Activated with a Golden Nightmare Coin, the Piggy Bank transformed into a dark-gold pig monster. His body swelled several times over, as though a heavenly demon had descended, brimming with murderous intent.
His imposing presence left all three women aghast.
The hunched old man on the small boat also raised his head, a wary look surfacing in his cloudy eyes.
"Freeze!"
The hunched old man released the oar with one hand and pointed at the pig monster.
His voice was dry and hoarse.
The gesture looked casual, but black qi surged over his body, and an incomparably icy aura spread outward.
Under its influence, Chen Lin felt his body tighten, as though countless ropes had bound him, leaving him unable to move.
At the same time, his consciousness grew rigid, as though even his thoughts had been frozen.
He was deeply alarmed.
He hurriedly mobilized every last bit of energy in his body.
His law power had little effect. Only his samsara law proved useful, but his mastery of it was insufficient to dispel the invading aura.
His innate power was of limited use as well.
Even his inner star force, which had repeatedly worked wonders, failed to deliver this time. It merely freed his thoughts from their rigidity, while the restraints on his body and soul remained impossible to shake off.
Chen Lin immediately understood. This hunched old man had probably already reached the true realm.
With his semi-void realm cultivation, he could not contend with such an opponent even with advanced energy at his command.
He was not the only one. Nanmen Lingyue also could not move. Energy surged over her body, and the crescent mark on her forehead had already become a full moon, yet it was still useless.
Chu Qingli and Bai Ze fared even worse.
