Chapter 375 Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
That layer of brownish-yellow power not only isolated his supernatural abilities, but also seemed to be eroding his soul and will.
The brownish-brown ripples on his body grew stronger and stronger, layer upon layer, making soft "crackling" sounds, as if his body was turning into real rock.
What alarmed him even more was that this power was penetrating through his skin, seeping into his meridians and internal organs.
Kudu quickly looked inward and saw that the golden essence that had been flowing like golden lava within his body had now slowed down considerably. A few yellowish-brown impurities had appeared in the golden liquid, causing it to gradually become somewhat sluggish.
The golden essence was the foundation of his cultivation. Once it was completely solidified, he would truly become a lifeless stone statue!
"The innate talent of the Human-Dragon Clan is petrification!"
The thought flashed through Kudu's mind, his face first turned deathly pale, then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
He knew that once this kind of innate supernatural power hit him, there was almost no way to counter it; he could only rely on his own innate strength to withstand it.
Although he recognized the powerful divine ability, he couldn't escape it. From the moment that gaze locked onto him, the outcome was already decided: either he would fight it or he would die.
The attacks from outside are no longer important!
He made a decisive decision in his heart, without any further hesitation.
He instantly severed his spiritual connection with the giant Vajra hand in the air.
The once imposing hand suddenly froze, its golden light dimmed rapidly, and it was also enveloped by a layer of petrifying power, turning into a huge, gray stone hand that slowly fell from the sky.
Abandoning this mentally taxing supernatural power, Kudu withdrew all his will into his body and could only mobilize the power of the Golden Crystal Marrow within his body with all his might, as if mobilizing a thousand troops, to repeatedly attack the earth-yellow power that had invaded his body, trying his best to resist the ever-deepening petrification power.
On the other side, seeing the Vajra hand out of her control, the human-faced dragon breathed a sigh of relief, her taut snake body slightly relaxing as she hissed contentedly. The enormous, diamond-like hand was now uncontrolled and posed no threat to her.
Her enormous snake body vibrated with countless palm-sized brown scales, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.
The scales were arranged in a strange array, and an invisible force of attrition emanated from the array, enveloping the falling stone hand.
Under the eroding force, the hard stone hand began to peel away and turn into dust. He gradually weakened it by relying on his innate scale array.
The human-faced dragon calmly dealt with the stone hand, while Zi Guang playfully glanced at Ku Du. Ku Du was completely enveloped in a thick layer of petrifying light, turning into a humanoid statue with his face blurred beyond recognition.
As the petrification deepened, the brownish-yellow sheen on the surface almost solidified into a substantial rock crust.
The human-faced dragon also revealed a smile, pondering in his heart how to craft this rare near-fifth-order Buddhist stone statue, which was an excellent material for refining weapons.
The next moment, her smile froze.
A sudden change has occurred!
Without warning, an extremely intense golden light suddenly burst forth from the petrified body of the other party!
The light was no longer the gentle Buddha light of before, but carried a domineering and sharp power that could burn everything, as if a sun was about to explode inside the rock!
Blinding golden light burst forth from the cracks in the rock shell, and even the petrified light on its surface could not completely block it, illuminating it completely.
This is?
The human-faced dragon was startled, instinctively feeling that the petrification technique it had unleashed was under immense pressure from within, like a balloon being constantly inflated and about to burst open.
Her expression changed slightly, and a storm raged in her heart: "How is this possible?! Even a near-fifth-tier demon king would be suppressed for a long time if he took a direct hit from my petrification technique. How could a human cultivator possibly resist it?"
This monk's primordial power is even purer and more profound than I imagined!
We can't give him another chance!
The next moment, her expression hardened, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes. The enormous snake tail ignored the broken stone hand and suddenly sprang up from the ground, like a black mountain range that came to life, rapidly moving through the air and creating a sharp whooshing sound.
At the end of the snake's tail, extremely complex blood-red runes were drawn in the air, each rune exuding an aura of ominousness and destruction.
An extremely powerful magical fluctuation gathered as the runes took shape, distorting the air itself and locking onto the monk Kudu, who had already transformed into a golden cocoon of light.
The two immediately unleashed their ultimate moves, and now they were fighting with all their might, ready to risk everything.
Just at this time.
A hundred miles away, at that boundary where yin and yang, black and white are clearly distinguished, a completely different scene unfolds.
The spiritual energy here is clearly distinct, forming a distorted band of light at the boundary, dividing heaven and earth.
Two young men were already standing outside, calmly gazing at this wondrous place.
One of them was Ji Wuchen, his expression focused, a black and white, ever-changing second-tribulation spiritual treasure on his wrist—the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring. At this moment, this spiritual treasure was emitting a deep hum, echoing the Yin-Yang Realm ahead.
Ji Wuchen's magical power was no longer being held back, and like a flood bursting its banks, it was surging wildly towards the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring.
An unnatural flush appeared on his fair cheeks, clearly indicating that this stimulation was a considerable burden for him.
After absorbing a massive amount of magical power, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring emitted Yin-Yang energy, forming a visible black and white vortex. Its power fluctuations far exceeded the level he had previously demonstrated in the cultivators' group in the Great Green Cultivation World.
This is his true strength!
The other person was dressed as a bald monk, which was Chen Yi in disguise.
He stood with his hands clasped together and his eyes lowered, like a true meditating monk, seemingly oblivious to the astonishing magical power fluctuations emanating from Ji Wuchen a hundred feet away.
He didn't speak to Ji Wuchen, or even exchange a glance with him.
But the two had a tacit understanding.
One of them was responsible for breaking through the impasse, and the other was responsible for rushing in to seize the treasure the moment the passage opened.
Although they did not communicate, Chen Yi and Ji Wuchen each knew what they were going to do.
Chen Yi appeared calm, but in reality, his energy and spirit had been concentrated to the peak, just waiting for Ji Wuchen to create that fleeting opportunity for him.
The time has come!
Ji Wuchen let out a low shout in his heart.
He had been using his divine sense to remotely perceive the battlefield a hundred miles away.
Just as the human-faced dragon used its petrification ability to petrify and envelop Kudu, and Kudu unleashed its primal power to resist, the two were frantically battling with their primal abilities and were briefly locked in a stalemate when Ji Wuchen made his move!
He suddenly raised his hand and poured all the magical power he had pushed to its limit into it.
The black and white yin-yang magnetic ring in his hand, which was spinning rapidly, suddenly stopped and then expanded outward!
hum!
A deafening buzzing sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring erupted with a black and white magnetic divine light as thick as a water bucket, comparable to the full-force attack of a peak fourth-tier expert.
This divine light, intertwined in black and white, rippled through the space wherever it passed, carrying an unparalleled power to separate yin and yang and reverse the universe, shooting directly towards the yin-yang boundary in front of it.
boom!
The black and white magnetic divine light precisely struck the boundary line between Yin and Yang energies.
The Yin-Yang boundary that the people of the Great Green Cultivation Realm, including Ku Du, had previously tried to completely separate using various methods, including powerful magic treasures and exquisite formations, was now being torn in two by Ji Wuchen's fluctuations containing the origin of the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Ring. It made a tearing sound like cloth being torn apart.
The violent yin and yang energies were forcibly pushed to either side by an irresistible force.
Yin returned to Yin, Yang returned to Yang, black and white were clearly distinguished, and a vacuum channel about ten feet wide was forcibly carved out in the middle.
A straight path was thus exposed, pointing directly to the very core, where the two Yin-Yang black and white Xuan Shen ginsengs, radiating a strange aura, embraced each other.
"Now's the time, quick!"
After the attack, Ji Wuchen's face turned three degrees paler instantly. Maintaining this passage was extremely taxing on him. He hurriedly whispered to Chen Yi beside him, his voice carrying a hint of suppressed panting.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi, who had been standing still, suddenly opened his eyes!
A glint flashed in his eyes, and without any hesitation, he instantly transformed into a dazzling golden light, condensed to its extreme. Like a golden cannonball released from a bow, he shot straight into the black and white Yin-Yang realm where a passage had been opened, with unwavering determination!
This is your only chance!
The moment he stepped inside, he felt as if he had fallen into a world made of millstones.
Endless black and white domain power surged inward from all directions, a pure domain power that disregarded reason and judged only life and death.
To the left is pure black that devours all light, exuding a chilling aura.
On the right is the blazing white that burns everything, steaming with the scorching heat of the soul.
Above and below, black and white energies intertwined, transforming into scissors, ready to cut the intruder in two.
Upon entering this environment, Chen Yi immediately felt as if the Five Elements power flowing within his body had been frozen, becoming extremely sluggish. The Xuan Yin power that he usually relied on was instantly assimilated like a stream flowing into a great river in the face of this pure Yin-Yang origin, rendering it completely useless.
"Crunch—crunch—"
A harsh, grinding sound came from his body; it was the sound of black and white forces grinding against his flesh.
If it weren't for his already mastered body refinement, making his physical body as powerful as a magic weapon, he would probably have been crushed into mincemeat by this terrifying squeezing force the moment he stepped in.
The power of the golden crystal spontaneously protected its master, and a layer of golden light covered the body.
The power of the lightning crystal also moved accordingly, with fine arcs of electricity leaping on the outer layer of the golden light, making crackling sounds.
The defense formed by the intertwining of golden light and electric arcs was compressed to the point of clinging to the skin under the crushing force of this black and white realm, flickering and seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.
Even if he pushed all his defenses to the limit, he could only barely gain a foothold here.
Every step forward felt like carrying a mountain through mud, incredibly exhausting and arduous.
His target, the black and white Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng located at the core of this realm, exuding an alluring Dao essence, was still hundreds of feet away.
It floats quietly at the center where black and white energies meet, with two tendrils, one black and one white, connected end to end, like a perfect yin-yang symbol. With each breath, it makes the surrounding dimensional power even more concentrated.
Chen Yi instantly understood why Xuan Hui and Yuan Lingling, who were also skilled in body refinement, had been lingering at the edge of this realm.
This overwhelming force of pure primal power is something that ordinary body-refining cultivators simply cannot withstand.
If I were in the crowd, I probably would have given up by now and sought another way.
But not now.
There were only him and Ji Wuchen here, while the two menacing figures outside could decide a battle at any moment.
time does not wait.
We must get our hands on this black and white ginseng before they return!
Chen Yi's mind raced, and a very direct thought came to mind.
Within his soul, there was originally a black and white yin and yang divine soul origin, which was of the same origin as the power of this place.
If this power is released and integrated into this Yin-Yang realm, it might be possible to temporarily gain control of this place and thus easily seize the Xuan Shen.
This is the safest and fastest way.
But just as he was about to use this trump card, a thought flashed through his mind without warning.
He recalled the scene he had just witnessed outside, which he had observed using his ability to sense the heavens and earth and his penetrating spiritual eye.
The old monk was taught how to manipulate the power of the golden crystal within his body.
It's not just a simple accumulation of power, but a kind of structure, a kind of rhythm.
A profound method that can concentrate scattered forces into one and produce a qualitative change.
Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.
Chen Yi changed the hand seal he was forming.
Instead of mobilizing his spiritual power, he focused all his attention on his body, precisely controlling the two thousand strands of golden crystal marrow hidden in his flesh and meridians.
Before this, although the two thousand strands of golden crystal marrow were powerful, they were like a pile of loose sand in his body, simply piled together, providing power by quantity and quality.
Their power is violent and uncontrollable, constantly putting a tearing burden on his meridians.
But now, Chen Yi is starting to try to change all of that.
imitate.
His divine sense transformed into countless invisible hands, beginning to reconstruct those strands of golden crystal marrow according to the arrangement within Kudu's body that he remembered.
This is an incredibly meticulous and difficult process.
The position of each strand of golden crystal marrow, the distance between them, and the angle of twist must be precise to the last detail.
Gradually, a completely new order was born within him.
The two thousand strands of golden crystal marrow were no longer chaotic individuals; they began to slowly... according to a strange spiral structure.
They are arranged in an orderly fashion, connected end to end, echoing each other.
When the first set of spiral structures took shape, Chen Yi clearly felt that the original violent tearing force was cleverly neutralized and canceled out by the structure itself.
He felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his meridians.
