Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 232 - 181: Fight to the Death! (Part 2)

Zhang Yao clapped his hands together, stood up, and moved beside Zhou Tianyi, speaking indifferently:

"Great scheme! I never thought you'd be after my life too."

"But I'm far from done living. If you want my life, come and take it yourself!"

"Indeed!"

Lord Bai, Lord Liang, and Elder Cen also stood up, holding spiritual artifacts, ready for battle, their expressions cold and resolved, clearly prepared to fight to the death.

"If you want our heads, then let's see true strength under your hands!"

The tense atmosphere instantly filled the entire conference hall, the scent of gunpowder nearly pungent.

"Sirs."

Li Shuixian suddenly spoke, stepping with two other stewards to stand beside Chief Steward Jin:

"Think it through carefully."

She looked at the Taihe Sect Leader, Du Men Zeng Clan Patriarch, and other uncertain Foundation Establishment powerhouses, with a hint of threat in her calm tone:

"Fuhai Sect, like the Pingdu Sect of old, has angered everyone and cannot escape defeat."

"Those who know when to act are wise. I believe you wish to stand on the side of victory rather than accompany losers to death?"

As she spoke, she took out a golden tower master token, casually casting a spell.

"Buzz buzz!"

Intense spiritual light quivered, a powerful array activated, sealing the entire conference hall.

Yu Wen Tai remains missing, but he's not the only one with control over the array. Together, multiple groups easily seized control over the Celestial Treasure Tower array.

The array of Celestial Treasure Tower is formed from multiple arrays intertwined, with main arrays being third-grade, inherently undefeatable by the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, the entire conference hall turned into an iron shell, cutting off any hope of escape.

"We also support Chief Steward Jin!"

"Yes, we also support Chief Steward Jin!"

The Taihe Sect Leader and others' expressions changed, rushing to voice their support and actually standing behind Chief Steward Jin.

This made Chief Steward Jin's smile even broader, his tone carrying a hint of subtle pride:

"Sect Leader Zhou, what say you?"

"Still want to resist stubbornly?"

At that moment:

More than twenty Foundation Establishment masters stood on Chief Steward Jin's side. Aside from Li Shuixian, the weakest were at middle stage Foundation Establishment, most were late stage, renowned strong figures.

In contrast, beside Zhou Tianyi, there were only five people, making the disparity in strength overwhelmingly sad.

"..."

Zhou Tianyi did not reply, holding a top-grade combat spiritual artifact shaped like a flying wheel. He bowed politely, speaking calmly:

"Please!"

Chief Steward Jin's smile also waned, earnestly returning the gesture:

"Please."

In the next instant: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Boom!"

Both sides moved simultaneously, various spiritual lights exploded, almost blinding everyone.

Chief Steward Jin, Dugu Jing, and Lu Yuan's side unleashed over twenty spiritual artifacts and Daoist techniques, forming a terrifying flood of attack and assault.

"Die!"

Zhou Tianyi, Elder Cen, Lord Bai, and Lord Liang nearly abandoned their own defenses, exhausting all efforts to activate slaughter spiritual artifacts and attack Daoist skills.

Their thoughts were simple—since a reversal is impossible, they would find someone to drag down with them even in death!

"Crack!"

Only Zhang Yao instantly used the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman, transforming into Five-Colored Glaze Armor, which instantly clad his body.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

In an instant, a full five or six attacking techniques and spiritual artifacts came crashing in succession.

Lord Qingxu is famously known; everyone knows his power must have surged after advancing to late stage Foundation Establishment, so he became a secondary target, with attacks aimed at him only slightly less than toward Fuhai Sect Leader Zhou Tianyi.

"Kill Qingxu brat!"

Across, Elder Xuan Yi shouted, desperately channeling his magical power, focusing on Zhang Yao's vital points.

He was someone who bore grudges. A small conflict at the auction years ago remained in his mind. Now finding an opportunity to eliminate his foe, how could he not be ecstatic?

"Boom..."

Zhang Yao was directly hit by numerous techniques, Daoist skills, and spiritual artifacts, flying backwards and crashing heavily against the conference hall wall, causing spiritual lights to shimmer.

Despite enduring such a dreadful onslaught, his entire body was clad in the Five-Colored Glaze Armor, which cracked and damaged everywhere, yet did not completely shatter, even rapidly repairing.

"What?!"

Facing Elder Xuan Yi and others, they were suddenly shocked, their follow-up actions momentarily slowed.

Simultaneously:

"Poof!"

Lord Bai's head was pierced with a large hole, his gaze dimming instantly, falling backward.

Lord Liang fared worse, being directly blasted into a blood mist, while Elder Cen beside him had half his body smashed into pulp, lying on the ground, suffering from a malicious Daoist skill like a bone-devouring maggot, shrieking miserably.

Zhou Tianyi, the primary target, was directly struck by seven or eight spiritual artifacts and Daoist techniques, his body pulverized yet not quite dead.

Wave-like water light ripples attempted to connect his fragmented body, maintaining his consciousness and magical power, even attempting escape but failing to leave the cage.

"Did you think only you had protective divine techniques?"

Chief Steward Jin scornfully snorted, suddenly stomped his foot, surges of magical power exploded.

"Swish!"

A flash of golden light, sharp and unstoppable, slicing the remainder of the water light glimmers to oblivion!

"Thud!"

Zhou Tianyi's remaining body fell to the ground, devoid of divine techniques' protection, instantly leading to soul demise.

The dignified Fuhai Sect Leader, a prominent figure across Southwest Countries, perished amidst encirclement so regretfully.

"Hmm? One still alive?"

Chief Steward Jin looked at Zhang Yao slowly rising, showing a hint of appreciation:

"Lord Qingxu's strength, indeed true to reputation."

He waved a hand casually, commanding:

"Kill him."

Without waiting for an answer:

"Boom!"

Countless Foundation Establishment masters struck at once, a stream of spiritual artifacts and Daoist skills surged, terrorizing power almost flattening mountains and evaporating valleys!

But this dreadful strike was forcibly blocked!

"Boom!"

Immense power flowed, crashing against a lofty wall of light, erupting countless piercing spiritual lights, making the entire Celestial Treasure Tower tremble somewhat.

"What?"

Everyone was astonished, Li Shuixian fiercely paled, exclaiming in horror:

"You! You..."

It was at this moment everyone realized, opposite them the figure in Five-Colored Glaze Armor astonishingly held a golden command token identical to Li Shuixian's!

With the emergence of this token, it directly revoked all other permissions, transferring control of the Celestial Treasure Tower array!

"How could you have..."

Chief Steward Jin inhaled sharply, subconsciously started his sentence halfway but reacted fiercely, exclaiming in terror:

"You killed Yu Wen Tai?!"

He served in Celestial Treasure Tower's high-level positions for decades, deeply aware of Yu Wen Tai's terrifying strength!

Had Yu Wen Tai indeed fallen to Lord Qingxu, the opponent's terrifying power would be beyond imaginable!

"I originally intended to weather this storm smoothly, then enter the Five Elements Secret Realm following the tide."

Zhang Yao's voice, chillingly cold, came from behind his visor:

"But since you insist on courting death, I can only grant your wish!"

Without waiting for a reply:

"Boom!"

Terrifying spiritual light pressure descended from above, becoming an iron curtain, suffocating Chief Steward Jin, Dugu Jing, and others!

The array of the Celestial Treasure Tower Headquarters was personally set by the ancestor of Pingdu Sect; it is in no way counterable by the Foundation Establishment stage!

"Attack!"

In despair, Chief Steward Jin roared fiercely, countless Foundation Establishment masters enacted desperate measures!

Everyone was aware there was no exterminating array internally in Celestial Treasure Tower, this is the only chance for survival—they had to resist the suppressive power of the array and eliminate the formidable enemy holding the tower master token!

With their backs against the wall, the battle ignited instantly!
