At the same time, the Holy Hand Covering the Sky was also executed by Lin Xiao, his mind almost drained of spiritual power. A massive tri-coloured palm, black, cyan, and blue, suddenly condensed and formed beside him.
The tri-coloured palm was imbued with a terrifying devouring force, as if space itself was being swallowed, distorted.
At the same time, a terrifying burning aura filled the heavens and earth, as if the entire space was about to be incinerated into ashes. Within dozens of miles around, there seemed to be a scorched smell rising.
Moreover, within the tri-coloured palm, there was a faint sound of thunder, as if it contained vast and unparalleled lightning energy.
After the black demonic palm struck, this tri-coloured palm, imbued with three types of attribute energies, followed and struck forward.
Its might was utterly terrifying.
At the same time, Xiao Mao, Mei Tianmo, Qu Huang, and Sheng Qianyu also unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously.
The might of Xiao Mao and Mei Tianmo was no weaker than Lin Xiao’s.
Opposite them, the aura of the Master of the Destiny Temple was still surging layer by layer. Sensing the overwhelming, terrifying force flooding towards him, his expression hardened, and then he roared loudly.
“Die!!!”
His voice boomed like thunder. Amidst the roaring shout, he held a bronze shield in both hands, his body, now bronze in colour, seemed to contain earth-shaking power. As he pushed the bronze shield forward, space trembled. A destructive force emanated from the shield, accompanied by a sweeping sacred aura that raged outwards.
The immensely powerful sacred force condensed into a shield of light hundreds of zhang wide, radiating extremely terrifying fluctuations. Carrying an incomparably sacred aura, it clashed with the giant book, demonic palm, palm force, and demonic light unleashed by Lin Xiao and the other six.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Blinding, dazzling bursts of light flashed, as if the void itself was about to be annihilated. Vast and unparalleled energy instantly filled the entire space. Terrifying fluctuations first surged from the point of impact, radiating hundreds of miles outward.
Immediately after, a torrent of energy, like raging waves, poured towards the direction of Lin Xiao and the others.
The bronze shield of light, spanning hundreds of zhang, had not completely shattered. The faded shield light, carrying an overwhelming torrent of energy fluctuations, surged towards Lin Xiao’s direction.
“What!” Lin Xiao and the others’ expressions changed drastically. The strongest attacks they had unleashed together couldn’t defeat the Master of the Destiny Temple?
Moreover, they couldn’t even achieve a stalemate. The Master of the Destiny Temple’s attack had gained the upper hand, and the uncollapsed bronze shield light continued to press towards them?
Before they could think further, the torrent of energy fluctuations surged towards them.
Lin Xiao felt a sharp pain throughout his body, his qi and blood churning. A large mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
Lin Xiao’s body, like a piece of duckweed caught in a thousand-zhang wave in the sea, was swiftly and far flung backwards.
It wasn’t just him; the other six were the same.
In a short time, the seven of them were blasted a hundred miles away by the terrifying energy shockwave.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was covered in blood, his body wracked with excruciating pain. His internal organs felt as if they had been shattered. He had suffered extremely severe injuries.
His entire aura had wilted.
This strike had nearly taken his life.
Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough to hold on.
At that moment, the faded shield light, carrying the torrent of energy fluctuations, struck Lin Xiao again.
Another large mouthful of blood sprayed from Lin Xiao’s mouth, and he felt his consciousness becoming blurry.
However, he forced himself to stay conscious with his strong will, refusing to let himself pass out.
If he fainted, it would likely mean death.
Even so, he felt as if his entire body had lost all sensation, or perhaps it had become numb from the pain.
With one strike of the shield light, the bodies of the seven were sent flying another one to two hundred miles before finally coming to a stop, crashing onto the ground.
The group spat out blood again.
All seven were drenched in blood, looking like blood-soaked figures.
Among them, Duan Huang, the weakest in cultivation, died on the spot, his body devoid of any signs of life.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Kaiyuan, Sikong Jian, and others from the Alliance of the Raiders in the distance were all stunned.
The terrifying attack unleashed by the combined efforts of Lin Xiao and the others had been single-handedly shattered by the Master of the Destiny Temple, reducing the seven to blood-soaked figures with no strength left to fight back?
“Lin Xiao!” Dongfang Kaiyuan and Yun Jing almost simultaneously shouted in alarm, intending to rush towards the seven.
However, Sikong Jian and the others gave them no chance, launching desperate attacks. Terrifying battles erupted in several locations.
On another patch of ground, after crashing to the earth, Lin Xiao regained sensation, which was pain, excruciating pain mixed with numbness.
He wanted to turn his head to check on Xiao Mao, Mei Tianmo, and the others, but he suddenly felt that the blood in his body and his meridians seemed to have solidified, making it difficult even to turn his neck.
His entire body was stiff on the ground.
“The power of confinement, it’s the power of confinement!”
Lin Xiao’s heart was filled with shock. He had encountered this power before when facing the blue-gold-robed elder of the Destiny Temple at the Feng family.
He had thought it was just an individual talent and hadn’t paid much attention to it.
He hadn’t expected that the shield light from the Master of the Destiny Temple’s attack would carry the power of confinement, immobilising them all.
Their meridians couldn’t function, and their bodies couldn’t move.
In reality, he could use the Heaven-Sealing Stone Hand to dispel this confinement power, or even absorb and refine it.
However, now, severely injured and his strength drained, he had no ability to activate the Heaven-Sealing Stone Hand.
“Chi!”
At that moment, in Lin Xiao’s line of sight, a blood-soaked figure rushed through the fading energy waves ahead.
This figure was none other than the Master of the Destiny Temple.
However, at this moment, the Master of the Destiny Temple had transformed into a white-haired, aged figure. His face was covered with countless fine blood cracks, with blood continuously seeping from them.
Not only his face but his entire body was the same. Every exposed patch of skin had countless blood cracks, as if his entire body was about to burst apart.
His aura was no longer as strong as before, having weakened significantly.
Yet, he still possessed the strength of a fifth or sixth-level Martial Emperor and was rapidly rushing towards Lin Xiao’s location.
“Forcing me to break my seal and shatter my body, I’ll make you all pay with your lives!!!”
A booming shout rang out as the Master of the Destiny Temple, his face twisted with ferocity, charged towards Lin Xiao. In no time, he reached Lin Xiao, holding the bronze shield in one hand.
“Lin Xiao, you’ll be the first to die. Once you’re dead, the Goddess will no longer be influenced by you!”
With that, the Master of the Destiny Temple swung the bronze shield heavily towards Lin Xiao’s body.
