The Awakening of Evil Power

Something unusual must be amiss. Yi Yun's identity had already aroused the suspicion of the Gaunt Man and the Masked Man, but they did not connect Jiang Yi Dao with Yi Yun.

In fact, even if they thought of Yi Yun, they wouldn't believe that Yi Yun would have such terrifying combat power.

The two were, after all, Yin Sha born in the Tianyuan Realm. They couldn't imagine what level the Supreme Dao of the Twelve Emperor Heavens would be, nor did they know that Yi Yun possessed Purple Crystal, and to what extent the Purple Crystal would combine with this Supreme Dao...

"This Jiang Yi Dao has a big secret!"

The Masked Man flashed with a cold light. At this moment, regardless of Yi Yun's identity, they were determined to capture Yi Yun.

They used the Heart-Devouring Evil Spirit Technique to force a confession, then Body Snatching Yi Yun's body, taking all his secrets, including his physical form, for themselves!

"Let's attack together, go all out, and seize this person's secrets."

"These geniuses are all the organization's 'property.' Our operation is a clandestine one. We're trying to find you a perfect body while also keeping his secrets for ourselves. This violates the rules, so we need to act quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications!"

Two Yin Fiends are preparing to attack together!

The Masked Man had removed his mask, revealing a pale, sickly face.

This face belongs to Shentu Nantian.

Unbeknownst to the Masked Man, Yi Yun had long known Shentu Nantian.

"Click click click!"

After removing his mask, Shentu Nantian's muscles writhed violently, and sharp bone spurs pierced his flesh, erupting from his body.

Shentu Nantian's eyes slowly turned deep purple, and numerous blood-red lines appeared at the corners of his eyes and on his face.

As he transformed, Shentu Nantian's aura surged wildly; he was about to go all out.

Beside "Shentu Nantian," the Gaunt Man was also transforming.

His muscles began to swell and turn black rapidly, his body began to grow taller, and his joints cracked and popped. In just a few breaths, he transformed from a gaunt man into a monster resembling a demon god.

At this moment, Yi Yun still had many trump cards up his sleeve, but he didn't want to test his combat power after using all his trump cards. The two Yin Sha before him were ancient monsters who had lived for countless years. They had been sleeping underground for a long time, so how could they not have hidden methods?

Just as the two Yin Sha said, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Yi Yun didn't want to only be aware of the anomalies here from the Martial Arts Alliance thousands of miles away, as that would put him in danger.

With a focused mind, Yi Yun connected his consciousness to the Purple Crystal. Within the Purple Crystal's Energy Vision, he could clearly see the flow within the two Yin Sha bodies.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Gaunt Man, now transformed into a demon god, suddenly burst into wild laughter. "It's been a long time since I've felt this good! Although I used a bit of my Yin Sha essence, if I can truly obtain some incredible secret, then this loss is nothing at all."

The Gaunt Man and "Shentu Nantian" exchanged a glance. The two had lived for countless years and were already proficient in combined attacks. When they joined forces, their strength was at least four times that of each of them individually.

However, just as they were about to attack together, Shentu Nantian's expression suddenly changed!

In that instant, a sharp pain surged from his soul, a pain that felt like his soul was being twisted, causing him to groan and his facial muscles to twitch violently!

"Um?"

The Gaunt Man paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at "Shentu Nantian" with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with you?"

The Gaunt Man asked, but Shentu Nantian didn't bother to answer him. The color of his eyes kept changing, his muscles clenched, and strange black energy swirled around his body.

The Gaunt Man was stunned. Was this an old injury flaring up? He hadn't experienced any fighting in the past few years; he shouldn't be injured.

Before he could figure it out, just then—

"Huh!"

A high-pitched screech rang out, and a gigantic Three-legged Golden Crow phantom burst forth from behind Yi Yun.

A burst of pure Yang energy erupted, like ten suns shining in the sky!

A terrifying power permeated the sealed formation, violently impacting its edges and nearly tearing the entire formation apart!

"Hmm? This is..."

The Gaunt Man was greatly alarmed. He turned to look at the golden crow phantom behind Yi Yun. This phantom... was it also Dharma Aspect Totem?!

Does this young man have two Dharma Aspect Totem?

Golden Crow Sun-Plunder, its energy surged, Yi Yun, wielding the Ancient Dust Saber, charged towards the Gaunt Man.

At this moment, Shentu Nantian was already convulsing all over and had completely lost his fighting ability. Their combined attack technique naturally collapsed on its own!

The Gaunt Man had no time to worry about "Shentu Nantian" at this moment. He roared and Demonic Phantom erupted from his body. It was a huge Blood-colored Skeleton that aimed at Yi Yun's Three-legged Golden Crow and bit down!

"Go to hell!"

The Blood-colored Skeleton spun wildly, and the Gaunt Man's transformed black body revealed a dense network of meridians resembling a spider web.

The Blood-colored Skeleton clashed violently with Yi Yun's blade!

Pure Yang Energy has a natural restraining effect on Ghostly Evil Energy. However, when the Gaunt Man was giving it his all, even though a large portion of the Ghostly Evil Energy dissipated, more Yin Evil Fiendish Energy erupted from Gaunt Man body, continuously replenishing his energy.

"The Three-legged Golden Crow, this is Dharma Aspect Totem..."

The Gaunt Man's mind raced. Seven years ago in the Empress Secret Realm, he had seen the exact same totem on Yi Yun's body, and the Pure Yang Energy spewed out by this golden crow was also somewhat similar, only today it was even more powerful!

"Could it be that you...?"

The Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem is already rare, and its simultaneous appearance on two unparalleled geniuses easily leads to speculation; otherwise, how could such a coincidence exist?

"You're Yi Yun!?"

The Gaunt Man wasn't sure. Could it be that Yi Yun had really emerged from the Empress Secret Realm? And... not only had he reached such strength, but he had also infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Alliance and was causing trouble in his territory?

This...

The Gaunt Man was incredulous. As a Yin Sha, he was extremely sensitive to auras, and no one in disguise could fool his eyes. Yet, he had failed to see through Yi Yun.

At this moment, how could Yi Yun possibly answer the Gaunt Man's words? His blade flashed, and with a backhand flick, a rusty broken sword appeared in Yi Yun's hand.

This ancient and dilapidated broken sword seemed to melt into the sun the moment it appeared. The rust on the sword seemed to be burning. This rust was the Deity's Blood that stained the sword!

"Die!"

Yi Yun let out a cold shout and slashed down with his sword!

Upon seeing the broken sword, the Gaunt Man's pupils contracted sharply. At this point, he had no more doubts: Jiang Yi Dao was Yi Yun!

In the Empress Secret Realm, Yi Yun once used this sword to wreak havoc on all sides!

Yi Yun emerged from seclusion in the Empress Secret Realm and actually dared to intrude into the Martial Arts Alliance!

The Gaunt Man gritted his teeth. He didn't need to possess Yi Yun's body. As long as he killed Yi Yun and reported to the Martial Arts Alliance, that would already be a great achievement!

"You're simply... courting death!"

The Gaunt Man channeled his entire body's sinister energy, Blood-colored Skeleton roared. Yi Yun's sword struck the skull squarely between the eyebrows.

The Sword Qi surged straight in, completely cleaving the Blood-colored Skeleton in two!

However, as the crimson, sinister energy surged, Yi Yun's Sword Qi was also continuously corroded!

The Gaunt Man's face was solemn; he never expected Yi Yun to become so powerful.

At this moment, he was facing Yi Yun alone and was actually struggling. Behind him, Shentu Nantian, who had been cooperating with him, was in extreme pain for some unknown reason.

Under these circumstances, he didn't want to get entangled with Yi Yun any longer.

Yi Yun's appearance was of great importance, and at this moment, he had already planned to pass on the news.

However, he was busy fighting Yi Yun at the moment and could not spare the attention to pass on messages.

The Gaunt Man transmitted his voice to "Shentu Nantian": "Jiang Yi Dao is Yi Yun. I'll hold him off. You notify Absolute Sword Mountain! If this brat isn't eliminated, who knows how much he'll grow in a few years!"

The Gaunt Man's telepathic transmission was swift and urgent. In his view, even if "Shentu Nantian" was in extreme pain at this moment, it shouldn't be difficult for him to simply send out a message.

However, his telepathic communication received no response at all.

Upon briefly sifting through his senses to see "Shentu Nantian," the Gaunt Man's heart sank.

"Shentu Nantian" has been tortured to the point of being completely unrecognizable as human.

Shentu Nantian, who was originally pale, was now desperately choking himself. His eyes were bulging outwards, and the blood vessels in his eyes were throbbing as if he had reached his limit and was about to explode.

His face was also filled with a heavy, deathly gray, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

A hoarse sound seemed to be coming from his throat, but he could no longer make a sound. Streams of grayish-black energy emerged from his ears and then flowed back into his nostrils.

This grayish-black energy carried an extremely yin and evil aura of death. Even the Gaunt Man, who was a yin spirit, felt that this energy was too evil.

"Roar--"

Shentu Nantian suddenly roared to the sky, emitting a roar like that of Ancient Savage Beast, and black energy flowed out from his open mouth!

"What... what happened?"

The Gaunt Man's expression changed drastically. Yi Yun's attack was too powerful; he could barely withstand it, while his companion had undergone such a terrifying mutation.

He made a snap decision and directly burned 20% of his Yin Sha essence!

With this immense Yin energy, he forcefully withstood Yi Yun's attack and retrieved a Sound Transmission Token from his Space Ring!

This Sound Transmission Token can transmit information to places millions of miles away, and even if the surrounding space has been sealed off by a large array, it cannot prevent him from transmitting his voice.

"Yi Yun, the successor of the Empress Secret Realm, has appeared 12,000 miles southwest of Absolute Sword Mountain!"

The Gaunt Man quickly recorded his voice into the Sound Transmission Token. Just as he was about to crush the token,...

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Protective Vital Energy shattered, Gaunt Man felt a sudden jolt in his body, followed by a sharp pain from his chest!

Black blood splattered, and bits of flesh flew everywhere.

A sharp black claw burrowed in from behind him and emerged from his chest...
