Chapter 830: The Boundary Pearl

Here the mountains trembled, ancient trees toppled, and a massive wave of energy swept through the region, with destructive fluctuations erupting violently.

Birds and beasts fled in all directions, throwing the entire mountain forest into chaos. If this energy storm erupted, it would likely destroy the whole forest.

Gao Yingjie appeared extremely ferocious, his body shrouded in yin and yang qi. He wore a battle robe shaped like a yin-yang fish, extraordinary and exuding a powerful aura.

"Young master, to avoid further complications, let this old servant suppress him directly," the old crone said urgently, looking at Yao Xuan, whose battle aura was fierce.

Hearing this, Yao Xuan's eyes first turned cold, then he nodded: "You're right. Although we've sealed this area, delays breed changes. Let's suppress him quickly."

The old crone nodded hastily. Her eyes first fell on the woman, and she sneered: "You dared to insult our young master just now. If we don't flay you alive, how can we appease his anger?"

She stepped forward, and the woman was truly terrified. She was young, with a bright future ahead; she did not want to die.

Seeing this, Gao Yingjie sneered. His hand suddenly grabbed the woman's shoulder, and under her terrified gaze, two streams of yin and yang qi burst forth from her head.

"No..." The woman screamed in terror. A seal had long been planted inside her, but she never expected to die this way.

"Hmph, your yin essence is spent. Keeping you is useless," Gao Yingjie snorted coldly, devoid of any emotion.

Only at the moment of death did the woman realize her mistake. She had thought she could win Gao Yingjie's favor with her body, never expecting that once her yin essence was drained and she was of no use to him, he would kill her outright.

"This is their sect's forbidden technique. Quickly suppress Gao Yingjie!" Yao Xuan urged upon seeing this. This forbidden technique was extremely terrifying. The Yin-Yang Sect often planted such seals in female slaves' bodies, which could be used to break through bottlenecks and reach higher realms.

This forbidden technique was unique to the Yin-Yang Sect. Once activated, it could boost Gao Yingjie's combat power to a formidable level.

But it was too late. The woman's face was full of terror, and her fair, tempting skin rapidly shriveled as if she were dying of old age.

Gao Yingjie directly extracted two streams of yin and yang qi, each thick and massive. This was the woman's decades of hard-cultivated essence, now completely drained.

The yin and yang qi floated in his palm. Gao Yingjie's gloomy gaze fell on the old crone charging toward him, and a bone-chilling coldness curled on his face.

"Die!" the old crone shouted. A golden bowl appeared in her hand, its mouth like the sky, emitting a divine light that struck toward Gao Yingjie's head.

Gao Yingjie snorted. He stomped his foot, and his blood energy surged. He directly consumed the extracted yin and yang qi, and his aura began to climb wildly.

Roar! The yin and yang qi formed a massive yin-yang fish, rotating in the void like a millstone, exuding a terrifying aura.

At that moment, the rotating yin and yang qi suddenly surged, transforming into two divine dragons that roared forth, attacking the divine might unleashed by the golden bowl.

Boom! The ten directions trembled. The collision was extremely powerful. The yin and yang qi were mysterious, capable of both offense and defense, and actually blocked a strike from a Cave Heaven realm expert.

"To kill me, see if you're qualified!" Gao Yingjie roared. A small earthen-yellow pagoda emerged, spinning in the void, radiating dazzling divine light.

Yang Tian, who was on his way, also sensed the battle ahead. He slowed his pace and activated the ancient mirror to guard against unforeseen events.

"No wonder they stopped moving. They've been intercepted," Yang Tian said with a smile as he saw the clash.

"That must be Yao Xuan. It seems the Tianyao Pavilion has found the Yin-Yang Sect people," Yang Tian muttered, noticing the aura of a young man.

Although Gao Yingjie had absorbed the yin and yang qi, he was still not qualified to face a Cave Heaven realm expert.

At this moment, a red orb appeared in his hand, emitting an ancient, desolate fluctuation with a terrifying aura.

"The Crimson Jade Blood Orb!" Seeing the orb, the old crone's eyes widened, and she quickly retreated.

This was a naturally formed artifact. If its inner divine might were unleashed, it could cause terrible damage. It was an item from the Lost Divine Realm, extremely precious. She hadn't expected Gao Yingjie to possess one.

Yao Xuan also shuddered and retreated hastily. If he were injured by this thing, given his cultivation, he would likely fall.

"Old hag, go to hell!" Gao Yingjie sneered, hurling the Crimson Jade Blood Orb to suppress the old crone.

"Stop!" Seeing she couldn't dodge, the old crone spun the golden bowl, which expanded to a hundred zhang, shielding her entire body.

Boom! The Crimson Jade Blood Orb crashed into it. First, it struck the bowl with a clang, then it exploded, unleashing a terrifying wave.

Like heavy waves of blood, it surged wildly in all directions. The great bowl trembled violently, then cracks spread across its surface, and finally it shattered with a bang.

Stone chips flew everywhere. The land sank, and miserable screams rang out. The blood-colored energy oppressed the void, causing it to tremble.

"Such destructive power," Yang Tian remarked in surprise. That old crone was a Cave Heaven realm expert, yet the Crimson Jade Blood Orb had made her scream.

Yao Xuan was panicked. If that blast had hit him, even if he didn't die, he'd be half-dead.

Gao Yingjie looked at the sinking land and snorted. His body suddenly flickered as he attempted to cross the void.

This place gave him an uneasy feeling. He needed to leave quickly. If something happened to the fragment of the map, it would be a huge trouble.

"Gao Yingjie, do you think you can leave?" Yao Xuan sneered as he saw him trying to cross the void.

Bang! He hit an invisible wall, and his body was bounced back. His face turned grim.

In the hazy void, a pearl emitting vast demonic power continuously radiated surging fluctuations, completely sealing off this region.

"That's a Boundary Pearl," Yang Xiao said at this moment. "It's a consumable treasure that can instantly set up a barrier. Quite rare."

"I see," Yang Tian nodded. This item was indeed rare and good for ambushes.

"Bastard!" From the sunken ground, a disheveled old crone emerged, her body bloody and mutilated, one arm broken off. She had suffered severe injuries.

If not for the golden bowl, she would have lost half her life. The old crone looked at Gao Yingjie with icy eyes.

"Still alive," Gao Yingjie's face darkened further. This was truly troublesome. The area was sealed by the Boundary Pearl, making it impossible to send messages.

"Kill him!" Yao Xuan ordered.

"Hehe..." The old crone laughed coldly, exuding a torrent of venomous resentment. She lunged forward, claws outstretched, to kill Gao Yingjie.

Boom! Yao Xuan's demonic aura surged, twisting and shattering the void. He struck out fiercely, directly attacking Gao Yingjie.

"It's time." Yang Tian's footsteps appeared nearby. He touched his nose, and his entire body silently appeared above the three.

Although the old crone was severely wounded, she could still mobilize the power of rules. Gao Yingjie was beaten until he coughed blood, his aura wilting.

"Young master, he should have the soul imprint of his clan on him. I think we should suppress him directly, take the item, and return to the clan."

"Well said." With the treasure within reach, Yao Xuan nodded eagerly. If he obtained the map fragment, his status in the Tianyao Pavilion would rise steadily.
