Chapter 1034 - Attacking the Mind
Chapter 1034: Attacking the Mind
The rain became heavier like a curtain of rain covering the Earth. It did not have any intention of stopping. From afar, the mountains and the ground were shrouded by the curtain of rain. It was a vast expanse.
Strangely, there was not a single drop of rain on the altar as if it was blocked by a mysterious force.
Li Xin was in a great mood. He casually glanced at Blood Shadow and said calmly, “Alright, it’s your turn now.”
He grabbed the air with his right hand, and a strong suction force burst out from his palm. Blood Shadow’s body was out of control. He pounced toward Li Xin’s right palm, and Li Xin directly twisted his neck.
At this time, even Li Xin’s eyes became serious. He straightened his left middle finger, and a mysterious power was transferred to it. The color of this middle finger changed as if it was rotten, and it looked ominous. He exhaled lightly and said, “Those who fear the heavens defy their hearts, and those who defy their hearts fear kindness. Today, I’ll break the sky, and this universe can’t restrain me! I’m the heavens when I speak, and I’m the path when I speak.”
His voice was arrogant and unruly, and it reverberated in all directions. It carried an unspeakable domineering aura, and it traveled far into the unknown distance. It was as if the universe was reverberating with this terrifying voice.
To be fair, Li Xin was a formidable person.
He did not lack strength, confidence, and execution. Nonetheless, he lacked a kind and upright heart. This was his strongest point, but it was also his weakness.
As soon as he finished, he pointed his left finger at the center of Blood Shadow’s eyebrows. As if he was pulling out silk from a cocoon, he gently pulled outward.
A white silk thread was slowly pulled out from Blood Shadow’s body. It was like cause and effect, like Dao and fate. Li Xin wrapped it around his fingertip with a serious expression. Blood Shadow’s soul was the most important link to open the secret realm and to enter the Dragons’ World. There was no room for any mistakes.
At this moment, while Blood Shadow was a determined and unmoving Venerable One, he still let out an indescribably shrill scream. This was because what was torn out was his soul, which was the true spirit that he had tempered for his entire life. The pain that came from the depths of his soul was thousands of times more painful than the pain on his body. They were incomparable.
Hearing Blood Shadow’s scream, Li Xin’s hand moved even faster.
The white silk on his hand condensed. Karma, childhood memories, and even some unspeakable things—everything was torn out and gradually condensed into the shape of a human.
Blood Shadow’s scream had stopped. He no longer had the strength to scream, and his eyes became dull.
Even so, he still did not die. His body curled up in the heavy rain. He grinned, and his clothes were wet due to the rain
It was truly sad and lamentable for a domineering Venerable One to become like this.
Nevertheless, this was reality. The winner was the king, whereas the loser was the bandit. Everything depended on one’s own strength.
Li Xin’s eyes were burning. As he waved his hand, Blood Shadow’s soul merged into the altar.
He pinched his fingers and said in a deep voice, “Today, I’ll use a Venerable One’s soul and the blood of tens of thousands of people as a sacrifice to open the Dragons’ secret realm! I don’t believe in karma and fate. Even if they exist, I’ll defy the heavens and change my fate. Open!”
As soon as he said that, the blood in the blood pool turned into numerous red snakes and danced in the air.
Majestic Yin Qi spread out from the altar. Blood spread out like water as if they wanted to carve a certain shape on the altar.
If someone saw this, their bodies would surely exude an unspeakable coldness. As the cold Yin Qi spread out, their minds would explode.
All of a sudden, Blood Shadow’s soul condensed in the blood pool and absorbed the blood inside. A fierce and evil aura spread out, and the aura became stronger.
At the same time, the mountains trembled, and the fog churned. A crack suddenly appeared on the ground as if it had been torn open by a pair of big hands. Boundless fog spread out from it.
Li Xin’s breathing was rapid, and his eyes were burning.
At the spur of the moment, an explosive sound suddenly came from the curtain of rain. As it spread out, the raindrops that fell, the swaying leaves in the wind and rain, and the shaking ground—everything seemed to have stopped beyond common sense. Time seemed to have stopped at this time.
The sound contained a power of laws that was difficult to detect.
Li Xin’s pupils constricted. His heart clenched as he thought to himself, ‘Who on earth could possess such power?’
Despite that, he was not afraid. Among Spiritualists, there might be people who could defeat him, but it was impossible to say that they could kill him. This was a powerhouse’s confidence.
Of course, at this moment, no matter who it was, they would not be able to stop Li Xin’s advancement. He would kill any god or Buddha that stood in his way.
“Boom…” The curtain of rain seemed to be separated by a mighty force. Amidst the raging storm, a 10-meters-wide arc spread out in front of Li Xin. There was not a single drop of rain in this area as if it was a shackle.
“Acting mysterious!” Li Xin snorted coldly and raised his palm.
“Surging Clouds Palm!” He shouted coldly.
With that, the rain curtain within 333 meters started to surge and turn upside down.
A black palm suddenly condensed in the rain curtain. It was majestic. The patterns on the fingers were clear and gave off a sumptuous black Qi. This palm seemed to have extended out from a pitch-black and deep crack. Its murderous aura shook the sky and earth. A magnanimous pressure pressed down, and the black light seemed to be able to corrode everything in the world.
In an instant, it pressed down on the arc.
The sky rumbled, and an exalted airwave reversed. Under this attack, the rain curtain within 333 meters was swept out.
If one wanted to describe it, it was like a rubber ball formed by raindrops that expanded and exploded. The might of a Venerable One was clearly displayed.
“Haha, your technique isn’t any weaker than before, Venerable Li. I was still thinking about what I should do if you’re too weak now and can’t block even one of my moves. How boring would that be?” A voice cut through the rain curtain and echoed in Li Xin’s ears.
“It’s you?” Li Xin was stunned at first, but then he revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
It was truly a pleasant surprise. First, he was surprised, then he felt that it was pleasant.
Li Xin was surprised that Ou Yangming had become a Venerable One. Given the young fellow’s power, he had definitely become a Venerable One. Li Xin believed that there was no mistake about this. Afterward, he felt that it was pleasant because the person who spoke was actually Ou Yangming. He had gone through a lot of trouble just to find him.
The voice had appeared in Li Xin’s dreams thousands of times. How could he forget it?
Of course, all of this was referring to him devouring the Devouring Power and the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in Ou Yangming’s body in his dreams. It was not a random thing.
Speaking of which, during this period, Li Xin had turned Danzhou upside down several times.
Having said that, Ou Yangming seemed to have vanished from the face of the Earth. There was not even a single piece of news about him. As a last resort, Li Xin had spread the news that the young fellow had Eternal Pills. There were 2 main purposes for doing this. First, to use the powers of the cultivators in Danzhou and Zhangzhou who were about to reach the end of their lifespans to find Ou Yangming. As soon as anyone found a trace, Li Xin would strike like lightning. He would be fast and ruthless, making it impossible for the young fellow to escape.
Second, to take the opportunity to make Ai Hongli side with him, increasing the odds of his victory.
Unfortunately, neither of those goals had been achieved.
To be precise, this was an open trap. Even though everyone knew someone was intentionally promoting it, they could not help but fall inside.
This was because the Eternal Pill could sustain one’s life force and allow one to gain many years of life. For cultivators who were near the end, the temptation was unimaginable.
However, to Li Xin’s surprise, Ou Yangming was nowhere to be found. It was as if all traces of his existence had been erased.
He could never have imagined that Ou Yangming had long since entered the Big Ruins. If he was not in Danzhou or Zhangzhou, how could anyone find him?
“That’s right, it’s me!” Ou Yangming transformed into a beam of light and landed 3 kilometers away from Li Xin. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hands were behind his back. His expression was calm and peaceful.
Looking at the altar in front of him that looked hellish, he shook his head. At this moment, he had turned into a huge dragon and soared into the sky. Nothing could stop his rise. He was no longer the Intermediate Spiritualist who had been chased to the point of fleeing.
In the Spiritual Realm, Ou Yangming had become a Venerable One who stood at the top of the pyramid. His dantian had turned into a lake. He had passed 9 Heavenly Thunderbolts and entered the mystical realm of the connection between Heaven and man.
Furthermore, he had witnessed the construction of the laws in the poisonous pill’s world, and his strength was unparalleled. Therefore, when he met Li Xin, who was a top-grade Venerable One, again, he had nothing to fear.
Li Xin looked at Ou Yangming, and his emotions were complicated. He thought to himself, ‘How… How much time has passed? How did he break through so quickly? Are the Dragons’ Devouring Power and the Phoenixes’ fire really so strong? If I can get them and enter the Dragons’ World…’
His eyes lit up at the thought of this. They were like burning stars that could melt everything.
Blood flashed in his eyes. “Since you’re here, don’t leave. I want the powers of the Dragons and the Phoenixes in your body!” He had an arrogant look on his face. It seemed that if he said he wanted them, Ou Yangming would have to give them to him. If the young fellow did not hand them over, he would take it by himself.
“Ha, let’s see if you can do that.” Ou Yangming’s face was as calm as a lake.
A strange look appeared in Li Xin’s eyes. He noted, “Many people have said this to me before.” He deliberately paused and gently licked his lips. His voice sounded as if it came from a cold pool in hell, where it was bone-chilling. “But they never ended well. Their spiritual powers were devoured by me in the end. Even their souls were burned in candlelights for 100 years. As such, being reincarnated and stepping on the 6 paths of reincarnation became an extravagant hope for them.”
“You’re really a bad person…” Ou Yangming commented with a calm face.
“If I kill all the good people, I’ll be a good person,” Li Xin said.
They seemed to be chatting but in fact, the battle had already begun covertly.
Attacking the mind. Yes, attacking the mind.
Being Venerable Ones, it was difficult for one to have fluctuations in one’s mind.
That said, if one could make the other party doubt their path before the battle, one could suppress the other party in terms of aura and gain the upper hand.
After all, once one’s aura was suppressed, one could at most unleash only 80% of one’s strength. The outcome of a battle between Venerable Ones would likely depend on the remaining 20%.
Hence, the scene from before happened.
At this moment, the 4 beasts had also arrived.
Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles on its body were like dragons. A tyrannical aura swept out, and the space within 333 meters exploded with a bang. Spiritual Qi reversed while undercurrents surged. Its body moved, and it let out a long cry, “Master, let me help you!”
