At the last critical moment, both Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan unleashed their most formidable techniques, and these ultimate techniques were the Divine Spirit Aspects of the deities they each worshipped.
The two Aspects clashed, and though it was but a fleeting instant, that instant unleashed a destructive power that filled Yang Haoran and the others with dread.
In the air, Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan successively regained their footing, both turning their gazes towards each other.
Both were heavily wounded and in dire straits, yet their eyes held not a trace of timidity, nor any intention of compromising due to their injuries.
Everyone present, including the Spirit Masters within the protective barrier, had their attention fixed on Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan. Yang Haoran alone was an exception.
At this moment, Yang Haoran withdrew his gaze from the two, turning it instead towards the statue on the high platform.
Previously, he hadn't believed in the existence of "Spirit Gods" in this world. He thought everything Mo Jingnan said was merely a means to control Spirit Masters, and thus paid no mind to the Spirit God statue on the high platform.
Had Mo Jingnan sent all the living Spirit Masters onto the high platform to protect them?
From Yang Haoran's perspective, perhaps. But this protection was certainly not simple, for Mo Jingnan needed these Spirit Masters to pray to the Spirit God statue; once these Spirit Masters were all dead, no one would be left to pray to the statue.
Mo Jingnan's act of protecting the Spirit Masters not only achieved the goal of having them pray to the Spirit God statue but also earned him the Spirit Masters' goodwill and trust. It was, one might say, killing two birds with one stone.
Yang Haoran understood this, but before, he hadn't thought the Spirit Masters' prayers to the Spirit God statue would yield any real results—at most, it would just be a form of spiritual solace.
Now, however, his thoughts had changed. Remembering the Spirit Aspect Mo Jingnan had just summoned, and recalling Mo Jingnan's previous words and actions, an ominous premonition stirred within him.
He had a faint feeling that the Spirit Masters' prayers to the Spirit God statue were not as simple as they had initially believed; it was entirely possible these Spirit Masters might truly conjure something.
With this vigilance in mind, he subtly slid his hand into his pocket, grasping the phone inside his trousers. He unlocked the screen, his finger beginning to swipe across it.
No one noticed Yang Haoran's movements, as everyone's attention was currently focused on Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan high above.
Both men were panting heavily. After several seconds of eye contact, Huo Laoban's lips curved into a faint smile as he lightly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You've surprised me greatly," Huo Laoban said with a smile. "But it's all over now. Tonight, you Spirit Masters are destined to perish here."
"Heh heh, from your words, it seems you still have fight left in you. Can you summon your Death God's Law Aspect one more time? " Mo Jingnan asked Huo Laoban, his exaggerated smile still plastered on his face.
"Indeed, I no longer have the ability to summon the Death God's Law Aspect again, but neither do you have the power to summon that intimidating Spirit Aspect of yours. However, my current state is better than yours, and furthermore, they are not to be trifled with."
Huo Laoban replied with a smile, then pointed to the six individuals of Yang Haoran's group below. His meaning was clear: even if he was no longer capable, Yang Haoran and his five companions were more than enough to eliminate all the Spirit Masters present.
"Hahahahaha! Whether they are to be trifled with, I don't know, but I do know that we Spirit Masters are not. You won't win tonight. Not only will you not win, but you will all die here!"
Mo Jingnan burst into laughter, still as maniacal as before. His severe injuries had done nothing to change that.
Seeing Mo Jingnan's extreme confidence, Huo Laoban scoffed, then asked, "You're remarkably confident, but do you truly believe I'll fall for such boasts?"
As his words fell, Huo Laoban's Soul Armament, the Petrification Eye, once again reflected Mo Jingnan's shadow. He hadn't attacked immediately because he needed a moment to recover. Now that his body had somewhat recuperated, he had no intention of wasting more words on Mo Jingnan. He would use his remaining strength to eliminate Mo Jingnan first, leaving the rest to Yang Haoran and his team.
Although he had little power left, he felt it was entirely sufficient to deal with Mo Jingnan. This time, he was confident he could petrify Mo Jingnan with a single strike, and then all he would need was one more casual blow to shatter Mo Jingnan's physical body.
Everyone present saw that Huo Laoban was about to attack Mo Jingnan. Naturally, Yang Haoran's side hoped Huo Laoban would quickly make his move and eliminate Mo Jingnan, preventing future trouble.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Masters within the barrier, devoid of their earlier excitement and fervor, felt a renewed surge of unease. They, too, believed that Mo Jingnan, in his current state, absolutely could not survive Huo Laoban's attack. Once Mo Jingnan died, they would surely perish as well. Thus, they desperately hoped Mo Jingnan had a hidden card, yearning for a miracle to appear, or else they would meet their end tonight.
In stark contrast to them, Mo Jingnan's expression was the exact opposite. He also knew Huo Laoban was about to attack him, and he knew his current state wouldn't allow him to withstand another blow from Huo Laoban. Yet, he remained utterly unconcerned. Far from showing any tension, his facial expression grew even more exaggerated than before.
"Heh heh, you don't believe it now, but you will soon enough."
Mo Jingnan replied with a smile, his tone full of certainty.
"Oh, really? Then I shall wait and see. But before that, kindly surrender your life to me."
As his words fell, intense killing intent erupted from Huo Laoban's eyes. But just at this crucial moment, he seemed to sense something, and his gaze immediately darted towards the high platform.
His eyes landed on the Spirit God statue on the high platform, and at that instant, his face changed drastically.
His reaction naturally fell into the eyes of everyone else present. Seeing Huo Laoban's expression suddenly undergo such a profound change, as if he had witnessed something astonishing, they all subconsciously turned their gazes towards the high platform.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Spirit God statue on the high platform was now actually emitting a faint wisp of Yin Qi. Though very faint, it was undeniably present.
The Spirit God statue was originally an inanimate object, merely a statue. Under normal circumstances, it would not emit Yin Qi. Yet, the current scene was utterly abnormal.
Yang Haoran and his five companions reacted in the same way as Huo Laoban; their expressions all changed simultaneously, faces filled with disbelief.
As for the Spirit Masters within the barrier, they too were astonished by what they saw. However, their emotions were more inclined towards pleasant surprise. In their eyes, for them, whose defeat had seemed certain tonight, a miracle truly seemed to be unfolding!
With the elation written on their faces, the Spirit Masters within the barrier felt their unease diminish, replaced by heightened anticipation for the miracle to occur.
The next instant, the space before the statue rippled violently, and a pair of hands, as white as snow, appeared. These hands had long, slender fingers, possessing an indescribable beauty.
Though beautiful, they were violently so. The intensely vibrating space was forcibly torn open by these hands, revealing a slender figure.
It was a woman with fair skin. She appeared very young, perhaps in her early twenties, with an oval face, beautiful features, and a fiery figure—she was undeniably a rare beauty in this world.
Under everyone's gaze, she slowly stepped out of the spatial rift.
Everyone present fixed their gaze upon her. Some were shocked by her beauty, but more were astonished by her strength and identity.
Although the woman's body wasn't emitting overly intense power fluctuations at this moment, her ability to directly tear space within the barrier was enough to demonstrate the terrifying extent of her strength.
The barrier deployed by Mo Jingnan was, in essence, a restrictive formation. Its primary purpose was protection, and thus it possessed no other functions beyond that; it didn't even block power fluctuations from inside or outside the barrier.
While it had no other extraneous functions, the barrier's defensive power was evident to everyone present. Even the combined efforts of Yang Haoran and his five companions couldn't break it open in a short time. Yet, this young woman, who had just appeared, completely ignored the barrier's presence, directly tearing space to appear within it. Without absolute power, this would have been utterly impossible!
Besides being stunned by her power, what was even more shocking was her identity. The fact that the power emanating from her body was Communication Power was enough to prove her identity as a Spirit Master.
