What is an immortal?
Chapter 750 - 721 Trap
The Wu Yue God's brows twitched, and she turned to look several tens of steps away from herself, only to see Xi Ying reappearing beside the Chenxia Spear, holding the Magic Treasure in one hand with a look of lingering fear.
At this moment, the Wu Yue God's complexion had turned somewhat pale, but the vicious light in her eyes flashed, and she raised her hand again without hesitation, casting the Evil Curse Kill once more, clearly not intending to give her opponent any time to catch their breath.
However, a hint of ruthlessness flashed through Xi Ying's eyes as she raised her hand to her brow, releasing all the Divine Soul Transformations in her Sea of Consciousness at once.
"Space Confinement!" she spoke at the same time, using her speak and follow the law Divine Power.
The Wu Yue God felt a bad premonition and quickly stopped casting, withdrawing at once, but it was already too late.
The moment Xi Ying's voice fell, the surrounding space instantly became incredibly sturdy, preventing anyone from using any means to traverse through space or change their position.
At the same time, all the Golden Crows gathered in front of her merged into a fist-sized white dot surrounded by a hazy halo, as if something was distorting the light.
Suddenly, the white dot soared upward, rushing into the sky, and after just a breath's time, it violently exploded.
In an instant, everyone on the battlefield saw that the sky above their heads had been dyed gold.
It wasn't the original sky that had been colored, but a huge sun that had taken the place of the firmament.
For the first time, everyone saw the True Face of the sun from such a close distance. The dazzling golden light was like a sharp sword, making everyone who dared to look up feel their eyes sting as if they were about to be blinded.
At the same time, the temperature on the battlefield rose rapidly, the light was distorted by the high heat, and the scorching air entered their lungs with each breath, scalding their organs and throat.
The moment the sun appeared, the skin on the Wu Yue God's body immediately started to burn, and the intense pain made him clasp his head, wanting to cry out, but his throat, filled with burns, could not utter a sound.
He struggled to escape the burning range of the harsh sun, but the moisture in his body was rapidly depleting. In just five breaths, he completely turned into a dried corpse, and his Divine Soul, now left without the protection of his Physical Body, could only rely on his Soul Power to desperately hold on, clinging to the last thread of life.
Five breaths later, when the Wu Yue God's Soul Power was about to be exhausted, the harsh sun in the sky suddenly vanished, and the heat around them gradually decreased, no longer requiring the Wu Yue God to resist with his Soul Power.
Not far away, Xi Ying stood with a pale face, no longer having any Soul Power left in her Sea of Consciousness. Her Divine Soul Transformations were all consumed, leaving her completely incapable of using her Soul Cultivation Divine Power.
The Divine Power she had just used was called "Sunburn," a power she obtained when she broke through as a Spoken Witch. Although its might was terrifying, it required her to forcibly consume all Divine Soul Transformations to condense into a harsh sun that scorched all things.
And once the Divine Power was activated, it could not be canceled voluntarily; it could only naturally dissipate after her Soul Power was entirely exhausted.
At this moment, Xi Ying, due to the excessive consumption of Soul Power, was even struggling to stand, her body shaking, ready to collapse at any moment.
However, seeing this, the Wu Yue God had no intention of taking the opportunity to counterattack, as his own condition was not much better than Xi Ying's. The pain from twice losing his Physical Body greatly weakened his Divine Soul.
Therefore, he decisively used his Soul Power to sweep up the Faceless Divine Statue and flew away without hesitation toward a place beyond the heavens.
But just then, in the void next to him, the Chenxia Spear appeared out of nowhere, and without waiting for him to speak, the spear's tip simply stirred and directly tore his Divine Soul to shreds.
The Wu Yue God, who had rampaged for so many years, even once threatening the entire Yunhuang, now watched powerlessly as his Divine Soul perished between heaven and earth, without even managing to utter a final cry.
The Faceless Divine Statue and the Storage Ring hidden within the Wu Yue God's Divine Soul fell to the ground simultaneously, and Xi Ying, having depleted the last of her mental strength, collapsed powerlessly.
Fortunately, although Xi Ying's Soul Power was exhausted, she still had Mana within her, and the Chenxia Spear quickly flew back, automatically protecting its master, preventing her from falling into a state where others could easily slaughter her.
Fifteen minutes later, Xi Ying's dried-out Sea of Consciousness finally regained a trace of Soul Power, and her consciousness became clear once more.
She held the Chenxia Spear, barely supporting her body, and took out an illusion-breaking talisman to apply to herself. Then she looked around until she saw the Faceless Divine Statue and Storage Ring not far away, and finally, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, it was truly over.
She stood up tremblingly, circulated her Mana, and drew the Faceless Divine Statue and Storage Ring over from a distance.
To be safe, she didn't immediately open the Storage Ring but used her Mana to temporarily seal the two items, and then sat down again and took out an elixir to silently heal her wounds.
The battles of others were still ongoing, and Xi Ying's heart wished she could help Yuan Ming, but considering her current difficulty in even moving, rashly intervening in others' battles would only be a burden.
"You must win..."
Xi Ying pursed her lips, and while healing, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Yuan Ming's battle with Xue Li for a moment.
...
When the battle between Xi Ying and Wuyue God reached a pause, Wulu found himself embroiled in a bitter fight.
Even though he had obtained combat power comparable to the Returning Void stage through the Void Thought Technique, his actual cultivation was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul. In contrast, Blood Demon Ancestor was a genuine middle-stage Returning Void existence. Once the Blood Demon Ancestor had figured out Wulu's capabilities, they engaged in close combat, naturally resulting in Wulu being utterly at a disadvantage.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor was hovering mid-air, clad in blood-colored armor, enveloped in a blood light stretching for ten thousand feet, dyeing everything in its vicinity a deep red. At his side, a blood-red long saber continuously circled around, emitting ominous humming sounds.
However, Wulu's figure was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield, and though the Blood Demon Ancestor's Divine Sense tirelessly scanned the surroundings, he could not detect Wulu's presence.
It was as if Wulu had already left the area, leaving the Blood Demon Ancestor alone, full of doubts and suspicions.
But the Blood Demon Ancestor was not the least bit negligent, nor did he entertain any thought of withdrawing to assist others.
In the previous battle, Wulu had more than once utilized the Stone Talisman to become invisible and launch sneak attacks. The Blood Demon Ancestor was convinced that Wulu was also hiding somewhere at that moment, waiting for him to reveal a weakness.
And just as he expected, not far above his head to the left, Wulu was holding his breath and focusing his mind, relying on the power of the Stone Talisman to conceal his form, silently looking for an opening in the Protective Spiritual Light of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
His eyes flickered with spirit light, sometimes deep blue like the ocean, sometimes blood-red like fresh blood, with the colors of the light constantly changing, ultimately fusing into an ordinary white glow. This chapter was made possible by the community at *.
In his early years, as a covert operative, he had cultivated numerous Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques from various Sects, so many that even he himself could not remember them all.
Each of these secret techniques had its focus, and depending on the battle situation, they could exhibit different effects.
However, when it really came to fighting, Wulu did not have the luxury to discern which secret technique would provide the desired effect; he could only roughly choose the most powerful one to use.
But through the Void Thought Technique, Wulu was now able to simultaneously use all the secret techniques he had mastered. He did not need to worry about conflicts arising from mixing Mana, and the power was stronger than using a single detection secret technique alone.
He had named this method the Insight Technique. With this technique, he had even gained an observation capacity not inferior to the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique, allowing him to roughly discern the flowing patterns of spiritual energy and the flaws within.
Under his gaze, within the blood light protecting the Blood Demon Ancestor, faint white spots quickly appeared, moving and shifting locations.
The movements of the light spots were rapid, but Wulu keenly noticed their pattern of change.
And when the light spots shifted to a position right above the Blood Demon Ancestor's head, Wulu suddenly made his move. He struck downwards with both palms, and the phantom of a ferocious tiger appeared behind him, roaring loudly. It lifted its front paw and swiped towards the Blood Demon Ancestor.
The moment Wulu acted, the invisibility effect of the Stone Talisman vanished, and the Blood Demon Ancestor instantly became aware of Wulu's presence. Seeing the attack coming, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The Blood Demon Ancestor simply pointed a finger, and the hovering Blood Transformation Divine Saber suddenly flew out, cleaving towards the tiger's claw.
The tide-like blood light instantly engulfed the tiger's claw, but in the next moment, the blood light suddenly exploded, and from it emerged swathes of red flames, completely obscuring the Blood Demon Ancestor's vision.
The flames seemed to be burning fiercely, but their temperature was not high. The vitality that radiated from them gave off an illusion of Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy.
A glint of cold light flashed in the Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes. He clapped his hands together with force, causing the Blood Transformation Divine Saber to shudder violently and slice out again. The blade radiated light like water, and without even getting close, the pressure from the air extinguished the red flames.
At this moment, Wulu once again became invisible with the aid of the Stone Talisman, disappearing into thin air. The saber light passed through, hitting nothing.
The Blood Demon Ancestor frowned slightly, seemingly sensing that Wulu could not have gone too far even though he was invisible. He quickly formed a spell with his hands, and the Blood Transformation Divine Saber repeatedly slashed out. The dense net of blood-colored saber light drowned everything before him.
Suddenly, behind the Blood Demon Ancestor, Wulu, whose eyes contained spirit light, reappeared once more, with only a few steps between them.
He had already figured out the pattern of the Blood Demon Ancestor's Protective Spiritual Light. The initial attack had been a feint, and now was the moment for his real killer move.
Wulu did not hesitate, nor did he have any more concerns. The instant he became visible, he threw a punch towards the Blood Demon Ancestor's back.
The Blood Demon Ancestor's head suddenly twisted around, bizarrely turning his face to his back.
"Did you think I was unaware of what you were planning?" he sneered coldly, his limbs bending unnaturally so that he faced Wulu without turning his body around.
And his back, or what could now be considered his "chest," suddenly split open, releasing countless meat balls the size of thumbs, which all shot towards Wulu.
Simultaneously, in Wulu's eyes, the two white spots on the Blood Demon Ancestor's blood light that had indicated vulnerabilities vanished completely. He no longer had any chance of making a hit.
At the same time, he heard the frenzied shriek of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber. The previously aimed blade light at the empty space had abruptly twisted in mid-air, sliding past the Blood Demon Ancestor's side, closing off any space Wulu had to dodge.
Clearly, from the beginning, this had all been a trap!
