transforming into black light—and vanished from the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Bind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled from Liu Tiezhu’s lips, his face as pale as paper, his finger pointing upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black light spread—the mountain spirit’s headless body tumbled down from the void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanye’s Life Continuity, Yinyin’s Frost and Snow attachment, and the springtime magic of the plant spirits all bolstered Jiang Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian rose with his sword, its blade blazing with incandescent flame, slashing toward the mountain ghost’s neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sank deep into flesh and bone, driving violently through the mountain ghost’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Jiang Jian’s Shenque, spiritual energy surged forth in full force, pouring entirely into the sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade blazed with radiant light, its flame roaring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It split the mountain ghost clean from top to bottom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanye’s “Life Continuity” restored much of Jiang Jian’s spiritual energy once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian swung his sword horizontally, unleashing dozens of strikes in rapid succession!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swordlight surged like a tide, violently hacking and slashing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain ghost’s shattered remains were shredded by the incandescent swordlight, dissolving into a storm of black light, utterly obliterated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the mountain ghost’s spirit form shattered, its vast spiritual essence was drawn by Hangguang into the sword and delivered deep into Jiang Jian’s Shenque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cavern, silence fell instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing was hard to kill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tiezhu sat heavily on the ground, wiping blood from his lips, forcing a weak smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two plant spirits continuously cast healing spells, restoring the wounds of all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown bear spirit lay nearby, covered in deep wounds, barely clinging to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green light orbs resting upon it steadily mended its injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These yin crystals are excellent materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanye lifted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black crystals continuously condensed in the air and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These crystals glowed with an eerie black hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At every moment, they emitted an overwhelming concentration of yin energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinyin whispered, “It’s a pity we couldn’t harvest its most precious essence—it’s such a waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanye nodded: “When a living being dies, its essence returns to its origin and fades away quietly. Only those at the Spring Source realm can collect essence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she directed one of the plant spirits to gather the yin crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These yin crystals are already a windfall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More valuable than the wrought iron we found last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew still; no more yin crystals fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wounds, steadily healed, had recovered about seventy to eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-20T01:21:34.271Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","933f827bc0d2f5f76635b4b1773f89e77cf0ad2c169be310a01d4a79c3f2d3a7","ascending-to-divinity-chapter-95","ascending-to-divinity-chapter-93",306,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fascending-to-divinity-cover.jpg"]
