Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 553: Chapter 76: Brutal

Seeing the contents of the Storage Bag,

the black-skirted girl was clearly in a very good mood.

The Jade Platform, imbued with the aura of the Enlightenment Stone’s power from years past, was also of great benefit to her.

At the same time,

a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.

’Just a platform it rested on has so much power.’

’What kind of power must the Enlightenment Stone itself have possessed back then?!’

’It’s probably unimaginable!’

The black-skirted girl couldn’t help but recall the legend of the Xiangshan Sect, which had once produced three Profound Pill masters.

’But, what a pity...’

Recalling something, the black-skirted girl let out a soft sigh, a hint of desolation clouding her features.

’That Enlightenment Stone...’

’If it had remained with the Xiangshan Sect lineage,’

’it should have been mine.’

’Unfortunately,’

’in a place like the Demon Sect, the strong are revered...’

’When they fled to the Western Celestial Domain in such a sorry state, what bargaining power did the ancestors of the Xiangshan Sect have?’

’They could only trade their treasures for protection...’

Whether the ancestors’ choice to seek refuge with the Celestial Demon Sect was right or wrong—

it was pointless to consider that now.

’All I can do,’

’is increase my strength as much as possible, and then, step by step, climb higher!’

’And then,’

’take back everything!’

”Killing the prodigies of the Yuqing Sect will be a great merit.”

”If I can kill all of you, the merit I earn will grant me great benefits in the Holy Sect.”

”So then... please, all you dear brothers, go and die!”

She looked at the bewildered prodigies trapped within the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven by the inverted Array.

The black-skirted girl tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curling into a gentle smile.

In that same instant,

a burly figure appeared from nowhere behind the black-skirted girl.

”Demoness, die!”

The burly man roared, gripping a huge, ferocious Wolf Fang Club with both hands. Wielding a power that could topple mountains and overturn seas, he smashed through the air, bringing it down right on the back of her head!

The terrifying force compressed the air, creating a sharp shriek in the void.

The sharp blast of energy cut through the void like a knife.

If this strike landed,

the power within it was enough to pulverize a mountain!

Among the prodigies from the Outer Realm present,

there were, after all, quite a few who were either reckless or courageous.

And with this one blow,

he intended to smash this fearsome Demoness’s head to pulp!

However,

BOOM!!!

The massive Wolf Fang Club passed bizarrely through the black-skirted girl’s figure!

A vast power erupted.

The ground where the black-skirted girl had been standing instantly caved in, and under the pressure of the terrifying force, the earth for dozens of feet around collapsed and crumbled!

But,

the Wolf Fang Club seemed to have passed through an afterimage;

the black-skirted girl was completely unharmed!

”What?!”

The burly man’s expression changed drastically as he realized one thing:

he had been far too arrogant!

But before he could react,

SHIIING!

The black-skirted girl pointed a finger.

A speck of starlight bloomed, transforming into a dark light of Sword Qi that cut through the void in all directions like a flash of lightning, instantly streaking through the space around the burly man’s body.

The burly man behind her,

froze for a moment.

In the next instant, his body was torn to pieces!

”What was that?!”

”How did she dodge Huang Li’s Mountain-Breaking Hammer?”

”I don’t know, I couldn’t see a thing!”

”Damn it! A Saintess Candidate is an expert qualified to contend with an Immortal Sect Daoist! We probably can’t even comprehend the moves of someone like that, let alone fight a person of that level!”

Seeing the black-skirted girl kill the burly man so easily,

the faces of the surrounding prodigies filled with terror.

To be a Saintess Candidate, ranked at the same level as an Immortal Sect Daoist, meant that she possessed combat strength at the Divine Travel Realm Level at the very least!

She might even have some special techniques that created a huge gap in power between her and ordinary Cultivators!

Defeating her would not be easy at all!

Chaos erupted all around.

However,

the black-skirted girl had no intention of letting them go.

With a WHOOSH, her entire figure vanished, reappearing like a lightning bolt a thousand zhang away behind the nearest prodigy.

With a flick of her finger, another sharp, dark light cut through the void, severing the head of the defenseless man!

But she wasn’t finished!

The black-skirted girl vanished again,

and killed another person just as before.

She then began to weave through the crowd, and with each pass, another life was extinguished!

From beginning to end,

neither the dead nor the surrounding prodigies could even catch a trace of her movements!

”What kind of Demon Technique is this?!”

”Damn it! I can’t find a trace of her!”

”AH! Stay away!”

Someone, breaking down in terror, screamed and unleashed powerful Magic, bombarding the area around them indiscriminately.

But it was useless!

Like a ghost gliding through the darkness, the black-skirted girl passed straight through the dense barrage of Magical Attacks, appeared behind him, and casually slit his throat!

In just a few breaths,

seven or eight people had already fallen!

Not one of them could withstand a single exchange!

”Is that... the Power of Space?!!”

On a distant hilltop,

Shen Changchuan stared intently at the black-skirted girl weaving effortlessly through the crowd, his pupils contracting sharply.

Ever since he had successfully cultivated the Void Escape Gu,

Shen Changchuan’s understanding of the Power of Space had deepened considerably.

Although he hadn’t been able to integrate the Power of Space into his Magic,

his perception of the Power of Space was far more acute than that of an ordinary Cultivator!

And because of this,

at this moment,

Shen Changchuan could clearly sense the faint tendrils of the Power of Space lingering around the black-skirted girl!

But...

’how is that possible?!’

’Truly mastering the Power of Space at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer?’

An expression of disbelief appeared on Shen Changchuan’s face.

As a Cultivator who possessed a Void Escape Gu and could, to a certain extent, use its power to travel through space,

Shen Changchuan knew all too well the difference between truly mastering the Power of Space and merely using an external object to harness it!

Truly mastering the Power of Space,

meant being able to travel through space with ease, just as she was doing. With a mere thought, she could jump behind an enemy and unleash an unstoppable, terrifying attack.

On the other hand, someone like him, who relied on the Void Escape Gu to wield the Power of Space,

could only use the teleportation function in a very crude way.

He could only roughly estimate his destination,

and couldn’t use it with any precision in combat!

The black-skirted girl, the suspected Saintess Candidate from the Celestial Demon Sect, was the former!

But...

’how was that possible?!’

’To grasp the Power of Space—something only Profound Pill Realm masters should be able to control—while still in the Soul Emergence Realm... Could this be the power possessed by top-level monstrous talents on par with an Immortal Sect Daoist?!’

At this thought,

Shen Changchuan’s expression turned grim.

But at the same time,

as he watched the black-skirted girl leap through the void and kill at will,

a sharp glint flashed deep in Shen Changchuan’s eyes.

’I wonder...’

’if I could obtain the method to control the Power of Space from this woman?’
