Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 156 Soft at the Entrance, A Single Line to the Throat! (Long Chapter)

Where did that gray light come from?! Where's the barrier-breaking talisman?!
This was the question that simultaneously arose in the minds of hundreds of people present.

A flash of gray light passed by, leaving a fiery red trail in the void, which was quite beautiful.

As the light receded, hundreds of feet away from Mo Yunzi, the gray light transformed into a human figure enveloped in multiple layers of light.

All the cultivators on both sides were in an uproar.

"Where did this person come from?"

Qian Rushan suddenly realized that this must be the person who helped him kill Wu Yiqian not long ago, and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, come in quickly! I will activate the restriction for you!"

Once the formation is fully activated for defense, it is in a state where one can leave but not enter. If the person outside wants to return, they must obtain permission from the person in charge of the formation.

"It's alright." The gray-haired man waved his hand. "I'll play with these demon cubs first!"

His tone was lazy and relaxed, as if he were out enjoying a spring outing.

Everyone gasped upon hearing this. Was he planning to take on the entire audience single-handedly?
Mo Yunzi was furious!

Once a talisman is cast, it is irreversible. If it is taken away midway, it will instantly revert to its original state.

But when the barrier-breaking talisman disappeared, it was completely silent.

There wasn't even a trace of magical energy fluctuation.

what 's wrong?
Is that reasonable?

The person in that gray light was none other than Chen Qian, who was empowered by the Earth Undying Armor.

He noticed that the array's patterns were starting to become disordered, so he kept an eye on Mo Yunzi, wanting to see if the array would break after he activated the talismans and was hit.

When that moment truly arrived, Chen Qianfu felt a sudden inspiration, realizing that he was fully capable of intercepting the talisman and sending it into the Wheel of Fate.

Because his spiritual senses overlapped with Xiao Yin's, they far surpassed Mo Yunzi's. Qian Rushan and Zhao Xinhai couldn't react, but he could.

Under normal circumstances, even a Core Formation cultivator can only detonate the talisman in advance to prevent it from affecting the grand formation.

But with the presence of the Fate Wheel Realm, everything became very strange. It could interrupt the operation of the talisman and instantly erase Mo Yunzi's magic power and divine consciousness.

This is also due to the special nature of the barrier-breaking talisman; it must come into contact with the target to unleash its power.

For ordinary offensive talismans, the talisman's operation is completed and transformed into offensive energy the moment the caster releases it.

Even the Wheel of Fate cannot reverse it.

Because that belongs to the great power of the rules of time.

"Heh heh~ You dark-faced old devil, come and chase me!"

Chen Qian was overjoyed; he had been worried about what would happen after the formation was broken.

Now that everything is easily resolved and I have no more worries, I really want to let loose and have some fun.

If that old demonic cultivator dares to come and fight me one-on-one, I'll show you how I can kill you!
He sensed that Shen Qianxue was about to arrive. Not to mention that he was not afraid of Mo Yunzi in a one-on-one fight, he could easily deal with him even in a group fight.

Mo Yunzi couldn't see through Chen Qian's disguise. Although everything about him was strange, he didn't know how Chen Qian had managed to take away the barrier-breaking talisman.

But spiritual pressure doesn't lie; this is clearly just a Qi Refining ant!

"You little thief, you're asking for death!"

Provoked by a mere Qi Refining ant, he was filled with rage. With a roar, he raised his hand, and a streak of black light shot towards Chen Qian.

Chen Qian chuckled softly, easily dodging the attack, and said with a carefree laugh, "That's it? Soft and weak."

After saying that, he flew off in the northeast direction, which was the direction Shen Qianxue was coming to help.

Mo Yunzi was publicly ridiculed and couldn't save face. Even if he knew there was a trap, he couldn't ignore it.

With a swirling black aura, it chased after Chen Qian.

Once Chen Qian unleashed his Blazing Sky Step, his figure transformed into a streak of fire, moving with incredible speed, no less than Mo Yunzi's.

It's just that due to the limitations of his magical powers, he couldn't maintain his escape for long.

However, its short-range agility and explosiveness are superior to Mo Yunzi's.

And so, the two of them, one after the other, quickly disappeared from the sight of the opposing sides.

Both sides were somewhat bewildered.

Without Mo Yunzi, their primary combatant, and without the barrier-breaking talisman, the demonic cultivators were naturally even less able to break through Qingye Mountain's great formation.

The defenders of Aoba Mountain, of course, would not abandon their positions.

"Let's step back for now and make arrangements when Fellow Daoist Mo returns!" As the person with the highest cultivation level on the attacking side, Lu Zhengting took over the command without hesitation.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Yin knew that further forceful attacks would be futile, so he agreed.

They retreated to their original resting place, where they recovered their magical power while waiting for Mo Yunzi to return.

But... will we really be able to wait that long?

........................

In a battle at the Qi Refining level, Chen Qian's magical power would be virtually inexhaustible.

Because he can directly replenish his spiritual power through the Wheel of Fate, and can convert spiritual power into magical power extremely quickly.

However, compressing mana into a liquid state is not so easy.

He is still not comparable to a true Foundation Establishment cultivator. A Foundation Establishment cultivator has already established their Dao foundation, and their spiritual power enters their body and is refined through the Dao foundation, directly turning into liquid.

The same spell, whether driven by Qi Refining Mana or Foundation Establishment Liquid Mana, will have a power difference of more than ten times, assuming the total amount of mana is the same.

This is only the difference in magical power; there are also huge gaps in physical strength, spiritual awareness, and spiritual artifacts.

Therefore, no matter how many Qi Refining Peak cultivators there are, they cannot match a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator. The difference between the two is qualitative and cannot be bridged by quantity.

Of course, if there are enough of them, it's still possible to hold off one or two for a short period of time.

The same applies to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, and Core Formation and Nascent Soul.

This is common knowledge in the cultivation world, but Chen Qian is an exception.

He clearly hasn't even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, yet he possesses a physique far superior to that of a Core Formation cultivator, a divine sense surpassing that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and magical power comparable to that of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, his divine sense borrowed Xiao Yin's power, but Xiao Yin was originally his ghost slave, just like the spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect cultivators.

It's perfectly reasonable to say that it's part of his strength.

The "Flaming Sky-Sweeping Step" is a movement technique that does not allow for flight. However, Chen Qian can traverse a hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters) with a light touch of his toes, making his short-distance sprint almost as fast as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.

If it weren't for the need to keep Mo Yunzi hanging, he could have easily gotten rid of the old guy in no time.

So, although Chen Qian appeared to be fleeing at top speed, he was actually calm and composed, not even using 70% of his speed.

Mo Yunzi continuously activated several acceleration techniques and desperately propelled his bone boat, but Chen Qian was like an eel on the ground, narrowly dodging his spell attacks every time he closed the distance.

The two fought and fled in this way, and hundreds of miles passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Chen Qian flew to the top of a barren mountain and sensed that Shen Qianxue was less than a hundred miles away. He didn't want to go any further.

"Black-faced old devil, you've been chasing me for so long, aren't you tired? Why don't you stop and take a break!"

Chen Qian suddenly stopped, turned around gracefully, and spoke to Mo Yunzi, who was shooting towards him from several miles away.

His body was surrounded by a gray light, and the aura of the Earth Undying Armor was faintly visible. He no longer had any intention of fleeing, but instead carried a hint of mockery.

Mo Yunzi's internal alarm bells rang loudly!
There was no sense of danger in this desolate mountain, but the composure of this Qi Refining youth was quite strange.

He stared at Chen Qian with a sinister look: "You little thief, you're just playing tricks! If you hand over the barrier-breaking talisman, I'll give you a quick death!"

His words were harsh, but his actions were cautious. He did not rush over immediately, but hovered a hundred feet away, silently moving around the Soul Devouring Palace to investigate the secret technique.

This kid led him here, and then strangely stopped abruptly. He would never believe there was nothing amiss.

Could it be some kind of illusion array? Or are there people lying in ambush?
It's impossible to have nothing at all!
However, no matter what investigative techniques he uses, or even if he maximizes his late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual sense, he will inevitably gain nothing.

Because this was a place Chen Qian had chosen at random; it was just an ordinary, barren mountain.

"Want it?" Chen Qian grinned, spreading his five fingers, revealing the barrier-breaking talisman activated by Mo Yunzi in his palm.

"Come and take it yourself if you dare!"

Having failed to find anything and been mocked, a fierce glint flashed in Mo Yunzi's eyes: "You're courting death!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Hundred Ghosts Soul-Devouring Banner, radiating an evil aura, reappeared before him.

The banner moved without wind, and countless distorted and tormented phantoms of souls struggled and howled on it, and a chilling aura began to permeate the air.

Since we can't discern the opponent's true strength, we should take the initiative to attack. No matter what it is, it will reveal its tracks in the face of absolute power.

The Soul-Devouring Banner trembled violently!
In an instant, ghosts wailed and howled! Three condensed, almost tangible ghost general phantoms, leading hundreds of wandering ghosts, roared and charged out from the banner!

They come in various shapes and sizes; some wield bone blades, some spew poisonous flames, and some are bound in chains and wield shields.

With a piercing shriek, like an army charging into battle, it rushed straight at Chen Qian!
At the same time, Mo Yunzi made hand seals, and a black bone spur flowing with filthy blood light condensed and took shape in front of him, ready to be unleashed!
This is his natal demonic weapon—the Blood Soul Thorn! It can destroy the physical body and corrode the soul.

"Well done!" Chen Qian was not surprised but delighted.

He had been waiting for this moment when Mo Yunzi would go all out!
When the ghost general led the wandering souls to surround Chen Qian about twenty feet in front of him, he smiled and opened his arms, as if welcoming his lover's return.

This left Mo Yunzi completely bewildered. Was he scared out of his wits by the powerful attack?
Then he witnessed an incredible scene.

Before Chen Qian, the phantom of a pure and noble young girl, radiating spiritual light, appeared from the void.

Mo Yunzi was stunned. This was a ghost general!
He must have been promoted recently, but his soul power was as vast as the ocean, giving him a sense of invincibility.

The young girl gently waved her hand, as if caressing her lover's face.

A phantom image of a giant tree appeared in the void, its branches and leaves covering the sky for dozens of feet in front of it.

The three ghost generals and hundreds of wandering souls that were rushing towards them seemed to be wrapped in layers of the giant tree's phantom image and frozen in mid-air.

Then it twists, rolls, and blurs continuously.

In the end, it was all absorbed by the tree's branches and leaves, and even the last trace of yin energy vanished without a trace.

"No!" Mo Yunzi exclaimed in surprise!
All of this is a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye, and Mo Yunzi didn't even have time to react.

The Hundred Ghosts Soul-Devouring Banner, which he had spent a great deal of effort and resources to create, was ruined, leaving only an empty banner shell.

Mo Yunzi's face twisted as he frantically poured his magic power into his natal demonic weapon, the Blood Soul Thorn. The Blood Soul Thorn was activated to its limit, and the dense black energy solidified into a tangible form.

"I want you dead!" Mo Yunzi roared, pointing his finger forward, and the Blood Soul Thorn shot towards the girl like a black lightning bolt!
The girl smiled sweetly, made a hand seal, and a crystal shield burning with blue ice flames appeared, wisps of cold air spreading out.

Mysterious Yin Soul Shield!

Dark Nether Fire!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Chen Qian's pupils contracted slightly. The attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's natal magic weapon was indeed extraordinary!
Although it couldn't destroy the Xuan Yin Soul Shield immediately, it clearly had the upper hand.

He dared not be negligent. His body shone with gray light, and he activated the Earth Indestructible Armor at full power. At the same time, he also cast the Sunflower Water Heavenly Flower Spell.

With a twist of his waist, he activated the Sky-Soaring Step, his hands enveloped in rich red and gray light, and attacked Mo Yunzi's side!

At the same time, Xiao Yin produced the Bewitching Dust Banner, a second-tier mid-grade soul weapon that she had initially refined, which could amplify her soul power attack by about 20%.

Xuanyin thorn!
Soul attacks are invisible and intangible, and extremely fast; only divine sense and soul treasures can defend against them.

The attack arrived first despite being delayed; Chen Qian had only reached halfway when the Xuan Yin Thorn had already succeeded!

Xiao Yin's spiritual sense was already slightly stronger than Mo Yunzi's, and now it has increased by 20%. The Xuan Yin Thorn directly broke through Mo Yunzi's spiritual sense protection and pierced his soul.

"Ouch!" Mo Yunzi's face was contorted, drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he was in excruciating pain.

The pain to the soul is a hundred times greater than that to the body; only those who have suffered it truly know.

This left Mo Yunzi in a daze, losing most of his resistance.

Chen Qian had already moved to his side, his red and gray fists, imbued with nearly ten thousand pounds of force, accompanied by the corrosive aura and the thrusting of the protective energy, slammed hard into his waist and abdomen.

"clang--!"

Just as Mo Yunzi's protective aura was about to be torn apart, a bronze bell-shaped ornament hanging at his waist flashed with spiritual light, and a bell-shaped shield enveloped his body.

Chen Qian's fists struck the bell-shaped light shield, producing a crisp, loud sound, but they couldn't break through the shield. They only sent Mo Yunzi flying, crashing into the rocks and embedding himself into the mountain.

When the protective bronze bell activated automatically, Mo Yunzi had already reacted and was filled with fear.

He would have been dead if it weren't for this protective bronze bell.

At this moment, his soul was injured, his strongest demonic weapon was destroyed, and he had no will to fight. He knew that if he did not escape, he would surely die here.

Buried among the rocks, he didn't even bother to crawl out; instead, he burned his essence blood and used Soul Shadow Escape.

This escape technique is a secret method of the Soul Devouring Hall. It is faster than the common demonic escape technique, Blood Shadow Escape, and has stronger aftereffects. After using it, not only will one's essence and blood be severely depleted, but one's soul will also be partially damaged.

But it can instantly possess a speed that surpasses a whole level, allowing it to instantly travel hundreds of miles away!

After escaping, he will definitely need to hide and heal his wounds. As for Junior Brother Yin and the Lu, Zhou, and Wu families, they can only pray for their own good fortune.

As Chen Qian was on high alert, considering whether to storm into the mountain to kill him or wait for Mo Yunzi to emerge, a powerful aura surged forth from within the mountain.

Unaware of the situation, Chen Qian had no choice but to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation and quickly retreated.

Xiao Yin's spiritual sense was far superior to Chen Qian's, and she had already seen through Hei Yunzi's condition.

"Young master, this demon is trying to escape!"

"Huh?!" Chen Qian didn't expect Mo Yunzi to be so decisive, running away as soon as the situation turned bad.

"Young master, this demon is too fast! I can't lock onto him!"

Xiao Yin wanted to use the Profound Yin Strike on Mo Yunzi again, but she didn't expect that his speed was comparable to that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. She couldn't catch a glimpse of Mo Yunzi at all.

"Sigh! The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Demonic Sect do indeed have many trump cards, and they are not so easy to kill," Chen Qian said helplessly.

"Don't let me run into you again next time. I'll mark you with the Chaos Mark immediately and see how many times you can escape!"

In the blink of an eye, Mo Yunzi had already passed through the rocks and fled several miles away!

This speed far exceeded Chen Qian's expectations.

Just as Chen Qian could only watch Mo Yunzi's departing figure...

"Om-!"

A sword's cry suddenly rang out from the sky!
A terrifying sword intent, chilling to the bone and seemingly capable of freezing the soul, descended without warning!

The sinister smile on Mo Yunzi's face froze instantly as he looked up sharply!

Above the sky, a pure, icy blue sword light tore through the clouds, like a spear of judgment falling from the heavens!

Before the sword light even arrived, the chilling killing intent had already locked onto him, causing his magic power, blood and energy, and mental processes to become sluggish!
"Sword... Sword Heart Clear?!" Mo Yunzi was terrified!

In the state of Soul Shadow Escape, those below the mid-stage of Core Formation simply cannot lock onto him.

Aside from... peerless sword cultivators who possess a clear sword mind and have comprehended a certain sword intent!

Because the sword intent lock does not rely on magic power, soul, speed, or direction, but only on the sword cultivator's pure and firm will, it locks onto the enemy's aura!

At the critical moment of life and death, Mo Yunzi unleashed the full power of a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator!

He took out several defensive talismans and instantly activated them.

He bit his tongue again, spitting out a mouthful of his heart's blood essence to enhance the escape light. His body shone with a great black light, trying to take him away from the range locked by the sword intent!

However, it's too late!

That icy blue sword light ignored spatial distance and was faster than thought!

The owner of this sword intent was naturally Shen Qianxue, who had come from afar to provide assistance.

Mo Yunzi was unlucky; of all the directions he could have chosen, he had to flee northeast.

They happened to run into Shen Qianxue, who was coming to their aid.

It's true that Shen Qianxue possesses the Sword Heart Clarity Body, but even though she can become one with the sword, she still can't lock onto Mo Yunzi, who is so fast.

However, she was in Zifeng City when she was shocked by Chen Qian's use of the Yin-Yang Domain to break the Nine Nether Array, and her sword body origin was activated by the Chaos Spirit Body. By chance, she comprehended a trace of Yin-Yang Chaos Sword Intent.

Although she only grasped the basics, the Yin-Yang Chaos Sword Intent was of extremely high rank, which not only greatly improved her swordsmanship but also allowed her to master "One Line Sky," one of the nine secret sword techniques of the Hidden Edge Pavilion!
This is a secret technique that purely pursues speed, giving her the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels!
"Hidden Edge - A Narrow Gap!"

The voice was cold and devoid of any emotion, like the pronouncement of death!

"laugh--!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a subtle yet incredibly clear cutting sound.

The icy blue sword light easily pierced through layers of protective talismans, and with a little effort, it tore through the protective layer formed by the Soul Shadow Escape. The last layer of Mo Yunzi's protective spiritual light was like waste paper, unable to even slow down the sword light by the slightest bit!

Like a hot knife slicing through butter!

The sword light pierced Mo Yunzi's slightly open mouth with perfect precision, as if a gentle breeze were blowing...

It pierced his throat, esophagus, chest, and lower abdomen...

In a flash!

Smooth on the palate, and goes straight down the throat!
