Born with immortal seed

Chapter 464 Using one's weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths

The three remains of the patriarch are two men and one woman, all young and beautiful, with elegant and handsome appearances.

The Taoist robe he wore was simple and unadorned, exuding elegance.

The Hundred Skills Sect was a family of cultivators thousands of years ago.

Later, during their southward migration, the three families of Xin, Ku, and Jin swore an oath of brotherhood and decided to establish a common foundation in Nanzhao, thus becoming one clan.

Therefore, the sect's lineage is quite diverse, including cultivation techniques from the three great families, a scroll of Dharma cultivation techniques found on the remains of an ancient cultivator when they first arrived in Nanzhao, and Gu techniques that later spread from the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains.

As a result, the Hundred Skills Sect did not have any particularly impressive features in the cultivation world.

In comparison, the Dharma Aspect Technique is somewhat like a weakened version of the Second Nascent Soul, and its power should not be underestimated. It has gradually become the mainstream of the Hundred Skills Sect.

During their cultivation, they discovered that as long as one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one's physical body will not decay after death. Furthermore, cultivators who have practiced the Dharma Aspect Technique will condense a spiritual object within their bodies, somewhat similar to Buddhist relics.

With this spiritual object, one can activate the remains of predecessors and once again awaken the Dharma form and nascent soul.

Xin Youhuang opened the forbidden area and took out the only three remaining remains of the sect's founder, which was a preparation for attacking the Five Elements Sect, fearing that another accident might occur.

Unexpectedly, this has now saved my life.

A jade pendant, an inkstone, and a string of hairpins—three corresponding spiritual objects—flew out of Xin Youhuang's hands, and the three remains of the patriarchs shone brightly.

The complete body began to crack, and inch by inch, light shone out, and three Dharma giants stood in front of it.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator? I could slay one of you back then, and I can slay three of you today!"

Bai Zichen sneered. Since he dared to go to the enemy's lair to fight on foreign soil, how could he not have thought about encountering unexpected methods?

He truly didn't take this imposing so-called Dharma Aspect Nascent Soul cultivator seriously.

"It's indeed useful for bullying Core Formation cultivators, but against a proper Nascent Soul cultivator, especially a sword cultivator, isn't that just sending him to his death!"

On that day, even when surrounded by three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they were able to kill Xin Youhuang's Dharma Form.

Moreover, the Dharma image formed by activating the remains of predecessors through secret methods is riddled with flaws due to the extra step involved.

The female cultivator lightly raised her jade-like arm, her fair wrist dazzlingly white, and conjured a jade hairpin, slicing it forward.

A beam of moonlight mingled with the real moonlight, constantly weaving through the air, making it impossible to distinguish which was the sword light and which was the moonlight cast from above.

As the jade hairpin fell, it was struck by flying swords thirty to fifty times for every inch it descended, leaving fine cracks all over its surface.

The two male cultivators also had their eyes closed. One held a golden mace, and the other held a golden book. With each wave of their hands, thousands of mace shadows appeared, just like true Nascent Soul True Lords.

Another Nascent Soul cultivator, as he turned the pages of the golden book, produced a series of powerful and resounding sounds.

The golden words of wisdom came into effect as soon as they were spoken, and golden chains descended, binding his hands and feet.

But most of the time, it passes by like a gentle spring breeze, not even managing to scatter the sword light once.

The two sword lights each entangled a Nascent Soul cultivator, showing no signs of strain.

Bai Zichen looked down on the Dharma Aspect Nascent Soul precisely because it was formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its true essence strength was indeed at the level of a Nascent Soul.

However, the Dharma Form could not possibly contain the true meaning of the Great Dao. When it made a move, it was more like a Core Formation cultivator who was a thousand times more powerful than a Nascent Soul True Monarch who was in harmony with the Great Dao.

In the eyes of a swordsman like him who excels in combat, everything was naturally a flaw.

After a series of successive attacks, all three Nascent Soul cultivators were damaged and incomplete.

At the same time, the sword light formed a continuous line, giving Xin Youhuang no space to escape.

"Bai Zichen, if you don't give me a way out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xin Youhuang had completely abandoned her previous fantasies; the idea of ​​turning the tables and becoming a hunter was no longer in her mind.

In their last encounter, he stayed in the back and fought as a Dharma body, so the main pressure was on the other two.

Only after facing him directly did I truly understand Bai Zichen's abilities. Even after activating the three Ancestral Master Dharma Images, it didn't achieve any of the expected results.

Even if the Nascent Soul cultivators are weak, they shouldn't be able to overpower three of them against a single early-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

It can only be said that this person's strength far exceeded the description of the realm, which led him to make a wrong judgment.

At this moment, Xin Youhuang only wanted to break free from the encirclement of sword light and escape back to Wanfu Mountain.

Only when under the protection of the great formation can one truly feel at ease.

With a cruel heart, Xin Youhuang spat a mouthful of blood onto a blood-red talisman depicting a ferocious demon, and then reached out to the talisman.

The monster suddenly poked its head out of the talisman and bit the palm, severing all five fingers cleanly inside.

"Soul-devouring demon, devour half of his consciousness... no, just a third!"

Xin Youhuang quickly changed her words, and at the same time, the jade talisman on her chest glowed, the chains on her hands, and even the magic robe on her body all flashed with the soul-suppressing and mind-calming restrictions that she had prepared in advance.

This Soul-Devouring Talisman was passed down from the Demon Realm. When activated, it involves exchanging one's own consciousness for another, harming both the user and the attacker.

Even if he had made preparations in advance, with a series of magical artifacts and restrictions placed on his body, all of which were geared towards protecting his divine sense.

After activating the Soul Devouring Talisman, at the very least, they will fall seriously ill due to the loss of most of their divine consciousness.

In severe cases, the opponent may not die, but the individual may perish due to the exhaustion of their spiritual energy.

However, its effects are outstanding, and those below the late Nascent Soul stage have no chance of resisting it.

Xin Youhuang felt that he had cultivated for several hundred years longer than Bai Zichen, and admitted that there was an insurmountable gap in strength. However, the strength of his divine sense was something that could be gradually increased over time.

Except for a very few people who are born with strong spiritual sense, most people follow the rule that the longer they cultivate, the stronger their spiritual sense becomes.

'Even if he happens to be an anomaly with naturally strong divine sense, with all these measures I've taken beforehand, at least we can both be severely injured... It's advantageous for me to lose combat power on both sides simultaneously; I can simply have the great formation teleport me back to the sect.'

As the Soul-Devouring Talisman burned, the large-headed, thin-bodied, blue-faced, fanged monster gasped for breath, and Xin Youhuang collapsed to the ground in agony.

The Vajra Buddha statue, jade amulet, and the Eighteen Bodhi Bracelet all exploded.

Three streaks of blue light flashed across his robes and landed on his head, soothing Xin Youhuang's splitting headache.

It felt like he had been chopped hard on the top of his head with an axe; he had never suffered such pain since he had become an infant.

The Soul-Eating Ghost first absorbs the caster's consciousness, then teleports to Bai Zichen's side, constantly reassembling itself no matter how the sword threads cut it.

As soon as I opened my mouth, an invisible suction force acted on my primordial spirit, and I felt a chill deep within my bones.

"What kind of talisman is this? The summoned ghost is just a projection, yet it is unafraid of a single sword strike breaking through all magic..."

The moment Bai Zichen had that thought, a cold wind blew across his face, and his consciousness, as if summoned, began to stir restlessly.

Suddenly, a few specks of starlight shone through his forehead, exuding supreme majesty and serene purity.

The sea of ​​consciousness was surrounded by a warm starlight, and no more yin wind could be felt. Instead, the soul-devouring ghost was surprised.

Even sucking into a big belly and opening his mouth to suck hard, it was all like a gentle breeze to Bai Zichen.

The Heavenly Star Bone from the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique grants immunity to all attacks targeting the primordial spirit level, unless the attacker is a full level higher.

Given Bai Zichen's cultivation level at the early Nascent Soul stage, only a powerful expert at the early Deity Transformation stage could pose a threat to him by using a similar secret technique.

Furthermore, because Bai Zichen's spiritual strength far surpasses that of his peers, the cultivation level required for the caster may be even higher.

It can only be said that using the Soul Devouring Talisman to deal with him was the worst choice Xin Youhuang ever made.

In terms of mental defense and spiritual stability, even a hundred Xin Youhuangs combined couldn't compare to Bai Zichen; the difference in their combat power was even greater.

The Soul-Eating Demon's two attacks failed, and it even sensed a power that was extremely effective against it. Despite having the power for one last strike, it teleported away from the battlefield, ignoring the boundary.

Bai Zichen took a step forward, grabbed Xin Youhuang who was wailing in pain, and with an indifferent expression, was about to use his true essence to imprison the other party's nascent soul.

"Impossible! The Soul Eater has never failed before... Explode!"

Xin Youhuang spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes revealing determination. All three nascent souls of the Dharma Aspect were aimed at her body, detonating their Dharma Aspects.

It gathers the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and after being destroyed, it returns to the world. The power that erupts in this instant is truly earth-shattering.

Bai Zichen and Xin Youhuang were at the center of the three Dharma images, where the surging and colliding spiritual energy of heaven and earth tore open spatial rifts.

As the smoke cleared, the ground sank several meters, and a hilltop was completely leveled.

Further away, a clear pool evaporated instantly, and now clear water is gushing out from several waterholes at the bottom of the lake.

At the very center, Bai Zichen stood straight, his Taoist robe tattered and his entire body as red as charcoal.

With a slight shake, the charred ash fell, revealing five crystalline rays, and the body had a glassy texture.

His fair and smooth skin was exposed, without even a scratch, and boundless divine power was concentrated in his physical body.

The Xin Youhuang held in his palm was only half a body; if he hadn't protected him at the last moment, he would probably have been reduced to ashes.

"I forgot to tell you, my body refinement cultivation is also quite good. At least, no other demon beast of the same level can compare to me... You died a worthy death, being able to witness several of my trump cards at the same time. Other Nascent Soul cultivators don't have that kind of treatment."

During the self-destruction of the Dharma Body Nascent Soul, the Five Crystalline Body finally had a rare opportunity to be displayed.

The violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth pressed down, and most of it was directly absorbed by the Glazed Body and transformed into the Five Crystal Eternal Forged Body, which raised the strength of his physical body to another level.

It gave him a taste of the exhilarating freedom of a high-level body cultivator, charging ahead without a care in the world.

Xin Youhuang was first severely injured by activating the Soul Devouring Talisman, and then her Dharma body self-destructed, leaving her with only her last breath.

It can only be said that the damage Bai Zichen caused him was negligible; it was all caused by his own actions. He didn't even have a chance to try to escape using Nascent Soul teleportation.

"I have never performed a soul search on a Nascent Soul cultivator before, I wonder if I can do it..."

A burst of flame licked past, burning Xin Youhuang's remains to ashes, leaving only a withered nascent soul covered in terrifying black lines.

Bai Zichen was confident in his powerful divine sense, and even if the soul search failed, he was not afraid of the backlash and directly activated the Taiwu Soul Search and Soul Severing Technique.

At the same time, platinum flames rose from his palm, forming chains that imprisoned Xin Youhuang's nascent soul within them.
