Chapter 262 Even More Powerful
It opened its enormous mouth, and a thicker, black liquid suddenly gushed out from its already dark oral cavity.

The liquid rapidly condensed in the air into countless sharp black bone spikes, which flew towards Liu Sijun and the others.

"careful!"

Gu Changzhou shouted and brandished the Molin Sword, shattering the approaching bone spikes one by one.

However, there were simply too many bone spurs, like a dense rain of arrows, and Gu Changzhou alone could not stop them all.

Li Qing quickly manipulated the Fire Phoenix, making it circle around the group. The Netherworld Purifying Fire burning on its body sizzled and burned some of the nearby bone spikes to ashes.

However, some bone spikes still managed to break through the Fire Phoenix's defenses and shot towards Liu Sijun and Xu Hechen.

Although Xu Hechen's body had not fully recovered, he could not care about that at the moment. He quickly cast a spell to form a spiritual energy barrier in front of Liu Sijun, which barely blocked a few bone spurs.

However, the impact of the bone spur still caused Xu Hechen's body to tremble slightly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his lips.

Liu Sijun had already consumed a large amount of spiritual energy and was extremely weak.

She saw Xu Hechen shield her from the bone spurs, and her heart tightened. She endured the discomfort in her body, concentrated her mind again, and mobilized the last of her spiritual power to prepare to cast a spell again.

Just then, the monster suddenly plunged its hands into the ground, and the entire space began to shake violently.

In the black mist, huge cracks began to appear in the ground, spewing out scalding black magma that surged toward the crowd.

Wherever the lava passed, the ground instantly melted, emitting a pungent odor.

Tong Lei warned: "Everyone, be careful of the lava!"

He and the other experts from Wuji Tower quickly used their spiritual power to help everyone avoid the onslaught of lava.

But the eye spread extremely quickly, and the space for everyone to move around became smaller and smaller.

Seeing the group forced back by the lava, the monster let out a triumphant roar.

It opened its mouth again, and this time, instead of black liquid and energy waves, it spewed out a huge ball of black flame.

This flame was different from Li Qing's Netherworld Purifying Flame; it exuded an evil aura, and wherever it went, space seemed to be distorted.

The black flames rushed towards Liu Sijun and the others.

Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately controlled the Fire Phoenix to meet it, attempting to use the Netherworld Purifying Flame to fight against it.

However, the Netherworld Purifying Flame seemed somewhat powerless in the face of this black flame.

Under the impact of the black flames, the Fire Phoenix's body began to become somewhat illusory, emitting mournful cries.

"Fire Phoenix!"

Li Qing cried out in distress, for he could feel the power of the Fire Phoenix rapidly diminishing.

He gritted his teeth and continuously poured his spiritual power into the Fire Phoenix's body, trying to keep it going.

Seeing this, Liu Sijun was extremely anxious.

If they cannot find a way to deal with the monster soon, they will all be in dire straits.

She focused her mind again, trying to find a solution from the memories of the merged remnant soul of the creator god.

At this critical moment, a crucial clue popped into her mind.

There is a mysterious power that can rival the power of demons and gods; that is the power of light and hope.

This thing is ethereal and elusive, integrated into the magic, and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But this may be the only way to resist the heart of the demon god.

Liu Sijun shared her idea with everyone, and to their surprise, they quickly agreed: "Perhaps we can give it a try!" Everyone closed their eyes, concentrated their minds, and transformed their beliefs and hopes into an invisible force that converged towards Liu Sijun.

Liu Sijun felt this power, and a warm current surged in his heart.

She merged this power with the spiritual energy within her body, and then cast the spell again.

A soft light shone from Liu Sijun's hand. This light was different from the previous dazzling light; it was filled with warmth and hope.

The light shot towards the monster, which seemed to sense the threat of this power and tried to dodge.

But the light, as if it possessed a life of its own, followed it closely.

It finally struck the monster's body.

The monster let out a painful roar, its body began to gradually dissipate, and the black mist slowly began to dissipate as well.

Just when everyone thought the monster formed from the heart of the demon god was about to be completely destroyed and breathed a sigh of relief, the monster's body, which had begun to dissipate, suddenly trembled violently.

The black mist, which had been gradually fading away, suddenly condensed again and quickly enveloped the monster's dissipating body once more.

The monster let out an even more shrill roar than before, its voice filled with resentment and rage.

Her body surface began to shimmer with an eerie light, like countless twisted black threads constantly moving across it.

Immediately afterwards, the monster's body began to swell, becoming even larger than before, and an even more powerful evil force erupted from it.

Liu Sijun's expression changed, and he shouted, "Oh no, it hasn't been completely defeated yet!"

She could sense that this new power was several times stronger than the power possessed by the previous monster, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

Gu Changzhou's gaze was firm as he gripped the Molin Sword tightly, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.

Despite facing such a powerful enemy, he showed no sign of backing down.

"Oh no, this monster is even stronger than before!"

Looking at the now-illusory Fire Phoenix, Li Qing was filled with worry.

The Fire Phoenix had already expended a great deal of energy in the previous battles, and now, facing an even more terrifying enemy, it would likely be unable to hold on.

But he gritted his teeth and continued to pour his spiritual power into the Fire Phoenix, trying to restore some of its strength.

Tong Lei witnessed the monster's transformation and his heart tightened, knowing that the situation was critical.

He quickly looked around and saw that the other experts from Wuji Tower were also on high alert, their eyes revealing determination and resolve.

Tong Lei nodded to himself, knowing that at this critical moment of life and death, they had to work together.

He formed a hand seal, and a powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body.

Behind him, a huge golden eagle phantom appeared, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and exuding an aura of majesty.

This is Tong Lei's unique secret technique: the Golden Roc Evil-Slaying Technique. This technique can gather powerful energy to specifically suppress evil things.

"Everyone, listen to my command and cooperate fully!"

Tong Lei shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the space filled with danger.

The experts of Wuji Tower responded one after another, each casting their spells to echo Tong Lei's golden roc phantom, forming a powerful spiritual energy barrier.

At this moment, the monster had swelled to an astonishing size. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out that terrifying black flame once again.

The flames, like a black torrent, swept towards Liu Sijun and the others.
