Chapter 511: Building Collapse
"Which evil spirit dares to run amok in Duobao Tower!”
A chastisement roared like a thunderclap.
Then, from the top of Duobao Tower, a tremendous spiritual light shot up into the sky, scattering into a protective spiritual energy shield, sheltering the entire Tower.
Countless paper puppets and paper beasts wrapped in yin qi were kept out by the spiritual energy.
No matter how much the yin qi tried to infiltrate, the spiritual energy shield remained unwavering.
Three trails of light burst out from different parts of Duobao Tower. The figures of three extraordinary Golden Core Real People appeared, solemnly watching the world of yin creatures reminiscent of ghost lizards outside.
"With Golden Cores getting involved, I wonder if they can stop these two calamity-level evil spirits.”
"But with them standing in front, I feel relieved. At least, these evil spirits won’t pay attention to a small fry like me.”
Lu Xuan quietly retracted his spiritual power and pretended to be a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator. He was considered average in Duobao Tower, neither weak enough to be considered an easy target nor a problem to be dealt with urgently.
In Duobao Tower, three Golden Core Real People hovered in the air, their spiritual energy rolling violently, ready to unleash at any moment.
"Senior Brother, these two evil spirits are extraordinarily powerful. Even the three of us together might find it difficult to cope.”
A female cultivator who appeared cold and aloof with her entire body enveloped in rolling, azure-blue spiritual light, giving off the vibe of a surging tsunami, spoke in a low voice.
"As far as I know, there has been a cultivator selling a young paper puppet evil spirit in the tower these last two days. These evil spirits have probably come for that.”
"Fellow Daoists, if we give the Foundation Establishment cultivator who owns that evil spirit, along with the young paper puppet, to the paper puppet evil spirits outside, will they then leave us alone?”
A bearded old man quietly passed this suggestion to the other two via spiritual communication.
"Li Dao You, no more of this. There are many Daoists in the Tower, including disciples of Great Sects as well as those nearing Golden Core. If we really do such a thing, the reputations we have built over the years as our few major powers and Duobao Tower would be destroyed instantly.”
"Moreover, don’t cling to a glimmer of hope that might not exist. It’s difficult for ordinary people to fathom the thoughts of those evil spirits. Their hard-earned offspring was stolen. It’s highly likely that they would demand the sacrifice of everyone in Duobao Tower to avenge this.”
Under the scrutiny of the Void Nightmare Eye, he saw something abnormal occur among the many cultivators who gradually woke up and gathered inside Duobao Tower.
Certain cultivators screamed in extreme agony, their hands uncontrollably tearing at their own bodies. Bits of flesh were shredded off, raining down.
In the blink of an eye, the cultivator was reduced to a dehydrated skin-bag hanging over his skeletal frame.
The skin-bag slowly turned a grayish color, and droplets of waxy yellow corpse oil began to seep from it.
"Did they mutate?”
Lu Xuan unconsciously took a few steps back, his thoughts racing.
Soon, no fewer than thirty people displayed the same eerie symptom. Moreover, the bodies of many cultivators had involuntarily stiffened, drained of all color. They were just a step away from mutating into skin-bags.
"Was it the laughter of the paper puppet just now?”
Lu Xuan recalled the chilling laughter from the depths of his consciousness, feeling extremely fortunate.
"I’m lucky to have the Clear Dragonfly Feather Robe that can resist attacks on the divine soul. Otherwise, I might have been at risk of mutation as well.”
The many cultivators sheltered in the Duobao Tower, once feeling secure under the formation, now descended into chaos. Most of them were panicked, looking at their fellow cultivators around them with suspicion and caution.
In the top area, the cultivators maintaining the formation also suffered a significant impact. This caused minor stagnation in the spiritual power flow within the spiritual energy shield. The paper figures and yin creatures outside seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied assault on the Protective Array.
"It seems I’ll have to rely on myself.”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. The situation was extremely chaotic, and the momentum of the paper puppet evil spirits was unstoppable. Once the formation broke, it would be time for the many cultivators in the Tower to escape.
Just as this thought emerged, cracks appeared on the spiritual energy shield outside the tower under the heavy burden, with a cracking noise. The cracks spread rapidly, and countless paper puppet yin creatures broke into the Duobao Tower.
The enormous Duobao Tower collapsed with a loud crash.
