The greatest reliance of the attackers was actually their numerical advantage.
The moment Xiao Zhan unleashed his strength to match Seventh Elder head-on, the battle on the field reached a balance.
At least, this was the understanding of most people present.
However, this attack was a gamble from the start. Since they made their move, the attackers had to give their all to kill Su Wen, or the consequences would be endless.
On the other hand, Meng Shenji and the others, who were protecting Su Wen, aimed to fend off this wave of assault.
In the balanced situation, there was still hope.
However, with Su Wen using the Spirit Fusion Technique, revealing the incarnations of five Old Spirit Douluo-level beings, the battle power became completely unbalanced.
At this moment, Tang Xiao and the others understood that the two sides were no longer matched!
Even if he unleashed the Ring Explosion Secret Technique and the Great Sumeru Hammer, he couldn't guarantee success.
On the contrary, if they continued to entangle, they would be dragged to death.
Tang Xiao made a decisive decision, exploding four Spirit Rings, his power erupting as he performed the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. The blood-red and dark golden patterns on the Clear Sky Hammer flickered with dazzling light.
Boom!
Bone Douluo Gu Rong was repelled.
Tang Xiao swiftly headed towards Seventh Elder's position, and the two sides were about to converge.
"Heaven-Opening Seal!"
Su Wen, merging his true form with Ning Rongrong's Martial Spirit, launched his first attack.
The previous five incarnations only had his usual burst combat power.
But Su Wen's true form in the Spirit Fusion Technique state was stronger.
Three Heaven-Opening Seals blasted in three different directions.
One seal landed in front of Tang Xiao, another headed towards Seventh Elder. The third seal blasted towards one of the other two Old Spirit Douluos.
Pages scattered, and the entire battlefield was enveloped by them. Su Wen's domain fully expanded, covering everyone.
A pressure emerged out of thin air. Each page seemed to form an illusory space, an illusory world.
Ning Rongrong, who was fused with Su Wen's Martial Spirit, clearly felt it, as if a huge, magnificent pupil burst with dazzling light.
At this moment, everything seemed dreamlike. The space within each page seemed to become reality, an illusory world drawn by illusions.
A single page entering one's view meant being subjected to the erosion of its illusions.
Within the entire "World in a Book," pages filled the sky!
Creating the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge was not just a physical task for Su Wen, nor was it merely working in vain.
He had his own gains.
Meng Shenji was also in a daze because he felt the effects similar to his third, fourth, and sixth Spirit Skills from Su Wen's "The World in a Book."
No, it wasn't just his Spirit Skills.
He also sensed the effects of many other Spiritual-type Spirit Skills.
Spiritual chaos, spiritual confusion, illusion space, and so on.
Besides his own Spirit Skills, in Su Wen's numerous illusion spaces constructed from those pages, he saw a wealth of scenes, truly encompassing everything.
His expression was dazed.
Su Wen, is he still human?
How could he possibly construct such a vast illusion?
Indeed, the ability Su Wen was using now appeared to Meng Shenji as an illusion.
But the framework of this illusion was too large, so large that hundreds or even thousands of pages each outlined illusion spaces, supplemented by various Spiritual-type Spirit Skills to confuse the enemy, thus forming a large-scale illusion.
At this moment, all the enemies in the battle were affected.
Even if they could briefly resist the erosion of one illusion, could they resist the erosion of dozens of illusion spaces entering their view?
Boom!
Tang Xiao detonated his fifth ring. The pain and the surge of Soul Power from the Ring Explosion kept him awake, allowing him to resist Su Wen's illusion erosion.
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand fiercely towards the descending Heaven-Opening Seal.
The Heaven-Opening Seal was self-perfecting over time. The space within it became increasingly real, and the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind began to evolve further. Their power combined more harmoniously, and the space power was perfectly integrated into the Heaven-Opening Seal.
Boom!
Not only Tang Xiao, but Seventh Elder and another Spirit Douluo also were awed by the terrifying pressure of the Heaven-Opening Seal.
Combined with the confusion of the illusion, Seventh Elder could only hastily activate his Spirit Ring. He launched his ninth Spirit Skill, but he couldn't gather his full strength and could only make a hurried defense.
Puff!
Seventh Elder, already heavily injured, spewed out a mouthful of blood at this moment, mixed with numerous internal organ fragments. The Clear Sky Hammer dissipated from his hand.
His eyes widened in fury as he stared in Su Wen's direction. The intent to kill still uncontained, but deep in his eyes at this moment, there was also profound resentment.
"The World in a Book," golden light streams flashed one after another, transforming into sharp silver Wind Blades that slashed mercilessly at the defenseless Seventh Elder.
In his final moments, Seventh Elder's gaze towards Tang Xiao also held resentment.
"It's all because of you two brothers!"
Seventh Elder stared with wide eyes, his life force extinguished.
On the other side, another Spirit Douluo fared even worse than Seventh Elder. He was not only intimidated by Su Wen's Heaven-Opening Seal but also confused by the illusion, unable to even use his Spirit Skills.
Though he was in his prime, under this Heaven-Opening Seal, he too suffered severe injuries.
The golden light transformed into silver Wind Blades, shuttling through the space, unavoidable. This Spirit Douluo was instantly on the brink of death.
The pagoda surrounded by countless pages seemed motionless, yet it gave the impression that its gaze was shifting, looking towards others.
The last Spirit Douluo's body was covered in goosebumps, with infinite fear rising in his heart.
"So terrifying."
Tang Xiao also roared in anger, detonating his sixth ring.
His eyes were bloodshot, the faint red and dark golden patterns on the Clear Sky Hammer vanished, turning pure black.
He swung the hammer towards Bone Douluo.
After the recent delay, Bone Douluo had already prepared himself, launching another attack towards Tang Xiao.
The illusion confused their minds.
From Su Wen's display within the illusion created by the book, in just a short moment, those Spirit Emperors who had charged out lost their minds and were killed by Su Wen's external incarnations.
The last three Spirit Saints who charged out barely held on for ten breaths before being killed by Su Wen's external incarnations.
The frenzied Spirit Douluo, along with the five external incarnations and Meng Shenji's encirclement, fell victim to the illusion and was killed due to mistakes.
Among the initial five who appeared with Tang Xiao, the last Spirit Douluo and three Spirit Saints attempted to escape, but had no way out.
The three Spirit Saints were specifically targeted by Su Wen, their Sea of Consciousness receiving a bombardment.
The impact wasn't strong, but it was swift and abrupt.
Their Sea of Consciousness trembled, invaded by illusions, and they lost any chance of escape.
Watching each assassin being killed by Su Wen, Tang Xiao's heart grew increasingly furious and powerless, even faintly desperate.
"Today, all of you will die!"
Su Wen's words were not wrong. If things continued like this, even if Tang Xiao detonated all nine Spirit Rings, he might still be entangled to death.
Bone Douluo's offensive power was somewhat lacking, but his defense was truly abnormal. Coupled with Ning Fengzhi's Fourth Spirit Skill for defense and the strongest attribute boost from his sixth Spirit Skill, he could now withstand a level ninety-seven Super Douluo in defense.
