Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091: The Spirit of the Dog God
After a fierce battle, Ye Luo could feel the immense strength that Fang Yan now possessed.
The power of the Seven Layers of the Hua Yuan Realm, coupled with the terrifying demonic weapon Quan Shen, allowed Fang Yan’s combat ability to exceed what a Hua Yuan Realm expert could unleash. Even when using brute strength, he might not be at a disadvantage against a master of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Without hesitation, Ye Luo opened the first three Gates of the Eight Gates of Universe and went full throttle, wielding the Lingyun Sword to execute the Lingyun Sword Technique in the fierce battle against Fang Yan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In this mountain ravine, an extremely intense collision of battle unfolded, where two mortal enemies each brandished their Divine Weapons, displaying terrifying combat strength.
Dust and stones flew as powerful energies crisscrossed!
Every sword, every blade swung with earth-shattering force.
"Lingyun Sword Technique!"
Ye Luo unleashed the first three moves of the Lingyun Sword Technique.
"Sword like Swift Wind!"
"Sword Sweeps All Directions!"
"One Sword to Sever Heaven!"
All three moves were executed simultaneously, filling the sky with the Lingyun Sword’s blade light, and a chilling aura of slaughter permeated the void.
"Demonic Spirit Boundless!"
Fang Yan, holding the demonic weapon Quan Shen, coldly shouted as he unleashed an endless stream of evil energy from the weapon. This energy coalesced into demonic spirits that clashed with Ye Luo’s sword light.
A series of explosions resounded, and the entire void was filled with ripples of energy.
Blasts of energy backlash surged forth, causing both Ye Luo and Fang Yan to stagger backward repeatedly.
"Your strength has increased rather quickly!"
Fang Yan’s face twisted fiercely, looking at Ye Luo with bloodthirsty and terrifying eyes.
"As has yours!" Ye Luo responded with a cold laugh.
"But today since you’ve appeared, you’re destined to die here."
Fang Yan’s voice was bone-chilling, filled with a terrifying intent to kill.
"Heaven-Devouring Quan Shen!"
Suddenly, Fang Yan, with a solemn expression, bellowed as he swung the demonic weapon Quan Shen into the void, forming hand seals. Waves of a grey, murky aura flowed into the weapon from his body.
Boom!
The demonic weapon shone brilliantly, the evil energy soaring to the sky, quickly filling the sky with a grey demonic mist.
"Spirit of the Quan Shen, condense for me!"
Fang Yan fiercely spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which merged into the Quan Shen, causing a surge of blood light within the weapon. A spine-chilling and trembling evil aura spread forth, as if some demonic being had been awakened. An even denser evil energy was released from the Quan Shen, and after absorbing Fang Yan’s essence blood, it seemed as though the weapon had come to life.
Even Ye Luo, sensing the energy released by the Quan Shen, had his expression change slightly, a sense of crisis looming in his heart.
Boom!
Something seemed to break within the demonic weapon Quan Shen; immediately afterward, a three-headed black dog burst forth.
It had a hideous and ugly visage that could give anyone nightmare; it buzzed with boundless demonic energy, as though a demon had come to life.
Now, the vile energy from the surroundings frenziedly infused into the body of the three-headed dog, making it grow incredibly large and solid.
Fang Yan, with a sweep of his hand, continued to pump blood arrows into the demon, making the black three-headed dog grow even larger and more lifelike, as if it truly existed, emanating boundless evil energy.
"The spirit of this evil weapon can actually detach itself from the weapon itself—could it be evolving into an Imperial Weapon?"
At this moment, a voice of amazement thundered from within the Lingyun Sword.
"What does that mean?"
Ye Luo looked startled.
"Master, I’ve told you before, above magical weapons are Imperial Weapons, and only when becoming an Imperial Weapon can its Artifact Spirit detach from the weapon itself. And this three-headed dog is the Artifact Spirit of this evil canine weapon."
Xiao Ling spoke.
"What? Doesn’t that mean this evil weapon has already transformed into an Imperial Weapon?"
Ye Luo exclaimed.
"Not yet, this Artifact Spirit has merely detached from the weapon itself temporarily through some technique. However, the fact that it can do so proves that the evil weapon is already transforming towards an Imperial Weapon. Once it becomes a true Imperial Weapon, its strength will increase by hundreds of times. By then, with just a light move, you, master, would be obliterated, unable to resist."
Xiao Ling declared solemnly.
"That’s incredible!"
A sharp light flickered in Ye Luo’s eyes.
"However, Master, you must be careful. The Artifact Spirit’s detached attack is extremely powerful. You’d better use the Buddhist Nine Character Mantra you acquired from the relic to counter it. Buddhist cultivation techniques are the most effective at restraining evil entities."
Xiao Ling explained.
"Understood!"
Ye Luo nodded.
"Die!"
At this moment, Fang Yan’s face was pale, as he pointed at Ye Luo and bellowed furiously.
The black three-headed dog in the void let out a malevolent howl, its colossal form charging towards Ye Luo with boundless evil energy, forming an enormous maw as if to completely devour him.
Under the enveloping malevolence of the evil weapon’s canine Artifact Spirit, Ye Luo felt the negative emotions in his body erupt, causing his mind to begin to disarray.
For a moment, Ye Luo’s expression kept changing, becoming somewhat ferocious and twisted.
"Master, use the Nine Character Mantra immediately!"
Xiao Ling urgently cried.
"Nine Character Mantra!"
Ye Luo abruptly executed the Nine Character Mantra. A Buddhist light burst forth from his body, golden radiance ascending to the heavens, instantly dispelling all the malevolent energy.
As the Buddhist aura surged out, the black three-headed dog’s momentum was suppressed, even beginning to retreat.
Lin—
Ye Luo waved his hands swiftly, forming the first character of the Nine Character Mantra, Lin, as easily as plucking flowers or pinching leaves.
The Lin character coalesced, and a glistening golden palm imprint formed in the void, radiating a vast and sacred Buddhist majesty. The evil energies all vanished under the suppression of this Buddhist aura, and the evil weapon’s canine deity trembled violently.
"Extinguish!"
Ye Luo uttered resolutely, his hands waving, as the golden palm imprint formed by the Lin character pressed down on the three-headed dog, the immense Buddhist palm blotting out the sky and erasing all the evil energy with rolling Buddhist power.
Boom!
At this moment, the canine deity of the evil weapon seemed to sense a crisis too, continuously pouring a thick evil energy into the three-headed dog to confront the terrifying Buddhist palm.
The heavens and earth seemed to collapse, with the golden light and gray light interwoven together, bursting skyward, spreading out in all directions, and a terrifying wave of energy dispersed with a destructive aura.
Ye Luo was sent flying, spewing out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.
Fang Yan was similarly blasted away, his complexion even whiter, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Now, as these two fought, their terrifying sight drew the attention of many strong figures within the Heng Mountain range, who hurried over towards this scene.
