Blood was everywhere.
Countless streams of blood flowed along the crimson patterns into the evil god statue.
"Brother, this place is terrifying!"
Ning Rongrong grabbed Ma Hongjun's hand, somewhat frightened. The evil god statue looked exceptionally malevolent, instilling a sense of unease and unease.
"Don't be afraid, just destroy it."
As someone who had transmigrated, Ma Hongjun held little reverence for gods. In his eyes, gods were merely beings with greater power.
Just as Ma Hongjun felt a surge of fighting spirit and disdain for the evil god statue, the Dragon Soul Spear resonated, and the golden dragon soul reappeared, swirling around the spear.
"Rongrong, use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
Ma Hongjun didn't know if the statue possessed any offensive capabilities, but caution was paramount. After all, the opponent was a god, and anything associated with a god was not easy to deal with.
This was also why he had brought Ning Rongrong over.
The Martial Soul Fusion Technique he and Ning Rongrong used was currently Ma Hongjun's strongest weapon.
Ning Rongrong calmed down. If she were alone, she would be terrified, but with Ma Hongjun by her side, even the most frightening place felt safe. The
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shimmered with light, filled with a holy aura, perfectly complementing the yellow light of the Dragon Soul Spear.
The Dragon Soul Spear was inserted into the base of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the two weapon spirits perfectly inlaid together.
Ma Hongjun's five spirit rings and Ning Rongrong's four spirit rings now surrounded the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Spear.
The dazzling, colorful light contrasted sharply with the blood-red color of the evil god statue. Even before the attack began, the two colors of light were already clashing in the air.
The most powerful was undoubtedly the golden light of the Dragon Soul Spear. The golden light, like a needle tip, pierced straight into the evil god statue. Strands of blood energy were scattered by the golden light, which burned the blood energy like golden flames, turning it into nothingness.
Seemingly sensing the powerful and dangerous aura of the Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear, the evil god statue changed. Its black, hole-like eyes seemed to come alive, countless black flames rolling within their empty sockets.
Then, like a raging inferno, two streams of black flames erupted, rushing towards Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong. An evil aura enveloped them, and Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong immediately felt a growing unease. A
myriad of negative emotions seemed to surge within them.
The rolling black flames threatened to engulf them, as if countless demonic monsters roared and charged towards them from within.
"Rongrong, calm down!"
Ma Hongjun shouted.
Seeing Ning Rongrong frozen in place, suppressed by the power of the black flames, her eyes gradually losing their luster, seemingly trapped in fear, standing there helplessly, awaiting death,
Ma Hongjun grabbed Ning Rongrong, placed her behind him, and held the Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear level.
"Break!"
With a roar, the radiant Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear shot out, the sound of it cutting through the air echoing in the hall.
The Dragon Soul Spear, carrying the force of thunder, met the two erupting black flames with unstoppable momentum.
Under the charge of the golden dragon soul carrying nine-colored light, the black flames were consumed and devoured.
"Bang!"
The Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear, with its powerful aura, pierced the head of the evil god statue.
The evil god statue trembled, cracks appearing.
"Heh heh..."
A terrifying sound emanated from the statue, as if from beyond the heavens, not echoing in the hall but resonating directly in everyone's minds.
The sound was ambiguous, yet it carried a palpable rage.
After the attack, the statue did not explode, indicating that its material was extraordinary, and coupled with the power of evil, it could not be destroyed by ordinary force.
However, the Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear seemed to be its nemesis; the nine-colored light could suppress the black energy.
At this moment, the evil god statue could no longer absorb blood energy, and the blood-red patterns on the ground had disappeared, turning into normal blood, lying quietly there.
While Ma Hongjun's first attack had achieved its effect, a huge change had already occurred outside.
Hu Xiao in the sky, without the support of the evil god's power, no longer had his black energy increase, and his aura had stabilized, even showing a downward trend.
Below, the Tiger Soul Blade Soul Masters, also without the support of black energy, were rapidly losing their power. In the transition between evil slaves and normal Soul Masters, their rationality recovered slightly, but this transition process caused them to pause briefly, their minds momentarily confused.
And this was the most critical moment of the battle; the sudden break in the black energy chain was like a collective dizzying control effect on them.
This was undoubtedly the best opportunity. Under Dai Mubai's command, the soldiers used powerful explosive Soul Skills, ending the lives of Tiger Soul Blade Soul Masters one by one.
"No, no..."
Hu Zheng shouted, letting out a painful and helpless cry, but it was already an irreversible situation; no matter how much he struggled, he could not change his fate.
At this moment, Hu Zheng was surrounded by the Soul Douluos led by Bai Baoshan. Even if he self-destructed, it would be difficult to cause effective damage.
The ground battle was thus coming to an end.
The evil god statue had developed cracks, but it didn't seem completely destroyed; the sinister cackling still filled Ma Hongjun's mind.
Ma Hongjun suppressed the swelling discomfort in his head. At this moment, Ning Rongrong had fainted and lay on the ground.
The Nine Treasures Exquisite Spear had separated, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda had merged into Ning Rongrong's body.
Ma Hongjun gripped the Dragon Soul Spear, simultaneously summoning a fire phoenix, dragon scales, and dark gold claws.
Now, he would utterly destroy the evil god statue.
Purple flames erupted. Ma Hongjun used his second soul skill to gather the flames onto the Dragon Soul Spear and then fired.
The ball of fire exploded on the evil god statue, and wisps of purple flame seeped into the cracks in the statue.
Suddenly, the statue's forehead detached, revealing a vertical eye. Black light emanated from the eye, sweeping towards Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun quickly flapped his seven-colored wings, increasing his speed to dodge. This black light was like a laser; although Ma Hongjun didn't know its power, his intuition told him it was best not to make contact.
The Fire Phoenix Martial Soul hadn't been equipped with any Soul Rings yet, so its usability was limited. Although it possessed a pair of seven-colored wings, they didn't grant Ma Hongjun the ability to fly.
He could only rely on these wings for brief drifting.
To truly fly, he needed to acquire a flying Soul Skill.
However, controlling these wings did grant Ma Hongjun a speed boost.
Combined with the Phoenix Playing with a Hundred Birds Movement Technique, this significantly increased Ma Hongjun's speed, making him unstoppable by the black beam of light.
The sacrificial hall was very spacious and open, providing Ma Hongjun with ample room to maneuver.
Ma Hongjun flew directly to the top of the evil god statue, reaching a position beyond the reach of the black beam, and then descended upside down, spear in hand.
This strike should have completely destroyed the statue.
Suddenly, another change occurred: the statue's vertical eyes closed, and the tentacles actually moved. The tentacles, which had previously resembled plaster, suddenly became as agile as octopuses.
Black light condensed on the tentacles, some of them bearing tiny mouthparts, a sight that sent shivers down the spine of anyone with trypophobia. Even Ma Hongjun couldn't help but tremble.
Ma Hongjun didn't change course; the Dragon Soul Spear continued to pierce the top of the statue's head.
Following the crack, the spear tip was completely embedded in the statue.
However, the consequence of this persistence was that Ma Hongjun was entangled by the black tentacles.
The shattered evil god statue at its center was now occupied by Ma Hongjun, while the tentacles extending from all sides had surrounded him.
Ma Hongjun was plunged into darkness.
