Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Yin Wang sneered as he watched the Faceless Ones fleeing towards him. Just as he had guessed, Yan Yi would never keep these things under his nose.

Therefore, his former Dao Palace was the only suitable candidate.

"Killing those is enough."

Yin Wang pointed at the group of faceless beings who had fled from the Dao Palace and gave a cold order.

The rules must lie with that group of people.

The best way to provoke the celestial beings to the greatest extent is to take away all their rules.

"You dare, you vengeful spirit!"

A startled and angry shout came from afar; it was Yan Er leading Yan San and Yan Si back first.

With such a commotion at the camp, and given that they happened to be nearby, how could they not come over?

I almost lost my composure when I saw the scene of artillery fire as soon as I arrived at the camp.

This is the second time that Yin Wang, that traitor, has come here to cause trouble. Last time, he attacked the camp from a distance, but this time he is even more ruthless and dared to destroy the Dao Palace.

"continue!"

After Yin Wang gave the order once again, he flew out first. There were only a few things in the field that could pose a threat to the fortress, so he naturally needed to take action personally.

Before long, Mu Zili caught up as well. Su Xiaoxiao carried Chen Xixi around the arena, and the false rules kept weaving illusions, even enveloping the entire area.

The old Taoist priest remained behind, continuously unleashing cursed lightning upon the fortress.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. The camp was constantly bombarded, while on the other side, Yin Wang and Mu Zili launched the main attack, and Chen Xixi relied on Su Xiaoxiao's speed rule to harass them continuously.

Yan Er grew increasingly furious. He could sense the existence of false rules, but he couldn't accurately distinguish between the real and the false illusions.

Each fierce attack either landed on a weak spot or missed its target.

He attempted to break the rules by locking onto the rule's owner through his aura, using another method.

Unfortunately, Chen Xixi was riding Su Xiaoxiao at an absurdly high speed, making it a truly disgusting combination.

Needless to say, Yan San and Yan Si, after having most of their physical strength removed, were not only much weaker than before, but also unable to offer much help.

"Wait a little longer, the others are on their way."

Yan San spoke helplessly. Neither of them wanted things to be this way. Ever since they were tricked, they had felt like a burden, and it was incredibly painful for them.

This time, they weren't unprepared. Before Yan Yi left, he arranged for others to guard the Central Continent and provide support at any time.

I'm just afraid that Yin Wang will come up with some wicked ideas again.

Four of their companions have not yet arrived; once they do, these people will only die.

Little did they know that besides Yan Wu and his group rushing this way, the battlefield across the entire Central Continent was also shifting.

……

In the endless sea, one mechanical Dharma image after another rose into the sky, densely packed and covering the sky as they flew towards another place.

Soul Armor pursed his lips, especially since he still had Han Yu's face on his head; he knew this time it was definitely not going to be good.

Indeed, nothing good came of it. When Quan Xiaotong found him, he wanted him to lead this group of cultivators overseas.

"Are you crazy! If this batch goes out, then we'll be sending out our entire force."

Soul Armor exclaimed in surprise. It was indeed an avatar, but it also had its own thoughts and a considerable relationship with the people of Zhongzhou.

Of course, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he and his original self are now considered to be from Zhongzhou. One of them spends all his time working on mechanisms with Mo Xiuwen, while the other is always rushing off to his death.

His presence was actually stronger than that of the other clones.

Quan Xiaotong looked solemn, briefly explained the situation, and then spoke earnestly.

"This method is the best, and it's worth all of us going out in force."

A batch went to the Central Plains, and now another batch has been sent overseas; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they've sent out their entire force.

The Soul Armor, unusually serious, nodded solemnly, his mischievous expression gone. "I understand. I'm not afraid of death. I'll see if I can protect them as much as possible."

After speaking, he glanced at the complex of mechanisms shrouded in dark clouds above.

In some ways, he was even less afraid of death than Han Yu.

This is also why he despises his original body the most. If his original body had any ambition and the ability of Han Yu, he would not only send him to his death, but also make him go out every day to cause trouble for the Celestials.

At worst, he can just die and then be resurrected to roam again. As long as the original body doesn't die, he can keep resurrecting.

This is arguably the most wicked cultivation technique in Central Continent today, without exception.

Even Yin Wang praised the Four Great Techniques of Heaven and Earth, saying that Zhui Hun had perfected them to near perfection.

But still no one dared to speak, because Yin Wang added another sentence later.

"The process of perfecting the Soul Chaser is difficult to replicate; the most likely outcome is still the same as the Soul Splitting incident."

Without further ado, after finishing his speech, Soul Armor transformed, his unique mechanical form rapidly covering his entire body. Before long, he turned into a phantom, leading the team above him towards overseas.

Wuxian was facing Guyu at this moment, his expression slightly mocking.

I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

After being wounded by Han Yu, this guy fled in panic, thinking he would still linger in the Central Continent. Unexpectedly, he was so afraid of death that he fled back here.

Gu Yu felt a surge of anger. He looked at Wu Xian's expression as if he were being mocked, and immediately spoke with murderous intent.

"You dare come here to die?"

"Aren't you afraid of your mental state collapsing? You're so angry."

Wuxian teased again, never expecting that the words the old Taoist priest used to make fun of him could now be said to others, and he felt inexplicably pleased.

The cultivation method of the Heavenly Dao Sect always leans towards eliminating the seven emotions and six desires, which is why they had those deadpan faces back then.

While it may be helpful for spiritual practice, the consequences of a severe injury followed by a mental breakdown can be quite serious.

Sure enough, as soon as Wuxian finished speaking, Guyu was furious. A golden light emanated from her body, and her illusory Dharma image appeared and disappeared. On the thousand-foot-tall illusory image, one could even vaguely see the terrifying wound.

Wuxian laughed again, "So your injury hasn't healed yet, or it never will."

For the first time, he agreed with Lao Wu's (Lao Dao's) happiness.

It's really satisfying to roast someone, and it's even more satisfying to verbally attack them.

"come out!"

Grain Rain could no longer endure it, and with a single call, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice arrived together.

Three thousand-foot-tall Dharma forms appeared.

Wuxian waved his hand as well, and Jiuyou and Wujiu also led a large number of mechanical Dharma images out to fight.

Once assembled, the six fortresses landed on the sea.

Meanwhile, Jiuyou and Wujiu rushed to Wuxian's side, instantly activating three 300-foot-long Dharma images.

The mere comparison of their sizes makes them seem like a joke. A thousand feet versus three hundred feet—isn't that like a firefly versus the bright moon?

"Then let's take another look!"

Wuxian smiled and spoke. Jiuyou waved his hand, and the rules of growth spread across the Dharma Image. In an instant, the Dharma Image's size continued to grow rapidly. In just a moment, the three-hundred-foot Dharma Image suddenly became a thousand-foot size.

Growth rules!

I never imagined that growth rules could have such an effect!
The two sides clashed immediately, their spiritual energy surging, the tides rising like the sea, and a thunderous roar echoing across the land, as if the heavens and earth were raging.

After only a few rounds, Wuxian and the other two began to turn pale.

But it was Gu Yu's turn to sneer; he too had seen the side effects of this rule.

"The Dharma form is an upgrade; how long can you sustain this consumption?"

Having a Dharma form is one thing, but the consumption of energy may increase several times over.

This is also a path to death.

"Aim at the stone platform and smash it to pieces!"

Wuxian gave the order in a cold voice. He was the one who set up this place, and no one knew the weakest point better than him.

The four fortresses activated simultaneously, unleashing a massive barrage of spiritual energy that violently blasted at one point on the stone platform, causing it to tremble violently.

"You are seeking death!"

Gu Yu and the other two roared and tried to destroy the fortress, but Wu Xian and the other two held them back tightly, not letting them get any closer.

Before long, the void trembled violently.

One after another, mechanical Dharma images broke through the air and arrived. After the leading Soul Armor broke out of the crowd, the mechanism twisted and revealed Han Yu's face.

As soon as he entered the battle formation, Gu Yu instinctively tried to run away.

"you again!"

He assumed that Han Yu had caught up with him here.

"I'll kill you!"

The Soul Armor, imitating Han Yu's every expression with a bandit-like air, spoke aggressively.

A long sword emerged from the mechanical form and was grasped in his hand, which made Gu Yu shudder.

Just moments ago, he was almost cut to death by this knife; how could he not be moved upon seeing it again?

On the other side, the newly arrived mechanical formations quickly assembled, and a total of ten fortresses fell into the sea.

The fourteen fortresses attacked simultaneously, and tens of thousands of spiritual energy waves converged into a terrifying tide, which surged and swept towards the stone platform in an instant.

After being hit, the stone platform became even more vulnerable, and the Dao Palace was the first to collapse with a crash, with monstrous Dharma forms flying out continuously.

"Smash them!"

Wuxian gave the order directly!

The goal is to annihilate these things; delay will only lead to unforeseen consequences.

……

Taiyi and Yuan Chu's faces were both extremely ugly, and their huge bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if they contained countless rages.

They seemed to know about both sides' affairs equally.

I never imagined that the puppet I once nurtured would turn on me in this way.

"The betrayer will eventually suffer another kind of betrayal."

The wise man's voice slowly rang out.

At the same time, the void exploded, and various forces were partially deflected back, pouring out in all directions.

Han Yu appeared, looking disheveled and panting heavily. He used both plunder and balance techniques simultaneously, and once again completed the exchange of control with the artifact spirit, managing to withstand the attacks from both sides.

Within his mind, the token kept ringing, seemingly urging Han Yu on.

"Is there any way to get the spirit of the artifact to come and take over the rules?"

The battle on the Yin Wang side seemed quite intense; even when they spoke, the deafening roars all around never ceased.

"You go there!"

Han Yu spoke to the artifact spirit almost without thinking.

The spirit, however, was reluctant and hesitated, saying, "What will you do if I leave?"

Whether it's the opponent's rules or one's own plunder, it needs to be attached to something in order to be effective in resisting and enhancing it.

With its departure, Han Yu's situation is likely to become even more perilous.

"You still don't trust me? What dangers haven't we been through? Even the ridiculously strong ones couldn't kill us, let alone them."

Han Yu's urgent persuasion was indeed directed at a celestial being avatar, but he was no longer the pushover he once was, who had been chased around everywhere.

The wise old man quickly spoke up, "He's right. If the Yin Wang makes a breakthrough, you'll be facing hundreds of rules..."

"Shut up, he's more important than the rules."

The spirit interrupted angrily. It used to like luck, then rules, but it had never joked about Han Yu's life.

"Are you sure you can hold on?"

It asked with a solemn expression.

Han Yu nodded firmly, "I definitely can't die."

"Alright, I'll be back as soon as possible. If you die, I'll smash this broken bowl."

After cursing loudly, the spirit finally agreed to leave.

Han Yu suddenly plummeted down and crashed into the sea.

Taiyi and Yuanchu thought the other was trying to escape, so they each made their moves. As soon as Han Yu entered the sea, he saw the water in the area where he landed immediately churn, and the area was forcibly separated.

Under such immense power, Han Yu's figure was fully revealed, and after the two attacked again, they once again sent him flying into the air.

Little did they know that a small figure, shrouded in mist, was carrying a jade bowl and fleeing swiftly.

Han Yu looked towards the Central Continent, secretly relieved, and then gave a wry smile.

Without the spirit of the artifact, things will indeed be much harder for him.

"Don't die this time."

The wise old man patiently began to speak.

Han Yu's face darkened upon hearing this, as if the old ghost only ever said this one thing.

"This time is different. If you survive this, I guarantee you'll gain a huge reward, and at least you'll never have to be in such a sorry state again." (End of Chapter)
