To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The simultaneous attack by nine Golden Core cultivators was truly earth-shattering.

The magical artifact's spiritual light filled the heavens and earth, illuminating the area as if it were daytime, and its energy caused the surrounding air currents to tremble violently.

Gu Fan did not make a move immediately. Instead, he took a step back, summoned the Returning Origin Furnace, and slowly poured in his magic power, calmly waiting for the right opportunity.

Faced with attacks coming from all directions, Du Chen had nowhere to avoid them, but he remained calm and did his best to dodge Su Nanzhi's short sword, letting the other eight attacks fall on him.

As the attack struck, the dark figure tumbled violently, like waves crashing against rocks, and Du Chen let out a painful scream.

The attack succeeded, and everyone was overjoyed.

Before making their move, no one was sure if they could kill Du Chen; they only had passion and the belief in protecting their sect. Now, however, they were more confident.

But that confidence lasted only a moment before it froze on his face.

Du Chen's ghostly body trembled and rolled, spewing out a few wisps of gray mist, but it didn't dissipate much, far less than he appeared to be in a terrible state. Instead, taking advantage of everyone's relaxed state of mind, he tried to escape.

Gu Fan watched this scene with a cold eye, having anticipated it all along.

The techniques of the Samsara lineage are mostly yin in nature, and they are particularly adept at attacking the soul.

Du Chen, being a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator, possesses extremely high resistance to Yin-attribute attacks, and his combat experience accumulated over three thousand years of cultivation far surpasses that of others.

Among the crowd, Su Nanzhi's short sword was the most lethal, because the pure yang energy surrounding the sword was naturally effective against ghost cultivators.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Rebirth Sect frowned and attacked again without prior agreement.

However, Du Chen had anticipated this. After dodging Su Nanzhi's short sword, he successively neutralized three attacks on the soul. The black mist suddenly transformed into a giant hand and grabbed at a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The Golden Core cultivators present were all seasoned veterans who had been in the Golden Core stage for many years, with the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm being the lowest level of cultivation.

Seeing the ghost claws coming, the Golden Core cultivator gritted his teeth and swung his steel whip magic weapon. The whip radiated a dark divine light and smashed head-on into the giant hand.

This dark divine light was extraordinary; it was his most prized divine sense technique, "Soul-Scattered Divine Light." Once unleashed, it would strike the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness directly. A single blow from it would be enough to shatter the sea of ​​consciousness of an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator, causing them to faint.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

The steel whip struck the withered grass with a dull thud.

The giant hand slightly dented, then flicked away the steel whip, and with a slight tremor, continued to grab at him.

The Golden Core cultivator panicked. The giant hand was incredibly fast, and in his haste, he only had time to erect a dark golden magical barrier in front of him. However, the barrier only blocked the giant hand for a moment before shattering. The remaining force slammed into him, sending him flying backward instantly.

The blockade created a fatal gap!

Just as he was about to break through the encirclement, Du Chen let out a wild, arrogant laugh: "You think you can hurt me? You overestimate yourselves! In the future, I will definitely refine your souls and make you suffer the most!"

After saying that, he broke through the gap.

He had thought it through very clearly: revenge wasn't something that could be done in a short time. Once he left this place, he would be like a bird soaring into the blue sky or a fish returning to the sea, and there would be plenty of opportunities to settle scores in the future.

Du Chen was about to escape, and Xie Linyuan and the others were deathly still, but it was too late to stop him.

At the critical moment, a golden thunderbolt suddenly exploded.

Chang Yuan had somehow infiltrated the Golden Core cultivator's location. His Divine Thunder Eyes shone brightly, and a condensed bolt of lightning, accompanied by a sharp sound that tore through the air, slashed fiercely at Du Chen.

He seemed to have anticipated Du Chen's escape route, and the lightning struck him precisely, sending him flying backward, while a large part of the black shadow was annihilated.

Du Chen let out a fierce roar, this time without any pretense.

The Divine Thunder Eye is an innate divine ability that Chang Yuan comprehended by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Back then, he suffered the torment of his soul being consumed. He originally comprehended this technique in order to resist the damage of the divine thunder. However, this extremely strong and yang divine thunder is precisely the nemesis of Du Chen, this ghost cultivator.

In terms of combat experience, Chang Yuan, who was once a Void Refining Demon Lord, has never enjoyed following the updates so much. He's even surpassed Du Chen!

"What kind of spirit beast is this?!"

The members of the Rebirth Sect were shocked. Their previous frustration vanished. They didn't have time to investigate how Gu Fan had cultivated such a divine beast, and they all took the opportunity to make their move.

The Golden Core cultivator who had been knocked away immediately swallowed a pill and gritted his teeth as he rushed back.

In the blink of an eye, several more attacks landed on Du Chen.

Du Chen endured the excruciating pain of being burned by the divine lightning, desperately dodging it, feeling extremely frustrated.

With his Nascent Soul ghost cultivator strength, even if his vital energy was depleted by the formation, he shouldn't be restrained by a few Golden Core cultivators.

However, with everyone having gained experience, they no longer gave others any opportunity to take advantage. In addition, with Chang Yuan watching closely and Shenxiao Leitong ready to save the day at any time, he found it difficult to exert his strength and was unable to break through the situation for a long time.

As his ghostly body was slowly worn away, Du Chen grew increasingly impatient.

Just then, he suddenly looked at Su Nanzhi, thinking to himself, "I can't just sit here and wait to die! This female cultivator of the Yin-Yang lineage only knows Yin-Yang spiritual techniques and isn't skilled in spiritual attacks. I'll devour her soul first, then try to break out. She's protecting that junior controlling the formation; their relationship must be quite close. Maybe I can throw them into disarray."

Thinking this, Du Chen first pretended to attack the Golden Core cultivator from before, making it seem like he was using the same trick again.

After everyone worked together to stop him, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Su Nanzhi.

"not good!"

Xie Linyuan saw Du Chen's actions clearly and instantly guessed his intention, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, no one, including Chang Yuan, had time to stop him, but instead of being nervous, a hint of mockery flashed in Chang Yuan's eyes.

Before the short sword could be recalled, Du Chen had already rushed in front of her. Su Nanzhi opened her mouth slightly and exhaled a ball of blazing spiritual energy.

Having studied the "Innate Two Elements Transformation and Divination Chapter" for many years, she was already able to freely switch between Yin and Yang energies. At this moment, the pure Yang energy she exhaled was three zhang long, like molten iron, pouring directly onto Du Chen's body.

Du Chen gritted his teeth and groaned, determined to charge forward even at the cost of destroying a part of his body.

A hint of panic finally flashed in Su Nanzhi's usually cold gaze.

At the critical moment, a figure stood in front of her, it was Gu Fan.

Du Chen, far from being alarmed, was delighted and laughed wildly, "How dare you, junior, act so arrogantly! Watch as I devour your soul!"

Gu Fan smiled dismissively, and the Guiyuan Furnace in his palm trembled slightly.

Since retreating behind Su Nanzhi, he has been pouring magical power into the furnace.

Facing a Nascent Soul level ghost cultivator, ordinary attacks would hardly be fatal, and he had already secretly prepared this powerful strike.

The next instant, as Du Chen rushed in front of him, the Guiyuan Furnace flashed with light.

Everyone felt a sudden bright light before their eyes, followed by a sharp pain, but they dared not close their eyes, for fear of giving Du Chen an opportunity to take advantage.

Immediately afterwards, the divine light of Taihao, intertwined with blue and white, pierced straight into the sky.

The palm-sized Guiyuan Furnace released divine light that surged like a reversed Milky Way, completely engulfing Duchen within it.

Du Chen's maniacal laughter instantly turned into a mournful scream, and his momentum grew weaker and weaker.

A moment later, the light from the Guiyuan Furnace receded, and the Taihao Divine Light slowly dissipated.

All the people saw was a dim gray shadow frozen in place, so fragile that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

"Heh...heh..." Du Chen murmured hoarsely, looking at Gu Fan with eyes full of terror.

"He's still alive?" Gu Fan raised an eyebrow.

The magical power he had previously injected into the Guiyuan Furnace was several times greater than usual, reaching the limit he could control. He was confident that its power was no less than the sword energy that Guiyun Sword Lord had once bestowed upon him.

Moreover, the Taihao Divine Light is extremely strong and yang, and its power to restrain ghost cultivators is no less than that of thunder magic.

But Du Chen was able to hold on, his resilience far exceeding his expectations.

"I'll give that a try."

A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Fan's mind.
