Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

”Sss!”

At the very moment Ancestor Tingyou cast his gaze over, Ye Tao from the Sword Pavilion felt a chill surge straight to his crown, his eyes filled with dread.

Ancestor Tingyou!

This was precisely why Lü Yang chose not to offer the slain Foundation Establishment realm demon clan members to his sword, but instead absorbed them into the Myriad Spirits Banner, transforming them into banner spirits.

To be fair, Ancestor Tingyou was no longer what he once was. After escaping from the hands of a True Lord, he had barely survived through five lifetimes, exhausting his former foundations. Even if he wished to engage in magical duels, he was powerless, only capable of bullying the likes of Lü Yang, who was merely a Qi Refining junior back then.

However, this deficiency was not entirely irremediable.

【Yama Hall】!

This secret technique, once considered Lü Yang’s trump card, was the very reason he dared to enter meditation under the watchful eyes of all, focusing solely on refining the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend.

”Lü Yang... this lad’s cultivation is still lacking.”

Ancestor Tingyou sighed, ”The most crucial aspect of the 【Yama Hall】 is the balance of cultivation levels. Why has he gathered eight early Foundation Establishment cultivators and one at mid-Foundation Establishment?”

Seven demon clan members at early Foundation Establishment, plus Chen Xin’an.

And Sui Ling at mid-Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, these nine banner spirits stood behind Ancestor Tingyou, their forms gradually blurring, transforming into a majestic hall, presenting various scenes of Yama.

The Impermanence seeking lives, ghost messengers fetching souls.

Judges rewarding and punishing, wandering gods patrolling the heavens.

”Moreover, the support of the earth veins is lacking... forget it.”

Ancestor Tingyou appeared indifferent, calculating with his fingers, then shook his head, ”I’ll make some slight modifications to the secret technique; it should be barely usable.”

With this thought, the previously discordant nine banner spirits immediately underwent changes. Sui Ling’s aura at mid-Foundation Establishment suddenly plummeted, while the other eight banner spirits simultaneously surged in aura. Through this mutual adjustment, balance was reestablished, leaving no gaps.

”Boom!”

In the next second, the fully formed 【Yama Hall】 opened and closed its doors. Instantly, everyone present felt a dizzying spin before their eyes.

By the time they regained their senses, they had already fallen into the 【Yama Hall】!

”Amitabha...”

Amidst the rolling Yin Fiend, Hui Ku was not alarmed but delighted. After all, his Pure Land was most adept at dealing with such evil entities. At this moment, he became much more composed.

Thinking of this, he immediately chanted a Buddhist mantra, ”Demon!”

As his words fell, Hui Ku opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of crimson flames, accompanied by a surging heatwave, instantly sweeping across half of the 【Yama Hall】.

This fire was called the 【World-Purifying Karma Fire】.

As the name implied, this fire specifically targeted Yin Fiend and karmic obstacles. Any evil entity touched by this fire would immediately become its fuel, unable to extricate themselves.

However, upon seeing this, Ancestor Tingyou merely glanced and sneered coldly. In the next second, the originally pervasive Yin Fiend energy abruptly transformed, revealing rays of heavenly light, upright and grand, converting from Yin Fiend to Yang Gang, directly extinguishing the Karma Fire as if Mount Tai had pressed down upon it!

Such a scene left Hui Ku dumbfounded:

”What is this!?”

Perfectly fine Yin Fiend, how did it suddenly turn into Yang Gang? How could Yin and Yang reverse? Even if possible, why had he never heard of it before?

In truth, he couldn’t be blamed.

After all, this technique was something Ancestor Tingyou comprehended after personally observing Chong Guang seeking gold and witnessing him reverse the world’s earthly elements.

”Unfortunately, it’s not as good as the original.”

Ancestor Tingyou shook his head, ”Reversing Yin Fiend is already my limit. To reverse the attributes of Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend requires a Fruit Position.”

”But to deal with you bald donkeys, it’s sufficient.”

In the next second, countless ferocious ghosts emerged from the 【Yama Hall】. However, now they were clad in Yang Gang, appearing like heavenly soldiers and generals.

”Kill!”

The soldiers and generals swarmed forward, instantly engulfing Hui Ku. Hui Ku, while fending off in a fluster, turned to look at Cheng Tinggui beside him:

”Isn’t this false position technique from your Dao Court?”

”Quickly break it!”

”I...”

Cheng Tinggui’s face turned red. He had long been trying to find a flaw in the 【Yama Hall】, but to his dismay, although this secret technique was derived from their Dao Court’s official position false-holding technique, as a local cultivator of the Dao Court, he couldn’t find a single flaw in the 【Yama Hall】!

’...How is this possible!’

Cheng Tinggui was dumbfounded. Even when he occasionally discovered a flaw, Ancestor Tingyou merely glanced at him and easily patched it up!

’How can we fight this!?’

At this moment, a sword cry sounded:

It was Ye Tao making a move. He looked solemnly at Ancestor Tingyou, ”I didn’t expect you, this remnant, to still be alive. This time, you must not be spared!”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tingyou raised an eyebrow, ”...Still dare to call me a remnant?”

In the next second, Ancestor Tingyou’s figure disappeared from the original spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ye Tao, a large hand grabbing fiercely!

”Slash!”

Seeing this, Ye Tao immediately activated his sword pill to strike. However, to his shock, his sword pill was actually caught by Ancestor Tingyou!

Infinite sword light burst forth, yet it couldn’t tear apart Ancestor Tingyou’s palm. Instead, it was entirely absorbed by him. The sword pill, which should have been capable of cutting through anything, now seemed like a harmless jade bead in his hand. With just two fingers, it suddenly emitted crackling explosive sounds!

”Demon, what kind of evil technique is this!?”

Ye Tao’s eyes were bloodshot. This sword pill was tied to his cultivation and essence. If it were damaged, he himself would suffer significant harm!

”Wait... something’s not right!”

”I seem to have not used the sword technique just now? Nor any divine abilities?” Ye Tao’s thoughts cleared, and he was terrified to realize the foolish act he had committed.

Ancestor Tingyou certainly couldn’t crush the sword pill by hand.

In fact, it was he himself who handed the sword pill to him!

But why would this happen?

While Ye Tao was still in shock, Ancestor Tingyou sighed:

”Unfortunately, even within the 【Yama Hall】, I can only perform simple imitations. I have yet to comprehend its mysteries. It truly is related to the Fruit Position?”

He was imitating the 【Knowledge Obstruction】.

As a banner spirit of the Myriad Spirits Banner, he had witnessed everything Lü Yang experienced, naturally having ample time and opportunity to comprehend such a wondrous technique.

As a result, he did achieve some success!

After all, back then, the Witch Ghost Path was merely a small sect. Even the great divine ability used to break through Foundation Establishment was singular. What did Ancestor Tingyou rely on to duel with Foundation Establishment cultivators?

He relied on his comprehension!

Comprehending others’ innate divine abilities and talent divine abilities, using spells to imitate and utilize them, turning decay into magic. This was a technique only Ancestor Tingyou possessed!

”Crack!”

In the next second, Ancestor Tingyou directly crushed Ye Tao’s sword pill. This mid-Foundation Establishment sword cultivator immediately vomited blood, his aura suddenly weakening.

On the other side, Hui Ku and Cheng Tinggui were also struggling to fight back.

Even if it was merely using the 【Yama Hall】 to falsely hold the mid-Foundation Establishment position, still fighting three opponents alone, Ancestor Tingyou managed to firmly hold the upper hand!

Such combat power was only slightly inferior to Lü Yang.

If Lü Yang possessed such combat power due to the 【Tribulation Wave】, second-grade true skills, and numerous components stacking up massive stats.

Then Ancestor Tingyou was much simpler.

His magical duels relied entirely on talent!

However, at this moment.

”Amitabha!”

Suddenly, a thunderous Buddhist chant resounded from outside the 【Yama Hall】. Then, from within the clouds, a giant hand descended out of thin air.

”Boom!”

With just this strike, the 【Yama Hall】, which could trap three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, was directly torn apart. Upon seeing this, Ancestor Tingyou immediately narrowed his eyes:

”Great True Person”

The first to lose patience, in the end, was still the Pure Land!
