suddenly unleashed a devastating impact that defied description!
That energy was no longer just spiritual power, but the purest, annihilating destructive power that he had created after burning his peak Nascent Soul cultivation, his life's essence, and his entire soul!
"boom--!"
A deafening roar, so deep it seemed to tear space itself apart.
The golden cocoon of light constructed by Little Peach couldn't even withstand the destructive torrent for a moment when it came into contact with it.
The countless flowing golden runes on the surface of the cocoon of light dimmed and went out instantly, like candle flames blown out by a gale.
The seemingly indestructible golden array was now as fragile as paper.
With a sickening "crack," it shattered violently, turning into countless golden specks of light flying everywhere.
"puff!"
Little Peach's body trembled violently in mid-air.
Its originally brilliant pink glow began to dim at a visible speed.
The two emerald green leaves on top drooped down, as if they had lost their vitality.
Like a kite with a broken string, it was violently thrown away by the terrifying aftershock of energy, tracing an arc as it crashed towards Hu Xiaoman.
"Young Master..."
Little Peach's aggrieved and weak voice rang in Hu Xiaoman's ears.
"This old man... he's gone mad..."
"Little Peach...can't hold him..."
Hu Xiaoman dodged and caught the little peach, holding it protectively in her arms.
She could sense that Xiao Taozi's life force had weakened to the extreme.
With the formation shattered, the destructive energy torrent, unimpeded, swept wildly in all directions like a flood bursting its banks.
The entire ancient temple trembled and collapsed violently under this force.
On the altar, the writhing, fleshy monster let out an excited shriek.
It stretched out countless tentacles, frantically devouring this destructive energy.
Its already enormous body began to expand once again.
Behind it, the slovenly master's figure swayed precariously in the raging energy storm, like a small boat adrift in a tempestuous sea.
The energy thread connecting him to the monster was taut, as if it might snap at any moment.
The seal set up by Master is about to collapse!
A destructive energy storm swept in, carrying the power to crush everything into dust.
In Yang Rui's pupils, the rapidly expanding light, representing death, was reflected.
His mind went blank.
It’s over.
This time, it's really over.
Without the protection of the formation, in their current state, they wouldn't even have a complete skeleton left under the impact of this self-destruction that could level mountains.
However, in the instant before that destruction came, the body's instincts outpaced thought.
Almost instinctively, Yang Rui turned around abruptly, opened his arms, and tightly protected Hua Nian in his embrace.
He faced the storm of death with his not-so-broad back.
Hua Nian froze completely.
She was held tightly by a tremendous force, her cheek pressed against a warm and powerful chest.
In my ears, I could hear the man's rapid heartbeat, a sound born of nervousness.
The faint scent of medicine mixed with the smell of blood lingered around his nose.
She looked up and could only see his sharply defined jawline and his taut, pale profile.
His eyes no longer held the usual weariness and cynicism, nor the solemnity and scheming he displayed when facing a formidable foe.
Those eyes, which always held a hint of peach blossom color, now reflected only that devastating light, and... a resolute tenderness she had never seen before.
"Brother Yang Rui..."
Hua Nian's voice trembled; she wanted to push him away, to make him run away.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, Yang Rui pressed it back down with even more force.
His arms, like iron hoops, held her firmly in his embrace.
"do not move."
Yang Rui's voice was terribly hoarse, yet unusually calm.
"Little Niannian, don't be afraid."
He looked down at the pretty face in his arms, pale with shock.
Looking into her eyes, which were filled with worry and confusion, I suddenly smiled.
That smile was pale and weak, yet it carried a hint of relieved composure.
"I used to always say I was afraid of dying, but now... I'm actually quite afraid of you dying."
"To die before you, it seems... not so bad."
At this moment, Hua Nian's tears burst forth.
She shook her head desperately, her tears soaking his clothes.
"no, do not want……"
"Brother Yang Rui, I..."
She wanted to tell him that ever since the Nether Sea, ever since he coughed up blood again and again but still stood in front of her, she had never regarded him as that sickly person who needed to be taken care of.
It was the warmth she felt in this cold and cruel world of cultivation after leaving her brother, Hua Yulou.
But now, that light is about to go out.
On the other side, Hu Xiaoman carried Xiao Taozi back to Manzhou Shikong.
She watched the energy storm that was about to engulf everything, watched Yang Rui and Hua Nian embracing each other, preparing to go to their deaths together, watched her master swaying precariously in the storm on the altar...
Her heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand and then crushed.
Unwilling!
Endless resentment and madness erupted from the deepest part of her heart like a volcano!
She can't die!
She hasn't rescued her master yet!
She hasn't found all the Heavenly Stone fragments yet!
She couldn't bear to watch her fourth senior brother and Xiao Niannian die in front of her!
Master's hard work must not be wasted!
Hu Qingye hasn't returned yet!
At this moment, Hu Xiaoman's eyes, which were as calm as an ice lake, were completely stained red with the madness of blood.
