Chapter 367

A certain strong emerald-green light pierced through all matter in the surroundings!

It seemed as if the entire space had been contaminated by this Negative Energy filled with destruction!

A suppressed howl echoed in the space.

Mu Yi's surface barrier materialized, isolating the Negative Energy on his surface; this Negative Energy could instantly melt flesh upon contact, and even Mu Yi's current flesh dared not lightly attempt to touch it.

"What a terrifying fellow!"

Mu Yi clicked his tongue slightly; this old golden dragon, even without going mad, he couldn't tell that it was an evil ghost resentful spirit.

The old golden dragon frantically released its power.

The entire space seemed to tremble within the old golden dragon's destructive release of power.

Mu Yi felt like a fearless warrior facing a storm, as if he would be destroyed in the endless storm at any moment.

"Slash!"

Mu Yi's form flashed and vanished; the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword tore through the air, and the old golden dragon swung its claws downward.

The claws and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword collided in midair.

"The soul is surprisingly tenacious!"

Mu Yi somewhat incredulously, the old golden dragon is a soul-formed body, yet in the earlier collision it burst forth with tremendous force that made his limbs go numb.

More importantly, this slash had added his will, yet it left not a single scratch on its claw.

The old golden dragon turned its head, its golden pupils already blood-red, filled with evil power's crimson vertical pupils, full of ferocious intent.

In the next instant, the old golden dragon opened its huge mouth toward Mu Yi and spewed forth a terrifying breath at the area where he was.

"Boom—"

At this moment, a terrifying explosion seemed to appear in the air!

Mu Yi spread his wings to evade, yet the vast range of dragon breath still struck him.

"Detected that the subject suffered an unknown magical strike; conducting magical check (elemental damage)……"

"Check failed; based on the subject's magic resistance, the subject suffered corresponding elemental damage."

"Detected unknown magical effect (mind-related); subject's relevant skills triggered, conducting self-check……"

"Self-check succeeded; you need to endure random magical effects within the limited time."

The dragon breath, with multiple effects mixed together, directly acted upon Mu Yi's body.

In an instant, Mu Yi felt a severe burning pain and a dark stabbing pain filled with yin-cold power.

"Clear Dew Sword! Benevolent Righteous Qi!"

Mu Yi's right hand drew a long sword; the magnificent benevolent righteous Qi shot up to the heavens, instantly clearing all discomfort from his body and restoring it to normal.

Centered on the Clear Dew Sword, a strong burst of positive energy erupted outward.

The old golden dragon let out a painful wail; the benevolent righteous Qi awakened part of its consciousness, and two wills tore at each other on its surface, making it even more frenzied.

"Slash!"

Mu Yi crossed his blades, taking advantage of the old golden dragon's confused consciousness, and directly slashed at its wings.

He had been trying to suppress the old golden dragon's soul through his divine authority, but its resistance was too astonishing; without sufficient divine power to back his divine authority, it could not exert its proper effect.

Therefore, Mu Yi's choice was to first weaken the old golden dragon's soul.

The way to weaken the soul is also simple: use the power of will to destroy it.

Will distorts reality, and deep down, even the mightiest creature does not believe its vital points can withstand attack.

So Mu Yi chose the dragon's wings as his target; blade and sword tore through the air together, severing the old golden dragon's wings.

Almost in the blink of an eye it recovered, but Mu Yi could feel that the old golden dragon's soul, originally indivisible and immovable, now had fissures.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

After confirming it was effective, Mu Yi waved his hand and released heavenly scorching fire; the flames tightly entwined the old golden dragon's body, then his form sped up, and his blades kept slashing.

Wounds from the blades continually appeared on the old golden dragon's body, then continually healed, and the strength of its soul-formed body kept weakening.

And the old golden dragon's confused state left it unable to mount an effective counterattack.

The aimlessly spewed dragon breath could not effectively harm Mu Yi; the Clear Dew Sword's benevolent righteous Qi was precisely the best means to restrain this chaotic dragon breath.

Even as the Clear Dew Sword fell strike after strike, the old golden dragon's sensation of soul tearing became increasingly obvious, shifting from ferocity gradually toward madness.

"Killing Wind!"

The howling killing qi wrapped the old golden dragon like a tornado, but its huge wings slammed down, and the tornado formed by the killing qi was instantly destroyed.

The massive dragon tail swept toward Mu Yi, but at the moment it struck, Mu Yi's form had already vanished from the spot.

The old golden dragon in its confused state was merely a frenzied beast, its attacks lacking any pattern; Mu Yi could easily weave through them and continually attack the old golden dragon.

The old golden dragon's soul was indeed weakened under the relentless attacks, but it was an extremely slow process.

If not for the Clear Dew Sword awakening the old golden dragon's normal will, causing the two wills to slaughter each other, Mu Yi would hardly be able to so easily and leisurely weaken its soul with attacks.

Yet the old golden dragon, possibly a member of the divine, has a soul remarkably tenacious; the body projected by its warped reality is as real as actual flesh.

Constantly weakened, yet it showed not a trace of fatigue.

Mu Yi tried various methods, but to little effect.

Divine authority for Mu Yi is like an ant's talent, enabling him to lift things many times his own weight, but no matter how superb the ant's talent, it cannot directly shake a great tree.

Mu Yi now finds himself in this awkward predicament; scorching fire, hungry ghost dao, benevolent righteous qi, killing qi… a series of means that are very effective against souls, yet now it's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, utterly unable to produce any noticeable effect.

"Reincarnation True Intent!"

In his painful pondering, Mu Yi seized a glimmer of spiritual insight.

"Avīci Hell uses reincarnation means to weaken those unmanageable beings; then I can use reincarnation true intent to deal with souls that are hard to shake!"

As soon as Mu Yi thought of it, he immediately tried; no one can guarantee how long the old golden dragon's confused state will last, and merely coping with this mad old golden dragon made Mu Yi feel his own limits; if it were to break free of the confusion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Mu Yi hopes to think of a solution as quickly as possible.

In the swing of his sword, he attached the true meaning of Reincarnation to it, and this time it took effect instantly.

Each attack makes the old golden dragon's soul seem to experience a whole cycle of Reincarnation, weakening it by one.

"Is this the true Reincarnation?"

Mu Yi, deep in thought, watched the Six Paths Reincarnation Barrier expand rapidly, and the passage opened by the Six Paths rotation allowed the Reincarnation aura to spill out.

Guided by Mu Yi's sword, it swept over the old golden dragon.

The old golden dragon's soul finally began to show changes visible to the naked eye, and even its chaotic struggle waned by three.

"Ghost Gate Suppression!"

When the old golden dragon's soul was no longer immovable, Mu Yi decisively concentrated all the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation into the Animal Realm, using the Ghost Gate to try to suppress the old golden dragon directly.

The massive gate, like a shackling lock, pressed the golden dragon's head into the Animal Realm, and countless chains extended from the barrier to bind the golden dragon's body.

Countless hungry ghosts emerging from the Evil Ghost Realm perched on the golden dragon's body, greedily devouring the old golden dragon's form, converting all their power into the barrier's strength, intensifying the suppression of the old golden dragon.

"Animal Realm Suppression!"

Mu Yi raised his sword high, divine authority radiated fully through his divine seat, and Mu Yi's voice echoed throughout the entire barrier, filled with authority and intolerance of resistance.

The old golden dragon's massive body suddenly plummeted.

As if suppressed by ten thousand times gravity, it dragged the old golden dragon completely into the lowest layer of the Six Paths Reincarnation, with the entire barrier stacked atop the Animal Realm, pressing the old golden dragon firmly in place.

"Aaa!!!"

The old golden dragon's resentful roar shook the barrier, which trembled on the verge of collapse; to maintain the barrier's integrity and suppression, Mu Yi unreservedly poured his Inner Qi like a flood, but within moments it was completely drained.

Mu Yi gritted his teeth and began to draw the Blood God Child power stored in the barrier from the Asura Realm, injecting the massive and pure force into the barrier to press the old golden dragon down.

The mortal realm's army also formed a formation, turning Cloud Energy into several shackles, pressing toward the old golden dragon.

Like a tug‑of‑war, Mu Yi and the old golden dragon began to grapple.

However, the Six Paths Reincarnation Barrier, empowered by the true meaning of Reincarnation, weakens the old golden dragon's power by one each time it completes a rotation.

In just fifteen minutes, the old golden dragon's soul had already been reduced by a third, yet even so, the old golden dragon could still shake the Reincarnation Barrier amid its frantic struggle.

Mu Yi felt heartache; if he could successfully suppress the old golden dragon, his Animal Realm would be like the Asura Realm, and he would not have to worry about where to obtain resources before reaching the fourth tier.

But the power was ultimately insufficient; he could only continue to weaken it.

While his heart ached, Mu Yi thought of a method; he drew from his sleeve the artifact fragments that Wei Qing had given him before, brandished the chief, and used the power of the Commander to manipulate these fragments, slowly aiming at the old golden dragon's struggling body.

In midair, overlooking the old golden dragon's body, Mu Yi's palm suddenly pressed down, and sharp long spikes fell from the sky in the blink of an eye.

With the sharpness granted by the Commander's power, these artifact fragments pierced the old golden dragon's body and merged with it.

The artifact fragments, stained with various divine blood, underwent a strange chemical reaction with the old golden dragon's soul-body.

The old golden dragon, already in a chaotic torn state, grew even more frantic, and the divine remnants on the artifact fragments instinctively began attacking the old golden dragon's soul.

As if sliced by thousands of knives, the old golden dragon's soul endured intense pain.

The old golden dragon struggled even more violently, the Reincarnation Barrier spun wildly, and he could feel that in just a moment, the consumed power was astronomical.

Mu Yi, while pouring even more heart into the suppression, continuously swallowed the miraculous pills from his pack to restore his strength, yet even the Dragon‑Tiger Golden Pill forged before the bright moon was like a drop in the ocean, unable to raise a ripple.

But even so, Mu Yi could only grit his teeth and keep persisting.

He summoned all his incense‑flame golden body back, and poured the incense‑flame power within the golden body into the bottomless pit as well.

"I can't hold on!" Mu Yi's complexion changed dramatically.

In this tug‑of‑war, the old golden dragon clearly possessed a deeper foundation than he did.

"Give it all!"

Four differently shaped items reappeared in Mu Yi's hand, exactly the four artifacts he possessed.

"Suppress!"

With Mu Yi's fully unleashed Commander power activated, the four artifacts turned into meteors, streaking toward the golden dragon's heart, wings, and tail.

"Roar!!!"

The corrupt and Frenzied power erupted again and again, and several artifacts emitted intense brilliance, enveloping all of the old golden dragon's eruptions.

It still could not quell that intense vibration.

"Go die!"

Mu Yi took a deep breath; this time was truly the final measure—if it still failed, he would have to admit defeat and slink away in disgrace.

The Dragon‑Eradication Spear appeared in Mu Yi's hand, and he slashed his palm with the spear tip, letting blood fully soak the entire spear.

Mu Yi exhaled a puff of foul air; the outcome hinged on this move.

The deity was indeed powerful; even an uncontrolled divine soul exhausted all his cards and foundation.

At this moment he even employed a blood‑sacrifice method, using his own essence blood to strengthen the activation of the Commander power, enhancing all the Dragon‑Eradication attributes of the spear to the utmost he could achieve.

"Six Paths Reincarnation!"

The Dragon‑Eradication Spear, like a falling meteor, shot toward the old golden dragon's head.

"Aaaaa!!!"

Amid a sharp roar, the old golden dragon's soul let out a painful wail, and its golden hue suddenly dimmed.

In a burst of violent vibration, the old golden dragon's body fell into stillness.

Mu Yi looked a bit wearily at the Zongwang Prompt; he hadn't expected to also get a free 【God Slayer】 Legend background specialty.

To deal with this old gold Dragon that has gone mad, he really exerted all his effort; indeed, one cannot underestimate any opponent, and in an inconspicuous place, he could set up an unimaginable crisis for you.

However, in the end he was simply a step ahead in skill.
