Chapter 622: Laws of Heaven and Earth! Powerful Restrictions! Completing the Self to Attain Flawlessness! Professional Spell Combat!
The beautiful woman had reached the Yang Spirit realm, possessing a thousand years’ worth of magical power. Yet she had never known that the Fox Immortal Lady Shrine had two other masters. This scene was extremely bizarre and absurd, yet it had truly happened.
At her current realm, she had already developed her own understanding of heaven and earth, and faintly sensed that something was wrong. However, because of certain extremely powerful restrictions, she was unable to become aware of those other existences.
As her cultivation continued to rise, the beautiful woman discovered in sorrow that she was not the original body. She was not even... complete!
This realization filled her with deep terror and confusion. The things she had always taken for granted had persisted for a thousand years. Yet the countless memories in her mind were all false, or rather, incomplete.
For a Yang Spirit cultivator, this feeling was utterly horrifying!
She had inherited most of that Land Immortal’s abilities, including orthodox Daoist techniques. Thus, she also possessed the deepest understanding of the method of the Three Corpses Severing Art.
She wanted to complete her own body. But within her primordial spirit was an immensely powerful restriction that caused her to unconsciously forget this matter time and time again. This restriction was extraordinarily strong, strong enough to imprison the thoughts and memories of even a Yang Spirit powerhouse.
Never knowing of the other’s existence, this was the rule of the Three Corpses Severing Art.
Although the beautiful woman cultivated to a high realm, her cultivation was never able to advance another step. At times, when a moment of resonance between heaven and man occurred and she suddenly remembered something, the fear only deepened.
She attempted to complete herself. But she had never expected that the restrictive technique would cause her to overlook it entirely.
All this time, the other two Lady Hus had been peacefully coexisting with her in the Fox Immortal Lady Shrine. It could truly be described as being blind to what was right under one’s nose.
This time, she had finally succeeded in breaking through the restriction and, in one go, seized the other two streams of consciousness.
Completing herself would allow her to attain the Flawless Realm! The beautiful woman was brimming with pride and satisfaction. Compared to a mere increase in realm, what she wanted even more was to complete herself and recover her true self.
She had never expected, however, that this young Daoist who appeared out of nowhere would be so domineering. Not only did he walk the path of Martial Dao Immortal, a road of slaughter and conquest, but he also possessed so many magic treasures that it was genuinely frightening.
The beautiful woman employed a supreme escape technique, streaking across the heavens.
That young Daoist’s invisibility divine power was able to evade even her perception; it was truly astonishing!
It made her suspect that he must have obtained an immensely powerful magic treasure. Otherwise, given his age, how could he possibly have cultivated an invisibility technique to such a level?
Her thoughts raced as her figure continued to dart through the sky! She was well-versed in the Heavenly Fox secret techniques, and the movement techniques used for travel and escape were exceptionally fast.
Yet earlier, she had already felt a hint of doubt, why was that young Daoist’s flying technique also so fast?!
Whoosh!
As she was thinking, a saber light slashed down. The single saber cleaved tube heaven and earth.
The beautiful woman felt an enormous pressure and immediately revealed her true form. She was a white fox more than ten zhang in size. However, the white fox’s body was riddled with wounds, and blood flowed freely; she looked rather battered.
After revealing her true form, her speed increased by several degrees. Moreover, with each breath she took, two streams of white qi rose up, and the wounds on her body actually showed signs of healing.
“What in the world is this saber?!” The beautiful woman looked at the wounds on her body that split open again almost instantly and couldn’t help but curse. It actually possessed such an utterly unreasonable ability to suppress recovery from injuries!
Whoosh!
She split into thousands upon thousands of white foxes, scattering in all directions to flee. Several thousand streaks of light spread across the sky, dazzling and impossible to discern.
Relying on this illusion technique, she once again broke free and shook off Li Yanchu, who was pursuing her with the Heaven-Earth Demonbane Godshuttle.
At this moment, killing intent blazed in Li Yanchu’s eyes. With the Golden Rosy Crown and the Heaven-Earth Demonbane Godshuttle, he was able, at the Yin Spirit realm, to hunt down a third-realm beautiful woman.
But if he allowed her to escape today, it would likely be extremely difficult to capture her again in the future.
He activated the Dao Dust Bead on his body, and a prayer was made.
“Five-Lightning Pure Yang, the True Law of Heaven and Earth, kill!” Li Yanchu’s voice boomed like a thunderclap.
Rumble!
Heavenly thunder struck, and the pure yang lightning arts instantly blasted down upon the beautiful woman.
Her body was scorched black, flesh torn open and split apart. The supremely rigid, supremely yang lightning continuously destroyed the life force within her body, grinding away at the demonic qi inside her.
Only a third-realm demon king like this beautiful woman could withstand it. Otherwise, a single strike from the Five-Lightning Spell would have already reduced one to ashes, soul scattered.
And the Five-Lightning Talisman just so happened to strike the beautiful woman right as she was using the Heavenly Fox secret technique to flee.
The hit rate was outrageously high.
The beautiful woman was shocked. I’m flying so fast, and still I’m getting struck by lightning?
Li Yanchu removed the Golden Rosy Crown, revealing his figure. This was the power of a Five-Lightning Talisman that had been enhanced six times.
“Your lightning art is exquisite, but unfortunately its power is insufficient. It can’t truly injure me,” the beautiful woman said solemnly. “Fellow Daoist, do you really intend to wipe everything out?”
This young Daoist’s killing intent was far too heavy, and yet his methods were terrifyingly formidable. He was truly a headache.
“Demons that harm people deserve death without exception!” Li Yanchu’s expression was icy cold.
The beautiful woman knew she couldn’t evade this young Daoist whose speed even surpassed her own. So she simply stopped fleeing. Instead, she mobilized the power within her body!
Crackle! Pop!
Faint explosive sounds rang out from her body as her magical power boiled violently, her aura climbing higher and higher by the moment. She intended to forcibly refine the other two consciousnesses within her, pushing her state to its absolute peak.
Li Yanchu chose to continue enhancing.
The seventh enhancement consumed seven thousand merit points; the eighth enhancement consumed eight thousand merit points, while the ninth enhancement consumed nine thousand merit points.
The Five-Lightning Talisman now carried a heavy, domineering aura of pure yang lightning, flashing with white light so brilliant that one dared not look at it directly.
That earlier Five-Lightning Talisman enhanced with two hundred thousand merit points still had yet to recover.
Sensing that tyrannical lightning aura, a trace of fear surfaced in the beautiful woman’s eyes.
“So terrifying a lightning aura... Why is the Five-Lightning Pure Yang aura on this Daoist so overwhelmingly strong?!”
Two additional tails suddenly emerged from her back. Three tails whipped in unison, like three jade pillars holding up the heavens, smashing heavily toward Li Yanchu. Though her body was only a bit over ten zhang in size, those tails were frighteningly enormous.
Li Yanchu’s muscles bulged and knotted as vast, surging blood qi manifested into an incomparably grand vision. A crimson glow blanketed the heavens and earth, and above his body blazed a roaring sun!
Dense, vigorous life essence filled the entire region.
Boom!
He slashed out with a single saber. His hand raised, and the saber fell the next moment. The surging blood qi collided head-on with the three tails.
The three tails that the beautiful woman had hastily condensed were severed by Li Yanchu’s single strike. Her aura plummeted like falling off a cliff!
“With such paltry cultivation, you still dare run wild before me,” Li Yanchu sneered coldly.
The beautiful woman glanced at him, unwillingness, shock, and hatred all flickering across her face.
The Heavenly Fox secret technique was anything but ordinary; it had once produced a Land Immortal. It was an exceedingly powerful legacy.
Boom!
A divine ability from the Heavenly Fox secret technique actually ignored the talismanic armor’s defenses and slammed heavily into Li Yanchu. Yet Li Yanchu remained utterly unmoved, continuing to enhance that brand-new Five-Lightning Talisman. This enhancement broke past the extreme limit of nine, consuming one hundred thousand merit points.
A new Five-Lightning Talisman appeared. The runes upon it flickered with lightning, its aura tyrannical and overbearing.
The beautiful woman, having suffered repeated heavy blows and unable to recover from her injuries, had already lost any desire to continue the fight. She was just about to activate a divine ability to flee.
Rumble!
With a single thought, Li Yanchu activated the hundred-thousand-merit-points enhanced Five-Lightning Talisman.
Boom!
Heavenly thunder struck. A vast expanse of blinding white filled the space between heaven and earth.
The beautiful woman, who had already expended most of her power, was instantly struck until her soul scattered and vanished. Reduced to ashes, her body and spirit were completely extinguished.
+ 100,000 merit points!
A vast, majestic voice of the Great Dao echoed within Li Yanchu’s mind.
This beautiful woman alone had provided him with a full one hundred thousand merit points.
And that was after Li Yanchu had employed powerful magic treasures and severely wounded her at the very start with the Jiaoslayer.
This demon was far stronger than that fellow Jin Yu, Li Yanchu thought, a contemplative look flashing in his eyes.
This demonic being seemed to possess an extremely powerful divine ability lineage.
She likely never imagined, even up to her death, that she would ultimately perish beneath a lightning tribulation, struck until her soul scattered and was annihilated!
Given her realm and cultivation, had she been at her peak, a Five-Lightning Talisman at the hundred-thousand-merit-points level might not necessarily have been enough to kill her outright.
It could only be said that in spell combat, it wasn’t always about absolute strength or realm alone. Heavenly timing, favorable terrain, and human factors all mattered as well.
Spiritual light flickered in Li Yanchu’s eyes as he cast the Spirit Eyes and the Qi Sight, sweeping his gaze over the surroundings.
At the same time, the Eight Trigrams Mirror rose into the air from his hand, probing and standing guard.
This mirror is remarkably resilient... Li Yanchu was mildly surprised.
