C2041 Stand-off

Crash! * As the sound waves spread out, all that could be heard was a sound akin to flowing water. The Astral Patterned Secret Artifact controlled by Wu Xuan was like a moving light curtain as it flew backwards and crashed into the ground.

The moment the secret weapon landed on the ground, it was as if Mount Tai had collapsed. This caused the ground to tremble and countless bizarre fissures to spread out.

"This vicious beast has really revived!" Staring at the skeleton of the Enlightened Spirit Beast that had been forced to retreat from the Star Pattern Secret Art with just a roar, Gu Taixu's eyes suddenly went cold as he cried out in disbelief.

He truly could not believe his eyes. How could this spirit beast that had clearly already turned into rotten bones be able to recover its life under the effect of the golden threads? It even regained its divine might!

Not only that, at the moment of the eruption of the roar, Gu Taixu could clearly feel that from the skeleton of the Enlightenment Spirit Beast that was glowing with a white light, a terrifying aura was born. Layer upon layer, like a tidal wave rising from the sea, was constantly invading in all directions, causing people to feel fear.

What was blood energy? It was an aura that was filled with life force! But the enlightened spirit beast in front of everyone was clearly a rotten piece of bones. It had lost its life force for who knows how many years, and it had been invaded by the terrifying aura of the magic technique. How could blood be born from its body?!

Damn it, what's so weird about this Compendium Pavilion? Why would all these dead things be resurrected?! Looking at this scene, not only Gu Taixu, but even Wu Xuan was cursing in his heart. His eyes were fixated on the skeleton of the Enlightened Spirit Beast.

Just like Gu Taixu, he could feel the terrifying wave of blood Qi coming from the spirit beast bones. Furthermore, he was confident that, under the control of the golden threads, the bones of the spirit beast would be able to unleash the power of its peak. They would even be no weaker than the spirit beast he had encountered before.

The essence of the earth dragon truly had the effect of giving birth to bones and living corpses! But unlike them, upon looking at the sight before them, Lin Bai's eyes were filled with excitement. In the records of the art's inheritance, the Earth Dragon's Essence had always been a legend, and he had never truly seen it before. However, now that the Earth Dragon Essence had appeared before his eyes, it meant that there was definitely a technique that could change the location and gather the Earth Dragon Essence hidden within the library.

As his master in the field of martial arts, this was definitely a huge fortune for him! No matter what, even if there was only a sliver of a chance, even if his identity was exposed, he had to enter the Compendium Pavilion to see what exactly was inside! At the same time, Lin Bai's eyes burned with passion as he made his decision in his heart, preparing to explore the Compendium Pavilion.

"Mountain Lord Gu, don't try to hide anymore. Use whatever methods you have. If you can't destroy this spirit beast skeleton, then we don't need to think about entering the Compendium Pavilion anymore!" Wu Xuan gritted his teeth as he watched the Blood Qi rise up from the bones of the Enlightened Spirit Beast. He held the Star Pattern Secret Art tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with caution as he spoke to Gu Taixu word by word.

While he was speaking, the strange blood-red totems on Wu Xuan's body were also constantly changing. The strange patterns were like blood-colored worms squirming on the surface of his body.

"Now that things have come to this, do I need you to remind me?" Seeing this, Gu Taixu smiled coldly, his expression twisted. He then looked coldly at the spirit beast skeleton, and said solemnly, "No matter what you are, you won't be able to stop me from entering this library today!"

"Those who trespass into the Holy Lands will die!" But as if it was responding to Gu Taixu, the moment he said those words, the golden threads disappeared completely from the spirit beast's bones. Strands of ferocious bones supported it as it stood on the ground, as if it was a saint looking at all directions, staring at Gu Taixu and Wu Xuan with empty eyes, coldly speaking.

The moment the words left his mouth, it was as if a violent wave had suddenly appeared. The moment the words left his mouth, they immediately shook the world like a thunderclap. The terrifying sound waves spread out in all directions, causing the surrounding ground to tremble incessantly as though it was about to collapse!

"This aura is …?" The moment the skeleton of the Enlightened Spirit Beast let out a sound, a place more than five kilometers away. The Enlightened Spirit Beast that was fighting against the palm with Lin Bai suddenly stopped, its huge eyes staring straight at the old man in front of it. There was an expression of unconcealable hatred and anger on its face as it coldly said, "Is this the result of what you wanted? You let them in just so they can attack and destroy the Sacred Grounds as they please? "

Judging from the tone of the spirit beast, it seemed to be extremely familiar with the old man. It was as if the two had interacted countless times. However, what was incomprehensible was that both of their bodies were now riddled with injuries. Countless bloodstains could be seen all over their bodies, and even their auras were weak. It was as if a fierce battle between life and death had just occurred between them!

"Rather than letting this Sacred Ground linger on in this world with its life hanging by a thread, who knows why people would not be allowed to enter. Perhaps there might be an even greater turning point!" After which, his expression suddenly became much more agitated as he slowly said, "I think you have also seen him. Don't you think that he might be the variable that we are waiting for?"

"He … "The current him is not worthy of these things …" After hearing the words of the Hundred Spirit House elder, the spirit beast paused for a moment before slowly continuing, "I don't care what you think in your heart, but as long as I am in the Sacred Grounds, I will not allow you to act recklessly! Master gave me the Sacred Ground to protect, I definitely won't allow anyone to damage it! "

"Master did not only hand over the Sacred Grounds to you, but also to me!" He suddenly raised his head and stared at the spirit beast, and said in a deep voice: "Believe me, let me try once, maybe there will be a chance. Maybe the Sacred Land can replay the glory of countless years ago, and everything will be rewritten!"

"So what if the glory of the past is restored, so what if the Sacred Grounds are revived again? In the end, they still had to endure a calamity, and everything would turn into dust. In the previous destruction, I had already lost it, turning it into the bones that guarded the Compendium Pavilion. But this time, before it even started, I lost me and its child. Not only me, you will also find it hard to exist in this world! "

When the spirit beast heard this, it was silent for a long time before it slowly spoke. Its words were filled with unconcealable sadness and anger as it muttered to itself. Then, it slowly raised its head. You and I will work together to expel them from the Sacred Grounds. Believe me, this is the best way, and also the best result. "

"It may be the best thing for you, but it's not for me! Don't forget, you just lost it, and I lost even more. Even if there is still a sliver of hope, I will do my best to fight for it! No matter whether you stop me or not, I will do it! " The old man laughed mournfully when he heard this, as if he had gone insane. His voice was incomparably sharp.

Once he said that, the Hundred Spirit House elder looked in the direction of the library, where the howls of its bones could be heard. After he took a glance at it, he looked at the spirit beast before him with a complicated gaze, and without any hesitation, he turned in the opposite direction from the library and ran off.

"Dammit, you actually want to go to that forbidden area!?" That is a top secret location, it must not be opened! " He wanted to give chase, but just as he took a step forward, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the library. His eyes were filled with sadness as he muttered: "I have already lost you, I cannot lose the Sacred Ground that carries too much of our memories! If you are still alive, you must do your best to prevent them from entering the Compendium Pavilion! "

As he said this, his gaze seemed to transcend mountains and rivers. He glanced in the direction of the Compendium Pavilion, and suddenly, the Enlightened Spirit Beast stomped its foot. It then followed closely behind Hundred Spirit Master and chased after him!

At the same time, in the Compendium Pavilion, the situation was already tense! Gu Taixu and Wu Xuan's faces were filled with nervousness. Their eyes were filled with fear as they stared at the skeleton of the Enlightened Spirit Beast.

Even though the golden threads had completely disappeared, they could feel that the aura of the spirit beast with only bones in front of them was already so strong that it could explode. Wu Xuan even felt that the methods of this spirit beast with enlightenment were several times stronger than the spirit beast he had encountered before!

"Mountain Master Gu, I'll make the first move! "Don't try to be conceited, it's time for you to truly use your trump cards!" When the tension had reached its peak, Wu Xuan let out a sharp laugh and broke the silence. Then, with a wave of his hand, the bloody totem tattoos around his body began to change.

Wu Xuan's previous actions were just a test, but now he had gone all out! As soon as the Star Pattern Secret Artifact rose into the air, countless strange Star Qi suddenly spread out. The Secret Artifact was like a huge curtain, covering the whole world and turning the surrounding sky into a silver-white color, just like the descent of the Milky Way.

Just what good fortune did Wu Xuan obtain that caused his methods to become so strange! The moment Lin Bai saw Wu Xuan attack, he immediately frowned. He could feel that the star energy that Wu Xuan had drawn out was extremely strange, and it didn't seem to be pure star energy. There seemed to be some sort of mysterious energy contained within, causing the star energy to become even more mysterious!

Roar! And right at this moment, Gu Taixu, who had never displayed his true strength in front of everyone, finally made his move!
