Chapter 765: Resisting the Great Luo Together

Yin Chengquan's split soul looked down at Yin Kuo's figure, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes before he spoke calmly:

"Given the urgency, you trespassed into the clan's sacred ground. Though it was for the clan's benefit, you still violated the clan laws. If you kill all these ants immediately, I will consider your merits offsetting your faults and not punish you."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Domain Lord..." Yin Kuo was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly replied.

"Truly worthy of being a hegemon—your lies are more convincing than others'. I've seen three people who trespassed here without your permission before. One I remember well was named Yin Duo, right? Also a Great Luo Gray Immortal... am I correct? You drained his cultivation and threw him into the lightning pool all the same." Liuqi Patriarch suddenly chuckled.

Hearing this, Yin Kuo's expression changed slightly.

The disappearance of Elder Yin Duo back then was very suspicious, and no clear explanation had ever been found. The clan members thought he had been ambushed by people from the Samsara Domain while outside, leading to many conflicts with them. Yin Chengquan, as Domain Lord, seemed indifferent to it...

Now hearing this, combined with some absurd rumors from the past, Yin Kuo couldn't help but feel shaken.

"Hmph, you old fox are best at sowing discord. Stop your instigations here. As the Domain Lord of the Netherworld, my word is law. How could I go back on my promise?" Yin Chengquan's split soul glared and rebuked.

"Rest assured, Domain Lord. I will annihilate these insignificant ants completely." Yin Kuo's gaze sharpened as he cupped his hands to Yin Chengquan's split soul.

Yin Chengquan said no more, nodded, and said to Liuqi Patriarch, "Old fox, accept your death!"

With that, his figure flickered and charged again at the massive nine-tailed celestial fox.

"This time, I will extract your souls and refine them, so you know what it means to never be reborn!" Yin Kuo turned to Shi Chuankong, his face exceptionally dark, gritting his teeth and speaking hoarsely.

Shi Chuankong glanced back at Han Li, who was purging his fiendish aura in the silver lightning pool, then turned back with a grim expression.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, we're in big trouble." Hu San smiled bitterly.

"What pessimism! Use any trump cards you have left. Although this man is a Great Luo Gray Immortal, his aura seems unstable. If we can hold out until Liuqi Patriarch finishes his business, we'll have a chance!" Shi Chuankong shouted to Hu San.

The latter had already stood up, one hand in his sleeve, nodding silently.

"Hmph... a Taiyi and a Golden Immortal dare to challenge me? Ridiculous!" Yin Kuo snorted, took a black seal from his waist, and casually tossed it into the void ahead.

A streak of black light shot out, expanding rapidly three feet from his hand, instantly turning into a millstone-sized black square seal. The four characters 'Embrace All Things' on its bottom shone brightly as it smashed toward Shi Chuankong.

Shi Chuankong's eyes flashed with a strange light as he formed hand seals and retreated swiftly.

With a heavy bang!

For some reason, the black seal flickered, its speed suddenly surging, and struck Shi Chuankong directly, sending him flying backward to crash into the wall.

"Brother Shi!"

Hu San had just cried out when a mass of blood light flared on his body, and his figure exploded.

"Pathetic." Yin Kuo sneered disdainfully.

His gaze crossed the lightning pool, landing on Han Li, who was covered in blood and in a miserable state, surrounded by violent silver lightning. A flicker of fear also appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Just then, his brow furrowed, and he turned his gaze toward the black seal.

"Crack, crack, crack"

A sound like shattering porcelain came from behind the black seal. A large area of visible spatial cracks spread from it, distorting the void there.

Behind the seal, Shi Chuankong held a strange hand seal, with a walnut-sized white jade pendant pressed against his palm. Runes flickered on it, emitting intense spatial fluctuations.

This strange spatial fluctuation formed a spatial wall between Shi Chuankong and the black seal.

"I almost forgot, you know some spatial law techniques." Yin Kuo snorted coldly.

With that, he raised a palm and pressed down on the void before him.

A loud bang echoed.

An overwhelming force like a tidal wave came from the black giant seal, instantly crushing the spatial wall.

The white jade pendant before Shi Chuankong's palm also exploded.

The black seal doubled in size again and continued to ram into him.

Shi Chuankong spat out a mouthful of blood, leaning against the cracked wall, his body erupting with a brilliant silver and black light.

His muscles swelled rapidly, his figure grew quickly, and copper-coin-sized black scales appeared on his skin. His chest and limbs were covered with intricate silver runes. His white hair lengthened rapidly, his handsome face transformed into a fierce visage with a gaping mouth and fangs, turning into a hundred-zhang giant demon!

At the same time, bones protruded from his back and armpits, sprouting four more arms, also covered with silver patterns, all waving as they pushed forward.

Layers of silver light waves rose from his palms, stacking and striking the black giant seal, which had grown to the size of a small mountain.

With a thunderous roar!

The black giant seal shuddered violently, not only stopping its advance but flying back toward Yin Kuo.

Yin Kuo raised an eyebrow slightly, waved his sleeve, and the black seal, flying back with city-toppling force, shrank rapidly with a flash of black light and was taken into his sleeve.

"Is that all you've got? Then you can die." Yin Kuo did not hide his contempt.

With that, he formed a hand seal with one hand, spread the fingers of the other, and reached forward. A mass of pitch-black light burst from his palm like a black sun exploding.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

Yin Kuo felt his vision blur, his body tightened, and his flesh instantly ruptured, giving birth to bewitching blood-red flowers from his blood and flesh.

Each petal of those blood-red flowers was full and fleshy, looking as plump as a woman's lips, with dewdrop-like blood beads rolling on them, appearing very eerie.

Yin Kuo looked down and found that his flesh seemed to have become nourishment for these blood-red flowers, being greedily absorbed. The more vibrant the petals, the more withered his body became.

"After all, this isn't the Immortal Realm. We don't see such blooming scenery here. If I weren't in such a bad mood, I wouldn't want to break your flashy illusion right away." Yin Kuo sneered.

Though he spoke lightly, he was puzzled, unsure when he had fallen into the illusion.

"Break!" He chanted a few strange incantations softly, then suddenly roared.

The roar was like a thunderclap on dry ground, shaking the entire hall's void.

A powerful wave rippled from his body, sweeping through like wind clearing ashes, causing all the strange flowers and phenomena to annihilate layer by layer and vanish without a trace.

"Brother Shi, now!" Hu San's light shout came from the void.

"Twang..." Just as all the illusions were about to fade, a pipa sound rang out.

Yin Kuo, just freed from the illusion, raised an eyebrow and saw a figure shooting toward him, holding a silver pipa, fingers stained with blood as they swiftly plucked the strings.

It was Shi Chuankong!

"Twang... twang, twang... twang... twang, twang..."

With the increasingly urgent pipa sounds, the runes on the silver pipa lit up one after another. Then his fingers paused, and a dazzling silver crystal light appeared on the strings, like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be released.

In a daze, Yin Kuo felt his heart tremble, and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine.

This silver crystal light actually seemed capable of threatening him!

Shi Chuankong, suspended in midair, had nearly all his immortal spiritual power drained by the Luozha Pipa in his arms. His whole body trembled, but the hand plucking the strings remained exceptionally steady.

"Release!" As he neared exhaustion, he suddenly let go of the string.

A dazzling silver crystal light shot out instantly!

With almost no time loss and no spatial distance, the crystal light, the moment it left the pipa, directly struck Yin Kuo's heart.

A shattering sound rang out.

At the critical moment, a black seal appeared at Yin Kuo's heart, blocking the crystal light.

Without any hindrance, and without any loud noise, the black seal flashed with black light, split from the center with a narrow gap, and broke in two.

Half of the seal fell to the ground, while the other half vanished into thin air.

In the instant bought by the shattered seal, Yin Kuo's body erupted with violent lightning and thunder, his human form transforming into a brilliant black lightning bolt that shot to the side.

His speed was extreme, almost comparable to Han Li reversing the Truth Wheel.

But even so, the black lightning couldn't evade the silver crystal light. A section of lightning swept by vanished without a trace, just like the half seal.

"Crackle..."

A flash of black lightning appeared at one side of the great hall, and Yin Kuo's figure emerged from it.

His face was full of fear and anger, gritting his teeth as he glanced down at his left side. He found that his entire left arm and shoulder had disappeared. The bloody stump still had residual spatial law force, preventing even his flesh from regenerating.
