Terrifying spiritual power exploded in all directions, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble at that moment.
"Let us push forward with full force! " Feeling the terrifying spiritual energy constantly blocking their approach, Yue Qing acted decisively and shouted.
Upon hearing her words, Liu Bai's expression turned solemn. He stopped holding back, and five-colored spiritual light suddenly surged around him. The light quickly converged above the three of them and finally condensed into a compact thundercloud.
In the next moment, lightning flickered, and the five-colored thunder spread wildly from the three of them. Anyone who touched the lightning was instantly reduced to ashes.
"Misty Divine Art, Flowing Clouds!"
Yue Qing formed hand seals, and suddenly clouds surrounded the three of them. The previously raging spiritual pressure eased abruptly, and their speed increased by thirty percent.
Liu Bai was slightly surprised. He could see that the clouds formed something like a supersonic vacuum shield, deflecting all incoming impacts to the sides, allowing their speed to rise.
This technique was truly extraordinary.
As they continued to approach, Liu Bai could already see the massive figure within the Spiritual Light.
His expression remained calm, but the thundercloud above his head dissipated, and then spiritual seals began to flow from his palms.
Seeing this, Yue Qing and Hua Zinan intentionally slowed their pace to give Liu Bai time to prepare the formation.
Wei Fan and the others did not notice Liu Bai's actions. They only saw the three slowing down, giving them the opportunity to strike first.
"Attack!"
The three did not hold back. With powerful shouts, waves of intense spiritual energy swept outward.
"Great Wilderness Divine Fist!"
"Floating Pagoda Three Blades!"
"Heaven Piercing Spear!"
Facing a Spiritual King, Wei Fan and the others were not foolish enough to hold back. Each strike was a full-strength assault.
The enormous fist, infused with the force of lightning, slammed toward the Spiritual King's chest.
Three hundred-foot-long colossal blades formed and swung down in fury.
The piercing spear, carrying the aura of obliteration, aimed directly at the Spiritual King's throat.
All three were mid-phase Heaven Transformation Realm cultivators and had clearly refined powerful offensive spiritual arts. Their full-strength assault caused those watching from behind to feel a chill.
Yet under this fierce onslaught, the Spiritual King's eyes, shining with dazzling light, did not flicker. It merely stepped forward, leaned its body, and opened its mouth to roar violently.
Roar!
The roar was like thunder. Visible sound waves carried a storm of spiritual power, distorting the space around it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All attacks, whether fists, blades, or spears, exploded upon contact with the storm-like spiritual wave.
Wei Fan and the others grunted in shock, their bodies trembling, faces filled with astonishment.
The combined assault of three top-tier cultivators had been shattered by a single roar from the Spiritual King. Was the strength of a Heaven Completion Realm truly this terrifying?
Across from them, Yue Qing and Hua Zinan's faces also paled.
They had witnessed the attack clearly. Even one strike would have been difficult to withstand, let alone three attacking together.
Yet such a terrifying assault had been shattered by the Spiritual King's roar alone. This power seemed to surpass the early-phase of Heaven Completion Realm.
"The situation has changed. We must be careful! " Yue Qing shouted, warning her companions.
Hua Zinan nodded solemnly. It was now his task.
"I am ready. Trap it! " Liu Bai, surrounded by spiritual seals, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.
He then slapped his hands repeatedly, and the spiritual seals shot up, rapidly merging into the surrounding hundreds of feet of space.
The three had already divided their tasks. Upon hearing Liu Bai's command, Hua Zinan acted without hesitation. His brush appeared in hand, and he spat a mouthful of blood mist, using his essence blood as ink to draw a circle at the Spiritual King's feet.
"Drawing the Prison Circle!"
Hua Zinan's eyes glared with fury as he shouted.
In the next moment, the crimson circle erupted into a red light screen, trapping the Spiritual King within.
"Misty Divine Art, Hidden Fog Layers!"
Yue Qing unleashed all her spiritual power. Her hair, previously tied neatly, now cascaded like a waterfall, and the once serene fairy instantly became a raging Valkyrie.
Layers of clouds quickly formed, covering the crimson light screen, adding another layer of shackles to the Spirit King.
This scene caused Wei Fan and the others to turn pale.
"Impossible. Yue Qing and the others have acted! "
Xing Rui, who had suffered minor injuries from the Spiritual King's counterattack, scoffed. "This woman is suicidal. She thinks she can trap the Spiritual King with her Misty Divine Art? Does she think the Spiritual King is me? "
When Xing Rui had previously challenged Yue Qing, he had been trapped by this very Misty Divine Art for three days and nights. In the end, he was forced to admit defeat. Then Luo Gu surpassed him, leaving him in eighth place on the Heavenly List.
"You really have no shame. After being trapped for three days, you still have the face to speak! " Luo Gu said, looking at the reckless man with contempt.
"So what? You were also trampled by a woman. What right do you have to criticize me? " Xing Rui retorted boldly.
Wei Fan looked at the two, utterly speechless.
Now the Spiritual King was essentially under their control, and you two still have time to bicker?
He suddenly regretted joining forces with these two. They were far too unreliable.
"Enough. Focus on the current situation! "
Wei Fan no longer wanted to deal with them. His expression shifted, and an ancient aura radiated from him.
"Heaven Piercing Spear Technique, First Form, Earth Split! "
With a violent shout, a golden ancient giant rose from Wei Fan. The giant roared toward the sky and then condensed a hundred-foot-long spear in its hands. Using it like a staff, it slammed directly toward the trapped Spiritual King.
Before the spear could strike, a terrifying pressure descended. Within a hundred feet of the Spiritual King, countless Spiritual Soldiers and several Spiritual Generals were destroyed under the crushing force.
At that moment, Yue Qing and Hua Zinan both turned pale. Already barely holding on, the two could no longer maintain under the dual strike from the Spiritual King and Wei Fan, and their formations shattered violently.
Roar!
The Spiritual King, breaking free, erupted in an extreme roar. Its furious spiritual energy shot skyward and collided with the massive spear.
Boom!
The impact sent shockwaves that threw everything around violently.
Those clearing Spiritual Soldiers on the outskirts suddenly felt a fierce storm and saw gigantic figures descending from the sky.
"Retreat quickly! "
Seeing a Spiritual general suddenly land in front of them, the captain of one small squad shouted in panic, then rolled and scrambled away.
This scene was not happening to just this one unlucky person.
The Spiritual soldiers and generals originally surrounding the Spiritual King were all powerful beings. They were not so easy to deal with. This single strike alone threw the entire battlefield into chaos.
"I can't hold on!" Hua Zinan looked toward Liu Bai, pleading for help.
At this moment, Liu Bai, with a serious expression, suddenly moved both hands. A massive array slowly formed in the sky. Countless streams of spiritual energy shot out, interweaving to form a complex and enormous formation, faintly sketching a vast and intricate diagram in the heavens.
Boom boom.
The spiritual energy of this land surged violently, flowing like streams of light, continuously pouring into the array.
Accompanied by the roar of dragons, a fire dragon appeared again, condensing in the sky into a giant dragon-shaped cauldron.
"This array is quite powerful."
Wei Fan's expression changed slightly as he stared at the enormous cauldron, his eyes narrowing. He could sense that this array possessed tremendous power, likely enough to genuinely threaten the Spiritual King.
Everyone was shocked. Whoever could set up such a massive array could probably remain undefeated even against the top three on the Heavenly Ranking. When did Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy produce such a terrifying array master?
"An array master. Is this Liu Bai's work? When did he learn to set up such a fearsome array?" Luo Gu also looked at the sky in astonishment.
"It seems we all underestimated this newcomer. After this hunting battle, their ranking will probably surpass ours."
Wei Fan let out a sigh.
Although he felt some resentment, what could he do? This person had only been enrolled for half a year and already possessed such terrifying strength. Imagine another half year of growth.
Wei Fan could not even imagine how strong this newcomer would be by the end of the first-year period. By then, it would probably be impossible for him to keep up.
While everyone was stunned by Liu Bai's array, the Spiritual King also suddenly looked toward the massive dragon-shaped cauldron in the sky. Being formed from the spiritual energy of the land, it had an extremely keen perception of such immense spiritual power, and from there, it sensed a shocking force.
This naturally made the Spiritual King feel uneasy.
Roar!
The unease turned into anger. The Spiritual King let out a roar and grabbed a massive rock hundreds of meters in size. Wrapped in spiritual energy, it hurled the rock at the slowly forming array, attempting to destroy it.
Whoosh!
But just as the rock was sent flying, a massive golden spear streaked across, directly shattering the rock into countless fragments that scattered through the air.
Wei Fan's figure appeared in the sky. Facing Yue Qing and the others, he shouted, "Combine forces. We will split the Spiritual soldiers after this."
His intention was clear. He had chosen to abandon the Spiritual King and focus on the massive number of spirit generals.
Yue Qing, who had been preparing to intercept, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Her target was only the Spiritual King. What happened to the others was of little concern.
The Spiritual King roared again, flapping its massive palms and sending a terrifying spiritual energy shockwave toward Wei Fan in the sky.
Wei Fan, unwilling to back down, thrust his spear to join the battle. Under the Spiritual King's frenzied assault, however, he barely managed to hold on before blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. He could only maintain a strained defense.
Seeing this, Yue Qing and Hua Zinan hurriedly attacked as well.
Luo Gu and Xing Rui, who were supposed to be Wei Fan's allies, watched the scene, suddenly unsure what to do.
What if the leader we followed has turned against us? This is urgent!
"Stop daydreaming, Xing Rui. We have to act or we won't even get a share!"
Luo Gu, thinking quickly, immediately understood the situation and chose to join the fight.
Although the two often bickered, at a critical moment Xing Rui still trusted Luo Gu, so he did not hesitate to swing his fists into battle.
The five of them attacked together. Even though the Spiritual King was stronger than an ordinary one, it was forced to defend itself on multiple fronts. However, their attacks were not enough to deal a fatal blow.
It could only be said that the five of them scratching the surface was harmless. In the end, they had to rely on Liu Bai's array.
Although this all sounded lengthy, it actually all happened within just a few minutes. Thanks to their delay, Liu Bai's array finally reached full formation.
"Yue Qing, retreat!"
Liu Bai shouted, quickly moving his hands. The massive cauldron began to operate with a rumble. The space inside the cauldron seemed to boil at this moment.
Unlike the situation with Fan Tong and the others, the Spiritual King's strength was too great. Using ordinary divine fire within the array would not be sufficient to subdue it in a short time.
Liu Bai had spent ten thousand experience points to upgrade the Divine Cauldron Heavenly Refining Array from basic to minor Mastery, in order to unleash greater power.
Hearing Liu Bai's warning, Yue Qing quickly led the others out of the battlefield.
Once the five had retreated from the array's range, Liu Bai formed the hand seals. The air inside the cauldron immediately turned bright red, as if about to ignite.
Boom!
The red heat instantly burned upon contact with the Spiritual King's immense spiritual energy. Even the Spiritual King's body began to be gradually steamed away by the terrifying flames.
"Divine Cauldron Heavenly Refining Array!"
Liu Bai's expression was solemn. His low and cold voice slowly carried across.
Rumble!
As his command fell, the entire array detonated completely. Outside the valley, countless people who had escaped to safe positions watched the sky fill with red flames, converging as if forming fire clouds. They surged across the sky, sweeping mercilessly toward the massive Spiritual King.
Roar! Roar!
Terrifying roars echoed from within the flames. Violent waves of spiritual energy surged one after another.
No matter how the Spiritual King struggled, it could not escape the suppression of the dragon-shaped cauldron above. Its once radiant and enormous body gradually dimmed and disintegrated within the flames.
