Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 51: Taiyi Golden Radiance Pill Book

Within the Skeleton Mountain marketplace, upon witnessing Lu Yang and Yun Miaozhen vanish simultaneously, everyone realized it must be the power of the glazed magical sword suspended in the air.

Seeing this scene, Luo Wuyaʼs expression turned solemn, yet he felt secretly delighted.

‘A Foundation Establishment True Person truly possesses unfathomable abilities; Senior Brother actually managed to lure in a big fish. The Heaven-Evading Sword, this spiritual treasure, has resurfaced!’

This treasure ranked thirty-seventh among the 108 swords of the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, holding the top position among the Earth Fiends.

Though not a spiritual treasure, it surpassed them, containing a mustard seed cave heaven.

In combat, merely shining the sword light could draw the enemy into the cave heaven, thus gaining the upper hand.

Inside the cave heaven, the sword pavilion cultivatorʼs magical power was replenished by the cave, allowing them to use divine abilities without expending power.

In contrast, non-sword pavilion cultivators, once trapped in the cave, would first lose thirty percent of their true qi, then thirty percent of their divine abilities, and finally, thirty percent of their spiritual treasureʼs power.

With such advantages and disadvantages, the outcome was already determined.

This was why Yun Miaozhen, knowing Lu Yang had dual formations protecting him, remained confident.

She understood that dual formations couldnʼt block the Heaven-Evading Swordʼs capture.

In fact, most Five Elements objects couldnʼt stop the Heaven-Evading Sword.

The only way to block the Heaven-Evading Sword with formations was to use those involving spatial transformations, but such formations were exceedingly rare.

Moreover, even if they existed, a ninth-grade formation master couldnʼt set them up.

”Given this, this demon must meet his end this time!”

On the other side, Divine Martial Sect Elder Ouyang Feng clapped and laughed heartily.

Although he couldnʼt personally avenge himself, Lu Yangʼs death would still alleviate his deep hatred.

Hearing this, Luo Wuya could only shake his head without refuting, for he felt the same.

If Lu Yang had dual formations protecting him, their duel might have been evenly matched. But once trapped in the Heaven-Evading Sword, death was certain; even he would be in danger.

”However... this also aligns with Senior Brotherʼs intentions.”

”That Lu Yang didnʼt know his place, repeatedly defying Senior Brother and entangling karma. Senior Brother deliberately lured Yun Miaozhen here, perhaps intending to kill with a borrowed knife...”

Thinking of this, Luo Wuya felt at ease.

Although both were disciples of the Holy Sect, he had no intention of helping, merely waiting for Lu Yang to be killed, allowing Yun Miaozhen to seize his fate and open the Witch Ghost Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven-Evading Sword.

The sword light shone down, and even multiple formations couldnʼt block it. When Lu Yang regained his senses and his vision cleared, he found himself in a completely different environment.

All he saw was rampant sword qi.

As the sword qi descended, Lu Yang immediately felt his true qi weaken by thirty percent.

Using divine abilities became significantly more difficult, understanding this was the cave heavenʼs suppression.

The next moment, heavenly light appeared above, and Yun Miaozhen stepped out gracefully.

”Primordial Sain Demon, today you shall face your destined calamity. Be executed!”

A clear voice descended from the sky, truly like an immortal pronouncing a heavenly decree. As soon as she spoke, Lu Yang felt the world turn against him, aiming to tear him apart.

After speaking, Yun Miaozhen pushed the dao crown on her head, instantly revealing a brilliant golden radiance that illuminated the sky.

It then split into three, transforming into golden, silver, and jade lights, coiling around her like swimming dragons, forming an unbroken chain, making her appear even more solemn and dignified.

Seeing this, Lu Yangʼs expression grew more serious.

After several lifetimes of cultivation, he was no longer unfamiliar with the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion.

With a bit of thought, he recognized the divine ability Yun Miaozhen was displaying.

”This is the ʼTaiyi Golden Radiance Pill Bookʼ... the great divine ability of the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion!”

Thinking of this, Lu Yangʼs heart rang with alarm.

The ʼTaiyin Body-Shedding Corpse Liberation True Methodʼ in his hand was also a great divine ability. Because of this, he dared not underestimate the power of such abilities.

”Now itʼs truly a life-and-death struggle,” Lu Yang thought rapidly.

As he knew, the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilionʼs ʼTaiyi Golden Radiance Pill Bookʼ could refine golden, silver, and jade lights, each being a superior divine ability.

To perfect this great divine ability, one must achieve the ”Three Radiances Converging at the Crown,” refining the three lights into one ”Taiyi Golden Radiance.” This not only combined all effects but also amplified the power, even aiding in breaking through to Foundation Establishment!

‘Fortunately, her divine ability shouldnʼt be perfected yet.’

As the saying goes, the great dao is singular. If the divine ability were perfected, Yun Miaozhen wouldnʼt have split into three lights but would have only one Taiyi Golden Radiance.

‘Perhaps this is my opportunity.’

At this moment, Yun Miaozhen took action. She waved her sleeve, and the golden light around her moved at will, enveloping Lu Yang.

Lu Yang immediately retreated. The golden light, called ”Divine Light,” moved with the mind. If the mind was disturbed, it would self-immolate. Thus, even a slight touch would ignite inner fire, causing the body to burn with golden light, turning into ashes without suppression.

”Go!”

Lu Yangʼs mind moved, and the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Light surged upward, the overwhelming blood light forcibly resisting the descending golden light, both stalemating in the air.

Seeing this, Yun Miaozhen gently pressed her brow.

The next moment, a sword pill appeared, flashing like lightning, disappearing instantly, and reappearing above Lu Yangʼs head, striking down—

Clang! Clang!

As the sword qi howled down, Lu Yangʼs Blood Sun Sword Pill was isolated outside the cave heaven. He could only sigh, revealing a Wind and Thunder Treasure Mirror behind his head.

Taiwei Mirror!

The mirror surface shimmered, and instantly wind and thunder followed. The ”Taiwei Wind and Thunder Qi” within the mirror stirred up bolts of lightning, wrapped in howling yin wind, forcibly capturing Yun Miaozhenʼs sword pill like a vortex, continuously eroding its sword qi.

Yun Miaozhen remained calm, even smiling coldly.

Though decisive, she wasnʼt reckless.

Before coming to the marketplace and attacking Lu Yang, she had already investigated his background.

Formations and the Taiwei Mirror were within her expectations.

Now, having bypassed the formations with the Heaven-Evading Sword and restrained the Taiwei Mirror with the sword pill, Yun Miaozhen felt victory was in her grasp, deciding to deliver the final blow.

In the next moment, Yun Miaozhen simultaneously activated the silver and jade lights beside her. These were ”Qi Light” and ”Essence Light,” the former breaking all worldly qi, the latter slicing through steel and iron. Now combined, they formed a clear, crystalline sword light slashing toward Lu Yang!

”Truly a direct disciple of the Sword Pavilion.”

Seeing this, Lu Yang could only sigh. Yun Miaozhen was evidently not a sheltered flower; her tactical execution and timing were impeccable.

In such circumstances, she had mastered a great divine ability.

Though not yet perfected, she was only one step away from fusion. At least she had fully grasped the three divine abilities as components.

In comparison, Lu Yangʼs mastery of the ʼTaiyin Body-Shedding Corpse Liberation True Methodʼ was far inferior.

The final component, ”Taiwei Pardon Talisman,” was still stuck at a bottleneck, making no progress. He hadnʼt even gathered all three divine abilities, let alone integrated them.

”In terms of combat, Iʼm no match for her.”

Lu Yang clearly recognized this.

After all, he was never adept at combat; his strength lay in using higher cultivation to overpower the weak.

But now?

Yun Miaozhen was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while he was at the eighth.

Not only were they not at the same level, but he was also challenging a stronger opponent from a lower position, completely against his usual approach.

‘If this were a few months ago, I might have had to start over.’

However, now there was a new variable.

In the next moment, facing Yun Miaozhenʼs dual sword lights, Lu Yang raised his hand, successively throwing out two talismans, which exploded mid-air.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning and a sword qi surged out, blocking Yun Miaozhenʼs descending sword light at the critical moment!

”Ninth-grade talismans!?”

Yun Miaozhenʼs brows twitched slightly but quickly returned to calm: ”Only two, still a drop in the bucket. How many talismans can you have?”

As a direct disciple of the Sword Pavilion, she didnʼt practice talisman arts but wasnʼt unfamiliar. Even a ninth-grade talisman required at least three days for a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to draw, dedicating all efforts.

So she was certain Lu Yang had no more than ten talismans.

The next moment, Lu Yang waved his hand again.

Then, a scene that left Yun Miaozhen dumbfounded unfolded: the second, third, fourth... dozens to hundreds of talismans spread across the sky!

Behind the myriad talismans, Lu Yang shook the Myriad Spirits Banner, with numerous banner spirits working overtime, rushing production.

”How many talismans? Donʼt compare your personal workshop output with mine. Let me show you the power of a black-hearted industrial assembly line!”

As his words fell, the group of talismans activated simultaneously.

In an instant, sword qi and lightning intertwined, illuminating the entire cave heaven!

Also illuminated was Yun Miaozhenʼs astonished and twisted face!
