Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Suddenly, the talisman trembled, and in an instant, it shone with a brilliant black light, transforming into a black needle as thin as a cow's hair, which hovered in mid-air.

The silver needle was jet black, with faint runes flowing across its surface, emanating a chilling aura.

As the man in black robes made a hand seal, the silver needles suddenly moved, silently splitting from one into two, two into four, four into eight, and so on...

In just a few breaths, the single needle transformed into countless black needles, densely packed and layered, impossible to count.

Seeing this, Qin Han's expression shifted slightly, and his heart grew heavy.

The feeling this black needle gave him was completely different from the previous attacks. Although the ancient treasure Soul Locking Tower, the bone ring, and the gourd were all powerful, they were all within his range of response.

But this black needle in front of them, according to the other party, was actually a talisman that a Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivator painstakingly crafted before his death!

With his peak Core Formation cultivation, trying to withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul level cultivator was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

Before he could think any further, Qin Han's mind stirred, and a black and white light flashed in front of him, revealing the true form of the Creation Cauldron!

The cauldron was entirely black, extremely ancient and simple, yet the moment it appeared, it released a mysterious and eerie fluctuation.

The wave spread outwards, and in an instant, the surrounding space began to distort and change.

The moment the black needle pierced the area of ​​fluctuation, its speed suddenly stopped!

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Qin Han unhesitatingly unleashed his full magical power, frantically washing over the azure aura around him. At the same time, without saying a word, he activated the "Yin-Yang Transformation" power of the Creation Cauldron.

The next moment, two beams of light, one black and one white, shot out from the mouth of the cauldron, completely enveloping the countless black needles that were sweeping towards them.

The first black needle to shoot out trembled violently and uncontrollably upon contact with the black and white light. Its surface glowed and dimmed, appearing extremely unstable.

As the illusory image of the Creation Cauldron continued to emit deafeningly terrifying fluctuations, more and more black and white rays of light surged out from the cauldron, rushing towards the black needles in front of Qin Han like a tide!

At first glance, it actually has the upper hand!

However, the power of the talisman treasure refined by the Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivator with all his heart and soul is something that Qin Han, who is only at the peak of the Core Formation stage, cannot contend with.

Even though the Creation Cauldron possessed the power of heaven and earth and was extremely mysterious, it suppressed the countless needle shadows flashing with dark light for a short time, but ultimately it could not hold out for long.

After about a few breaths, the black needle that had first become entangled with the black and white glow was indeed completely obliterated, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing without a trace.

However, dealing with the swarm of black needles that followed was somewhat difficult.

Soon, the situation shifted from a slight advantage to a complete reversal of power.

However, at that moment, a terrifying surge of magical power suddenly emanated from where Qin Han was, accompanied by a deafening explosion, finally breaking free from the confinement of the Soul Locking Tower.

Before Qin Han could think any further, he immediately made a move, swayed on the spot, and disappeared.

The instant he disappeared, the black and white rays of light that had been struggling to hold on in front of him were finally exhausted by the continuous stream of black needles.

Without any obstruction, a barrage of dark needles shot straight towards where Qin Han had been standing.

The result, of course, was that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

If word were to spread that someone had used all their strength to activate a talisman crafted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and used all their resources to blast a giant crater tens of feet deep into an open space, it would probably be the most bizarre thing in the cultivation world!

Seeing Qin Han disappear into thin air again, the man in black robes was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He could only stare intently at every corner around him, while making hand seals, ready to kill Qin Han the moment he reappeared!

Sure enough! A few breaths later, a flash of black and white light appeared where Qin Han had been, and he reappeared there.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed cultivator's expression suddenly turned sinister. He quickly made a hand seal, and the countless shimmering needle shadows simultaneously emitted a dazzling black light, which then merged and condensed together at an extremely fast speed, transforming into a giant needle that was over ten feet long!

"Die!" As his voice fell, the giant needle emitted a crisp buzzing sound and slashed directly at Qin Han.

Seeing this, Qin Han's eyes turned extremely cold. Without holding back, he began to form hand seals, unleashing all the magical power within his body.

At the same time, the illusory image of the Creation Cauldron, suspended in mid-air, suddenly trembled, and a dizzying rumbling sound emanated from within the cauldron...

A bizarre scene unfolded!

Within a radius of a hundred feet, the environment began to distort and change. The dense, blood-red ice pillars slowly disappeared, replaced by the beginnings of a desolate and lifeless world...

At the edge of this nascent world, two beams of light, one black and one white, slowly emerged.

The next moment, the entire sky turned into black and white, and began to converge and rotate at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually forming a black and white vortex that blotted out the sky, from which deafening rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time!

Upon witnessing such a bizarre and terrifying scene, the black-robed cultivator, whose expression had been sinister, suddenly froze, then looked around in disbelief.

Immediately afterward, his expression became unpredictable, but this expression only lasted for a moment before the previous sinister and crazy look returned.

At the same time, under the terrifying power of that huge black and white vortex, the giant needle was actually stopped!

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes was startled and hurriedly mobilized his magic power, pouring it into the "Yinming Needle" talisman in front of him as if it were free.

With the supply of magic power, the battle, which had been in a stalemate, changed again. The giant needle shone brightly with dark light once more, and then its momentum surged as it trembled violently, as if it were about to completely shatter the black and white light that was blocking it.

Seeing the other party's aura suddenly rise, seemingly about to overwhelm him, Qin Han remained calm.

It should be understood that while the talisman treasures crafted by Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed powerful, the person activating them is merely a Core Formation cultivator. Naturally, such reckless infusion of magical power would not last long.

All he needs to do now is persevere and stop collapsing immediately, and the scales of victory will gradually tip in his favor!

So the next contest will simply be about who runs out of magic power first.

And indeed, as Qin Han had predicted, his opponent persisted for about the time it takes to eat a meal. Just when he had gained the upper hand, the giant needle, which had been shining brightly with dark light, suddenly dimmed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black and white rays of light, which had been at a disadvantage, were finally able to unleash their power. In just a few breaths, they once again switched sides and forced the giant needle to retreat.

Not only that, but an even stranger scene is gradually unfolding!

The giant needle was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. First, the tip of the needle slowly turned into a flawless white, its surface radiating a dazzling glow and filled with a strong yang aura!

After a few more breaths, the middle part of the giant needle also began to undergo this strange change, followed by the tail end. In just a few dozen breaths, the entire giant needle transformed into a giant needle that shimmered with dazzling light.
