89: A clash of divine senses, a physical confrontation with a Golden Core cultivator.

It was a Soul Thorn steeped in strangeness and deathly silence, formless and intangible, piercing through the flying boat's third-tier defensive light barrier. Like a ghostly whisper, it struck directly at Shen Yuanmo's glabella and Sea of Consciousness.

The timing of the attacker's move was impeccable.

Deep within the canyon, it was precisely the moment when a Cultivator's mind was most susceptible to resonating with the environment, leading to a slight lapse in vigilance.

This 'Extinguishing Death Soul Thorn' was the signature technique of a Netherworld Path 'Earth' rank assassin, specially prepared to hunt powerful Cultivators.

Not a few Golden Core Immortal Masters had died under this move.

The assailant could almost foresee that the Foundation Establishment Stage Prodigy would, in the next moment, become a warm corpse with his Divine Soul annihilated.

However, the moment that strange Soul Thorn entered Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness...

An anomaly suddenly occurred!

The expected overwhelming destruction did not happen.

The Soul Thorn seemed to have crashed into an ancient, unmoving divine mountain!

In the center of Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious nine-grade golden lotus platform trembled slightly, as if stung by a mosquito.

"Om—"

A Buddhist chant, seemingly from the primordial era, resounded thunderously within the Sea of Consciousness space!

Above the lotus platform, myriad golden runes flowed out, converging into a vast golden tide.

Not only did it wash away, crush, and purify the malevolent Soul Thorn, but it also, following that faint Divine Soul link, fiercely counterattacked!

"Pfft!"

In the shadows a thousand zhang below, a black figure hidden in a distortion of light suddenly trembled, and a mouthful of blood surged out from his nose and mouth without warning!

His brain felt as if it had been struck by a ten-thousand-jin heavy hammer. Under the intense pain, golden stars burst before his eyes, and even the painstakingly maintained stealth secret technique collapsed instantly.

His figure was completely exposed!

"How... is this possible?!"

The Netherworld Path assassin, a genuine Early Golden Core Stage Immortal Master, was now filled with horror and absurdity.

His 'Extinguishing Death Soul Thorn'... was broken?

No, it wasn't broken!

It was crushed back by a higher-level, more overbearing Divine Soul power!

How could a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator's Divine Soul cultivation be so terrifying?

The intelligence was wrong! A huge mistake!

Before he could break free from the excruciating pain of the Divine Soul backlash,

A cold, emotionless voice, like a death god's pronouncement, rang out above his head.

"So you finally decided to come out, you rat."

The Netherworld Path assassin looked up in horror.

He saw Shen Yuanmo, who had appeared at the bow of the black flying boat at some unknown point, looking down at him from above.

Not good!

Alarm bells rang wildly in the black figure's heart, and he was scared out of his wits!

He instantly understood that the other party hadn't discovered him by chance, but had been waiting for him to make a move from the very beginning!

He was the prey that had walked right into the trap!

"Damn it!"

The sneak attack failed, his whereabouts were exposed, and the Golden Core Assassin's ferocity was completely unleashed.

Without any further hope, he roared, his Golden Core frantically circulating within his body, and majestic black magical power surged into the sky!

"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

He spread his five fingers, and a black ghost claw, condensed from pure Golden Core magical power and wreathed in countless painful wails,

Tore through the sky, carrying a terrifying might that could crush mountains, and fiercely grabbed towards the flying boat in mid-air!

He wanted to tear this boat, along with the monster that made him fear, into pieces!

Facing this strike, which was enough to make any Foundation Establishment Cultivator despair, Shen Yuanmo's expression didn't even ripple.

He didn't even bother to activate the crimson sun sword at his waist.

He simply stepped forward from the bow of the flying boat.

"Scram!"

A low shout, words like thunder.

He activated the Vajra Glazed Body, which he had just begun to Cultivate, but was already showing its formidable power!

"Crackling!"

A series of bone-cracking sounds, like popping beans, emanated from his body, and an explosive force of blood and Qi, far exceeding what any Foundation Establishment Cultivator could imagine, awakened like a volcano!

He raised his right fist, and the skin on his arm instantly turned a deep dark gold, as if cast from divine metal, filled with power and an immortal aesthetic!

No magical power, no spiritual light.

Only pure, explosive Physical Body strength!

Facing the terrifying black ghost claw descending from the sky, he did not dodge or evade, meeting it with a single punch!

"Idiot! How dare you use your Physical Body to directly block this Venerable One's Spell!"

The Golden Core Assassin was stunned at first, then a sinister grin spread across his face.

In his opinion, this was undoubtedly an ant trying to shake a tree, seeking death!

The next moment—

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dark golden fist and the massive black ghost claw collided squarely.

There was no scene of flesh and blood flying as expected.

What came was a grating, crisp 'crack' sound, like shattering glazed glass!

The indestructible black ghost claw, condensed from Golden Core magical power, had its Demonic Path runes instantly become chaotic and collapse the moment it touched Shen Yuanmo's fist!

A domineering and incredibly powerful fist force, with an unstoppable momentum, tore through the entire ghost claw like a hot knife through butter!

"Bang—"

The gigantic ghost claw, like a lit, poor-quality firecracker, exploded inch by inch from the point of contact, finally bursting into a sky full of chaotic black Qi!

"Wh... what?!"

The sinister grin on the Golden Core Assassin's face completely stiffened and froze.

His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets as he stared intently at Shen Yuanmo's dark golden fist, which was... completely intact, without even a single white mark.

His mind was blank.

One punch!

With nothing but pure Physical Body strength, he actually shattered his full-power Golden Core Stage attack with one punch?!

Is this... is this really a human body?!

Fear!

An unprecedented, Soul-freezing fear, wildly sprouted from the deepest part of this Golden Core Assassin's heart, devouring all his Battle Intent and ferocity.

Prodigy?

What Prodigy?! Those bastards from Heavenly Secret Pavilion labeled a primordial Vicious Beast cub in human skin as a Prodigy!

Escape!

Must escape!

This was the only thought left in his mind.

He no longer dared to look at Shen Yuanmo again, fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, spat out a mouthful of vital essence blood, and turned to transform into a bloody escape light, desperately fleeing into the endless dense forest below!

"Trying to run now?"

Shen Yuanmo's cold voice, like a life-claiming Talismanic Incantation, rang out behind him.

"Too late."

"Clang!"

A clear and resonant sword cry pierced the clouds, overpowering the wind and beast roars in the mountains!

The crimson sun sword finally unsheathed, transforming into a brilliant golden long rainbow that streaked across the heavens and earth. Its speed was actually a touch faster than the blood evasion technique that burned vital essence blood!

Arriving later, but striking first!

"No! Your Excellency, spare..."

The Golden Core Assassin only managed to let out a panicked, distorted plea for mercy.

"Pfft!"

The golden sword rainbow, carrying the might to purify all, had already pierced through his back!

Attached to the sword body was the ultimate Yang and most rigid Glazed True Yang Fire!

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream, not sounding human, only lasted for half a breath before it abruptly stopped.

The Early Golden Core Stage Netherworld Path assassin, along with his Golden Core that had not yet left his body, and his Divine Soul that was frantically trying to escape,

Under the burning of the Glazed True Yang Fire, couldn't even last for a single breath before being purified into the most primitive particles.

Both body and Soul annihilated!

Within the canyon, tranquility returned, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Yuanmo's figure flickered, appearing at the spot where the assassin was annihilated, and expressionlessly absorbed a remaining Storage Pouch into his hand.

His Divine Sense probed it, and a moment later, he took out a black iron token.
