Chapter 1718: Stalemate

Master, be your vanguard this time. I will do my utmost for the Mountains and Seas Inquiry Dao Sect one last time. Let you see what true strength lies beneath the Mountain and Seas Inquiry Dao Sect,..."Boom!"

Just as Yue Sheng and the others were leading their unconscious clansmen far away from the mountain, another series of earth-shattering roars echoed through the air.

This mountain range, where the Yue Ling clan has resided for countless years, their home, finally began to collapse on a large scale under the burning of the Yue Ling fire.

Rocks, trees, buildings, everything turned into searing lava streams within the raging inferno. They cascaded down the mountainside in all directions.

From afar, this mountain, which originally resembled a woman worshipping the moon, has lost its head. Only half of its body remains.

At this moment, the Moon Spirits standing in the air or on the ground all saw this scene and were filled with fear.

Had the shield not vanished, and had they been even a moment slower, they would undoubtedly have perished in this inferno as well.

Besides the fear, a deep sense of sadness also welled up from the depths of their hearts.

Regardless of how today's events turn out, at least their family is utterly ruined!

As the mountain range collapsed, the Ginger Cloud that had always been held in the illusory woman's hand also emitted a faint burnt smell on its body.

You need to know that Ginger Cloud's body now, in the battlefield outside the domain, in the place with the strongest gravity, has undergone over thirty years of constant destruction and rebirth.

Even disregarding the terrifying power of his extinction body, Jiang Yun's physical strength is already incredibly formidable.

However, now these Lunar Fires were actually burning his body, which speaks volumes about the temperature of this flame. It has truly reached an extreme level.

Although the burning sensation coming from his body brought immense pain to Jiang Yun, compared to the agony of gravity tearing his body apart, this pain was utterly ignored by Jiang Yun.

Even, Jiang Yun was worried that Yue Ruhuo's body would be burned by the flames, so he was still protecting Yue Ruhuo with his own spiritual energy.

Of course, the demonic brush in his hand didn't pause for a moment either. It continuously used blood to depict demon seals, firmly suppressing the illusory woman and allowing his life fire to devour her more quickly.

Although Ginger Cloud's life fire was powerful, the demon seal also had a certain suppressing effect on the illusory woman. However, the other party's strength was obviously far beyond Ginger Cloud's.

Therefore, this also made it impossible for Ginger Cloud's soul fire to easily devour her.

As for that illusory woman, although she also desperately wanted to burn Jiang Yun to ashes as soon as possible to seize the origin of the Moon Spirit Fire within him, Jiang Yun's annihilation body was equally difficult to shake.

Between the two sides, it is no longer a simple contest of strength, but a clash of wills and spirits!

In short, at this moment, Jiang Yun and Yue Ling are once again caught in a stalemate.

In a short time, no one could do anything to the other!

...unless there is an external intervention, just like the appearance of the elders before!

But the Yue Ling people had already moved as far away from this area as possible. If they entered here, they wouldn't even have the strength to protect themselves, let alone help Jiang Yun.

The Elder remained trapped within the mist formed by the chaotic energy, unable to move.

Even at this moment, he didn't even have the heart to care about who won between Jiang Yun and Yue Ling.

What he cared about more was the powerful figure before him. That being had yet to reveal its full form, only one eye showing, and it rendered him immobile. He was curious about this individual's origins and cultivation level!

But before the elder, the primordial Dao body was still frowning, muttering to himself: "If I go help him now, then he will be able to complete the devouring."

But if I make a move again, it will definitely expose me!

"Forget it, I'll take another look!"

Apart from the two of them, a resolute expression appeared on the face of the Moon Spirit Clan's priest within the four-petaled flower. His gaze suddenly shifted to those Moon Spirit Clan members who stood far away in both the sky and on the ground.

Originally, she thought that Yue Ling was sure to win, but Jiang Yun's strange and powerful life fire gave her another blow.

And she herself, in her current state, was unable to offer Yue Ling any further assistance.

Therefore, she set her sights on the other members of the Yue Ling clan.

If they were to offer up all of the Lunar Essence Fires within them to the Moon Spirit Lord, then the Moon Spirit Lord would surely be able to successfully seize the Gingercloud Sacred Fire!

"Just…"

The sacrificial gaze shifted to the Moon Venerable. She worried that once she left, the Moon Venerable would seize the opportunity to break free from her restraints.

However, looking at the face that was already as pale as paper, eyes tightly closed, and even breathing became weak, the priestess gritted her teeth and finally took a step out of this four-petaled flower, appearing in the air!

Just as the sacrificial procession left, the Moon Venerable, who had always kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Although his face was truly pale, a spark of brilliance shone in his eyes.

Even the faintest breath on his body was rising at an astonishing rate.

The sacrificial priest stared coldly at the Moon Spirit clan members standing far away. "What are you all still doing The Great Moon Spirit is our Moon Spirit clan's deity. Now, she is fighting with those cultivators from the Lower Realm to protect you."

"If Moon Spirit were to have an accident, and if we lost her protection, all of you would vanish into thin air, leaving us vulnerable to annihilation!"

"Offer your Moon Spirit Flames to the Moon Spirit Lord at once, to help the Moon Spirit Lord defeat the cultivators from the Lower Realms!"

The sacrificial words caused the moon spirits to sneer instantly, and Yue Sheng stepped forward, saying coldly, "Protector If she is the protector of our Moon Spirit clan, then why would she hurt our people"

"If we let her win, then it would probably usher in the true end of our Yue Ling clan!"

The crowd wasn't stupid, though they didn't know exactly what had happened. At the very least, they could see their own kin unconscious, and they could see Jiang Yun fiercely guarding Yue Ruhuo.

Now if they were to listen to the ritual again and offer up their moon spirits' flames, not only would Jiang Yun be defeated, but all of them would lose their lives as well.

The priest suddenly turned pale and said, "Although those tribesmen are now unconscious, once they wake up, each of them will have a significant increase in strength."

"Yue Sheng shook his head and said, 'Sacrifice, you don't need to waste your words here. Either you make your move now and kill us, or you wait to be killed by us!'"

"Be bold!"

A cold light flashed in the sacrificer's eyes. Just as she was about to take a step towards Yue Sheng and the others, her figure suddenly stopped. A sinister smile spread across her face as she said, "If you don't offer up the Moon Spirit Fire, then I will kill your clan leader!"

At the sound of these words, Yue Sheng and the others' faces changed dramatically!

They were imprisoned because they supported the chieftain and refused to obey the orders of the shaman and elders.

For them, it was natural to worry about the chieftain's safety.

...and the reason why they didn't kill Yue Zun during the sacrifice was precisely because they knew that he was deeply loved within the clan.

As long as the Moon Venerable is not dead, even if he becomes a cripple, he can still use the Moon Venerable to control and blackmail these disobedient Moon Spirit people.

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, the shaman knew that his decision was absolutely right. With a smug grin, he said: "You better make a decision quickly, the life of your chieftain is now in your hands!"

At the moment the words of the sacrificial ritual faded, a voice suddenly rang out beside her, between heaven and earth: "Moon Someone's fate has always been in their own hands!"
