198: Making wedding dresses for others

"Caw!"

The Golden Phoenix Phantom inside the bead seemed to come alive, letting out a clear, penetrating Phoenix cry that could pierce metal and shatter stone.

The entire Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven Bead burst forth with light, transforming into a golden-red interwoven stream of light. It instantly tore through the short spatial distance, appearing directly in front of the Magma Crystal Tortoise's forehead as if teleporting.

"Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven, detonate!"

Following Liu Mingxuan's roar, a ring of dark golden flame halo rapidly spread around the Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven Bead, trapping the Tortoise.

The Tortoise roared in anger but was unable to break free for the moment.

Almost simultaneously with Liu Mingxuan unleashing the Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven Bead, Elder Mo on the other side also showed a trace of determination in his eyes. His withered body surged with black Evil Qi, converging wildly toward his chest.

His ten fingers rapidly flickered, tracing mysterious bloody trajectories, and then he spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

The Essence Blood condensed in the air into an incredibly complex, constantly twisting crimson skull rune.

"Nine Mother-Son Yin Soul Fiends, appear!"

Following Elder Mo's sharp shout, the Crimson Skull Rune suddenly imprinted itself upon the Void Realm in front of him. With a soft hum, nine black threads, thin as hair and nearly transparent, silently drilled out from it.

As soon as these nine black threads appeared, the surrounding firelight seemed to dim slightly, and even the air condensed into fine black ice crystals.

This was Elder Mo's Lifebound Treasure, forged after eighty years of painstaking effort, collecting the "Mother-Son Yin Fiends" born from nine types of extremely Yin lands, supplemented by countless living souls and vengeful spirits, and repeatedly refined and nurtured with his own Natal Essence.

This Magic Treasure was incredibly sinister and poisonous, shapeless and intangible, capable of penetrating most Spiritual Power Shields.

What was even more terrifying was its inherent strange characteristic of "mother-son mutual generation." Once one strand of Fiend Silk invaded the body or the core of a Magic Treasure, the other eight strands would be drawn in like maggots attached to bone, instantly erupting and dismantling the defenses from within, making it utterly malicious.

However, the conditions for refining this treasure were extremely harsh; only those who were ruthless and cruel could succeed.

This Elder Mo had used this Magic Treasure to covertly kill many experts of the same cultivation level.

But at this moment, his face was pale, clearly indicating that activating This Technique required enormous consumption.

A ruthless look flashed in his eyes. He pointed his fingers like a sword, aiming remotely at the relatively vulnerable junction between the Magma Crystal Tortoise's neck and belly scales.

"Go!"

The nine nearly invisible Yin Soul Fiend Silks flickered slightly, appearing on the side of the Tortoise's neck, which was covered in fine scales.

Seeing this, Li Feiyu frantically activated the soul defilement banner. The largest Main Ghost Face on the banner surface let out a painful and sharp roar, actually flying off the banner surface and transforming into a massive ghost head. It opened its mouth and spat out a Fiend Lightning bolt, striking directly at the Tortoise's other eye.

Although the Magma Crystal Tortoise was powerful, being simultaneously struck in vital areas by attacks from three Lifebound Treasures, it couldn't help but let out an angry cry of pain, and its massive body was blasted backward slightly.

Just at this moment, a subtle yet clear Spatial Tremor sounded.

The seemingly solid crimson rock wall suddenly became transparent like water ripples, opening up a bizarre and colorful passage entrance barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

Behind the entrance, one could vaguely see not scorching magma, but a strange space filled with light points resembling stars.

"Go!" Lin Feng whispered, not hesitating at all. He wrapped his arm around Fang Lingyao's waist and shot into the fluctuating watery membrane like lightning.

"Trying to run?! Dream on!" Li Feiyu's roar was almost a reflex.

The lesson from Zen Sound Temple was etched into his memory, so this time, he had already placed most of his attention on Lin Feng, guarding against exactly this move.

Therefore, Lin Feng's earlier secret attempt to break the Formation had completely failed to escape his perception.

He completely ignored the still-raging Tortoise and paid no heed to the surging Qi and blood within him. Pushing his Movement Technique to the extreme, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and plunged headlong into the rapidly closing passage entrance, closely following Lin Feng's figure.

"The entrance!"

"It's a Formation!"

While forcing the Tortoise back, Liu Mingxuan and Elder Mo immediately noticed the violent spatial fluctuation behind them and the disappearance of Lin Feng and Li Feiyu.

The two were both shocked and furious! The Opportunity they had fought desperately to create had actually ended up serving others!

"Bastard!" Liu Mingxuan was so angry he nearly spat blood, but his reaction was swift. He recalled the Crimson Phoenix Burning Heaven Bead to guard his body and transformed into a stream of fire, rushing toward the entrance.

Elder Mo was even more cunning; his figure directly merged into the shadows, attempting to slip inside.

However, just as Liu Mingxuan and Elder Mo were about to reach the entrance, the Magma Crystal Tortoise recovered from its pain and let out an even more ferocious roar. It seemed to realize someone had trespassed into the Forbidden Ground, and its giant claw suddenly slammed toward the area near the entrance.

"Rumble!!"

The rock walls surrounding the entrance collapsed, and space violently twisted.

Liu Mingxuan and Elder Mo were swept by the aftermath of this power, their forward momentum abruptly halted. They were shaken so badly that their Qi and blood churned, and they could only watch helplessly as the passage entrance violently flickered a few times before completely vanishing.

The rock wall returned to its original state, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

"Ah!!!" Liu Mingxuan roared unwillingly.

Elder Mo's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

The scene behind the entrance suddenly changed. A refreshing aura rushed forward, replacing the scorching Fire Evil Qi from outside.

Lin Feng, with his arm around Fang Lingyao's waist, landed steadily on the ground, which was paved with jade-like flooring.

He quickly released his hand, spread out his Divine Sense, and immediately brought the surrounding environment under his control.

This was a massive Underground Cavern, exceptionally wide, as if the entire mountain belly had been hollowed out.

The ceiling of the cavern was inlaid with countless crystals emitting a soft starlight, illuminating the entire space like stars in the night sky.

Inside the cavern, several diverging paths extended into the darkness, and the aura emanating from each path was distinctly different.

The leftmost path was filled with rushing heat, and faint crimson light could be seen flowing in the depths.

The rightmost path, however, was filled with gusts of Yin Wind, causing even the Divine Soul to feel cold.

With a "thump," Li Feiyu's somewhat disheveled figure also rushed in right behind them, staggering a step before stabilizing upon landing.

He glared at Lin Feng and Fang Lingyao, the soul defilement banner wreathed in black Evil Qi, ready to strike at any moment.

Lin Feng didn't even spare him a glance. His eyes swept over the diverging paths, finally resting on Li Feiyu, and he spoke in an indifferent tone: "Li Feiyu, you followed us all this way. Do you want to fight to the death right here, or should we each pursue our own Opportunity?"

Li Feiyu's chest rose and fell violently, and killing intent flickered in his eyes. He desperately wanted to tear Lin Feng into ten thousand pieces immediately, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the rightmost passage, which emanated an enticing Netherworld Evil Qi. The soul defilement banner in his hand was subtly trembling, conveying an intense desire.

Forcing down the impulse to attack immediately, Li Feiyu's mind raced: 'If I act now, the depth of this guy surnamed Lin is unknown, and with that woman nearby, the variables are too great. If I first go and obtain the nine nether earth yin fiend and allow the soul defilement banner to completely transform, killing him then will be as easy as turning my hand.'

Thinking this, he forced a savage sneer onto his face.

"Hmph! Don't get arrogant! Killing you is nothing more than lifting a hand, but this Young Lord has important matters to attend to, so I'll let you live a little longer for now!" He threw down his harsh words, his figure swayed, transforming into a wisp of black smoke, and he rushed into the passage filled with Yin Wind, disappearing into the darkness.

Lin Feng watched the direction in which Li Feiyu disappeared, his expression completely calm. For him, Li Feiyu's departure simply saved him a lot of trouble.

"Senior Brother Lin, the left passage must lead to where the red emperor flowing pearl is located," Fang Lingyao said softly, her gaze fixed on the path where crimson light flowed, her eyes filled with anticipation.
