Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi

Chapter 373 - 275: Fierce Battle with the Seven Sects! (Part 2)

The battlefield at the Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters has reached a critical turning point:

At this moment——

Zhang Yao, who had just broken free from numerous magical treasures and Divine Techniques, along with the newly freed Nether Abyss Ancestor, simultaneously chose to seize the opportunity to launch a pincer attack on the true core of the Seven Sects Alliance—’Chenxing Celestial King’ Murong Xiao!

However, due to a strategic misjudgment, the many Golden Core Cultivators missed the first opportunity to assist, making it too late to lend him a hand.

"Swish!" "Swish!"...

Zhang Yao transformed into a rainbow streak and charged forward. While his true form was still en route, he pushed both palms simultaneously and, as his Magical Power surged, he unleashed sixteen Purple Thunder Beads in one go, whistling through the air!

These Purple Thunder Beads seemed unremarkable at first, smooth and lustrous like ordinary sandalwood beads, but in reality, they concealed a tremendous explosive thunder power, with destructive power far surpassing that of an Early Stage Golden Core!

Zhang Yao knew well that with so many adversaries, this opportunity for a coordinated pincer attack might only appear once. He had to seriously injure the opponent’s core in a short time to establish a significant advantage!

And the Nether Abyss Ancestor evidently thought the same way.

Thus, without hesitation, he activated the most powerful magical treasure in his possession, shaking his sleeve to unleash a dim beam of black light, which was none other than his Lifebound Magical Treasure!

In the battle with Ascendant Tianying, he was able to suppress the eight Black Death Beasts with overwhelming force, partly through his talent for Devouring Black Tide Power and partly through his Lifebound Magical Treasure—the Black Abyss Light-Piercing Shuttle!

After eliminating the Black Death Beasts from within, he lost the related Black Tide Power talent, but having ascended to the Golden Core Perfection realm and cultivated and nurtured it for years, the power of his Lifebound Magical Treasure now far exceeded its past strength.

"Wooo..."

The spindle-shaped shuttle transformed into a beam of black light, emitting a strange, piercing wail as it charged directly towards the back of Murong Xiao’s heart, intending to pierce through both his heart and chest!

At this moment, Murong Xiao found himself in an unprecedented perilous situation.

To face and resist the lethal moves of two powerful adversaries head-on was far from wise. The best response was naturally to avoid the edge temporarily, circle around and strike, waiting for the many Golden Core Cultivators to arrive and then calmly respond.

But Murong Xiao neither retreated half a step, nor did he even furrow his brow.

His Divine Thought locked tightly onto the sixteen incoming Thunder Beads, a trace of seriousness in his eyes, while the ominous black light from behind seemed to escape his notice, as if he didn’t care at all.

"You’re courting death yourself!!"

The Nether Abyss Ancestor, upon detecting his posture, flashed a hint of anger and viciousness in his eyes. His Magical Power and Divine Thought shook simultaneously, and the malevolence of the black light intensified by threefold.

He was in the dignified Golden Core Perfection realm, and for Murong Xiao to take such risks against a peer of the same rank, if not courting death, then what?

The Black Abyss Light-Piercing Shuttle, being a true magical treasure, eventually outstripped the distance and struck Murong Xiao’s back first!

Yet just as the Nether Abyss Ancestor had no time to feel joy in his heart:

"Wooo..."

The strange, piercing wail hadn’t stopped for a moment, and the Black Abyss Light-Piercing Shuttle brimming with lethal power penetrated straight through Murong Xiao’s body as if striking into a void!

"What happened?!"

The Nether Abyss Ancestor was stunned for an instant, feeling a sense of incredulity.

No matter how formidable a Golden Core Cultivator might be, it shouldn’t be possible to ignore a peer’s all-out blow, especially a lethal move. No protective Divine Technique could achieve this, right? How could he remain unaffected at all?

And right in front of him, Zhang Yao, with his Divine Thought locked in, ’saw’ everything clearly:

In that instant, Murong Xiao’s form began to vibrate and virtualize rapidly, with a layer of extremely deep darkness emerging from his chest area.

This was precisely the Divine Technique documented in the Chentian Sect’s secret texts, which had just saved Murong Hai’s life, the ’Celestial Void Free Body’, and when employed by Murong Xiao himself, it was more than twice as effective as the solidified Secret Technique!

The seemingly certain strike of the Nether Abyss Ancestor’s Black Abyss Light-Piercing Shuttle penetrated directly through this layer of invisible darkness, not a single bit of power unleashed upon Murong Xiao.

"So that’s it!"

Zhang Yao’s eyes flickered, and he immediately grasped the profoundness of this Divine Technique.

The opponent’s protective Divine Technique was also a common virtualization school, but when pushed to the extreme, it could transform part of his body into the purest Yin Dark Attribute Spirit Essence!

The Nether Abyss Ancestor’s Lifebound Magical Treasure was nurtured with dark attribute Magical Power, and the same source of power couldn’t possibly harm the intangible Spiritual Qi!

"No wonder this person dared to completely disregard the Nether Abyss Ancestor’s treasure. So, this was his backing!"

"This protective Divine Technique imposes great suppression on cultivators of the same attribute!"

"Unless the Magical Power is purer than his, or there are special means, otherwise cultivators with the same attribute can hardly harm him!"

In an instant, Zhang Yao realized that in this brief and hasty ambush, the Nether Abyss Ancestor was virtually of no use.

And all these thoughts flashed, swift as lightning, within just a moment.

"Wooo..."

After a brief shock, despite being still shaken, the Nether Abyss Ancestor’s actions showed no sign of slowing; instinctively, he manipulated the Black Abyss Light-Piercing Shuttle to make a turn, this time directly aiming for Murong Xiao’s head.

And at this moment, the sixteen Purple Thunder Beads that had come whistling through the air finally reached within a hundred-foot range in front of Murong Xiao, just about to all explode and transform into Thunder Purgatory to engulf him!
