In Fang Chen's body, within the Soul Sea.
The Super Soul Pill, refined from a strand of Lu Haotian's True Soul, still has nearly one-third remaining. It is this remaining portion of the Super Soul Pill that contains the Soul Power of a Nirvana Realm expert, enough for Fang Chen to unleash the Forbidden Soul Technique. This is a terrifying soul technique that Lu Haotian created after reaching the Daoist Master Realm!
"The Forbidden Soul Technique of the Daoist Master Realm should be enough to eliminate all six of them," Fang Chen murmured. This was an extremely powerful life-saving trump card he obtained after experiencing Lu Haotian's memories. With it, even when facing an unparalleled existence in the Daoist Master Realm, Fang Chen would have a slim chance of survival and could escape. Against any martial artist below the Daoist Master Realm, it would be a guaranteed kill.
However, with only one-third of the True Soul power remaining, Fang Chen could barely use this Forbidden Soul Technique once; after that, all this True Soul power would dissipate.
"How infuriating." Fang Chen gritted his teeth, a trace of bloodshot in his dark eyes. If there were any possibility, he would not use this Forbidden Soul Technique. Having such a powerful life-saving trump card is like having an extra life; using it once means it's gone. Moreover, if a Body Refinement Realm martial artist suddenly wiped out a group of Heavenly Realm experts, how shocking would that news be if it spread?
This incident occurred right in front of the Ziyang Sect. Even if Fang Chen eliminated everyone present, he clearly could not escape the Ziyang Sect's perception. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to eradicate everyone here; at that time, he would probably never have peace again. Until his strength had fully grown, he would have to live like a rat crossing the street, hiding and trembling in fear. Even so, due to this huge upheaval, it might even bring disaster to the Fang Family in Fengyan City. This was something Fang Chen did not want to see and found hard to accept.
However, now facing the murderous intent of six Heavenly Realm experts, he had no better options left.
Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly, a strong aura of violence surging within him.
"Six Heavenly Realm experts, existing like grand elders or vice sect masters within their sects, actually resorting to using a junior to pressure and test you—how far you have fallen!" As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and on the verge of exploding while locking onto Chu Fangtian and his five companions, Luo Qingyan suddenly said with a cold smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the six people who were about to strike showed obvious changes in their expressions.
"Enough nonsense; you can still withdraw now. Otherwise, we might have to join forces and experience your methods as the so-called Heavenly Pride among all disciples in Colorful Sacred Sect," Chu Fangtian said coldly.
The mention of "highest talent in Colorful Sacred Sect" caused a slight change in expression among the five surrounding Chu Fangtian as they looked at Luo Qingyan with an added hint of vigilance.
"Joining forces is fine; you still need to find excuses for it. Truly worthy of you, Chu Fangtian; no wonder after so many years you still haven't grasped even a hint of Great Dao Power," Luo Qingyan mocked.
Faced with Luo Qingyan's mockery, Chu Fangtian's face twitched slightly, and he let out a few dry laughs, his expression flickering with a cold light. His gaze fell on Luo Qingyan's graceful figure as he grinned and said, "Whether I can comprehend the Great Dao Power is not something you need to worry about. However, right now..."
Chu Fangtian paused for a moment before sneering, "If you insist on obstructing us, then if something happens later, even Master Meng probably won't blame us."
The moment the name "Master Meng" was mentioned, Chu Fangtian's eyes fixed intently on Luo Qingyan, as if trying to discern something from her face.
"You can go and tell your master that yourself when the time comes," Luo Qingyan replied coldly, her expression unchanged as she sneered.
As she spoke, the aura around Luo Qingyan continued to condense, and the void beneath her feet began to shatter bit by bit. The Heavenly River, formed from the Great Dao Power, slowly flowed out from within. Standing on the Heavenly River, Luo Qingyan's aura surged once more.
"If you want to fight, then fight; if not, get lost. Why waste words?" Despite facing five opponents alone and being at such a disadvantage in strength, Luo Qingyan remained incredibly assertive, as if relying on something.
In the face of such a formidable Luo Qingyan, Liu Dong and the others exchanged glances of surprise. Originally ready to strike, they hesitated at this moment, their eyes subtly scanning the Ziyang Sect shrouded in mist behind them. The five of them were filled with deep apprehension.
Seeing the hesitant expressions of Liu Dong and his group, Chu Fangtian's complexion changed slightly as he said solemnly, "Don't be intimidated by her. If Master Meng were truly unharmed, he would have appeared by now. Moreover, among the Seven Lords of the Hall, Master Meng is the oldest; he might have already exhausted his lifespan and turned to ashes."
"Brother Chu makes a valid point. With Master Meng's temperament, if he were still here, he would have intervened by now and wouldn't allow us to cause a ruckus here," Liu Dong chuckled lightly. He then glanced at the others and added, "Isn't our purpose for coming here to find out whether Master Meng is still around? Now that we are blocked by this Luo Qingyan outside Ziyang Sect, what does that even mean?"
"Let's join forces to drive her back first; then we can investigate Ziyang Sect. If Master Meng is truly gone, then Ziyang Sect should hand over that item," said a cold-faced middle-aged man holding a sword.
"Agreed," the others nodded.
"Luo Qingyan, it's not too late to leave now," Chu Fangtian sneered.
Though he said this, his demeanor showed no intention of letting Luo Qingyan leave. He rapidly changed his hand seals, causing towering volcanic projections to burst forth from the void. The temperature in mid-air surged dramatically at that moment.
Three, two, one—three volcanic projections surrounded Luo Qingyan, blocking her path. An unparalleled wave of intense heat surged forth from within.
"Lava Quicksand!" Chu Fangtian shouted, his hand forming a seal once more.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A spray of golden-red gravel erupted from the three volcanic projections, quickly transforming in mid-air into a vast golden-red net, seemingly intent on ensnaring Luo Qingyan. At the same time, the three volcanoes trembled continuously, a powerful aura brewing within them, as if they were about to erupt completely at any moment.
Chu Fangtian launched a lethal strike right away.
"Golden Stone Path," the middle-aged man with the sword suddenly spoke calmly.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and instantly appeared beside Luo Qingyan, who was trapped within the three volcanic projections, extending his sword towards her.
The speed of the sword thrust was not fast; it seemed unremarkable, like a casual attempt from a beginner. However, to Luo Qingyan, this strike evoked an overwhelming sense of inevitability, as if the entire world was pressing down upon her.
"No escaping!" Luo Qingyan gazed at the glimmering tip of the sword that shone like brilliant gold. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious expression suddenly appeared on her cool face.
"Golden Stone Path; you have indeed comprehended Great Dao Power," Luo Qingyan said softly.
"It's only a preliminary understanding; I haven't reached the level of Transformation of the Great Dao. I can't compare to you," the middle-aged man replied. As he spoke, the sword imbued with Golden Stone Path continued its relentless advance toward Luo Qingyan with an extremely severe aura.
Golden Stone Path was inherently a form of Great Dao Power with formidable offensive capabilities. Coupled with the fact that the middle-aged man was a swordsman, his attack was terrifyingly powerful. Even standing on Heavenly River and protected by Great Dao Power, Luo Qingyan couldn't help but furrow her brows.
"Give up," came a soft sigh. The Elder in Robe, with a sympathetic expression on his face, gently pointed at the ground beneath Luo Qingyan's feet.
Boom!
A brownish-yellow light suddenly brightened in mid-air, and then a piece of land that seemed to materialize appeared beneath Luo Qingyan's feet. At the moment this land emerged, the Heavenly River beneath her feet began to surge violently, with strands of brownish-yellow gas suddenly pouring into the Heavenly River, spreading out like ink dropped into clear water.
The originally pure blue Heavenly River became mixed at this moment. Two different auras clashed within the Heavenly River. The Heavenly River, transformed by Great Dao Power, weakened significantly in just a few breaths.
"Path of the Thick Earth!" Luo Qingyan's expression changed as her cold gaze suddenly turned towards the Elder in Robe, her voice icy: "I didn't expect you to have comprehended the Path of the Thick Earth. No wonder you six dared to come provoke my Ziyang Sect."
With a powerful strike from a middle-aged man infused with Golden Stone Path approaching her and the interference of the Elder in Robe's Thick Earth power affecting her Great Dao Power, along with Chu Fangtian and his four companions lurking nearby, ready to strike at any moment, Luo Qingyan found herself in an extremely perilous situation!
"A bunch of old fools!" Watching the scene unfold in the sky, Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly, his originally dark eyes now filled with blood. Even though he was determined, he felt powerless against such a clash at this level. The only thing he could do was... a terrifying wave of energy at the soul level began to gradually spread from him, unnoticed by anyone.
Although he was reluctant to take the enormous risks and potential repercussions of using the Forbidden Soul Technique, Fang Chen was even less willing to see Luo Qingyan severely injured or killed because of him at the hands of Chu Fangtian and his six companions.
"Back then at Colorful Sacred Sect, how proud Luo Qingyan was; I didn't expect her to end up like this today. She still wants to protect that ungrateful kid while she can't even save herself. Heh." Chu Fangtian sneered, his gaze sweeping over Ziyang Sect behind Luo Qingyan, suddenly flashing with a fierce light: "Without a Daoist Master Realm expert, Ziyang Sect is practically nonexistent; it will definitely be unable to protect that thing. It would be better..."
"Better to give it to you?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.
