Chapter 1940: Chapter 2037: Stopping the Fusion

With a thunderous crash, Liao Can Sheng slammed into the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. That seemingly small tree was like the most unshakable existence in the universe, and the moment Liao Can Sheng collided with it, his body was shattered to dust.

Fang Lin observed this scene from the sky with an indifferent expression. Liao Can Sheng had brought this upon himself; there was nothing sympathetic about it. After all, he tried to steal the power of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree and ended up dying before it, which was indeed a cycle of causality.

With Liao Can Sheng’s death, the crisis within the Ancient Demon Ridge was considered resolved. Fang Lin then leaped into the sky to join the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and Qi Liansheng in resisting the continuing Heavenly Tribulation.

Meanwhile, in the Seven Seas, the three Sky Tower Sword Masters were originally engaged in a fight with the ancient magic tree, preventing it from pulling the nine chains from the underwater volcano.

Suddenly, a demon beast came crashing down, scaring the three Sky Tower Sword Masters away, as they retreated without knowing what had happened.

The Ancient Demon Tree and the demon beast were entwined together, with numerous vines and many arms of the demon beast interweaving. The two grotesque giants seemed to be showing signs of merging.

"What’s going on?" The three Sky Tower Sword Masters looked at each other, stunned by the overwhelming scene, unsure of what to do.

"Let’s wait and see. Don’t act rashly," said the Black White Taoist Sage, his eyes appearing somewhat solemn.

The Ancient Demon Tree and demon beast intertwined, occasionally emitting spine-chilling roars, causing the entire sea to churn, while rolling gray fog filled the air.

"This gray fog can absorb life force, retreat first!" the Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor said, and the three immediately pulled back swiftly to avoid the range of the fog.

BOOM!!!!

The vast sea roared with fury, sending monstrous waves surging through the Seven Seas, and the sky above swirled with clouds as various magical phenomena continuously appeared.

Quickly, the expressions of the three Sky Tower Sword Masters changed as they finally realized what was happening.

"It’s that monster from back then!" cried out the Sky Tower Sword Master, immediately launching an attack on the merging demon beast and the Ancient Demon Tree.

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor joined with the Sky Tower Sword Master, all three withholding nothing, exerting every ounce of strength to stop the fusion of the two colossal beings.

When their assaults landed on the Ancient Demon Tree and the demon beast, they were unable to harm them; instead, the three’s power was absorbed by them.

Now, the three finally realized that the situation had reached a dire point beyond their ability to stop.

"Something big is going to happen," the Black White Taoist Sage said with a bitter face.

"Have we ultimately evaded the calamity of that year?" The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor pressed his hands together, his expression wistful.

Only the Sky Tower Sword Master remained silent, biting her lip with determination on her face, seemingly still wanting to make another attempt.

"It might not be unstoppable. That monster back then was formed by such a fusion. As long as we can slow down their merging speed, there should still be a turn for the better," the Sky Tower Sword Master suggested.

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor and Black White Taoist Sage looked at the Sky Tower Sword Master, still unclear on what she intended to do.

"How to slow it down?" asked the Black White Taoist Sage.

The Sky Tower Sword Master took a deep breath: "These two monsters will absorb our power. Ordinary means won’t work, so we need to use Array Force to suppress them."

"But a common array can’t suppress these two monsters," the Black White Taoist Sage frowned.

The Sky Tower Sword Master waved her silver longsword: "With the three of our treasures, we can form a formation and use their power to slow their fusion."

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor and Black White Taoist Sage hesitated since this was merely a conjecture by the Sky Tower Sword Master. Who knew if it would work? If they lost their treasures, the loss would be immense.

"I advise you both, if that monster reemerges, who among us will escape?" The Sky Tower Sword Master noticed their hesitation and said coldly.

"Alright! We’ll bet on this!" the Black White Taoist Sage agreed through gritted teeth.

The Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor said nothing, merely nodding.

Immediately, each of the three brought out their treasures. The Sky Tower Sword Master tossed her silver longsword, the Black White Taoist Sage took out the Yin Yang Fish Plate, and the Golden Tripod Buddha Emperor produced a golden lotus flower.

The treasures owned by the three were famously renowned, and in ancient times, casting out just one would invite contention from all sides.

Now, the trio was using these three treasures to form an array to suppress the fusion of the Ancient Demon Tree and the demon beast.

The three treasures formed a tripod stance, and the Sky Tower Sword Masters stood above their respective treasures, fully maintaining the operation of the array.

When the light shield enveloped the seabed where part of the bodies of the merging Ancient Demon Tree and demon beast lay, they seemed unsettled, as if the fusion process was indeed hindered, not as swift as before.

Seeing this, the three felt a slight sense of relief, knowing this couldn’t stop the fusion of the two monsters entirely, but it could at least delay them somewhat.

As for how long they could delay, the three had no assurance, as they could only take one step at a time at such a juncture.

····

Amidst the tens of thousands of mountains, the Hidden Kill Hall Master sat cross-legged, having drained the life force from all living beings within a thousand-mile radius. His chest wound was nearly healed completely.

"Hmm? Those ignorant fools dare to hinder my affairs?" The Hidden Kill Hall Master suddenly showed anger and vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, in the sea, where the Sky Tower Sword Masters were using an array to suppress the fusion of the Ancient Demon Tree and the demon beast, they all simultaneously felt a terrifying aura rushing fiercely toward them.

The three instantly changed expressions, having once felt this overwhelming aura in Mo Shouhe, an aura they were utterly incapable of resisting.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master had arrived!

"It’s you!" The three recognized the Hidden Kill Hall Master, turning ashen, for they had all survived since ancient times, witnessing the great calamity and seeing those who fought against the Martial Lord Hou Yi. Among them was the present Hidden Kill Hall Master.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master wasn’t interested in wasting words with the three of them, and with a wave of his hand, he launched an assault, knocking all three down with no resistance.

Not only that, but their life force was directly taken by the Hidden Kill Hall Master, leaving nothing behind.

As for their treasures, they naturally fell into the hands of the Hidden Kill Hall Master, rendering the array meaningless.

The Sky Tower Sword Masters fell into the sea. Though their lives were incredibly resilient due to the Heavenly Mandate, being injured by the Hidden Kill Hall Master and having their life force drained, not dying immediately was already quite fortunate.
