Chapter 1233: All Means Exhausted

As soon as the Sea-Suppressing Ape appeared, its body surged with dense blue electrical arcs, making it resemble a thunder god.

The Sea-Suppressing Ape clapped its hands on its chest, then opened its mouth. A blue light shot out, instantly transforming into a blue lightning orb the size of a water vat. Carrying a violent aura, it hurtled towards the golden Luan bird.

Yuan Gang dared not let the puppet beast take the hit directly, so he quickly maneuvered the golden Luan bird to dodge.

Just then, numerous blue light spots suddenly appeared above the golden Luan bird's head. After blurring, they transformed into a blue iron chain as thick as an adult's arm. The blue chain swooped down, binding the golden Luan bird.

This was the Spirit Art, Demon-Binding Chain, a technique also known by other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Numerous golden electrical arcs surged across the golden Luan bird's body, causing the blue chain's spiritual light to dim.

Seizing this opportunity, the blue lightning orb struck the golden Luan bird.

Boom! A dazzling blue lightning enveloped the golden Luan bird, covering an area of dozens of yards in blue light.

A loud whooshing sound pierced the air as a golden light blade, over a hundred yards long, shot forth, rapidly disappearing into the blue lightning.

Clang! With a dull thud, the golden Luan bird was sent flying backward. Its body had a shallow cut, barely noticeable without close inspection.

Yuan Gang frowned, just as he was about to employ other tactics, a sharp, piercing roar echoed.

He felt his qi and blood churn, his body grow weak, and he was unable to mobilize even a trace of spiritual power.

This was the Spirit-Suppressing Roar, the Sea-Suppressing Ape's unique divine ability, which could temporarily deprive cultivators of their spiritual power. After the Sea-Suppressing Ape reached the fourth tier, its Spirit-Suppressing Roar could even affect late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Yuan Gang and Fire Cloud Hermit, who were both early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

A series of sharp whooshing sounds filled the air as three streaks of green light shot forth, instantly reaching Yuan Gang.

Countless green runes lit up on Yuan Gang's body, forming a hazy green light barrier. A lifelike green python slithered restlessly across the surface of the green light barrier, as if alive.

The three green streaks struck the green light barrier, producing three dull thuds, and a large expanse of green electrical arcs surged forth, hitting the green light barrier.

These were Wood Divine Thunder. The green arrows could release Wood Divine Thunder, but after releasing it, it took time to recharge.

The green python let out a pained hiss, its tail twitching incessantly, and the green light barrier's spiritual light dimmed.

A tremendous roar of thunder came from high above. A blue thundercloud, over a hundred yards in size, appeared in the sky, with streaks of blue lightning snakes flickering within.

A golden light blade, over a hundred yards long, descended from the sky, striking the green light barrier.

With a dull thud, the green light barrier instantly shattered. Fortunately, Yuan Gang blocked with his right hand, and a large patch of green scales appeared on his arm.

With a dull thud, the golden light blade was blocked by the green scales on Yuan Gang's arm. Under the impact of immense force, he staggered back several steps.

Boom! A tremendous roar of thunder came from high above. Fist-sized blue lightning orbs began falling from the blue thundercloud, striking towards Yuan Gang.

Yuan Gang was startled and tried to dodge, but a rapid ringing sound echoed. He felt an intense pain in his spiritual consciousness, and his face contorted.

By the time he reacted, a torrent of blue lightning orbs had crashed down, engulfing Yuan Gang.

"Divine Water Thunder!" Yuan Gang's voice, filled with both shock and anger, suddenly erupted.

Wang Changsheng slammed his right hand into the void below. Ripples spread above the blue lightning, and a blue giant palm, over ten yards in size, materialized, striking down forcefully. A mournful scream resounded, followed by a loud crash from the ground.

A blue light flashed, and an egg-sized blue orb suddenly appeared, its surface shimmering with faint mist. It was precisely the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

After a blur, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl rapidly expanded to the size of a small mountain, hurtling down towards Yuan Gang below.

Just then, the blue sea of lightning abruptly burst open, and a blue light blade, over a hundred yards long, shot out, cleaving towards the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl remained unharmed, but its descent slowed.

Seizing this chance, Yuan Gang transformed into a streak of green light and fled through the air. He realized he had been careless; Wang Changsheng actually cultivated the Sea-Suppressing Sect's guardian technique and possessed a fourth-tier Sea-Suppressing Ape.

While there were many ape-type spirit beasts, only the Sea-Suppressing Ape was a blue ape spirit beast that possessed both the Spirit-Suppressing Roar and Water-Adamantine Divine Thunder abilities.

As Yellow Dragon Island was an affiliated force of the Sun and Moon Palace, Yuan Gang naturally knew about the unique spirit arts of the Sea-Suppressing Sect's three guardian techniques and the Sea-Suppressing Ape.

Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't let him escape. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he prepared to use other methods, but then a dozen golden bolts of lightning, as thick as an adult's arm, struck towards him, and the golden Luan bird lunged at him.

Wang Changsheng dared not be careless. His Grand Clarity Spirit-Slaying Blade continuously danced, as wisps of mist surged forth, forming a blue light blade over a hundred yards long, which he swung towards the golden Luan bird.

Boom! A series of roars erupted. The blue light blade shattered more than a dozen golden lightning bolts and struck the golden Luan bird. The golden Luan bird flew backward for over ten yards, a shallow cut marring its surface.

Seizing this excellent opportunity, Yuan Gang fled several hundred yards away. Just then, a sharp roar echoed.

Spirit-Suppressing Roar! Yuan Gang once again temporarily lost his spiritual power and stopped. A flicker of annoyance crossed his eyes.

A large torrent of blue lightning orbs descended from the sky, crashing fiercely towards Yuan Gang.

Yuan Gang swung the broken blue blade in his hand upwards. With a flash of blue light, numerous blue light blades shot out, cleaving towards the falling blue lightning orbs.

Boom! A tremendous roar of thunder rang out as dazzling blue lightning blasts exploded in the sky, like fireworks.

Yuan Gang had not possessed this spirit treasure for long. Spirit treasures were not ordinary magic treasures and were not easily repaired. Otherwise, he would not have feared Wang Changsheng.

Seeing the Sea-Suppressing Ape about to employ other tactics, Yuan Gang conjured an egg-sized crimson orb, which transformed into a streak of red light and struck towards the Sea-Suppressing Ape. At the same time, he performed a hand seal, and a large expanse of green flames surged out from the massive green cauldron. After blurring, they transformed into a green fire dragon over thirty yards long, pouncing towards the Sea-Suppressing Ape.

The Sea-Suppressing Ape's furry arms instantly grabbed the green fire dragon's body. With a forceful tear, the green fire dragon's body abruptly exploded, and surging green flames engulfed the Sea-Suppressing Ape.

A blue light flared within the green sea of flames, and the flames swiftly extinguished.

The Sea-Suppressing Ape was completely unharmed. It possessed the bloodline of a Mountain-Yue Giant Ape, and its divine abilities were far superior to those of ordinary fourth-tier spirit beasts.

A crimson orb appeared before it, suddenly exploding. A torrent of crimson-golden flames engulfed the Sea-Suppressing Ape's body, and the Sea-Suppressing Ape, uncharacteristically, let out a shriek, seemingly having suffered considerable injury.

Yuan Gang's escape light intensified, and he flew towards the sky.

Just then, a rapid ringing sound echoed. An unbearable sharp pain surged through Yuan Gang's spiritual consciousness, and his speed slowed.

A purple beam of light, about a yard in diameter, descended from the sky, accurately striking Yuan Gang.

This was Purple Moon Profound Light, the unique spirit art of Fairy Purple Moon.
