A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 490: Chapter 438: Ants Battling a True Immortal (Part 2)

Master Cangfeng finally snapped out of the joy of surviving the calamity and the shock of losing his Divine Soul. After confirming no parts were missing from his body, he stood up, harnessing his Spiritual Power, emitting a series of crackling pops.

After a long while, the two finally felt their ability to speak return. With a hoarse voice, Master Cangfeng asked, ”Are you alright?”

Lu Qian nodded. The master continued, ”What about Ye Xiao?”

Both were startled and began searching around.

Just now, Ye Xiao seemed to be hit by some move from the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, immobilizing her. The ensuing earth-shattering battle had captured all of Master Cangfeng and Lu Qian’s attention, leaving them to momentarily forget about her. ℯℯ𝑙.

The previous catastrophic strike, producing a massive wind pressure, had blown her somewhere unknown. It’s also unclear if she had awakened from the Celestial Monarch’s techniques.

In hindsight, it was nothing more than a wisp of a Split Soul, yet both a Golden Core and Lu Qian were as helpless as newborn mice encountering an old cat, toyed within its grasp.

In the end, they didn’t acquire any treasures and lost the lives of Yan Beixing and the strong man. It was only due to tremendous luck and fortune that the three of them survived; it truly was a great loss.

Well, the Huanggen Sect did gain a Spirit Vein, but now it’s buried under the cracked mountain, requiring some time to excavate and expose again.

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in the distance, followed by an arm breaking out from the soil. Wavy hair flicked off the dirt, revealing Ye Xiao’s charming and heroic face.

”Fairy Ye—”

Just as Master Cangfeng’s call rang out, with a swishing sound, Ye Xiao had already burst from the ground. Her long legs kicked off the earth, shaking off the dirt covering her body.

She paused in silence, her gaze sweeping over Master Cangfeng and Lu Qian, then suddenly moved as if to leave.

”Fairy Ye?” Master Cangfeng sensed something wasn’t right.

At the moment Lu Qian met Ye Xiao’s eyes, his heart sank with a chill.

There was a completely unfamiliar, emotionless, superior gaze!

”Stop her!” Lu Qian shouted, and the Five-Colored Array Realm expanded. Spiritual Power and Divine Sense surged as the clinking Xin Metal Divine Lock and the swelling Weak Water Erosion Flow shot towards Ye Xiao.

Master Cangfeng also reacted, flashing his Escape Light to block Ye Xiao, as a beam of light lit up in his hand.

Ye Xiao halted, expressionless, while Lu Qian’s Xin Metal Divine Lock and Weak Water Erosion Flow encircled her from the outside. She spoke in a low voice, ”Why stop me?”

Master Cangfeng narrowed his eyes, exhaling a breath of Sword Mist, ”You’re not Ye Xiao; who are you?”

Ye Xiao stood there quietly, her face slightly moved, revealing a faint, mocking smile.

Master Cangfeng and Lu Qian felt a chill run down their spines!

It was exactly the expression on the face of the Statue of Miao Fa Celestial Monarch!

Ye Xiao sighed softly, ”Mortals, truly troublesome.”

”It was enough to deceive the Life and Death Celestial Monarch, yet can’t fool the mortals familiar with her, how bothersome.”

”Why don’t you just live well? Why seek death?”

The terrifying scene from before flashed again before their eyes. Before the Celestial Monarch, they were mere ants, overwhelmed with fear, as Master Cangfeng immediately withdrew!

But Lu Qian, gritting his teeth, took a step forward, forcibly suppressing the urge to escape, shouting, ”Pretentious!”

”You’re just a Split Soul; you’re nothing before the Life and Death Celestial Monarch. To deceive her must’ve come at a great cost!”

”The Split Soul was already subdued by the Life and Death Celestial Monarch; you’re hardly even a remnant soul now!”

”To suppress Fairy Ye’s Divine Soul and control this body is already quite difficult, right?”

”If you had any bit of power left, you wouldn’t waste a word on us; you’d have killed us already!”

”Now, aren’t you the one desperate to escape?”

Ye Xiao widened her eyes suddenly, anger twisting her delicate features, as she screamed, ”Audacious ants!”

With a booming sound, the Earth Element and Ji Earth Essence Qi interwove, as four giant earth palms, each over ten meters, emerged from the ground, tearing apart the surrounding Xin Metal Divine Lock and Weak Water Turbulent Flow.

The ground rumbled and cracked open, revealing two enormous heads emerging one after another, with clattering rocks raining down from mid-air.

A colossal earth and stone giant, standing dozens of meters tall, rose up, with two heads and four arms, impressively mighty. Ye Xiao stood atop its shoulder, her originally profound eyes now gleaming with two striking green lights.

The giant let out an angry roar, swinging his arm with a resounding crash, tearing through the air with immense power, and smashed down toward Lu Qian!

But, with a flash of light, the giant’s arm was severed at the shoulder and flung away!

Master Cangfeng appeared, holding a brilliant beam-shaped Magical Treasure that was dazzling and incredibly sharp.

At Lu Qian’s reminder, seeing the Celestial Monarch’s angry and embarrassed appearance, Master Cangfeng stopped retreating and decided to gamble!

Now it seemed that Lu Qian’s guess was correct. Although the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch controlled Ye Xiao’s body, he probably had no other abilities. The Secret Techniques used were all Ye Xiao’s own methods.

Facing the Celestial Monarch was naturally like a moth to a flame, but against Ye Xiao, what fear did Master Cangfeng have?

The giant roared, and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly condensed, regrowing the severed arm. The four arms swung fiercely, grabbing toward Master Cangfeng.

The beam in Master Cangfeng’s hands grew brighter and brighter, stabbing so sharply that no one could keep their eyes open. He took a gentle breath, his body moved, and with a flash of light, he plummeted down like a meteor, unstoppable.

Mingyu Sword Form: City Destruction!

The light’s afterimage remained on the retina, and then a sharp screech pierced the air. Master Cangfeng’s figure had penetrated the obstruction, appearing on the other side of the giant’s body, followed by a rumbling explosion as the giant’s four arms shattered into flying dirt, and a huge hole appeared in its chest.

But when he looked up, he saw that Ye Xiao had transformed into a streaming Escape Light and was shooting away.

Thinking of escaping?

Master Cangfeng smiled faintly.

The next moment, Ye Xiao’s figure was shrouded in a five-colored brilliance!

It turned out that earlier, during their confrontation, Lu Qian had sealed off Ye Xiao’s retreat in advance, waiting for her to turn and flee, right into the trap.

Dozens of Spirit Crystals in his bosom burned simultaneously, with tides of Spiritual Qi rushing into the Array Map as the Jade Scroll Array Map shone brightly, starting with the Duo Chao Geng Gold Divine Sword.

Facing the whistling Geng Metal Divine Sword, Ye Xiao initially showed a disdainful look. A light yellow Jade Seal flew up from her hand and instantly blasted Duo Chao apart.

However, in the burgeoning Geng Metal Qi, a sound of rushing water echoed!

Then, Metal Generates Water, Water Generates Wood, Wood Generates Fire, Fire Generates Earth, Earth Generates Metal.

The Five Elements cycle, constantly transforming without end. In Ye Xiao, or rather, the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch’s angry gaze, the brilliant five-colored light ball appeared, firmly locking her within.

Today, the Five Elements Immortal Prison has truly imprisoned an immortal!

Using this obstruction, Master Cangfeng had already caught up again, standing beside Lu Qian.

”Five Elements Reincarnation? I underestimated you,” Ye Xiao said, her face iron-gray, standing in the Immortal Prison. ”But stopping me, what can you do? This body is your friend, right? Attack me, and your friend will be injured too; kill me, and your friend also dies!”

As she spoke, her Spiritual Power surged, about to use Divine Techniques, with powerful force, to break the Five Elements Immortal Prison.

Unfortunately, she misjudged the situation. In Master Cangfeng’s hands, the Magical Treasure shone flowing light, raising high.

”Letting an Evil Immortal run free would bring endless troubles. Ye Xiao, I’m sorry.”

Divine Power began to converge; he intended to kill Ye Xiao and the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch together!

Suddenly, Lu Qian shouted, ”Master, hold her for a moment, let me try something!”

As soon as the words fell, his Divine Sense turned back, the Array Map contracted, and the Five Elements Immortal Prison dissipated on its own before being broken.

Ye Xiao’s eyes brightened, and with a flash of Escape Light, she shot into the sky, only to be stopped by Master Cangfeng’s Bladeless style.

At that moment, a bright light appeared between Lu Qian’s brows!

The Niwan Palace shook violently, all Divine Sense raging and surging, gathering and converging, sketching a tiny, purple, twisted, floating Talisman in an instant.

Emitting terrifying waves, the Talisman flickered from his brow, transforming into a purple light, striking Ye Xiao’s body with perfect accuracy!

This was one of the three Talismans stealthily learned from the Corpse Ancestor, sketched from Wang Yu’s Divine Soul, the Sealing and Forbidden Talisman!

In the instant of being struck by the Talisman, Ye Xiao stood dazedly, the two green lights in her eyes extinguished in an instant, replaced by deep, profound eyes.

Upon regaining freedom, her Golden Core Divine Sense surged with effort, pushing the point of green light locked by the Talisman in her Sea of Consciousness out of her body!

With a guidance from Lu Qian’s Divine Sense, the purple Talisman, encasing a fragment of the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch’s residual soul, was suspended in the air!
