A lake spread out around the ancient tree, with a distant cliff and a cascading waterfall converging here.
"This flower should be the Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower. It can be used for alchemy and dicine, and can greatly enhance a cultivator’s divine sense!"
Bu Tianzhi stared at the seven-colored blossom ahead, secretly musing to himself.
Splash—
But just as Bu Tianzhi stepped within a hundred paces of the ancient tree, a sound of water breaking rang out.
All of a sudden, not far from Bu Tianzhi, a massive Silver Python lunged at him with its blood-red maw wide open.
"Die!"
Bu Tianzhi reacted nimbly, instantly striking out with a palm. The forceful palm seal landed atop the giant python’s head, shaking it backward.
However, it didn’t hurt the python in the slightest.
"Sure enough, wherever there’s spirit dicine, a demon beast guards it! I’ll kill you first, then!"
Bu Tianzhi shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand summoned his magical treasure, the Spirit Slayer Sword, slashing Sword Aura after Sword Aura straight toward the Silver Python.
Clang, clang, clang—
The Silver Python’s entire body was like iron, impervious to blades and spears. The Sword Auras hacked at its hide without leaving a mark, each blow deflected with ease.
"Tier Eight Demon Beast?"
Bu Tianzhi was caught off guard, not expecting the demon beast guarding the spirit dicine to have such terrifying cultivation!
Tier Eight Demon Beasts were enough to rival the Golden Core Middle Stage Realm.
Ordinary cultivators would stand no chance against it.
Fortunately, Bu Tianzhi had just gained seventy years of cultivation, breaking through to Golden Core Middle Stage. Coupled with a trump card his master gave him, it wouldn’t be difficult to slay this beast.
Hiss—
The next instant, before Bu Tianzhi could launch another attack, the silver giant python struck first.
It spewed a torrent of deadly venom straight toward where Bu Tianzhi stood.
Bu Tianzhi knew the poison was no joke and imdiately leapt back to retreat.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
The spot where Bu Tianzhi had just stood was doused in venom, sending up dense vapor as it touched the lake’s surface.
Clearly, the corrosiveness of this poison was frighteningly strong.
Even a touch would turn flesh to nothing but blood and water.
"Did it flee?"
When the mist cleared, Bu Tianzhi found the giant python’s shadow had vanished, and thought it had run away.
But in the very next heartbeat, an enormous shadow silently rose up behind Bu Tianzhi.
The python’s trunk was thicker than Bu Tianzhi’s body; swallowing a grown man whole would be nothing to it.
Drip—
Bu Tianzhi heard water behind him and instantly sensed danger.
But it was already too late to escape.
The giant python coiled around in a flash, tightly ensnaring Bu Tianzhi.
The python’s coils tightened, bones creaking and cracking as if they could snap at any mont.
"Heaven and earth, yin and yang; Dao reigns supre! Divine Buddhas aid —out of Samsara I remain!"
Bu Tianzhi muttered under his breath.
In the next instant, golden light burst from his body, his physical strength skyrocketed, surging instantly to Golden Core Late Stage.
This technique was the Yin Yang Hall’s inner sect Body Strengthening Technique, called Yin Yang Body Shaping Technique, a skill most disciples had no chance to study.
But as the first genius of Yin Yang Hall, Bu Tianzhi was naturally qualified to learn it.
He’d already cultivated it to Great Success. When triggered, it could instantly elevate one’s body to a higher tier.
If cultivated to Perfection, it could leap two tiers at once.
This cultivation technique might be suprely strong to others.
But to Lin Chang’sheng, it was nothing.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng’s Dragon God Golden Body Saint Body, fused with many secret techniques, could erupt upwards by several realms—sotis even an entire Great Realm.
Once Bu Tianzhi channeled the Yin Yang Body Shaping Technique, his strength soared, and he broke free from the python’s crushing coils.
He slashed the python across the belly, disemboweling it in one swift motion. Blood stained the entire pool scarlet.
The Silver Python collapsed amidst a final, unwilling shriek.
"So, its weakness was the underbelly?"
Bu Tianzhi was a bit surprised.
If the python’s stomach had been as tough as the rest, slaying it wouldn’t have been easy.
With the beast dead, Bu Tianzhi strode toward the Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower, intent on claiming it for himself.
With the boost from these flowers, his divine sense could double in size.
He might even have a chance to forge a Flawless Nascent Soul.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Just as Bu Tianzhi reached out to pluck the Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower—
Fiery flaming arrows zipped through the air from afar.
Nine arrows, fired from cunning angles, ca for Bu Tianzhi, leaving him nowhere to dodge.
"Break!"
Faced with an unavoidable attack, Bu Tianzhi swung his sword, cutting forth a Sword Aura to intercept the charging arrows.
He thought the Sword Aura would shatter all the arrows.
But the result left him utterly shocked.
These arrows altered their paths in mid-air, curving around the Sword Aura.
"How...how is that possible...?"
Bu Tianzhi was stunned. Arrows changing their attack path mid-flight?
This was a first for Bu Tianzhi.
It was already too late for more defense now.
He could only withstand several arrows head-on with the Yin Yang Body Shaping Technique.
Boom, boom, boom—
Flaming, poisonous arrows exploded against Bu Tianzhi, unleashing shuddering blasts.
When the thunderous noise ceased, his whole body was a bloody, mangled ss.
Not an inch of him was unscathed.
The Yin Yang Body Shaping Technique he prided himself on turned out to be worthless before the onslaught of the fiery fla arrows.
"Ever heard of first co, first served?"
Lin Chang’sheng strode forward, Sky-shining Fla Bow in hand.
He’d expected a prodigy able to enter the Sixth Layer Space to be formidable.
But it turned out after a few arrows, the guy was left half dead. He probably wouldn’t even have to strike again—the poison on the arrows alone would be enough to kill Bu Tianzhi.
"You?"
Seeing Lin Chang’sheng, Bu Tianzhi suddenly recalled his master’s warnings.
He reached behind him, trying to summon the treasure his master gifted him.
This treasure could kill Lin Chang’sheng outright.
"That’s right! Relax, and hit the road!"
Lin Chang’sheng drew his bow again, notching a toxic fla arrow.
"Killing won’t be so easy. Die!"
Bu Tianzhi roared madly, waving his hand as a Talisman Treasure soared into the air, bursting with dazzling light, forming a giant red canopy net that swept down toward Lin Chang’sheng.
Lin Chang’sheng sensed the threat from the net and instantly used the Heaven’s Edge and Sea’s Corner Light Body Technique, trying to escape its coverage.
But the net was vast beyond asure; even after darting hundreds of yards, Lin Chang’sheng was still covered beneath its shadow.
He remained trapped within the net’s reach.
Boom—
The net descended, completely enveloping Lin Chang’sheng.
Once on the ground, the net began slowly tightening.
The ancient trees and giant stones it touched turned instantly to dust.
The power of this net was obvious to see.
"So it’s the poison from Taiyin Island?"
Bu Tianzhi didn’t waste ti checking on Lin Chang’sheng. Instead, he noticed the poison still invading his own flesh.
His body was already growing numb.
"Withdraw the Grand Array, and maybe I’ll spare your life?"
Lin Chang’sheng looked at Bu Tianzhi and said.
He hadn’t imagined his opponent would have such a powerful Grand Array talisman treasure on hand.
No doubt it was prepared specifically for him.
He realized he’d been careless.
"Lin Chang’sheng, you really underestimate . Think the poison from Taiyin can stop ? Then what was the point of all my years in the Demon Evil Sea?"
Bu Tianzhi had no intention of dispelling the array. He rummaged in his storage bag.
Finally, he found a white jar filled with red liquid.
Bu Tianzhi gulped it all down at once.
Soon after, he sat cross-legged and began refining the poison in his body.
Seeing Bu Tianzhi wasn’t dispensing with the array, Lin Chang’sheng had to look for another way to break the array.
"Break for !"
Lin Chang’sheng summoned his Spirit Treasure, slashing out to try blasting the array apart.
But even under the heavy impact, the array remained unmoved.
Clearly, brute force alone couldn’t break this Grand Array.
The array kept shrinking, reeling in from a thousand yards to just five hundred, turning all it touched to dust.
Once it shrank all the way to Lin Chang’sheng’s position, he’d be dood.
In the span of three breaths, Bu Tianzhi had already refined all the red dicinal power he’d ingested.
The poison in his body faded a little.
"Let’s see how you escape today! So what if you completed all seventy-two steps of the Refining God Ladder? You’ll die by my hand all the sa!"
Bu Tianzhi gloated, as if killing Lin Chang’sheng would bring him ultimate satisfaction.
"Am I really going to die here?"
Lin Chang’sheng was unwilling. Was he about to perish here just because of a careless mistake?
Evidently, on the path of cultivation immortality, not even a mont’s carelessness is allowed.
With one lapse, you could be dood in a gutter.
Buzz—
But as the God-Trapping and Immortal-Slaying Array was about to contract around Lin Chang’sheng—
A golden radiance suddenly flared from the center of Lin Chang’sheng’s brow.
The light, originally the size of a fingernail, rapidly grew, evolving into the phantom of a Divine Hall.
"T-T-The Void Divine Hall?"
When Bu Tianzhi saw the phantom, he was shocked to his core.
Why would the Void Divine Hall’s apparition appear from within Lin Chang’sheng?
