Swordholder

Moreover, obtaining the Three Lights Spirit Herbs and Medicinal Herbs, as well as the spiritual liquid from the Three Lights Spirit Spring, would undoubtedly give them more confidence in facing the great calamity of being refined into human pills.

"That's right, we're going to die sooner or later anyway, let's grab a big one first."

Li Wei spoke in a low voice, and then the golden greatsword he gripped in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light.

"That's it, let's give it our all!"

Chen Yuan's hair stood on end, his face contorted in a ferocious expression. The dark demonic spiritual power and the evil spiritual power within his body intertwined, clashed, and surged wildly. The two dark forces entwined his meridians, scorching his flesh and blood, forcibly pushing his combat power to its limit!

This time, he will use his dual Condensation Realm to confront the Gathering Moon Realm head-on!

Just as Chen Yuan was about to unleash the power of both Dark Paths in a desperate, self-destructive fight, a cold, indifferent voice, tinged with anger at his incompetence, suddenly rang in his ears, each word piercing to the bone.

"idiot!"

"He possesses a treasure trove of light and radiance, yet he refuses to take it, instead becoming obsessed, demonic, and evil, risking his life in battle."

Do you really think that the orthodox laws of humanity are just a decoration for you to abandon the essential and pursue the trivial?

Chen Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

He instantly unleashed his vast spiritual sense, sweeping across the entire mountaintop. Apart from the old woman Xia Qianqiu sitting atop the mountain, there was no other visible figure.

But he was absolutely certain that this clear and stern voice did not belong to the old woman by the spring.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Yuan's mind. He made a decisive decision and shouted, "You guys hold him off first and buy me some time!"

Everyone glanced at Chen Yuan, nodded without saying a word, and immediately charged towards Qin Wudao.

The next second, several violent auras exploded!

Zhu Xin's body suddenly swelled, transforming once again into a towering, black-maned giant boar several meters tall, with ferocious tusks, its black fur standing on end, and a murderous aura soaring to the sky!

Chi!

With a howling wind and the power to shatter mountains and split rocks, the nine-toothed rake in her hand smashed fiercely toward Qin Wudao's head!

Li Wei wielded a golden giant sword, pouring out all his spiritual energy. The sword's brilliant golden light pierced through the black mist, and the dazzling sword light stretched across the sky, with the sword energy stirring up thousands of layers of air waves!

Li Taiyi was filled with righteous energy, and pure white sword energy soared into the sky, carrying the supreme power to suppress evil and destroy demons, crushing down layer upon layer!

Zhong Yue's giant hammer pierced the air, accompanied by the sound of wind and the roar of tigers. The hammer's shadow was as large as a mountain, and each strike shook the void!

Wang Hu, Gu Chen, and Nuomi followed closely behind, charging in from three directions. In an instant, spear shadows crisscrossed, fists struck like thunder, and long, black-haired spears pierced the night... In the blink of an eye, the seven of them formed a deadly encirclement from all sides!

boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the entire Three Sacred Mountains!

A terrifying energy storm exploded wildly from the center of the battle, causing the spiritual herbs and plants all over the mountain to tremble violently in the gale, and countless miniature protective arrays attached to the spiritual plants to instantly collapse, explode, and be annihilated!

The giant array barrier covering the entire medicinal field twisted and vibrated violently, with layers of golden Dao patterns, spiritual light, and flowing light rising wildly, firmly stabilizing the Three Sacred Mountains that were on the verge of collapse.

Rumble...

The group fought relentlessly, battling from the ground to a height of hundreds of feet, until they were completely engulfed in a thick, inky black sea of ​​fog.

Rumble, rumble...

Dark clouds surged, and the power of Dao and spiritual energy collided endlessly. Each clash erupted with dazzling spiritual light and ear-piercing explosions.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the two sides clashed for over a hundred rounds!

High in the sky, seven or eight streaks of light darted, collided, and fought at high speed, their light and shadows exploding and their roars continuous, causing a sharp pain in people's eardrums.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Golden sword light tore through the black mist, mighty sword energy cleansed away evil, and pitch-black spear shattered all laws!

However, the ghost cultivation power within Qin Wudao's body was even more bizarre and ferocious. The sky was filled with eerie green ghost fire burning fiercely, and the bronze candlestick floated in the void. On the candlestick, the green fire flickered and swayed, emitting a captivating dark halo.

Roar……

Countless pale skulls sprouted, climbed, and roared from the black mist, their sharp ghostly howls piercing eardrums as they frantically attacked the crowd, corroding their protective spiritual energy.

Even more terrifying, the human skin umbrella suspended high in the sky slowly rotated, opening up a deathly dark domain, with a heavy pressure covering the entire area, enveloping everyone within it.

This human skin umbrella was extremely strange. On one hand, it released dark power to enhance the defense and combat power of its own people and offset the suppression of the ghost cultivator's realm. On the other hand, it tightly suppressed Qin Wudao's ghost path power and weakened the power of his killing move.

It was this strange force of checks and balances that allowed a group of low-level Purple Mansion cultivators to hold onto this mid-level Purple Mansion ghost cultivator, barely managing to create a stalemate.

Taking advantage of the stalemate in the high-altitude battle and the fact that everyone's attention was completely diverted, Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly cleared in the medicinal field on the ground, no longer showing any confusion.

He no longer insisted on fighting to the death, his legs were firmly planted on the ground, and all 365 spiritual acupoints on his body opened up at once!

Three hundred and sixty-five pitch-black vortexes instantly appeared around him, spinning at high speed and generating tremendous suction force, frantically plundering the spiritual energy of the three lights that overflowed between heaven and earth.

The fierce battle just now had already shattered the layers of array formations and restrictions covering the entire medicinal field.

Countless golden, silver, and purple three-light spirit fruits fell and rolled down, covering the earth, shimmering with light, their rich spiritual fragrance permeating the surrounding fields, and their extremely pure spiritual energy flowing freely.

At this moment, all the overflowing spiritual energy and drifting spiritual charm were drawn into Chen Yuan's spiritual aperture vortex, transforming into a surging torrent of spiritual energy that rushed into his body like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

He opened his mouth and swallowed with the force of a whale slurping, and all the rare spiritual herbs and ripe spiritual fruits on the ground rose into the air, turning into streams of light and flying into his mouth, without wasting a single one.

The vast and boundless pure spiritual energy of the three lights instantly filled his limbs and bones, cleansing his meridians, tempering his flesh and blood, and flowing rapidly along the meridians throughout his body, eventually all of it flowing into his dantian.

The white vortex in his dantian, which had been rotating steadily, was instantly filled with a massive amount of spiritual energy. Its rotation speed increased dramatically, and it hummed and trembled, showing faint signs of breaking through its shackles and condensing into a Purple Mansion Divine Palace.

Those fighting fiercely high in the sky caught a glimpse of this earth-shattering commotion below, and were all shaken to their core, their moves nearly going awry.

"What...what is he doing?!"

Wang Hu stared in disbelief, nearly dropping the copper hammer from his hand.

Zhu Xin's beautiful eyes widened, her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice was filled with extreme shock: "He's using the righteous path of humanity, trying to advance the righteous path of humanity to the Purple Mansion realm as well!"

"impossible!"

How could he simultaneously absorb the spiritual energy of the Three Lights and the Three Dark Paths, and also devour the energy of the Three Dark Paths, achieving simultaneous cultivation of all three paths? This completely overturns the common sense of cultivation!

Li Taiyi and Gu Chen both looked solemn, their eyes filled with extreme shock!

Chen Yuan's talent and strangeness completely exceeded their understanding.

The being possessed and controlled by the ghost cultivator, Qin Wudao's body, suddenly lost control. Ghostly flames surged in its eyes, and a hoarse, piercing scream tore through the black mist.

"Heavenly Light Daoist Technique!!! It's the Heavenly Light Daoist Technique of the Swordholder!!!"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

The people high in the air suddenly realized what was happening, and were deeply shaken.

"Could he be the Swordholder?"

Wang Hu touched his bald head and exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy? The Swordholder has become the Wolf Guard of the Western Frontier Prefecture?"

Zhu Xin's eyes flickered, and then a thought popped into her mind: "The Heavenly Light Daoist Technique and the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique—could it be that Lu Chengfeng taught them them?"

Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed, and she immediately looked at Li Wei and Nuomi in the void ahead, guessing that the two of them probably also cultivated the Heavenly Light Dao Technique. So she shouted in a deep voice,

"Li Wei, Xiao Nuomi! You two go down quickly to absorb the spiritual energy of the Three Lights and break through! Leave this place to the five of us!"

Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, Wang Hu, and Gu Chen stared at Zhu Xin in astonishment!

Zhu Xin glanced at Zhong Yue. "Stop hiding. I know you're not simple. Just hold off this ghost cultivator controlling Qin Wudao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue did not answer, but simply nodded slightly.

Li Wei and Nuomi exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and with a flash, they transformed into two streaks of light, swooping down and landing steadily in the herb field.

The two simultaneously activated their spiritual apertures, absorbing the remaining spiritual essence of the three lights and the essence of the spiritual herbs scattered on the ground.

Although the absorption speed was not as terrifying as Chen Yuan's, it still stirred up waves of spiritual energy storms, creating astonishing phenomena that left the people in the sky speechless.

"All 365 spiritual apertures are open..."

Zhong Yue stared intently at Chen Yuan, who was rooted to the earth and frantically absorbing spiritual energy below. His throat bobbed, and his voice was dry and trembling.
