All of the protagonist's Daoist partners are mine!

"What? There's an ambush?" Ge Zhanren was stunned.

"You audacious demonic lackey, daring to commit violence in broad daylight! Die!" Yan Lingyun descended from the sky wielding a white-striped golden spear.

Chapter 128: 45 The Little Chosen One: We Demonic Cultivators are Too Strong!

The magic weapon spear that Yan Lingyun used was a superior magic weapon, the Burning Heaven and Scorching Earth Divine Spear, which had been passed down from generation to generation among the Great Sun Saintesses and was close to a divine weapon.

When the divine spear was unleashed, the earth blazed with fire, and flames enveloped the land for thousands of miles.

The Great Sun Immortal Sect primarily uses fire-based cultivation techniques, and nine out of ten of its Holy Maidens throughout history possess top-grade fire spiritual roots. Coupled with this divine spear that can greatly enhance fire-based spiritual power, the Holy Maidens of the Great Sun Immortal Sect have never been at a disadvantage in battles between their peers from the five major immortal sects.

Yan Lingyun, with her top-grade gold spiritual root and superior-grade fire spiritual root, activated this fire-type divine spear forged from ancient flame gold, making it the most effective weapon among all the saintesses of the past.

With just one basic attack, Ge Zhan, who was under the full protection of the Soul Elder, had half of his body burned away.

"Caw! What are you stirring?!" Ge Zhan felt a sharp pain in his lower body, his skin was torn open, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Looking down, he saw that his lower body had been burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Elder Soul: "Still standing there in a daze? Quickly use the treasure I left you!"

"!" Ge Zhan snapped out of his daze and took out a drop of green liquid from his treasure pouch.

The wood-attribute spiritual energy instantly enveloped his entire body, allowing his severed body to regenerate and his injuries to be fully healed.

Yan Lingyun raised an eyebrow upon seeing this: "Yi Wood Divine Water?"

This is a priceless treasure; even a Nascent Soul stage expert would drool over it. Not every elder of the Great Sun Immortal Sect can possess even a single drop, which shows just how precious it is.

This substance possesses boundless vitality; those who cultivate wood-attribute techniques can improve their cultivation by smelling it daily. If used to heal injuries, it can even bring a Nascent Soul stage cultivator back from the brink of death.

It would be a terrible waste to throw it at a mere Foundation Establishment junior.

"The Divine Water of Yi Wood can save your life once, but can it save you a second time?" Yan Lingyun brandished her divine spear again.

It was just a basic attack, but it was a basic attack from the peak of the combined attack!

Boom! The subterranean fire formed a towering wall of magma, completely engulfing the miasma-filled valley stretching for hundreds of miles. Xia Lingxue's attack, which had frozen the land for thousands of miles, had already been completely evaporated by the effect of the first shot.

"Hey, Senior Sister Yan, your move is really like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. What if there are some wild cultivators watching the show nearby? Wouldn't you not even have a chance to escape?" Xing Moxie appeared behind her with a smile, carrying the unconscious Xia Lingxue in his hand.

After losing consciousness, the girl's body felt limp, and her lower abdomen felt quite comfortable to the touch.

"To deal with demonic cultivators, we should do everything we can to eradicate them completely."

Yan Lingyun had actually arrived long ago, and she had witnessed the entire battle between Ge Zhan and the Dragon King Palace members.

It was a bizarre attack of divine sense, an evil soul-refining formation, and a strange method of summoning remnant souls to possess bodies. No matter how you looked at it, it was not something the righteous path would do.

They even know the sword techniques of their Great Sun Immortal Sect. Could it be that the demon has planted a spy in the Immortal Sect beforehand?

This explains why, even though the demon had only been at the Great Sun Immortal Sect for a few days, she already had followers willing to kill and rob for her. It turns out she had been prepared all along.

At that moment, a burning figure burst out from the endless sea of ​​fire, desperately fleeing into the distance.

Ge Zhan smashed all the protective magical artifacts in his treasure pouch before barely managing to save his life: "Damn it! All the possessions my master left me... What on earth happened today? I took down a Nascent Soul cultivator, and now another Integration cultivator has appeared? I'm only at Foundation Establishment!"

Ge Zhan felt utterly pissed off.

Which big tiger did we step on? Even a powerful figure from another region has appeared?

Elder Hun reminded her, "She and the girl with the ice spirit root from before shouldn't be on the same side."

“How come you see?”

"If I'm not mistaken, this person is the Great Sun Saintess of this generation. In any case, run!"

Ge Zhan's body was covered with speed-enhancing talismans, increasing his speed by more than a hundred times.

Even if you use a teleportation talisman to wrap him up like a mummy, he's still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How can he run away from the methods of a Fusion stage master?

"You think you can escape?" Yan Lingyun remained suspended in mid-air, raising her hand to grab in the direction Ge Zhan was fleeing.

With a hum, a powerful spiritual force swept through, sealing off the space.

Ge Zhan rushed forward desperately, but the distance between him and Yan Lingyun behind him kept shrinking.

It's a spatial spell, a method of compressing space!

Seeing that this unfortunate little chosen one was about to fall into Yan Lingyun's hands, Xing Moxie couldn't sit still any longer.

"Can you be a little more efficient, buddy? If you're going to die, at least try to keep your body intact, okay? Don't let your top-grade earth elemental root inside you be burned to ashes."

"Master, save me!" Ge Zhan cried out in despair; he was truly at his wit's end.

The old man sighed, "I will burn a portion of my divine soul and offer you my full power for a few breaths. But whether you can escape from the Great Sun Saintess depends on your own fate."

For the old soul who is now only a remnant of his soul, burning his divine soul would be the death of him. Right now, he has no choice but to take this gamble.

Buzz—Ge Zhan felt an endless power erupt from his sea of ​​consciousness. This power gave him an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, a powerful feeling as if he could trample all things under his feet.

Such power, such strength, such domineering power! Is this the perspective of a master at the Fusion Stage?!

If it were any other time, having unleashed such immense power, he would surely have turned around and fought his opponent head-on.

But too many strange things happened today. He was repeatedly defeated in his attempts to "recycle" the jade talisman, suffering several setbacks at once, which made him feel like reality had worn down his edges.

Not daring to let down the old man's sacrifice, Ge Zhan immediately unleashed his full spiritual power, combining it with the Divine Speed ​​Talisman to break free from the spatial blockade.

Xing Moxie whistled and exclaimed, "Whoosh~ This kid is amazing!"

—That's more like it. This is how a child of destiny should be. Go ahead and unleash your trump cards.

Yan Lingyun was greatly surprised: "What kind of method does this demonic cultivator use? How could he raise his cultivation level so much in an instant?"

There are techniques that can improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time.

Techniques that allow one to advance to a higher realm are extremely rare, and they also consume one's lifespan.

To advance two major realms is something unheard of.

This kid just casually mentioned four major realms. Is there no law or order here? Even cultivation should abide by basic laws, okay?

Upon hearing the words of the Great Sun Saintess, Ge Zhan was puzzled—a demonic cultivator? I've been identified as a demonic cultivator? Perfect.

"Hahaha!" Ge Zhan laughed loudly behind him, "How could you possibly imagine the methods and techniques of our demonic arts? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, the Great Sun Saintess, today's grudge, I, the Cloud Roc Demon General, will surely seek revenge on you in the future!"

He knew that even if he went back to explain, he would only face certain death, as the other party was clearly after the jade talisman.

It would be better to take on the title of demonic cultivator, so that they wouldn't be tracked down after escaping back to the Ge family.

Xing Moxie was stunned—what the hell? The Little Chosen One admitted to being a demonic cultivator? He even came up with a demonic title? Going to such lengths to hide his true identity is truly ruthless.

—This speech, however, needs improvement. First of all, the laughter just doesn't feel right. How can a demonic cultivator laugh "haha"? It should at least be "hehehe." And then there's "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"—is that a villain's phrase? It's so imprecise.

"Senior Sister Yan, you're not going to let this kid slip away right under your nose, are you?" Xing Moxie said with a wicked grin, stirring things up. "If you let him go and the Demon Lord finds out that you stopped his plan to rob the jade talisman, he will definitely suspect that you know his identity."

"I don't need you to say anything more." Yan Lingyun was truly enraged, and a golden crow afterimage flashed behind her.

The next instant, Yan Lingyun appeared a thousand miles away, blocking Ge Zhan's path.

Xing Moxie: "Whoosh~ The Golden Crow Battle Body lives up to its name."

Chapter 129: 46. Stress Response Based on Qi and Luck

Yan Lingyun's Golden Crow Battle Body is an excellent physique that matches her Golden Fire Spiritual Root.

Everything about her complements each other perfectly, with nothing superfluous. From the perspective of cultivation, she is like a meticulously designed work of art, exquisitely beautiful.

One of the key characteristics of the Golden Crow Battle Body is speed. Without relying on magical artifacts or secret techniques, if we only consider speed, Yan Lingyun is probably even faster than Xiao Fan.

Faced with a speed that even our chosen one cannot match, what makes you, Ge Zhan, a mere chosen one, think you can outrun us?

"Caw!" Ge Zhan shouted, and quickly stopped.

He was puzzled when he turned around and couldn't see Yan Lingyun's figure a second ago, but when he turned his head, he saw a blazing sun blocking his way. In the center of the golden halo was a golden crow's afterimage, and in the center of the golden crow's afterimage was clearly the woman who was about to blast him down.

How could this woman finish so quickly?!

Ge Zhan suddenly felt an invisible heat wave scorching his consciousness, and immediately panicked.

Even the Elder Soul cried out in despair, "Oh no! Get away from her quickly, this is the Golden Crow Battle Body!"

The second major characteristic of the Golden Crow Battle Body is the Soul-Burning Flame.

Once this battle body is cultivated to its full potential, it can inflict burning injuries on cultivators within a certain range whose spiritual strength is lower than its own by burning their spiritual sense.

Yan Lingyun is currently at the peak of the Integration Stage. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot get within ten steps of her, and a Core Formation cultivator will die if they enter within a thousand steps. As for Golden Core cultivators, if they are within a ten-mile radius, their souls will be instantly burned to ashes and they will die.

Even when fighting against cultivators of the same realm, as long as the Golden Crow Battle Body is activated, one can continuously weaken the opponent's divine sense in repeated clashes.

Even with Soul Elder's full protection, Ge Zhan's consciousness still couldn't withstand the area-of-effect (AOE) effect of the Golden Crow Battle Body.

Xing Moxie knew all too well how powerful Yan Lingyun's battle physique was.

Back then, he had a Nascent Soul cultivator under his command, known as the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Lord, who wielded the Southern Ten Thousand Souls Banner. One banner was stronger than six, and he was skilled at gathering the divine consciousness of ten thousand people to kill enemies.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Souls was invincible until he encountered Yan Lingyun in the middle of the war between good and evil.

At that time, Yan Lingyun had just mastered the Battle Body through a fortuitous opportunity, and her cultivation had also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Protected by the Golden Crow Battle Body, the souls of ten thousand vengeful spirits could not approach her. After months of fierce fighting, Yan Lingyun managed to exhaust the Myriad Soul Banner with the domineering power of her battle body, and finally killed the Myriad Soul Demon Lord with a spear.

Even a powerful soul cultivator like the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Souls was defeated, so how could Ge Zhan, a mere child of destiny who has not yet grown up, possibly resist?

"Heh heh heh, even a chosen one of destiny is powerless to turn the tide under such a huge gap in strength?" Xing Moxie couldn't help but sneer.

Next, we just need to wait for the Golden Crow Battle Body to burn Ge Zhan's soul to ashes, then Xing Moxie can go up and loot the corpse, hoping to get some top-grade spiritual roots.

"Ok?"

Xing Moxie noticed that Ge Zhan's aura of fortune suddenly brightened and radiated.

"This is!?"

According to Sister Zhong's previous statement, this is a sign that an opportunity is approaching.

This kid is almost dead, how could he possibly have a chance?

Yan Lingyun snorted coldly: "Die."

A wisp of soul flame separated from the afterimage of the golden crow and rushed towards Ge Zhan.

"Master, save me!" Ge Zhan cried out desperately.

The old man manifested his spiritual form, using his overwhelming divine sense to shield his disciple: "Don't harm my disciple! Disperse!"

The soul flames that were burning away one's divine consciousness were actually weakened by 30% by his miraculous technique.

"The Great Sun Dividing Spirit Technique?" Yan Lingyun recognized the origin of this move.

Isn't this the superior soul cultivation technique of her Great Sun Immortal Sect? This is a high-level technique that even true disciples can't access! Just what is the origin of this remnant soul?

Although the Great Sun Divine Dividing Technique was used to weaken it, the wisp of soul flame separated from the Golden Crow Battle Body was still powerful. It collided and exploded in mid-air with the Soul Elder's divine sense defense, causing the space to tremble and the souls of living things within ten thousand miles to be scattered.

The Elder Soul suffered severe injuries and withdrew from the Ancient Ring.

Ge Zhan was so shocked that his eyes rolled back and he fell from the sky, with a bottomless cliff below.

Just then, a surge of spiritual energy emanated from the bottom of the cliff he was falling towards, and a spatial portal opened out of thin air.

"What?!" Xing Moxie exclaimed in surprise.

That is, a secret realm?

It seems that the spatial tremor just now accidentally opened the door to the mysterious secret realm that was originally hidden in this space.

Seeing Ge Zhan fall into it, Yan Lingyun was about to give chase when the gate to the secret realm rapidly shrank and disappeared.

"Open!" Yan Lingyun swung her spear, tearing through space. Only a dark, ethereal spear mark remained beneath the cliff.

She probably intended to use force to pursue them. However, the secret realm was no longer in its original location after the gate closed, causing her shot to miss its target.

"Damn it, how did he get away?" Yan Lingyun thought to herself, annoyed.

Since her debut, she has experienced countless near-death experiences and thrilling escapes. But letting her target escape from her grasp is a first, let alone when the target is just a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This feeling is even more disgusting than swallowing a fly.

Xing Moxie gave a wry smile. He understood that feeling; he understood it all too well.

That's the feeling he had when he tried so hard to assassinate the chosen one, hoping to kill Xiao Fan in advance, but failed time and time again.

"Good lad, you survived falling off a cliff and even made it into the secret realm." Xing Moxie looked at the cliff.

So this is the opportunity that Ge Zhan's luck aura brightened up for?

"Shound, come out here and explain this to me. Is this secret realm that appeared out of nowhere also due to the power of fate?"
