Chapter 750

Just as Blind Crow recovered a little from the suppression of the Golden Nirvana Bridge, he was besieged by the integrated Minor Heavenly Stars Formation. He felt as if he was trapped in a vast and barren starry sky. Surrounded by darkness, he felt extremely small, but there were stars slowly lighting up in the night sky. Looking up at the starry sky, they seemed to be far away but were actually close. There were Azure Dragons baring their fangs and claws, White Tigers roaring fiercely, Vermilion Birds burning with evil, and so on. They came from all directions without any gaps.

He wanted to use his Fairy Skills to block them, but his Primordial Spirit had not fully recovered from the stagnation, so it was very difficult to operate. Even his Natal Magic Treasure, Deity Mourning Flag, was difficult to control. He was about to die in the Minor Heavenly Stars Formation.

But at this time, the Blind Crow's pupil-less, strange white eyes suddenly began to spin, and a black dot appeared in the center of the vortex. It grew larger and larger, and finally turned into two black pupils without any reflections. Everything was silent, and there was no magnificent scene. Instead, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Heavenly Spirits, the Earthly Fiends, and the many other stars rapidly dimmed and withered, as if they had reached the end of their lives. Nearby, whether it was the laws or the Spiritual Qi, directly "died" and dispersed.

This was Blind Crow's unique Rank Four Fairy Skill. It could be said to have the essence of the Great Way of Death, "Eyes of Death" with the power at the peak of Rank Four.

He was a Ghost Crow unique to the Nine Nether World. Later, he became a disciple of Mangshan Ghostly Monarch and learned the Ghost Tao. After he achieved the Primordial Divinity, he was brimming with talent. He combined a unique Divine Sense of his tribe with several Immortal Skills of Mangshan Ghostly Taoism. Finally, before the third Heaven Tribulation, he created this powerful Immortal Skill. His strength jumped to the top among the disciples of Mangshan Ghostly Taoism.

However, he was not at the Golden Immortal level, so there were many flaws in this Fairy Skill. The most direct flaw was that his eyes would be completely blind. Even if he survived the third Heaven's Tribulation, he would not be able to recover. Fortunately, he had the Primordial Sense, so it did not matter if he could not see. But another flaw was more troublesome. After using "Eyes of Death", he had to rest for at least 49 days before he could use it again. Otherwise, he would explode and die.

Therefore, he rarely used "Eyes of Death" unless it was a critical moment. But at this moment, under the suppression of the Nirvana Bridge, this Fairy Skill was the only thing he could use smoothly.

The power of death spread and the stars in the sky withered. In the blink of an eye, the stars disappeared, the night retreated, and the "death" also disappeared. The peak of the fourth rank celestial art and the Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasure, the Supreme Sword Art, and the Broken Jade Formula were tied.

With the obstruction of the Eye of Death, Blind Crow finally recovered from the suppression of the Tai Chi Diagram. Just as he was about to shift his position and launch a counterattack, he felt that the surrounding space was locked. He found that after he left the night starry sky, he did not return to the Yin Mountain cave. Instead, he was in a vast universe filled with illusory worlds, black holes, space storms, and the collapse of the sun and moon. He felt even more insignificant and helpless.

They shook in unison, the cosmos turning upside down. It was extremely terrifying, the power of formation type immortal techniques fully displayed.

Immediately, black water droplets fell from the top of Blind Crow's head and shrouded the surrounding area. The rainwater was like a misty spring drizzle, ethereal and beautiful. Wherever the rainwater passed, the space would become dark and gloomy, and the aura of life would disappear. The place would be filled with the silent smell of death. The illusory space-time storm, the collapse of the sun and moon, and the black chaotic hole were blocked outside. However, the sky and earth were being turned upside down, and the attacks were endless. Blind Crow had a hard time dealing with them.

"This Fairy Skill of Formation is so mysterious. If I practice it to the level of Fairy Skill of the Seventh or Eighth Level, I'm afraid that the space-time storms and black holes inside will become real. If I reach the level of Fairy Skill of the Ninth Level, the Boundless World will become real. At that time, my Fairy Skill of the Fairy Formation of Death Rain will not be able to compete with other Fairy Skills of the same level." After barely blocking the Yin and Yang Dust Formation with the Fairy Formation of Death Rain, the Crow sighed in his heart. He opened his mouth and a pitch-black skull flew out.

The skull had a creepy smile and a row of teeth as white as snow. It turned into a pitch-black sword light and slashed at the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. It was Blind Crow's Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasure, Nine Nether Thousand Filthy Sword, which was extremely Yin and filthy.

Mangshan Ghost Lord had only grown up after the Left Saint Emperor had disappeared. Ghosts advanced very slowly, and after more than 20,000 years of cultivation, he had yet to go through a Degeneration Tribulation. Moreover, he had never left the Nine Nether World, and the Paramita Boat could only bring back a limited number of things other than ghosts. Therefore, he was not rich. His subordinates, the Immortals of the Ghost Taoism, did not even have a Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Weapon. Because Blind Crow was his favorite disciple, he was given the Nine Nether Filthy Sword.

Moreover, although the interval between the Heavenly Tribulation and the Blight Tribulation was much longer than that of Immortals, it was more difficult. Few could advance. Therefore, the higher one went, the harder it was to obtain magic treasures and spiritual treasures.

An ordinary Three-tribulation Yang God Immortal might once have five or six illusory magic treasures, two or three One-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasures, and one or two Two-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasures. But for Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasures, except for those who had a profound background and could be bestowed one or two, or those who had been to many macro worlds and had rich experiences, they usually only had one Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Treasure.

As for Supreme Spiritual Treasures, before the Second Blight of the Deva, on average, each Immortal could barely have one. But from the Second Blight of the Deva, Supreme Spiritual Treasures were rarer than Immortals. Therefore, the higher one went, the more practitioners relied on their own Immortal Skills and Natal Spiritual Treasures. Even Secret Treasures were rarely used in battles because they were needed for passing the Blight Tribulation, rather than for attacking, defending, and other purposes. Usually, only one or two were used to save one's life.

As soon as the pitch-black sword light of the Nine Nether Myriad Filthy Sword appeared, the surrounding aura immediately became unbearably filthy and dense with the aura of death. Moreover, this roiling black aura of death contained countless concealed, sinister, and tiny sword lights that were like venomous snakes. At the same time, a long banner rose up behind the blind crow's head. It had a white long cloth as its base, and there were many strange-looking ghosts drawn on it. Forty-nine black jade bells hung around the long banner in an orderly manner. They swayed even though there was no wind, and they emitted melodious and pleasing sounds that were filled with tranquility, silence, and a feeling of sleep.

At the same time, the long white banner swayed, and a black light swept out. Inside was an illusory and ferocious ghost that wanted to tear apart one's Primordial Spirit. This was Blind Crow's Immortal Treasure, the "Fallen God Soul Mourning Banner". It was specialized in targeting the Primordial Spirit and Soul Body. It wasn't used for attacking or defending, so Blind Crow didn't use it immediately. Instead, he used the Nine Nether Thousand Filthy Sword to open the way.

But at this moment, the dark universe nearby darkened again. Purple stars and resplendent stars rose up once more, and the Minor Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation attacked again. Countless starry sword lights formed illusory trajectories and slashed over, sometimes forming white tigers and sometimes forming white rainbows. For the time being, they were equally matched with the Nine Nether Myriad Filthy Sword and the Death Rain Immortal Fusion Formation.

From the first attack of the Minor Heavenly Star Formation to the current situation, only one or two seconds had passed.

… …

Not only did Mo Gui's thoughts fail to completely recover from the suppression of the Taiji diagram when he faced the unstoppable violet sword light, he also seemed to be shocked by the presence of destruction and slaughter. He was bewitched by the vast and mysterious starry sky within the sword light. The circulation of his immortal art became sluggish as he stood where he was, not dodging at all.

However, his jade-green hands were raised naturally. Although it was still a little slow, he was able to block the purple sword light.

His hands became larger and larger. His skin retreated, revealing his flesh with bulging veins and arteries. Green light flowed on them, and the yin qi and corpse qi were almost tangible. The complicated Laws of Darkness, Death, and restrictions appeared in his flesh as well. Afterwards, he extended his hands upwards, actually grabbing the Zi Ying sword's light with his bare hands!

When his ten fingers tore through the air, they actually ripped open some of the space there, revealing gloomy nothingness.

Mo Gui had cleverly fused his lifebound treasure with his most powerful immortal art, creating a pair of 'Sky-ripping Ghost Hands'. They were also equivalent to peak Class 4 immortal arts. They were like treasures, but they were not, like immortal arts, but they were not. They were powerful and brutal, which was why his soul could recover half an instant earlier than his own soul, preventing him from being killed.

An illusionary space appeared on the Zi Ying sword. It flickered with multi-colored lightning as countless thunderclouds churned in the Primordial Thunderstorm Space. The power of the Primordial Thunderstorm Space bolstered the Zi Ying sword, greatly increasing its might.

At the same time, a small, jade-white seal appeared above Mo Gui. The four seals shone with endless white light, enveloping and locking down the surroundings before falling down like a mountain.

The violet sword light landed on the 'Sky-ripping Ghost Hands'. The yin qi and corpse qi on it were illuminated by the venerable Zi Ying Sword, causing them to recede into the surroundings. Meanwhile, the starry sky within the violet sword light revolved even faster and more profound. Many stars constantly appeared and exploded.

With a flash, the presence of destruction and slaughter fused with the sword Qi. The violet sword light became extremely sharp, forcefully cutting through the ten fingers of the ghost hands and landing on them.

The fingers and flesh that had been cut off wriggled as they recovered. Although the violet sword light continued to advance, it was slowed down. The peak Class 4 Sky-ripping Ghost Hands were not easy to deal with. If it were not for the fact that Mo Gui's soul had yet to recover, he would not have only been able to block it for an instant even if he could not fend off the combined power of the Pure Yang flying sword, the Supreme Sword Style, the Suiyu Mantra, and the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers of Heaven and Earth. Of course, it would be a different story if the Zi Ying Sword reached the peak of the Pure Yang realm.

Mo Gui's soul finally returned to normal with the Sky-ripping Ghost Hands. However, the mountainous Earth Cataclysm had already arrived above his head because the Sky-ripping Ghost Hands were suppressed by the Zi Ying Sword and had no other defences. The light from the seal shone on his niwan palace, making it impossible for him to dodge!

Before Mo Gui could even think of anything, a streak of blood-yellow light appeared on his body. It was about to light up.

However, at this moment, the Nirvana Bridge appeared once again and landed on Mo Gui's head. The golden lotus bloomed, and the earth, fire, wind, and water stopped. The surging chaos calmed down, and the speck of blood-yellow light stopped as well. It was about to light up.

It was Shi Xuan casting the Taiji diagram that he had retracted after suppressing the Sky-ripping Ghost Hands!

The Earth Cataclysm landed directly on Mo Gui's head. His adorable, big-headed face immediately turned purple, vicious, and had a gaping mouth. Afterwards, it shattered inch by inch under the Earth Cataclysm. Countless fragments of his soul flew in all directions, but they were blocked by the white light, preventing his soul from regenerating. As a result, he was crushed to smithereens along with his storage pouch.

At the same time, a streak of black and white light flew over. It radiated with a supreme suction force and sucked some of the fragments of the soul firmly onto the black portion. Afterwards, it retracted back into the Chaos Universe.

Only then did the blood-yellow light break free from the Nirvana Bridge's suppression. It completely lit up and enveloped the place where Mo Gui's body had been. It turned into a blood-yellow tributary of the Nether River that was filled with the intent of sinking and binding.

A stream of the Nether River surged into the sky, narrowly breaking through the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. However, Mo Gui's soul did not appear in there.

…

Shi Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief after activating the restriction of the Yin and Yang Dual Qi Bottle that had absorbed Mo Gui's soul fragments and trapped them in there to prevent anything from happening.

From the very beginning, Shi Xuan had never planned on dealing with the two of them at the same time. He had yet to cultivate his level-surpassing immortal techniques, and the Zi Ying Sword had only just evolved. No matter how arrogant Shi Xuan was, he was not bold enough to say that he could take on two Perfected Masters at the same level.

Although he had five Pure Yang Treasures of the Three Tribulations in addition to his Life Bound Treasure, the Taiji Diagram was unpredictable and indescribably profound, and he also had a formation-type immortal technique, a peerless sword technique, and an abode, Shi Xuan could only guarantee that he could take down one of them. After all, they also had Life Bound Treasures, Pure Yang Treasures of the Three Tribulations, powerful secret treasures, and immortal techniques. He could not underestimate them. If they worked together, he would probably have to return empty-handed.

Therefore, Shi Xuan had planned to isolate the two of them with a formation from the very beginning. He planned to use the double formation of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation and the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to keep one of them busy while attacking the other with all his might. He had to defeat the two of them before they could use all their techniques and work together.

As for who to choose, Shi Xuan had originally planned to choose randomly. However, after using the Void Illumination Mirror to illuminate the two, Shi Xuan immediately made up his mind. How could Shi Xuan not recognize such a unique appearance and aura?

Over the past month, Shi Xuan was not completely oblivious to what was going on outside. He had already found out about a few Ghostly Lords and some powerful Three Tribulation Perfected Masters. Otherwise, given how cautious Shi Xuan was, he would not have dared to come to Yin Mountain rashly without proper information.

Therefore, Shi Xuan recognized the two at a glance. They were Blind Crow and Ink Ghost, the two Three Tribulation Perfected Masters of the Ghost Dao.

Blind Crow was the Inner Disciple of Mangshan Ghostly Lord, and Ink Ghost was his right-hand man. It was obvious which one to choose.

Shi Xuan did not hold back at all. He even hid the Yin and Yang Chaotic Divine Light in the illusory black hole of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation as a backup. Finally, he took down Ink Ghost!

With one of the two powerful enemies gone, the pressure on Shi Xuan was greatly reduced. He turned all his attention to Blind Crow, ready to kill him before the effect of the Suiyu Mantra disappeared! Otherwise, after searching Ink Ghost's primordial spirit fragments, he would find that only Blind Crow, the disciple of Ghostly Lord, knew what he had overlooked. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?!

After recognizing that the two of them were two of the three Ghost Immortals who had brushed past him, Shi Shuan felt even more strange. If they had specially come to deal with him, they should have attacked at that time. If he was caught off guard, he was likely to be at a disadvantage. However, they only attacked after a period of time had passed by him. They should have the residual breath of his living body, or they simply imitated his living breath. Therefore, he was momentarily blinded by the breath of the Life and Death Transformation and immediately came to his senses.

Then where did the living breath come from? Where did they see him?

Moreover, there were three Perfected Masters at that time. Now there were only two. Shi Xuan could guess the whereabouts of the last one. After the signs of Ink Ghost's death were sensed, Mangshan Ghostly Lord should be rushing over. He was not a fool. At this time, he would still maintain his dignity and send his subordinates to their deaths.

Therefore, not only did he want to kill Blind Crow, but Blind Crow also wanted to entangle him. Now it was not a situation where anyone could leave if they wanted to. However, he had the upper hand in strength. If he really wanted to retreat, he had a 70% to 80% chance of success.

…

Blind Crow's original body was a ghost crow native to the Nine Nether World. He was very sensitive to the breath of death. When he used the Death Rain Immortal Fusion Formation, the Nine Nether Thousand Filth Sword, and other immortal skills to block the siege of Shi Xuan's Yin and Yang Dust Formation and the Minor Heavenly Stars Formation, his nose suddenly twitched and his heart was in turmoil. But he quickly suppressed the negative emotions of shock and fear. "Ink Ghost actually died in one or two seconds! He was fighting one against two. Even when he was distracted, he could still kill Ink Ghost so quickly. His strength and magic treasures are quite terrifying! "

With this understanding, Blind Crow would not hold back anymore. He raised his head and cawed. His whole body turned into a black crow with the size of a thousand feet. There were no feathers all over his body. He was completely condensed by the black breath of death. Only his eyes were still white.

After using the Ghost Crow Transformation, the Blind Crow's aura and strength skyrocketed. The spring drizzle from the Death Rain Immortal Fusion Formation immediately turned into a summer torrential downpour. Black water flowed down like a waterfall, completely blocking the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Formation's boundless starlight sword light. Whether it was the White Tiger or the Azure Dragon, they all began to melt and dissipate.

Then the black rain rippled in all directions. But after spreading for some distance, it was blocked by the purple-blue Vermilion Bird condensed by countless stars. The Death Rain Immortal Fusion Formation, which had been at a slight disadvantage just now, turned the tables and gained the upper hand.

At the same time, the black jade bell on the Fallen God Soul Mourning Banner rang more and more urgently and crisply, as if urging for death. The illusory sound that could not penetrate the isolation of the two formations sounded for the first time in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit. But the Taiji diagram turned into the Golden Nirvana Bridge to suppress it. The Tranquil Nature Lord of Dao and Virtue appeared and completely suppressed it, not causing any damage to his Primordial Spirit.

In comparison, the Nine Nether Myriad Filth Sword did not have an obvious improvement. It was blown by the space-time storm and the filthy breath of death dissipated bit by bit.

But Blind Crow's action was just to buy some time. Before Shi Xuan activated the Picture of Mountains and River of Heaven and Earth, continued to strengthen the Minor Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation, and once again used the Taiji Diagram, Blind Crow did not hesitate to take out a piece of black talisman paper even though he was reluctant to do so. Some words were scribbled on it. The scribbles did not look like words, but more like a green-faced evil spirit with two horns on its head.

As soon as the talisman paper was taken out, it flew up on its own and burned without any wind. A dark and deep hole appeared on the ground, and a huge green ghostly hand reached out and grabbed at Shi Xuan. Even though it did not contain the power of the Great Dao, the tyrannical breath of death and Yin Qi was enough to suppress the laws of heaven and earth. It was Blind Crow's life-saving fourth-level immortal talisman, the "Soul Subduing Talisman of Mount Mang Ghost Lord". Although it was fourth-level, it was close to fifth-level and had extraordinary power because he had asked for the help of his own master.

As soon as the huge green ghostly hand appeared, a layer of black gas naturally appeared around it, condensing into a vast black cloud. Many laws of darkness, death, and the Nine Nether appeared in it, and ferocious spirits were born from it, letting out shrill ghostly wails.

Wherever the ghostly claw went, the dark night sky, which was inlaid with stars, was torn apart by the claw. Starlight overflowed in all directions, bright and dazzling.

After the Minor Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation was broken, the ghostly hand faced the Chaotic Universe. Countless suns, moons, stars, black holes, space-time storms, and worlds exploded at the same time under Shi Xuan's will. Immediately, the universe collapsed, and a chaotic void expanded rapidly, enveloping the ghostly hand.

In the void, five huge green fingers suddenly pierced out, and then the ghostly hand reappeared, but it was much dimmer than before.

With this delay, a violet streak of light slashed out once again. Countless stars condensed into a vast starry sky, rising and falling in a profound trajectory. It radiated with an aura of destruction and slaughter. An illusionary world of lightning appeared above it, supported by strands of the power of the world.

A golden bridge that seemed to be able to take all living beings to the other shore suddenly appeared, suppressing the ghostly hand and the vast black cloud beneath it. It froze Blind Crow's Deathrain Immortal Fusion Formation.

However, the ghostly hand only moved slightly, breaking free from the suppressive force. It grabbed at the Zi Ying Sword that slashed over relentlessly. The starlight was obliterated, and the stars fell one after another. The sharp sword left behind countless deep marks on the ghostly hand before it was knocked back.

The ghostly hand had already dimmed, and its presence was no longer at the peak of Class 4. When it tried to grab at the Five-colored Dustsweeping Bell, it was countered by the five-colored light, disappearing silently.

After expending a tremendous amount of effort, Shi Xuan finally managed to block the Soul Subjugation Talisman. However, at this moment, the Nine Hells Myriad Filth Sword, the Deathrain Immortal Fusion Formation, and the Fallen God Mourning Banner had already arrived before him. To make matters worse, a terrifying presence that could shake the world was rapidly approaching him.

Black-and-white light flew out, absorbing the power of the Fallen God Mourning Banner's soul. The jade-white Earth Cavern Seal appeared on Shi Xuan's chest, directly imprinting itself on the pitch-black light of the Nine Hells Myriad Filth Sword. The gloomy Primordial Universe appeared once again, catching the Deathrain Immortal Fusion Formation.

Although this attack had blocked many of Blind Crow's attacks, Shi Xuan was still sent flying. Disregarding it, a pair of wings, one green and one purple, grew out from his back. With a gentle flap, he continued to retreat. The few treasures outside also followed and burrowed into his Primordial Spirit.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was sent flying, his Primordial Spirit shaken, unable to block his following attack, Blind Crow was secretly delighted. However, when he struck out with the Thousand Ghosts Soul Locking Technique, he exclaimed in surprise, "The direction he's flying in?!"

The terrifying presence had just arrived outside the Yin Mountain's crypt, but just like before, a green ghostly claw that was reinforced by the power of the Great Dao of Death and Extreme Yin appeared out of thin air, suppressing the entire depths of the crypt and causing it to darken.

The place where Shi Xuan was sent flying was behind the fault in the depths of the crypt, where the Lesser Chiliocosm was layered, twisted, and distorted, and the space-time fog pervaded the space.

The moment he fell into the white space-time fog, the green ghostly claw was just about to grab him, but it could no longer lock onto Shi Xuan's presence. It could only scratch aimlessly for a while without any results. As for the Thousand Ghosts Soul Locking Technique, it was even slower.
