My carefree life in space

Chapter 257 The Situation on the Mainland is Worrying

The demon leader, sprawled on the ground, struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, clearly severely injured. He finally understood why Black Rock had died in Lanyue City. The three before him were not to be underestimated; he had indeed been careless.

His face hardened, a resolute determination rising within him. He knew that if he couldn't obtain the fragment of the Brahma Bowl here, he would surely face the wrath of the Demon Lord. Gritting his teeth, he forcefully channeled the last of his strength, ignoring the backlash from his injuries, preparing to launch a final attack on the three.

The demon leader frantically formed hand seals, chanting incantations, his demonic energy surging and rolling like a raging black wave. The surrounding air seemed to be ignited by this demonic energy, emitting a sizzling sound, and space itself began to distort slightly.

Just as Lin Shushu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, they noticed the demon leader's unusual movements, and their expressions instantly turned serious.

"Oh no, he's going to fight to the death!" Lin Shushu shouted.

Mo Ze swiftly gripped his longsword, its blade gleaming once more. He channeled his spiritual energy to its limit, preparing to meet the final onslaught. Xiao Jingping also immediately assumed a defensive stance, his sword held horizontally in front of him, his spiritual energy coalescing into a protective shield.

The demon leader roared and thrust his hands forward, unleashing a thick pillar of black demonic energy that charged towards the three like a howling demon. Where the pillar passed, a deep trench was torn in the ground, and the surrounding trees instantly turned to dust.

Recalling her battle against the powerful demons in Lanyue City, Lin Shushu decisively channeled all the power bestowed upon her by the fragment of the Brahma Bowl into the Star Mirror. The Star Mirror immediately shone brightly, releasing a soft yet incredibly resilient light barrier that enveloped the three of them.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping also merged their spiritual power with the light barrier to jointly resist this powerful attack.

The pillar of demonic energy slammed into the light barrier with a deafening roar. The light barrier trembled violently, its light flickering as if it might shatter at any moment. The powerful impact whipped up a gust of wind, sending dust and debris flying into the air.

Lin Shushu gritted her teeth, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping also looked solemn, doing their best to maintain the stability of the light screen.

At the critical moment, Lin Shushu had a flash of inspiration. She tried to guide the power of the fragment of the Brahma Bowl to dissolve the power of the demonic pillar.

As Lin Shushu worked harder, the collision between the demonic energy pillar and the light barrier gradually changed. The originally intense impact subsided, and the power of the demonic energy pillar began to slowly dissipate along the patterns of the light barrier.

Upon seeing this, the demon leader's eyes showed a hint of fear. He wanted to increase his power, but found that he had very little power left, and his body was swaying precariously as he forcibly pushed his power.

Ultimately, thanks to Lin Shushu's efforts, the power of the demonic energy pillar was successfully neutralized. The black pillar of demonic energy gradually dissipated into the air, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield.

The demon leader watched all this in despair, his body swayed, and with a "poof," he spat out another mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground, completely losing the ability to resist.

Lin Shushu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the fallen demon leader. This battle made them realize even more clearly that the path to finding the fragments of the Brahma Bowl was fraught with peril, but it also strengthened their resolve.

When the other demons saw their leader defeated, their morale collapsed, and they lost all will to fight, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

How could Lin Shushu and the other two let them escape so easily? After all, letting these demons go could bring endless hidden dangers to their subsequent operations.

Mo Ze, like a black lightning bolt, pursued the fleeing demons. His figure darted swiftly through the forest, his longsword gleaming coldly. With each swing, a sharp sword aura shot out, accurately striking the fleeing demons.

Xiao Jingping unleashed a series of spiritual energy swords, blocking the demons' escape routes. Lin Shushu, on the other hand, wove her spiritual energy into a net, trapping all the demons within it.

With the combined efforts of the three, the fleeing demons were gradually wiped out.

"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer," Lin Shushu said. Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping nodded, and the three of them left without lingering, heading towards their next destination.

While they were busy searching for the fragments of the Brahma Bowl, the situation on the Azure Cloud Continent was rapidly deteriorating out of control.

After learning that the seal on the ancient demon god had loosened, the demons became even more frantic, sending more people to conduct a thorough search of every inch of the continent, hoping to find the Brahma Bowl, break the seal completely, and allow the demon god to return to the world.

In an instant, the entire continent was plunged into chaos and fear. Demon spies were everywhere like ghosts, and as soon as they discovered any clues related to the Brahma Bowl, they would quickly report it, and then a large number of powerful demons would swarm to the scene.

In order to protect the places where fragments of the Brahma Bowl might exist, the major sects engaged in fierce conflicts with the demons.

In the northern city of Hanja, an ancient ruin was rumored to hold clues to the Brahma Bowl. Upon learning this, the demons immediately dispatched an elite force to investigate. The disciples of the Tianheng Sect, guarding the ruin, fought valiantly against the demons.

However, the demons were numerous and fearless; as one wave fell, another surged forward. The battle raged for days, leaving corpses strewn throughout the city and beyond, the earth stained crimson with blood. In the end, although the Tianheng Sect successfully repelled the demons, it also suffered heavy casualties and was severely weakened.

Meanwhile, in the Valley of the Wind in the west, the demons somehow learned that fragments of Brahma's Bowl were hidden in the valley, so they gathered a large army and attacked the Valley of the Wind.

A fierce battle erupted at the valley entrance, the two sides clashing in a breathtaking display of black demonic energy and spiritual light, staining the sky an eerie color. Ultimately, Hefeng Valley was outnumbered, and all the disciples who remained, including the valley master, perished.

Worse still, the seal on the ancient demon god within the dark abyss is becoming increasingly critical. The already appearing fine cracks have not only deepened and widened, but many new fissures have also appeared. The black demonic energy seeping from these fissures is becoming increasingly dense, as if an invisible black hand is trying to tear the seal apart completely.

The space around the abyss was distorted and deformed by this powerful and evil force, and any creature that got close was corroded by the demonic energy and instantly turned into dust.

The powerful figures from various sects who noticed the changes in the seal were extremely anxious, yet helpless. They knew that once the Demon God broke free of the seal, the entire continent would be plunged into utter destruction.

At this moment, everyone placed their hopes on Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping, hoping that they could find all the fragments of the Brahma Bowl as soon as possible, repair the seal, and save the continent from disaster.

Meanwhile, Lin Shushu and her two companions were on a difficult journey searching for the fragments of the Brahma Bowl, unaware of the dire changes in the situation on the continent. Even if they were aware, they would be powerless to do anything about it in the short term, as their search was fraught with challenges.
