Chapter 232 The eight tails dazzle the demon and shine in the starry sky, cut the heart and protect the road to determine life and death [two-in-one]

The area within the barrier had transformed into a boundless sea of ​​blood, with the filthy aura sweeping across the surroundings like a tangible wave.

The twelve crystal pillars at the edge, like pillars supporting the sky, expand the barrier space to its limit.

However, because Feng Mingyue unexpectedly escaped from confinement, the rift failed to tear open as expected.

The other two crystal pillars at the center had long been absorbed by the crack, becoming nourishment for its tearing and expansion.

The rift resembled a demonic eye hanging upside down in the center of the blood pool barrier, with a giant, pale hand filled with purplish-black pupils struggling to extend half of its torso.

With each of its movements, it exuded a suffocating pressure of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, causing rocks to silently crumble around it and the earth to groan in despair.

"elder brother!"

A piercing scream tore through the heavy air.

When Feng Mingyue heard Tang Hao say that he could only suppress it and not dispel it, her already pale face turned even paler.

She hugged her brother tightly, letting out a suppressed sob.

Feng Mingyue naturally couldn't blame Tang Hao; if it weren't for the exceptional effect of his [Great Sun Glazed Light], she would have been completely corrupted by now.

Moreover, for some reason, she simply couldn't bear to blame Tang Hao in the slightest, let alone take her anger out on him.

Helpless, she could only hold Feng Mingyang firmly, constantly monitoring the condition of her brother's wounds.

Feng Mingyang was in extremely dangerous condition. His left abdomen had been completely pierced, and a thick, black liquid was writhing and multiplying wildly deep inside the wound. It was a nascent soul-level parasite originating from the skin thief's main body.

Biting her lip tightly, Feng Mingyue tried her best not to cry. Her heart was filled with self-blame. Even though the wound was not her intention, her brother was ultimately hurt by her.

Seeing her like that, Tang Hao felt bad too.

He couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Sister Jue is very powerful and will definitely be able to kill that monster. Before that, I will do my best to suppress the parasitic progress."

As he spoke, Tang Hao took out a pill and put it into Feng Mingyang's mouth, while his other hand hovered above Feng Mingyang's dantian, with pure and condensed golden flames bursting from his palm.

The Great Sun Glazed Light was operating at full power, like the hottest yet gentlest furnace, suppressing the filthy origin that was trying to erode Feng Mingyang's nascent soul and spirit.

However, while this suppression cannot be said to be on the verge of collapse, it is certainly precarious.

The light and the black energy were locked in a fierce tug-of-war at the point where they met on his body. Each counterattack of the black energy caused Feng Mingyang's whole body to convulse, and black blood spilled from his mouth.

Without hesitation, Tang Hao activated the sword pill, which, together with the Hunyuan Golden Pill, powered the [Great Sun Glazed Light].

The effects of the two golden pills immediately became apparent, stabilizing the intense tug-of-war between the light flames and the black energy.

Only then did he realize that after the yang energy entered his body, the nature of the primordial energy underwent a change, and it was now able to completely maintain the balanced operation of the two golden cores.

Even though this wasn't a happy time, a hint of joy still flashed through his heart.

With ample mana and a temporarily stable front, Tang Hao was able to focus his attention on the main battlefield.

Yan Yumin's [Water Mirror - Thousand Waves] transformed into a resilient and sturdy barrier of azure waves, desperately resisting the filthy, bloody rain that poured down from time to time.

The water trembled violently, and her face turned slightly pale.

Meanwhile, Bai Jue wielded the moon wheel, which flew endlessly, constantly reaping the pale arms and purplish-red tentacles.

The enormous form, filled with eyeballs, exuded a powerful evil force that resonated with the entire filthy blood abyss, far surpassing the previous Nascent Soul level skin-stealing puppets.

Her gaze was fixed on the twisted, gigantic half of the body in the center of the rift. Her face was expressionless, but deep within her eyes, silver light rapidly gathered like a starburst.

"Boom!"

The colossal body within the rift seemed to sense the threat; it let out a low growl, and the entire pool of blood boiled in response.

Instead of monotonous arms and tentacles, countless giant claws, fangs, and spears formed from viscous blood and white bone fragments rained down like a barrage of cannonballs.

The filthy energy torrent instantly engulfed the entire sky above the Blood Abyss, ignoring the vast Nightmare Legion and targeting Tang Hao and his companions in the core area.

"Crack——!"

Yan Yumin's water mirror emitted a cracking sound as it struggled to withstand the pressure, and the small space it protected seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"We can't protect them anymore..."

Bai Jue whispered, as if sighing, or perhaps making a declaration.

Just as the filth was about to engulf everyone...

"Zheng——!"

A clear and melodious fox cry pierced the heavens and earth, instantly overpowering the roar of the sea of ​​blood and the howls of the monsters.

Beneath Bai Jue's feet, icy blue light patterns suddenly exploded like ripples, sweeping across all directions.

Her long hair instantly turned into a frosty, silvery-white fluttering in the air, and the gentle moonlight surrounding her was replaced by a more ancient, vast, and majestic aura.

The void has cracked open!
It was not a distortion of magic, but the lament of space itself.

Eight colossal shadows, stretching from the sky to the earth, tore through the thick, blood-red sky and stretched out horizontally.

Those were not illusions, but eight towering tails, solid and solid, like ice crystal mountains.

Each fox tail emanates a unique yet harmonious divine radiance: ice blue, silver white, moonlight... and a deep, eerie spatial light!

When the eight tails come to this world, the sun and the moon shine together!
Space was forcibly confined and distorted like a tattered rag under the immense power of the Eight-Tails' manifestation.

The three giant tails on the left silently stirred, and a massive vortex of spatial turbulence instantly formed in front of the blood tide.

That devastating torrent of filth, whether bone spears or blood claws, was as if swallowed by an invisible giant maw, dragged and swept into the chaotic spatial currents, disappearing without a trace.

The main body of the [Skin Thief] emitted a shriek of pain mixed with rage, and hundreds of eyes turned to Bai Jue at the same time, with a surge of purplish-black light, attempting to disrupt the laws of space.

But with a slight tremor of the three fox tails, the spatial turbulence suddenly contracted and exploded!
An invisible force of spatial cutting surged back along the path of the blood tide, carving countless deep wounds into the surface of the giant arm, with foul blood gushing out like a waterfall.

Two enormous tails to the right rear, carrying an extreme chill that seemed to come from the deepest depths of the netherworld, plunged fiercely into the churning sea of ​​blood.

There was no violent explosion, only silent contamination and freezing.

Wherever the fox's tail passed, the filthy, boiling blood instantly lost all its vitality, the scarlet color was covered by ice blue, and the rolling waves solidified into hideous blood ice sculptures.

The bone-chilling cold spread rapidly like a plague, freezing not only the surface of the sea of ​​blood but also penetrating deep into the abyss of blood.

The countless tiny, pale arms clinging to the edge of the crack instantly stiffened, shattered into ice shards, and fell down in a flurry.

In the blink of an eye, the entire sea of ​​blood transformed into a vast, eerily silent ice field, a tapestry of crimson and icy blue.

The biting cold even made Tang Hao feel a slight sluggishness in the flow of his magical power.

The remaining three giant tails swayed in the air, stirring up the clouds in the sky.

In the sky, a huge, silvery moon phantom appeared out of thin air. It was not gentle, but rather a wheel of moonlight with a sense of judgment and extreme coldness.

With its three tails coiling together, the moonlight converged into a silver torrent waterfall that pierced the heavens and earth, like a celestial river pouring down, fiercely cascading over the half-giant body in the crevice.

Wherever the torrent of moonlight reached, those purplish-black eyeballs, filled with curses and malice, were the first to be affected.

The pure power of purification clashed violently with the essence of filth.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

A series of chilling explosions rang out.

Nearly a hundred eyeballs burst one after another like punctured balloons, and the viscous, blackish-yellow liquid that had just seeped out was washed away, purified, and evaporated by the subsequent moonlight.

The colossal body convulsed and struggled in agony, emitting soul-shaking cries as it tried to shrink back into the rift, but was firmly restrained by the solidified blood ice and the stable spatial force around it.

Only one appearance, one move!
The power of the Eight-Tails can turn the tide!
"A great opportunity!" Tang Hao's spirits lifted, and he was overjoyed.

There was no time to think about what Bai Jue's move represented. He dared not relax his grip on the [Great Sun Glazed Light] in his left hand, and the glazed golden light pillar firmly locked the black aura from Feng Mingyang's wound.

His right hand moved rapidly in a sword-sword gesture.

The [Judgment] sword, under his mental control, transformed into a black-gold lightning bolt that tore through the sky.

The sixth move of the Nine Gazes Sword Technique – [Jiazi Six Paths Lock Reincarnation]!
This time, he didn't sever the physical tentacles. Instead, he severed the fleshy "roots" that had shattered under the moonlight and were frantically growing in the pervasive filth, attempting to reconnect the giant arm.

As the sword flashed, the invisible channel of Yin energy was precisely severed, and a faint "humming" sound echoed in the space.

The remaining elite soldiers of the Nightmare Legion, like sharks smelling blood, instantly formed a formation under Tang Hao's divine sense guidance.

Crystal walls appeared out of thin air, like shriveled sponges, greedily absorbing the pure yet evil filth that had dissipated after the "roots" were severed.

This energy, which should have nourished the Skin Thief, was forcibly transformed into pure Yin energy by the energy circuit within the crystal wall and flowed back into the Nightmare Kingdom.

"Yu Mian!" Bai Jue's cold voice rang out.

The two were of one mind, and Yan Yumin was already poised to act: "Understood!"

【Water Mirror - Myriad Splendors of Heaven】

With a wave of her slender hand, the enormous water mirror in front of her instantly split and multiplied, transforming into tens of thousands of tiny rhomboid water mirrors that covered the entire ice field.

They are like the most precise array of prisms, capturing and refracting the moonlight that pours down from the white moon, yet is not completely consumed.

In an instant, billions of purifying light blades, as thin as hair yet incomparably sharp, intertwined in the air to form a massive net of light covering the entire Blood Abyss.

It landed with perfect precision on the giant arm of the [Skin Thief], deep within the wounds of the eyeballs that had been blasted apart by the moonlight.

The light blade spread and cut inward along the unhealed wound, precisely slicing through the dark red tubing that connected to the core, like nerve endings.

Although it cannot completely sever the main body, it greatly slows down its self-repair and energy absorption speed.

The giant arm within the rift writhed wildly, and all its eyeballs gleamed with resentment and rage.

The frozen surface of the blood pool trembled violently with a "crackling" sound as it struggled frantically.

"Sister Jue, watch out for the ice!"

[Mysterious Tortoise Concealing Mind Technique] Warning signs flashed wildly, just as Tang Hao shouted his warning.

"Roar--!"

The Skin Thief roared with hatred.

The remains frozen in the crimson glacier, whether they were Nascent Soul level monsters killed by Bai Jue earlier or lower-level cannon fodder from before, all began to tremble violently at the same time.

Instead of trying to break free from the ice, driven by their filthy consciousness, they chose the most extreme and terrifying method.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Like firecrackers being lit, hundreds of frozen, bloody, and skeletal remains exploded violently without warning.

The frozen flesh and bones transformed into the most penetrating and corrosive fragments of rotting flesh, mixed in with the shattered crimson ice crystals, like thousands of poisoned bone arrows, shooting wildly upwards against the direction of freezing.

The target was none other than the peerless white-clad figure hovering at the base of the eight towering tails directly in front of the rift.

Even more deadly, these flesh and ice crystals, containing the core corrupting power of the [Skin Thief], attracted each other and coalesced during their trajectory.

In an instant, it wove into countless enormous, viscous, constantly writhing and proliferating purplish-black fleshy nets that emitted a strong mental interference.

It covered the sky and the sun, enveloping Bai Jue and the people behind her.

With this strike, the main body of the [Skin Thief] drained all the filthy essence accumulated within the blood pool barrier.

Its power is so great that it can corrode the soul, defile spiritual treasures, and erode space itself.

The light from the fox tail that sealed off the space flickered erratically.

Yan Yumin's water mirror light blade was corroded and dissolved by the fleshy net.

Even the enormous moon above Bai Jue's head appeared slightly dim.

"Humph!"

Bai Jue's cold snort carried a hint of genuine anger.

The eight giant tails danced simultaneously, and the vast moonlight surged out like a tide, resisting the erosion of the filthy flesh net.

But... she needs time.

This hasty, all-out defense left a fatal gap for Tang Hao and the seriously injured Feng siblings behind her.

A relatively small net of flesh broke through the outermost edge of Moonbeam's defenses.

Like a venomous python, it lunged at Tang Hao, who was focused on maintaining the Great Sun Glazed Light and seemed to have no time to spare for anything else.

At the critical moment.

"Get out of my way! You heretic!"

A furious shout was accompanied by a resolute flash of sword light.

Feng Mingyue, who had been struggling to support him all along, the girl who had just gotten rid of the parasite, suddenly stood in front of Tang Hao.

She held tightly in her hand a short sword of exceptional quality, which was clearly given to her by Feng Mingyang on short notice.

Her eyes burned with a reckless madness and an unwavering devotion to protecting her brother.

Feng Mingyue staked all her remaining magical power on this.

A dazzling amber-colored sword aura erupted, yet carried a tragic aura of mutual destruction, slashing straight towards the filthy net of flesh.

"Mingyue!" Feng Mingyang's eyes were bloodshot. He tried to stop her despite his pain, but the movement aggravated his abdominal wound, and he spat out black blood again.

"Pfft!"

The power of filth easily shattered the girl's sword aura.

The meat net remained unscathed, like the shadow of death, continuing to loom over the area.

"presumptuous!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

One of them was Tang Hao's fury. He drew his sword and unleashed the [Judgment] technique in an attempt to intercept the attack.

The other was Bai Jue's cold judgment.

It seemed that Feng Mingyue was about to be devoured...

"Crack——!"

The frozen space and time seemed to be cleaved open by an extreme sharpness.

That was neither from Tang Hao's [Judgment] sword, nor from Bai Jue's moonlight or spatial power.

It was Yan Yumin.

Just as the meat net was about to touch Feng Mingyue's hair, Yan Yumin's figure appeared strangely in front of her.

This beautiful woman, who had been primarily using the Water Mirror Technique for assistance, was now radiating a sharp and piercing aura that seemed to penetrate the void and sever all cause and effect.

Her fingers were pressed together like swords, and a clear, dreamlike light flowed from her fingertips, so real it could cut through space.

【Water Mirror, Heartfelt Design】

There was no earth-shattering roar.

The clear light, like moonlight gliding across the water, swiftly and smoothly sliced ​​through the oncoming net of filth and flesh.

There was no explosion, no shock wave.

The fleshy net swept by the light seemed to have never existed, silently vanishing into nothingness.

Only a small fragment remained at the edge, continuing to rush forward like a headless fly, only to be completely shattered by Tang Hao's follow-up sword strike.
