180: Counterattack

Compared to the Golden Core's eight hundred years of Lifespan, a Nascent Soul True Lord has a full fifteen hundred years!

This brought him one step closer to eternal life.

As for an unstable Realm, that was not within Li Xiangyun's consideration.

Because ever since he finished comprehending Yin and Yang Dao Intent, he had already grasped the prototype of a Domain.

The reason it hadn't fully formed was simply that he hadn't decided what kind of Domain he wanted to create.

After all, a Domain was related to a Cultivator's future path and he could not be careless.

However, upon seeing the Nine Netherworld Divided Fire, Li Xiangyun now had an inspiration.

But before that, he still needed to deal with the Netherworld Devil Monarch.

After all, breaking through to Nascent Soul was far more dangerous than breaking through to Golden Core Peak; a slight oversight could lead to failure, and no hidden danger could be overlooked.

And now that his Cultivation had broken through, his Divine Soul strength had also increased significantly, and he was capable of dealing with the Netherworld Devil Monarch.

Thus, Li Xiangyun looked at the Netherworld Devil Monarch outside the barrier, a glint of bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

"Old dog, you've lived long enough, it's time to die!"

And through the arrangements of this Secret Realm, he had already guessed that from the initial Bone-Eating Chi, to the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother, and finally the Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor.

Their main purpose was to screen out talented individuals for easy Possession.

If that was the case, then what if he did the opposite!?

Because he could sense that the Dao Intent cultivated by the Netherworld Devil Monarch contained The Meaning of Life and Death, if he could devour and absorb the Netherworld Devil Monarch's Divine Soul imprint.

Then, with the Netherworld Devil Monarch's Cultivation, it would definitely allow him to elevate his comprehension of The Meaning of Life and Death to a higher level.

At the same time, the Netherworld Devil Monarch's Divine Soul imprint could also enhance his Soul Power, providing assistance for his upcoming Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

And this was probably the main reason Cang Lanzi hadn't helped him expel the Netherworld Devil Monarch.

No sooner said than done!

Li Xiangyun no longer simply resisted, but instead drove the Yin-Yang Life-Death Dao Intent, like an invisible net, actively enveloping the ghost shadows outside his Sea of Consciousness.

As the Dao Intent circulated, the originally fierce Yin-Sha power was forcibly stripped of its evil attributes, transforming into wisps of pure black flowing light, which were slowly absorbed along the Divine Soul Texture.

In just an instant, he felt an extremely vast Soul Power, and with the help of this Soul Power, his Divine Soul, which had just stabilized, once again grew at an extremely fast rate.

This caused a flicker of joy in Li Xiangyun's heart, so he immediately increased the absorption.

It was evident that the Yin-Yang Life-Death Dao Intent had a miraculous effect on residual souls like the Netherworld Devil Monarch, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to persist for so long before.

"Damn you, Li Xiangyun, what do you want to do?" The Netherworld Devil Monarch sensed something was wrong and immediately shrieked in panic.

"Old dog, since you're so eager to Possess, then I won't be polite!"

Li Xiangyun ignored the Netherworld Devil Monarch's shriek and drove the Taiji vortex to slowly expand outwards.

The power of life and death at the edge of the vortex, like living tendrils, extended countless fine threads, wrapping around the Netherworld Qi like a spiderweb.

It transformed into pure Soul Power, integrating into his Sea of Consciousness, which was already quite large, and once again expanded outwards at an extremely fast rate.

At the same time, the effect of the spirit marrow liquid was still at play, causing his Cultivation to continue growing rapidly.

If this continued, he believed it wouldn't be long before he once again touched the Realm's Bottleneck.

And by then, he would be a Nascent Soul True Lord... This made Li Xiangyun look at the Netherworld Devil Monarch with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"You dare!" The Demonic Lord's roar for the first time carried terror.

He watched helplessly as his Divine Soul Origin was devoured bit by bit, yet he was firmly locked by that strange Yin-Yang Dao Intent, unable to break free.

At this moment, it was as if their roles had been swapped; Li Xiangyun was the great Devil Head, while the Netherworld Devil Monarch had become a weak and helpless little white rabbit.

This made Li Xiangyun feel a bit amused, but he had no intention of letting the Netherworld Devil Monarch go.

Instead, he laughed mockingly, "You'll see if I dare!"

Saying that, he continued to increase the intensity of absorption and conversion.

"Damn it." Seeing that the situation was dire, the Netherworld Devil Monarch immediately planned to escape.

Although this Soul Seal was only a sub-soul of his, it was his Origin sub-soul.

If he lost it, there was no doubt that it would make his already weak Divine Soul even weaker, and by then, he probably wouldn't even be able to Possess Lin Ye.

That's right, seeing that it was difficult to Possess Li Xiangyun, the Netherworld Devil Monarch had set his sights on Lin Ye.

After all, Space Dao Intent and Star Dao Intent were also good.

Although resurrection would be more difficult then, there was still a way in the end.

But how could Cang Lanzi let him have his way.

Just as the Netherworld Devil Monarch was about to escape, he hadn't even left Li Xiangyun's body yet.

Just then, a brilliant blue rune lit up outside Li Xiangyun's body.

Immediately after, a cage-like light net enveloped Li Xiangyun's body, airtight. The moment the Netherworld Devil Monarch crashed into the light curtain, he was like a red-hot branding iron, instantly emitting sizzling white smoke.

"Damn you, Cang Lanzi!" The Netherworld Devil Monarch roared.

Seeing his retreat sealed, a fierce glint flashed in the Netherworld Devil Monarch's eyes, "Since I can't leave, then we'll just perish together!" He suddenly turned his head to stare at the Taiji vortex at the core of the Sea of Consciousness, his ghostly face and fangs fully revealed.

Immediately, the ink-colored Qi mass suddenly expanded a hundredfold, and countless twisted ghost shadows drilled out from the Qi mass, each ghostly face carrying the madness of perishing together.

All the ghost shadows condensed into a pitch-black light pillar at the center of the Qi mass, and then shot towards Li Xiangyun's Sea of Consciousness.

"Perish together? You're not worthy!"

Li Xiangyun sneered, and the Yin and Yang vortex suddenly accelerated, the power of life and death colliding in the center of the vortex, creating a brilliant glow.

If the Netherworld Devil Monarch had fought so desperately from the beginning, he might not have been able to stop him.

But unfortunately, now that his Divine Soul had grown significantly with his Cultivation Breakthrough, plus the recent absorption of the Netherworld Devil Monarch.

Now, he was no longer someone the Netherworld Devil Monarch could shake by fighting to the death.

As expected, as the black light pillar struck the Yin and Yang vortex, there was no earth-shattering roar, only extreme annihilation.

The myriad ghostly phantoms melted inch by inch under the Yin and Yang vortex, and the pitch-black light pillar was peeled away layer by layer by the two-colored light flow, transforming into Li Xiangyun's nourishment.

However, Li Xiangyun also saw that the Netherworld Devil Monarch's desperate struggle was fake; more than anything, he wanted to use this to consume his Soul Power, not wanting to make a wedding dress for him.

To this, Li Xiangyun was helpless and could only wholeheartedly absorb the overflowing Soul Power to strengthen himself.

And just as Li Xiangyun and the Netherworld Devil Monarch were in a stalemate.

On the other side, Lin Ye and the others finally met up with the main force.

However, the main force at this time also appeared extremely miserable.
