Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 398 - 61: The Encirclement Fails, All Is Lost

Instantly, a vast ripple spread out from the Empress as the center to the surroundings.

Everyone covered by the ripple, except the Empress, soon found themselves freed from the limitations of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and others by the Empress.

But the remaining five Tier Nine entities, including Dugu Hongchen, had their minds flooded with countless information.

They could not handle the information like the God of Cold Abyss.

The skills they were about to use were all interrupted.

In high-tier combat, stagnating for even a moment can decide the outcome.

It seemed the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable was prepared, using ’Cross Binding’ instantly from his palm.

Targeting directly at the Eye Demon.

Meanwhile.

Stabbing Immortal in the void finally made a move as silver light burst from one Tier Nine Demon.

The Void Eye Demon was stacking ’Void Seal’ on it.

Instantly.

Brilliant sword light flashed.

Its head fell off, and even before dying, it was still being bombarded by infinite information.

On the other side, the Eye Demon was bound by the Cross Binding.

Before it could even react, the long-awaited True Martial Demon Vibration Seal mounted on the Eye Demon.

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s fists struck furiously, and the equipment on the Eye Demon was instantly swept clean.

Additionally, all sorts of items in its backpack vanished without a trace.

It was left naked, hung on the shimmering Holy Light cross.

The next moment.

Around the Empress, over fifty thousand petals condensed and fell, connecting through mana.

The entire world seemed to quiver with the Empress’s mana ripple.

These countless petals immediately formed a Petal Tornado around the Eye Demon, constantly unleashing terrifying mana ripples.

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

After transforming to [Divine Embryo·Five Elements].

Her mana consumption was lowered so much that she barely used [Lix Mountain Old Mother]’s descent state, with essentially no consumption.

Moreover, she deconstructed numerous spells using [All Things Sect Technique].

The fifty thousand plus ’petals’ were her limit.

In an instant.

The cross shattered, the Eye Demon melted, resurrected, then melted again...

It fully vanished only after dying three times.

Meanwhile.

The solidified space around seemed to lose its support, and the prior feeling of confinement disappeared.

The Empress and others could return to the Ural Defense Line through Little Pu at any time now.

But given the circumstances, the Empress and others were certainly going to kill all of them.

At the moment the Eye Demon died.

Dugu Hongchen finally digested all the information.

"Voice of All Things!"

The long-prepared Jasper Pool delivered another [Voice of All Things] directly into Dugu Hongchen’s mind.

Causing him once more to fall into a stupor state.

However, Celestial Dao Demon Venerable ignored Dugu Hongchen.

He mounted ’Cross Binding’ onto another Tier Nine who had just regained his senses.

Instantly.

Numerous attacks continued pouring into him.

This time, Stabbing Immortal also took action, and without even a resurrection, he directly melted, only able to utter a scream before dying.

As Dugu Hongchen completely regained composure, he saw except him and one Tier Nine surrounded by Ice Dragon and others.

All were gone.

"How... how is this possible..."

Dugu Hongchen’s mind was still stinging from the flood of information earlier.

But now these pains couldn’t stir his heart or mind.

The situation has turned around; he has no power to resist anymore, even turning a blind eye to Tier Nine being attacked by Ice Dragon.

A silver-white chisel appeared in his hand, space ripple blossomed from his palm.

Attempting to flee with Dugu Hongchen, but at the next moment.

’Cross Binding’ enveloped him suddenly, disrupting the spatial ripple that had just emerged.

’Cross Binding’, being a skill of [Divine Weapon], you might deceive it with skills.

But escaping with tools requires at least a [Divine] quality to contend.

Therefore.

Dugu Hongchen was instantly hung on the ’Cross Binding.’

In the next moment.

Dugu Hongchen knew the power well and transformed into a shadow, escaping the cross just like Dijon did before.

But.

He barely landed when a fist wielding the power to crush void aimed at his landing spot.

All he could do was instinctively defend with magic, invoking roaring Ice Dragons in the void.

But as soon as they formed they were shattered by the fist.

He could only helplessly watch as the fist struck him.

’Bang,’ a sonic boom erupted at the collision of Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s fist and his body.

’Boom—!’

Dugu Hongchen was instantly slammed into the ground; his entire body in severe pain, but he reacted fast.

Countless layers of glistening ice converged before him, creating impenetrable defense.

Following, Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, like a meteor drop, crashed down with a ’boom.’

Terrifying power clashed with the ice, resounding with constant cracking and splintering sounds.

The overwhelming force embedded Dugu Hongchen forcibly into the ice.

"Pfft—!"

Dugu Hongchen felt crushed by a meteor’s force, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn!"

Dugu Hongchen’s mouth was filled with blood; the ambush had utterly failed with six Tier Nine involved.

Even the God of Cold Abyss failed; Shen Fei’s momentum was unstoppable, escalating with unimaginable speed.

His power burgeoned to the pinnacle of Blue Star.

The next moment.

Dugu Hongchen turned to ice crystals, dissolving like ice under sunlight disappeared in place.

"He’s attempting to flee!"

The Empress used [Colorless Realm Divine Power] to encompass thousands of miles.

Saw beneath the ice formation on the ground, a beam of white light frantically escaping.

The next moment.

The restraining power of the Colorless Realm Divine Power locked it momentarily, and the Empress instantly teleported to the location of the white light.

A Yin Yang Five Elements Great Cutting crashed down, three attacks arriving simultaneously, slicing open the ice crust, piercing the white light.

"Pfft!"

The white light revealed Dugu Hongchen’s figure again, his white robe soaked with blood.

His breath weakened to its lowest, his face somberly murmured: "I belong to the Heavenly Pride Club, I am the ancestor of the Dugu Clan, I am willing to submit to your master."

"I..."

Dugu Hongchen hadn’t finished speaking when a fist approached, smashing him instantly, turning him into minced flesh.

In the void, countless ice crystals appeared, then shattered.

Just turned minced flesh, Dugu Hongchen appeared once more, face overwhelmed with terror, "I am serious! I truly submit!"

He even knelt down, uncaring of his disheveled condition, repeatedly bowing.

"You forfeit resistance, leave it to the master for handling when you return!"

Celestial Dao Demon Venerable seemed to receive some message, halted his fist that was about to fall.

Spoke coldly.

"Good—! Good—!"

Dugu Hongchen felt he was saved, nodding promptly, as light enveloped him.

Even when the prompt rang, he dared not resist, directly being sent to the Nine Realms.
