Chapter 479 - 236: Sewing Wedding Clothes for Others, Gongsun Clan in Peril, Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus Ripens

Just as they approached.

The keen Thunderhorn Rhinoceros herd immediately spotted their presence, abruptly changing direction as over thirty Tier Two Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses roared angrily, charging towards them.

Gongsun Run’s pupils contracted.

With a thought.

He promptly summoned his Life Dharma Artifact—the Purple Flame Spirit Banner.

He cast a technique upon it, causing the runes on the spirit banner to surge. With a boom, a mass of purple flame condensed into four shields to protect him within.

Rumble!

The furious horns of the Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses crashed into the shield, producing a deafening sound. Ripples spread across the purple flame shield, which cracked and shattered instantaneously.

Gongsun Run quickly formed seals with his hands.

A vast amount of mana poured into the Purple Flame Spirit Banner.

The Purple Flame Spirit Banner began to spin rapidly around him. Purple spiritual power surged from the banner, forming nine layers of purple flame shields. Each shield had distinct flowing runes, resonating with each other.

Narrowly, he temporarily fended off the combined attacks of the Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses.

"Second Brother, let me lend you a helping hand!"

Gongsun Tang, following behind, saw this.

Confidence surged within him.

He swiftly flung out the Cyan Rattan Spirit Rope.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Cyan Rattan Spirit Rope extended towards the Thunderhorn Rhinoceros herd, successfully binding the limbs of several Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses. Instead of struggling, the bound Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses followed the force of the Cyan Rattan Spirit Rope quickly towards Gongsun Tang.

Gongsun Tang had only reached Foundation Establishment for less than two years.

The maneuver of the Thunderhorn Rinoceroses left him somewhat bewildered.

By the time he reacted.

The Thunderhorn Rhinoceros was already right in front of him:

"Damn it!"

In a hurry.

Gongsun Tang retreated continuously, injecting spiritual power into the Cyan Rattan Spirit Rope. The runes on the rope shimmered with dazzling light, embedding into the ground. Instantly, countless sharp vines burst forth from the ground, forming a massive piercing array.

Just as he finished casting the spell.

The sound of something piercing through the air came from behind.

The next moment.

The horn of a Thunderhorn Rhinoceros pierced through his dantian, as during their Dharma Combat, a Thunderhorn Rhinoceros had silently circled behind him.

"Sixth Brother!"

On the other side.

Gongsun Run witnessed this scene, but it was already too late for him to provide support.

Gongsun Tang was slain in battle, and at this critical moment when Gongsun Run was desperately holding on.

The Gongsun Clan Leader and another had arrived behind the Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses.

"Vile beast!"

The Gongsun Clan Leader looked at the scene.

If he did not use his trump card today, more clan members might perish tragically.

Without further hesitation.

He immediately summoned the Gongsun Clan’s Clan Guardian Spiritual Artifact—the Mountain-Sealing Seal.

Once the Mountain-Sealing Seal appeared, the entire battlefield seemed to come to a standstill.

This Mountain-Sealing Seal was obtained by the forefathers of the Gongsun Clan from an ancient ruin. It had been refined by successive clan leaders and elders, containing a powerful and mysterious force.

The Fourth Elder’s eyes darkened:

"If the Patriarch had used the Mountain-Sealing Seal from the start, Sixth Brother wouldn’t have died so tragically."

"Fourth Elder, what are you waiting for? Quickly, help me activate the Mountain-Sealing Seal."

"Yes, Patriarch."

The Fourth Elder stepped forward, standing side by side with the Gongsun Clan. The two of them simultaneously formed complex and ancient Dharma Seals with their hands, chanting the old and obscure spell that had been passed down through generations, the key to unleashing the full power of the Mountain-Sealing Seal:

"Still not enough!"

The Mountain-Sealing Seal was a Tier Four Dharma Treasure remnant, having fallen to a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, but it was still difficult to fully activate with just the mana of the two of them.

The Gongsun Clan Leader’s eyes flashed with determination.

He opened his mouth.

With a puff.

He forcibly expelled a mouthful of essence blood, transforming into a blood mist, merging precisely into the Mountain-Sealing Seal.

Buzz!

With the infusion of essence blood, the Mountain-Sealing Seal seemed to awaken a slumbering soul.

The runes on the seal surface instantly shone brightly, the previously dim blue light becoming blazing and dazzling as if it was on fire. The spiritual power fluctuations around the imprint also became exceptionally intense, forming visible ripples of spiritual power spreading outward.

The Mountain-Sealing Seal began to rotate slowly, its speed initially sluggish.

But as the life force and spiritual power contained in the essence blood were continuously absorbed, its rotation became faster and faster.

"Roar!"

The Thunderhorn Rhinoceros herd sensed the formidable threat emanating from the Mountain-Sealing Seal, immediately changing direction.

They roared furiously, the strongest Thunderhorn Rhinoceroses concentrating all their Power of Thunder onto their horns. The horns flashed with blinding electric light, as thick bolts of lightning shot towards the Mountain-Sealing Seal like enraged Flood Dragons. The lightning sliced through the air with ear-splitting roars, seemingly intent on knocking the Mountain-Sealing Seal out of the sky.

However.

When the lightning struck the Mountain-Sealing Seal, the runes on its surface absorbed the Power of Thunder like a ravenous Taotie encountering a feast.

Each rune seemed to be a small vortex of spiritual power, greedily devouring the Power of Thunder. The blue spiritual power shield surrounding the Mountain-Sealing Seal became even thicker. When the lightning hit the shield, it only sparked a dazzling electrical display on the surface in a fireworks-like burst, unable to inflict any damage to the Mountain-Sealing Seal.

By this time, the Gongsun Clan Leader was already pale, the loss of essence blood making the flow of spiritual power within his body difficult.

"Patriarch, allow me!"

The Fourth Elder struck his chest with a palm.

Two mouthfuls of essence blood immediately turned into a blood mist, spraying onto the Mountain-Sealing Seal.

Buzz!

The Mountain-Sealing Seal, having absorbed enough spiritual power and Power of Thunder, finally began its counterattack.

The Mountain-Sealing Seal abruptly halted its rotation.

With the seal face down.

A wave of world-destroying spiritual power surged out from the seal body.

Next, a massive blue beam of light shot from the seal face, akin to a Divine Sword cleaving through the heavens, seemingly tearing the very space apart, producing a terrifying explosive noise. The beam contained the essence blood strength of the Gongsun Clan Leader and the Fourth Elder, along with the Power of Thunder absorbed by the Mountain-Sealing Seal, reaching a terrifying level of power.
