Chapter 251 Fragments of the Brahma Bowl
Chapter 251 Fragments of the Brahma Bowl
Mo Ze's breathing became increasingly rapid, his forehead covered in sweat, and each swing of his sword felt heavier than ever. Lin Shushu was a little better, but her face was also somewhat pale.
Both of them understood that if things continued this way, they would eventually be defeated by the powerful demons, but they had no intention of backing down.
The commotion was quite significant, quickly attracting the attention of others. But a battle between powerful individuals is not something that others can easily intervene in.
Just as the two were putting up a fierce fight, a loud sword cry pierced the sky. A white figure flew down from the sky like a shooting star and landed on the altar square in an instant. The newcomer was none other than Xiao Jingping.
Although he was busy fighting the enemy outside the city, he also kept an eye on the situation at the altar from time to time. When he noticed something was wrong, he quickly left and rushed back.
Upon landing, without a word, he twirled his sword and attacked the demon warrior. His swordplay was fierce, each strike carrying powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Combined with the attacks of Mo Ze and Lin Shushu, the three of them successfully restrained the demon warrior for a time.
Xiao Jingping's arrival brought the battle to a stalemate. The spiritual energy fluctuations in the plaza grew increasingly intense, and under the impact of the powerful force, stones continued to fall from the surrounding buildings, and the cracks in the ground multiplied, as if telling the story of the fierceness of the battle.
The battle continued. Although the three had temporarily held off the powerful demon, they all knew that this stalemate wouldn't last long. Each time they blocked an attack from the demon, they felt the unfathomable strength of their opponent, and their physical and spiritual energy were rapidly depleting.
While fending off the attacks of the powerful demons, Lin Shushu frantically recalled the mysterious power that the altar had just transmitted to her. When that power appeared, it seemed to have a special rhythm and cadence, but the situation was too urgent for her to think about it in detail.
Furthermore, when the powerful demon tried to touch the groove, the runic power activated by the altar was so powerful that it forced the demon to take several steps back. There must be a key to breaking the deadlock hidden in this.
Lin Shushu took a deep breath, trying to remain calm amidst the fierce battle. Her gaze was fixed on the altar, attempting to catch a trace of that mysterious power again, her mind replaying the image of the runes lighting up.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had caught some crucial information. It turned out that the flashing frequency of these runes was subtly connected to the energy fluctuations hidden within the Star Mirror.
Without hesitation, Lin Shushu took out the Star Mirror, quickly forming hand seals. Under her control, the Star Mirror slowly floated up, emitting a soft light. As she moved, the runes on the altar seemed to be summoned, flickering more and more intensely.
"Now!" Lin Shushu shouted, and the Star Mirror shone brightly, resonating strongly with the runes. In an instant, a vast power surged from the altar runes into the Star Mirror, and then converged on Lin Shushu through the Star Mirror.
A deep blue light enveloped her, and her hair danced wildly under the powerful fluctuations of energy. Lin Shushu felt her entire body brimming with power; the attacks of the demonic warriors were no longer undetectable in her eyes, and every movement and every fluctuation of demonic energy became clear and distinct.
Seeing this, the demon powerhouse felt a sense of unease, but he did not stop his attack. He roared and condensed a huge black ball of spiritual energy in his hands, smashing it towards Lin Shushu and the others.
Lin Shushu smiled confidently and calmly waved the Star Mirror. The Star Mirror shot out a dazzling blue light, which collided with the black spiritual energy ball.
With a loud "boom," the spirit energy ball was instantly shattered, and the powerful impact forced the demon warriors to retreat repeatedly.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Shushu moved with lightning speed, instantly arriving in front of the demon expert. The Star Mirror in her hand shimmered, and beams of blue light containing mysterious power shot out like sharp arrows.
The demon warrior hurriedly tried to defend himself, but under Lin Shushu's powerful attacks, his defenses were gradually broken down.
"Go!" Lin Shushu parted her lips slightly, and the Star Mirror burst forth with a dazzling light, enveloping the demon powerhouse within it.
After the light faded, the demon warrior lay on the ground, his breath weak and powerless to resist. His black robe was tattered, his body covered with shocking wounds, and the surrounding ground was riddled with craters from the powerful impact.
Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping quickly stepped forward and came to Lin Shushu's side. The three of them looked at the fallen demon powerhouse and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to you all today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Xiao Jingping sincerely thanked Lin Shushu and Mo Ze. After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly went to the groove.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze followed in his footsteps and came to his side, looking at the groove together.
Inside lay a quietly glowing object radiating a soft golden light. Its shape was irregular, and its surface was covered with strange runes, which bore some resemblance to those on the altar, yet possessed a unique charm.
Although it was only a part, Lin Shushu and the other two could easily guess that it was part of the Brahma Bowl.
Xiao Jingping reached out to pick it up, but before he could even touch the fragment of the Brahma Bowl, he was blasted away by a powerful force. He hadn't witnessed the demon clan's previous ordeal, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
"What's going on?" he asked anxiously. Now that the fragments of the Brahma Bowl have appeared, leaving them here will only attract more powerful demons if they can't be retrieved.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze shrugged and told him about the encounter of the powerful demons.
Undeterred, Xiao Jingping tried several more times, but was still attacked. Suddenly, he remembered Lin Shushu's last move against the powerful demon. He was absolutely certain he hadn't misread it; she had obtained the power of the altar runes. Perhaps she could succeed?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you give it a try!" In the cultivation world, opportunities are often crucial, and these are things that cannot be obtained through envy.
"Me?" Lin Shushu pointed to herself, asking uncertainly. She wasn't a famous person at all. Wasn't Xiao Jingping afraid that if the Brahma Bowl fell into her hands, she would use it for some bad thing?
"You are able to utilize the power of runes, so you must have some connection with the Brahma Bowl. This is no longer the best place to preserve it. Please, Fellow Daoist Lin, take out the fragments of the Brahma Bowl." Now that the situation is beyond his control, Xiao Jingping can only choose to trust Lin Shushu.
Since that was the case, Lin Shushu did not refuse. She cautiously extended her hand, always on guard against a sudden attack.
However, the instant her fingertips touched the fragment of the Brahma Bowl, a warm and powerful force surged into her body. This force was different from the power she had previously obtained with the help of the Star Mirror and the altar runes, yet it subtly resonated with her.
Seeing that Lin Shushu had successfully obtained the fragment of the Brahma Bowl, Xiao Jingping showed an expression of "I knew it," but his face quickly became worried again.
"Back then, after the major sects used the Brahma Bowl to seal the ancient demon god, in order to prevent someone from stealing the Brahma Bowl and breaking the seal to release the demon god, the Brahma Bowl was divided into six parts and hidden in various places. Now the first part has appeared in the world, and there will probably be more troubles in the future."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Shushu and said, "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lin to come back to the sect with me to discuss the disposal of the Brahma Bowl."
Lin Shushu agreed after a moment's thought. She was now certain that the Brahma Bowl and the teleportation array were connected in some way, which was the key to their return to the Yan Yang Continent. Of course, she had to keep a close eye on this matter.
