When he found out that the Radiant Heavenly Stems Saints had appeared in the Darkness Shrine again, the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine had already made up his mind to keep the Radiant Heavenly Stems Saints here no matter the price. Only then could he atone for his sins. Hence, he was willing to pay the price of a hundred level-10 Magical Beast Crystals to activate the Dark Chaos Defense Formation. He even did not hesitate to expend a large amount of Soul Power stored in the Soul-searching Formation to activate it to its maximum.
At this moment, there were more than 3,000 Dark Mages gathered in the Darkness Shrine, and there were more Dark Mages rushing over. With so many Dark Mages present, the entire Darkness Shrine was filled with a massive mana wave. With the High Priest Xi's command, the Dark Mages that had formed teams began to attack the Radiant Heavenly Stems Saints in the sky.
When Ji Dong released the first strike of the Fire God's Slash, he had already summoned the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon. There was only one reason why he had chosen to lead his partners into the sky, and that was because of the flaw of the Five-Elements Cycle Formation.
There was no doubt that this formation could make use of the 10 attributes to complement each other, but there was also a flaw, and that was, it was not agile. Even though the Radiant Heavenly Stems Saints could move in sync with Ji Dong under the guidance of his Soul Power, it should not be forgotten that their abilities were uneven, and the speed that they could display was also the same. Once the Five-Elements Cycle Formation was completed, their speed would definitely drop to the level of the partner with the lowest cultivation level. However, it was different in the sky. Indeed, it was easy to become a target in the sky, but with the help of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon, the only flaw of the Five-Elements Cycle Formation could be made up for.
The High Priest Xi's idea was right. No matter how powerful Ji Dong and the rest were, even with the Five-Elements Cycle Formation, it was impossible for them to kill over 8,000 Dark Mages. There were so many Dark Mages that it was enough to exhaust them to death. However, he did not know that the Radiant Heavenly Stems Saints had already gathered all 10 pieces of Holy Disciple Armor. With the help of the formation, their ability to continue fighting far exceeded the High Priest Xi's expectations.
At least 10 primary killing techniques appeared in the sky at almost the same time. The first one was a Dark Vermillion Bird formed from Bing Fire.
Under the command of Ji Dong, the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon moved to the side and gave up one side of the Five-Elements Cycle Formation. Water Saint Du Ming raised the Ice God Spear in his hand, and the originally glaring black light on his body turned white at this moment. The Ice God Spear pointed forward, and a cold lightning shot out from the Ice God Spear and pierced into the chest of the Dark Vermillion Bird. Immediately, the first attack of the same attribute was shattered. Although Du Ming was not as good as Ji Dong in terms of control of mana, he did not withdraw part of the mana from his skill. The 100 Dark Mages that attacked the Dark Vermillion Bird immediately spat out blood, and the blood instantly turned into ice. They did not fall, but each of them turned into ice sculptures.
After dealing with the first attack and killing a hundred more Dark Mages, the other Basic Ultimate Skills had already bombarded them. These Basic Ultimate Skills had all kinds of attributes. Although each one was not enough to pose a threat to the Light Mages alone, with so many Basic Ultimate Skills mixed together, it was not so easy to resist. Even if the Light Mages could resist, it would inevitably consume a lot of their own mana.
However, would Ji Dong and the others easily face it head-on? Fighting head-on had to be worthwhile. It was impossible to kill off the Dark Magic Masters like before when facing so many low-level ultimate skills at the same time. The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's body swayed, and its thick tail suddenly shook. In an instant, its huge body suddenly became illusory, and with the light on its back, it flashed past the Holy Disciples. Those low-level ultimate skills immediately exploded in the air, and a large amount of chaotic Mana was produced in the sky, causing the Dark Magic Masters below to suddenly stagnate in the speed at which they were stacking their Mana.
Even under the suppression of the Soul-Searching and Soul-Snatching Formation, Ji Dong, Tianji, and Chen Sixuan's Peak Saint Level Soul Force was not something that these ordinary Devil Masters could handle. The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's innate skill, Time Travel, instantly rendered these dozen or so primary killing techniques useless.
The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon swooped downwards when it used its teleportation skill. Ji Dong and the others weren't flying very high, so the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon swooped down with all its might. In the blink of an eye, it was already ten meters above the ground.
The thick dragon tail swept out, and the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon directly blew away more than 10 Dark Mages. The place where it landed was the place where a large number of Dark Mages had died. Under the cover of the mana turbulence in the air, Ji Dong swept his sword horizontally, and the 100-meter-long Fire God's Slash radiated red light in a fan shape. This time, he used all his strength. Not only did he break a primary killing technique that was chasing after him, but he also directly blasted towards the Dark Mages. The other Heavenly Stem Saints had already jumped up the moment they helped Ji Dong complete this sword, and used their fastest speed to collect the Dark Crystal Crown of the dead Dark Mages.
Killing was the goal, but nurturing the battle through battle was more important. These Dark Mages could not have died in vain, right?
The eight Purple-robed High Priests floating in the sky finally could not hold back. In just a short period of time, the Heavenly Stem Saints alone had killed nearly 500 Dark Mages. Although most of them were below the Seven Crown rank, they still could not withstand such a killing rate. Especially Ji Dong's Fire God's Slash, which was the most powerful attack output, could not be blocked by ordinary Dark Mages. If they continued to wait like this, even if they killed the Heavenly Stem Saints in the end, perhaps the Dark Demon Army would riot because of the Purple-robed High Priests' inaction.
The eight Purple-robed High Priests sped up at the same time and summoned their mounts. Without exception, they were all Wyrms, which were slightly different from the Wyrms of the Five Elements Continent. The Wyrms they rode on were emitting a layer of black light patterns, and their bodies seemed to be stronger than the Wyrms of the Five Elements Continent. They were obviously Rank Nine Wyrms, but their bodies were similar to the Rank Ten Wyrms of the Five Elements Continent. Especially High Priest Xi's mount, it was a Rank Ten Metal Dragon, with a terrifying body length of 40 meters. When it appeared in the sky, it was like a dark cloud.
Not only did they move, but all the Red-robed High Priests also moved at the same time. After nearly 10 died and more than 10 were seriously injured, the total number of Red-robed High Priests was about 30. This was already the full strength of the Darkness Temple.
High Priest Xi was able to gain Darkness Tianji's trust and preside over the Darkness Temple when Darkness Tianji was not around. It was definitely not because of his cultivation. Seeing that the Light Radiance Holy Disciples were still able to kill a large number of them, he instantly changed his tactics. He ordered the low-level Dark Magicians to condense multiple demonic skills of the same attribute and retreat to the periphery, preventing the Light Radiance Holy Disciples from breaking out of the encirclement. The main attack was changed to the eight of them and all the Red-robed High Priests.
Even so, the Chief High Priest was still very depressed, because two of their original 10 Purple-robed High Priests had died. If the two Earth High Priests whose cultivation was second only to his were still around, he was confident that they could subdue the Light Radiance Holy Disciples with their full elemental power. However, now that two of them were gone, the situation was obviously worse.
Ji Dong did not seem to notice the changes in the Dark Demon Army at all. Riding on the back of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon, his gaze fell on the four sentry towers in the inner castle of the Darkness Temple that were jointly releasing the Soul-Searching Formation, while the other Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples were still collecting the Dark Crystal Crown quickly.
Guang Tianji's words reminded Ji Dong that the foundation of the Soul-Searching Formation was four large pieces of Jade of Heaven. If the Dark Chaos Defense Formation was the foundation of the entire Darkness Temple, then the Soul-Searching Formation could be said to be the Soul Formation of the Darkness Temple. The Dark Chaos Defense Formation was so powerful that it had to pay a huge price to use it once. In comparison, the Soul-Searching Formation was much more powerful than the Dark Chaos Defense Formation. Compared to the Dark Chaos Defense Formation, the Soul-Searching Formation was much more useful. Destroying it would be a greater blow to the Darkness Temple than taking away the two divine weapons in the previous operation. After all, the two water divine weapons could not be used by the Dark Demon Masters. Guang Tianji only kept them to restrict the Light Radiance Holy Disciples. More importantly, if he could obtain the four pieces of Jade of Heaven, how much would the Sword of the Fire God improve?
Looking coldly at the approaching Dark Demon Masters, Ji Dong sent a signal to his companions. The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples immediately returned to the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon. The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's nine claws stepped on the ground and immediately rose into the air. At this moment, the Light Holy Disciples were all delighted. Even the cold Ajin had a look of satisfaction in his eyes. They had retrieved hundreds of Darkness Crystal Crowns just now. Although there were no seven or eight crowns among them, there were many of them. They had only been in the Five Elements Continent for more than ten days, but their cultivation had improved faster than it had in the past few months. How could they not be excited? The 50,000 regular Devil Army under Guang Tianji, and even the 100,000 reserve Devil Army would become their prey. No matter how powerful Guang Tianji was, he was only one. Ever since the Light Radiance Holy Disciples entered the Five Elements Continent, they were like tigers in a flock of sheep.
Under the lead of the eight purple-robed High Priests, the powerhouses of the Darkness Temple formed a semi-circle in the air. They had already released their Yin Yang Crowns, which shone brightly above their heads. Among them, two purple-robed High Priests stared at the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon attentively. Although the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon had not displayed much combat power so far, its transmigration skill was enough to give these purple-robed High Priests a headache.
It had used the transmigration skill twice. The first time was in the inner castle, where it had brought Ji Dong, Chen Sixuan, and Yao Qianshu out of the encirclement and successfully arrived at an excellent position to block the Dark Magic Masters, thus laying a solid foundation for victory. The second time was when more than a dozen primary killing skills bombarded them. If it were not for the powerful Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon, the Light Radiance Holy Disciples would have to face the bombardment of many primary killing skills. Even if they had enough strength to resist it, it would definitely consume a lot of their mana.
However, these Dark Magic Masters could be said to be the elites of the Darkness Temple. Their actual combat ability and skills were better than those of the same level in the Five Elements Continent. After careful observation, they also discovered that although the transmigration skill of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon could ignore lock-on, it also had its own shortcomings, and that was the distance. The transmigration skill could travel between 100 to 150 meters. After all, if such an overbearing skill had no restrictions, it would simply be a divine skill. How could it exist in a magical beast?
Therefore, at this time, in order to guard against the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's transmigration, the eight purple-robed High Priests did not stand in a row, but floated in the air in layers. The same was true for the red-robed High Priests who moved with them. With their current position, if the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon used the transmigration skill from the front, it would only walk right into their trap and directly rush into their encirclement.
The Saints were not fools. Of course, they would not do such a thing. Under the command of the High Priests, these top Dark Magic Masters were very serious at this time. They did not think that they could defeat the Saints in one fell swoop with their own strength. Reality had proven that even the top-notch ultimate skill could not kill them in one fell swoop. What they wanted to do was to rely on their superior numbers and experts to exhaust the mana of the Saints. No matter how powerful a Magic Master was, once his mana was exhausted, he could only be slaughtered. Therefore, these Dark Magic Masters were not in a hurry to make a move at all. The Soul-Searching and Soul-Capturing Formation was still open. They were very clear that even if there were Magic Masters who had surpassed the Saint-level on the Saints' side to resist the Soul-Searching and Soul-Capturing Formation, their own Soul Power would continue to be depleted. With such a good opportunity to exhaust their Soul Power, why would they be in a hurry to make a move?
Two Five Elemental Boundaries opened on both sides of the High Priests. They were completely set up by the eight-crowned red-robed High Priests. Although Ji Dong's Fire God's Slash was domineering, the purple-robed High Priests obviously would not let him use the Fire God's Slash to hit the Five Elemental Boundaries.
The Five Elemental Mutual Generation and Circulation Formation was set up the moment the Saints returned to the back of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon.
