Chapter 1301  Dark mountain

If it wasn't clear before, it was crystal clear now. The vampires wanted Liam and his group dead no matter what the cost was. From the looks of it, they were even willing to sacrifice higher-level elite soldiers for this purpose.

Liam could immediately tell that this fight was not going to be easy. Apart from the vampires, he also had the golden pyramid to deal with. The pressure at the moment was suffocating and without a dao field, Rey, Madan, and Lan Deming, perhaps even Eldrin would instantly die.

This meant that the dao field couldn't be down even for a second and this was a huge problem. A problem that was not going anywhere as the vampires squarely landed on the platform right next to Liam's and distributed themselves in such a manner that they at least occupied four of the six surrounding platforms.

But it did not matter because the next second, the eight vampires intensified their dao fields as they charged forward all at once, leaping onto the same platform as Liam and the group were currently standing on.

While no sane person would wantonly expose themselves in such a manner, there was no rule against many groups occupying the same platform.

The vampires did not stop there as each one unsheathed a Scimitar and swung down at the dark energy dao field that Liam had erected. Their attacks were enhanced by a strange glow and the moment their weapons touched the barrier, swirling blood whirlpools erupted on the spot burrowing into the dao field. Liam's eyes widened. The strength of their attacks was extremely overpowering. All of them seemed like they had undergone the same sort of training as their attacks might as well be photocopies of one another.

More importantly, if he did not do something soon then there was even a chance for them to break his barrier. To be able to attack with this much energy whilst maintaining a dao field of their own was astonis.h.i.+ng. The chances were that these vampires might be burning a tremendous amount of their life force but Liam wouldn't count on them turning into husks anytime soon. He learned from the souls he had processed that the vampires possessed many lifeforce replenis.h.i.+ng treasures to go along with their taboo method. He had also picked up on some method to cultivate life force which was something unheard of in whatever basic knowledge he had picked up so far. So instead of waiting for them to burn out, he needed to act first.

Liam immediately decided to switch to earthen essence. Earthen essence was better at defending when compared to dark essence at least from the limited understanding that he possessed.

The next moment earthen barriers erupted at the eight spots where the blood whirlpools had taken root. The impact sent tremors through the platform and Liam was heaving as he had essentially erected two dao fields at the same time.

Even though they were weak ones, it left him completely drained, gasping for breath under the strain of dual dao fields. The earthen barriers, fortified with the essence of the earth, managed to halt the advance of the blood whirlpools, creating a temporary stalemate on the battlefield.

The vampires, momentarily thwarted, regrouped with ferocity. Their eyes, alight with a predatory gleam, focused on Liam, who stood at the center of the storm he had conjured. It was clear that they were targeting him.

The next moment strange runes flashed above their heads as a dense dark energy started gathering. Liam could tell from this distance that the dark ball of energy was nothing good. It contained a hint of soul energy with a lot of resentment and anger. It was as if someone had captured boiling emotions and weaponized them.

Despite the exhaustion that clawed at his limbs, Liam knew that he had to act soon and finish this once and for all. The vampires did not look like they were going to stop any time soon. He had a clone from which he could siphon information and for now, this simply had to be enough. Things were getting a little too risky for his taste.

In a single move, he had to somehow end this. But first, he had to stop whatever attack these lunatics were casting.

With gritted teeth, Liam expanded the earthen essence, reinforcing the barriers and extending spikes from their base, turning the defensive structures into offensive weapons. The next instant, spikes, imbued with the raw power of the earth, lanced toward the vampires with unerring precision, aiming to disrupt their formation and force them on the defensive.

However, it looked like they were already expecting something like this and immediately blocked the attacks with waves of blood las.h.i.+ng out at the spikes.

The dark energy hovering above started condensing rapidly in the form of a mountain, more specifically an inverted mountain and it was hanging right on top of Liam's head ominously.

Liam gulped. It would be a mistake to underestimate this thing. They probably knew about his strength from his fight up until now and had only engaged him being confident in their abilities to deal with him. This attack was likely too strong for him to handle. But he needed one more second. He clenched his fist and stayed put taking the gamble and the mountain became even bigger, its shadow almost covering the entire group. Some of the vile energy even started seeping through the dao field.

Then suddenly the mountain started descending down. Liam was running out of time. At the same time, something else happened. A ripple spread from the golden pyramid.

Liam's grip on his sword tightened. This was exactly what he was waiting for. He was done with playing games with these vampires. In a single swift move, he churned his ice elemental dao seed and his black sun, the nether dao seed at the same time.

Just as the mountain of dark vile energy descended, the earthen dao field flickered and in its place, a frigid black wall stood tall.
