Celestial Refining Divine Scripture
Chapter 506 - 504: If You Have the Guts, Come Here
"Why is there a loss of power?"
Men Long clearly sensed that a portion of the energy inside the Altar Soul Artifact had suddenly disappeared.
This was simply unbelievable!
Because the person she wanted to kill was already completely trapped and utterly incapable of resisting.
"It’s impossible for anything to go wrong."
Men Long took a deep breath and stretched out two flawless, pale jade hands from her sleeve, swiftly forming a Seal Skill.
A faint, weak violet light glimmered between her brows, shining upon the Seal Skill in front of her.
Only a few moments passed.
Men Long pointed a finger at the altar.
Whoosh!
The purple streak of light flashed like lightning and merged into the altar.
In an instant.
Everything inside the altar appeared vividly in her mind.
"It’s you—you actually aren’t afraid of soul fire’s corrosion..."
Men Long cried out in shock, not only surprised that Xu Yang was unaffected by the Illusion Technique, but also that he didn’t fear the soul fire, which was nearly impossible to defend against and attacked straight at the soul.
Seeing Xu Yang sitting cross-legged and devouring the soul fire, she was both shocked and furious, nearly driven mad.
"Bastard!"
"Even if you’re not afraid of the soul fire, the Soul Seal... how is this possible?"
Pride flickered just across Men Long’s delicate face, only to freeze in an instant.
Because she saw a Soul Seal being effortlessly swallowed by Xu Yang.
And he didn’t react at all.
It was as if it were just an everyday meal!
The multitude of Soul Seals covering Li Chen had now diminished by almost a tenth!
Men Long shook all over.
This was the first time she had encountered such an indescribable monster—unheard of!
"She’s spying on us!"
Li Chen suddenly spoke up.
Xu Yang had long noticed, but did not bother to respond.
Now that she’d been discovered, who knew what she might do—naturally, he started absorbing as quickly as possible.
"Can you keep crashing into the Soul Seal? This pace is too slow," Xu Yang said immediately.
Li Chen’s heart trembled; even this speed left him shocked and terrified.
And it still wasn’t fast enough?
But thinking that he’d soon be free, Li Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I can!"
As soon as he’d finished, he formed the Curved Palm Seal, and a thread of weak violet-gold spiritual light appeared between his brows.
"Break!"
Li Chen threw himself into it, letting out a fierce, low shout.
The violet-gold spiritual light spread across his body like mist, thin as cicada wings, yet it burst forth with a ferocious and mysterious might, like a flood of purple aura from the east descending from the heavens, crashing into the Soul Seals enveloping him.
Boom!
The Soul Seals shook, but under his assault, not a single crack appeared—nor did any of them retreat.
But for Xu Yang, this kind of commotion was more than enough.
Bang!
All his devouring power converged, and in a split second, five Soul Seals were ripped away at once.
Li Chen panted weakly, blood spilling from his mouth, yet his eyes were filled with shock—he was astounded beyond words!
"Aaaaahhh!!"
Men Long screamed madly, her rage soaring to the heavens.
"Damn it, what the hell is this bastard?"
"Damn bastard."
"I’m going to slaughter you!"
Men Long’s face became twisted with fury; with a thought, all the Soul Seals enveloping Li Chen instantly exploded upward and streaked like lightning at Xu Yang.
Li Chen stared in disbelief, and the next moment, joy overwhelmed him!
Xu Yang was startled at first, a thought flashed through his mind, but then he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of delight.
"I thought you had some other astonishing trick, but you can only do this much?"
"So what is this? Heavens delivering meat to my door?"
Boom!
A massive wave of Soul Seals descended.
The terrifying corrosive force surged endlessly!
Xu Yang trembled all over; such a force was indeed terrifying.
But he was utterly unafraid!
He was different from Li Chen—the latter couldn’t resist or deal with these Soul Seals.
But for him, as long as he could barely hold out, he could keep devouring them with the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill.
Boom!
Buzz!
Xu Yang activated his spirit marks, putting everything into maintaining his defense, his body shaking nonstop.
But during this time, Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating was in full effect!
Chiiii~~
The Soul Seals shuddered visibly, as strands of violet light peeled off and surged into his body.
Each Soul Seal was devoured at a pace visible to the naked eye.
"Brother, are you alright?" Li Chen asked, adjusting his breathing, worry in his voice.
"No problem!"
Hearing Xu Yang’s spirited response, Li Chen couldn’t help clicking his tongue, but sighed in relief.
Truly a god among men!
Since when did the Spirit Realm produce such a freak?
Though he didn’t know Xu Yang’s age, regardless of how old he was, to be able to, at the True Monarch Middle Realm, remain unfazed by Men Long’s Directly Inherited Illusion Skill, soul fire, and Soul Seal—and even turn the tables—was unbelievable!
"No!"
"This can’t be happening!"
Men Long was about to go mad.
Even all the Soul Seals concentrating their attacks had no effect.
Realizing this was only letting Xu Yang devour even faster, Men Long forced herself to suppress her boundless killing intent, clenched her teeth, and abruptly withdrew the Soul Seals.
Whoosh!
The Soul Seal prison covered Li Chen once again.
Li Chen let out a muffled groan, a wry smile on his face, and inwardly cursed Men Long to hell and back!
Damn bitch!
But he didn’t panic.
As long as Xu Yang was here, he couldn’t die.
"You, friend, I am Men Long of the Cloud Dream Soul Sect. If you leave now, I’ll act as if nothing happened—and I’ll even give you ten sources of spiritual power!"
Men Long didn’t try to hide anything and spoke plainly, even revealing her identity without reservation.
With Li Chen inside, there was nothing to conceal!
At first, she was full of confidence in this kill trap, and there were others helping her.
Even without aid, she was certain Li Chen was doomed!
But she hadn’t expected, halfway through, this mysterious Cheng Yaojin to show up!
Xu Yang lifted his head slightly and said calmly, "When you wanted to kill me, you weren’t so generous!"
"You—"
Men Long was so furious she nearly crushed her fingers, gritting her teeth as she spat, "Don’t think I have no way to deal with you! Get out here now—otherwise I’ll make you my most miserable slave!"
"If you’ve got the guts, come and try."
Xu Yang sneered coldly, unconcerned by her threats, and buried himself in devouring the Soul Seals.
Boom!
A giant piece of rock on the cliff exploded and tumbled down.
Her gauzy robes billowed, the veil fluttered, and in a dazzling moment revealed an incomparable, breathtaking face.
Her expression was cold as frost, her eyes surging with furious tides.
She looked like a volcano, building up for ten thousand years, on the verge of a violent eruption.
"No one has ever dared to underestimate me before."
Men Long’s teeth ground audibly, her delicate form trembling in fury, fists clenched tight.
She glared savagely downward, and suddenly flicked her sleeve.
Violet spiritual radiance cascaded down in abundance.
All the wild beasts stopped instantly, and then lay down as if in deep sleep.
Sending more wild beasts in would only feed Xu Yang more energy.
The Altar Soul Artifact was not yet fully formed, but all its power was already spent.
"I will see for myself whether you can withstand this move." Men Long narrowed her eyes, a frigid gleam flashing out.
Her heart ached bitterly, but at this point, she could no longer care.
No matter what, that bastard had to die!
Whoosh!
Men Long produced a strange red blood-blossom and flicked it with her finger.
The blood-blossom spun in the air, surrounded by a crimson spiritual halo, appearing over the mountain stream.
Crash!
Countless blood-red threads gushed from the blossom, surging like a river, swamping every beast in the ravine.
One by one, the beasts were drained of their essence as they slept; the blood-threads grew immense, like giant pythons, pouring back into the blood-blossom together.
The blood-blossom was now twice as large as when it first appeared.
Then, under Men Long’s control, the blossom shot straight at the altar.
Men Long bared her teeth and cursed venomously, eyes fierce: "Die, you damned thing!"
