Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 716 - 365: Taking Action

Countless Ghostly Entities appeared on the streets with fierce, ruthless expressions. They roared and ranted, venting their violent emotions in this millennia-old Capital City.

A terrible gloom instantly swept over the Capital City, and countless people felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet. The weaker ones had already started coughing, as the appearance of the Hundreds of Ghosts changed the environment of the Capital City.

The Cursed Script that surged towards Xu Fu now began to change direction, heading towards the Hundreds of Ghosts. After all, several elders could not simply sit by and watch the Hundreds of Ghosts run rampant in the city they had guarded for nearly a thousand years.

The power of the Cursed Script exploded. Each character seemed to possess a great force, and the weaker Ghostly Entities simply could not withstand it and disintegrated on the spot. However, endless Ghostly Entities still surged forth, seemingly inexhaustible.

A dense gloom formed a Giant Beast over the Capital City, a giant serpent with eight fierce heads. Its massive body coiled above the Capital City, churning the dark clouds incessantly.

"Humph!" A cold snort came from the void, and the Bright Mirror shot a brilliant radiance, transforming into a golden Giant in the void.

The Giant Dragon and the monstrous serpent stood against each other in the sky, tensions running high. The terrifying aura immediately enveloped the entire Capital City. The entire sky seemed to be split in two, one black and one gold.

The Rakshasa Princess and her companions, still en route to the Capital City, had just reached a point from which they could see the city when they witnessed such an exaggerated scene. The golden Dragon and the pitch-black serpent divided the sky over the entire Capital City into distinctly separate parts.

The enormous aura swept across heaven and earth, their astounding essence palpable even from such a great distance, making people tremble uncontrollably.

The strong wind carried sand, roughening the faces of the people, a byproduct of the clash between the two monsters.

Many people couldn't help but swallow salvia, muttering to themselves as they watched the terrifying spectacle from afar, "Dear mother above, are we really going to face such beings?"

Fear was unmistakable in their voices; after all, facing such terror, mortals had no choice but to feel afraid.

"Formless mother, homeland of the void!" a clear voice rang out, resonating in everyone's ears, dispelling the fear in their hearts, and allowing their spirits to find peace, no longer tormented by fear.

This was a miracle, a Divine Spirit speaking through the Holy Maiden, bestowing a miracle. Thus, the believers began to pray devoutly, shouting the name of the Formless Mother, their eyes devoid of fear, filled instead with fervor.

Even the Rakshasa Princess found it hard to understand this change; her intention was merely to dispel the fear in these people's hearts, for if this continued, this troop might disband.

But who could have anticipated such a change? It seemed as though a mysterious force had descended upon this place, as if a mysterious presence had cast its gaze upon them, watching over everyone.

Now the believers were even more fervent, frantically calling out the name of the Formless Mother; their voices echoed through the skies, deafening to all who heard them.

The Rakshasa Princess looked at the scene, her brows slightly furrowed, realizing she might have played her hand too far. At the moment when that inexplicable gaze targeted her, she instinctively felt a shiver, a fear that stemmed from her soul, as if she faced a colossal Giant who could end her life as effortlessly as crushing an ant with a mere thought.

Luckily, the terrifying entity only glanced over briefly before quickly withdrawing its gaze, seemingly leaving nothing behind except for a group of fanatically devout followers.

"I really did bring about an incredible being unintentionally!" the Rakshasa Princess muttered to herself with a sigh of relief.

The same words were spoken by the Sect Hierarch of the Lifeless Cult, though he was merely a mortal, his naturally sharp intuition allowed him also to sense the shift in events. A look of fear filled his face because he knew all too well that he was not a follower, merely a charlatan who wandered about deceiving others under false pretenses.

Thinking that he might have truly offended a Divine Spirit unintentionally, he shuddered all over.

At that very moment in the Capital City, the great battle had begun to affect the city. A huge storm swept across in all directions, and the elderly man seated at the highest point furrowed his brow upon witnessing such a scene. This was the city they had protected for nearly a thousand years. If it were destroyed due to this battle, they would die with regret.

Thus, they had no choice but to allocate some of their power to protect the Capital City. The cursed script throughout the Capital City began to emit a glow, and the entire city seemed to be enveloped in a special radiance, with faint light appearing.

Under the influence of this power, everyone within the city felt an overwhelming drowsiness and involuntarily fell into a deep slumber. The entire city was put to sleep as a form of protection.

Xu Fu looked at the sleeping city with a smirk, knowing full well that as the battle escalated to this level, those old men would hesitate for the sake of the city's safety, and that would be his opportunity. After all, the Emperor who could make ruthless decisions was already dead, and the current Qi Cultivators were but tigers without teeth.

Thus, the sky-dwelling serpentine creature began to gain the upper hand. A black aura surged forward, rushing toward the city like a relentless stormy wave battering the walls.

The protective power of the cursed scripts seemed precarious under this terrifying onslaught, teetering on the brink of collapse. This situation left the old men feeling both angry and powerless as they could not divert more of their strength to support, fearing that if this continued, they would be killed by Xu Fu.

It was at this moment that a robust vital energy suddenly burst forth, like a great sun rising from within the city, contacting the black mist and producing a sizzling sound. The black fog emitted a shrill scream, filled with utmost fear and pain.

Sitting on the high platform, the elderly men discovered to their delight that the dense fog, under the assault of the terrifying vital energy, appeared to be fleeing. In an instant, the dense fog that was about to destroy the city vanished without a trace. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Xu Fu, feeling the fear returning to the fog itself, stared intently at a corner in the city. There, a boy with a somewhat youthful face was smiling at everything.

It was the person he had seen when he first entered the city; Xu Fu recognized him as Chen Xiang immediately. A serious expression crossed his face as he had felt Chen Xiang's power up close, knowing it would be hard for him to handle if the other were to take action.

Making a split-second decision, Xu Fu detonated the aerial serpentine creature, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire city. The apocalyptic power caused the whole world to tremble.

"Xu Fu, how dare you!" an aged voice laden with endless fury echoed across the skies.
