Chapter 241 The Sorrow of Blood and Soul [5K Subscription Request]
So he did not hesitate and instantly sacrificed thirty-six third-level low-grade talismans to form a set of Tiangang Lingfu formation.
This set of talisman arrays was originally used by Ye Linyuan to prepare for the formation of the elixir. It was originally composed of a total of twenty-one third-level low-grade treasure talismans.
Later, when he was forming the elixir, Ye Linyuan used the Tiangang Thunder Tribulation Formation to defeat the enemy, and this set of talisman formation was kept as a trump card.
After that, Ye killed Black Kui, Red Feather Black Snake, Green Chi Bird, Purple Chi Bird and other fake elixir quasi-demon kings, and used the obtained materials to refine a lot of talismans, and finally collected thirty-six third-level low-grade treasure talismans.
At this moment, the thirty-six talismans turned into a talisman formation, which instantly collided with the three people's trump cards, and instantly a shocking wave broke out.
Although the four precious talismans of Taoist Gray Whale and the thunder beads of Taoist Demon Locust that were comparable to the late Jindan stage were powerful, they were ultimately unable to completely break through the talisman formation and kill Ye Linyuan.
Seeing that even after using all his trump cards, he still couldn't kill Ye Linyuan, and Ye Linyuan's helpers were about to rush over to help, the Taoist Demon Locust couldn't help but say, "This Taoist Xuanyuan took the Breaking Extreme Pill, and he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"If we use all our strength, we will surely be able to kill it completely."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist Demon Locust urged the most elite group of demon locusts to attack, and a group of foundation-building demon locusts actually broke into the endless sea.
They rushed towards Ye Linyuan without fear of life and death, trying to hold Ye Linyuan back to create a chance for the three powerful men to defeat the enemy.
"it's time."
Ye Linyuan's eyes flashed with light, and then suddenly a beam of golden light shot out.
In an instant, a golden needle pierced through the void, piercing through countless locusts on the spot and heading towards the innermost Soul-Devouring Demon King.
"hiss--"
Faced with such an attack, the Soul-Devouring Demon King let out a horrified roar, but unfortunately it was too late.
Although the Soul-Devouring Demon King was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he was after all at the bottom of the same level in terms of strength. He was a Zerg who only relied on numbers to win. Facing the full-strength attack of the Mahayana Gengjin Needle, he had no time to react and was instantly pierced through.
With just one move, the Soul-Devouring Demon King was completely killed in the ocean, falling helplessly into the vast sea.
With the death of the Soul-Devouring Demon King, countless locusts suddenly lost control and fled in all directions like headless flies.
"not good."
The sudden death of the Soul-Devouring Demon King caught the Taoist Demon Locust off guard.
He suddenly felt something was wrong and wanted to escape far away, but it was too late.
But all around, the Fighting Golden Ape, Ye Xuqiu and other Ye family golden elixirs had already entered the formation and surrounded this floating sea area.
In the center of the vast ocean that stretches for hundreds of miles, a bright moon rose into the sky, completely covering the hundreds of miles of sea with a layer of silver frost.
Under the bright moon in the sky, Ye Linyuan stood above the nine heavens, looking at them like a banished immortal from outer space overlooking the mortal world.
"Everyone, it's rude not to return the favor."
"Today, I will let you see my methods."
"Chong-"
As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, sword energy appeared between heaven and earth.
Billions of sword lights flew out from the ocean and turned into a torrential sword rain that swirled around Ye Linyuan.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky sank and the abyss became silent.
A bright moon appeared across the sky, and the vast ocean turned into a sword domain.
This was the first time in Ye Linyuan's life that he activated the Wanhua Sword Art in public. The Wanhua Sword Art, which once dominated the Chixia Continent in Nanling and was known as the best sword art of all time, reappeared in the world.
The endless sword domain swept past, and infinite sword intent stirred the world, turning into a peerless sword domain that covered hundreds of miles of ocean.
"This is……"
Seeing this scene, the Taoist Demon Locust was speechless.
His most powerful trump card, the third-grade superior-quality thunder bead, was only comparable to the full-strength attack of a late Jindan cultivator.
But now it seems that the power of Ye Linyuan's move is almost as powerful as this one.
"I'm afraid his strength is enough to fight against a late Jindan."
This was the Taoist Demon Locust's last thought, and then an infinite sword domain swept over and completely nailed him to death in the vast sky.
After killing the Taoist Demon Locust, Ye Linyuan lowered his eyes again and looked at the Taoist Gray Whale calmly.
However, Taoist Gray Whale's expression changed slightly, and he casually sacrificed a third-grade top-grade talisman to pierce through the sword domain. It suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew across the sky, escaping from the sword domain in an instant.
This time, in order to escape, Taoist Gray Whale even ignored his giant whale mount, which was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
"He escaped very quickly."
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, but quickly retracted the thought.
With his current strength, he dare not say that he is completely comparable to the late Jindan stage, but at least in terms of the two means of attack and formation, he is comparable to the late Jindan stage.
With such strength, he can escape unscathed even when facing a late Jindan cultivator. There is no need to worry even if the Gray Whale Taoist escapes.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Li Xuangeng.
Li Xuangeng is worthy of being a top genius with superior golden elixir. At this moment, he activated the Canghai formation to protect his body. It was actually difficult to completely wipe him out with just the power of the sword domain.
However, Ye Linyuan, who was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core, had cultivated the Nine-Patterned Golden Core and mastered the Wanhua Sword Technique, was ultimately not someone he could compare to.
But Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, his eyes calmly saying: "Brother Li, our grudge ends here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the infinite sword domain instantly merged into one, transforming into a peerless immortal sword that slashed down with force, intending to kill Li Xuangeng completely.
"Chong-"
But at this moment, a dark sword came from the depths of the sea.
Faced with such an attack, Ye Linyuan frowned slightly and activated the Canghai Formation to block the sword.
However, the person who came was extremely powerful. After one sword failed, he swung it again. Twelve consecutive Xuanyin sword auras pierced through Cangxu, and finally made a hole in the Canghai formation.
Li Xuangeng took this opportunity to seize a glimmer of hope and escaped with all his strength.
"Humph--"
With Li Xuangeng's strength at the top middle stage of the Jindan realm, the rest of the Ye family were ultimately unable to resist him and could only watch him escape from the Canghai formation.
Ye Linyuan did not chase after him. He just looked into the depths of the void with a slightly solemn look and spoke calmly.
"Fellow Taoist, we meet again."
As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, a black snake with wings on its back slowly emerged from the depths of the endless void.
But it slowly fell down and turned into a handsome young man in a black robe. He looked at Ye Linyuan calmly and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that in just two hundred years, you can already discuss Taoism with me."
It turns out that this person is the Seven Domain Alliance’s number one enemy, Teng Snake.
Looking back to the past, when he first encountered the Teng Snake, Ye Linyuan could only rely on the Qingyu Sky-breaking Boat to barely escape.
But now, two hundred years have passed, and Teng Snake has already stepped into the middle stage of the Golden Core. His strength is enough to rival half of the late Golden Core. He is more than a hundred times stronger than before.
But at this moment, facing this viper, Ye Linyuan was able to remain calm.
"The Twelve Mysterious Yin Swords, according to legend, are the innate magical powers of the Teng Snake Clan. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. I never thought that you have already cultivated to the Mahayana stage."
"Your Excellency is indeed a pure-blooded True Spirit, worthy of being a Nascent Soul Overlord."
Ye Linyuan replied calmly, and then said: "He and I are enemies of the Great Dao. If you stop me from killing him today, I'm afraid we will fight to the death in the future."
"So what if the fight ends in death? Why should I be afraid of having one more enemy?"
The handsome young man smiled and replied calmly: "I came here today to help you, but I didn't expect to help him escape."
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan roughly understood Tengshe's thoughts.
For the Teng Snake, no matter who wins between him and Li Xuangeng, it will take action to stop it.
Because once Li Xuangeng wins, the Seven Domain Alliance will have one more late Jindan stage cultivator.
Although Tengshe is confident that he can break through to the late Jindan stage, once a late Jindan person appears in the Seven Domain Alliance, it will disrupt his plan to dominate the Seven Domain Alliance.
In Tengshe's eyes, the entire Seven Domain Alliance is his territory, so naturally he would not allow someone in the late Jindan stage to appear here.
If Ye Linyuan wins, then after swallowing Li Xuangeng's Tao essence, his cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and Ye Linyuan will be able to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core in a very short time.
In his eyes, Ye Linyuan is still in the early stage of Golden Core, but after taking the Breaking Extreme Pill, he is already comparable to himself.
Once Ye Linyuan breaks through the middle stage of the Golden Core, he will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tengshe even without taking the Breaking Extreme Pill. If that were all, it would be fine. The key point is that after Ye Linyuan swallows Li Xuangeng, he will probably break through the late stage of the Golden Core in a hundred years.
And with the strength and potential shown by Ye Linyuan, he might be in much more trouble than Li Xuangeng by then. At that time, he, Tengshe, might be forced to be expelled from the Seven Domain Alliance.
So this time, Tengshe attacked without hesitation and stopped Ye Linyuan from killing Li Xuangeng.
"I see."
Ye Linyuan understood the whole story, so he didn't say much. He just looked at the snake and said, "It's hard to tell who's the winner between you and me, so let's just say goodbye."
The Teng Snake smiled and said nothing more. It just turned around and disappeared into the sky.
After the Teng Snake left, Ye Linyuan looked back at the sea, and a look of indifference appeared in his eyes.
But in the sea, the Luoxia Sect Master and the two puppets had been surrounded by the Ye family and had completely lost the chance to escape.
The old monster Blood Soul looked at Fairy Yuehua and revealed a long-lost smile.
Li Xuangeng escaped, and they were finally able to be alone. He had been waiting for this scene for more than two hundred years.
"Su Yue..."
The old ghost Xuehun pulled Fairy Yuehua and wanted to say something.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of "puff", and the sound of the sword piercing the flesh was heard.
The old ghost of Blood Soul looked down and saw Fairy Yuehua holding a dagger and stabbing it into his chest.
"Qiming."
Fairy Yuehua was in tears, but she still held the dagger and stabbed it into his heart little by little.
As she stabbed, tears streamed down her face and she trembled as she said, "Why do you care about me? Why do you take me away?"
"I gave up everything just to let you live a good life. You can be free and happy on your own. Why do you want to go down this road of no return?"
"No!" The old ghost trembled and held her hand tightly: "Without you by my side, how can I live a carefree life."
"But since that night, we have no destiny..." Fairy Yuehua's eyes were full of tears, and her clear eyes gradually dimmed.
"No!"
The Blood Soul Taoist roared in despair and held her tightly in his arms, but in the end he was powerless.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw him slowly raise his head, look at Ye Linyuan with a trace of relief and said: "Brother Ye, my pursuit in this life is still in vain after all."
"But it is better to die by the sword of the one you love than to die by the hands of others."
At this point, Taoist Xuehun said with a hint of pleading, "I have a last wish before I die. Can you please, for the sake of our past friendship, bury us together under the osmanthus tree in our hometown?"
Ye Linyuan was silent. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
"Thank you very much."
The Blood Soul Taoist smiled with relief, hugged his beloved, and the last ray of life was quietly lost.
Seeing that the Blood Soul Taoist had completely fallen, Ye Linyuan lifted up their bodies with a flick of his sleeves, a look of regret appearing on his face.
Li Xuangeng was too cruel. Perhaps he understood that the Blood Soul Taoist and the Yuehua Fairy were no longer useful, or perhaps he was worried that Ye Linyuan had the means to break the soul seal in the Yuehua Fairy's sea of consciousness.
No matter what, in order to avoid having two more enemies, Li Xuangeng controlled Fairy Su Yue to kill the Blood Soul Taoist with a sword, and then let Fairy Su Yue commit suicide.
In the end, Taoist Xuehun died at the hands of his beloved, and Su Yue died in the arms of her beloved.
This is a tragedy full of regrets, but for the two people who originally had no hope, perhaps it is the best ending.
"The shadow of the crane crosses the cold pond, and the soul of the flower is buried in the cold moon."
"Brother Xuehun, Miss Suyue, you may not be born on the same day, but you can die on the same day. You will not be alone on the road to the underworld."
Ye Linyuan sighed and finally collected the remains of the two people.
Then he looked at the rest of the battlefield and saw that the two Jindan puppets had been captured, while the Luoxia Sect Master had been seriously injured.
When the Black Dragon Demon King fell, the Red Flame Demon King decisively chose to escape, but the Luoxia Sect Master chose to get close to Li Xuangeng and others.
In his eyes at that time, with three top-notch mid-stage Jindan masters and the help of two fourth-level Jindan demon kings, even if he could not kill Ye Linyuan, there would be no problem in evacuating safely.
Little did he know that it was this one difference in thought that led to his current desperate situation.
"Hahaha!"
"Master Xuanyuan, you really have a very clever method."
"Such a great killing power is enough to make you invincible in the Seven Domain Alliance. I didn't expect you to hide it all the time. It's not unfair for me to lose today."
Luoxia Sect Master slowly spoke, looking at Ye Linyuan helplessly and said, "It's a pity that my Luoxia Sect's thousand-year heritage rose completely because of me, but it also fell because of me."
"I, Meng Rongjin, have been a master throughout my life, but in the end, I feel ashamed of my ancestors."
The leader of Luoxia Sect let out a long roar, and finally drew out his sword and committed suicide above the sky.
Seeing the leader of Luoxia Sect committing suicide, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a look of emotion.
The Luoxia Sect has a history of nearly a thousand years, but it was only a foundation-building sect in the past. It was not until nearly five hundred years ago that the leader of the Luoxia Sect rose to power and broke through the Golden Core realm that this lineage became a major Golden Core force.
At that time, the leader of Luoxia Sect became famous at a young age. He chose a fire-attributed technique that was less practiced by people. By chance, he brought Luoxia Sect to an unprecedented peak.
However, due to his own lack of strength, he was involved in Ye Linyuan's battle for the great Dao, which led to his own death.
Otherwise, with his strength at the third level of the Golden Core realm, even if he had grievances with the Tianxing Sword Sect, it would still be more than enough for him to protect himself. At least he could leave the Seven Realms Alliance with a few elite disciples.
Now that the leader of Luoxia Sect has passed away, even if Ye Linyuan and Tianxing Sword Sect show leniency, Luoxia Sect cannot avoid destruction.
Since the Luoxia Sect lost its Jindan master, the Jindan sect foundation it left behind has become fat meat in the eyes of other major forces in the Seven Domain Alliance.
Not to mention the Jindan forces, even if the foundation-building forces find an opportunity, they will probably take a bite.
Unless Luoxia Sect can find protection from other Jindan forces, but given the current situation of the Seven Domain Alliance, do other forces still dare to protect Luoxia Sect?
Ye Linyuan remained silent, but he already knew the answer in his heart.
"Roar--"
Just as Ye Linyuan was in deep thought, the giant whale in the formation was constantly ramming, trying to break through the barrier of the formation.
The giant whale of Taoist Gray Whale is a huge golden elixir sea beast, which is naturally endowed with thick skin and flesh.
Even though Han Chi, Fighting Golden Ape, Ye Chongyun and six or seven other Jindan masters joined forces to attack it, they were unable to inflict serious damage on it.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the third-level soul-purifying liquid, so I can't erase the soul imprint in its sea of consciousness."
Ye Linyuan felt a little regretful. This kind of deep-sea beast above the Jindan level actually has a certain degree of intelligence.
Especially for sea animals with relatively high intelligence such as whales, it is possible to tame them if they can be captured.
This giant deep-sea whale has thick skin and flesh. Not only is its strength at the middle stage of the Golden Core, but it can also travel across the vast deep sea.
If this sea beast can be tamed, the Ye family will not only have an additional mid-stage Jindan fighter, but it will also be much easier for them to leave the Seven Regions Alliance and go to other sea areas in the future.
Although a cultivator can only contract three spirit beasts in his lifetime, and one must have Jindan cultivation to contract a Jindan spirit beast, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi and others are all Jindan cultivators, and Shui Hanqing will also be able to break through to the Jindan level soon.
Therefore, the Ye family has no shortage of candidates for contracted spirit beasts.
But unfortunately, the Taoist Gray Whale left a soul imprint in the sea of consciousness of this giant beast. If that soul imprint cannot be erased, it will be impossible to contract it.
The only thing that can erase this kind of soul imprint is at least a third-grade mid-level soul-purifying liquid. This kind of treasure is probably not available in the Seven Domain Alliance.
"Never mind. High-level sea beasts are the most common in the Cangling Sea. If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can try to capture one or two."
"This one in front of us is just right for building a third-level treasure ship."
Ye Linyuan withdrew his thoughts, then used the Wanhua Sword Technique, and soon killed the giant whale.
With the fall of the giant whale, the battle finally came to an end. Ye Linyuan asked everyone to clean up the battlefield, and suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Jindan, pretending to have consumed a lot of energy.
But he looked pale, and he bowed to the Master of Minghuang Sword and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
"where."
The Minghuang Sword Master was covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had paid a great price to come and help.
But he smiled bitterly, and then said, "My Tianxing Sword Sect wanted to help, but unfortunately the Changqing Immortal Sect, Xinghuo Sect, and Sanyuan League joined forces to contain us, so we really couldn't get away."
