Divine Soul Tree Seed

As the divine power was activated, the six black-gold talismans emitted a strange, inverted, and contradictory power. They first formed a circle, and then a deep and unfathomable distorted aura formed within the circle. Dark and Hundun, like a black hole, it rapidly swept towards Si Ming, devouring everything in its path.

"Annoying guy."

Disturbed repeatedly at crucial moments, Si Ming grew impatient. He immediately activated the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, doubling his power. He lowered his shoulders and raised his arms, unleashing a Mighty Vajra Fist, as majestic and imposing as a mountain peak descending from the heavens, with immense force, resolutely hurtling towards the center of the black hole.

Under the crushing force of the powerful divine power, the distorted force field in the black hole collapsed one after another, just like throwing a piece of tungsten steel into a juicer and breaking the machine. The Seal Talisman Master coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura immediately became weak.

Because of this delay, Fuzang and Diwen had already completed most of their ultimate moves. However, if Si Ming wanted to interrupt, it would still be in time. The two made a decisive decision and did not insist on pushing their Cultivation Body to the limit, turning their ultimate moves into their final moves.

"Nirvana Tranquility Seal!"

The Fuzang treasure was revealed by Law Seals of Buddhist School, and instantly the world became silent and peaceful, free from all thoughts, and one experienced constant bliss, self, and purity.

Si Ming's movements faltered, as his killing intent was dispelled by the Nirvana Tranquility Seal, causing him to lose his fighting spirit and extinguish his ferocity. For a moment, he did not want to fight anyone.

Taking advantage of the moment, Diwen a blade with his palms, and the surrounding air surged and converged to form an unparalleled blade. With a single swing, the blade's light curved like the moon, dazzling and beautiful, yet concealing deadly danger.

"The Netherworld-Penetrating Saber!"

This strike contained unparalleled demonic power, transforming decay into wonder. It was as if an incomparably evil demon was hiding within the blade's light, silently watching Si Ming, fueling his desires, and then pinpointing his location. No matter where he fled to, he could not escape this deadly strike.

The Buddha Seal and the Demon Blade, one clearing away distracting thoughts and the other fostering desires, seem to be in conflict, but in reality, they are not. The Buddha Seal first clears all thoughts from Si Ming's mind, emptying his consciousness and relaxing his defenses. Then, the Demon Blade takes advantage of the situation and stuffs a large number of demonic thoughts into his sea of consciousness, causing his spiritual platform to lose its defenses, illusions to arise, and his True Qi to scatter in his meridians and acupoints, making it difficult to gather.

If Spirit Transformation cultivator were to concentrate and be on guard, the demonic nature of the demonic blade would at most cause some disturbance, and it would be extremely difficult to achieve such an effect.

Si Ming stood rooted to the spot like a clay sculpture, neither dodging nor avoiding, until the demonic blade reached his chest. Only then was he awakened by his survival instinct, but it was too late.

It worked!

The same thought popped into the minds of Fuzang and Diwen at the same time. This combined attack was a killing move that the two of them came up with after a painful lesson following their crushing defeat at the hands of the Universe-Shaking Divine General Ba Shenhuang. They were confident that Void Returning, and would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

However, the Netherworld-Penetrating Saber did not easily cleave Si Ming's chest as expected. Instead, it encountered great resistance as if it had hit a divine shield, forcing the man backward.

After the blade energy painstakingly penetrated half a centimeter, Si Ming, who had just woken up, caught it with both hands. Then, while rapidly retreating, he transformed his demonic energy, using his divine soul power to wash away the spiritual imprint on it, turning it into pure Primal Qi for his own use.

"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"

Si Ming paused, halting his retreat. He pushed forward with both hands, and the Netherworld-Penetrating Saber, combined with his power, returned double, splitting in two midway.

Fuzang and Diwen shocked and hurriedly joined forces to block, but their ultimate moves had just been unleashed and their strength was not yet replenished. Their bodies were empty, so how could they resist? The invisible blade energy pierced through their protective Gang Qi and entered their chests.

With two screams, the two men's internal True Qi became chaotic and completely unrestrained, rampaging wildly and instantly injuring their internal organs, with trickles of blood flowing down their lips.

Si Ming pressed his advantage, his figure flashing as he threw out both fists. Fu Zang and Diwen Fuzang their best to block the punches with four palms, but they were no match for the divine power. This time, without their True Qi to protect their bodies, several cracking sounds were heard as their wrist bones were shattered.

Si Ming transformed his fist into a claw, about to capture the two men, when at the critical moment, Fuzang suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out an eerie light. The instant Si Ming met his gaze, his mind wavered, and his soul was forcibly pulled into an illusion.

The scenes of the eighteen levels of hell are ever-changing, exuding an eerie aura of death, misfortune, and evil. The shrill howls of ghosts echo in one's ears, and countless demonic phantoms emit ghostly laughter, bewitching the mind.

"Hmph, you want hell, huh? Then here's hell for you!"

Si Ming raised his hand and pointed, his divine soul power transforming into lightning, unleashing the "Thunderous Lightning Hell" technique. Instantly, endless lightning Blink, crisscrossing and sweeping across the eighteen levels of the Netherworld. The illusion could not withstand its power and shattered like a mirror falling to the ground.

When his consciousness returned to reality, Si Ming was prepared to endure a painful blow, just as if the enemy had taken advantage of the pause in time to beat him up, and the damage would be fully unleashed when time resumed. However, when he looked up, the three opponents had already fled. It turned out that the Seal Talisman Master had activated a divine talisman, which transformed into three cranes, carrying the two more seriously injured people and quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests.

"Tch, he didn't even turn around and yell 'Remember this!'"

Si Ming curled his lip and didn't give chase, because he didn't have the Profound Armor or the Wheel-Turning King Sword that could activate sword formations. Even if he caught up, he wouldn't be able to stop the person. Once Spirit Transformation Grandmaster is determined to escape, it's generally impossible to stop him, even if he's much stronger than his opponent.

Moreover, his mission was not to capture anyone. Chen Xiangduan did not expect him to be able to capture anyone in a one-on-three situation. His assigned task was to hold off the three for a period of time and not interfere with the capture operation.

"That silver-haired man's eyes are extraordinary; they could easily pull my Divine Firmament Soul Body into an illusion. This world probably doesn't have the concept of Kekkei Genkai, right?"

Si Ming thought about it and felt that this move might have some limitations. Otherwise, the opponent would not have needed to use the Buddha Seal and the Demon Blade in combination. He could have simply opened his eyes and pulled him into the illusion, which would have had the same effect of "fixing him." In other words, the opponent would rather go through the trouble of using his ultimate move than open his eyes until he was forced into a desperate situation and faced mortal danger.

Thinking of this, Si Ming looked down at his chest, where a knife mark still remained. Although the bleeding had stopped, the wound was still clearly visible.

"I almost capsized in the gutter. If it had been three seconds longer, I probably would have been pierced by the blade energy, and the outcome would have been uncertain. I might have been the one to escape... Spirit Transformation cultivator is truly not to be underestimated. Who knows what trump card they might have to turn the tide? I'll have to be even more careful in the future."

Composing himself, Si Ming hurried back to the battlefield, only to find it was already over.

It was her martial uncle, Ling Huanxi, who stopped Mi Haichao. She had prepared a formation beforehand, and among the righteous heroes who helped Mi Haichao, there was one who was a member of the Shadow Hero Guard. He deliberately led Mi Haichao towards the formation, and the result was self-evident.

Even at his peak, Mi Haichao's strength was still inferior to Ling Huanxi's. Now that he was older, he was not as good as before in any aspect. He was caught in a frantic escape, trapped in a formation, and ambushed by a traitor by his side. As a result, he was knocked down by Ling Huanxi with a single shot after less than eight moves. The freezing air entered his body, turning him into an ice sculpture.

Chen Xiangduan also successfully caught a fish, but the result greatly disappointed him.

I was hoping to catch a great white shark, but I only caught a crayfish.

Si Ming glanced at the unconscious man being held by Chen Xiangduan and found him somewhat familiar. After a moment's recollection, he realized it was Ji Xun, the wanted criminal who had caused a scene at the concert.

After being captured by Si Ming, this kid was handed over to Ke Chajing, but he was intercepted by Lin Qingtong on the way and dragged into the Remote Heaven Society. Now, after going around in circles, he has fallen into the net of justice again.

As the commander of the Shadow Hero Guard, Chen Xiangduan was familiar with the appearances of all the wanted criminals. Moreover, since he was targeting the Remote Heaven Society, he naturally recorded all the relevant clues and intelligence, regardless of their importance. Therefore, he was very clear that young people like Ji Xun, who had only been brought into the Remote Heaven Society in recent years and whose strength had not even reached the Spirit Transformation, would only be used as henchmen, belonging to the outermost circle, and would not know any important secrets at all.

Fortunately, Liu Qingqing captured Lin Qingtong; otherwise, Chen Xiangduan's operation would have been pointless—even without the fishing plan, Mi Haichao would have been a sitting duck.

"So the enemy I'm facing is the strongest! Aren't you guys going to come and help?"

Compared to the three Nascent Spirit Transformation he had encountered, Si Ming really wanted to shout that it was unfair. Just one silver-haired man with closed Sharingan was enough to easily defeat the three prisoners he had captured.

It was a tough job, but he didn't get much credit for it. After all, Chen Xiangduan's task for him was to stop them. If Si Ming hadn't been thinking about capturing them and had just focused on defense, he could have stopped the three of them while singing.

Liu Qingqing handed the unconscious Lin Qingtong to Chen Xiangduan, thought for a moment, and pleaded, "If possible, please don't torture her."

"Don't worry, using torture to extract information is the Lower Vehicle form of tactic, and we would never stoop to it," Chen Xiangduan promised with a smile.
