Chapter 7376
Yellow Springs
"You dare to speak so arrogantly even when you're about to die!" The Extreme Yin Ancestor was completely enraged. He roared and his figure transformed into a black and red afterimage, rushing towards Xiao Chen with a sky full of yin wind.
The "Yellow Springs" blade in his hand produced a series of extremely shrill sonic booms, like the wailing of ghosts. Wherever the blade passed, faint black trails were left in the air, as if even space itself was being eroded and distorted by this filthy power.
This strike embodies his life's cultivation, his faith in "God," and all the evil power of the thousands of souls within "Yellow Springs." Its momentum far surpasses all previous assessments, enough to make any Celestial Realm expert tremble with fear!
A cold glint cuts through the wind; the blade arrives in an instant!
Xiao Chen did not take the blow head-on. Instead, he used a mysterious footwork technique, his figure shifting backward several feet like a phantom in the wind, just avoiding the point where the blade's power was at its strongest.
However, the black blade energy carried by "Huang Quan Jin" had an extremely wide range, and the aftershocks at its edge still swept across the light blue divine energy shield in front of him.
"Sizzle...!"
A piercing corrosive sound suddenly rang out, and the once indestructible divine energy shield trembled violently. The light at the point of contact with the black blade energy dimmed rapidly, and fine cracks spread out like a spider web!
Of course, the foul blade energy also dissipated inch by inch under the protection of the shield.
Upon seeing this, the Yin Ancestor immediately burst into maniacal laughter: "Haha! Your tortoise shell isn't invincible either! The demon-dispelling power of 'Yellow Spring Pass' is specifically designed to counter your kind of energy shield!"
Xiao Chen lowered his eyes and glanced indifferently at the fluctuating divine energy shield, his tone calm yet icy: "Interesting. This remnant of the Prison Clan was quite powerful in life, but unfortunately, trash like you can't control its power at all... So, you still have to die!"
Before he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard, the ground cracked open, and his figure transformed into a dazzling white light as he took the initiative to meet the attack!
A dazzling white light and a dense black and red blade of light collided violently in the small, enclosed room. The energy shockwave swept across the entire area in an instant, the control panel screen shattered, and sparks flew from the pipes!
Each strike of the obsidian-like "Yellow Springs" was accompanied by the mournful shrieks of a thousand souls, and the foul energy emanating from the blade even left distorted black marks in the air, as if even space itself was being eroded away.
At this moment, the Yin Ancestor had almost merged with the demonic blade, his face was completely distorted and ferocious, the black and red patterns writhing under his skin had spread to his neck, his eyes were now just black pupils, and with each breath he exhaled black turbid gas with the smell of sulfur.
He not only burned his own life essence, but also sacrificed most of his rationality, in exchange for the almost out-of-control violent power at this moment, and his aura rose wildly.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and with a casual wave of his hand, a chilling light extended from his palm, and the ancient Reverse Scale Sword suddenly appeared.
The sword traced cold, sharp lines in the dimly lit chamber, precisely parrying and deflecting every fatal strike.
Each clash of weapons unleashed blinding sparks of energy, accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic clang. Amidst the flying sparks, the sturdy walls and sophisticated instruments of the secret chamber were shattered by the aftershocks of their battle, sending debris and parts flying everywhere.
"Your tortoise shell is going to shatter! Hahaha! Prepare to die!" The Extreme Yin Ancestor laughed even more maniacally, and his attacks became completely chaotic, relying purely on brute force to overwhelm people. Black sword energy crisscrossed and raged, almost turning the entire secret chamber into ruins.
"Your defenses are utterly vulnerable before the true power of 'God'! Kneel down! Offer up your soul, and I can make you nourishment for the 'divine remains,' serving 'God' for eternity and attaining so-called eternity!"
Xiao Chen's lips curled into a disdainful sneer, his movements with the Reverse Scale Sword remaining perfectly steady. He could have won quickly, but he deliberately slowed down... Before completely eliminating his opponent, he wanted to thoroughly study the unique characteristics of this Extreme Yin Ancestor.
He'd seen plenty of scum related to the Prison Clan, but the fact that this Extreme Yin Ancestor could use the Prison Clan's remains to generate such bizarre power was quite remarkable. "Ding! Ding! Sizzle...!"
The sounds of metal clashing and energy penetrating rang out in rapid succession.
Xiao Chen's attacks seemed light and casual, but each one landed precisely on the point where "Huang Quan Jin" exerted its power, causing the Extreme Yin Ancestor to feel abnormal tremors coming from the blade and the violently flowing energy in his body to suddenly stagnate.
The force was like precise needles, repeatedly piercing the weakest point in his chaotic and violent power system.
"Annoying flies!" The Yin Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot, and his roar shook the secret chamber, causing debris to fall everywhere. He slammed "Yellow Spring Fuse" into the ground, the blade sinking more than halfway in, stirring up a circle of dark purple energy ripples.
His hands flew, forming a series of bizarre and twisted hand seals, with filthy black and red light flowing between his fingers.
Inside the secret chamber, the remaining life energy and dying fear of the guards that Xiao Chen had killed were forcibly pulled together by him, and then intertwined with the dark purple filthy energy emitted by the "divine remains," instantly forming a violent energy vortex that exploded with him at its center!
"The Secret Technique of the Underworld: A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!!"
He roared as he formed the final hand seal, and the energy vortex around his body suddenly surged...
Countless twisted and grotesque translucent phantoms of vengeful spirits surged out of the vortex, emitting terrifying roars. Ignoring physical barriers, they pierced straight through walls and instruments, carrying with them a bone-chilling cold and a corrosive spiritual erosion, and swarmed towards Xiao Chen from all directions.
This is an indiscriminate, wide-range mental strangulation, further enhanced by a tangible negative energy impact. Even a Celestial Realm expert could be torn to shreds if they are not careful!
The vengeful spirits swarmed against Xiao Chen's divine energy shield, emitting a "sizzling" melting sound. The shield, already on the verge of collapse, flickered violently, and cracks spread at a visible speed, as if it would completely crumble at any moment.
At this critical moment, the Yin Ancestor suddenly drew his demonic blade, his figure and the blade light merging into one, transforming into a black and red stream of light condensed to the extreme, piercing through the tide of resentful souls, ignoring all obstacles, and stabbing straight into Xiao Chen's heart!
This strike gathered all his remaining strength and last bit of essence, as fast as lightning, ruthless and unparalleled, determined to kill Xiao Chen in one blow!
Just as the blade was about to touch the shield, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he made a move that shocked the Extreme Yin Ancestor... He actually took the initiative to remove the divine energy shield that was on the verge of breaking!
Almost at the same instant the shield dissipated, his right index finger drew an extremely complex three-dimensional rune in the air in front of him at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception. Countless tiny points of light flowed with his fingertip, instantly solidifying to form a mysterious and unpredictable pattern.
The moment the rune took shape, it didn't unleash energy; instead, it suddenly collapsed inward, eventually turning into a tiny, pitch-black dot the size of a pinhead...
That darkness seemed capable of swallowing all light in the world, even the surrounding air was being slowly drawn in, exuding a suffocating sense of emptiness. (End of Chapter)
