A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 167 Yin Demon Slash

Luo Ming's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated the Xuan Yuan Pearl with all his might. He knew that this was the desperate struggle of the Extreme Yin Ancestor. If the opponent broke through the Xuan Yuan Formation, he would have no choice but to use the Escape Wind Shuttle to escape.

This is also the source of his confidence to try to fight the other party; after all, as long as he can't win, he can still escape.

The Yin Ancestor's attack failed, and as he felt the tremors of Wu Chou's body growing more intense, a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

He forcibly possessed the body of a Core Formation cultivator, which was already difficult to sustain. Now, he was trapped by the Profound Origin Heavy Water Formation, and his primordial spirit power was being consumed extremely quickly. If this continued, before he could break through the formation, his primordial spirit would be damaged because his body could not withstand it, and he might even be completely imprisoned by the formation.

The Yin Ancestor's eyes flashed with even more ruthlessness. Gritting his teeth, he made a decision: "The only option is to deplete this fool's life essence!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly activated his primordial spirit power, and a strange black aura instantly swept over Wu Chou's entire body, rushing wildly into his dantian along his meridians.

Wu Chou's already collapsing body suddenly convulsed violently, with faint blood light surging beneath his skin, and he let out a shrill scream that was not human—the Extreme Yin Ancestor was actually using a forbidden technique to forcibly burn Wu Chou's original essence blood, using it as a catalyst to increase the power of his own demonic fire!

"Hehehe... Sacrifice your essence, burn your blood for fire! Explode for me!"

With the roar of the Yin Ancestor, Wu Chou's body withered at a visible speed, while the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire around him seemed to receive endless nourishment, instantly surging several times over. The weak fire that was originally suppressed by the Zhiyang Bird Spirit Flame now transformed into a blue-green sea of ​​fire, carrying a strange power that could burn everything, and fiercely counterattacked against the golden-white spirit flame.

"Hey——!"

The Zhiyang Bird let out a sharp cry, its wings flapping at an abruptly faster speed. Its golden-white spiritual flames erupted with all their might, but the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, which had burned its primordial essence, was far more powerful than before. The intense heat was mixed with a bone-chilling cold, forcing the golden-white spiritual flames to retreat repeatedly. The previously suppressed evil aura swept across the entire area once again, and even the spiritual net of the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Array began to tremble violently, its spiritual light dimming slightly.

A hint of smugness flashed in the eyes of the Extreme Yin Ancestor. He controlled the surging Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, no longer attacking the formation, but instead turning its direction and sweeping towards the twelve Profound Yuan Pearls. He knew that Luo Ming had set up the formation with the help of this treasure. As long as he refined this natal magic treasure, Luo Ming would be severely injured and would have no power to fight back.

The Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire instantly enveloped the two closest Xuan Yuan Pearls, and the eerie, chilling power frantically eroded the pearls. The dark blue spiritual light on the surface of the Xuan Yuan Pearls flickered violently and emitted bursts of buzzing, as if struggling in pain. Luo Ming's divine consciousness imprint inside the pearl once again felt a piercing burning pain, even more intense than before.

Luo Ming's face turned deathly pale, and his spiritual energy at his fingertips became chaotic. He could clearly sense the weakness of the Profound Origin Pearl and inwardly groaned, "This is bad! This old bastard actually disregarded his grandson's physical body and directly burned his primordial essence blood, causing the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire to surge too much. The Fat Sun Bird simply can't withstand it. If this continues, the Profound Origin Pearl will be refined soon!"

He forced himself to calm down and quickly thought of a solution: the Extreme Yin Ancestor was currently using forbidden techniques to greatly increase his strength. Although he had spirit birds and beasts under his command, only the spirit fire of the Zhiyang Bird could rival it. However, the Zhiyang Bird was only at the fifth level. Although it could restrain the opponent, its strength was ultimately too weak, and it would be defeated sooner or later.

If the Fat Sun Bird can break through to the seventh level, the power of its spiritual flame will definitely undergo a qualitative leap. At that time, it will surely be able to easily suppress this Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire.

"Forget it! As long as we're alive, we can always fight again!" Luo Ming hardened his heart, having already decided to retreat. "For today, I'll avoid their sharp edge. I'll settle accounts with this old bastard later when I break through to the next level!"

Thinking of this, Luo Ming no longer hesitated. He quietly formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a flash of light appeared at his fingertips. A magic weapon that was pure white and shaped like a flying shuttle appeared. It was one of his trump cards for survival - the Wind-Escape Shuttle.

This treasure is extremely fast, far exceeding ordinary escape techniques. He originally intended to use it to escape this place and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

Just as the Wind-Escape Shuttle was about to be activated, Luo Ming froze, his gaze suddenly locking onto Wu Chou's right hand. A storm raged in his heart, and an extreme sense of crisis instantly swept over his entire body—Wu Chou's right hand had already been raised at some point, his palm swirling with dense black energy, within which an extremely terrifying and highly condensed Yin energy was rapidly gathering.

"This aura... could it be the Yin Demon Slash?" Luo Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and a memory flashed through his mind.

"Die, brat!" The Extreme Yin Ancestor's eyes blazed with murderous intent, no longer concealing his ruthlessness. He manipulated Wu Chou's right hand, slashing fiercely in the direction of Luo Ming.

Luo Ming exerted all his strength to activate his full magical power, controlling the three Xuan Yuan Pearls nearby, and slammed them fiercely into the black giant blade.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar resounded as the massive black blade shattered the spiritual net within the Xuan Yuan Formation, then struck the three Xuan Yuan Pearls, which had transformed into pearls each ten feet in size.

The Xuan Yuan Pearl was made from Xuan Water. Although its weight was extremely heavy, its hardness was only average. When the black giant blade struck the Xuan Yuan Pearl, it seemed to sink into a quagmire, and its speed suddenly slowed down, giving Luo Ming enough time to dodge.

"That was close! If I had been hit by that Xuan Yin Slash, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die." Luo Ming, who had dodged the attack of the black giant blade, waved his hand in the air with lingering fear, and the Xuan Yuan Pearl that had been cut in half was restored to its original state. However, it was covered with wisps of black energy, and it looked like it had only lost some spiritual power.

Seeing that his natal magic weapon was unharmed, he finally felt relieved.

The Xuan Yuan Pearl is made from liquid Xuan Water, so it is not afraid of being damaged by sharp weapons. Even if it is cut in half, it can be restored to its original state. This is also the advantage of making magic weapons from liquid materials.

According to the Xuanming Scripture, if this treasure is refined to a high level, even if it is cut into countless pieces, it can instantly recover to its original state without affecting the battle.

Taking advantage of the gap in the broken formation, the Yin Ancestor manipulated the withered body of Wu Chou, and the Heavenly Corpse Fire around him surged again. Like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed out through the hole in the formation and completely broke free from the restraints of the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Formation.

After escaping, the Yin Ancestor no longer suppressed the demonic fire. The power brought by burning the essence blood of Wu Chou was completely unleashed. The Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire swept across the entire area, suppressing the golden and white spiritual flames of the Zhi Yang Bird and forcing it to retreat step by step. It even began to burn the wings of the Zhi Yang Bird. The Zhi Yang Bird let out a painful cry, and its aura instantly weakened.

With the Demon Flame victorious, the Extreme Yin Ancestor's gaze once again locked onto Luo Ming, his killing intent almost materializing.

Before he finished speaking, the Yin Ancestor's hands did not stop for a moment. The azure demonic fire in his palm surged, and with a sudden wave of his hand, two condensed azure Heavenly Corpse Fires roared out, carrying a bone-chilling cold and destructive power. However, they did not rush towards Luo Ming, but flew towards the two corpse puppets.

What happened next made Luo Ming's pupils shrink. The corpse puppet, which had already fallen to the ground and was lifeless, was suddenly enveloped in a bluish-green Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, which continuously poured into the corpse puppet's body.

A moment later, the headless corpse puppet was completely restored to its original state, even more ferocious than before. It let out a low roar and stood side by side with another Tiandu corpse puppet, which had been temporarily suppressed by the Xuan Yuan Pearl but had now broken free of its restraints. Both corpse puppets were surrounded by dense azure corpse fire, and their auras were far greater than before.
