Chapter 99: The Mysterious Woman

"Lingyun, stop quickly!"

Just as Ye Lingyun was swooping down, an urgent warning suddenly rang out in his mind.

However, this warning came a bit too late.

By the time this voice sounded, Ye Lingyun, whose reason had been drowned by rage, had already charged into the coverage area of the Array.

A force of suppression struck.

The Spiritual Power and even the Soul power within his body instantly fell silent.

After losing his Spiritual Power, he directly demonstrated what a free-fall motion was.

He fell straight toward the ground.

Ye Lingyun's brain, previously drowned by hatred, instantly regained its calm, and his murderous, crimson eyes also became much clearer.

He was currently a full hundred zhang away from the ground.

He had not specifically trained his body, and without Spiritual Power to protect it, if he were to fall directly like this, he would likely be smashed into a pulp of flesh!

Just as he was somewhat panicked and at a loss, a voice suddenly came from his mind.

"Collect your thoughts, do not resist."

"Master!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Lingyun's expression turned joyful, and he hurriedly did as instructed.

The next moment, a strange consciousness took over his body.

A powerful and unfamiliar Soul power surged within his body, and the suppression force of the Forbidden Array was forcibly pushed out of his body.

His Spiritual Power instantly recovered from its silence and rapidly increased.

In the blink of an eye, it crossed the Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection and reached the Golden Core Initial Stage.

The moment before he was about to hit the ground, his body instantly halted its downward momentum and hovered in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's pupils constricted, his gaze fixed straight onto the White Jade Ring on Ye Lingyun's hand.

This ring again.

In the Cold Pool Secret Realm, a flash of light from this ring had caused Ye Lingyun's strength to increase significantly.

Just now, Ye Lingyun's cultivation had clearly been successfully suppressed, yet it was this ring again; with a flash of light, it allowed him to shake off the suppression force of the Forbidden Array.

Moreover, the power within this ring seemed even more powerful than it was back then.

It had actually boosted Ye Lingyun's cultivation directly from Foundation Establishment Late Stage to Golden Core Initial Stage!

"What exactly is hidden inside this ring!"

"Such a powerful treasure, if only I could obtain it..."

Thinking of this, a glimmer of light could not help but flash in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Just at this moment, Ye Lingyun suddenly looked over.

He did not know if it was an illusion.

Wang Jianqiang always felt that Ye Lingyun's gaze was not quite right.

In the past, when Ye Lingyun looked at him, the chill in his gaze was not concealed at all.

Just a moment ago, there was even an unresolvable hatred added to it.

However, at this moment, Ye Lingyun's expression was completely calm.

The gaze directed at him was incomparably indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation.

It was as if an immortal were looking at a mortal, or like a human looking at an ant.

It was a kind of contempt that came from the heart.

It was as if he had changed into a different person.

Wang Jianqiang could not understand how a person's temperament could change so drastically in an instant.

Just as Wang Jianqiang frowned.

Ye Lingyun suddenly moved.

He raised his palm and pointed forward.

A finger imprint tore through the air.

"Dharma Heaven and Earth!"

"Pure Yang Power!"

Facing Ye Lingyun, whose cultivation had already surged to the Golden Core Initial Stage, Wang Jianqiang dared not be the slightest bit careless and directly unleashed his full strength.

Boom!

He threw a punch, kicking up a terrifying air blast.

He blasted the finger imprint to pieces.

And the power of the exploding finger imprint also completely neutralized the force of his punch.

"Oh, physical strength?"

"You, a mere Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, actually possess such powerful physical strength."

A voice of surprise came from Ye Lingyun's mouth.

What made Wang Jianqiang somewhat astonished was that this voice did not belong to Ye Lingyun.

Instead, it was a beautiful female voice!

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

The ring itself had no effect of boosting strength at all.

The one who truly allowed Ye Lingyun to shake off the Array's suppression and caused his strength to surge was the person inside the ring.

A powerful woman hiding inside the ring!

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat.

To be able to forcibly resist the power of the Forbidden Array, this woman's cultivation must be at least at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Thinking of this, a flash of worry crossed his face.

Immediately after, he calmed down again.

No!

If this woman were so powerful, she could have appeared directly to destroy him.

Since she did not act directly but instead used Ye Lingyun to strike, it means she likely cannot leave the ring, or leaving the ring would come at a great cost.

Moreover, although she blocked the power of the Forbidden Array, she did not block it completely.

Otherwise, Ye Lingyun's cultivation would not have simply increased to the Golden Core Initial Stage.

Just at this moment, the indifferent female voice came again, "Although your physical body is strong, it cannot resist me. If this is all the strength you have, you will not be able to escape with your life from my hands today."

Before the words had faded, she slowly raised her palm and made a grabbing motion toward Wang Jianqiang.

The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted suddenly.

Endless ice crystals condensed, transforming into a giant ice hand that swiped toward Wang Jianqiang.

The giant hand had not yet descended.

A terrifying chill had already invaded toward Wang Jianqiang.

His physique, which contained the power of the Dao Spirit Pattern, was actually unable to fully resist it and began to stiffen.

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

This woman's methods were extremely powerful.

Although she was only using Ye Lingyun's body, her cultivation was restricted to the Golden Core Initial Stage.

Yet the strength she displayed far surpassed Ye Zhenshan.

With his current strength, he was clearly unable to contend with the opponent.

However, he did not show the slightest hint of panic.

The power of the Dao Spirit Pattern was not his limit.

Since the power of the Dao Spirit Pattern was not enough, then he would continue to grow stronger!

With a thought, he added one Supernatural Ability Point to the Bankruptcy Version Law of Heaven and Earth.

"Ding, the awakening level of the Law of Heaven and Earth has increased."

"Bankruptcy Version Law of Heaven and Earth: Epic Grade, can freely change body size, physique increases after changing. Current awakening level: Intermediate, physical change and amplification degree: 2 times. Supernatural Ability Points required for further awakening: 2."

He had originally wanted to continue increasing the awakening level of the Law of Heaven and Earth, but then his heart stirred, and he changed his mind.

He added all the remaining 3 Supernatural Ability Points to the Pure Yang Power, and the awakening level of the Pure Yang Power instantly increased to Advanced.

"Pure Yang Power: White Gold Grade, a breath of Pure Yang energy, can increase physical stamina and recovery speed after activation. Current awakening level: Advanced, increase magnitude: 3 times."

Following the improvement of the two great Supernatural Abilities, Wang Jianqiang's body size surged once again.

His strength also surged along with it to the power of the Dao Spirit Pattern.

His body shook.

The frost on his skin dissipated entirely.

He threw a punch.

The giant ice palm shattered instantly.

The terrifying fist force seemed to transform into a wave, directly slapping Ye Lingyun away.

At this moment, the indifference on Ye Lingyun's face finally dissipated.

Replacing it was a look of shock.

His expression instantly became grave, "You were actually hiding your strength just now!"

Wang Jianqiang sneered, not responding.

He threw another punch.

Ye Lingyun pressed his palm forward, and an ice wall condensed into existence.

The next moment, the ice wall shattered.

Ye Lingyun spat blood and was sent flying again.

"Lingyun, this brat's physical body is strong."

"If we were in the outside world, I would be able to erupt with the power of the Nascent Soul Stage and kill him with ease."

"But now, inside this Array, my strength is suppressed, and it is difficult to rival him."

"If this continues, you and I will surely be defeated."

"In a moment, I will self-detonate fifty percent of my origin to break through the Array for an instant; you must seize the opportunity to escape immediately."

"Otherwise, your life will be in danger today!"
