Night of Despair-Chapter 399 - 397 gestures three
Quan He despised this method but had no better solution.
Destroying the spirit can limit the physical rebirth. So what can be destroyed to limit the spiritual rebirth?
The Spirit Disaster is the rebirth of the spirit, extremely disgusting.
Crack.
As she maintained the Array, a faint sound like the shattering of porcelain suddenly came from the giant humanoid form supporting the Night Pool in the distant sky.
Quan He cast a glance over.
She saw that behind the Night Pool, the giant humanoid form was slowly starting to move.
Its body was covered in cracks, yet it opened its mouth wide, with an endless flow of black mucus dripping from it.
Deep within the gaping mouth, amidst the pitch-black darkness,
A giant stone statue with three fat female heads was slowly crawling out of the shadows.
Her body smeared with black mucus, the three heads wore smiles, their faces plump, their skin deathly pale.
No sooner had it emerged, this monster set its gaze on the Night Pool not far in front.
Ah!!!!!
It suddenly lunged forward, bursting out of the large black mouth, floating in mid-air, and swiftly swelling in size.
In just a few seconds, this three-headed goddess statue grew to over a hundred meters tall.
It hugged the Night Pool with its hands as if lifting a bowl, tipping it into the center mouth.
Hiss.
A circle of dark clouds condensed into a black cloud ring, spreading rapidly in all directions from its center.
Where the black cloud passed, the air seemed to be filled with an unknown deadly poison.
The eerie whispering of a woman murmuring softly rose in the hearts of everyone who saw the three-headed goddess statue.
In the surrounding area of Tongning City, over a span of several kilometers, the Red Value shot up rapidly at this moment.
Strange phantom shadows flickered and appeared out of nowhere due to the increase in Red Value, twinkling and emitting eerie whispers.
These were all shadows, one of the most basic forms of Black Disaster; even the most basic could still kill an ordinary person.
On the ground, the army Array formed by numerous Dragon-men was also affected, growing restless.
They, too, were attacked and influenced by shadows.
Several newly evolved Cai Jing Taoists looked up at the three-headed goddess statue and promptly pinched a Seal, the Colorful Mirror above their heads emitting beams of multicolored light towards it.
But to no avail.
The skin of the three-headed goddess statue was too thick; she was merely floating in mid-air, letting the light beams hit her without any harm.
The three Cai Jing Taoists, constrained by Quan He’s Array, seemed to sense the arrival of the three-eyed goddess statue.
In an instant, like a shot of chicken blood, they went berserk within the pillar of light, crashing left and right as if they wanted to come out and fight the opponent.
"Black Disaster of the same tier, eh..." Quan He realized. Right, she thought, since so many portals had been opened, and the Spirit Disaster could evolve rapidly, naturally, the Black Disaster could as well.
To put it more accurately, it was already very lucky that the Black Disaster managed to hold out without an incident until now.
"Wait! I can’t move from here, but wasn’t there a fight between two Heavenly Masters and the Seven Evil Alliance over there? How could the situation have gotten to this point? Where are the contemporary Heavenly Masters!?" Quan He’s eyes darkened, suddenly feeling something was amiss.
From afar, in addition to sensing the three-headed goddess statue, not a single Magician could be felt!
"This time, it seems truly dangerous..." Quan He’s expression grew more solemn.
Only a Taoist Sect Heavenly Master holding the Sky Stabilizing Plate could handle this situation, but now... both Heavenly Masters were nowhere to be seen!
Feeling the Black Disaster’s aura growing stronger over there, she was keenly aware that if no one intervened, the Black Disaster would open more portals on its own, further augmenting its strength.
By then...
"Senior Quan He."
Suddenly, a burly figure appeared on the ground below.
It was Yu Hong who had just arrived.
"Do you need any help? That closing of the portal just now was truly majestic! How domineering!" Yu Hong exclaimed in praise.
"What exactly is going on with the Heavenly Masters? Why isn’t anyone containing the Black Disaster?" Quan He was not concerned about the praise and asked with a serious face.
Yu Hong’s relaxed expression faded instantly, as he quickly reported the events of the Taoist Sect in a brief telepathic message.
"What!? No more Sky Stabilizing Plate!?" Quan He’s complexion changed.
"Without the Sky Stabilizing Plate, do we have any contingency plans?" Yu Hong saw her expression and felt a sinking feeling. He thought that perhaps Quan He had some method.
But it seemed...
"We can only endure, unable to close the portal." Quan He gritted her teeth. "Without recreating the Sky Stabilizing Plate, we can only face an endless onslaught of Spirit Disaster Black Disaster Monsters!"
"Do you know how to recreate it?" Yu Hong asked again.
"...I am not a Heavenly Master; such Magic Skills are only known to Heavenly Masters... It was originally a Heavenly Master who created the Sky Stabilizing Plate Array." Quan He showed helplessness on her face.
Yu Hong remained silent.
At this moment, on the ground, the battles between Magicians and monsters also began to reach a stalemate.
Most Magicians were falling into a disadvantageous position, their Dao Breath being consumed excessively, gradually resorting to relying on the silver Spirit Light to tough it out on defense.
Qing Huang, Zhao Jingtang, and other expert Magicians tried their best to attract more Spirit Disaster Monsters to their side. But the number of monsters was simply too great.
They were only a few hundred people, but the monsters were as dense as a tide, numbering in the tens of thousands.
They roamed the city devouring living beings, evolving rapidly.
Some Spirit Disaster Monsters that were mere backpack-carrying people just ten minutes ago, after a slight delay, devoured living humans and evolved into Silver Armor Serpent-men.
Moreover, many Golden Armor Dragon-men, after devouring a large number of humans, evolved into Three-eyed Dragon-men.
Although it seems that some kind of element from the Immortal Light is needed to progress from Three-eyed Dragon-men to Cai Jing Taoists, just having Three-eyed Dragon-men was already enough to conduct territorial battles with elite magicians like Qing Huang and others.
And now, the number of Three-eyed Dragon-men inside Tongning City had already surpassed a thousand!
Every second, a large number of people were dying, and the entire city was being rapidly emptied.
Yu Hong glanced around, seeing magicians being beaten around like balls everywhere. The city’s buildings looked as if they had been bombarded, with all kinds of crashing and booming sounds incessant to the ear.
The magician camp had already fallen into complete disadvantage.
The slightly better scenario was that of the recently recovered Golden Light Taoist and the other two, who formed an Array with the power of the Inheritance Dao Artifact, transforming it into a combination Spiritual Domain, forcibly creating a small circular safe zone.
Yu Hong let out a long sigh.
He moved like lightning, swiftly weaving between the high-rise buildings. Wherever he passed, one after another, Three-eyed Dragon-men were blown into nothingness, dissolving into a mist of grey.
After entering the double burning of Inner Strength, his power was slightly weaker than Thunderbolt Transformation but was a lot stronger than when he first tangled with the Three-eyed Dragon-men.
Additionally, whether it was speed, strength, or defense, all had significantly increased under the amplification of the new Tai Ling Skill.
"Why don’t you give it a try?" Quan He’s voice suddenly came from mid-air.
Yu Hong’s face stiffened, and he did not speak.
At this time, anyone with clear eyes could see that the new three-headed god statue emerging from the Black Disaster was a terrifying entity that was absolutely comparable to the complete form of the Cai Jing Taoist here.
Against such an individual, he had no confidence.
Quan He’s voice came again.
"Your ability to defeat Heavenly Master Zuo Yunfeng face-to-face and triumph over Tian Shi Ku Chan of the same realm shows that your strength has reached the Heavenly Master Realm. The biggest characteristic of this realm is that the concentration of Dao Breath is extremely high; one part can be used as ten parts by ordinary magicians. Coupled with extremely high utilization efficiency, peak technique skill, and minimal waste, along with top inheritance Dao Artifacts, the gap has been vastly increased," Quan He explained.
"Being able to defeat Heavenly Master-level experts face-to-face means that in the current situation, perhaps you... are the only one who can hold off the situation there."
"Young one..." Yu Hong actually didn’t want to go.
He could feel the exaggerated strength of the Black Disaster Monster over there, which was no less terrifying than the full-bodied Cai Jing Taoist here.
Against such a monster, even if he went all out with Thunderbolt Transformation, it might not be enough.
Most importantly, he only wanted to carve out a pure land in this world, to move here and live permanently, not to fight desperately for the safety of this world without regard for his own life and death.
Selfishly speaking, he didn’t have such altruism.
He wasn’t even from this place; why should he take on life-threatening risks and stand alone against tremendous danger?
"Senior, let me be upfront; I will only go try. If I can stall and delay time, I will; if it doesn’t work out... don’t blame the junior for a strategic retreat," Yu Hong thought it through and communicated directly.
"After all, the junior is the Leader of the Spirit Alliance. If anything happens to me, the impact is too great; it’s also considering the bigger picture for the future," Yu Hong said, suddenly feeling like he had become one of those he once despised.
Yet...
"It’s my fault," said Quan He, who had seen through Yu Hong’s worries with her centuries of experience.
"Taking action that risks your life shouldn’t be forced by external pressures, but instead, should be a choice that comes from deep within oneself after heartfelt consideration."
She showed a hint of a smile.
"It doesn’t matter; you’ve already done very well..."
"Then... Junior, I take my leave."
Yu Hong sighed lightly, cupped his fists, turned, and transformed into purple lightning, speeding away.
"Take this!" Suddenly, a sound of piercing the air chased after Yu Hong.
He caught a pure white square Jade Token with a backhand.
Carved on the token was a lifelike Four-winged White Crane.
"If you’re in danger, crush it. This will trigger the full force of my Dao Artifact. It’s very powerful, so use it with caution," Quan He’s voice drifted from afar.

Warmth rose in Yu Hong’s heart.
He turned back and saluted with a cupped fist, then once again hurried towards the direction of the Black Disaster.
On his way, he happened to encounter Ku Chan and others rushing toward this side.
Ku Chan’s injuries had significantly improved under the healing of the Spirit Light; although he was still weak, at least his Heavenly Master Level Dao Breath had recovered.
Meeting Yu Hong head-on in the forest, he tensed up, gripping the Chi Xiao Sword instinctively ready to attack.
But immediately, the Spirit Light within him vibrated violently, as if it wanted to drag all the life from his body.
Such an anomaly made him dare not act rashly.
"I will find out the truth!" Ku Chan sternly said to Yu Hong as he sped past.
"I heard that Zihe Palace’s Daoist Magic Techniques are most suitable for cleansing Spirit Disasters. Brother Ku Chan, Tongning City relies heavily on you. I’m heading to face the Black Disaster, where a top-level monster similar to Cai Jing Taoist has appeared."
Yu Hong was indifferent to his actions, left behind a message, and then accelerated towards the Black Disaster.
"..." Upon hearing this, Ku Chan’s hand holding the sword involuntarily softened a bit.
"Great righteousness of the Leader!"
"Thank you, Leader!"
"Thank you!"
"It’s Master Yu! We’re saved!"
He heard magicians on the distant road continuously thanking him at the top of their voices, some with sobbing voices, excited, and ecstatic.
