Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 721 Patience is at its peak when doing bad things.

Fear, numbness, resignation, and a deep-seated resentment.

Xu Yunfan was indifferent to this.

Han Shi is a complete traitor; given the slightest opportunity, he will definitely seize it.

Most of his attention was focused on the nesting, connection, and deduction of the final activation plan of the two large formations.
-
Deep within the sea of ​​suffering of reincarnation, above a massive vortex of blood waves eight hundred miles outside the island of white bones.

Xu Yunfan's mind, through the strong control link in the attribute panel, quietly watched the area perfectly covered by the Yinming Cloud Qi.

Han Shi's figure lay dormant within, his aura completely merging with the eternal gray clouds above the underworld, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

Just now, through Han Shi's hands, those two killing formations, which Xu Yunfan had painstakingly developed and refined, and which were finally nested together, were completed.

With the Divine Firmament Purple Mansion Destruction Heavenly Gang Righteous Thunder Method as the general principle, the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Immortal Slaying Thunder Array, a composite array that integrates the Earthly Fiend Abyss Yin Thunder, the Nine Nether Profound Yin Fiend Thunder, and the Yellow Spring Soul-Guiding Thunder, as well as the Myriad Tribulations Yin Fiend Extinction Sword Array, which is dedicated to absorbing the endless turbid evil death energy and killing karma of the Bitter Sea, has finally completed its final connection and deduction.

At this moment, the scene in the center of the Bone Island was clearly reflected in Xu Yunfan's mind.

That thousand-foot-long skeletal dragon, once the ferocious overlord of the Bitter Sea, after a fierce battle with the White-Haired True Monarch, is now coiled under that gnarled and strange tree, in an extremely miserable state.

Huge lacerations covered its massive skeletal body, with many places exposing stark white bone fragments that gleamed with a dim and ominous luster.

Its aura was listless and weak, far from the ferocious power of a Golden Core beast. Even its instinct to maintain its own existence seemed to be on the verge of collapse, giving people a strong feeling of being exhausted and at the end of its rope.

This scene is highly unusual.

How could a Golden Core Realm Bitter Sea Overlord, who was born with the Dao Fruit, be so severely injured in such a short time and have not recovered for so long?

This is most likely a case of using a severely wounded, dying dragon and the Dao Fruit within reach as deadly bait to lure those who covet it.

"Hmph, trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Xu Yunfan sneered inwardly, but his mental focus became even more intense.

Although he has set up a double killing formation, he will never easily set foot in the core area.

The center of a trap is often the most dangerous place.

Having confirmed through Han Shi's investigation that no obvious ambush or the figure of the White-Haired True Monarch was found around the dragon, Xu Yunfan was certain that the other party was not nearby.

Xu Yunfan had a slight thought and gave Han Shi an instruction.

"Activate the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Immortal Slaying Thunder Array, lock onto the dragon, activate the Profound Yin Absorption Fiend, and slowly draw out the Yin Fiend Death Qi from the surrounding hundred-mile area, without causing any other changes."

Be careful to control the intensity; only absorb, do not attack.

Han Shi naturally dared not refuse, and carried out the orders step by step according to the handprints passed on by Xu Yunfan.

Han Shi, who was lying in wait in the dark clouds, silently changed his hand gestures, triggering the array flag hubs that had been set up at specific nodes on the outer perimeter of the White Bone Island.

hum...

An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation emanated from the core array plate of the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Immortal Slaying Thunder Array.

Like invisible tentacles, it quietly probed into the space within a hundred miles of the Bone Island.

The array flags and array plates, set up in the crevices of the Blood Sea reefs and among the enormous skeletons, began to operate silently deep within the gray and desolate clouds. The first to be activated was the Earthly Fiend Abyss Thunder Array Flag, which connected with the Yin and turbid Qi that had accumulated in the depths of the Bitter Sea for hundreds of millions of years.

Like roots embedded in filth, they frantically and secretly draw upon the purest essence of Yin energy.

Then, the array plate hub, inscribed with the Nine Netherworld Ghost Face runes, lit up slightly. An invisible force drew in the omnipresent Nine Netherworld Profound Yin Qi of the Bitter Sea, forming a thin but ever-expanding vacuum region around the dragon.

Those pale, bone-white Yellow Spring Soul-Guiding Yin Thunder Array Banners, capable of arousing the resentment of the dead, would draw away the pure death energy and the faint energy dissipated from the dead souls in the air, thread by thread.

The entire operation was carried out silently and without a sound under the precise control of the Divine Firmament Purple Mansion Annihilation Heavenly Gang Righteous Thunder Technique. It did not cause the slightest energy ripple, nor did it trigger any spatial fluctuations, nor did it touch any possible warning restrictions.

All the yin energy, death energy, and resentment energy were quietly devoured, transformed, and stored by the core of the nested thunder array, leaving not even a trace of wandering spiritual energy behind.

This area, already cold and desolate due to the environment of the Netherworld, became even more empty under the deliberate extraction of energy by the formation.

It was as if the air had been drawn into a vacuum; the dense, impenetrable, and chillingly desolate atmosphere unique to the Bitter Sea visibly thinned out slightly around the dragon.

Although this change is extremely subtle, almost imperceptible unless carefully examined by a Golden Core True Monarch-level divine sense, it is indeed happening.

Xu Yunfan's divine sense could naturally sense it through the feedback from the attribute panel.
However, the energy density in this region is slowly but steadily declining.

He understood that this dragon was not a true Golden Core True Monarch, but merely a companion beast evolved from the Dao Fruit of the Taiyin Dragon. Its foundation and existence depended largely on the endless Yin Sha death energy nourishing it in the Bitter Sea environment.

Xu Yunfan's actions are like cutting off its lifeline, quietly severing its most important source of recovery and strength.

Xu Yunfan handled this level of extraction with extreme precision.

The outer layer of the obscuring array connects cause and effect, creating a certain degree of cognitive obstruction, preventing the dragon from reacting, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.

It will not immediately trigger a strong backlash from the dragon or expose itself, and it can effectively slow down its recovery speed, keeping it in a weak but not immediately collapsing state.

After all, a dying dragon is far less valuable than a living bait that can be continuously consumed.

"The recovery from the injury has been delayed..."

Xu Yunfan's divine sense detected the edges of the huge wounds on the dragon's body. The subtle energy luster that was originally slowly writhing seemed to become even more sluggish and dim.

In those eyes, where the blood-red flames had dimmed, a barely perceptible trace of weariness and... seemed to flicker.

Its massive skeletal body twitched slightly, as if it instinctively sensed the discomfort of the environment, yet could not pinpoint the source.

"Very good, the causal secret technique has been successfully activated."

Xu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief. The Cave-Dwelling Erosion Talisman was truly useful. Its effects at the Perfect level could even harm a Golden Core cultivator if they weren't careful.

Xu Yunfan naturally wouldn't launch a killing formation to capture and kill this dragon at this moment.

The Dao Fruit is right before our eyes, within easy reach, but the greatest threat is not this heavily injured ferocious beast.

The real hidden danger is the white-haired True Lord, who is proficient in the art of life and death and reincarnation, and whose words even the True Lord of Universal Salvation are vague about. He is suspected of being a traitor to the Primordial Sect.

Who knows if the other party is hiding in some spatial interlayer nearby, or lurking deep within the sea of ​​blood and among the bones using some kind of secret technique to reverse life and death, or even attached to the body of the dragon.
