I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

The battle reached a fever pitch in an instant.

The sect leader's black palm print clashed fiercely with the demon's Yin energy. Each exchange caused dramatic changes in the celestial phenomena, tearing the clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles to shreds and blasting deep craters into the ground with the dissipated spiritual energy.

The elder's cyan sword light was as sharp as lightning, constantly launching sneak attacks from the side, forcing the demon to defend himself on all sides.

The Second Elder's crimson palm prints were as violent as fire, each strike carrying a soul-scorching heat that evaporated the demon's surrounding Yin energy with a hissing sound. The Heavenly Demon Sect Master and his two elders were not to be outdone, unleashing black blade light, a giant demonic hand, and soul-devouring techniques in turn, bombarding the demon in turn.

With six Nascent Soul cultivators besieging a heavily injured Deity Transformation cultivator, it seemed like the advantage was on our side.

But Li Hanshan stood at a distance, his brows furrowing more and more deeply.

Although the demon was severely injured and his cultivation level dropped to around the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his combat experience was far too rich. A Nascent Soul cultivator is a Nascent Soul cultivator; even with insufficient spiritual power, their understanding of the laws and their grasp of timing are far superior to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He could always dodge the sect leader's palm strikes with minimal cost, he could always anticipate the First Elder's sword light, and he could withstand several palm strikes from the Second Elder without showing any signs of weakness.

What alarmed Li Hanshan even more was that the demon seemed completely unafraid of being drained.

Although his spiritual power was not as strong as it was at its peak, his recovery speed was astonishing. The Yin energy that was consumed by each attack was quickly replenished by the black energy surging from the Soul Banner Formation below.

"Is this the Nascent Soul stage? So powerful."

Li Hanshan was deeply shocked by what he saw.

A Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed incredibly powerful.

Even severely injured, his fighting power remains terrifying.

He fought six Nascent Soul cultivators single-handedly and was not at a disadvantage.

No wonder the sect leader and the others were so anxious. If the other side recovers, wouldn't the Northern Wilderness be finished?

Fortunately.

The sect leader and the others were also quite strong, especially the sect leader, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and every attack he made was exceptionally terrifying.

If this fight continues, even the Nascent Soul Demon Lord will eventually be unable to hold on.

"This guy is a demon lord of the Yinming Sect, where is his spirit?"

A sense of foreboding rose in Li Hanshan's heart.

The most powerful cultivators of the Yinming Sect are actually the Yin spirits within the Soul Banner.

Some cultivators of the Yinming Sect may actually be less powerful than Yin Souls.

But so far, this demonic being has not yet released his Yin spirit.

Could it be that his spirits were all killed?

Li Hanshan felt that it wasn't that simple.

This guy definitely hasn't used this trump card yet.

Sure enough, after withstanding several rounds of attacks, a cold smile appeared on the demon's lips.

"You think you can kill me with just a few Nascent Soul cultivators?" He formed hand seals and chanted, "Soul Banner Formation, activate!"

Before the words were even finished, the thousands of soul banners below simultaneously erupted with blinding black light. The black light intertwined, forming a huge black vortex, and at the center of the vortex, six terrifying auras were rapidly gathering.

Li Hanshan's expression changed drastically.

Those six auras, each one was at the Nascent Soul level!

"There really are ghosts!"

It's true what they say, what you think about comes true.

"Watch out!" the sect leader shouted sternly.

Six dark figures burst forth from the vortex, lunging towards the six people.

There were six Yin spirits at the Nascent Soul level, and the leader of them had an extremely terrifying aura, clearly at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

It was tall and its soul was so solid that it was almost indistinguishable from a real person. It was surrounded by an extremely dense aura of yin energy, and the ghost fire in its eyes was a strange purplish-black. The pressure it exuded made Li Hanshan feel suffocated even from dozens of miles away.

The other five Yin spirits, though slightly weaker, were all at the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm. Each one bared its fangs and claws, lunging at the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Damn it!" The elder's expression changed, and he had no choice but to abandon his attack on the demon and turn to face the Nascent Soul stage Yin spirit that was rushing towards him.

The cyan sword light collided with the Yin spirit's claws, exploding into a blinding light. The Grand Elder was forced back several steps by the shock, while the Yin spirit only trembled slightly before lunging forward again.

The Second Elder was also entangled by a Yin spirit at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Although her red palm prints had a restraining effect on the ghosts, those ghosts were extremely fast, always dodging before the palm prints landed and launching sneak attacks from the side, forcing the Second Elder to defend himself.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master and his two elders were also entangled by Nascent Soul Yin Spirits. Each of the three of them was fighting one, and although they were not at a disadvantage, they were unable to break free to support the Sect Master.

As for the sect leader, she was facing a Yin spirit at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The ghost's speed was unbelievable; its figure flickered constantly in the void, each appearance carrying a sharp, malevolent aura, aiming straight for the sect leader's vitals.

The sect leader raised her hand and struck out with a palm. The black palm print collided with the Yin spirit's claws, knocking the Yin spirit back several steps. However, the Yin spirit quickly pounced again, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

Even more terrifying, the demon was not idle either. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the yin spirits were entangled with the six people, he formed hand seals and drew more yin energy from the soul banner array. His aura was recovering at a visible speed.

"Hahaha!" the demon roared with laughter. "These wraiths are my most precious collection. Today, I'll use your souls to make up for my losses!"

The sect leader's expression was solemn as he unleashed one black palm print after another, forcing the Nascent Soul peak-stage Yin spirit to retreat step by step.

But that ghost was too troublesome; every time it was repelled, it would quickly recover and pounce again.

It seemed tireless and fearless, merely a killing machine carrying out the demon's orders.

On the Grand Elder's side, the situation was even more critical. Although his cultivation was higher than his opponent's, the Yin spirit at the mid-Nascent Soul stage used strange methods, each attack accompanied by a shrill scream that disturbed his consciousness, causing his spells to frequently malfunction. In a moment of carelessness, the Yin spirit's claws grazed his shoulder, tearing open a gash, and Yin energy seeped into his meridians through the wound, causing him to groan in pain.

The Second Elder was in no better shape, forced to retreat repeatedly by the mid-Nascent Soul stage Yin Spirit, even tearing a corner of her red skirt.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master and his two elders were also locked in a fierce battle. Although they could hold on for the time being, their spiritual energy was being consumed at a great cost. If this continued, their spiritual energy would soon be depleted.

The tide of battle turned in an instant!
