Chapter 2085 - 2053: Breaking the Formation
Chapter 2085 - 2053: Breaking the Formation
The blood quietly flowed across the ground.
Although this blood belonged to the deceased, for some mysterious reason, even though it had left the human body, it continued to flow across the ground with a strange vitality, maintaining its liveliness.
Even more terrifying was that this blood flow was not just a shallow gully; it formed an enormous and incredibly intricate Formation!
This Formation was not devised by Xivilo.
This Formation had long existed; he merely activated it and poured blood into it.
Now, ninety percent of the Formation was filled with blood. It only needed the final ten percent.
And for this final ten percent, he chose to use the blood of the Elf Forest to fill it!
"The Tree of Life of the Elf Race, truly a troublesome thing!" After a lengthy battle, having not been able to slay Daphne, Xivilo was filled with immense irritation.
The Tree of Life bestowed Daphne with an astonishing life force, especially at such close proximity, where the power transfer almost had no delay. Meanwhile, the Formation greatly enhanced Daphne’s defense.
Several times, Xivilo gravely injured Daphne, but in the blink of an eye, the mighty Life Force of the Tree of Life restored her.
In other words, unless he could kill Daphne in one strike, and unless he depleted all the Life Force of the Tree of Life, he’d never be able to kill Daphne!
This was the most terrifying aspect of the Elf Race.
Beside the Tree of Life, the power the Elf Race could wield was unimaginable.
Even though Xivilo was superior in combat, killing Daphne wasn’t that easy.
"I can’t keep this up any longer." The Gu Bug within Xivilo’s body was already killed, yet the injuries left by Li Chen remained. Coupled with the suppression of the heavens and the earth, his power was severely limited. The Life Force of the Tree of Life was unfathomably deep; if he couldn’t swiftly kill the opponent, he himself might be drained dry!
"Order of Light, Third Chapter!"
"Hymn of Light!!"
From the sky, a vaguely chanting voice emerged.
Accompanying the chant was the purification of searing Holy Light.
The entire space of the Elf Forest twisted under this Holy Light.
In the sky, dark cracks appeared. The space of the Lower Realm was inherently unstable compared to the Upper Realm, and under this holy chant, it tore apart layer by layer like paper.
At this moment, the massive Formation Guard of the Elf Forest trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck, causing countless members of the Elf Race to prostrate themselves toward the Tree of Life.
"O great Tree of Life, please protect your people!"
"Please protect your people!"
Seeing this scene, Xivilo couldn’t suppress a cold smile: "Under the Hymn of Light, this old tree cannot even protect itself, let alone you. You all shall obediently become sacrifices for the adults!"
"Old Four, reinforce the Formation!"
"Understood!" Li Xinglun shouted, both hands swiftly moving, as the light of the Formation flickered as if it might collapse at any moment.
"No, I can’t hold it any longer! Retreat!" Finally, Li Xinglun let out a great shout, quickly retreating from the side of the Formation.
Not only Li Xinglun; upon hearing his words, including Luo Yi and Qin Lunhui, several elders of the Elf Race who had maintained the Formation swiftly withdrew as well.
"Crack! Crack!"
Horrifying cracks appeared on the light screen of the Formation.
Ultimately, with a soft snap, the entire Formation covering the core of the Elf Race shattered open with a "pop".
"Ah~~!!!"
At the moment the Formation shattered, the Elf Race let out a great many screams.
Without the Formation’s protection, the weak among them had no defense against the power of the Hymn of Light, and in just an instant, they were melted by the searing Holy Light.
However, instead of disintegrating into ashes upon melting, they transformed into lines of blood, traversing the air, landing in the unfilled parts of the Blood Sacrifice Array.
Even the trees, under this terrifying Holy Light, withered and decayed.
Yet without the blood of living beings, once they withered and decayed, they collapsed into dry wood.
Daphne, seeing this scene, could not hold back tears of red: "No!!!"
But no matter how much pain she was in, the events had occurred, and the facts couldn’t be changed.
Though Xivilo found it difficult to kill her, he could bypass her to directly assault the Elf Forest.
Such an attack was something she couldn’t block, nor defend against.
She could defend one place, but couldn’t fend off the searing Holy Light coming from all directions.
"Poof!"
Daphne spat out a mouthful of blood, not caused by Xivilo’s attack, but from rage overwhelming her heart.
"No! Please, no!!" Watching the widespread death of her fellow elves, Daphne’s eyes were full of regret. She regretted her weakness, her inability to do anything in the face of such a disaster.
"Who... is there anyone who can save the Elf Race?"
"Can anyone save us?" Daphne’s spirit quickly dwindled.
Because the Tree of Life was also under attack, the searing Holy Light caused much of its canopy to wither, making it incapable of supporting her power any longer.
The situation had reached an irretrievable point, Daphne knew.
Looking at the emerald green light in her hand, Daphne suddenly became slightly dazed.
"The poison of the Tree of Life, huh?"
"Life Extinguishing... extinguishing all vitality."
Suddenly, Daphne raised her head and gazed at Xivilo, her eyes now carrying a determination to die.
Even in death, she couldn’t let the enemy before her have an easy time; she must fight to give the Elf Race time.
If her sister could do it, so could she!
Just as Daphne tightened her grip on the Life Extinguishing Poison, prepared for one final gambit, a chilly voice suddenly descended from the sky.
"Darkness——Heavens’ Canopy!"
"Buzz——"
A light buzzing sounded, and then, infinite darkness instantly covered the entire sky, bringing a heart-penetrating chill amidst the searing Holy Light, enveloping it entirely.
Within the vast darkness of the Heavens’ Canopy, the Holy Light was no longer omnipresent, but compressed into a ball, shining in the sky, gleaming like the sun.
"Little Wu, extinguish it."
"Roar——"
A long dragon roar echoed across the firmament.
Suddenly, a five-colored Divine Dragon appeared out of nowhere, arriving directly in front of that sun-like radiant Holy Light.
"Gulp!"
The Five-colored Divine Dragon swallowed the Holy Light in one gulp.
