958: Chapter 959 Joint Action

That black-and-white beam of light didn't seem particularly grand or majestic, yet it carried a terrifying 'magnetic' quality that made space itself tremble and Laws twist!

They swept silently through the Void Realm; wherever they passed, space was torn, stretched, and distorted as if by an invisible, titanic force!

Chii—!

The phantom of the Third Strike, which contained the Law of Curses and struck directly at the Divine Soul, the moment it contacted that black-and-white beam,

was like snow meeting a blazing sun. With a soft sound, it was directly decomposed and annihilated by that eerie Yin and Yang Magnetic Force!

Not even a single ripple was produced!

Weng—!

The double fists of the Fourth Strike, which disrupted Yin and Yang and invoked the Law of Chaos, suddenly spiraled out of control as they neared the beam!

The violent Law of Chaos was forcibly smoothed and suppressed by the higher-level Law of Yin-Yang Balance contained within the black-and-white beam!

Those twin demonic fists seemed to fall into an invisible quagmire; their speed plummeted, and their power took a nosedive!

Yao Delong flipped his palm and easily slapped them away with his majestic blood and Qi!

Rumble!

On the other side, the Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Palm also collided fiercely with the Second Strike, the Sky-Shattering Fist Drill, triggering another violent explosion!

Sha Wuji's three-strike combo, which he had been certain would succeed, was actually blocked head-on by Yao Delong using Divine Fire in his left hand and Profound Light in his right!

Simultaneously unleashing two earth-shattering techniques, he held his ground! They were evenly matched!

Hiss—!

The entire battlefield, friend and foe alike, fell into a dead silence! Only the sound of people drawing in sharp breaths could be heard!

Sha Wuji froze completely in place. His slanted eyes, filled with ferocity, bulged wide, and the scar on his face twitched violently!

“Good! What a Gray-Robed Man!” Sha Wuji's voice carried a hint of hoarseness and shock that even he didn't notice.

“To think you've combined your physical blood and Qi with the Law of Yin and Yang to such an extent!

I have dominated for a lifetime, and you are the first person in the Void Refining Realm who could force me to this point!”

His gaze became incredibly dangerous, like a prehistoric Vicious Beast eyeing its prey: “However... the killing moves that follow won't be so easy to take!”

Above Blood Sea City, there was a deathly silence! Every gaze was frozen on the core of that shattered space!

The scar on Sha Wuji's face twitched violently as he stared fixedly at the grey-robed figure ahead, his eyes looking as if he had seen a ghost!

His Fifth Strike, Ghost-God Slaughter, into which he had poured the Law of Destruction and his Body Integration Middle Stage Peak Demonic Essence—

that invisible mental shockwave, capable of causing a Cultivator of the same rank's Primordial Spirit to shatter and turn them into a walking corpse, was actually... ineffective?!

Just as that terrifying mental pressure was about to touch Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

Weng!

The seemingly simple and unadorned taixu primordial spirit crown atop Yao Delong's head suddenly lit up!

An invisible and intangible 'Qi' that seemed capable of encompassing all the Laws of the Heavens suddenly descended!

Within three feet of his body, it formed a Yin-Yang Return-to-Void field that was completely undetectable to the naked eye, yet incredibly real!

That Primordial Spirit shockwave, containing endless malice and destructive will, was like a violent, raging tide crashing against an eternal dam!

Chii chii chii—!

A scalp-numbing sound of dissolution echoed on the Soul level!

Over seventy percent of the mental shock, the moment it touched that Return-to-Void field,

was forcibly decomposed and returned to nothingness by the higher-level Five Elements and Yin-Yang Laws circulating within it, as if it had never existed!

The remaining thirty percent of the mental shock, like invisible poison needles, finally pierced into Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

“Hmph!” Yao Delong snorted coldly, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple!

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the phantom of the Heart Sword, suspended above the lake of his heart and polished from pure will, only trembled slightly!

Zheng—!

A clear sword cry that only Yao Delong himself could 'hear' echoed in his Sea of Consciousness!

Those 'needles' of spirit, containing a vicious curse capable of corroding the Divine Soul, were like snow meeting a bright sun,

instantly ground to dust by that invisible and intangible mental Sword Intent that cut through all falsehood! Not even a single ripple could be produced!

To outsiders, it only looked as if a layer of extremely faint, hard-to-catch strange light flashed around the Gray-Robed Man, and then... there was no then!

Sha Wuji's terrifying killing move, capable of slaughtering gods and exterminating ghosts, had actually vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea!

“This... how is this possible?!” For the first time, Sha Wuji's arrogant and overbearing face completely lost control as he cried out in shock!

He felt it clearly!

The process of the opponent neutralizing his Fifth Strike wasn't a confrontation of brute force, but... a dimensional reduction strike on the Primordial Spirit level!

That fleeting screen of light simultaneously contained Five Elements Laws and Yin-Yang Laws that were refined to a hair-raising degree!

Cultivating either of these two Laws to a profound level was as difficult as ascending to heaven, yet this person could control both simultaneously and even integrate them into his defense?!

An indescribable chill rose for the first time from the bottom of Sha Wuji's bloodthirsty heart! This Gray-Robed Man was too eerie! Too dangerous!

Sha Wuji's thoughts raced! The final two strikes of the Asura Seven Killing Fists—the Sixth Strike, World-Ending Lament, and the Seventh Strike, Path of No-Self!

Once unleashed, their power would indeed be earth-shattering, enough to briefly erupt with a terrifying combat strength comparable to the Late Stage of Body Integration!

But at what cost? It required burning a large amount of life-essence blood and falling into a completely insane 'No-Self' state where he couldn't distinguish friend from foe!

Furthermore, his Origin Qi would surely be heavily damaged afterward, and his Realm would drop!

On this Blood Sea City battlefield, surrounded by powerful enemies and with the possibility of other experts hiding nearby... was it worth it?

A shadow crossed Sha Wuji's hideous, scarred face. He instantly made a decision!

“Old Zhu!” An extremely secretive Divine Thought transmission, laced with intense wariness, instantly pierced into the shadows of another distorted space.

“The target is too tough! This grey-robed guy is incredibly wicked! The cost of my final two strikes is too high!

In a moment, I will feign the Aura of the Sixth Strike. You seize the opportunity and use your 'Karma Dao' to burn him to death! We will combine our strength and take him down in one hit!”

In the shadows, Zhu Wuneng's small eyes flickered with the ghostly light of a venomous snake, and he nodded silently.

Taking down this mysterious Gray-Robed Man and opening a breach in Blood Sea City was a death order from the Cult Master!

“Roar—!!!”

Sha Wuji took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck dry all the Devilish Qi on the entire battlefield!

His already mountain-like body expanded another circle, and the blood-colored demonic runes beneath his skin flowed like living magma!

A terrifying Aura, far exceeding any previous punch and carrying the scent of destruction and finality, exploded outward!

His fists were clenched tight, and the space around him shattered inch by inch as if unable to withstand the pressure!

That ferocious Aura truly seemed as though he was about to unleash the world-destroying Sixth Strike!

Yao Delong's gaze reached the Peak of solemnity! He could clearly feel the 'world-ending' level of madness and destruction contained within the opponent's fist intent!

If the Sixth Strike truly descended, its power would definitely reach the threshold of the Late Stage of Body Integration!

His physical blood and Qi surged, the three Great Sun Divine Wheels behind him spun rapidly, and the Law of Yin and Yang coursed incessantly through his body, instantly raising his state to an unprecedented Peak!

He prepared to meet this earth-shaking blow!

“Asura Extinction...!” Sha Wuji's roar shook the heavens!

But just as the word 'Extinction' fell, in the thousandth of a microsecond before that world-destroying fist intent was about to explode!

Zheng—!

An ear-piercing, shrill blade cry suddenly rang out! It didn't come from the fist! It came from Sha Wuji's own hands!
