Meanwhile, at Black Witch Mountain.

At this moment, Yuan Ming was besieging the remnants of the Wu Yue Sect. All of a sudden, he felt as if his Divine Soul had exploded. A strong sense of dizziness and weakness surged into his heart, causing him to stagger a few steps before he directly collapsed to the ground.

Vajra, startled, quickly stepped forward to check on him, but by then, Yuan Ming no longer had the energy to speak. All his focus was on his Divine Soul.

Within the White Jade Lotus Platform, a constantly expanding black spot had appeared in Yuan Ming's Divine Soul. Endless evil thoughts kept assaulting his Divine Soul, as if tens of thousands of evil ghosts were hiding within the black spot, incessantly gnawing at Yuan Ming's Divine Soul.

At this point, Yuan Ming didn't even know how to cope with the situation. His continuously damaged Divine Soul made his spirit delirious, unable to form a single complete thought.

Fortunately, the White Jade Lotus Platform seemed to have sensed something wrong with Yuan Ming. It voluntarily transferred the stored Desire Power into Yuan Ming's Divine Soul, filling the depleted Divine Soul Power from the outside in, suppressing the expansion of the black spot.

The Desire Power flowing into him like warm water soon took effect. Yuan Ming's pain was greatly alleviated, and his consciousness gradually became clear. Realizing his current state, he even began actively guiding the Desire Power to repair his Divine Soul and resist the evil thoughts.

"Vajra, I need to heal, cover me…"

In the outside world, Yuan Ming, having sent a fragment of his mind to prop up his body, posed himself in a five-hearted-to-heaven position and instructed Vajra, before fully immersing himself in the battle against the evil thoughts.

...

Elsewhere, outside the gate of Chang Chun Temple, Wu Yue God was staring in the direction of Black Witch Mountain, his brows gradually furrowing.

Perhaps because Wu Yue God had finished casting, the survivors on the battlefield no longer felt any sudden alarm, but most of them still dared not disable their sensory shields.

Only Tian Jizi, seemingly prompted by the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl, voluntarily opened his eyes and looked towards the position of Wu Yue God. Seeing that there was no longer any anomaly, he couldn't help but exhale in relief.

"Was that just now the Curse Killing Divine Skill of Wu Yue God? With my cultivation and a Spiritual Treasure protecting my body, can I not even observe? Such a powerful skill, who was it cursing?"

Tian Jizi muttered to himself. His Divine Sense swiftly scanned the battlefield, but found that none of the high ranks of the Yunhuang Alliance were missing. Though some Nascent Souls had disappeared, none were significant figures, definitely not enough to provoke such a reaction from Wu Yue God.

"It's Yuan Ming. He had contacted me earlier, saying he was going to launch a sneak attack on the main base of the Wu Yue Sect from behind. The direction Wu Yue God was looking at, something major must have happened there, causing him such anger. He even disregarded his injuries and directly used curse killing," said Xi Ying's voice at that moment.

"Are these speculations Shadow God Envoy mentioned," Tian Jizi asked urgently.

"Speculations, but very likely accurate. Haven't you noticed, Wu Yue God is appearing as a soul body. During the Alliance meeting, he at least disguised himself a bit, making it hard for us to guess his condition. But this time, he openly exposed himself, which means his physical body must be facing significant problems, perhaps even annihilated. If I'm not wrong, he will personally attack the Great Array soon. As long as we can hold out for a while, he will definitely withdraw, and the Wu Yue Sect can only retreat," Xi Ying confidently said.

Upon hearing this, Tian Jizi immediately observed the state of Wu Yue God, and quickly confirmed that Xi Ying's words were true.

A Soul Cultivator reaching the Sleeping Witch Realm can keep his Divine Soul active outside the physical body for a long time, but that doesn't mean he can completely abandon the physical body and stay unharmed, especially his original physical body. Once it's lost, it will certainly drain his Primordial Qi. Even a Spoken Witch can only endure a bit longer, not completely unscathed!

At the same time, Wu Yue God also noticed Tian Jizi's probing and immediately snorted coldly, turning around to face Tian Jizi.

The next instant, two streams of black light shot out from his eyes, directly merging into the Divine Sense Tian Jizi was using to observe the battlefield.

Tian Jizi's brow immediately darkened, and his body stiffened simultaneously. His eyes wide open, he felt an overwhelming weakness throughout his body, unable to even lift a finger.

It was the Nili Divine Eye!

Tian Jizi's heart sank as he recognized the Divine Skill of Wu Yue God but was utterly unable to counter it, only able to watch himself inch towards death.

Just then, a surge of water-colored spirit light suddenly rose from the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl in front of him, and a Goddess clad in a feather robe emerged from the water light. Raising her right arm slightly, the cloth draped over her shoulder immediately flew out, encircling Tian Jizi's forehead like a headband. Waves of water-colored spirit light washed over Tian Jizi's body, drawing out countless black mists.

Tian Jizi finally regained control over his body. Without time to thank the Artifact Spirit of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl, he immediately began casting, powering the Sect Protection Array with all his might, teleporting back the Yunhuang Alliance Cultivators who had left the formation to fight, and also maximizing the power of the Formation.

In an instant, outside the Great Array, countless raindrops poured down, so dense that it seemed like an endless curtain, making it impossible even to see one's outstretched arm.

However, there were no clouds in the sky, and the rain seemed to come from the void, falling to the ground without leaving a single trace of moisture.

Yet, the Wu Yue Sect Cultivators caught in the rain felt a sense of stagnation, as if their bodies were covered in mud, their movements hindered by thousands of forces pulling at them. Even worse, the circulation of Spiritual Energy within their bodies was also affected; their meridians felt clogged by a thick fluid.

The Wu Yue Sect Cultivators had just removed their sensory shields and were still trying to determine where the recently encountered Yunhuang Alliance Cultivators had gone when they fell into such a predicament. For a moment, even Ni Mu and the others found it difficult to act again, attacking the Great Array of Chang Chun Temple.

However, although Wu Yue God was also standing in the rain, all the rainwater seemed to have its own consciousness, naturally bypassing him, not a single drop falling on him.

"Mere child's play."

Wu Yue God murmured softly, his figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared above the Great Array. With a push of his right palm downward, just this one action caused dozens of giant black palms to appear above the Great Array, smashing down without a moment's delay.

"Boom"

As the giant palms fell, the Great Array violently trembled, and its spirit light also dimmed by three parts simultaneously.

"Tian Jizi, support me with all your strength."

Within the array, the Artifact Spirit of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl looked much more somber. As he spoke, his hands were constantly forming spells, and the radiance on the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl surged significantly.

Next to him, Tian Jizi quickly sat down cross-legged and with his right hand, he touched his forehead where the wood grain was, pulling out a green strand of spiritual silk and threw it forward directly into the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl.

Immediately after, a vast tree phantom emerged around the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl. Though it was transformed by the spirit light, everyone who saw the tree's shadow could feel an extremely dense life force and vitality emanating from it.

In an instant, the spirit light on the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl increased threefold compared to before.

As the core power improved, it also immediately influenced the Sect Protection Array, not only causing the spirit light on the array to surge several times but also quickly repairing the parts that just were scattered by the Great Black Sky God Palm. Even the rain outside the array at this moment fell like a waterfall, merging into a single line, pouring down like a river washing everything away.

Seeing this, Wu Yue God let out a displeased cold snort and raised his hand to strike again with countless Great Black Sky God Palms, but this time, his movements seemed to have a slight delay that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Tian Jizi and the Artifact Spirit of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl didn't notice this; at the moment, their minds were fully focused on withstanding the attacks, unable to care about anything else.

However, at this moment, Ancestor Ming Quan, a protector nearby, suddenly noticed something wrong and exclaimed:

"The power of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl is too strong; the array patterns below can't hold on!"

Nascent Soul cultivators nearby, following his voice, saw beneath the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl a giant array's spirit light flickering chaotically, already showing signs of collapsing. Enjoy the story by reading on *.

The Sect Protection Array of Chang Chun Temple actually magnified and spread the power of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl to every corner of the mountain through the array runes, thus forming an indestructible Spirit Light Shield. The various abilities and methods of the formation were merely extensions of the power of the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl.

Without the array runes, the Canghai Xuan Water Pearl still possessed the power of a Spiritual Treasure grade, but neither Tian Jizi nor the Artifact Spirit could maximize this power. Even though they could withstand Wu Yue God with it, they could neither protect the Yunhuang Alliance Cultivators on the mountain nor help them resist the attacks of the Wu Yue Sect Cultivators.

Seeing the signs of the array runes collapsing, the crowd of Nascent Souls also grew nervous, and many Cultivators skilled in formations stepped forward, trying to help sustain the operation of the array runes.

"It's no use; to solve the problem, we must add runes to the formation to share the load, but where do we have the time to find spiritual materials that can withstand the power of the Spiritual Treasure?" Old Man Hei Zhu shook his head.

Other Array Masters nodded in agreement, arriving at a similar conclusion.

"But we can't just sit here and wait to die either. What spiritual materials meet the requirements? Speak up, maybe one of us has them!" Luo Zhu urgently said.

Old Man Hei Zhu nodded, just about to answer when he saw Golden Dawn Fairy walking out from the crowd.

"Let me try." she said softly.

Then, she clapped her hands together, and a book shimmering with golden light instantly appeared before her.

"Is that... the Heavenly Talisman Strategy? You've actually found it complete!" a knowledgeable Nascent Soul exclaimed in surprise.

Golden Dawn Fairy nodded, showing no intention to explain, and immediately cast several spells towards the book.

Instantly, a powerful wave of spiritual energy surged from the book, causing everyone's clothes to flutter, while the book itself suddenly opened, its pages soaring into the air with the energy flow, circling slowly around Golden Dawn Fairy.

Before Xi Ying came to the alliance, Yuan Ming had given her the other half of the Heavenly Talisman Strategy. After the abrupt appearance of Wu Yue God at the conference, Xi Ying also found Golden Dawn Fairy alone and gave her that half of the book.

The Heavenly Talisman Strategy contained all the runes mastered by its previous owners. As the current owner, Golden Dawn Fairy could use the golden thread pages stored in the Magic Treasure to replicate the effects of the runes without reservation.

She didn't need to study or know how to write; she only needed to understand the effects of the runes to deploy their power, almost with no threshold.

Moreover, the golden thread pages in the Magic Treasure would always maintain a constant number, replenishing slowly over time, even if they were consumed.
