Chapter 2141: Contesting the Mysterious Celestial Object, Fierce Battle Ensues

"This is aura-concealing liquid," Su Yuntao said enthusiastically, taking out a pale blue gourd and offering it to Zheng Qiuyue. "If you apply it all over your body, it can conceal your aura. Would you like to put some on?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Su, but I'm not interested," Zheng Qiuyue tactfully declined. She wouldn't easily trust Su Yuntao.

Wang Changsheng and the others shook their heads, all refusing. They didn't believe Su Yuntao was being so benevolent.

Su Yuntao didn't get angry. He poured out some foul-smelling, fishy liquid from the gourd and applied it all over his body.

"It's almost time," Zhao Hong urged. "The Tier-6 demon beasts seem to be going for the Profound Sky Immortal Fruit."

Su Yuntao and the others dispersed, casting spells to conceal themselves.

"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Sister Wang, Junior Sister Sun, and Junior Sister Ma," Zhao Hong said via a telepathic message, his eyes burning with fervor. "Later, you will hold off the others and buy me time. I'll be responsible for obtaining the Profound Sky object. When we return to the sect, you will also receive credit."

"Senior Brother Zhao, I have a way to seize the Profound Sky object," Ma Qianqian retorted. "You all block the others and buy me time." Obtaining the Profound Sky object would undoubtedly be a huge merit, meaning she wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources for breaking through to the Void Refinement stage. Naturally, she wasn't willing to give in easily.

"Do you think only you have a way?" Zhao Hong retorted, refusing to yield. "Listen to me, you block the others, and I'll be responsible for getting the Profound Sky object."

"Junior Brother Wang and Junior Sister Wang have considerable powers. The three of them working together should be able to stop the others. There's no need for me to follow your orders," Ma Qianqian sneered. This concerned her future cultivation path; no matter what, she wouldn't yield.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exchanged a glance. At this critical moment, they were still unwilling to unite, instead undermining each other. This was not a wise move.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had joined Zhenhai Palace relatively late and had less seniority. They weren't arrogant enough to expect Zhao Hong and his two companions to hold off the other cultivators alone. Furthermore, Wang Changsheng didn't believe it would be so easy to obtain the Profound Sky object.

Everyone wanted to obtain the Profound Sky object; it was an unspoken truth.

Zhao Hong suppressed the rage in his heart and ordered Wang Changsheng and his two companions: "Junior Sister Sun, Junior Brother Wang, Junior Sister Wang, later you will block the others and buy us time."

The three of them agreed. Before entering the Profound Spirit Cave Dwelling, Chen Yueying had repeatedly exhorted them to obey Zhao Hong's orders, so naturally, they wouldn't go against them.

Accompanying a series of deafening beast roars, the ground shook violently. Two streaks of light quickly darted across the sky; they were precisely two Tier-6 demon beasts.

Before long, they appeared above an open area. On the ground, a lit crimson sandalwood incense stick was planted, and a peculiar, exotic fragrance permeated the air.

It was the Myriad Demon Incense, refined from ambergris from a Tier-7 Sea-Overturning Whale and ten-thousand-year-old Golden Cloud Wood. Even Tier-7 demon beasts would find it hard to resist.

Su Yuntao had originally intended to use the Myriad Demon Incense to lure away other Tier-6 demon beasts and take the opportunity to gather rare ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs. Unfortunately, the spirit herbs had been eaten by demon beasts, so it was now perfectly used to lure the Tier-6 demon beasts.

The two demon beasts caught the special scent emanating from the Myriad Demon Incense, and excitedly roared, their eyes turning blood red and their demeanor becoming extremely agitated.

Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, and three hundred and six azure light pillars shot into the sky, soaring directly upwards.

One of the exotic beasts seemed to sense something, and with a fierce flap of its wings, it abruptly vanished from its spot.

The three hundred and six azure light pillars converged, merging into one and forming a dense azure light barrier, which enveloped an area of several hundred miles.

Countless mysterious runes emerged on the surface of the azure light barrier. After a moment of blur, they transformed into patterns of flood dragons, turtles, spirit butterflies, giant apes, and other creatures, featuring over a hundred types of demon beasts.

The Tier-6 trapping formation: Myriad Beasts Spirit Lock Array!

The ground shook violently, and the void twisted and deformed, as if influenced by some mysterious power.

A spiritual light flared in the void, and another exotic beast materialized out of thin air. A mass of crimson flames emerged from its body, enveloping it entirely.

It opened its massive maw, and an incredibly thick pillar of crimson fire swept out, striking the ground.

With a thunderous roar, a massive pit, over a thousand zhang wide, exploded on the ground. The pit showed clear signs of melting, and wisps of green smoke rose from it.

The next moment, streaks of silver light pillars shot into the sky, forming a colossal silver cage which enveloped an area of several hundred miles. The surface of the silver cage was covered with countless silver electric arcs.

The Tier-6 formation: Profound Thunder Demon Eradication Array.

"Why are there only two exotic beasts? Where's the other one!" Ning Lan asked with a frown. There were clearly three Tier-6 demon beasts.

"Plans can't keep up with changes," Sun Lan suggested. "Let's proceed with the third plan! Trapping these two Tier-6 demon beasts is also good." They had formulated multiple plans.

The ground suddenly ruptured, dust billowed everywhere, and countless yellow grains of sand were swept high into the sky by strong winds, forming a massive yellow sand curtain which covered an area of a thousand miles, enveloping both the silver cage and the azure light barrier.

The Tier-6 formation: Yellow Sand Sky Lock Array. Even if the two Tier-6 demon beasts managed to break out of the formations, thirty-six Soul Transformation cultivators controlling the third set of formations would have no problem trapping the two Tier-6 demon beasts for a period of time.

On the other side, the third Tier-6 exotic beast pounced towards the Profound Sky Immortal Fruit, apparently intending to devour it.

Above the exotic beast's head, the void rippled, and a glowing red dragon claw materialized, swiftly striking towards the exotic beast.

A golden light shot out from each of the exotic beast's two horns, destroying the red dragon claw.

A golden light flashed, and a shimmering golden net materialized out of thin air. The net's surface was covered with mysterious runes, and its spiritual energy was astonishing. It was clearly a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

The golden net instantly descended, enveloping the exotic beast's body, and quickly began to contract.

The exotic beast let out an angry roar, a wave of azure flames erupted from its body, and it spat out a red light from its mouth. It struggled fiercely, trying to tear apart the golden net, but it was of no use for now.

A five-colored spiritual light shot over, revealing itself to be a five-colored talisman. Its precious light flickered ceaselessly, and its spiritual energy was astonishing.

With a muffled sound, the five-colored talisman suddenly burst apart, transforming into five-colored spiritual light which enveloped the exotic beast.

The exotic beast immediately stopped struggling and became motionless, as if it had been immobilized.

A red light flared near the Profound Sky Immortal Tree, revealing Su Yuntao's figure. His expression was one of excitement.

Just then, a ripple appeared above his head, and a shimmering golden hand materialized out of thin air, striking with lightning speed towards Su Yuntao.

Zheng Qiuyue and the others attacked Su Yuntao one after another. None of them wanted Su Yuntao to seize the Profound Sky object.

Wang Changsheng frowned and looked towards the exotic beast immobilized by the five-colored spiritual light. He raised his hand, and a golden light shot out, revealing itself to be a shimmering golden small seal. After the golden small seal emitted a dazzling golden light, it vanished.

The next moment, the golden small seal appeared above the exotic beast's head, its size rapidly expanding to that of a majestic mountain, and it smashed down directly.

Just as the colossal golden seal was about to crush the exotic beast into a pulp, its descent momentarily halted, as if it had been blocked by something.
