Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 286

The powerful figures wore solemn expressions, all of them startled. They gripped their magical weapons tightly and launched a coordinated attack on the Nine Heavens Emperor.

Despite being surrounded by the crowd, the Nine Heavens Emperor showed no fear whatsoever.

Despite being outnumbered, he fought back relentlessly.

In an instant, an astonishing power erupted from his body, as if it would tear the world apart.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was ablaze with dazzling light. Various colorful spells collided in the air, unleashing deafening roars that sent chills down one's spine.

The onlookers were also stunned by the intense battle, their eyes wide open, not daring to miss a single moment.

Although Gu Shihan and the others inside the barrier were temporarily safe, they were extremely anxious when they saw Ling Xu and the other powerful figures gradually struggling in their battle against the Nine Heavens Emperor.

"Is this Nine Heavens Emperor really that powerful?" Duan Siqi murmured in disbelief, her face full of surprise.

Shi Qinghan, who was standing to the side, stared intently at the center of the battlefield. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Something's not right! The Nine Heavens Emperor's spiritual power is very strange. It seems to be able to assimilate the immortal spiritual power of Senior Lingxu and the others. In other words, he is using the immortal spiritual power of Senior Lingxu and the others to launch an attack!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and looked at each other in disbelief.

Mo Yu frowned deeply, muttering to himself, "What kind of bizarre technique is this? How can it achieve such a level..."

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, and with Ling Xu and the other experts gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, Gu Shihan was extremely anxious and shouted, "What should we do? If this continues, Senior Ling Xu and the others will probably be defeated soon! We must find a way to help them as soon as possible!"

Xingbai emerged from the space and said, "Hanhan, you possess both light and dark spiritual roots, as well as your purification pearl, which should have some restraining effect on the Nine Heavens Emperor. Of course, there's also the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which the Nine Heavens Emperor should be afraid of."

"I understand, Xingbai, thank you for the reminder! I'll go lend a hand to the seniors right away!"

Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, Gu Shihan rushed out of the barrier. She sent the Purification Pearl into a space overflowing with demonic energy. With her hands forming a seal, she forcibly fused light and dark spiritual power, forming a brand new force that attacked the Nine Heavens Emperor.

This power threatened the Nine Heavens Emperor, who was distracted and was severely injured by Lingxu's attack.

The Nine Heavens Emperor roared in anger, unleashing his magical power as if it were free. Gu Shihan was sent flying by the residual force, leaving her powerless to use any more moves.

Fortunately, her divine sense was not injured, and she was able to control the purification bead to move through the demonic energy with peace of mind.

With the purification bead, the demonic energy around the Nine Heavens Emperor was purified considerably. He sensed something unusual while absorbing it, but unfortunately, he was unable to pay attention to Gu Shihan's little tricks in the face of Ling Xu and the others' siege.

At this critical moment, Ling Xu's eyes were sharp as he kept a close eye on the Nine Heavens Emperor's every move, keenly capturing that fleeting flaw.

Without hesitation, he roared, "Now!"

As he shouted, the powerful warriors responded one after another, gathering all their strength to unleash their most powerful and fierce attack moves.

Various magical lights flashed, pressing down on the Nine Heavens Emperor with immense power.

At this moment, despite his extraordinary strength, the Nine Heavens Emperor was ultimately unable to dodge such a dense and powerful attack. With a loud "bang," these attacks struck his vital points squarely.

The severely injured Emperor of the Nine Heavens suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body involuntarily flew backward.

This arrogant emperor did not give up the fight. His eyes, now bloodshot, widened, revealing boundless madness and determination.

On the verge of death, the Nine Heavens Emperor recklessly triggered a forbidden spell.

This spell contains extremely terrifying destructive power. Once it is cast, it will generate a huge explosion centered on the caster, dragging everyone around into an abyss of no return.

At this critical moment of life and death, the illusory spirit power that had been hidden in Gu Shihan's body suddenly surged out automatically as if it had been summoned by some force.

This mysterious and powerful force quickly clashed with the forbidden magic cast by the Nine Heavens Emperor.

The Phantom Spirits within the Moonlit Bracelet clearly sensed the immense crisis Gu Shihan was currently facing.

In order to save Gu Shihan and also to protect their own home—the Moonbracelet—the phantom spirits used all their strength to help Gu Shihan overcome this calamity.

In an instant, the destructive aura of the Nine Heavens Emperor collided violently with the pure power emanating from the phantom spirits.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be torn apart, and intense energy fluctuations spread outwards, stirring up one earth-shattering storm after another.

As the saying goes, good will prevail over evil. After a fierce battle, the power of the phantom spirits finally gained the upper hand.

The originally surging destructive force began to gradually flow back, surging towards the Nine Heavens Emperor like a tide.

The poor Nine Heavens Emperor was completely unable to resist the powerful backlash and was instantly swallowed up.

With a final, piercing scream, the body of the Nine Heavens Emperor was reduced to countless dust particles by the force of this destruction, vanishing into the world without leaving a trace.

Thus, this once mighty overlord finally met his end, disappearing from the world forever without a trace.

Everyone was still shaken. If the Nine Heavens Emperor had succeeded in self-destructing, there would probably be no survivors within a ten-mile radius. Even these self-proclaimed strongmen would be crippled if they didn't die.

Everyone looked at Gu Shihan with gratitude and curiosity in their eyes.

Who is Ling Xu? He immediately saw through everyone's thoughts and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu. If it weren't for you sacrificing the Purification Pearl to purify the demonic energy of the Nine Heavens Emperor, we would all be in trouble. It's just a pity to waste such a unique divine object."

"Purification Pearl? Lingxu, you're saying the Purification Pearl saved us? Isn't the Purification Pearl a divine artifact? How did it end up in the hands of a mere Celestial Immortal?" A white-haired Golden Immortal asked hesitantly.

“Old Shu, this is their good fortune. The nine of them are extraordinary, so it’s not surprising that they were recognized by the Purification Pearl. If you had the Purification Pearl, would you have used it?” Ling Xu asked calmly.

"This..." Everyone had different expressions, and no one answered Ling Xu's question.
