Journey to the West: A clone sacrifices to the heavens, possessing boundless magical power.

Chapter 134 Corpse Dissection and Escape

"Daoist Master, I have obtained this inner core." Baihuaxiu's voice trembled.

Yun Zhongzi felt reassured and seized the opportunity to snatch the inner core.

It felt warm to the touch and contained immense energy. Without any hesitation, he put the inner core into his mouth and swallowed it.

Baihua was stunned. Before she could react, the inner core had already been swallowed by Yun Zhongzi.

"Daoist Master, why did you swallow it? Didn't you say before that this inner core was too full of demonic energy and needed to be refined in a furnace to dispel its malevolent aura in order to help my father prolong his life?"

Yun Zhongzi said calmly, "It's safest to keep her inside my body. We shouldn't stay here any longer. I'll take the princess out now."

Before he could finish speaking...

A sudden change occurred.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the cave.

The wind wasn't strong, but it carried an absolute will. In an instant, the entire space inside the stone chamber seemed to freeze, the dust falling in mid-air hovered, and the astonished expression on Baihua Xiu's face froze.

Yun Zhongzi discovered that he couldn't even bend a single finger, his spiritual energy was completely stagnant, and even his thoughts were running extremely slowly.

The law forbids it.

As the winds gathered, a slender figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the stone chamber.

The newcomer had a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, wore a half-new and half-old Buddhist robe, and had a stern face.

He didn't leak any spiritual energy out of his body, yet he made this world automatically submit to him.

Wind Chaser, Silver Wind!

Yin Feng looked down at the imprisoned Yun Zhongzi, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery and understanding.

"Bodhisattva Lingji used his great magical power to deduce the secrets of heaven. Uncontrollable variables appeared on the predetermined route of the Journey to the West. However, the secrets of heaven were obscure, and cause and effect were intertwined."

Yin Feng slowly spoke, "I came here on orders to investigate. I thought it was some reclusive powerhouse setting up a trap, but I never expected it to be someone like you, an ant who hasn't even stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm."

Yin Feng's gaze swept over Yun Zhongzi's abdomen, where a faint golden light of relics was emanating.

"Your cultivation is pathetic, yet your audacity is outrageous. You dare to try and steal this relic's inner core right under the noses of True Monarch Kui Mu and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven." Yin Feng sneered. "A while ago, on Yellow Wind Ridge, that rat demon who tried to steal the fragments of the Glazed Lamp acted in the same way. It seems you are in cahoots, or perhaps you are even the same person. You are the variable on the journey to the West."

Yin Feng didn't waste any more words.

Having identified his target, he went straight for the kill. He raised his right hand, slightly bent his index finger, and flicked it lightly.

Clang!

A wind blade, barely visible to the naked eye, appeared out of thin air and instantly transformed into a dense net of wind, enveloping Yun Zhongzi entirely.

Yun Zhongzi's clone was instantly shattered into hundreds and thousands of pieces of flesh by the wind-elemental divine power of a celestial being, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

A single, decisive blow.

Yin Feng remained expressionless, forming a Soul-Binding Seal with his left hand and grabbing at the pile of minced meat.

"receive."

He wanted to extract the spirit of this variable and bring it back to Mount Sumeru to give to Bodhisattva Lingji.

however.

My palm was empty.

The Soul-Binding Seal landed in empty space, without a soul, not even a trace of a remnant soul.

A hint of surprise finally appeared on Yin Feng's usually indifferent face.

He landed on the ground, ignoring the bloodstains everywhere, and walked to the remains of Yun Zhongzi. His divine sense, at the level of a celestial being, reached out and carefully scanned every piece of flesh and every drop of blood.

The bones are real, the flesh and blood are real.

This is neither an illusion nor a substitute created from plants, trees, or stones. If it is an avatar outside the body, there must be a connection between the main body and the avatar. Killing the avatar will surely allow us to capture the trace of the soul's retreat.

But now, this body is completely clean, like a shell that was born without a soul. At the moment of death, some connection was severed completely.

"How is that possible—"

Yin Feng frowned, frantically searching his mind for the mysterious arts and secret techniques of the Three Realms. Suddenly, he remembered the White Bone Demon's method of survival.

"The method of dissecting a corpse?"

Yin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Leaving behind his true body and flesh, he took the place of the deceased and his soul shed its shell, instantly vanishing into nothingness.

Only such supernatural power can explain the bizarre scene before us.

"Impressive technique, you even fooled me." Yin Feng sneered, his eyes flashing with killing intent. "But the Corpse Dissolution technique weakens the soul and limits its range; you certainly won't escape far!"

boom!

Yin Feng no longer held back, unleashing his divine sense from the Celestial Realm without reservation.

This divine sense, like a tangible tsunami, broke through the barrier of the Wave Moon Cave, soared into the sky, and then spread in all directions at an alarming speed.

Ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles.

The mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, and even the spirits of the underworld within a radius of tens of millions of miles all trembled under the sweeping gaze of this celestial divine sense.

He was searching for that elusive trace of divine soul fluctuation.

Inside the stone chamber.

The laws governing that restricted the space dissipated as Yin Feng's attention shifted.

Baihuaxiu collapsed onto the ground in a pool of blood with a thud.

She stared blankly at the mangled flesh scattered on the ground, then at the Wind Guardian radiating terrifying pressure.

She had no idea what had happened. One moment the Taoist priest who promised to take her back to Baoxiang Kingdom was still speaking, and the next moment the Taoist priest turned into a pile of minced meat.

Yin Feng's divine sense was still frantically searching, and he completely ignored Bai Huaxiu, who had fallen to the ground.

Hundreds of miles away, above a desolate Gobi Desert.

The previously calm space suddenly became violently distorted, as if a crack had been forcibly torn open on the surface of the water.

"Bang!"

A figure fell from the spatial rift and crashed heavily onto the hard rock, creating a crater several meters wide.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Yun Zhongzi staggered to his feet from the bottom of the pit. His gray robe was completely soaked in blood, and the flesh on the left side of his body appeared withered.

"cough----"

Yun Zhongzi spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes revealed absolute calmness.

Just half an incense stick's time before the Wind Envoy's fatal blow was about to pierce his body, Fan Yuan, far away in the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom, unhesitatingly activated the incomplete supernatural power, Corpse Dissolution Technique, which he had learned from the White Bone Demon.

This was the first time Fan Yuan had used this method.

The results, however, were surprisingly amazing.

The instant the Wind Chaser's spell struck the body, Yun Zhongzi's spine erupted with extreme Yin energy, forcibly stripping away all life force and soul, leaving only a lifeless, bloodless fake corpse that exploded on the spot.

His true soul and core essence, through that instantaneous shift in the flow of life and death, vanished into the void.

"No wonder it's the trump card that allowed him to escape from the Monkey King's golden cudgel."

Fan Yuan used Yun Zhongzi's internal vision to examine this body, feeling the broken meridians and extremely weak soul, and secretly made plans in his mind.

Although this corpse-dissolving technique is only a fragment and cannot achieve a flawless escape like the White Bone Demon, and may even cause temporary weakness after its use, its ability to forcibly cross hundreds of miles to escape from the Wind Patrol Envoy's clutches is enough to prove its domineering nature.
