But if one were to confront an enemy.
This Swallowing Dao Scroll is already enough to threaten most Yang God cultivators!
Without any warning, the Tao Realm twisted abruptly.
Directly causing Luo Lie to fall from the "Yang God Realm", unable to activate the Path of Destruction in the instant of blade drawing!
It’s just that.
Although the divine power is strong, it also has limitations.
Xie Xuanyi is, after all, attacking from below; this Swallowing Dao Scroll, when first unleashed, can achieve miraculous effects. Previously, during his rapid assault in the Inner Court, he was able to easily cleave through Sword Aura, but upon the second activation, close range and sudden, Luo Lie was clearly prepared, making the Tao Realm twisting difficult, and the latter had already prepared a fallback similar to the Divine Embryo Technique.
Each subsequent use of the Swallowing Dao Scroll will beco more difficult and its effect worse.
All this happens extrely quickly.
From the mont Xie Xuanyi starts running to suppressing Luo Lie, it only takes a single breath.
Just as a golden light erged from Xie Xuanyi’s brow, preparing to summon the Sword Qi Cave Heaven...
The shadow entering the Inner Court suddenly moved.
This Yang God Realm puppet, whose level is clearly inferior, possesses extrely high Spirit Wisdom. After stepping into the Iron Curtain Domain, it has been constantly on guard against Xie Xuanyi launching a sudden attack. At this mont, seeing Master Luo fall into peril, it steps forward imdiately, wielding long and short blades, sweeping towards Xie Xuanyi’s heart like flowing water.
"Scram!"
Xie Xuanyi did not look back; before the wind was raised, his Divine Thought sensed the shadow’s action.
The young Sword Immortal in black coldly uttered a word.
The golden divine fetus turned around and hurled a heavy punch.
The shadow, sweeping the ground, was stopped by the divine fetus’s punch to its waist, instantly thrown out, looking exceedingly miserable and battered, but in the void, countless black threads grew instantly, stopping it mid-air, and a huge web ford, enveloping him.
He was never the sort to engage in frontal duels, nor did he fear the strong offensive ans of powerful attacks.
The next mont.
The shadow collided like a cannonball, faster than before!
The divine fetus punched again.
The shadow returned after withdrawing.
Only after two strikes did Xie Xuanyi understand the uniqueness of the shadow... This Yang God Realm puppet is a thod devised by Nalan Xuance specifically within the [Iron Curtain] domain. Since chanical Techniques are Lower Nine Stream Techniques, no matter how much effort is spent, a constructed puppet can never compare to a real cultivator.
Therefore.
Nalan Xuance doesn’t care about the quality of the shadow.
If he can create a puppet with the "Martial Arts Saint Body," the Da Li National Master would be very satisfied.
The second thing he did... was inject a large amount of Taoist Intent into this puppet body, perfectly fusing it with the Xuanwei Technique.
The existence of the shadow is not ant to defeat Yang God Realm cultivators; indeed, it’s fair to say that all Yang God Realm cultivators in the world are stronger than the shadow.
Even those pseudo-saints of half-step Yang God Realm.
Can exchange a few moves with the shadow.
But...
Even for a Great Practitioner like Luo Lie at this level, trying to kill the shadow within the [Iron Curtain] domain is extrely difficult.
The Iron Curtain Domain covering the Inner Court spans roughly a hundred feet radius. Within this range, there are at least tens of millions of black soul lines hanging down. Although Nalan Xuance is a thousand miles away, the dense soul lines he left behind, each and every one is connected to the shadow.
As long as the soul lines remain, the shadow won’t perish.
This is what makes the shadow so frustrating and tricky.
Attempting to annihilate its flesh body in one blow is nearly impossible.
Unless Zhao Chunyang, a peak cultivator at that level, strikes, erasing the sacred body shell entirely in one blow.
Otherwise.
You can only break through the [Iron Curtain] domain, sever all soul lines, to temporarily kill the shadow!
"Devouring... Soul!"
Just two charges.
Were enough to give Xie Xuanyi quite a headache.
He frowned slightly, unleashed the third Primordial Swallowing Divine Power.
This ti, the Divine Embryo Seal faced the shadow head-on, blasting towards its brow; perhaps sensing that this strike was not purely brute force, or perhaps preemptively perceiving danger... the shadow did not receive the attack like before but instead temporarily changed its route, abruptly lowered its body, aid a lethal stab at Xie Xuanyi’s true body’s back.
"Great Li chanism Technique... far more refined than the Corpse Refining Technique of Heavenly Puppet Sect..."
This single change in move caused Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake to sink.
He had previously played against Mo Taoist and Daoist Bai.
The corpse puppets crafted by these two pseudo-saints, although abundant in number, are completely outmatched by the shadow in terms of realm.
Even if Mo Taoist and Daoist Bai were given a complete Promotion Stele for advancing to Yang God, they could not be Nalan Xuance’s opponents. The shadow not only possesses the Martial Arts Saint Body but also has high combat intelligence, knows how to change formations, evade attacks, and greatly limit its opponent—
It is simply a perfect material for raiding formations.
Even in Yang God confrontations, it’s extrely useful!
Swoosh!
The shadow suddenly shifted formations, its body ethereal as a butterfly, the divine fetus plumted downward again, blocking its front once more.
With a thought, Xie Xuanyi positioned the Martial Arts Divine Embryo across his back, extending a hand once again... but this ti he offered the "shadow" a rather tempting sight.
The divine fetus extended its palm, pressing toward the shadow’s brow.
Ignoring the blade montum of the long and short blades entirely.
This is...
An exchange of injuries!
For the Shadow, this was almost the scene they most wanted to see.
With the support of the Iron Curtain and countless soul lines pulling, he didn’t care about a singular hit... but the damage to the divine embryo required consuming a large amount of vitality and primordial energy for repair.
This Yang God Puppet which just entered the Great Domain hadn’t seen the previous confrontations between Luo Lie and Xie Xuanyi, and hesitated only for a mont before making a decision.
The long and short blades cut down like flowing water, slicing off one arm of the Martial Arts Divine Embryo!
Xie Xuanyi paid the price of a severed divine embryo arm to fully unleash the divine skill.
"Devour... Soul!"
Golden divine embryo’s eyes burst with killing intent.
The other hand smoothly pressed against the Shadow’s brow.
A loud boom.
Smoothly executed.
This hit directly knocked the Shadow back a hundred ters, with countless soul lines trying to imitate the previous scene, forming a soul net in the void to catch the puppet and complete the repair... but Xie Xuanyi’s "Soul Devouring Divine Power" temporarily shattered the Shadow’s divine sea.
Those soul lines shattered upon touch.
Apart from this.
This palm also carried Xie Xuanyi’s Path of Destruction intent.
Ultimately, the Shadow was knocked out of the inner court, crashing through the Iron Curtain domain.
Xie Xuanyi’s heart lake wasn’t at ease.
Though they temporarily resolved a troubleso existence, the Shadow’s goal was already achieved.
Xie Xuanyi’s use of three consecutive divine skills, creating the perfect opportunity, was dragged away by the Shadow...
In these three or four monts of exchange between the divine embryo and the Shadow.
Luo Lie had already completed his adjustnts.
The Swallowing Dao Scroll couldn’t retain the perfected Path of Destruction intent.
That piercing coldness swept again, looming oppressively over Xie Xuanyi’s head.
"Truly... youth is to be feared..."
Xie Xuanyi lowered his head, looking down at Luo Lie with a grim expression.
This sect master of the One Slash Sect let out a low sigh.
Ka.
Ka.
The long blade slowly lifted.
His suppression faded at an extrely fast speed.
Luo Lie pressed his hands on the long blade, and after two or three monts, his knees straightened from slightly bent, completely recovering.
He slowly raised his head, spoke hoarsely: "Without the Shadow, perhaps you really had a chance to assassinate successfully."
The battle opportunity was fleeting.
At this mont, Luo Lie had already regained control over this world.
"If you truly decided to exchange injury for injury, you should have been even more ruthless..."
The sect master of One Slash Sect said firmly and expressionlessly: "Only by not fearing death can one truly live."
"Is it so?"
Xie Xuanyi was silent for a mont, and said faintly: "It seems I should have used the Lifebound Flying Sword earlier, directly to attack Sect Master Luo..."
Upon these words.
Luo Lie paused slightly.
Lifebound Flying Sword?
He suddenly realized sothing, earlier Xie Xuanyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword, after being repelled by "Great Annihilation," had been suspended in the sky, never to appear again.
Wait.
It didn’t not appear.
But in... the prior confrontation, his whole divine thought had been attracted by Xie Xuanyi’s two divine skills, completely neglecting the flying sword’s movents.
He abruptly moved his gaze behind him.
Only to see beneath the inner court tree, where a human-shaped cocoon, wrapped and entangled in countless dark soul lines.
At so point, a golden flying sword was inserted.
When ordinary flying swords fall on the cocoon, they are imdiately repelled.
But [Chen Ke] doesn’t...
The tip of the flying sword, re steps away from condensing the overwhelming Path of Destruction intent, cascaded down like a waterfall, spreading, covering!
Ka-ka-ka-ka.
The Iron Curtain encasing the inner court now echoed with the dense sound of breaking.
A wisp of white lightning.
Seeped out through the cracks of the shattered cocoon!
