The Jieyin sat upright on a lotus platform, with Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus hanging above the Black Tortoise. Golden Light cascaded down, washing over the black chains binding the soul.
"Laugh--"
Under the restraint of the Merit Golden Light, the chains gradually revealed their true form, which was actually woven from countless intricate Chaos runes. Each rune contained a twisted will, writhing and struggling as if it were alive, appearing particularly eerie under the Heavenly Dao.
Upon seeing the chains, Jieyin, Zhunti, Ziwei used their Primordial Spirit to communicate with the power of the Heavenly Dao and gather the power of the Laws.
"Cut!"
Jieyin, Zhunti, and Ziwei attacked simultaneously, each condensing their own Laws into a single force— Jieyin's Laws of Karma, Zhunti's Laws of Nirvana, and Ziwei's Path of Ziwei. The Three Paths intertwined and ultimately transformed into a dazzling blade of Laws, slashing fiercely at the dark chains and precisely striking a point where reality and illusion intertwined!
There was a loud "click"!
The dozen or so black chains connecting the Black Tortoise's soul snapped instantly, and a dense aura of Chaos life force gushed out from the broken ends. The Black Tortoise's soul trembled violently and let out a painful roar.
However, at the very moment the chains broke, something unexpected happened!
"Hehehe... You ruined my plans, you're asking for it!"
A chilling laugh echoed from the depths of the Black Tortoise's soul. The previously suppressed Chaos erosion power suddenly erupted, and ferocious Chaos patterns appeared on the surface of the Black Tortoise's soul. A pair of scarlet eyes opened deep within the soul, cold and crazed.
"Not good!" Jieyin's expression changed drastically. "The Chaos Demon Gods's divided soul has awakened!"
The main soul of this Chaos Demon Gods is still in the Guixu. He invaded the Black Tortoise's soul through chains, sneaking over bit by bit. At this moment, only a portion of his soul has successfully entered the Black Tortoise's body. If more than half of his soul enters the Black Tortoise's soul, then this side will become the main soul. Once he has taken over the Black Tortoise's True Spirit, he will have completed the possession.
When the chains broke, the interruption of the transmission of soul power caused the split soul to immediately awaken. Sensing that something had changed, the split soul took advantage of the moment when the chains broke and the Black Tortoise's soul was weakened, and suddenly erupted, attempting to completely take over the Black Tortoise's soul body.
The sudden eruption of corrosive power caused the Golden Light of the Merit Golden Lotus to be counterattacked by the corrosive power, and it even showed a faint tendency to be suppressed!
"Junior brother!"
Upon hearing the call of Jieyin, Zhunti understood his meaning.
"Don't even think about succeeding!" Zhunti roared, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree once again shone brightly. Countless golden Sanskrit characters wrapped around it like chains, helping to suppress the Chaos split soul. The Ziwei Star Lord also activated the Star Formation with all his might to block the escape path of the Chaos split soul.
Jieyin exerted all his strength to control the Merit Golden Lotus of Merit to protect the True Spirit of the Black Tortoise, while resisting the backlash of the corrosive power. Meanwhile Zhunti took the opportunity to set up Void Spirit Protection Seal on the True Spirit of the Black Tortoise.
Once the Restriction were in place, the divided soul realized that it could no longer intrude into the True Spirit of the Black Tortoise.
However, this divided soul was extremely cunning. Seeing that it could not forcibly seize the soul body, it suddenly contracted all its power, turned into a ball of black light, and directly escaped into the Physical Body of the Black Tortoise!
After the split soul eroded the Black Tortoise's divine soul and True Spirit, he already possessed the Black Tortoise's aura and could merge with its Physical Body.
"Boom!"
The Black Tortoise's Physical Body suddenly opened its eyes. Its originally gentle eyes were now blood-red, and the spiral patterns on its Tortoise Shell spread wildly, exactly the same as the patterns of the Guixu Vortex!
"Roar--!"
The Black Tortoise Physical Body roared to the sky, unleashing a terrifying Chaos Aura that shook the entire Cave Abode. If it weren't for the Ziwei Star Lord's Star Formation sealing it off, this aura would have already alarmed the entire Mount Sumeru!
Seeing that there was no way to possess the body and no way to escape, the split soul chose to fight to the death. Although it could not get out after entering the body of the Xuan Turtle and would eventually be crushed by the body, it had no other choice.
"It's trying to forcibly possess my Physical Body!" Jieyin said in a deep voice. "We must stop it!"
The Merit Golden Lotus bloomed once more. Jieyin his hands together, chanting mantras. A golden barrier enveloped the Black Tortoise's Physical Body, attempting to suppress the erosion of Chaos.
Zhunti then summoned the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, which transformed into countless golden chains that bound the Black Tortoise's limbs, restricting its movements.
However, the Chaos Demon Gods's divided soul was extremely tenacious. The Black Tortoise's Physical Body was already powerful, and now, with the support of the Chaos Power, it even showed a faint tendency to break free from its restraints!
"Jiang Yun!" Jieyin a low voice, "Quickly activate the Circumference Star Power to help us suppress this!"
Jiang Yun was already on high alert. Upon hearing this, he immediately made a hand seal, and the Five Spirit Pearls in his inner Small World flew out, resonating with the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation in his Cave Abode. In an instant, endless starlight fell, transforming into Stars chains that wrapped around the Black Tortoise's Physical Body.
"Boom!"
The Black Tortoise's Physical Body struggled wildly, and the Chaos Aura clashed fiercely with the Merit Golden Light and the power of Stars, causing the entire Cave Abode to tremble violently.
At that moment, Jiang Yun had a sudden inspiration and unleashed the projection of his inner Small World.
The moment the phantom of the world enveloped the Black Tortoise's Physical Body, the spread of those spiral patterns slowed down significantly— the Heavenly Dao Prototype of the Small World was instinctively repelling the Chaos Aura of the Chaos Demon Gods's divided soul.
The Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao would instinctively eliminate the invading remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods. Now, the Demon God's split soul has eroded the Black Tortoise's divine soul and True Spirit, and has been tainted by the aura of the Primordial World Living Beings, making the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao unable to take action. However, for Jiang Yun's Inner World, the Black Tortoise and the Demon God's split soul are both outsiders, and the Heavenly Dao Prototype within the world rejects them all.
"I empower your world with the power of the Laws, and you suppress it with the World Power!" Zhunti the intention. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree split off branches and pierced into the illusory image of Jiang Yun's Small World. The Small World, empowered by the power of Quasi-Saint, suddenly solidified and temporarily imprisoned the Black Tortoise's Physical Body in an independent space-time.
"This won't do!" said the Ziwei Star Lord through gritted teeth. "The Chaos Split Soul is too deeply integrated with the Black Tortoise's Physical Body. If we forcibly suppress it, it might damage the Black Tortoise's essence!"
Jieyin's gaze Jieyin, and he said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to..."
He looked at Zhunti, the Two exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
"Use the power of Heavenly Dao to sever the Karma Chaos!"
Jieyin, Zhunti, and Ziwei joined forces and once again gathered the power of the Laws to unleash a slash!
This strike contains the Heavenly Dao Will, directly pointing to the Karma connection between the Chaos Soul Division and the Black Tortoise's Physical Body!
"Boom--!"
As the blade flashed, the Black Tortoise's Physical Body stiffened abruptly, its crimson eyes gradually dimmed, Chaos divided soul let out a resentful roar before being completely erased by the power of the Heavenly Dao!
"It's a success!" Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before everyone could relax, the Black Tortoise's soul suddenly trembled violently and then decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Not good!" Jieyin's expression changed drastically. "The Chaos Split Soul has been severed, but the Black Tortoise's soul has been deeply corrupted by Chaos and is now collapsing!"
"We must stabilize the Black Tortoise's soul!" Zhunti urgently.
Jiang Yun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered something. He immediately took out an item from his Inner World—
"Three Lights Divine Water!"
Without hesitation, he poured a large amount of Three Lights Divine Water onto the Black Tortoise's soul. As the divine water fell, the tendency to crack finally stopped, and the soul's aura slowly increased.
Upon Jieyin this, Jieyin immediately activated the Merit Golden Lotus, using the Merit Power to help the Black Tortoise stabilize its soul.
Finally, with everyone's combined efforts, the Black Tortoise's soul gradually stabilized, its scarlet eyes completely disappeared, and it regained its original clarity.
"Phew..." Jiang Yun let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
However, before everyone could fully relax, the Black Tortoise's soul suddenly spoke weakly:
"Be careful... the Guixu... it... isn't dead yet..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Black Tortoise's soul fell into a deep sleep, clearly having exhausted its energy.
Jieyin, Zhunti, Ziwei, and Jiang Yun looked at each other with solemn expressions.
"It seems that the Chaos Demon Gods beneath the Guixu are even more troublesome than we imagined..."
