Chapter 2632: Five Elements Forbidden Light

The golden-robed old man didn't take the humanoid skeleton seriously, believing that seven Void-refining cultivators should have no trouble dealing with a Void-refining stage ghost. Wang Changsheng and the red-shirted man, however, dared not be careless and had solemn expressions.

"The essence blood of seven Void-refining cultivators is enough for me to advance to the Integration stage," the humanoid skeleton said in a cold tone.

"Just you?" the golden-robed old man sneered. He formed a hand seal, and a layer of golden spiritual light emanated from his body.

A shimmering golden male phantom appeared high above his head. The phantom opened its mouth and spat out a sheet of golden flames, emitting terrifying heat as they shot straight towards the humanoid skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton formed a hand seal, and a grey phantom of a fierce ghost appeared above its head. The ghost phantom spewed out a grey hurricane that dispersed the golden flames. The golden flames then fell to the ground, instantly blasting out huge craters.

With a flash of green light, a shimmering green seal appeared out of nowhere, instantly enlarging and smashing towards the humanoid skeleton.

The fierce ghost phantom spat out a grey ghost flame that landed on the green seal, slowing its descent and causing its spiritual light to flicker.

Wang Changsheng and the others naturally wouldn't stand idly by. Just as they were about to cast spells to deal with the humanoid skeleton, a burst of mournful ghostly wails rang out, and countless streams of Yin Qi surged from the ground, engulfing them.

The scene before them shifted, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan found themselves in a hazy grey space where numerous ghost figures could be seen. A large number of ghosts then rushed towards them.

"A formation!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed. She summoned the Heavenly Buddha Bell and formed a hand seal.

"Ding, ding, ding!" A loud bell rang out, accompanied by waves of Buddhist chants. The Buddha statues on the Heavenly Buddha Bell's surface recited Buddhist scriptures.

The ghosts shrieked miserably and vanished. The scene before them suddenly changed again, and they found themselves back in the cave.

The golden-robed old man and the black-skirted woman lay on the ground, each with a horrifying blood-hole in their chest. Their bodies had withered into dried corpses.

The red-shirted man and the silver-skirted young woman turned pale with fright. A shimmering red cauldron floated above their heads, enveloping them in a red aura. A giant male phantom and female phantom also appeared above their heads, unleashing red flames and silver lightning respectively to attack the humanoid skeleton.

Several dim-glowing treasures lay scattered on the ground, appearing to have lost most of their spiritual essence.

"It has mastered the Five-Element Banishment Light; ordinary treasures cannot harm it at all. It also possesses a formidable sixth-order ghost flame," the red-shirted man said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with panic. "Fellow daoists, please don't hold back any longer."

"Five-Element Banishment Light?" Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. This was a powerful divine ability, similar in effect to the Five-Colored Divine Light. The difference was that wherever the Five-Colored Divine Light passed, all Five-Element objects would be restrained, and its destructive range was quite large, being the innate divine ability of the Five-Colored Peacock. In contrast, the Five-Element Banishment Light was a cultivated divine ability with a limited destructive range, yet it could similarly restrain Five-Element treasures.

With this divine ability, ordinary treasures simply couldn't harm the humanoid skeleton. Logically, a ghost couldn't possibly master such a divine ability. Could this be related to True Monarch Xiaoyao?

The humanoid skeleton's jaw opened, and a ball of grey flames flew out, transforming into a grey fire snake that shot straight towards Wang Changsheng.

"A ghost flame?" Wang Changsheng opened his mouth and spat out a blue light, which transformed into a light blue firebird and flew to meet the attack.

Wang Ruyan also spat out a ball of red flames, which suddenly condensed into a red firebird and flew to meet the attack.

"You both have sixth-order spiritual flames?" The humanoid skeleton was initially stunned, then burst into wild laughter.

"Haha, excellent! By refining your spiritual flames, I hope to cultivate a seventh-order spiritual flame, and dealing with that old ghost Liehuo will be even easier."

The blue and red firebirds attacked the grey fire snake together. The grey fire snake was no match and retreated steadily.

The fierce ghost phantom let out an extremely mournful wail, causing the red-shirted man and the silver-skirted young woman to feel dizzy. Wang Changsheng was unaffected, though Wang Ruyan and Wang Xiangrong felt a bit uncomfortable.

A spiritual light shone above the heads of Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Xiangrong. A five-colored shimmering pagoda appeared out of nowhere, descending to cover them.

Just as they were about to dodge, a loud gong sound rang out. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly.

"A soul attack!" By the time they reacted, they had already been absorbed by the five-colored pagoda, finding themselves in a spacious and bright hall.

Countless five-colored runes surged from the ground, transforming into thick five-colored iron chains that coiled around them.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew into mid-air, blue light flaring from their bodies as Wang Changsheng's aura surged. Wang Xiangrong also flew into mid-air, activating his Dharma Idol and releasing streaks of hazy green wind blades that cut towards the five-colored iron chains. Wang Ruyan's fingers swept across the zither strings, and a wave of hazy blue sound waves swept out, shattering the five-colored chains.

"Don't hold back, break the restriction with full force!" Wang Changsheng had a bad premonition. He released his Double-Eyed Rat and Qilin Turtle to help, and quickly activated his Dharma Idol. Wang Ruyan also activated her Dharma Idol.

They activated their Dharma Idols to attack the five-colored pagoda. On the other side, the silver-skirted young woman's chest was pierced by an ink-black bone hand, and her body instantly withered into a dried corpse.

The Qilin Turtle could now freely change its size, reverting to its original form or shrinking its body to avoid attracting attention. Such size manipulation was a divine ability mastered by only a few high-level spiritual beasts.

Three shimmering red flying daggers floated beside the humanoid skeleton, enveloped by a sheet of five-colored spiritual light.

The red-shirted man's expression turned very grim. He had originally thought the opponent was just troublesome, but its strength was far beyond his expectations, and it even possessed soul-attacking treasures.

He shook his right hand, and a white light flew out, heading straight for the humanoid skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton spat out a dark light, striking the white light. With a muffled thud, the white light burst open, revealing a ball of white flames that suddenly condensed into a white fire lotus, smashing towards the humanoid skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton naturally dared not take the attack head-on. The five-colored spiritual light on its body flared brightly, covering a radius of several hundred zhang. Anything of the Five Elements could be suppressed by the Five-Element Banishment Light.

When the white flames came into contact with the five-colored spiritual light, the spiritual light, like thin paper, was incinerated into dust by the white flames. The white flames then landed on the humanoid skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton let out a series of mournful shrieks, and wisps of green smoke rose from its body.

A red light flashed, and a shimmering red cauldron appeared out of nowhere. It spewed out a red aura, drawing the humanoid skeleton inside before its lid closed.

The red-shirted man activated his Dharma Idol, attacking the five-colored pagoda. At this moment, if Wang Changsheng and his two companions could escape, they might still have a chance of winning; relying on him alone, he couldn't possibly defeat the opponent.

The red cauldron and the five-colored pagoda shook incessantly, with the five-colored pagoda shaking the most violently. The red cauldron was engulfed in a ball of red flames, and its lid trembled incessantly.

A quarter of an hour later, the five-colored pagoda shook even more violently, and a small crack appeared on its surface.

The red-shirted man was overjoyed and immediately intensified his attack.
