Chapter 284 Self-Destructing Dharma Body
"Despicable! They actually set up such a large-scale complex formation in advance!"
"However, by using your own puppet ghost as bait to lure True Monarch Ziyang into the formation, you will also suffer considerable losses yourself. Are you really willing to do that?"
Upon seeing the near-fourth-tier puppet ghost and Ziyang Zhenjun instantly swallowed up by the formation, Huangsha Zhenjun, who had pushed his wind attribute divine power to its limit, changed his expression drastically, and a trace of fear appeared on his aged face.
"Hehe, you underestimate my magnanimity. It's just a quasi-fourth-tier puppet ghost. If I can take a Nascent Soul True Monarch down with me, this deal is simply too worthwhile."
Guigu Zhenjun chuckled, and then, under the watchful gaze of Huangsha Zhenjun, he began to manipulate complex hand seals, his magical power surging and rising around him.
The complex formation below suddenly emitted a dangerous and menacing light.
In an instant, a world-destroying aura that even made a Nascent Soul True Monarch feel a chill erupted within the formation.
Even through the array, the slightest leak of aura sent chills down Huangsha Zhenjun's spine.
Such a terrifying killing formation could kill even a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
"Stop! True Lord Guigu, we two have come here only to issue a warning, not to truly be your enemy!"
"Are you really trying to make an enemy of our local forces by resorting to such ruthless methods?"
"Quickly dismantle the formation, and I and True Monarch Ziyang can vouch for you and help you integrate into the local forces!"
Now, Huangsha Zhenjun panicked.
However, being an older Nascent Soul cultivator, he first showed weakness in just three sentences, then subtly threatened, and finally made empty promises.
Its purpose was to protect the True Lord Ziyang.
They had clearly underestimated the abilities of the Ghost Valley True Lord this time, with the former even mistakenly entering his killing formation and finding himself at a disadvantage.
As long as I can intimidate the other party with my words, I can get away safely for the time being.
Whether it was war or peace, I gained a better understanding of Master Guigu.
"Heh, so the Nascent Soul cultivators in this local cultivation world are just begging for mercy and making peace when they fail to outnumber the enemy. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Guigu Zhenjun chuckled, his face full of mockery, but his movements in activating the formation did not stop; instead, they quickened.
In the formation.
Ziyang Zhenjun gritted his teeth and persevered, frantically activating his natal magic weapon to bombard the formation.
However, this fourth-order formation was meticulously arranged by the Ghost Valley True Lord, integrating illusion formation, trapping formation, and killing formation into one, making it as solid as a rock. In addition, there was a near-fourth-order puppet ghost lurking nearby, making it impossible to concentrate on breaking the formation.
Before long, the near-fourth-tier puppet ghost's body was severely disintegrated under the indiscriminate attack of the formation. In its dying moments, it did not hesitate to self-destruct its ghost body.
The self-destruction of a near-fourth-tier ghost was powerful enough to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.
The powerful aura and gale force could not spread out within the formation, and their power was amplified by compression.
In less than a moment, the Purple Sun True Lord was struck by the self-destruction of the puppet ghost and the bombardment of the array. His body swayed, his face turned pale, his defensive measures were broken, his magnificent purple robes were torn, and he was seriously injured.
'puff'
With a mouthful of blood, the aura within Ziyang Zhenjun instantly weakened, and it seemed he could no longer hold on.
"True Lord Guigu, I will remember the humiliation of damaging your Dharma body today, and I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"
With a long, gloomy shout coming from within the formation, a tremendous roar erupted instantly, causing the entire Tiangui Peak mountain range to shake violently and rocks to tumble down.
An astonishing aura seeped out from within the fourth-order composite formation, forcefully shattering the formation inch by inch.
A palm-sized purple light flashed out from it, revealing it to be the nascent soul of True Monarch Ziyang that had left his body.
The tiny purple figure, filled with hostility, glanced at Guigu Zhenjun from afar, then, not daring to linger, transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect True Monarch Ziyang to have such courage. He cleanly and decisively self-destructed his body and broke through the formation to leave. What a pity."
A hint of surprise appeared on Guigu Zhenjun's handsome face.
To advance to the Nascent Soul stage, one's physical body and Nascent Soul must be extremely compatible.
Although the nascent soul can still be reborn by seizing another body after leaving the body, the risk is too great, and the probability of encountering a compatible body again is too small. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to do it.
If True Lord Ziyang had hesitated even a moment longer today, he would have been entangled in the offensive techniques of the formation and met a tragic end.
The other party's decisive action, like a hero cutting off his own arm, actually saved him from disaster.
"True Lord Ziyang actually self-destructed his physical body, and his nascent soul left his body to escape!"
Upon seeing this, Huangsha Zhenjun, who was engaged in a magical duel with Guigu Zhenjun above, was greatly alarmed, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
Although Ziyang Zhenjun was more than two hundred years younger than him, his supernatural abilities were about the same as his.
Unexpectedly, he was forced to self-destruct his physical body and nascent soul right in front of him!
"This person's methods are unfathomable. Although we are both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his true strength is probably already close to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He is not someone we can fight head-on!"
Huangsha Zhenjun began to consider retiring.
"Yellow Sand Curse!"
He immediately waved his robe, and the wide sleeves suddenly billowed, from which a terrifying gust of yellow sand howled out, accompanied by a 'whooshing' sound like a baby crying.
Immediately afterwards, yellow sand filled the surrounding area within a thousand feet, concealing countless sharp wind blades, and countless flying sand and stones, causing all the cultivators of Tiangui Peak, including Master Tan, to be blown off balance.
Fortunately, Master Guigu used his skills in time to save most of the lives.
However, some unlucky disciples were instantly dried up by the sandstorm and turned into mummies.
When the storm subsided, the Yellow Sand True Lord had vanished without a trace.
They've obviously run away.
……
Mingling Peak.
After learning Shen Wenyao's true identity, Lin Changsheng felt no guilt for standing her up back then, nor did he have any of his previous concerns.
From his current perspective, although Shen Wenyao is a Golden Core cultivator, she is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Her magical power is ordinary and she is only good at scaring low-level cultivators. However, she does not have any obvious advantage when facing Golden Core cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, Lin Changsheng is no longer the Foundation Establishment cultivator he once was. After advancing to the Golden Core stage, his overall strength surpasses that of Shen Wenyao, the young master of the Linglong Pavilion.
In an instant, Lin Changsheng once again sensed movement coming from the direction of Tiangui Peak.
"Huh, two of their auras have weakened instantly!"
Lin Changsheng couldn't help but show surprise.
Among the two vanished auras was that near-fourth-tier ghost.
"Could it be that they perished together?"
Lin Changsheng was astonished.
"It seems that True Monarch Guigu is no ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch. We don't need to run away for now."
Lin Changsheng was at ease.
Immediately, the attack of the magic weapon in his hand became fierce and cunning.
The sudden change left the Jurchen people on the other side speechless. They felt that this usually shrewd young man had suddenly become extremely fierce.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent had not yet adapted to his sudden attack rhythm, Lin Changsheng immediately patted the storage bag hanging on his waist.
'Om! '
A powerful, golden aura suddenly surged forth.
