Chapter 828: Soul Transformation Battle, Is It a Blessing or a Curse

~20 min read 3,929 words

"Ancestor Bone-White!"

Before the "Grand Void Gate" crowd could see clearly whose bone skull this was, someone among the demonic cultivators blocked by the "Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Formation" recognized the somewhat familiar aura on it and couldn't help but exclaim.

This bone skull was a Dharma incarnation of the Soul Transformation demonic cultivator "Bone-White Old Demon," a magical power that this great demon, who had been famous in the "Donghuang Immortal Continent," had not used for over a thousand years.

Just as everyone was full of shock, two streaks of spiritual light flew out rapidly from the valley. They were none other than Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon," who had just rushed down to open the True Demon seal below.

It was just that these two demons, after escaping the valley, had absolutely no arrogant aura on their faces; the "Bone-White Old Demon’s" mouth even had a trace of blood remaining.

"The situation has changed, retreat quickly!"

After spitting out a sentence to the demonic cultivators who were still confused, the two demons ignored them and headed straight for the gap in the "protective mountain formation" that had already been broken in the high sky.

Seeing this, the other demonic cultivators who were still in the valley also hurriedly followed the two and fled outward.

"Master, save me!"

But just as the demons were leaving quickly, a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator flew out from the bottom of the valley. This person had already lost his physical body and only his Nascent Soul had escaped. His small face was full of panic, as if something powerful was chasing him from behind.

A streak of golden light immediately appeared behind him, and then a golden sword Qi, five or six zhang wide, rolled the Nascent Soul of this demon into a streak of golden light.

"Ah!..."

Only a scream was heard, and this Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, who was majestic outside, was instantly shredded by the golden sword Qi, and even his primordial spirit could not escape from the sharp sword Qi.

"Since you have all come to my Grand Void Gate with such difficulty, why be in such a hurry to leave!"

After beheading that Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, the golden sword Qi did not diminish in momentum, chasing after Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" in mid-air again. Then, a huge human figure full of golden light stood up from the valley.

This golden figure, hundreds of zhang tall, was like a high mountain. It was the Dharma golden body of Song Qingming’s master, "Daoist Lingxu."

Seeing that the sword light behind was coming too fast, Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" could only frown and turn around, joining forces to wave the magic treasures in their hands to block the aftermath of the golden sword light.

When they entered the valley just now, they thought "Daoist Lingxu" had already opened the sealing formation and would be restrained by the upper-realm True Demon, having no time to block them.

They didn't expect that Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" had just gone down, and before they even saw the True Demon seal, they almost fell into an ambush of a great formation.

Fortunately, the "Bone-White Old Demon" had a powerful demonic treasure on him that sensed the danger in advance, reminding the demons to stop their steps one step ahead.

Before they could figure out the situation, they ran into "Daoist Lingxu," who was chasing from below. The two sides immediately had a great battle in the valley.

As a result, even with the joint efforts of the two demons and the dozen or so demonic cultivators under their command, they were still no match for "Daoist Lingxu" alone.

In just a short time, all the demonic cultivators they brought died under "Daoist Lingxu’s" sword, and only Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" escaped desperately.

At this moment, looking at the golden body Dharma of "Daoist Lingxu" below, Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" still had a hint of dread in their eyes.

Fortunately, at this time, they were already close to the exit of the formation. As long as they safely escaped the formation, even if they couldn't defeat the other party, they would have a great chance of escaping.

"Lingxuzi, being calculated by you today is our miscalculation. We will definitely settle this another day!"

"Daoist Lingxu is so hospitable, but you demonic rats don't give any face at all. How about adding me?"

Just as Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" were about to escape the formation, a white light suddenly appeared out of thin air not far from the "protective mountain formation," and then a black-clad man with thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes stepped out of the white light.

This sudden scene also made Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" hurriedly stop their steps, revealing a look of unbelievable shock.

"Chen Qingxuan! How could you be here."

This black-clad man who made the many demonic cultivators present feel shocked was the recognized number one expert of the human race in the "Donghuang State" cultivation world, the Supreme Elder of the "Tianyu Sect" — Chen Qingxuan.

Seeing the appearance of this number one expert of the righteous sect in the "Donghuang Immortal Continent," Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon’s" faces were full of ugliness.

Before they could think about how to escape, the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu," who was still entangled with many white bones in the mist in the high sky, also got rid of the entanglement of the bone flag magic treasure and arrived beside Chen Qingxuan.

"You have been hiding nearby for many years, coveting the True Demon seal on the island. I had already sensed all of this, which is why I specially invited Daoist Chen to come and deal with you together.

Today’s demon-suppression formation is not to deal with the True Demon outside the realm, but prepared for you."

"Haha! Lingxuzi, you are truly good at calculating. In the end, it was our impatience that made us easily fall into your trap.

But today, if you want to keep us all here, this appetite is a bit too big.

Who will win and who will lose, I fear it is still unknown!"

With powerful enemies blocking the front and pursuers not letting go behind.

Seeing that everyone was already trapped like a turtle in a jar, facing this desperate situation that was difficult to escape, Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

"I didn't want to fight you to the death, but now that it has reached this point, we can only see the truth in our hands!"

After Yang Baixuan’s voice fell, the huge black sword in his hand flew into mid-air and rotated rapidly. In just a moment, the huge black sword became several times larger again.

Then, several terrifying demonic Qi emerged from the giant sword, and in just the blink of an eye, it quickly rolled all the seven or eight demonic cultivator disciples following Yang Baixuan into it.

The others with higher cultivation, seeing this, hurriedly stayed away from the giant black sword and hid to the side, kowtowing to Yang Baixuan, who was casting the spell: "Master! We are so loyal to you, please spare us!"

"Since you want to be loyal to me, then today this old ancestor happens to need you. Better obediently come to my side!"

After Yang Baixuan finished speaking, a thick black Qi emerged from his hand again, winding around the giant black sword, and then more than a dozen black lights shot out from the black Qi above.

Those Golden Core and Nascent Soul demonic cultivators who wanted to escape, seeing the black light coming, wanted to dodge, but found that no matter how they dodged, they could not escape the tracking of the black light.

Before long, all of them were rolled into that "giant black sword," making the momentum on it instantly grow several times larger.

On this side, the "Bone-White Old Demon" also took back the bone flag he had placed in mid-air and summoned a giant bone dragon whose aura and pressure were no less than the Soul Transformation stage.

"This battle is not something you can participate in. You all retreat first and guard the formation!"

Seeing that Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" had become ruthless and were preparing to fight to the death, "Daoist Lingxu" immediately transmitted his voice to Song Qingming and the others, leaving them in the valley.

Everyone also understood that this level of Soul Transformation battle was not something they could participate in and could only control the "Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Formation" to block the valley entrance above their heads.

At this time, above the valley, wind and clouds changed, and several Soul Transformation cultivators also began to unfold a life-and-death duel.

Among the few, "Daoist Lingxu" and Chen Qingxuan were both mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators, while Yang Baixuan and the "Bone-White Old Demon" only had early-stage Soul Transformation cultivation, and their strength was much weaker than the righteous side.

But both sides were Soul Transformation cultivators, and wanting to kill the other party could not be decided in one move.

Although Yang Baixuan’s cultivation was not as good as "Daoist Lingxu’s," after swallowing and refining all his disciples just now, his strength soared, and for a time, his battle with "Daoist Lingxu" did not fall behind much.

It was just that the opportunistic method Yang Baixuan used, and the "Bone-White Old Demon" had been injured by "Daoist Lingxu’s" main body before, so his strength seemed to have been affected. Cooperating with the bone dragon he summoned to fight Chen Qingxuan, he was still quickly suppressed by the other party.

The other external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" was guarding the only exit where the "protective mountain formation" was broken, ready to intercept the demonic cultivators who wanted to escape.

"Oh! Where is Junior Sister Yun?"

Not long after the battle above began, Song Qingming and the others setting up the formation heard a doubt from First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong and realized that among the thirty-six people who were supposed to be responsible for setting up the formation, one person was missing.

"First Senior Brother, I just saw Junior Sister Yun beside me. I don't know why she suddenly disappeared. Could it be that there are still demonic cultivators hiding nearby?"

"Guarding the formation is important. Now Master and Senior Chen are dealing with the Bone-White Old Demon. At this time, we must guard the valley and must not easily let a demonic cultivator in.

Xingyun, you take people down to see, pay attention to check the sealing formation side, and if there is anything, send a message up quickly."

Although it was only one person missing, the power of the formation would not be reduced much, but after all, it was a fellow junior sister who suddenly disappeared, so the "Grand Void Gate" crowd present certainly couldn't ignore it.

First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong, while appeasing the crowd setting up the formation, ordered Zheng Xingyun and the others beside him to go to the bottom of the valley to find the missing Junior Sister Yun.

Then he cast a spell to summon an ape spiritual beast on his body and directed it to search around. — Right below the valley, a yellow-clad woman was standing in front of a stone platform full of green vines, looking at a bronze giant tripod in the middle of the stone platform with a smile.

"You are right, Lingxuzi is indeed not so easy to deal with. Fortunately, I didn't feel at ease and came personally, otherwise, relying on those two people, today would inevitably have fallen short of success."

The yellow-clad woman, alone, talked to herself in front of the stone platform, and a somewhat dull voice soon entered her ears.

"Haha! If they hadn't lured Lingxuzi away, how could you have walked here? Lingxuzi miscalculated a move this time; he probably doesn't know of your existence yet.

To tell the truth, so many years have passed; if you didn't come again, I would have thought you had long since turned to ashes."

"Humph! Rest assured, I don't want to stay in this lower realm for a lifetime. Stop talking nonsense, get ready, I want to open the seal quickly, otherwise, if they find something wrong and chase over later, it will be troublesome!"

"Don't be in a hurry to take action. There is still a secret method restriction on this Heavenly Tripod Dragon-Locking Formation. Find a way to cover it up first, otherwise, once you touch the formation, Lingxuzi will inevitably discover the movement here."

"Rest assured, as long as I can get out, finding a space node to take you back to the Holy Realm together is just a matter of lifting a hand. When I recover my strength, I will come back to blood sacrifice the entire Donghuang Immortal Continent to resolve the hatred of being suppressed here for many years."

When the voice said this, it had a few more gnashing teeth, and the hatred between the words had filled the surroundings of the entire stone platform.

The yellow-clad woman heard the other party’s words, but she didn't care at all and replied directly: "I just need you to help me return to the Holy Realm. As for what you want to do later, that is your business, and you don't need to tell me."

After the yellow-clad woman finished speaking, a black short blade appeared in her hand, and then she began to cast spells to gather spiritual energy on her body.

Before long, the black short blade turned into a piece of black cloud mist, covering the entire stone platform, and this place also became pitch-black.

After doing all this, the yellow-clad woman scanned the four copper ears on the bronze giant tripod in the middle of the stone platform, then waved one hand, and a giant black blade emerged from the black cloud mist above, then slashed directly at one of the bronze giant ears with great force.

After a loud "bang," that bronze giant ear fell off the bronze tripod under this blow.

Seeing this, a look of satisfaction appeared on the yellow-clad woman’s face.

Just as the yellow-clad woman gathered spiritual energy again and began to repeat the old trick, slashing off the second bronze giant ear, a voice suddenly interrupted her who was about to cast the spell.

"Wait a minute, someone has already come down from above."

"Hmm! No hurry, this seal still needs some time to open. I will deal with them first."

Hearing the reminder from the other party, the yellow-clad woman nodded slightly, then directly put away the spiritual power in her hand and turned to walk out of the black mist.

After receiving the instruction from First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong, Song Qingming and the other three Golden Core fellow disciples quickly arrived at the depths of the valley with Fourth Senior Brother Zheng Xingyun.

Just after arriving on the ground, Zheng Xingyun cast a spell to release a protective shield in front of him and reminded the few people beside him:

"The place in front is where the True Demon is sealed. You all pay attention, don't be disturbed by the Demon God outside the realm, and be careful that there are still missing demonic cultivators nearby!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the reminder!"

Song Qingming and the others heard this, immediately took out their magic treasures to protect themselves, and then followed Zheng Xingyun to fly slowly toward the sealing place in front, searching for the Yun-surnamed fellow disciple along the way.

Song Qingming and the others had not personally experienced the great battle that had just taken place in the valley below.

But through the traces left along the way and the several high-level demonic cultivator corpses scattered below, everyone still felt the ferocity of that battle and couldn't help but be a little more careful.

This time, according to his master "Daoist Lingxu," everyone gathered in the valley, originally to reinforce the "True Demon from outside the realm" seal in the valley.

But after the demonic cultivator army suddenly attacked, "Daoist Lingxu" and Chen Qingxuan suddenly appeared, and the space above the valley turned into a battlefield for the righteous and demonic sides in the blink of an eye.

This sudden change also made Song Qingming and other uninformed people feel tense and tight for a while.

And through the performance of First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong and others today, Song Qingming could also see that almost all the "Grand Void Gate" disciples, including him, were unaware of the demonic cultivator attack.

Only now did Song Qingming slowly feel that everything that happened before seemed to be intentional by his master "Daoist Lingxu," just to attract those demonic cultivators who coveted the seal here and then wipe them out on the island in one fell swoop.

Just as Song Qingming was thinking, a "Grand Void Gate" outer sect disciple with mid-stage Golden Core cultivation flying at the very front suddenly seemed to see something and shouted.

"Fourth Senior Brother, look, there is someone in front, it seems to be Junior Sister Yun!"

Hearing what the other party said, everyone looked forward and found a yellow-clad woman walking slowly toward a stone platform in front with a dull gaze.

"Not good, she should be controlled by the Demon God’s primordial spirit from outside the realm. Hurry over to stop her, don't let her touch the sealing formation."

Seeing the Yun-surnamed woman in this situation, Zheng Xingyun immediately saw that the other party seemed to be confused by the Demon God’s primordial spirit, and hurriedly led the crowd to fly quickly toward her location.

Just as the crowd was about to approach the Yun-surnamed woman, the other party suddenly turned around, and then showed a smile to Zheng Xingyun and the others.

"Senior Brothers, why did you come here?"

"Oh! Junior Sister Yun, you are fine, you really scared us, we thought you were just confused by the Demon God’s primordial spirit."

"Oh! I’m fine, I accidentally entered this place, was curious, so I walked over to take a look."

Seeing that the Yun-surnamed woman seemed very clear-headed, Zheng Xingyun and the others immediately felt relieved, and then stood in place to chat with the other party, with a relaxed look on their faces.

After chatting for a few sentences, the Yun-surnamed woman saw Song Qingming standing in the distance still looking around and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Song, why are you standing there? There is no danger nearby, come over quickly!"

"Oh! Nothing, I will... soon."

Just as Song Qingming lifted his foot and walked two steps forward, he suddenly stopped his steps and began to look around.

"Senior Brother Song, come over quickly!"

"Junior Brother Song, come over quickly, we still have to go to the sealing place together to check the situation!"

"That’s right, Junior Brother Song, don't delay time, it won't be good if Master blames us later."

"..."

Hearing Zheng Xingyun and the others in front calling out non-stop, Song Qingming couldn't help but take a few more steps forward, and then he didn't go forward anymore.

Just as everyone was confused, a burst of azure spiritual light suddenly erupted from Song Qingming, and then his whole person seemed to wake up suddenly, and he retreated quickly with a leap, directly staying away from Zheng Xingyun and the others not far away.

"Senior Brother Song, what are you doing?"

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly make such a strange move, the Yun-surnamed woman suddenly walked toward him with a smile.

While moving her steps, she asked Song Qingming loudly. The voice was like waves entering the ears, echoing constantly in Song Qingming’s ears, making him stop his retreating steps involuntarily.

At this moment, the azure light on Song Qingming’s body flourished, and then a green dragon flew out from his body, coiled above his head, and a dragon roar defeated the Yun-surnamed woman’s voice from Song Qingming’s ears quickly.

"This... actually has such a spiritual object to protect the body, the Grand Void Gate is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it really underestimated you!"

Seeing the green dragon circling above Song Qingming’s head, the Yun-surnamed woman’s face changed, and she showed a look of ugliness.

And at this time, Song Qingming, not far from her, already had bean-sized sweat on his forehead, and his eyes looking at the Yun-surnamed woman were also full of unbelievable shock.

"You are not Junior Sister Yun?"

Although the Yun-surnamed woman in front of Song Qingming was no different in appearance from the person he had seen before, and he could not see that the other party had used any illusion technique, Song Qingming still confirmed firmly.

The person in front of him was definitely not a "Grand Void Gate" disciple.

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he quickly cast a spell and released his natal magic treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," and then shot a dazzling white light from it, covering the Yun-surnamed woman.

Being directly irradiated by the scorching Profound Yang Qi in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," the Yun-surnamed woman still had a flat expression, seemingly unaffected by it, which also made Song Qingming show a few more surprises.

You know, the "Profound Yang Qi" in his natal magic treasure was the most restraining to demonic cultivation techniques. Even if the other party was a demonic cultivator with Nascent Soul cultivation, it was impossible to have no reaction at all.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at her so cautiously and solemnly, the Yun-surnamed woman also sighed slightly.

"I didn't want to make things difficult for you, but I didn't expect you, a small Golden Core cultivator, to be able to avoid my secret method. It really surprised me.

Since that’s the case, I can only deal with you first."

After the Yun-surnamed woman finished speaking, her left hand lifted lightly, and the scene around her also changed, letting Song Qingming see the real scene in front of him.

The stone platform that was originally empty behind had disappeared, shrouded in a mass of incomparably pitch-black cloud mist.

And Zheng Xingyun and the others who had walked over one step ahead of Song Qingming were standing in place talking to themselves, wrapped in a mass of looming black water mist.

At this time, the Yun-surnamed woman’s other right hand was still placed on that mass of black water mist, seemingly carefully maintaining the secret method beside her.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also understood that Zheng Xingyun and the others were anxious to stop the Yun-surnamed woman and were controlled by the other party due to carelessness.

Fortunately, he had a special object on him, which woke him up in time at a critical moment, which allowed Song Qingming, who was walking at the end, to escape a disaster and not be caught in one net by the other party.

However, having said that, the Yun-surnamed woman’s magical powers were truly unpredictable, and Song Qingming couldn't even see the other party’s cultivation.

Facing the other party at this moment, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him next. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 829 =====
