Void-Driving Dao Lord

Wang Yifu and Tong Shou's conversation did not reach Hu Qi and Dai Guo's ears, because the two of them were shrouded in a terrifying pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on them, their bodies creaking and their bones feeling like they couldn't bear the weight, and they had to wholeheartedly resist this pressure.

In the past, this sheer force would have been enough to crush the two of them to the ground, rendering them unable to move. Fortunately, having followed Qiu Yan for a long time, they had been influenced by him and had unintentionally learned a method of Life Cultivation from Qiu Yan. After studying and practicing for a period of time, the accumulated knowledge in their hearts turned into insights that touched their minds and bodies, allowing them to advance in their respective levels. In terms of progress alone, it was quite remarkable, but it was still not as fast as Qiu Yan's advancement.

Hu Qi has now refined his Fifth Soul, and his Central Pivot remains unchanged; while Dai Guo has refined his Fourth Soul, and his bloodline has been passed down.

Such achievements would be considered those of a master in a remote region, but they are far from enough in the face of the Void-Driving Dao Lord.

Before the Void-Driving Dao Lord even approached, he merely released his aura, which, like a wall, pushed towards them without any fancy moves, causing the two to tremble with fear. Before they even exchanged blows, they were already struggling to breathe.

"I never expected that two servants could possess such cultivation and willpower. No wonder they dared to attack my disciples of the Void-Driving Dao Path. They must have something to rely on. What a pity..."

The Void-Driving Dao Lord walked slowly, his wide robes fluttering and his sleeves billowing behind him. Combined with his majestic face and imposing aura, he exuded an otherworldly charm.

As he walked and spoke, his words were like sharp swords piercing the hearts of Hu Qi and Dai Guo, causing them to tense up and finally realize the identity of the newcomer. They couldn't help but secretly lament their misfortune.

"I didn't expect the people from the Void-Driving Dao to attack at this time, and the young master isn't even here..."

Before the thought could even finish, the Void-Driving Dao Lord had already arrived. He glanced at Hu and Dai, then shook his head. "However, since you dared to provoke me, you should be prepared. It is only right that I take your lives!"

Before they could even make a move, a surge of murderous intent enveloped Hu Qi and Dai Guo. Their blood vessels pounded, a chill ran through them, and they felt as if they were doomed.

Just then, a voice came from behind --

"Father, these two were only acting on behalf of someone else. Please spare their lives and punish them lightly."

The one who spoke was Wang Yifu. As he spoke, he stepped forward, and his attire made the Void-Driving Dao Lord pause for a moment in surprise.

Wang Yifu was wearing a coarse Hemp Robe with a cloth tied around his waist. The cloth was stained, and at first glance he looked like an old farmer, but upon closer inspection, one would find that his spirit was exceptionally clear and bright.

"Huh?" Recalling Wang Yifu's former appearance, the Void-Driving Dao Lord had a hint of doubt. His gaze swept over Tong Shou and the others, and he sensed the subtle changes in their auras, which he found increasingly strange. However, he then noticed that their auras were weakening, and he knew that their skills had been crippled. He couldn't help but feel angry.

Just as the Void-Driving Dao Lord was experiencing a mental fluctuation, a figure suddenly jumped out from the room next door. It was Chen Yun who leaped out, pointed his fingers like a sword, and slashed forward. Faint thoughts shot out like silk threads, taut and straight, actually creating a gap in the Void-Driving Dao Lord's aura.

As soon as the gap appeared, the unified aura was immediately interrupted, giving Hu Qi and Dai Guo some breathing space. The two knew what was good and what was bad, so they did not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, they quickly retreated, breathing heavily. Then they looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.

"This person is the Void-Driving Dao Lord Sect? This is terrifying! He just walked over, without even lifting a finger, and the two of us couldn't even move an inch. We were completely at his mercy!"

Once they caught their breath, their tense nerves relaxed slightly, and their pores immediately began to open, sweat pouring out and soaking their clothes!

It should be noted that with their current cultivation levels, they can be considered experts in their own right. Locking their pores and conserving their energy is an ability that even Foundation Establishment martial artists can master. However, when the heavy pressure was lifted, the two of them immediately lost control, and their energy relaxed. This shows just how immense and terrifying the pressure was.

More importantly, the two were not only physically oppressed, but also psychologically affected, leaving them with lasting trauma!

The two men's fear went unnoticed by the Void-Driving Dao Lord. This sect leader, who had come to their door, looked at Chen Yun and said calmly, "The changes revealed in your mental fluctuations are from the Chen Household's methods, yet they are devoid of any worldly concerns, possessing a pure and profound quality. This is inconsistent with the Chen Household's cultivation method. The Chen Household originally transitioned from Daoism to officialdom, passing down their lineage for generations, making them a sizable sect. They wouldn't easily change their cultivation method, much less readily accept other methods. Could it be that you have already betrayed the Chen Household?"

Although his words were ostensibly a question, there was not a trace of doubt in his tone.

On the other side, after Chen Yun unleashed that move, his face instantly turned pale, his energy and spirit waned, and he was drenched in sweat. Although he was still standing, he was already swaying and looked like he might fall at any moment after being swept by the residual aura of the Void-Driving Dao Lord.

Upon hearing the question, Chen Yun gave a bitter laugh, but he no longer had the strength to answer.

Seeing this, Void-Driving Dao Lord shook his head and said nothing more. He had come here to settle his grudges, but judging from the current situation, the person in charge was not here.

"Even so, we can't leave empty-handed... Hmm?"

Void-Driving Dao Lord was speaking, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, then turned around abruptly to look behind him, where he saw another figure.

The figure had been walking slowly from deep within the forest, leaving footprints one after another, but the intervals between the footprints were very far, as if the Shrinking Earth to Inches, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of them!

He was a young scholar, his aura fluctuating wildly, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, which was particularly strange, but his eyes were as bright as stars, making him unforgettable at first sight.

It was Qiu Yan!

"So you are Qiu Yan. You said you wanted to settle our score back then, and I've come here this time..." Upon seeing the newcomer, the Void-Driving Dao Lord was not careless. His strength surged, and his surging aura rolled, instantly eliminating the slight opening caused by Chen Yun.

This oppressive force, mixed with the words of the Void-Driving Dao Lord, surged forth, intending to suppress Qiu Yan before him!

The Martial Dao Momentum!

This is a technique on par with Soul Dao Curse Arts, combining Qi and Blood, True Qi, and mental focus to communicate with external Spiritual Qi, draw upon the flow of energy, and force the opponent's mind to act!

When unleashed at the level of the Void-Driving Dao Lord, its effects become even more unpredictable!

Although the time was short, with just one glance, the Void-Driving Dao Lord could already discern Qiu Yan's cultivation level, knowing that he Nature-Life Dual Cultivation. However, in terms of Life Cultivation alone, he was not yet at the Third Realm. Even if he cultivated Nature Cultivation, he was no match for him!

However, to his surprise, Qiu Yan swayed slightly in the face of his Martial Dao Momentum, weaving through the pressure like an eel. He shifted his feet, his entire body surging with energy, and his Qi and Blood gushed out!

Boom!

This outburst seemed to squeeze out the essence of Qi and Blood from the body, directly blowing away the surrounding grass and trees, and uprooting the soil, forming a barren open space!

Even the surging aura of the Void-Driving Dao Lord was blown to pieces!

"Huh?" The Void-Driving Dao Lord was slightly taken aback. Before he could recover, the enormous fist had already slammed into him!

Boom!

The fist's force was immense, combining true energy with True Qi and Qi and Blood. The air along its path was compressed and solidified, becoming almost tangible, and it struck along with the fist. If it hit the body, the force it unleashed would be enough to shatter a martial artist at the Foundation Establishment Peak into dust!

"How dare you! You dare to fight me in martial arts cultivation!" Void-Driving Dao Lord roared, flicking his sleeve as his Martial Dao Will surged forth. A state of mind that controlled the illusory and was not bound by the Five Elements roared out, expanding and increasing the tiny space in front of him. A punch that was just inches away was now several feet away in the blink of an eye!

"What skill! What Divine Ability!" Qiu Yan's punch did not achieve its full effect, but he was not discouraged. His feet pierced the soil like nails, connecting with the earth and releasing the feeling of taking root. He drew earth energy from the ground and directly connected it to the surrounding five miles. The people in the villages and towns within this range felt relieved, and then everything returned to normal.

However, in this short period of time, Qiu Yan had already gathered enough popular sentiment and poured into the Myriad People's Heart Fire. As the flames leaped, ten Divine Sense broke out of the fire, each changing at will, and soared towards the Void-Driving Dao Lord!

"Fine, fine! I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already made your move!" The Void-Driving Dao Lord's expression remained unchanged, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He felt even more aggrieved. He had come here to settle his grudges, but Qiu Yan's immediate attack without a word made him feel displeased, as if he were being disregarded.

Qiu Yan did not hesitate and said, "I have something to say to you, but if we don't fight, I think you won't listen." Then, the ten Divine Sense arrived at the side of the Void-Driving Dao Lord, released their respective intents, flames bloomed from them, and the people shouted and boiled, condensing into an illusion!

"What arrogance! Do you really think you can escape with your life after fighting me?"

Void-Driving Dao Lord sneered, flicked his sleeve, and his True Essence surged. Kidney Fire and Core Fire burst forth, merging with his True Essence. His Martial Dao Spirit spread out, shattering the illusion of Divine Sense that Qiu Yan had set up!

Splash!

Within the fragments of illusion, the Martial Dao Spirit continued to expand, flashing across the ground. The soil within a radius of one mile rapidly changed, like ripples spreading across the surface of water. Then, this solid soil became illusory and ethereal, like a swamp or loose soil, swallowing Qiu Yan whole!

"The Great Void-Reality Rotation Art!"

The Void-Driving Dao Lord turned his hands, and this piece of land was pulled, tilted, and rotated, enveloping Qiu Yan within it, and then contracted inward, as if to condense into a pill!

"A mere junior, not worth mentioning!"

As these words fell, Qiu Yan, trapped in the Ethereal Mud, felt murderous intent emanating from Eight Directions, threatening to crush him to dust!

However, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes.

"I thought we'd have to fight for a while, but I never expected to end up like this in the blink of an eye! But that suits me just fine!"
