Chapter 542 Undercurrents and Overt Struggles: Each Maneuvering

As soon as Sui Yin Wuji uttered these words, within moments, countless Yin flames rose up, their attack becoming even more intense.

At the same time, three golden rays of light burst forth from within, concealed by the Yin Fire, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to within five miles of Yin Wuji.

The golden and radiant design features a golden hammer, a small flag, and a precious mirror, their brilliance resembling three rainbows at midday, instantly revealing their extraordinary nature.

These three magical artifacts came with fierce force, and the smoke barrier that Yin Wuji had previously released to protect himself was pierced through in one fell swoop, just like an arrow piercing through silk.

A fierce wind suddenly swept across our faces, its howling sound chilling!

As they drew near, the three magical artifacts unleashed their power. First, the small flag emitted countless streams of spiritual energy, from which a hundred-foot-tall roc with white feathers and a sharp beak materialized. Its wings spread wide, and it swung like two broadswords as large as mountains, instantly traversing the sky and descending directly towards Yin Wuji's head.

At the same time, a cloud of black mist followed closely behind, suddenly leaping out from behind the roc as it launched its attack, transforming into a gigantic black tiger.

The black tiger's mouth was full of sharp teeth, like a forest of swords and spears, and it bit forward with all its might!
The roc and tiger moved like lightning, clearly displaying the power of magical artifacts, but their appearances were no different from those of real flesh and blood creatures, indicating that they were quite intelligent.

Yin Wuji chuckled indifferently and casually pointed, causing a dark vortex to rise in front of him.

When the cyclone first appeared, it was only about ten feet in size. Compared with the Peng bird and the black tiger, which were both hundreds of feet tall, it was really tiny and inconspicuous.

Yet, despite their sheer size, they managed to restrain the movements of the roc and the tiger, preventing them from advancing an inch despite being only a hundred feet away from Yin Wuji.

As the vortex slowly spun, the two spirits were also forced to retreat, no matter how much they roared and exerted their strength.

Their bodies drew closer and closer to the cyclone, seemingly about to be completely swallowed up by it, before being expelled from the world.

This is another supernatural power taught to Yin Wuji by that person in Yuqi Tianmeng, and it is called "Mingmo Xianqi".

Once this method is activated, and the Qi vortex has fully grown to perfection, it can cause the clouds in all ten directions to collapse and the land in all nine directions to turn into sand and dust.

Rivers will hang upside down to the sky, and beasts will leap into the clouds!

If a cultivator lacks sophisticated methods or has slightly inferior cultivation, they will likely be swallowed by the vortex and then suppressed by the supernatural power of "Misty Primordial Qi," leaving their body heavy and their five senses clouded.

At that point, escaping would be extremely difficult, and all one could do was hope for good fortune to come their way.

The "Mingmo Xianqi" was meticulously created by the infamous Divine Infant Master, who had refined the vast Longevity Heaven into an external avatar.

In addition to "Misty Primordial Qi", there are also two other mysterious supernatural powers in existence: "Revolving Wheel Transformation" and "Boundless Treasure Box Skill". These can complement and support the former, making their power even greater.

Once these three supernatural abilities are fully acquired and mastered to a high level, one can then pursue the highest level and unleash the renowned "Chaotic Void" technique!

In terms of power, the "Hun Dong Tai Wu" is no less powerful than some of the world-suppressing techniques of the Eight Schools and Six Sects.

In the past, when the Divine Infant Master attacked the Longevity Heaven, he used the "Chaos and Nothingness" to forcefully subdue a great immortal who had attained immortality. That person is still trapped and has not been able to escape to this day. No matter how his disciples try to save him, they cannot awaken him from the "Chaos and Nothingness".

At this moment, the cyclone had already swallowed half of the bodies of the Peng bird and the tiger, and it was clear that they could not extricate themselves.

But when the magic mirror flew over, a beam of light was emitted at just the right moment, shining directly on the center of the cyclone and shattering it in half.

At the same time, the golden hammer flashed several times and leaped out of this chaotic field. The light on the hammer body suddenly spun rapidly, like a golden sun falling from the sky, aiming at Yin Wuji's brow!
Boom——

In just a moment, a fierce wind suddenly arose, surging in all directions like giant waves in the sea, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble. The gloomy fire in the sky was also torn apart in large pieces!

The hammer fell solidly, with immense force, leaving no room for further resistance.

Although the golden hammer had dented Yin Wuji's protective aura, it was still stopped by a jade-like hand just before it was about to strike, preventing it from continuing downwards.

"What a magnificent Star Pivot Golden Hammer! It is indeed worthy of being forged from the remaining divine materials of the Yuan Magnetic Golden Light Sphere of Huzhao. Such domineering power is truly rare."

At this moment, Yin Wuji even had the leisure to utter a word of praise.

Although the Star Pivot Golden Hammer continued to exert force, the hand supporting it was as firm and unbreakable as Mount Hua.

At this moment, Yin Wuji made a hand seal with his left hand, as if he wanted to use "Misty Primordial Qi" again to suppress and put away the golden hammer between his fingers.

But a lightning talisman struck like lightning, aimed directly at his face, causing Yin Wuji to change his technique and choose to break the talisman first.

Before long, a clear light, like dew, was sprinkled out, and the vortex that had trapped the Peng bird and the black tiger gradually dissipated.

In just a moment, the three magical artifacts pressed forward again, with the sun, moon, and stars formed from talismans rumbling and spinning across the sky.

Coupled with the inextinguishable eerie fires that spread across the mountains and plains, it was as if some kind of catastrophe was about to strike, threatening to wipe out the world!

Yin Wuji flicked his sleeve, his magical power solidified, and calmly reached out and waved his hand.

A moment later, a small halo of light appeared.

In just a moment, the light expanded to a length of a hundred feet, growing larger and larger until it finally transformed into a giant handprint of ten thousand poisons, its residual energy chilling and terrifying to behold, standing majestically at the top of the sky!

And the sounds of killing and warfare never ceased.

Not long after the fight, after the golden hammer was once again sent flying backward, crashing through layers of gale-force winds, Gu Yi made a hand seal and summoned a spell, while also shaking her head slightly.

This matter is unlikely to end well.

After her battle with Wei Lingjiang, she sought a secluded place to recuperate, only to unexpectedly encounter Yin Wuji, which was quite a surprise to Gu Yi.

Because of the competition for the rankings at the New Year's Day ceremony, she had fought Yin Wuji several times before she even became a pill, and she knew that with her supernatural powers, she would definitely lose to him.

The competition for the top spot in Danyuan is related to the future destiny of the family.

Let alone the fact that Gu Yi and Yin Wuji only had some acquaintance, I'm afraid that even if Yin Ruohua were fortunate enough to reach this point, Yin Wuji would not simply hand over such a great fortune as the Xudu Pill.

Therefore, the two did not exchange any pleasantries, and after just one glance, they attacked each other.

only……

Gu Yi glanced at the flickering talismanic light in the sky and felt a little strange as she made hand seals to cast the spell.

Not long after she began her battle with Yin Wuji, Pei Zhi suddenly appeared and intervened.

Although I had heard a little about the feud between this person and the Yin family of Qi Wu, the two of them had not had much interaction before. It was quite interesting that they had chosen to join forces to fight against the enemy.

Even though the two joined forces, it was not very effective. Yin Wuji still controlled the battle and did not give them a chance to turn the tide.

If things continue like this, the outcome is probably obvious.

"Yin Wuji's Tai Su Jade Body has already reached the sixth level of the Yuan Realm. Even if a magic weapon were to strike him repeatedly, it would be difficult to break through his defenses."

At this moment, Pei Zhipian drew a line with her fingers, and countless brilliant lights burst forth from the talisman, forming a continuous line that barely blocked Yin Wuji's fist wind.

She sent a thought to Gu Yi, saying:
"Do you possess any supernatural powers to cleanse his blood and qi?"

Gu Yi shook her head upon hearing this.

Tai Su Jade Body —

The power of this method of achieving sainthood through physical means is self-evident; it makes one virtually impervious to all evil.

Although she possessed exotic creatures like the True Thought Golden Insect and had a special supernatural ability to suppress the body's qi and blood, none of these abilities could be effective against Tai Su.

The simplest way to defeat a cultivator who has mastered the Tai Su Jade Body is either to find the location of his possession, to directly surpass him in physical prowess, or to directly attack him with great supernatural powers.

The former is naturally extremely difficult; no Golden Core cultivator at this Dan Yuan Conference could accomplish this task.

As for the latter, it is not easy either.

Yin Wuji's physical skills had clearly reached the Golden Core stage, which Gu Yi lacked. Moreover, his escape techniques were extremely powerful, preventing him from standing still like a sitting duck and allowing others to attack freely.

If there is any Dan Yuan True Person in the field who can physically rival Yin Wuji...

That is the only option...

A figure flashed through Gu Yi's mind, and then she felt a little confused and shook her head slightly.

“In that case, I have a way to temporarily stop his escape technique. You can seize this opportunity and use the supreme divine power of Huzhao to attack.”

Pei Zhi's voice paused slightly, then continued:
"However, I need Master Gu to delay me for a moment so that I can take out the magic seal."

Gu Yi quickly came up with an idea. However, before she could send it, she suddenly heard a loud cracking sound, and then all three of Gu Yi's magical artifacts flew out of the air, their spiritual light dimming.

The talismans that had transformed into the sun, moon, and stars exploded all at once, causing Pei Zhi to let out a muffled groan.

"rise."

Yin Wuji seemed unwilling to continue the battle.

With a mere flick of his wrist, his body seemed to release some kind of blockage, unleashing a tremendous force that caused the earth to rumble and tremble as if it could not bear the weight!
"Overturning the heavens and earth?"

Gu Yi recognized the technique Yin Wuji had used, and her expression suddenly became much more serious.

And at the same moment.

In a strange place where the sky and earth are upside down, mountains and rivers are in the air, and clouds and mist form the background, Yu Huangshang's expression also became slightly solemn as he leaned forward slightly.

"It can bring down the heavens and the earth."

he said.

……

……

At this moment, Yu Huangshang seemed to be deep in thought. Beneath him was a hundred-foot-long poisonous dragon wreathed in flames, slowly swimming and exhaling smoke.

Before him was a crystal sphere about ten feet in size, which clearly reflected the scene of Yin Wuji fighting with Gu Yi and Pei Zhi.

This is the Secret Technique of Illuminating Light and Shadow, passed down by the Innate Demonic Sect, and was created by Chen Yushu himself.

As long as the caster is willing to expend energy, even a scene three thousand miles away can be seen clearly, as if looking at the lines on the palm of one's hand.

Now that the Transformation Mist is no longer in the way, Yu Huangshang can freely use all his supernatural abilities and techniques.

However, after only glancing at Yin Wuji a few times, Yu Huangshang stopped paying attention and waved his hand. The crystal ball shook, and the figures of Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia emerged from it.

The two most powerful sword cultivators in the arena did not rush to fight, but instead used their sword escape techniques.

As if they were competing in a contest of escape techniques, they had clearly already broken out of the area defiled by the "Spirit Devouring and Returning to Truth Technique," yet they continued forward without stopping.

Yu Huangshang knew that these two wanted to find a secluded place to continue their fight, so as not to let others benefit.

However, the way the sword was positioned, even if it was only reflected in the crystal ball, still stirred Yu Huangshang's heart.

“Zhou Fujia, it seems this person has truly gleaned some insights from that half of the sword manual over the years? This makes things even more troublesome. In that case, we need to reconsider our previous plan…”

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Huangshang couldn't help but ponder.

The ten Dan Yuan Zhenren of the Huang Lao She Ji Tu are now present.

Yin Ruohua has been eliminated.

Yin Wuji's fate was already sealed. In Yu Huangshang's view, Gu Yi and Pei Zhi were destined to lose, so there was no need to worry about them.

Wei Lingjiang and Lü Rong were clearly not within the scope of the "Illuminating Light and Shadow Technique," and their figures did not appear in the crystal sphere.

As for Jia Xiu of Dou Shu...

Thinking of this, Yu Huangshang chuckled, unconcerned.

When the vapor dissipated earlier, Yu Huangshang confronted Jia Xiu, easily injuring him while also planting a curse on him.

Although Jia Xiu has now fled far away, his every move is still under Yu Huangshang's control, so he is no longer a threat.

That leaves only Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia...

Just as Yu Huangshang was pondering his next move, he suddenly frowned inexplicably and leisurely got up from the dragon's head.

Before long, a blood-red shadow flew over, then seemed to be blocked by some kind of invisible force, and smashed to pieces outside.

But this was just the beginning. With a blinding flash in the sky, thousands of blood-red shadows rushed forward one after another, and then, as if pushing mountains and overturning peaks, they all roared and forced themselves into this upside-down realm!
“Lü Rong,” Yu Huangshang said.

"It seems my prediction was correct. You did indeed use this supernatural power to first conceal your whereabouts, and then use the technique of 'Concealing Light and Illuminating Shadow' to act as your eyes and ears... Master Yu, you still act so cautiously."

Amidst the surging blood-red light, Lü Rong's figure appeared and disappeared:
“If I hadn’t used Zaiyuan Zhaozhen’s Dharma Eye, I would have had a real hard time finding you.”

"Judging from these injuries, it seems to be the Crimson Bright Divine Power. You've clashed with Wei Lingjiang?"

Yu Huangshang paused on Lü Rong for a moment, then became slightly more serious.

The latter had several deep wounds that exposed bone, with blazing flames surging inside. Although the flames were being pushed and squeezed by the blood, they were difficult to extinguish in a short time.

"I was looking for you, but I bumped into her first."

Lu Rong didn't care much about his injuries. Recalling the previous battle, he also gave a thumbs-up:
"This one is indeed worthy of being a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, but unfortunately, she is still young and lacks foundation. If we give her more time, she may become another formidable enemy for us in the future!"

Yu Huangshang understood Lü Rong's implied meaning and frowned as he spoke:
"We don't need to fight now. Of the eight masters here, only Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia can fight us. The rest are either out of the game or about to be defeated."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until Yin Wuji drives Pei Zhi away, and Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia are both severely injured, leaving only us Yuan Sect cultivators here, before we fight again?"

"Master Yu, do you really think that only I have figured out your 'Concealing Light and Illuminating Shadow' technique? Putting aside others, with Chen Heng's spiritual sense, he must have had some kind of feeling about it. So why would he give you the opportunity to be the one to exploit him?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Rong seemed to have heard a joke and gave a cold laugh.

"Furthermore, if Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia are both severely injured, how can we join forces to take advantage of them? Not to mention that this matter is bound to fail."

Lu Rong sneered, his blood-red robe fluttering even without wind, and spoke arrogantly:
"Who do you think I am, Lü Rong!"

"So you think that having the Crimson Coil True Body means you can truly be fearless of its depletion?"

Seeing this, Yu Huangshang did not offer any further advice, but merely moved his lips and made a hand gesture.

At the foot of a secluded mountain, Jia Xiu, who was meditating, suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Then, a huge amount of vital energy was inexplicably drawn from his body and entered Yu Huangshang's body.

"What a magical power!"

Lü Rong gave a thumbs-up.

The two exchanged a glance but said nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, two powerful magical forces clashed, causing the clouds to swirl and the wind to be as sharp as blades!

……

Another place.

Green mountains cover the hills, and clear streams flow—

Upon arriving at this place, Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia almost simultaneously stopped their swords and descended from the clouds, several miles apart.

The two men simply bowed respectfully from afar, then stood still without saying a word.

"Uncle Tu... what does this mean?"

Seeing the two locked in a standoff, neither of them dared to draw their swords and attack first.

After waiting for a while, in the palace of the Water and Land Heavenly Palace, a young girl who had come with her elders to observe the ceremony and broaden her horizons could no longer contain herself and asked in a low voice.

However, Uncle Tu did not speak, but his eyes showed even more admiration.

As for the other cultivators of the Water and Land Heavenly Palace, they either had solemn expressions or sighed inwardly.

The girl didn't understand what he meant. Just as she was about to speak again, her pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

At this moment, between Chen Heng and Zhou Fujia, a verdant mountain suddenly had half of its peak cut off without any apparent reason, the cut smooth and neat, like a hot knife cutting wax.

The scattered rocks and vegetation hadn't even hit the ground before they were reduced to dust, disappearing without a trace!
