The Demon-Splitting Spear Blade looks like a mechanical arm with a complex structure. The entire structure is made of titanium alloy, and some of the structures can be deformed at will.
The most critical titanium alloy is extremely compatible with the source of power, and the runes engraved on it are all at the nano level. Layers of runes are stacked in an orderly manner.
Gao Xuan studied it for a while and realized that the entire mechanical arm had a seamless structure. If you wanted to disassemble it, you would need special tools, or you could only do it by brute force.
Fortunately, Gao Xuan's spiritual power is strong and pure. His spiritual power can penetrate into the Demon-Splitting Spear Blade and fully reflect the core magic circle runes.
The Demon-Splitting Spear Blade was completely refined by Cao Ye, and his soul imprint was left on the core magic array.
Normally speaking, even if Cao Ye died, no one else would be able to control this magical weapon.
The only way is to break it violently and erase the soul imprint on the Demon Splitting Spear Blade. But this will destroy the core magic array of the Demon Splitting Spear Blade.
Gao Xuan's power lies in his ability to reflect the runes of the magic circle, see through the changes in the core magic circle, and even simulate the aura of Cao Ye's soul.
Although the Demon Spear Blade was a powerful magical weapon, it had not yet become spiritual. In essence, it was just a dead object.
Gao Xuan studied it for a while, and although he had not yet completely cracked it, by simulating Cao Ye's spiritual aura, he was able to gain control of the Demon-Splitting Spear Blade.
The Demon-Splitting Spear Blade can achieve structural deformation. Gao Xuan turned the Demon-Splitting Spear Blade into an arm armor and mounted it on his left arm.
The Demon Spear Blade in this state could not be used normally. Gao Xuan did not need to use it either, so he just hung it on his arm to avoid being seen by others.
The Demon-Splitting Spear Blade can be used, the Holy Armor and the Golden Light Sword are too unique.
Gao Xuan destroyed the core magic circle of the holy armor, and the holy armor immediately disintegrated and shattered into countless fragments.
The most valuable part of the Golden Light Sword is its core seal: the Xuanyang Gengjin Sword Seal.
This is a high-end variation of the gold rune, mixed with some fire runes.
The Xuanyang Gengjin sword seal is fierce and sharp, and is also one of the core seals of the Cao family.
If it were someone else, even if they specialized in gold runes, it would be almost impossible to reverse deduce the core seal through the Golden Sword.
Moreover, the Xuanyang Gengjin Sword Seal is very complex and has very high requirements for practitioners. One must major in the gold system and also practice the fire system in order to master the Xuanyang Gengjin Sword Seal.
For Gao Xuan, these were not a problem at all. He extracted the Xuanyang Gengjin Sword Seal, and the Golden Light Sword was also destroyed by him.
Finally, Gao Xuan erased all the cracks on his Xuanyuan Sword.
Although the Xuanyuan Sword is a standard sword, it has metal memory. As long as it is not completely destroyed, it can be restored to its original state through the nourishment of source power.
The marks left by the Golden Light Sword on the Xuan Yuan Sword could easily be seen by others. All traces must be completely erased.
It took Gao Xuan five minutes to get everything done, then he went around from the other side and entered the core battlefield.
During the five minutes he was busy, the battlefield had become a mess.
The evil spirits swarmed in and covered the sky. Looking around, there was black smoke everywhere.
Gao Xuan was not disturbed because, firstly, he was very reserved and deep-seated. Secondly, the main battlefield was too busy.
Chief examiner Huang Yingyue and others gathered together to form the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Formation, and the sacred light soared into the sky and the earth.
As more and more trial warriors join in, the Holy Light Demon Slaying Array becomes more and more powerful.
However, the strong holy light also attracted all the evil spirits in the entire Night Demon City.
Most evil spirits have no fighting power and will collapse into ashes on the spot once they are cut by a sword shining with holy light.
Even if the trial warrior stands still, the holy light on the holy armor alone is enough to burn an evil ghost to ashes.
However, there were too many evil spirits. Layer upon layer, countless evil spirits overlapped each other, and it was like a black tide rolling endlessly, with each wave higher than the last.
Although the Holy Light Demon Slaying Formation was as majestic as a pillar, it could only barely protect itself from the onslaught of endless evil spirits.
The key is that the evil spirits are endless, but the power of many warriors is limited.
With their souls controlling swords and holy armor, all warriors have strong fighting power. However, after a long time, the trial warriors can no longer hold on.
Generally speaking, this intensity of fighting would reach its limit after two or three minutes. If it continued any longer, it would definitely lead to exhaustion.
Only a Jindan expert could fight for a whole day and night without getting tired.
Moreover, even a Jindan master has his limits and cannot maintain a high-intensity combat state for a long time.
By the time Gao Xuan broke into the core area from the periphery, many warriors of the temple had already shown signs of fatigue.
Especially the young trial warriors, who had just reunited with many invigilators and activated the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Formation together, were all very excited.
The young men were so excited that they couldn't help but output frantically. But within a few minutes, they found that something was wrong. At this time, they had consumed at least 30% to 40% of their strength.
Seeing Gao Xuan rushing in, many trial warriors made room for him. None of the trial warriors greeted Gao Xuan.
In this situation, one more Gao Xuan would be useless. Even if three thousand trial warriors came over, it would be useless.
There was also a trial warrior who kindly reminded Gao Xuan: "Save some energy, the situation tonight is very bad."
Gao Xuan nodded, "Thank you."
As soon as the runes inside Gao Xuan's Holy Armor came into contact with the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Array, a connection was naturally established, and his power also became a part of the Holy Light Array.
At the same time, the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Array also fed back some of the holy light power.
This holy light power is actually the pure sacred energy stimulated by the divine rune seeds, which is the most restraining of various spiritual lives, especially negative energy lives such as evil spirits.
When illuminated by the holy light, many evil spirits will turn into ashes on the spot.
Huang Yingyue and the others all thought that the evil ghost was vulnerable. But after a few minutes, they also realized that the situation was not good.
There are endless evil spirits. If they continue to be consumed like this, the temple will definitely not be able to hold on first.
Once the trial warriors are unable to activate the holy armor, they are likely to be eroded by the evil spirits, and even their souls. By then, perhaps all the trial warriors will die here.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Huang Yingyue and others hurriedly adjusted their strategies.
The holy light that penetrated the sky and the earth quickly converged into a ball, covering all the Templars.
Huang Yingyue floated in the air and spoke condescendingly: "All warriors obey orders, strictly guard your positions, form a formation to protect yourself, and do not attack without authorization. Those who violate orders will be immediately disqualified from the trial..."
When many trial warriors heard Huang Yingyue's order, they were all shocked. The chief examiner said so, which showed that the situation was quite serious.
Fortunately, all the trial warriors have been trained, and only Gao Xuan, who cut in line, knows nothing.
The Holy Light Demon Slaying Formation also has formation requirements. All trial warriors have participated in formation training.
Under the command of Deputy Chief Examiner Yuan Ping, the trial warriors kept moving.
Looking down from above, circles of trial warriors move in a cycle, with the outer and inner circles constantly changing positions.
Such changes can also give the warriors fighting on the periphery a chance to catch their breath.
Although the evil spirits attacked from all directions, the pressure in the inner circle was much smaller after all.
The magic circle has greatly reduced the pressure on all warriors by adjusting their positions.
There are also dozens of foundation-building-level invigilators in the bureau to provide support, and they can immediately step in whenever there is a problem.
For a moment, the Templars and the evil spirits were in a stalemate.
However, Gao Xuan felt that the situation was not good because the evil spirits were becoming more and more powerful.
The most important thing is that the moonlight of the natural blood moon becomes increasingly intense.
The blood-red moonlight carries with it some kind of strong source power fluctuation, which is a great tonic for evil spirits.
Gao Xuan watched as several evil spirits evolved in the moonlight, and their illusory bodies gradually became real.
If this continues, I'm afraid most of the trial warriors won't be able to survive the long night.
Huang Yingyue and others also realized that something was wrong, but they knew nothing about the changes of the blood moon, and had no way to stop the changes of the blood moon.
On the other hand, although they had powerful magical weapons in their hands, they had nowhere to use them.
The evil spirits are like a surging tide, and without a leader, the only way is to destroy all of them.
This is obviously impossible. Moreover, evil spirits continue to emerge from the ground. It is useless to destroy the evil spirits in front of you.
The only solution Huang Yingyue could think of was to delay until dawn, and the evil spirit would naturally dissipate.
Fortunately, many trial warriors were able to form a formation to protect themselves, so there was finally a chance to delay the situation.
The situation is more serious than Huang Yingyue predicted. The more evil spirits die, the more evil spirits evolve.
In less than two hours, the evil spirits surrounding the Templar had transformed into physical entities.
These evil ghosts all had ferocious faces, were over two meters tall, and had well-developed muscles. If the Xuanyuan Sword was not used with all its strength, it would be difficult to cut off the evil ghosts with one strike.
The combat pressure also became particularly great.
The trial warriors on the periphery were also somewhat exhausted. No matter how hard they tried to maintain their strength, the two-hour battle not only consumed their physical strength, but also made them extremely tired mentally.
By this time, casualties began to appear among the trial warriors.
A trial warrior was accidentally caught by two evil spirits and was immediately taken out of the range of the formation.
Then a group of evil spirits swarmed in and wrapped the trial warrior tightly.
The trial warrior screamed and soon fell silent.
Although others wanted to rescue him, it was too late.
Less than a minute later, the group of evil spirits dispersed, leaving behind a shriveled corpse.
The holy armor that was shining with silver light turned filthy and dim, without any trace of holy light left.
An evil ghost stepped on the corpse, the holy armor shattered, and the corpse collapsed into a ball of ashes.
This horrifying scene also made many trial warriors change color with horror.
Huang Yingyue, who was in charge of the formation, was also helpless. All their strength was used to maintain the formation. It was unlikely that they would rush out to rescue people.
At this time, only by preserving the core of the formation can we protect more people.
In comparison, the killing of a single trial warrior was nothing.
This is the truth, but seeing young children being sucked of their blood and devoured of their souls by evil spirits still made masters like Huang Yingyue feel uncomfortable.
For the safety of everyone, the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Array is still shrinking.
Huang Yingyue was very worried. There were still more than four hours before dawn. If the evil spirits continued to mutate like this, they didn't know how long they could hold out.
In fact, the evil ghosts' transformation was still going on. Another hour later, the evil ghosts had not only transformed into physical bodies, but also had armor on their bodies and weapons in their hands.
What's even more terrifying is that some evil spirits have mastered magic, controlling fire, controlling ice, and so on.
This level of evil spirits is no less powerful than ordinary trial warriors. What's more terrifying is that there are as many as 100,000 evil spirits of this level.
However, all other smoke-like evil spirits have dissipated.
Huang Yingyue also understood that as long as they killed these 100,000 evil spirits, they would survive.
But, can they really kill 100,000 evil spirits
Huang Yingyue had no confidence at all, she didn't even have the certainty of escaping.
There were too many evil ghosts, and they were leaping and flying. Many of them had special abilities and were born with the ability to harness the power to cast spells.
The energy of the evil spirits that were killed will continue to be absorbed by other evil spirits. There are still many evil spirits evolving.
To be honest, Huang Yingyue was a little desperate. This was the first time she encountered such a troublesome thing. Although she tried to stay calm, she couldn't think of any solution.
All she could do was delay time as much as possible and wait for daybreak.
The same was true for the other invigilators, most of whom were from aristocratic families and had a smooth journey. Few people encountered such a bad situation.
At this time, many invigilators were already thinking about how to escape. They were all trying their best to retain their strength and prepare to escape immediately if the formation collapsed.
The Night Demon City is big enough, and there is always a chance to escape if you find a place to hide.
If you stay here and fight to the death, you will most likely be killed by the evil spirits.
The foundation-building masters were still able to conserve their strength, but the trial warriors were on the verge of collapse.
The continuous fighting had almost exhausted everyone's strength. The key point was that there was no hope in sight.
Gao Xuan was also speechless about this. These invigilators were too poor at responding to emergencies.
If this continues, morale will drop and the formation will inevitably collapse.
Gao Xuan was not afraid of anything. No matter how bad the situation was, he could always get out of it. But the trial warriors were doomed.
Regardless of their backgrounds, these young people are all very outstanding and excellent human beings.
Gao Xuan originally wanted to wait for Huang Yingyue and others to take the lead, but it turned out that none of them were up to the task.
At the critical moment, everyone became cowardly.
Gao Xuan was thinking when a trial warrior in front of him suddenly made a mistake and the Xuanyuan sword he swung out was caught by the evil ghost.
It was this delay that gave the other evil ghosts an opportunity to seize. Seven or eight evil ghosts stretched out their arms at the same time, trying to grab the feet, hands, or waist.
Many evil spirits worked together and forcibly dragged the trial warrior out of the formation.
The young warrior's face showed despair, and he felt that he was doomed. He was caught by the evil ghost, and the evil ghost's hard but cold claws made him feel cold all over, and even his source of energy was frozen.
At this moment, Gao Xuan suddenly flew forward on his sword.
The Xuanyuan Sword turned into a flowing silver sword rainbow, and the group of evil spirits surrounding the warrior were swept by the sword rainbow, and their tall and strong bodies collapsed instantly.
All the evil spirits within a radius of more than ten meters were killed by Gao Xuan's powerful sword.
Gao Xuan grabbed the trial warrior and threw him backwards, and then he filled the gap left by the warrior.
The rescued trial warrior was still in shock and stood there at a loss for what to do.
However, the other trial warriors saw it very clearly. Gao Xuan attacked to save people without hesitation just now. His sword skills were sharp and fierce, and his sword sweeping through the group of ghosts was majestic and extraordinary.
The warriors undergoing the trial all seemed to be cheered up. With such a selfless master by their side, everyone had more confidence to survive.
Some people even mustered their strength to cheer for Gao Xuan.
“Good job!”
“Handsome!”
"This brother is awesome, I'll sleep with you when we get back..."
A very pretty girl shouted.
Everyone was amused and a little excited. To hear such a sentence from a beautiful girl, even if it was just a word, was an infinite glory in front of everyone.
Gao Xuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone must cheer up at this time. We are Templar Knights. It is our duty to slay demons and protect the world. Although the evil spirits are fierce, there is no need to fear them!"
Gao Xuan's tone was flat, but he had just saved someone, so his words naturally had a powerful force that moved people.
The surrounding trial warriors also looked serious. Fighting to the death for survival was too low-minded. Gao Xuan's words awakened their sense of responsibility and honor.
Sacred honor and responsibility are the most powerful beliefs.
If a combat unit fights only for survival, it is just a mob, because survival is for itself, and there is no cohesion at all.
Only for responsibility and honor, all people are willing to dedicate and sacrifice. Only then can an organization and a combat unit have cohesion and strong combat effectiveness.
If it were any other old fox, Gao Xuan's righteous words might not be effective.
Surrounded by trial warriors, the oldest of them was only 18 years old. It was the time of youth and passion, and their hearts were full of various beliefs.
Hearing Gao Xuan's words, everyone's blood boiled.
Gao Xuan saw that the fire was almost ready, so he chanted loudly: "The holy light is bright, protect us all. The holy light is brilliant, protect our souls. The holy light is brilliant, overcome disasters and eliminate difficulties..."
This hymn was composed by the Divine Emperor and is the most important hymn in the temple.
Whether it is worshipping the Emperor of God, preaching the essence in the church, or various activities, the first thing to do is for everyone to sing hymns together.
The hymn is completely ancient, half spoken and half sung. Even people without musical sense can easily master it.
Gao Xuan took the lead in singing hymns, and the other trial warriors naturally joined in.
Sacred and solemn hymns can also inspire people's courage and stimulate the most positive emotions in their hearts.
As more and more trial warriors joined, the sound of the hymns became louder and louder.
Faced with the siege of a hundred thousand evil spirits, many trial warriors were panicking and their minds were on the verge of collapse.
The sacred hymn sounded, instantly inspiring the courage and determination of all the trial warriors.
This is the human mental state. When on the verge of collapse, there is suddenly hope and light, and people will naturally stimulate their potential.
The trial warrior in this state also has the courage to face death.
The two thousand trial warriors who formed the large formation sang hymns together. The resonance of the hymns instantly dispelled all the fatigue in their souls.
Every trial warrior regained vitality and strength. At this moment, the souls of all the trial warriors resonated and sublimated in the sacred hymn.
Just like going through thousands of trials and tribulations, every trial warrior has undergone a transformation.
This change in reaction also made the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Array suddenly become extremely stable.
Huang Yingyue, Yuan Ping and other invigilators who were presiding over the magic circle all looked at Gao Xuan who was in the outer circle.
Most of the invigilators knew about this over-age trial warrior, and they didn't have a very good impression of Gao Xuan.
It is shameless to join the trial at this age. Even if he passes the trial, his future prospects will be limited. Moreover, this person has no family background.
No one expected that at the critical moment, Gao Xuan suddenly broke out. He first rushed into the group of evil spirits to save people, and then sang hymns, guiding all the trial warriors to complete their transformation on the spiritual level.
The Holy Light Demon-Slaying Formation, which was originally on the verge of collapse, became extremely solid and stable because of the enlightenment of many trial warriors.
The resounding hymn moved the foundation-building masters like Huang Yingyue. At their age, their eyes were moist.
At this point, they have become more and more sophisticated and selfish, and have long forgotten their original intentions.
Masters like Huang Yingyue saw hope in the hymns and saw their former younger selves.
Without anyone saying anything, all the invigilators naturally joined in the chorus.
At this moment, hymns resounded in all directions, the holy light was brilliant and bright, and the souls of thousands of Templar warriors resonated and connected, forming an unshakable invisible Great Wall!
Even a hundred thousand evil ghosts felt that something was wrong. After standing there for a while, they suddenly came to their senses and howled miserably before rushing towards the bright and pure holy light again!
