Longevity Chronicles

In that breath's time, the situation reversed once again.

Zhong Ziyang, wielding the Demon Suppressing Immortal Sword and fueled by both fresh grudges and old hatreds, though being a needle refiner by occupation and initially a practitioner from the Medical Family, had also mastered the Taishang Sword Skill quite proficiently. A flurry of chopping and slashing later, he had turned Ying Qingdi's huge beast-like head into something resembling a pus-yellow skull.

On the other side, the many cultivators, each harboring resentment, struck with extreme force. Utilizing various Divine Skills, they shattered that mountainous Evil Body into pieces, scattering corpse chunks across the sky.

The results of these two battles seemed to bring a sense of relief to everyone's mind.

It seemed as if the outcome was already decided?

The Ten Talents were supposed to be massacred, but successive arrivals of two key reinforcements ultimately turned the tide of the battle.

As long as they could continue like this, even if they couldn't kill Ying Qingdi, they could still seal him off in pieces and expel him from the country.

Under normal circumstances, that should have been the case.

However, at this moment, those strange cultivators from the peculiar sects such as the Divine Ear Sect, Ten Thousand Miles Sect, and Ting Di Sect, all showed an expression of unease.

Leading the pack this time was a monk in plain clothes, with a copper bell in hand.

This monk hailed from the Ting Di Sect and was known by the Dharma name "Secret-knowing".

He had an odd appearance, with a large mouth and nose and a face full of pockmarks, but his eyes brimmed with exceptional wisdom.

Instead of looking at the battlefield, the monk gazed at a rift above in the sky.

From within, a dense yellow Evil Light was still spilling out.

Furrowing his brow, he shook his head and said,

"Ying Qingdi has shed his humanity and the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline; he is now a pure-blooded descendant of the Evil God."

"He was already favored, and by now, he must be thoroughly marked by those 'Outer Realm Yellow Robes'. Unless we can instantly eradicate all of the Yellow Robed flesh and blood, there's no way to harm him—not by beheading and dismembering him, not even with the lingering death penalty."

"He's hard to kill, really hard to kill."

No sooner had Secret-knowing finished than the other strange cultivators nodded in agreement.

At that moment in the field, the situation took an unexpected turn.

Deafening explosions echoed simultaneously from both battlefronts, and two clouds of dense yellow like towering mushrooms burst forth.

It was those bits of flesh chopped off by Zhong Ziyang and the crowd, as well as the Dharma Body chunks, that had all suddenly exploded.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark, forcing the cultivators to retreat.

Initially, it was believed that Ying Qingdi had resorted to such tactics out of desperation, in a self-destructive gambit.

Unexpectedly, after the nauseating yellow fog had dissipated, that sticky, cold Evil Lake of blood and flesh still hung in the sky.

Like the tide surging forth, a new "Ying Qingdi" slowly crawled out from the bottom of the lake.

The smooth, supple Yellow Robe, clung to his body as if it were part of his flesh.

Neither his vital force nor anything else seemed diminished in the slightest.

Upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of everyone, including Tao Qian, turned sour.

Mei Su, Sun Xiaosheng, and a few others were also astonished.

It was as if they were meeting such a formidable opponent for the first time. The Fangcun Golden Ape scratched its head, somewhat annoyed, and said,

"This fellow, could he have refined an Undying Body, much stronger than even my Golden Ape Body?"

"Had I known he would be this troublesome, I would have visited Master's Treasure Vault before leaving, and stolen ancient treasures like the Life-terminating Nails and the Life-breaking Hammer, and hammered and drilled into his head, ensuring he met his life's end."

The Golden Ape spoke fiercely and acted impulsively, but it seemed to understand a bit of Ying Qingdi's essence.

Meanwhile, in the field, the two individuals, Tao Qian—who had Spiritual Vision—and Mei Su—who had formed the Taiqing Dharma Eye—were looking at the top of Ying Qingdi's head.

The rift connected to it above, continuously transmitting the fundamental Divine Power of the Outer Realm Yellow Robes to him.

Although because of the world's barriers, Ying Qingdi couldn't break his limits, nor could additional projections or avatars be sent to him, ensuring the invincibility of their offspring was quite simple.

A fierce battle!

Tao Qian, Zhong Ziyang, and the others used all their skills and exhausted their Divine Skills, but they couldn't do anything to Ying Qingdi.

How could they fight this?

As everyone contemplated in shock and confusion, they then saw Ying Qingdi, who had just climbed out from the lake bottom, not immediately attacking again.

Instead, he opened his pair of cold and gloomy eyes, staring at everyone with a sinister smile.

Each person he made eye contact with felt waves of bone-chilling Evil Qi uncontrollably sprouting forth.

Everyone present had extremely high Cultivation and were quick-witted and discerning.

At this moment, as they made eye contact with Ying Qingdi,

All of them felt their hearts sink, a foreboding doom they couldn't imagine rose within them.

Tao Qian reacted the most violently, thoughts raging in his mind:

"This is bad, have we overlooked some crucial matter?"

"What is it? Although Ying Qingdi can be considered Undying by now, he can at most be in the Ultimate Happiness Realm, so he shouldn't be able to kill us all at once. Devil Gods, Taiping, Heavenly Corpse, these Evil Demons are handled by Pei Hong and hundreds of other cultivators, while a few juniors cooperate with Beichan inside the Evil Cave, and the Xuan Dao Sect... As long as we hold on, we should be secure."

"Damn it, what have we overlooked?"

"It must be the influence of the Yellow Robe's Extraordinary Power!"

"This power which deliberately makes one overlook glaringly obvious signs and matters, after Ying Qingdi cut off his humanity, the emergence and Power of this Extraordinary Force will probably become more and more exaggerated..."

As these thoughts surged, Tao Qian almost went mad with urgency.

He was aware that he had neglected something crucial, which was an enhancement given by his Spirit Treasure Sublime Body.

But what exactly was it?

In the moment, it was hard to think it through.

Yet, regarding his own life and the fate of the New Moon People, he had to think of a solution even if it seemed impossible.

The more he furrowed his brow, the more frantic he became, and just as he was about to give up,

The tremendously vast Human Dao Destiny within him suddenly sprang into action, driven by Fate. The Yu Ding and the Valley God Gui transformed into two beams of Spirit Light and shot towards him.

With the flashing of the Spirit Light, Tao Qian was suddenly jolted awake.
