One after another, Abyssal Devourer was tossed and turned with no way to make a counterattack. When he predicted Yun Lintian's position and sent out his power, the latter would appear in another place that he didn't put any guard on. He felt as though Yun Lintian had become his own shadow, that he would never be able to catch it.
What Yun Lintian was executing at this moment was the second layer of Shadow Step. He could attach himself to the target's shadow and shuttled between it as he pleased. It could be said this was the ultimate assassinate skill. Abyssal Devourer was alive until now because of his tough body and his abundant Abyssal Energy. If Yun Lintian was on the same level as him, he could easily finish him off by now.
The downside of this technique was the energy consumption. Even Yun Lintian had at least ten times profound energy than an average practitioner. He couldn't stay in this form for more than ten minutes… And the ten minutes were about to run out now.
"Hmph!" Abyssal Devourer was irritated at the extreme. He suddenly released a large portion of Abyssal Energy, aiming to push Yun Lintian away from him.
A cluster of Abyssal Energy circled around Abyssal Devourer's body before it instantly spread to ten meters around him. The black energy had devoured everything nearby. The moment Yun Lintian showed up, he was hit by an irresistible force, sending him away several meters before landing on the ground.
"Die!" Seeing this, Abyssal Devourer opened his mouth and shot a black beam at Yun Lintian.
However, Tian Jiuyi, Qin Yiran, and Yang Chen reacted quickly since the moment they saw Yun Lintian falling down. The three of them sent out their best moves at Abyssal Devourer.
Boom!
Several sword shadows and streaks of flame rushed straight at Abyssal Devourer, averting his attention, and caused his attack to totally miss Yun Lintian.
Abyssal Devourer snorted coldly as he looked at the burning trace on his wings. He swept his gaze on Tian Jiuyi and others in a fury. If it wasn't because of them, he could finish Yun Lintian off by now.
"Since all of you are courting death. I will send you on the road first." Abyssal Devourer spat coldly, and numerous black dots immediately appeared behind him. A moment later, countless black beams were shot out of them, bombarding Tian Jiuyi and others at lightning speed.
"Activate the formation!" Yun Lintian, who just stood up from the ground, shouted loudly. He was standing too far from the formation node to activate it in time.
Tian Jiuyi did not lose his calmness facing such a dread attack from Abyssal Devourer. His body agilely arrived before the formation node before Yun Lintian shouted. He lifted his foot and stomped down forcefully on it.
Buzz—
Instantaneously, a golden barrier appeared before everyone timely and ultimately repelled all of the Abyssal Devourer's attacks.
"Damn it! How many formations do you have!?" Abyssal Devourer was so annoyed with these formation arrays as they seemed to be endless.
After cursing, he opened his mouth once again. This time, Yun Lintian could smell of death like the last encounter. He immediately realized Abyssal Devourer was about to use his ultimate move.
With a flash, Yun Lintian appeared at the formation node and did not hesitate to stuff the best-grade Profound Stones into the formation under Tian Jiuyi's bewildered gaze.
Immediately, the golden barrier had become several times thicker and denser than before. Even an attack from a monarch might not be able to break it.
At this moment, numerous small blackhole-like dots had filled the sky and started releasing their powerful suction forces. Yun Lintian and others could feel the space around the golden barrier start to crack and pull away by the strong suction forces from all the black dots.
Boulders, trees, and debris outside the golden barrier were floating up and wholly swallowed by the black vortexes.
Abyssal Devourer's face filled with hideousness upon seeing the golden barrier could stand still against his ultimate power. He didn't hesitate to pour every ounce of his energy into increasing his firepower.
Crackle!
The expressions of everyone behind the golden barrier abruptly changed when they saw a small crack appear on the barrier. Their bodies tensed up, staring at the barrier in front of them nervously, and prayed it could withstand until the end.
Yun Lintian kept adding best-grade Profound Stones into the formation. At the same time, his mind spun rapidly, thinking of a solution. Although the barrier could hold on until the end, Abyssal Devourer was still there. He had no confidence to kill him with his current strength unless he went all out by burning White Tiger God's Origin Blood, which he didn't want to expose.
"Everyone, try to recover your strength as much as you can. Don't worry about the barrier. It won't break easily." Yun Lintian reminded everyone, and he had also stuffed a few Energy Replenishing pills into his mouth.
Tian Jiuyi and others nodded their heads and started to recover their strength midst of the raging storm outside.
Abyssal Devourer was so irritated when he saw this scene, but he was powerless to do anything further. If it wasn't because of the suppression of his strength, these damn brats would die a long time ago.
He thought he hadn't underestimated Yun Lintian again, but he was wrong in the end. At this time, an idea of leaving here emerged in his mind. Yun Lintian's many unpredictable moves caused him to lose confidence. He was uncertain whether Yun Lintian still had another trick in his sleeves.
While recovering his strength, Yun Lintian kept his eyes on Abyssal Devourer without blinking. When he saw a slight trace of hesitation appear on the latter's face, he immediately realized Abyssal Devourer was probably thinking of a way to escape.
Thinking of this, a grin appeared on his face as an idea flashed across Yun Lintian's mind.
