Chapter 1573: Chapter 180: Divine Dragon Reincarnation_2
Xuan Yue responded irritably, "Don’t flatter me, Sheng Xie, let’s move quickly. The further we can get in, the better."
Ah Dai embraced Xuan Yue’s delicate form, smiling as he said, "This time we should be able to get through a few more stages. You rest behind Sheng Xie for now. If any enemies appear later, leave it to us."
Xuan Yue smiled gently and said, "Be careful then." With that, she immediately sat on Sheng Xie’s broad back, holding the Golden Horn in front of her with one hand, while her other hand clasped the Angel Wand to her chest, beginning to meditate quickly. This second entry into the Death Mountain Range was much smoother than the first; they had breezed through four stages with ease, something they hadn’t anticipated at all. The Death Mountain Range spanned millions of square kilometers, and they were now only two-thirds of the way from the center. Ah Dai surveyed the surroundings, fully releasing his spiritual sense, ready at any moment to face new challenges.
Suddenly, Ah Dai felt a chill envelop his entire body and shivered inexplicably. His heart tightened as he focused his attention forward, yet he found no trace of any enemy. A groaning sound came from behind; Ah Dai turned to see Kino and Olivia trembling continuously, half-kneeling on Sheng Xie’s back, appearing extremely distressed. However, Xuan Yue was enveloped in a layer of golden light, her delicate face remaining calm, exhibiting no abnormalities. The foreboding sensation continuously assaulted Ah Dai’s body. He was startled to find vague and lamenting sighs ringing in his ears, as if something was beckoning him.
Two plumes of golden light emanated from the golden rings on Kino and Olivia’s fingers. Their expressions calmed somewhat, though their faces were eerily pale. The speed of Sheng Xie’s pace suddenly slowed, its massive body beginning to tremble slightly. The seven golden horns on its back emitted a strong golden light, transforming into seven beams of energy shooting into the air.
"Ah—" A piercing scream suddenly echoed in Ah Dai’s ear. The extremely bleak sound sent chills down Ah Dai’s spine. The light emitted from the golden horns on Sheng Xie’s back quickly enveloped everyone, and the chilling sensation vanished, but through his mental connection with Sheng Xie, Ah Dai could clearly sense that its energy was rapidly depleting. It was apparent that using the Divine Energy from the golden horns for protection was exceedingly strenuous. Through the golden energy radiating from Sheng Xie, Ah Dai finally saw the source of the chilling sensation. Wisps of nearly transparent energy drifted continuously through the air; though they dared not assault Sheng Xie’s energy, their numbers were increasing, accumulating around the boundary of Sheng Xie’s energy field.
Ah Dai hurriedly used his voice transmission to awaken Xuan Yue. When Xuan Yue saw the scene before her, she couldn’t help but cry out, "Ah, these are Resentful Spirits! Why are there so many Resentful Spirits!"
Ah Dai replied with a wry smile, "This might be the fifth stage of the Death Mountain Range. Earlier, when Sheng Xie hadn’t released the Divine Energy, we all felt cold. What happened?"
Xuan Yue said solemnly, "Resentful Spirits are shapeless evil entities formed by the cursed souls of those who died unjustly. They inherently possess strong cursing abilities and can possess others. Should we be attacked by Resentful Spirits, they will occupy our bodies, and our souls will be assimilated. Compared to the spiders from earlier, they are far more formidable. Everyone, be careful not to let them get close. To deal with them, only powerful Sacred-class Magic can suffice. With so many Resentful Spirits, I’m afraid at least Level Eight Magic is required to contend with them. Ah Dai, you support Sheng Xie for a bit, and I’ll take over." As she spoke, she had already raised her Angel Wand.
Ah Dai grabbed Xuan Yue’s hand and said, "Wait a moment."
Xuan Yue hesitated and said, "We can’t wait. Sheng Xie’s energy isn’t purely Sacred; it might not hold out for much longer!"
Ah Dai gazed deeply at Xuan Yue and said in a firm voice, "You just used the Fire Phoenix, consuming much of your Magic Power. Furthermore, you need to maintain contact with the Space Teleportation Formation; you must conserve your Magic Power. Let me do it."
Xuan Yue replied, "You? How can you manage? The Light Magic from Dragon’s Blood isn’t sufficient."
Ah Dai smiled confidently and said, "Ever since reaching the Sword Saint Realm, my spiritual power has increased greatly. I believe I now have the capability to use Divine Dragon Reincarnation, the ultimate attack magic from Dragon’s Blood. Trust me, I can do it."
Surprise flashed in Xuan Yue’s eyes, followed by joy as she said, "Ah! How could I have forgotten about Divine Dragon Reincarnation? Very well then, it’s up to you. However, be prepared; if you cannot disperse the Resentful Spirits, withdraw Sheng Xie immediately, and I will activate Space Magic at once."
Ah Dai nodded, taking a deep breath, focusing all his thoughts on the Dragon’s Blood at his chest. While it had been a long time since he last used spiritual power, his spiritual cultivation now surpassed that of Olivia and Kino. Relying solely on his control over Magic Elements and the purity of his Magic Power, he had already entered the Realm of a Magician.
By now, the Resentful Spirits on the periphery were gathering increasingly more, forming an extremely thick black mist encircling everyone against the backdrop of Sheng Xie’s Divine Energy. Due to the overwhelming burden, Sheng Xie’s body had begun to tremble slightly. The pressure brought by the myriad undead was pushing it to the brink of collapse.
