Chapter 2034: Danger Everywhere

The Spirit-Locking Talisman is a secret charm typically used to imprison spirit beasts, restricting their movement to a specific area. The "child" talisman is usually implanted within the spirit beast, while the "mother" talisman is kept in a cave dwelling or on the cultivator.

Some high-level cultivators, unwilling to be disturbed after their meditation-induced demise, would use the Spirit-Locking Talisman to imprison a spirit beast. This would protect their meditation cave dwelling from intrusion. Additionally, some rare spirit fruits and herbs, which would wither if forcibly transplanted due to their long growth periods, are often protected by high-level cultivators using formations. Those with better resources might use the Spirit-Locking Talisman to imprison a high-level demonic beast, ensuring the smooth growth of the spirit herbs and fruits, preventing them from being harvested by outsiders.

It’s no wonder Wang Ruyan so easily lured the sixth-tier demonic beast into the formation. It wasn’t that the sixth-tier demonic beast was foolish; rather, it was intentional. A creature capable of cultivating to the sixth-tier, even if it cannot take human form, would not have low intelligence.

When the "mother" talisman of the Spirit-Locking Talisman was destroyed, the colossal blue beast let out a roar. A constantly flickering blue talisman flew out from its body. This blue talisman was smaller.

With a "puff," the "child" talisman spontaneously combusted, turning into ash.

The colossal blue beast let out a deafening roar, causing the void to vibrate and distort.

Wang Changsheng, Yuan Shu, Yu Xin, and Feng Yao felt dizzy, their ears ringing with a "buzzing" sound. They horrifyingly discovered they couldn't channel their magic power.

Seizing this opportunity, two beams of blue light shot from the colossal blue beast's eyes, striking the blue light curtain precisely. The blue light curtain twisted and deformed before quickly returning to normal.

The colossal blue beast's enormous body slammed into the blue light curtain, causing its spiritual light to dim abruptly before shattering like foam.

As soon as the colossal blue beast broke free, it spat out a misty blue glow from its massive mouth, enveloping Yu Xin.

Yu Xin screamed, and a miniature nascent soul flew out of his body, only to be swept into the blue glow and vanish into the beast's mouth.

Yu Xin's eyes dimmed, his legs went limp, and he collapsed.

Wang Changsheng, Feng Yao, and Yuan Shu were aghast; they had never expected such an outcome.

Feng Yao reacted the quickest, flapping his wings lightly, turning into a gust of wind, and disappearing.

Wang Changsheng's body was enveloped by wisps of blue mist, forming layers of water curtains that covered him entirely.

Two beams of blue light shot from the colossal blue beast's eyes, striking Wang Changsheng and Yuan Shu respectively.

The blue light hit the water curtains, which instantly solidified into icy blue layers, emanating a bone-chilling cold.

The colossal beast's tail swept violently, shattering the ice layers into fragments of ice dust. Wang Changsheng had already vanished.

Yuan Shu spat out a misty, watery sound wave that collided with the blue light, nullifying it and disappearing without a trace.

The colossal beast roared skyward, causing the void to vibrate and distort, the ground to crack open, and dust to fly everywhere.

Wang Changsheng, Yuan Shu, Feng Yao, Wang Ruyan, and the talisman soldier all slumped to the ground upon hearing the roar, feeling powerless and unable to move even a shred of magic power.

The colossal beast opened its gaping maw, revealing a row of fearsome fangs. A powerful suction force suddenly appeared, pulling Wang Changsheng, Feng Yao, and Yuan Shu uncontrollably into the beast's mouth. Even Yu Xin's corpse was not spared.

It had been trapped there for many years and hadn't eaten in a long time. For it, Wang Changsheng and the others were merely a light snack.

Upon entering the colossal beast's mouth, an unbearable stench assailed them, and a surge of blue gas billowed out.

Yu Xin's corpse touched the blue gas, making a "sizzling" sound and rapidly decomposing before their eyes.

They traveled down a long, blood-red tube, emerging into a blood-red space about an *mu* in size. The walls were blood-red and uneven, and below was a miniature blue lake that emitted a nauseating stench.

Some flying sand and pebbles flew in, striking Wang Changsheng and the others. As soon as the flying sand and pebbles touched the blue gas, they instantly melted. Yu Xin's corpse plunged into the blue lake, emitting plumes of green smoke, and dissolved into a pool of blood.

Wang Changsheng and the other two recovered their magic power and quickly cast defensive spells on themselves, floating above the blue lake. The blue gas touched their defenses, creating wisps of green smoke.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, let's combine our efforts to break a hole! Otherwise, we will all die."

Wang Changsheng shouted, taking out two Underworld Moon Beads.

He flicked his wrist, and the two Underworld Moon Beads shot out, smashing towards the left wall.

With two muffled thuds, the two Underworld Moon Beads suddenly exploded, splashing a large amount of Underworld Moon Water onto the left wall.

The wall instantly froze, the ice becoming black and rapidly spreading.

The colossal beast seemed to sense something, shaking violently. The blue lake churned, creating waves.

Wang Changsheng and the others dodged, not daring to touch the blue liquid.

Feng Yao glanced at the black ice wall, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Wang Changsheng could acquire treasures like the Heavy Water Thunder Pearl, and other cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage would naturally have other trump cards, differing only in quantity.

Feng Yao flipped his right hand, and with a flash of golden light, a constantly flowing golden talisman appeared in his hand. The talisman had a golden dagger pattern on its surface, emitting terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.

This was a sixth-tier Golden Dagger Spirit-Extinguishing Talisman, comparable to a full-power strike from a Void Refinement cultivator.

Feng Yao chanted incantations, and the Golden Dagger Spirit-Extinguishing Talisman immediately shone with dazzling golden light. The golden dagger seemed alive, flickering and shimmering.

Talismans are generally easy to use compared to formations and cultivation techniques, but higher-level talismans are more cumbersome to control.

Feng Yao threw the Golden Dagger Spirit-Extinguishing Talisman forward, casting several incantations, and lightly shouted, "Rise."

As soon as his voice fell, the Golden Dagger Spirit-Extinguishing Talisman suddenly burst into blinding golden light. The golden dagger shot out from the golden light, its size rapidly expanding into a golden giant blade over a hundred feet long, flickering with spiritual light and astonishing spiritual energy.

"Go."

Feng Yao lightly pointed his finger at the black ice wall. The golden giant blade transformed into a golden rainbow, striking towards the black ice wall.

The golden giant blade struck the black ice wall, which immediately shattered, revealing flesh and faintly visible bones. However, the golden giant blade penetrated only a little before stopping, freezing at a visible rate.

Feng Yao was dumbfounded; the scene before him exceeded his imagination.

It wasn't because of the colossal beast's physical body, but because the black ice layer could actually freeze the golden giant blade. What kind of substance was this?

Yuan Shu's body glowed with blue light, and a "crackling" sound of bones emanated from him. His mane stood up like steel needles, and his eyes turned blood-red.

Yuan Shu roared loudly, causing the void to vibrate and distort. The crack in the flesh wall instantly widened and continued to spread.

Wang Changsheng and Feng Yao felt dizzy, as if their eardrums were about to burst.

After a while, a ten-foot-long crack appeared on the flesh wall.

The colossal beast was attacking Wang Ruyan and the fifth-tier talisman soldier, but a stabbing pain in its abdomen caused its body to tremble violently. It let out a tragic roar and collapsed onto the ground.

With a loud bang, a bloody hole tore open in the colossal beast's abdomen. Wang Changsheng and the other two flew out of the bloody hole, their faces pale and dusty, appearing somewhat disheveled.
