Chapter 290 A Glimmer of Hope
Chapter 290 A Glimmer of Hope
This was a critical moment of life and death. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, Lin Shushu would fight with all her might. So, she endured the excruciating pain in her body, concentrated all her spiritual power, and channeled the power of the rules of heaven and earth into the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror.
In an instant, the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror, which had been dim in light, suddenly shone brightly.
The Brahma Bowl emitted rings of warm yet powerful golden light, which seemed to contain the order and majesty of heaven and earth; the Star Mirror shimmered with countless brilliant starlight, which intertwined to form a mysterious and profound star curtain.
The two lights resonated and merged, forming an indestructible light barrier in front of Lin Shushu. The light barrier emitted a gentle yet powerful energy fluctuation, confronting the demon god's black hand filled with destructive aura.
The moment the demon god's palm touched the light screen, it emitted a piercing friction sound. The black demonic energy collided with the golden light and the dazzling starlight, stirring up countless energy ripples.
Upon seeing this, the demon god's eyes flashed with surprise, which was quickly replaced by anger. "Hmph, you think you can stop me with this little bit of power? What wishful thinking!"
He roared and increased the force of his hand, but the light barrier remained unbroken. His anger grew stronger, and demonic energy surged wildly around him. The black demonic energy, like thick ink, swirled and churned around him.
He chanted an unknown incantation, his voice low and filled with evil power, like a roar from the deepest part of hell.
As his incantation rang out, the already eerie and terrifying Dark Abyss began to tremble violently. The ground started shaking violently, and huge cracks, like the gaping maws of ferocious beasts, spread across the earth.
The distant mountains also began to collapse, boulders tumbling down, dust billowing, and creating a deafening roar. Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, streaks of lightning ripped through the dark horizon, illuminating the demon god's hideous face.
The whole world seemed to be plunged into chaos and destruction. The wind howled, mixed with black demonic energy, like sharp blades cutting into people's faces, and soon bloody marks appeared.
At the same time, countless black vortexes relentlessly pressed towards the light screen in front of Lin Shushu, frantically colliding with it with a heart-palpitating suction and impact.
Under this devastating attack, the light barrier trembled and twisted continuously. Lin Shushu's face was as pale as paper, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm as she stubbornly maintained the stability of the light barrier.
However, the demon god's attack was too powerful; the overwhelming demonic energy seemed endless.
Under the relentless assault of demonic energy, the light barrier, like fragile glass, began to crack. As time passed, the cracks multiplied and grew larger until finally, with a loud "bang," the light barrier vanished like smoke.
Lin Shushu felt a powerful impact, her body flying backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily to the ground, her internal organs feeling as if they were being torn apart and reassembled. The Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror were also flung far away, rolling to the side, their surfaces dull and lifeless.
"Shu Shu!" Mo Ze's eyes were bloodshot as he witnessed this scene, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream. His voice was filled with pain and despair, as if his own soul was being torn apart.
He struggled to crawl over, but he was already seriously injured and had just been attacked by demonic energy, so he couldn't even move. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Shushu lay on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
The demon god looked at Lin Shushu lying on the ground, a smug smile on his face. "Hahaha, ants are ants after all. What good are divine artifacts? Today, this entire continent will become my territory, and you will all perish beneath my feet!"
His voice, filled with arrogance and disdain, echoed through this chaotic world. He laughed loudly as he walked step by step toward Lin Shushu, each step like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Lin Shushu lay on the ground, her consciousness already somewhat blurred. But a trace of resentment still lingered in her heart, and her fingers twitched slightly, trying to reach for the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror not far away.
The demon god coldly looked at the people lying on the ground, raised his right hand, and black energy flowed in his palm. The energy surged like a living thing, exuding a chilling aura.
"It's time to end this!" The demon god's voice was cold and full of killing intent. The moment he finished speaking, he shot the energy ball in his hand toward Lin Shushu.
The energy ball, like a black meteor, streaked through the air with a sharp whistling sound, hurtling towards Lin Shushu's head at breakneck speed.
“Shushu…”
"Young friend Lin..."
The cries of pain and anxiety came from Mo Ze and Venerable Lingyun, who wanted to shield her from the attack with their own bodies, but they were powerless to do so.
Fortunately, their fears were unfounded. Just as the energy sphere was about to explode, a beam of light emanated from Lin Shushu. Though faint, the light was filled with a mysterious power. Like a thin veil, the light enveloped Lin Shushu and collided with the black energy sphere.
With a deafening roar, the energy ball collided with the light, creating a powerful shockwave that swept outwards, sending dust and debris flying high into the air.
The demon god was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lin Shushu to be able to unleash such power at this crucial moment.
Although the light appeared weak, it stubbornly resisted the energy ball's attack, and the two were locked in a stalemate. Lin Shushu's body trembled slightly under the light, and her consciousness gradually cleared from the chaos.
She could feel that mysterious power surging continuously from her body, resisting the demon god's attack.
"What... what kind of power is this?" The demon god's voice was filled with doubt and fear. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt a sense of familiarity with this power.
He increased the power of the energy ball, and the black energy surged wildly, trying to break through the defense of the light.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. The light emanating from Lin Shushu grew brighter and brighter, and the black energy ball gradually disappeared under this light. The demon god also clearly felt the oppressive force that power brought him.
"It's the Yuan Pearl!" Lin Shushu was fully conscious and realized that the power that had suddenly appeared on her body came from the Yuan Pearl, or more precisely, from Emperor Xu.
It turns out that before Emperor Xu fell into slumber, he foresaw that the Demon God would one day return to the mortal realm. Therefore, he sealed his and his clansmen's power within the Yuan Pearl space and sent it to Lin Shushu.
Now that the moment of life and death has arrived, Yuanzhu sensed Lin Shushu's crisis and automatically released its powerful force.
"Impossible! How could you possess the power of a god!" the demon god roared, his voice filled with anger and resentment.
He once again mobilized the power of the Dark Abyss, distorting and deforming the surrounding space. The enormous black vortex spun even more wildly, as if it were about to devour the entire world.
Lin Shushu slowly stood up. Her originally pale face had regained its rosy color, and the shocking wounds on her body had been completely healed under the nourishment of the Yuan Pearl's power.
At this moment, the power of the Yuan Pearl surged like a torrent, completely merging into her body. Feeling this unprecedented abundance of power, Lin Shushu looked at the crazed demon god, and she knew that the final battle had arrived.
