172: Chapter 172 Emperor Taiyin!

Soul Nurturing Domain.

In the Corpse Nurturing Abyss.

Extreme Yin Qi rampaged, eroding everything here; an aura cold enough to make the Divine Soul feel a thorough chill slowly rose from below.

Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming exchanged a glance, and Magic Treasures were sacrificed from their bodies one after another.

In one hand, Shen Xuansheng held the mysterious yellow exquisite pagoda, while in the other, he grasped the seven treasures wonderful tree; in Ji Wuming's hand, he gripped a Blood Fiend Blade, and the blood-fiend aura on the blade immediately began to spread.

The two of them stared downward.

Waves of pure Extreme Yin Qi became increasingly dense, almost forming a liquid state in the surroundings.

"Senior Brother, this aura is a bit off!" Ji Wuming said, his voice carrying a hint of wariness as he furrowed his brows.

Sensing the Extreme Yin Qi permeating the surroundings, a sense of unease couldn't help but well up in his heart.

Ji Wuming was more than familiar with this place, but such an eerie aura was unprecedented. This aura was completely different from the corpse-nurturing Yin Qi in the abyss.

Although both were Extreme Yin Qi, the Extreme Yin Qi in the Corpse Nurturing Abyss was pure Yin Fiend, whereas this aura actually seemed to carry a sense of majesty.

Shen Xuansheng also kept his gaze fixed on the surroundings.

He responded coldly, "I can naturally sense it."

A piercing cold light flickered in his eyes as he said, "This aura doesn't originate from the energy fluctuations inherent to this abyss itself; it's more like it's emanating from some existence below."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly trying to peer through the darkness to see what was hidden within.

After a moment of silence, Shen Xuansheng continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, the thing below is very likely to have countless ties with the Taiyin Sect. After all, I have personally experienced such dense Yin of the Moon Qi from Revered Master. Looking at the entire Divine Continent Realm, aside from certain extremely special regions, perhaps only the Taiyin Sect's Taiyin True Scripture could possess such an aura..."

Just as Shen Xuansheng's words fell, a weak voice clearly came from below.

"Save me..."

"Save me..."

Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming were both stunned simultaneously. Then, from beneath the abyss, a thing completely entangled in black silk threads flew out, reaching out a hand toward the two of them: "Save me..."

Seeing this, Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming both retreated rapidly, putting some distance between themselves and the other party.

"Who are you?" Shen Xuansheng asked coldly.

Those black silk threads sank into the other party's body, yet no blood flowed out. It wasn't a Magic Treasure, but rather seemed like some kind of energy.

"The power of Luck."

"You have the power of Luck on you... save me..."

The other party's mind didn't seem very clear. A pair of pupils filled with black lines stared at Shen Xuansheng, repeatedly speaking.

Hearing this.

Shen Xuansheng's heart tightened. This body of his practiced the Dao of Immortal Heaven, while the power of Luck was on his True Body. His current self had no power of Luck at all, yet the other party actually told him he had the power of Luck!

"Senior Brother, this fellow's strength is certainly not weak. Even in such a state, he has the strength of the Early Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal. If it weren't for these black lines, he'd probably be close to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, right?" Ji Wuming swallowed hard and said solemnly.

Shen Xuansheng watched the other party without making a move. The newcomer's identity was unknown, and he was no saint. To save the other party just like that, what if... Just as Shen Xuansheng intended to leave, the long-silent voice of the patronage system rang in his ear.

"patronage system, task triggering."

"Help the creature in the black lines escape. Reward: One ancestral dragon gift pack."

"ancestral dragon gift pack: One portion of Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, one Ancestral Dragon Great Divine Ability, one set of ancestral dragon bone, as well as the complete Ancestral Dragon Cultivation Technique, the Ancestral Dragon Scripture!"

After hearing the System's voice.

Shen Xuansheng stared at the other party, his eyes wide.

"What on earth is this fellow?"

To actually make the System give such a generous reward? Since obtaining this System, this was arguably the first time Shen Xuansheng had encountered such a bountiful reward from the System!!

"Save him!"

After weighing the options, Shen Xuansheng had no reason not to save him. However, a Jade Slip carrying Sword Qi appeared in Shen Xuansheng's hand, ready to be crushed at any moment: "I don't believe you can be stronger than my Revered Master!!"

The other party's strength was too great. To be safe, Shen Xuansheng was prepared to summon his Revered Master at any time!

"Senior Brother, how about we retreat?" Ji Wuming asked.

Shen Xuansheng shook his head. "This fellow being here is always a hidden danger. This place is to become our corpse-nurturing ground in the future. If he's always here, who knows what might happen later."

"Step back!"

Ji Wuming immediately frowned and said, "But this fellow's strength..."

Shen Xuansheng took a deep breath. "No matter!"

"If he truly harbors hostility, I will immediately summon Revered Master. Even if he can kill me in an instant, I guarantee not a single one of his Bloodlines in the Divine Continent Realm will remain!"

Shen Xuansheng put away his Magic Treasures and spoke, "Relax your mind. I will use the power of Luck to wash away these black lines!"

The other party seemed to understand Shen Xuansheng's words. In an instant, the black lines on his body actually increased rapidly. Obviously, this fellow was resisting the erosion of these black lines; now that he relaxed, the black lines became violent.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~!"

The screams of the creature within the black lines were incessant!

Shen Xuansheng formed hand seals. "True Body!"

"Give me the power of Luck!"

Boom!

On Shen Xuansheng's body, a golden radiance soared into the sky, and a majestic vitality completely covered the Extreme Yin Qi in the abyss!

"Go!"

Shen Xuansheng struck toward the other party with a palm. The moment the golden power of Luck touched the black lines, the black lines actually let out a strange scream. Hearing this sound, it actually had the ability to stir the Divine Soul!!

"Wa!"

Hearing this sound, Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming both spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time; their Divine Souls felt as if they were about to be pulled out.

A terrifying power lingered around them.

"Die!"

Shen Xuansheng struck out another palm. This time, the black lines melted rapidly, like ice meeting hot iron. Along with the screams of the black lines, the creature covered by them gradually revealed his true appearance.

A man in black and white robes.

The man's hair was also black and white, as if Yin and Yang were born together.

Watching the black lines on his body disappear, the man finally looked up. His gaze fixed on Shen Xuansheng, a bitter smile appeared on his weak face as he spoke, "Little friend, thank you!"

When the black lines completely vanished, the power of Luck on Shen Xuansheng's body also dissipated.

"Senior, who are you? And what are these black lines?" Shen Xuansheng looked at the other party, secretly on guard as he asked.

The man exhaled a breath of turbid air and spoke weakly, "Just a rebellious disciple who wanted me to die here!"

"However, thank you, little friend."

"As for who I am..."

The man gave a self-deprecating laugh. "A full thirty thousand years... little friend, your age is but a few hundred years, and this is not the east of the East Sea. You probably haven't heard my name."

"My name is Emperor Taiyin!"

After Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming exchanged a glance, Emperor Taiyin spoke again.

"Taiyin Sect, Sect Leader!"
