My carefree life in space

Chapter 285 Trapped in a Dire Situation

As spiritual energy was infused, the golden light of the Brahma Bowl and the starlight of the Star Mirror merged, forming a strange and powerful force. This force slowly surged towards the sealing array, attempting to suppress the terrifying power that was about to break free.

Under the combined effect of the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror, the sealing array, which had been violently shaking and surging with demonic energy, seemed to calm down. The terrifying roar also gradually weakened, and the rate at which the demonic energy overflowed noticeably slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shushu felt a glimmer of hope, but she knew that she could not let her guard down at this moment.

The Demon Lord and the demon race's high command naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch the seal be reinforced. Seeing the sealing array subside, a ruthless glint flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes, and he roared, "We can't let them succeed! Attack with all your might!"

Upon hearing this, the demon clan's high command unleashed a barrage of sharp demonic attacks upon Lin Shushu. Lin Shushu felt the pressure from the outside world, but she still gripped the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror tightly, concentrating her mind to maintain the stable sealing power.

As expected, the demons' attacks did not land on her; at crucial moments, they were always stopped by Venerable Lingyun and the others.

However, the calm of the sealing array lasted for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before a new wave of tremors struck, even more powerfully.

The sealing array trembled violently, like a raging beast, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Dense demonic energy surged from the cracks, instantly turning the surrounding space pitch black.

Lin Shushu felt a powerful recoil force strike her, and her body was sent flying uncontrollably. The Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror in her hands almost slipped from her grasp. She crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.

"Shushu!" Mo Ze exclaimed, ignoring the demons' attacks, he rushed to her side, helped her up, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry, "How are you?"

Lin Shushu shook her head with difficulty, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, "I...I'm fine, I can't give up..." Her voice was weak, but it revealed a firm determination.

Although Mo Ze felt sorry for her, he also knew the current situation. If the demon god broke the seal, none of the righteous people present would be able to leave alive. He gripped his longsword tightly and stood beside Lin Shushu, protecting her.

Seeing this, Venerable Lingyun and the others felt a pang of anxiety. They knew the sealing formation was in dire straits. Venerable Lingyun shouted, "Everyone, quickly deal with these demons to help our young friend Lin!"

Upon hearing this, the righteous experts all revealed expressions of fearlessness, recklessly unleashing their ultimate skills to engage in an even fiercer battle with the demons.

However, the demon race's higher-ups were not to be outdone. As if seeing a glimmer of hope, their offensive showed no sign of abating. In an instant, demonic energy swirled and spiritual power overflowed throughout the space, and the battle reached its climax.

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Lin Shushu knew that this was the final, crucial moment.

She took a deep breath and placed the scale that Cangwu had given her in front of her chest. The scale emitted a mysterious power, as if giving her courage and support.

She once again channeled the last vestiges of her spiritual energy, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, her face as pale as paper yet radiating unwavering resolve. Under her control, the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror intertwined with golden light and starlight, forming a dazzling curtain of light.

The light barrier, like a solid wall, moved towards the sealing array, attempting to suppress the violent power.

As the light barrier came into contact with the sealing array, the vibrations of the sealing array noticeably weakened. The dragon scales of Cangwu played a miraculous role at this moment; with their protection, Lin Shushu was no longer impacted by the powerful backlash, allowing her to focus more intently on maintaining the power of the light barrier.

For a moment, Lin Shushu and the power of the demon god in the magic array seemed to be locked in a fierce tug-of-war.

The demon's power surged like a raging tide, relentlessly battering the light barrier, attempting to break through this obstacle; while Lin Shushu, relying on her indomitable will and the power of her magical artifacts, held firm, preventing the demon's power from making any breakthrough. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping watched Lin Shushu anxiously from the sidelines as they did their best to block the demons' attack and buy time for Lin Shushu.

Just as Lin Shushu and the demon god's power were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand, the magic array suddenly stopped, and everything around seemed to freeze in an instant, yet the tense atmosphere did not diminish in the slightest.

Lin Shushu was on edge, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She stared intently at the sealing array, the light from the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror in her hands weak but resolute.

As expected, the calm was merely a temporary illusion before the storm. The demon god within the magic circle seemed to have accumulated enough power, but this time he did not attempt to break the seal as before. Instead, like a greedy beast, he opened his invisible maw and frantically sucked in the dense demonic energy around him.

The overwhelming demonic energy, like a black torrent, converged towards the center of the magic array at an astonishing speed. Moreover, even the demonic energy emanating from the Demon Lord and other high-ranking demons was not spared.

The Demon Lord, who was originally surrounded by dense demonic energy, was now horrified to find that the demonic energy within his body was uncontrollably surging outwards. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and fear.

"No! How is this possible!" he roared madly, trying to resist the force, but to no avail.

The other high-ranking demons were also thrown into chaos. They struggled frantically, trying to break free from the suction force, but all their efforts were in vain. Their demonic energy was being continuously drawn away by the demon god, as if being peeled away layer by layer.

Upon witnessing this scene, Venerable Lingyun's expression suddenly changed drastically, his face revealing an unprecedented solemnity. "This is bad! The Demon God is absorbing the power of its own kind to strengthen itself!" he shouted, his voice filled with anxiety and worry.

Upon hearing Venerable Lingyun's cry, the righteous experts realized the gravity of the situation. They joined forces to try and sever the connection between the Demon God and the demon race, but their efforts were in vain.

A resolute glint flashed in Lin Shushu's eyes. She suppressed the weakness of her spiritual power being about to be exhausted, concentrated her mind again, and activated the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror. The two forces slowly seeped into the sealing formation.

However, after absorbing a large amount of demonic energy and the power of the demon race, the demon god formed a powerful protective barrier around the sealing array.

This barrier, like an impregnable city wall, emitted an eerie black light, firmly blocking the power unleashed by Lin Shushu. Those two originally powerful forces, now hindered by the barrier, were unable to approach the sealing formation even an inch.

Lin Shushu looked unwilling. "Am I going to fail today?"
