What Zhang Yu saw was a long scroll floating there. Rings of golden talismans flickered around it, and there was also a red treasure ribbon that firmly bound it. The scroll was completely immersed in a bright treasure light.
He could tell with a single glance that the truly powerful part of this item was not its appearance, but the precious material used to refine it. It was a type of leaf similar to the Ipal Divine Tree.
He guessed that it was very likely to have come from some kind of plant life during the Desolation Era.
According to the ancient legends of this world, this kind of thing only existed at that time. After the change of the Dao, this kind of thing became rarer and rarer. Most of them were either killed or plundered, or had already disappeared.
What was interesting was that although only Daoist Wei's aura was still attached to it, he discovered that there had been more than one strand of divine aura attached to the scroll. He could still find some remnants on it.
However, there was a problem. Logically speaking, as long as divine aura was attached to this "divine item", it would reach the level where the real and the false coexisted. Cultivators wouldn't die because of this. If they really did die, then they would have died, and there wouldn't be any remnant aura left on it.
Then, if there wasn't a problem with the Dao of these cultivators, then there was a problem with the magic artifact itself.
He suddenly thought of the cultivator who had been suppressed under the capital of Light. He had once said that many of the upper realm cultivators of the various sects had disappeared. Could it be related to this situation?
His thoughts spun. He felt that there was definitely some kind of mystery behind this. However, he could investigate it later. For now, he had to deal with the matter at hand.
The scroll seemed to have sensed his thoughts. The treasured light wrapped around it suddenly burst forth. In an instant, it expanded greatly as if it was trying to protect itself.
However, it was useless. This place was far inferior to the place where the cultivators of Tianxia resided. Even if a cultivator of Tianxia were to break in, they would have no chance to retaliate.
With a command from Chen Xi, a strand of brilliant sword light flickered. In just a flash, it slashed off the strand of divine energy that Daoist Wei had attached to the sword, and it didn't harm the sword at all.
After the wisp of Divine Qi left, it tried to return to the magic artifact. However, the sword light turned again and easily destroyed it.
Generally speaking, it was useless to destroy the Divine Qi of cultivators who had plucked the fruit of coexistence between the real and the void. Regardless of whether it was the body or the Divine Qi, as long as one part of the body existed, the other part could be recreated quickly. Therefore, it was necessary to destroy both parts at the same time to have a chance of exterminating the cultivator.
However, Daoist Wei was not like this. This person was relying on something, so there was no need for him to do this. He only needed to sever this strand of divine energy.
After doing this, he memorized the location of this Sustenance, and his aura withdrew from it.
At this moment, Daoist Wei was originally about to utilize the method of escape that he'd prepared beforehand, but he suddenly noticed that a portion of his spirit energy had been severed, and his expression couldn't help but change abruptly.
His surging aura fell uncontrollably. Not only that, but his own Fa Li was also affected as a result, causing him to be unable to use his Fa Li normally.
Old Daoist Lin immediately noticed this. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain that Daoist Wei had suffered a great loss. His eyes flashed, and he took advantage of the moment Daoist Wei's mind was in turmoil to use a divine ability on him.
When such an evil method entered one's mind, it could immediately change one's perception and make them listen to someone else's orders. He didn't expect to be able to immediately restrain Daoist Wei's soul, but he could probably make Daoist Wei fall into a daze for a moment. Once Daoist Wei revealed an opening, it would be easy to deal with.
Although Daoist Wei had been restricted in all aspects when he faced off against Zhang Yu, he was not so passive against Old Daoist Lin. When Old Daoist Lin's divine ability invaded his mind, his Fa Li circulated on its own, drawing out the countermeasure he'd prepared in his mind in an attempt to neutralize the technique.
However, an unforeseen event occurred at this moment. Due to the spirit he'd entrusted himself with being severed, his aura was weak, causing his Fa Li to become unstable. He was unable to completely stop the technique, and a strand of aura invaded his mind, causing his soul to tremble.
Old Daoist Lin was not an ordinary person. He immediately took advantage of this momentary lapse. A ball of red mist came and slammed into his body. At the moment of contact, a large amount of essence blood and vitality in his body was forcibly refined.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. Relying on the fact that his mana was more powerful than Master Lin's, he was able to expel these intrusions in the blink of an eye. Not only did he manage to do this, he even used the moment when the two's Qi came into contact with each other to control the spell with his heart and use a counterattack technique.
Old Daoist Lin couldn't help but be shocked. For the sake of avoiding injury to his soul, he had no choice but to stop his subsequent attacks. However, when he did this just now, he noticed to his horror that right at this moment, a few jade awls suddenly flew towards him, and it seemed like he couldn't avoid them. Right when he was trying to forcefully circulate his Fa Li to protect himself, he saw those jade awls stop halfway, and they were obstructed by a layer of violet qi.
However, even though he'd avoided them this time, it allowed him to clearly see that if it wasn't for Zhang Yu, then the scene of his Soul Core being obliterated would probably repeat itself.
Even if he wouldn't die here, he would definitely withdraw from the battle temporarily. Not to mention anything else, just the grand formation outside would be unmanned during this period of time, and it might allow Old Daoist Lin to escape.
It was also because of this that he didn't want to interfere in the battle between the two of them any longer. That would probably cause Zhang Yu to use extra strength to protect himself instead, so it was better to find an opportunity to heavily injure Daoist Wei. When he thought up to here, he formed a seal solemnly, causing a layer of crimson light to appear behind him, and then a blurry figure faintly appeared within it.
Daoist Wei's expression was completely solemn. His qi of sustenance had been severed, so he'd lost his greatest trump card. Once he failed, then he would definitely perish.
However, he was unable to find any opportunity to break through. It wasn't that he didn't possess any other Magic Tools, but the jade awl was the most offensive. However, even it was unable to break through Zhang Yu's violet qi barrier, so he was naturally unable to do anything else.
He tried a few more tricks, but they were all easily blocked by Zhang Yu. At the same time, he sensed Old Daoist Lin's movements. The faintly dangerous aura made his heart tremble.
In the end, Old Taoist Lin was at the same level as him. It wasn't that Old Taoist Lin didn't have the ability to threaten him. It was just that when Old Taoist Lin fought against him, most of his supernatural powers were blocked by Old Taoist Lin before he could use them. However, once some of his killing moves were used, Old Taoist Lin might not be able to withstand them. Without his divine Qi, Old Taoist Lin wouldn't have the chance to start over.
Because of this, he was extremely resolute. Since he couldn't leave, then he might as well risk his life. With a flash of thought in his mind, the vital energy on his body suddenly revolved and completely shrunk back.
This was a method of exploding one's soul to take the enemy down with him. However, he had a way to change this technique halfway. If Zhang Yu and Old Taoist Lin were intimidated and retreated, then he could take advantage of the situation to change it into a teleportation technique. In that way, he would be able to charge out and win a path of survival.
However, if they didn't retreat, then he wouldn't stop either. Even if he couldn't kill them, he could destroy their bodies so that they wouldn't be able to return to the world for a short period of time.
Since the beginning of the battle, Zhang Yu was clearly aware of every single change in Old Taoist Lin's aura. When he saw the changes in Old Taoist Lin's aura, he immediately knew what Old Taoist Lin was planning. His eyes flashed as he used a Phantom Slash. In an instant, it shone into Old Taoist Lin's mind. Old Taoist Lin's aura couldn't help but stagnate, and he fell into a daze.
Old Taoist Lin had been waiting for an opportunity. At this moment, he didn't need Zhang Yu's help at all. He shouted loudly and immediately offered up his soul while the blurry blood red light behind him transformed into his appearance. It swiftly flew forward and charged into Old Taoist Lin's body!
Old Taoist Lin couldn't help but take a few steps back from the impact. He seemed to have realized something and suddenly raised his head to glance at Old Taoist Lin. The latter merely sneered at him.
He glanced at Zhang Yu and asked, "What's that?"
Zhang Yu knew what he was asking about. Old Taoist Lin had only placed his soul on the scroll, but he was unable to discern what it was. He said, "It should be an artifact refined by a predecessor."
Old Taoist Lin nodded and suddenly relaxed. In the blink of an eye, his entire body melted like wax. First, the skin, flesh, and bones on his face softened and melted into one place. Then, his body also collapsed and slowly disappeared. In the end, his entire body turned into a cloud of white smoke, leaving behind only a piece of clothing.
Old Taoist Lin took a few steps forward and waved his sleeve, turning the clothing into ashes. He then made a few calculations and saw that Old Taoist Lin's aura was completely cut off. Only then did he relax.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He glanced outside and revealed a strange expression. He sensed that the creator who left King Xi's side had used some unknown method to charge out of the formation outside.
He didn't intend to chase after him. After all, it was only a creator. Moreover, he couldn't hide what he had done this time, so if he left, then so be it.
Right now, he had more important things to do.
He turned to Zhang Yu and revealed a smile. He bowed and said, "Fellow Taoist, thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid it would've been difficult for me to get rid of King Xi and his subordinates. "
As he spoke, a layer of red mist slowly spread above the royal boat and gradually enveloped it. The spiritual energy on the royal boat was being devoured bit by bit by the power of the formation.
At this moment, Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Elder Lin, are you going to make a move now?"
Old Taoist Lin chuckled and said leisurely, "As expected, Fellow Taoist saw through it long ago. However, Fellow Taoist, you're too arrogant. You shouldn't have come here." He suddenly thought of something and asked, "That's right, may I ask, what did Old Taoist Lin ask you about?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "This isn't something you can understand."
Old Taoist Lin nodded and a red light flashed through his eyes. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Taoist will tell me later." With a shift of his Qi, the red mist around him suddenly surged. Just as it was about to press down, a sharp sword light flashed past. His expression didn't change, but his head was already flying.
