Chapter 899: What about the Undying Rejuvenation Technique?

On the battlefield outside Tianhong Guan, due to successive fierce fights, the ground, as far as the eye could see, had long turned blackish-red.

Wherever one looked, not a blade of grass grew; mountain after mountain had either been flattened to plains or left only a corner.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, giving an oppressive, murderous feeling.

"If it's useless, it's useless, brothers—just kill."

"Kill."

Seeing that the medicine powder was useless, the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples stopped playing tricks and charged straight at the Withered Ghost Holy Land.

Seeing this, the Withered Ghost Holy Land was not the least bit timid, and likewise rushed forward.

The battle between the two sides was about to erupt; the disciples of the two great holy lands collided like two torrents.

They could be considered old rivals; everyone knew each other's strength.

So there was no pointless probing; as soon as they struck, they gave it their all.

After several fierce battles, the Dao Yi Shengdi also knew how to slay the Withered Ghost Holy Land disciples.

That said, these ghostly things are truly hard to kill.

Their defense isn't particularly strong; it's mainly their terrifying vitality and recovery ability that makes one feel sick.

At the same level, such wounds might be fatal to humans, but to the Withered Ghost Holy Land disciples they are completely insignificant.

Thanks to the Undying Rejuvenation Technique, they can recover quickly.

Speaking of which, the combat power of the Withered Ghost Holy Land is absolutely the weakest among the three holy lands of the Undying Race.

The Dao Yi Shengdi disciples know this well; they cannot compare to the Blood Refining Holy Land.

But these guys are just disgusting; though their strength isn't strong, they are extremely draining.

Especially that Undying Rejuvenation Technique of theirs seems inexhaustible; there's simply no such thing as running out of power.

Thus, often it is the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples whose spiritual energy is drained to exhaustion while the opponent still looks vigorous and lively, making one grit their teeth in anger.

This is also a characteristic of the Undying Rejuvenation Technique.

By drawing power from the earth, like a tree taking root, as long as they aren't instantly killed, they can continuously mobilize earth's power.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of the Undying Rejuvenation Technique.

The battle situation seemed to return to how it was before.

Relying on their strong combat power, the Dao Yi Shengdi quickly gained the upper hand after contact.

But don't think this means they've gained an advantage; for the Withered Ghost Holy Land, such an opening is quite normal.

Now it appears the Dao Yi Shengdi are completely suppressing them, but what does that matter?

You also can't win; as time passes, the Withered Ghost Holy Land can gradually wear you down through attrition.

So the Dao Yi Shengdi aren't happy about this either, since they already knew the outcome would be like this.

"Although we've fought many times, I still feel these ghostly things are really disgusting."

Xu Jie swore angrily; just now, the Withered Ghost Holy Land inner disciple he was fighting had his abdomen pierced through by Xu Jie's sword in just a few moves.

It clearly looked like a serious injury; if it were a human cultivator, even if immortal, it would definitely count as a severe wound.

But this Withered Ghost Holy Land inner disciple didn't care at all, and the bloody hole in his abdomen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if he hadn't been injured at all; his aura showed no weakening, not even a flicker.

Truly disgusting, Xu Jie curled his lip in displeasure.

To slay these Withered Ghost Holy Land disciples, one must truly exert all strength, use every means, inflict wound upon wound, and blast them down before they can recover—only then is it possible.

It's really exhausting.

Often after expending enormous energy, the final battle might yield only one or two kills of Withered Ghost Holy Land disciples, and sometimes not even a single one is successfully slain.

This causes the disciples' points to increase slowly—how could one not be angry?

I originally thought this time would also be a bitter struggle.

After all, every previous encounter was like that, entangled to the end without a clear victor.

However, what nobody expected was that, as the fight went on, these Withered Ghost Holy Land disciples seemed a bit off.

Xu Jie inflicted a third severe injury on that inner disciple opposite him.

But this time, when the opponent used the Undying Rejuvenation Technique, his complexion changed slightly.

Xu Jie also noticed this, because the opponent's injury recovery speed seemed to have slowed a bit.

"Is it an illusion?"

He felt doubtful, so he looked again.

The fierce battle continued, but as the fight went on, the condition of the Withered Ghost Holy Land inner disciple facing Xu Jie became increasingly abnormal.

One, the healing of his wounds was getting slower and slower.

Another, his aura, which had never shown any fluctuation from start to finish, now showed signs of weakening—though slight, Xu Jie's keen perception caught it.

One must know, the Undying Rejuvenation Technique has the function of drawing earth's power to heal oneself.

Therefore, as long as one isn't instantly killed, it's basically impossible for the aura to become unstable or weaken.

But now, this guy's aura is indeed gradually weakening.

Xu Jie still hadn't figured out what was going on, but the inner disciple of the Withered Ghost Holy Land opposite him had already been cursing in his heart.

From the very beginning, this disciple had felt that something was wrong with himself.

The main reason is that the operation of the Undying Rejuvenation Technique has become increasingly difficult, as if something were obstructing it.

Trying to complete a circuit, it felt as if every node had a problem, making it extremely unsmooth.

How to describe this feeling? It's like a river with nine bends and eighteen turns, yet each bend is blocked by many large stones or tree trunks.

This causes the river's flow to become ever more difficult.

Moreover, more and more large stones and tree trunks keep appearing, until finally the water flow is completely blocked.

This disciple now feels this way.

It is also quite bewildered; since beginning to cultivate the Undying Rejuvenation Technique, this is still the first time it has encountered such a situation.

Currently, the wound heals ever more slowly; gradually, old wounds remain unhealed while new ones are added.

If this continues, the outcome is easy to imagine.

Just as this disciple tried in vain to forcefully break through these obstacles, Xu Jie suddenly spoke.

"You have a problem?"

His eyes held suspicion, excitement, and a hint of doubt.

Xu Jie can now be certain that the guy opposite must have some problem; just look at the injuries on its body now—there are already many.

Those earlier wounds have not healed up to now, clearly indicating a problem.

But regarding this, the Inner Disciple naturally could not admit it, snorted coldly, and spoke stubbornly.

"Hmph, how could that be?"

"Really? You'll know if you try."

Whether he admits it or not doesn't matter; continuing the fight will naturally reveal the result. Meanwhile, Xu Jie secretly wondered, could it be that Peak Master Muyou's medicine powder is taking effect?

Can that thing really work? If that's the case, then things would be much simpler.
