Chapter 2314: Unexpected Experimental Results
As expected, the illusion of the Holy Light Venerable lasted even longer.
It actually persisted for a full ten minutes and was still going strong... It seemed like he could hold on for even longer.
"Am I really this weak?" Venerable Xichong began to doubt himself. He had taken the lead because his illusion was the most powerful among the three Venerables. However, he ended up lasting the shortest time.
"No, there's definitely something wrong here. End the ilussion. That strange ball is using our illusions to adapt to the laws of the present world!"
While he was speaking the illusion shattered.
The Heavenly Dao Molt Ball emerged from the illusion. Although it was still chubby, it now appeared more agile.
The venerable was sent flying backward as if he had been hit by a truck. He had clearly suffered a significant setback within the illusion.
The black-bellied Venerable quickly reached out to catch him.
"Black-bellied Venerable... be careful... Ball," he transmitted with a trembling voice.
The black-bellied Venerable was left momentarily speechless.
In mid-air, the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball descended at a considerably faster pace now. It eschewed any special skills and simply used its body to plummet.
"Prepare for impact!" Venerable Xichong shouted via group voice transmission. The group of Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors below hoisted their shields high.
The Mountain Paradise braced for the collision.
The immortal vessels and magic warships on both sides locked onto the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball. The cannons, primed and ready, began bombarding it.
Boom!
The Heavenly Dao Molt Ball slammed into Mountain Paradise, and a muffled sound reverberated in everyone's minds. It wasn't a tangible sound but rather a mental assault.
Mountain Paradise boasted formidable defenses. The more in sync the shield-wielding cultivators were, the stronger its protective capabilities.
Conversely, discord among the Fifth Stage cultivators weakened Mountain Paradise's defenses.
Under the mental assault from the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball, the Fifth Stage cultivator manning the shields felt as if water had infiltrated their minds. Their heads grew heavy, and they could even hear the sound of flowing water when they shook their heads.
In an instant, the cohesion among the Fifth Stage cultivators was disrupted.
Mountain Paradise wavered.
The cannon barrage from the immortal vessels on both sides proved as effective as a drizzle against the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball. Although it was dense, it was futile.
Even though it was still under the influence of the Heavenly Dao laws of the present world, its strength remained intact.
To harm it even slightly, one would need power at least at the Eighth or Ninth Stage. To pose a genuine threat, one would need something akin to a 'Krypton Gold Strike.'
"Mountain Paradise is about to collapse," the black-bellied Venerable mentally projected.
"Don't panic," Venerable Xichong called out simultaneously. "The Lotus Demon-Subduing Scroll behind you is up next."
Similar to Mountain Paradise, the Demon-Slaying Lotus Scroll was a magical item used collectively by many. However, it wasn't a combined magical treasure but a large scroll. Several Fifth Stage Buddhist cultivators positioned themselves to activate the power of the scroll.
At the same time, Venerable Xi Chong extended his hand and produced a small golden staff. It landed on the Lotus Demon-Subduing Scroll and became the epicenter of the formation.
"Sage Monarch Winter Melon is here!" An excited voice called out.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon had challenged Profound Sage Tyrannical Song three times. Although he was a newly minted Profound Sage, his defense was extraordinarily robust. Even Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had commended Sage Monarch Winter Melon's defensive capabilities.
A towering golden figure emerged from the void.
It was a giant formed from Sage Monarch Winter Melon's virtue light.
After the giant's appearance, it extended its arm to block the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball.
Virtue light was an incredibly versatile power. Regardless of the type of adversary it confronted, it seemed to be effective.
With the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball in tow, Sage Monarch Winter Melon retrieved his life-bound magical treasure and began constructing layers of defensive formations.
Indeed, he was a specialist in defense.
In a short span, Sage Monarch Winter Melon had established twelve defensive layers.
The descent of the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball slowed once again.
In terms of defense, Sage Monarch Winter Melon was undeniably dependable.
Upon witnessing Sage Monarch Winter Melon's arrival, Song Shuhang breathed a silent sigh of relief.
At the same time, Senior White's response came through to his mind.
"It's working. I'm attempting to conduct experiments on the Heavenly Dao
Molt Ball using the blood of Fellow Daoist Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue,
Fellow Daoist Spirit Butterfly, Fairy Skylark, and myself. Among them, Fellow Daoist Spirit Butterfly's blood has minimal effect, while Fellow Daoist Seventh
Cultivator of True Virtue's blood is slightly more potent. As for my blood and
Fairy Skylark's blood, they inflicted the most damage on the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball."
Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded.
Not only Senior White, but the blood of the other three seniors had also inflicted damage on the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball?
Could it be that the blood of all cultivators in the current world had an effect?
Song Shuhang quickly raised his head and addressed Senior White Two. "Senior White Two... I got a reply!"
Senior White Two raised an eyebrow.
"Senior White performed some experiments on the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball's body, and the blood of the four seniors from the Nine Provinces Number One
Group, including Senior White, caused some damage to the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball, " Song Shuhang quickly conveyed.
"The blood of all four individuals caused damage to the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball?" Senior White Two was taken aback.
This result exceeded his expectations.
Could it be that the source of damage to the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball wasn't Senior White's identity as the ruler of the Netherworld or Heavenly Dao White?
Contemplating this, Senior White Two fed two spirit stones to Tyrannical Song's boots, which were in contact with the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball.
Then, he said to Song Shuhang, "Shuhang, try dripping your blood."
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Senior White, you and I are on the same page!" Song Shuhang chuckled and retrieved the Sage Ape Master's Sharp Sword from the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts Combined Magical Treasure, then lightly cut his finger.
Sparks flew between his fingers.
A white scratch appeared between Song Shuhang's fingers, but no blood flowed.
Senior White Two was rendered speechless.
Song Shuhang, on the other hand, wore a puzzled expression. "Since when did my defenses become so strong? Haven't I reached this level in my body tempering technique?"
Senior White Two observed closely and then replied, "It's that sealing pillar. The seven-colored radiance enveloping you is silently bestowing you with a strengthening aura."
Song Shuhang was at a loss for words.
That sealing pillar was indeed something special. He extended his hand toward it and performed twenty consecutive Saber Nurturing Techniques.
The radiance surrounding the sealing pillar grew even more brilliant. It emitted a pleased hum as if it was enjoying itself. "As expected of an evil technique," the hamster muttered.
Senior White Two remained speechless.
Song Shuhang retreated from the area covered by the sealing pillar's aura and once again lightly cut his finger with the sharp sword to create a shallow wound.
A drop of blood fell onto the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball within Tyrannical Song's boots.
The Heavenly Dao Molt Ball's body did indeed sustain damage.
However, compared to the blood of Senior White Two, the damage caused by Song Shuhang's blood was minimal..
