Chapter 361 - The Hope of Life!

“Roar roar roar Roar–”

A deafening roar sounded like thunder, and a large area of the void suddenly collapsed under this roar.

This roar contained monstrous anger.

Clearly, that attack had caused some injuries to the Void Devouring Beast, and it was because of this that the Beast was now incomparably furious.

Such an outcome was undoubtedly very bad.

The dark gray area became increasingly frantic. It did not launch an attack, but the speed of the spirit boat suddenly increased by several times.

The pupils reflected the rapidly approaching Void Devouring Beast. Even with Yun Zhiyi’s current state, he could not help but change his expression.

He had never expected that even though he had paid the price of burning his life force, he still did not pose too much of a threat to the Void Devouring Beast. And what he had done was merely neutralize one attack, that was all.

Perhaps that wave-like attack was just a casual act of the Void Devouring Beast, and he had paid a very expensive price for it.

“Beat it back!” Yun Zhiyi spoke in a low voice, and the already damaged pseudo-saint-grade spirit array once again accelerated its operation, rushing towards the rapidly approaching Void Devouring Beast.

But even so, the Void Devouring Beast’s figure did not weaken in the slightest.

The distance between the spirit array and it was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, it also meant that the distance between it and the spirit boat was also shortening at an extremely fast speed.

“Speed up!” Elder Gu shouted sternly. He did not dare to hold back any more of his spiritual energy.

Originally, he still wanted to save some spiritual energy for the critical moment, but now there was no time for him to make any more plans. The most important thing was to increase the distance between them and the Void Devouring Beast.

Gu Xi and Qing Zhu once again clenched their teeth and began to squeeze out the spiritual energy in their bodies. However, the help that the two of them could do now could only be said to be minimal.

“You guys recover first. Leave this to me!” Sensing that the two of them were unable to do as they wished, Elder Gu immediately spoke up.

The two of them did not try to force themselves. Without saying a word, they sat down cross-legged and began to stuff the scattered medicinal pills into their mouths.

At this moment, the only thing the three of them could do was to increase the speed of the spirit boat. As for the matter of blocking the Void Devouring Beast, they could only secretly pray that Yun Zhiyi would be able to do it.

Boom–

In just a short moment, a violent explosion sounded.

The few of them subconsciously looked up and saw that the Void Devouring Beast did not dodge at all in the face of the spirit array. It chose the most brutal way to crash into the spirit array.

A large area of space began to collapse and assimilated into the surface of the spirit array. In just a few breaths, more than half of the already damaged spirit array had collapsed.

A rarely seen ruthless expression surfaced on Yun Zhiyi’s face as he watched this scene.

“Explode!” After his deep cry sounded, the operating speed of the pseudo-saint-stage spirit array suddenly increased by more than ten times. Soon after, the entire spirit array began to rapidly expand, with numerous cracks appearing on its surface.

From time to time, a heart-palpitating ripple would be emitted from within those cracks.

When the spirit array had expanded to a certain extent, it would explode with a loud bang.

The violent impact spread rapidly to the surroundings, and the void collapsed inch by inch, extending for more than a hundred miles. This scene could not help but shock the people below.

Gu Xi gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

It was not that he did not know the consequences of self-detonating the spirit array. Once it was detonated, the spirit array master would suffer a violent backlash from the spirit array, so severe that it could even endanger his life!

Right now, Yun Zhiyi had already burned his lifespan. If he were to suffer the backlash from the spirit array’s self-destruction, it was possible for him to die on the spot.

But before Gu Xi could think any longer, the shockwaves from the explosion spread toward the spirit boat at an extremely fast speed.

Boom boom boom–

A series of explosions rang out. As most of the explosions had caused the space to collapse, all of them had landed on the barrier above.

They did not have time to let out a sigh of relief because they could feel that the barrier would not be able to hold on for long. Who knows, it might collapse at any moment! At that time, they would not only be facing the Void Devouring Beast, but the spatial turbulence in the void tunnel would be even more dangerous!

Once the barrier disappeared, they would not be able to walk out of this place!

Of course, in order to prevent the barrier from collapsing, the first thing they had to do was to deal with the Void Devouring Beast that had been following behind them all this while.

The group of people looked towards the center of the explosion, wanting to take a look at the current situation of the Void Devouring Beast.

At the same time, Yun Zhiyi’s figure rapidly descended from above. Fortunately, Elder Gu had discovered it in time and saved him.

“Do your best and leave it to fate.” Yun Zhiyi smiled weakly, as if he had completely seen through it.

No matter how hard they tried, even if they had to pay the price of their lives, they were unable to threaten the Void Devouring Beast in the slightest.

At this moment, Yun Zhiyi’s face was extremely pale. The clothes on his body were already in tatters, and there were many ferocious wounds dotted on his body. From time to time, fresh blood would gush out.

If it was not for Elder Gu who had caught him in time and allowed him to fall, he would have fallen to his death on the spot in his current condition.

“Elder Gu, is there really no chance?” Qing Zhu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. Her beautiful face was already filled with exhaustion, and her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.

Hearing this, Elder Gu let out a long sigh. He raised his head and looked at the center of the explosion. It was as if he could faintly see a space that was squirming.

“If I do my best, I can still hold this beast off for a while. But even if I can hold him off, with your current state, I’m afraid that the spirit boat won’t be able to go far, much less escape from this Void Tunnel and reach the Eastern Continent.”

Elder Gu’s voice was filled with helplessness. This was the first time since he entered the Great Saint stage that he felt powerless and insignificant.

What he wanted to express was very simple: Today, they had no way out.

Gu Xi and the other two were not stupid. They naturally understood what Elder Gu meant to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the deck fell into dead silence. Only the collapsing space above was attacking the already fragile barrier.

“Am I really going to die here today?” Gu Xi looked up, his heart filled with unwillingness.

The impact of the explosion was gradually dissipating, and the collapsing space had slowly recovered its stability. However, not far behind the spirit boat, there was still a large gray space that was rapidly collapsing and recovering.

That was where the Void Devouring Beast was!

[Ding! Emperor-level Void Devouring Beast detected!]

[There are 596,413 impurities in total!]

[Would the host like to extract them?]
