272: Chapter 272 The Golden Roc Shoots the Sun with its Bow!

A sharp light flashed in Ye Changge's eyes.

The next moment—

The aura around his body changed once again!

The Spiritual Pressure, which was already incredibly thick, surged once more like a river bursting its banks! Yin-Yang Qi erupted from his body, spiraling and intertwining around him, transforming into a black-and-white Qi dragon that let out a low roar!

During this time, he had first absorbed the yang Origin of Xiao Caiyue's Dragon Yang Body, and later unexpectedly obtained Nangong Zili's yin Origin—though it was a forced "gift," it was still the Primordial Yin Power of a Core Formation Stage female Cultivator, pure and majestic.

Two completely opposite yet top-tier Origin powers merged and collided within him. After being harmonized and refined by the Yin Yang Creation Art, his Yin-Yang Dao Foundation had reached an unprecedented state of perfect balance!

Yin and Yang complemented each other, endlessly regenerating.

This not only made his cultivation more stable but also more than doubled his combat strength!

"Yin-Yang One Qi Grand Capture!"

Ye Changge wasted no more words and struck out with a single palm!

Majestic Yin-Yang Qi surged from his palm, condensing in mid-air into a black-and-white giant hand several meters wide! This giant hand was even more solid than the one used against the two Bandit Cultivators earlier; its five fingers were distinct, palm lines clear, and one could even vaguely see the trajectories of the Yin-Yang Qi flowing within.

As soon as the giant hand appeared, it carried a terrifying might that suppressed all directions, passing through the gaps in the sky-filling Sword Qi and grabbing straight for Meng Zilang!

Everywhere it passed, the air was crushed, producing explosive booms!

Facing the giant Yin-Yang hand, Meng Zilang's pupils suddenly constricted!

An unprecedented sense of crisis flooded his heart, as if he were being targeted by some ancient Vicious Beast; even his Divine Soul trembled slightly!

Is this... Aura Pressure?!

He was horrified.

What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? How could it possibly affect his Divine Soul?!

Although he was in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he had cultivated the orthodox techniques of the Lingxiao Sect since childhood. His Foundation was solid, and his Divine Soul was stable; almost no Cultivator of the same rank could make him feel this level of spiritual oppression!

At this critical moment—

The jade pendant on his chest suddenly lit up with a warm glow!

The light poured into his Sea of Consciousness like a clear spring, instantly dispelling the tremor from the depths of his Divine Soul. Meng Zilang snapped back to his senses, a flash of lingering fear in his eyes.

If this jade pendant hadn't been a protective treasure personally refined for him by his grandfather to resist Divine Soul attacks, that momentary lapse just now would have likely sent him to the Yellow Springs!

"Just who is this person?!"

His heart was filled with doubt and unease, but he didn't dare to be slow with his hands.

He hurriedly took out a silver-glowing Talisman from his Storage Pouch. The moment spiritual power was injected, the Talisman suddenly lit up!

"Escape!"

The next moment, his figure swayed violently, and he instantly disappeared from his spot, reappearing beside a large rock dozens of meters away. The black-and-white giant hand brushed past the edge of his clothes, narrowly missing the strike!

Boom!

The giant hand's momentum didn't decrease as it slammed into the ten-foot-tall hard rock behind Meng Zilang.

A hair-raising scene unfolded—

The seemingly illusory giant Yin-Yang hand actually melted the hard rock silently, like a red-hot iron plunging into butter!

Wisps of blue smoke rose from the rock's surface as it dented and dissolved at a visible rate, finally turning into a pool of black slag that emitted a pungent odor.

Watching this, Meng Zilang was scared out of his wits.

That was hard blue-steel rock tempered by spiritual power, with a hardness comparable to a low-grade Magical Artifact! It actually melted from just a light touch of that giant hand?!

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly:

"You... just who are you?!"

He stared intently at Ye Changge, his mind racing.

The Cultivation Technique the opponent used didn't seem like something a common Loose Cultivator could practice! Such exquisite control over the Yin-Yang Qi and such terrifying Aura Pressure—even the techniques passed down for centuries within the Lingxiao Sect might not compare to it!

Suddenly, he remembered his grandfather's instructions before he left—

"Zilang, there are still some Demonic Path Cultivators in the Zhao State who haven't had time to evacuate. You must be extra careful while traveling. If you encounter someone suspicious, do not linger in battle; retreat quickly."

Could it be...

Meng Zilang's pupils constricted slightly.

Could the person before him be a Demonic Path Cultivator who hasn't evacuated yet?

And judging by the Cultivation Technique he used, he's definitely no ordinary demonic Cultivator! With such methods and strength, he must be someone famous within the Demonic Path!

At this thought, Meng Zilang lost all Battle Intent.

"You just wait!"

He threw out a threat and another Talisman appeared in his hand.

As a second-rank talisman master, Ye Changge recognized the item in the opponent's hand at a glance—a second-rank thousand-mile escape talisman!

Once activated, this Talisman could teleport the user a hundred miles away in an instant, making it an excellent item for escaping and saving one's life.

He's trying to run!

Ye Changge snorted coldly in his heart.

If he didn't act, fine, but if he did, it had to be a certain kill!

Otherwise, leaving behind an enemy who hated him to the bone and had a deep background would surely bring endless trouble to himself and his Family in the future!

"Trying to run?"

He sneered and flicked his sleeve!

In an instant, countless Talismans filed out of his sleeve like butterflies weaving through flowers, intertwining in the air to form an airtight net!

At the same time, a light flashed behind him, and thirty-six heavenly stems jade pivots spun out. It was that Talisman Array Spiritual Artifact—the Myriad Talismans Heavenly Stems Strategy!

As soon as the Spiritual Artifact appeared, those Talismans immediately acted like soldiers receiving orders, lighting up with spiritual light and arranging themselves in a mysterious rhythm, instantly condensing into a Talisman Array covering dozens of meters!

"Release!"

With Ye Changge's low shout, the Talisman Array suddenly lit up!

An invisible force spread from the array, pressing down on Meng Zilang like an invisible giant hand!

Meng Zilang's expression changed drastically.

He discovered that he could no longer activate the Talisman in his hand!

The thousand-mile escape talisman seemed to be suppressed by something; the spiritual power he injected was like a stone sinking into the ocean, vanishing without a trace!

Not only that, but his Divine Sense was also heavily suppressed! His Divine Sense, which could originally cover several miles, was now compressed to a range of about ten feet around him, making it difficult even to perceive the outside world!

"Is this... a Space-Locking Array?!"

Meng Zilang's heart sank.

A Talisman Array capable of suppressing Divine Sense and locking down space was considered a high-end existence even among second-rank talisman Arrays, requiring extremely high attainment in the Talisman Dao from the array master.

The person before him was actually a Talisman Array Master?!

He grit his teeth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"You brat! Do you really think you've got me cornered?!"

Meng Zilang roared, forming hand seals as an ancient Talisman flew out of his Storage Pouch and hovered in front of him!
