117: Chapter 117 Ghost Domain and Netherworld

As Xie Xinxuan unleashed his full strength, the battlefield reached a stalemate!

Senior Blood Fiend was worthy of being the Prodigy that the Liu Family had poured all their resources into cultivating, even while fighting two opponents at once!

He held his own against Mo Yuan and Xie Xinxuan, fighting them to a standstill, showing no signs of defeat for the moment!

Meanwhile, in a desolate valley several miles away.

Liu Tianxi followed closely behind Chen Qingyuan, landing at the bottom of the valley. With a look of cat-and-mouse hatred and glee on his face, he shouted harshly,

"Junior, why aren't you running anymore? Do you know you have no way out and are ready to offer your neck for the slaughter?"

"Uh, why does this sound so familiar!"

Chen Qingyuan turned around slowly, looking somewhat stunned. This scene, these lines... who else had said this to him before?

Seeing that Chen Qingyuan was not only unafraid but actually displayed such an expression, Liu Tianxi was thoroughly enraged.

"How dare you, brat!"

He laughed in extreme anger, said no more, and once again summoned the mountain splitting seal.

A yellow light burst forth, and the giant seal transformed into the size of a house, pressing down directly upon Chen Qingyuan!

This time, he struck in anger, holding nothing back, looking as if he were determined to crush Chen Qingyuan into dust!

There was no time to think!

Chen Qingyuan's expression turned solemn; he quickly formed seals with one hand while chanting incantations in a low voice.

In an instant, with him as the center, a bone-chilling Yin Qi spread out, even causing thin blue frost to form on the ground.

"Netherworld Edict, Supreme Grace! With the Soul Contract as proof, the Spirit Platform connects to the Truth! Yin Armor, answer the summons, manifest and break barriers—Command!"

Following his low shout, the Void Realm beside him twisted violently, as if torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

A slender figure stepped out!

He was clad in a tattered suit of dark iron armor, his pupils devoid of whites as he stared directly at Liu Tianxi.

"Master!" He bowed slightly to Chen Qingyuan.

With just one glance from Yin Armor, Liu Tianxi's hair stood on end!

"What kind of ghost thing is this?!"

He had seen Cultivators, and he had seen living corpses, but he had never heard of a method to directly control ghosts!

Following its advancement to a Ghost General, Yin Armor's intelligence had greatly improved!

Without needing Chen Qingyuan's order, the dark iron spear in its hand had already thrust out!

There were no flashy techniques, only the ultimate power and speed tempered through hundreds of battles!

The spear struck like lightning; a black spear beam arrived first despite being launched later, precisely striking the bottom of the mountain splitting seal.

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar echoed fiercely in the valley, shaking loose sand and stones that fell with a rustle.

The seemingly indestructible mountain splitting seal was actually knocked away by force, its spiritual light flickering violently as it let out a whine!

"What exquisite spear technique!"

With his Magical Artifact damaged, Liu Tianxi's face instantly turned pale!

Yet Yin Armor only swayed slightly before standing firm as a rock once more.

Taking another step forward, the ground cracked. The long spear swung around, carrying the momentum of sweeping across an army and destroying everything in its path, initiating a violent attack against Liu Tianxi!

The wind from the spear whistled, whipping up the Yin Qi into swirling black tornadoes;

forcing Liu Tianxi to recall the mountain splitting seal above his head while simultaneously raising his strongest spiritual power shield, barely managing to parry.

He had completely lost the power to counterattack, left only to struggle in defense.

If Senior Blood Fiend was a Prodigy of the Liu Family, then Liu Tianxi was the one whose growth had been forced.

If not for the cooperation with the Corpse Fiend Sect, given his innate talent, he would have had absolutely no chance of reaching Foundation Establishment in this lifetime!

Seeing Yin Armor fighting with increasing ferocity, the surrounding cold energy threatened to freeze his Divine Sense!

Liu Tianxi was both shocked and angry, and a sense of despair rose in his heart.

"Impossible! What kind of monster are you!"

However, the response he received was Yin Armor knocking away the mountain splitting seal with a single spear strike!

Using the momentum to step forward and close the distance!

The dark iron spear retracted, and those purely pitch-black pupils suddenly opened wide!

Within the eyes, there seemed to be two endless whirlpools connecting to the abyss of the Nine Netherworlds!

"Ghost Domain... Senluo!"

In an instant, with Yin Armor as the center, the world within a radius of ten or more zhang seemed to be swallowed by invisible darkness!

Light was extinguished, sound was cut off, and even Divine Sense probing felt like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to perceive anything.

Liu Tianxi felt his entire body tighten, as if falling into a ten-thousand-foot ice cave. His five senses were stripped away, and the circulation of his spiritual power became incredibly difficult and sluggish!

"Not good!"

Liu Tianxi was terrified to the core; instinctual fear drove him to desperately urge his spiritual power, attempting to break free from this eerie restraint!

But, it was too late!

At the very instant "Ghost Domain Senluo" unfolded, the dark iron spear moved!

Hovering in mid-air, the spear body vibrated, transforming into a flickering black lightning bolt!

"Break!"

The lightning struck! The protective spiritual light shattered upon impact!

"Puchi!"

Following that was the soft sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

"No—!"

A desperate scream rang out!

The black lightning passed through his body, freezing all his terror, unwillingness, and anger!

The mountain splitting seal hovering in the air lost its spiritual light, let out a whine, and "clanged" as it fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Yin Armor reached out and grasped the air; the black lightning bent in mid-air, transforming back into the dark iron spear, which landed obediently back in its hand. The spear was not stained with a single drop of blood, only wreathed in eerie Yin Qi.

Standing outside the battle circle, Chen Qingyuan took it all in.

Although Yin Armor was summoned by his own hand and driven by his Soul Contract, at this moment, witnessing this combat power that crushed Cultivators of the same rank, his heart was still stirred with stormy waves.

No wonder Yin Armor was so confident when facing Mo Yuan; it turned out that, unknowingly, it had become this formidable!

The moment that "Ghost Domain Senluo" unfolded, even he, standing at the edge, felt a palpitation!

This move seemed to already have the prototype of a Divine Ability!

And Divine Ability, generally speaking, required the Purple Mansion Stage to cultivate!

"Is this... the true power of the Ghost General Yin Armor?"

Chen Qingyuan's shock had not yet subsided when he saw Yin Armor nimbly pick up Liu Tianxi's Storage Pouch and retrieve the mountain splitting seal,

turn around, kneel on one knee, and offer the spoils of war to him with both hands.

"Master, I have not failed your mission."

The voice was cold and clear, without a trace of emotion.

Chen Qingyuan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and reached out to take the Storage Pouch and Magical Artifact.

"Well done!"

"You go back first; I will go to support them above."

"As you command."

As the words fell, Yin Armor's figure dissolved into the air like ink into water, disappearing silently, leaving only the cold Yin Qi in the valley, which was soon blown away by the mountain breeze.

Back on the nameless mountain!

Senior Blood Fiend had been fighting for a long time without being defeated, but his mind was becoming increasingly restless, and his gaze frequently swept toward the valley below.

"So much time has passed. With Tianxi's cultivation, even if he were not a match, he should have caused some commotion or found an opportunity to escape..."

"Now that it is so quiet, I fear there is only one possibility—Tianxi has met with misfortune!"

Once this thought arose, a chill shot straight to the top of his head.

That Chen Qingyuan is only at the Qi Refinement Stage, yet he possesses such eerie methods?

Right now, it is two against one, which is already disadvantageous. If another one with unknown methods joins...

"Leave, must leave immediately!"

In his anxiety!

The Bone-Eroding Spirit Spikes were used again, one splitting into three, three into nine, attacking the two of them respectively,

while his figure retreated violently, the Coiled Dragon Golden Bell protecting his body, transforming into an escape light interwoven with golden crows, intending to flee a thousand miles away.

"Want to leave?"

However, how could Mo Yuan and Xie Xinxuan be easy to deal with? They had already judged the situation quite accurately.

Xie Xinxuan's whole body shone with golden light, literally turning into a gleaming golden iron block! He ignored the four black lights coming toward him!

"Earth Vein Dragon Capture!"

At the same time, his hair and beard stood on end, and the Formation Flags flew!

On the mountaintop, the ground shook violently, and several earth-yellow chains burst out from the soil, wrapping layer upon layer around the escape light of Senior Blood Fiend,

like shackles, causing his escape speed to suddenly slow down, as if sinking into a quagmire.

At this fleeting moment!

Mo Yuan suddenly stopped!
