Chapter 1375: Chapter 245: Master Ni Yu (Part 2)

Master Ni Yu’s heart tightened, and she quickly sent a message, urging her two allies to hurry over.

At the same time, she directly unfolded her Lifebound Cave Heaven.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ten clusters of five-colored streaming lights rose into the air.

Each cluster contained an artifact: an ancient bell, a big cauldron, a bronze ancient sword, a golden seal...

"Be careful, Master Ni Yu is a Great Refiner."

Cui Zhen whispered a warning: "Although her realm is not as high as yours, the number of Spiritual Treasures she has refined is vast. These Spiritual Treasures might already have developed their own wills, nurturing their own Taoist Intents." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Great Refiners and Array Masters typically do not have high personal combat power, even when cultivating to the Yang God Realm, they are not adept at one-on-one combat.

Characters like Master Ni Yu hold a high status in the Demon Country.

Even the Great Palace Master and Old Saint Emperor must show her significant respect.

The more prestigious the Holy Land, the more it needs a Great Refiner to oversee...

Although she cannot refine the Supreme Taoist Treasure, Master Ni Yu can create top-level Spiritual Treasures!

"Suppress!"

Master Ni Yu clasped her hands together and uttered in a low tone.

In an instant, ten caves released their streaming lights all at once.

The moment she acted, she used her trump card divine skills!

The ten Spiritual Treasures were all top-level, two of which seemed enhanced by the strongest, containing extraordinarily deep Great Dao Intent, a notch above the rest. The other eight, though not enhanced, were still remarkable.

Ten streams of light fell in ten directions.

Master Ni Yu’s intent was clear: Wu Jiu and "that one" from Great Ape Mountain would arrive shortly, and she just needed to hold Xie Xuanyi for a moment to prevent his escape.

But unfortunately,

Master Ni Yu completely underestimated Xie Xuanyi.

The ten treasures scattered, each landing in different places, but before forming an array, Xie Xuanyi had already moved.

He took a step forward.

Just one step.

Xie Xuanyi was right in front of Master Ni Yu, with a soil-yellow big cauldron floating before him—this was the most fierce and powerful artifact among the ten, once enhanced by the Great Ape Mountain Saint Emperor with his Innate Divine Ability, possessing the Great Dao Intent of a "strongest"!

"Go!"

Xie Xuanyi struck the cauldron with a palm, releasing a deep, resonating boom!

The big cauldron trembled violently.

A profoundly thick Taoist Intent radiated out.

For many years, Great Ape Mountain and Heavenly Phoenix Palace had been at odds; their heritage was tied to the "Earth Abyss". This thick Taoist Intent caused Xie Xuanyi’s robe to ripple, yet he remained unmoved.

If the Saint Emperor had been here in person wielding this cauldron, indeed, he would have to avoid its sharpness.

But now...

This was merely a weapon with a Great Dao Intent!

Life and Death Dao Intent clashed with Earth Abyss Dao Intent under Xie Xuanyi’s powerful strike.

The soil-yellow big cauldron was sent flying away.

Master Ni Yu’s pupils contracted, realizing something was seriously wrong, but it was too late.

Xie Xuanyi had never intended to battle within the great array; he headed straight for Master Ni Yu, after smacking the cauldron away, he immediately followed with another palm strike!

A bright cyan gleam appeared on Master Ni Yu’s forehead.

A cyan barrier unfolded, forcibly withstanding Xie Xuanyi’s strike.

Had it been someone else, they would have been critically injured.

But Master Ni Yu was, after all, a Great Refiner, even after summoning all ten top-level Spiritual Treasures, she still retained a Body Protection Treasure. In her forehead was embedded a five-colored feather. The Five-Colored Ridge has deep connections with Heavenly Phoenix Palace; this feather was left by a "strongest" from Heavenly Phoenix Palace hundreds of years ago, able to withstand one attack from a Yang God Realm Great Divine Ability User below the Tenth Layer Heaven!

Having endured one attack now, the feather immediately showed cracks.

"Such potent destructive power..."

Master Ni Yu drew a sharp breath, her expression losing its calm.

This feather treasure is not a consumable item, able to absorb nature’s spiritual energy for self-repair, but at this rate, it could endure at most three more strikes before shattering!

Master Ni Yu hurriedly retreated, simultaneously using her Divine Thought to maneuver her treasures back in.

Streams of light flew back.

Xie Xuanyi ignored them and struck again.

This time, he elevated the Meaning of Destruction to its peak!

A second rumbling explosion sounded!

The five-colored feather emitted a cracking sound, unable to bear the load!

"What?"

Master Ni Yu’s expression drastically changed.

Just two strikes, and her life-saving Supreme Treasure was nearly shattered!

Xie Xuanyi had just been promoted, hadn’t he... the legendary Harmonizer, was he truly this strong?

Swish, swish, swish!

The void echoed with the sound of space being torn apart.

After enduring two strikes, Master Ni Yu’s delayed counterattack came forth.

Nine top-level spiritual treasures swept back from the Heavenly Peak, turning into streams of light, and pierced towards Xie Xuanyi—

"Be careful!"

Cui Zhen, seeing this, quickly transmitted his voice anxiously.

However, Xie Xuanyi did not even turn his head.

During these more than two hundred days of meditation, he had completely integrated his Taoist Intent and was just lacking an opportunity to test his skills. Master Ni Yu appearing to besiege him might be a disaster for Cui Zhen, but for Xie Xuanyi... it was nothing. As long as the Great Palace Master and the Old Saint Emperor did not appear, then no one in the Demon Country could stop him!

"Divine Embryo, emerge."

Xie Xuanyi softly murmured in his Heart Lake.

In fact, calling it a "Divine Embryo" at this point was no longer appropriate. After Xie Xuanyi’s harmonization and promotion, he transformed, and his dharma could already be called a "Sacred Body."

A brilliant Golden Body appeared between heaven and earth.

The golden robe fluttered, full of vigor and spirit.

The Divine Embryo’s every move was imbued with the Taoist Realm, the ultimate Taoist Intent, also an abnormality belonging solely to the Harmonizer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Successive loud crashes erupted like thunder.

The spiritual treasures, controlled by Master Ni Yu’s Heart Thought, were punched away one by one by the Divine Embryo.

These spiritual treasures were inherently extremely sturdy...

But after clashing head-on with the Divine Embryo, several treasures developed cracks!

"Ugh..."

Master Ni Yu’s face turned pale, as if struck by lightning, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Normal cultivators can only refine one Lifebound Treasure.

But Master Ni Yu was different. She inherited the legacy of an ancient saint artifact refiner from the Demon Country and learned the Great Refining Technique, melding a total of ten life-saving treasures... refining so many top-level spiritual treasures naturally came with a price.

Every treasure here was connected to her Heart Lake.

When these treasures were cracked, she suffered severe injuries as well, and her aura instantly became feeble.

"This is terrifying!"

"Can’t fight... completely can’t fight!"

Looking at Xie Xuanyi’s towering dharma, Master Ni Yu’s eyes filled with fear.

When she agreed with Wu Jiu to intercept, she thought of it as an easy task, since battles between Great Divine Ability Users usually lasted for several hours, and even if fighting desperately, it would take half a day.

She never imagined that Xie Xuanyi, who was in the same realm as her, would be so powerful and far above her...

Not to mention stopping Xie Xuanyi.

If Wu Jiu didn’t arrive soon, she feared she might be directly killed by Xie Xuanyi!

"I must fight..."

Though fear arose, Master Ni Yu did not retreat.

She gritted her teeth, her face showing a trace of killing intent.

Among these ten spiritual treasures, two were distinctly different.

One was the Thick Earth Tripod left in front to block one strike from Xie Xuanyi, which was blessed by the Holy Emperor.

Though Xie Xuanyi was strong,

he couldn’t shatter the Thick Earth Tripod, only knock it away.

The other...

was also blessed by the Strongest.

"Kill!"

Master Ni Yu screamed hoarsely, exerting every effort to control the bronze ancient sword in the void to stab straight at Xie Xuanyi.

This bronze ancient sword seemed simple but was filled with mystery.

In her youth, Master Ni Yu explored a ruined Ancient Realm, and from there, she obtained the Great Refining Technique and a significant opportunity that helped her promote to the Yang God Realm... this bronze ancient sword was the realm-suppressing object of that Ancient Realm.

If the Thick Earth Tripod was blessed by the Holy Emperor,

then this bronze ancient sword had been refined by a Heavenly Human Great Cultivator a thousand years ago into a Pseudo-Treasure!

"Crackle..."

Accompanied by Master Ni Yu’s angry shout.

The sword body of the bronze ancient sword trembled violently, and a large amount of rust burned away.

An incomparably sharp chill erupted forth!

The bronze ancient sword ignored nearly a hundred feet of void distance, instantly moving to Xie Xuanyi’s back.

"!!!"

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, looking back, he saw a world of silver and piercing coldness pressing in.

At this moment.

An unfamiliar unease surged in his Heart Lake.
