"Opportunity!"
As the golden Sword Energy swept across the sky, Red Yin seized a fleeting moment of distraction from Yu Zhou behind her, yet she gritted her teeth and remained still. It was not until the True Yang Spirit that sprung from the Moon Demon pierced the malicious thoughts into Yu Ci, prompting Yu Zhou to instinctively shift his attention, that she abruptly unleashed her True Sha, charging forward.
Yu Zhou responded swiftly. Even though Red Yin had seized the initiative, a faint yet tangible Sword Energy still penetrated. In that instant, Red Yin altered her meridians and organ positions, setting up seven True Sha barriers to dissolve the Sword Energy to the greatest extent. However, while she could dissolve the Sword Energy, she couldn't erase the killing intent soaked in three hundred years of cultivation by the Old Daoist.
A slight pain in her heart meridian, Red Yin felt a burst of icy chill rising from the painful spot, exploding suddenly and spreading to every corner of her body in an instant, leaving her whole body cold. She grunted, the reversed blood rushed to her throat, and for a moment, she couldn't control her charging body and stumbled forward. She understood that the Old Daoist was truly intent on killing, without holding back in the slightest!
Her body was soaked in murderous intent, her heart meridian damaged, but Red Yin ultimately dodged the most lethal strike. Just as her body was about to collapse, a Spell chant passed through her mind, and her figure suddenly twisted and split, surprisingly dividing into two and shooting in two different directions.
"Excellent Bilocation Technique!"
Yu Zhou praised, appreciating Red Yin's decisive action. After all, the focus was not here at the moment. He did not pursue after his strike failed to achieve its full effect, and amidst the humming of his sword, he transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards Yu Ci.
Red Yin could no longer hold back the reversed blood, coughing it out in the midst of intense movement, staining her lips a more vivid crimson. At this moment, the True Yang Spirit transformed into a golden rainbow, laughing as it fled into the distance.
"That spineless thing, it never intended to resist!"
Even as Red Yin's thought was unfinished, the Curse Sound echoed throughout the sky, "Heaven and Earth Law Net, Five Directions Absolute Hell. Hurry!"
The laughter of the True Yang Spirit ceased, and at this instant, Red Yin also felt the air around her solidify.
The opponent wasn't targeting her, but this Curse technique-like method had a range that extended for miles. Within the range of the Curse technique, the air seemed to be coated with a layer of glue, making it difficult to move. Red Yin wanted to forcefully break through, but as soon as the True Sha started to vibrate, she pulled back.
There's more to come!
All of this wasn't merely the effect of a curse technique. At some point unknown, other mechanisms were buried in the void. As to how these mechanisms worked, Red Yin did not want to test.
She lifted her head. The True Yang Spirit seemed to sense the danger, transforming into a shower of golden light scattering in all directions, unsure of where to go. Just as it was about to escape into the void, a streak of flowing light flew out from behind the thunderclouds, circling back in the void, connecting head to tail, forming a rather large ring.
Under the dazzling golden light filling the sky, the ring seemed somewhat dim. However, soon, countless golden light spears in the void, like moths flying into a flame, began to gather towards it, as if the ring had a tremendous magnetic force.
In a blink of an eye, the golden stream of fire had taken shape, dancing and flowing on the ring. When they collided, sparks flew, crackling audibly. At that moment, there was nothing more eye-catching than this ring, even the golden human figure slowly appearing in the center of the ring could not compare.
Red Yin took a deep breath, steadying the Golden Elixir within her that was ceaselessly trembling. As soon as the ring appeared, the surrounding Primordial Qi of heaven and earth started to whirl, slowly rotating around the sky ring as the center. It could be said that the ten-mile radius of heaven and earth was entirely under the control of the ring. The original natural state was temporarily dominated by the unique operation of the ring. Any malicious stimulation could trigger a concentrated pressure from the Primordial Qi of the surrounding ten-mile radius, including, of course, the powerful magic of the ring itself.
Like the golden human figure in the center of the ring, it had triggered the ring seal. Even if it quickly differentiated and scattered into the surrounding void, it was still drawn out from the surrounding Primordial Qi by the ring, locked into the heart of the ring, unable to move for a while.
Such a powerful Magical Instrument, she had some impression in her memory. However, the identity of the person who came seemed not to match?
After the sound of the Curse, the person driving the ring had not yet appeared.
In the sky, the golden human figure, or the True Yang Spirit that jumped out of the Moon Demon, was struggling fiercely to break free from the ring's control. The golden light and electric fire on the ring flashed violently, occasionally emitting sharp and roaring howls. Although the power of the ring was strong, it was difficult to control. Its circular outline was constantly shaking, even several times distorted and deformed, looking like it was about to collapse.
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Xie Yan and Elder Jie Liang were both on the outside, not approaching. This ring was powerful, but difficult to control. To truly control it at will, one would need to have the Cultivation Level of a true person. The person controlling the ring had a Cultivation Level not inferior to the two of them, but there was still a gap compared to a true person. When fully activated, there might be accidental injuries.
Speaking of true people, the golden human figure in the center of the ring was indeed genuine, at least, it should have the qualification of a True Yang Spirit, but there was something odd about it.
In this world of Cultivators, to achieve the status of a True Being, two conditions must be met. Firstly, one must shape their True Form, that is, to cultivate their flesh body to a state of immortality, free from the woes of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Secondly, one must perfect their Yang Spirit, where the Primordial Qi throughout the body is governed by the Divine Soul. It can gather to form a shape, and disperse into qi, creating a harmonious and flawless state of mind. Only when these two elements are in place can one theoretically be considered a True Being.
However, generally speaking, it is easier to shape the True Form than to perfect the Yang Spirit, and their values in cultivation are not the same. In the eyes of many top-notch sects, shaping the True Form is a matter of dead work. As long as there is a first-class Vacuum Walking Method, supplemented by Elixirs and Pills, and used with hard work, there is a clear path. However, the Yang Spirit is tied to the Taoist Fetal Magic Body, which is of utmost importance, yet also the most difficult. Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for people to abandon their flesh bodies in order to cultivate the Yang Spirit and seek the Dao.
Achieving the Yang Spirit is difficult, but once achieved, it comes with great mystical powers. Xie Yan and another are both one step away from becoming True Beings, but the Lichen Sect is one of the major sects in the Cultivation World, with a broad perspective, and they are no strangers to True Yang Spirit. In their eyes, the person in front of them, although his qi realm is not wrong, seems to be somewhat disrespectful to the level of "Yang Spirit".
Xie Yan sneered, "If I am compared to him, the True Beings in the world should hide their faces in shame, unable to face the world."
Elder Jie Liang suggested, "Perhaps it is the Heart Demon Tribulation?"
At this moment, perhaps stimulated, the golden figure laughed sharply, "Young ones from the Lichen Sect, if you want to trap me with the Law Sky Prison, you have to get the one surnamed Fang to come here, open it for me!"
With a strange cry, the ring suddenly expanded, and a series of roars from the friction of Primordial Qi echoed in the air.
With a "crash", it seemed that it could no longer withstand the impact of the True Yang Spirit, and the ring fragments scattered in all directions. Just freed, the golden figure had no time to rejoice when he saw that the scattered fragments of the ring still maintained a strong magnetic force, pulling the golden light wrapped around it apart!
Like tearing a piece of cloth, the golden light around the body shattered.
"Darn, this is bad!"
For the first time since the battle began, panic surged from the heart of the golden figure. He could no longer care about anything else, using his remaining strength to turn into a rainbow of light, hoping to flee while the "Law Sky Prison" was disintegrating.
On the ground, Yu Ci had been observing the changes in the situation above. When the ring shattered, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if the air had boiled in an instant. The thick thunderclouds in the sky were torn apart, the ground was shaking, and a crack several feet long even appeared at his feet, and it was still extending.
An earthquake?
"Hold still!" Yu Zhou had already rushed over, reminding him from the side, "Once Law Sky Prison is activated, all the Primordial Qi within ten miles is at its disposal. This is your Uncle He borrowing the power of heaven and earth, tearing apart the Primordial Qi barrier of the Yang Spirit."
Yu Zhou's words seemed clear, but they involved extremely complex fluctuations in Aura, the gathering and dispersing of Primordial Qi, and even affected deeper levels of Curse technique. Yu Ci didn't understand any of this at the moment, he was just wondering, which Uncle He?
Just then, he saw it. From the shattered thunderclouds, a slender, snake-like shadow suddenly sprang out. Its timing and positioning were impeccable. As soon as it appeared, it collided head-on with the rainbow light transformed by the golden human figure.
"Out of my way!"
The golden human figure felt that the obstacle in front wasn't particularly strong. So, suppressing the old injury that was invading the Yang Spirit, it forcibly exerted strength, intending to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
However, before the magic power could be released, the Curse Sound vibrated. The chilling Curse Power solidified into a sharp sword, giving him no time to react, piercing straight in. The Curse Power itself was not lethal, but it tore through the golden light, striking the Divine Soul, causing a shockwave that finally broke the suppression of the old wound that had been forcibly suppressed by the sacrificial prayer, and it exploded violently.
Beneath the body's golden light, which had already dimmed considerably, shadowy figures spread out one after another. One, two, three, a total of six, covering the chest, abdomen, and limbs of the golden human figure, and they continued to spread. The golden light around the body wanted to reclaim these areas, but before it could exert strength, the slender, snake-like shadow in front crashed into it.
Before the impact arrived, the snake's mouth opened wide, and a strong suction force instantly locked onto its target, swallowing it in one gulp.
The sky's light suddenly darkened, and the snake shadow that swallowed the golden human figure swelled violently. It seemed unable to withstand the enormous energy inside, as if it were about to burst. But in the end, the snake shadow did not burst, but slowly moved in mid-air, like exercising after a meal, aiding digestion.
"It swallowed it?"
Yu Ci was dumbfounded on the ground. He had never expected such an outcome. Moreover, the snake shadow that was still moving looked too familiar.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Yu Zhou, and asked, "Temple Master, is this Uncle He?"
In that instant, Yu Zhou's old face became very interesting.
