God Descends! God Descends!
"What a fine Martial Dao Spirit!"
Just as the Golden Crow charged forward, Qiu Yan shuddered, and a giant hand covered in a thick layer of hair emerged from his body!
With a swift upward grab, the fur ignited, transforming into a raging inferno! A torrent of flames surged forth!
The Thoughtfire!
The flames formed by burning intention are different from ordinary spirit and power. They are chaotic and disordered. The light released by the Golden Crow could not burn them off in a short time, and it dared not rashly pull them into the illusion formed by Martial Dao Spirit, lest they be eroded in the opposite direction.
On the other hand, when this ball of Thought Fire erupted, the two old Daoists' expressions changed, and they manipulated the Golden Crow Spirit to prevent the flames from spreading!
"Oh? These two old Daoists are deliberately keeping their fight within the confines of their territory, preventing it from affecting the surrounding area. That's right, this place is close to the Capital Region. As people from outside the secular world, their presence here is inherently dangerous. If they cause too much trouble, they will definitely not come out on top!"
Having understood this, Qiu Yan had no intention of making a fuss about it. The reason was simple: he also didn't want the matter to escalate. Besides, if it did, it would affect those around him and ultimately harm innocent people.
Qiu Yan came here to avoid future troubles for himself, but he did not intend to implicate others.
The two old Daoists were far inferior to Qiu Yan in terms of cultivation level. Their back-and-forth exchanges just now, which seemed complicated, were actually only a matter of breaths. Now, the other party intended to finish the battle quickly and take down Qiu Yan without incurring much cost.
However, Qiu Yan was not without the ability to fight. The power of his life force alone was comparable to the peak of the Third Realm. In addition, with the power of his Heart Ape, he was not inferior to cultivators of the Fourth Realm.
However, the ones making the move now are two cultivators at the Fourth Realm!
These two men are from the same school and clearly possess a combined attack technique. They are not bound by worldly conventions and do not care about bullying the weak or outnumbering the weak. Their purpose in coming out this time is to capture Qiu Yan with the strength of the two of them.
The Thought Fire erupting from the giant palm of the Heart Ape temporarily halted the attack, but the Golden Crow's light and shadow quickly pushed the flames down. Then, Qiu Yan's body trembled, and Incense Faith surged forth from the Soul Aperture, replenishing the Heart Ape. The Heart Ape roared, bursting forth from its body, raising its arms to collide with the Golden Crow. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a burst of light, which shot out with a whooshing sound!
The two old Daoist priests were surprised to see this, but their eyes immediately lit up. A blazing Blazing Sun leaped out from behind them and merged with the Golden Crow, instantly increasing their power!
"I never expected this child to possess such a spiritual object. This is Heart Ape formed from collective thoughts, born from a concept. It contains infinite possibilities and is a great aid to achieving enlightenment. It's a waste of a gem to have fallen into his hands! Perfect timing to seize it as well!"
The two Dao Heart. Their long-cultivated, unmoved hearts finally stirred, their emotions fluctuated, and a trace of greed arose.
Then the Golden Crow went berserk, its flames exploding and striking the Shadow of the Heart Ape, causing the latter to teeter on the brink of collapse.
"My physical body and the Heart Ape, working together, already possess the combat power of the Fourth Realm, but I'm unsure of the exact level. It seems to me that it's roughly equivalent to the second stage of the Fourth Realm. Facing someone at the second stage of the Fourth Realm, I might still have a chance of victory. However, these two old Daoists cooperate seamlessly and are both at the second stage of the Fourth Realm. After a prolonged battle, I'm afraid I'll be defeated instead."
At the edge of the battlefield, Qiu Yan was spared from being affected by the shockwave thanks to the barrier of his Heart Ape. Otherwise, his physical body Divine Soul alone would have been unable to withstand the aftershocks. Although his attack this time was somewhat hasty, he had prepared a backup plan and an escape route. He was using the Heart Ape to fight back because he wanted to explore his own combat strength. Now that he had achieved his goal, there was no reason for him to continue taking risky moves.
"The Heart Ape and the Golden Crow are locked in a stalemate, which will last for about a breath or two. We must seize this opportunity, lest these two old Daoists escape!"
Faced with this scene, Qiu Yan was not only not panicked, but also did not flee as the old Daoist had expected. Instead, he was worried that the two old Daoists would escape!
Then, he took a deep breath...
"The Sage Spirit emerges!"
In an instant, the light and shadow in the room shifted!
One Legalist Spirit, one Second Sage Spirit, two Agricultural School Spirit, and nine Sage Sun Spirit roared out without reservation. As Qiu Yan pointed forward, the nascent form of his doctrine manifested, drawing the many spirits together into a whirlwind that crashed down on the Golden Crow!
The Sage Spirit, a raging torrent!
Immediately afterwards, he turned his body, and ten Divine Sense circled around him, accumulating power. Four bookshelves took flight, circulating through classics, Classics, Histories, Masters, and Anthologies, releasing four kinds of illusions. Following Qiu Yan's finger, they spun and rushed towards the Golden Crow Spirit.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yan once again swung the brush in his hand, gathering his Qi and Blood to write the text, infusing it with the aura of the Seven Souls, and pouring in surging Qi and Blood, writing the One Book, Seven Souls.
Those ten Divine Sense also hovered in one place, shaking the Myriad People's Heart Fire and re-emerging the Contemplating the Human Path.
But this was not the end. As the bookshelf fell, his Qi and Blood surged like a tide, and Qiu Yan's Divine Soul and the physical bodies of his Seven Souls merged into it, transforming into a mighty river!
River of History, Illusory World!
This river, carrying the One Book, Seven Souls and the Contemplating the Human Path, surges forth!
In the river, the Blood-Colored Sage rise and fall, and the light and shadow of Sage Sun lecturing flash.
"I'm not doing this to ride the wave of my promotion; I'm seizing this opportunity to pave my own path in Life Cultivation and truly condense my False Core!"
Before the words were finished, the Soul Aperture trembled again, and streaks of pitch-black fragments shot out, gathering into a cloud of smoke. The outline of a ghost face could be vaguely seen, which was none other than the Heart Demon Head.
After manifesting, the Demon Head did not linger, but traversed the long river, avoiding the Golden Crow's light!
In an instant, the Sage Spirit, the four illusions, the One Book, Seven Souls, the Contemplating the Human Path, and the River of History, Illusory World, all combined with the tottering Heart Ape of the mind. The Heart Ape suddenly swelled up, bursting into flames and burning completely!
"Not good!"
The two old Daoists suddenly widened their eyes, but before they could react, the Golden Crow Spirit that was wrapped around it was covered by various forces. A long river wrapped around it, the Human Path passed through it, the aura of the Seven Souls appeared, the four kinds of bookshelves suppressed it, and the Sage Spirit guided it.
The Demon Head, using the long river as a cover, bypassed the golden light emanating from the house and pounced directly at the two old Daoist priests.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the inn, the sky changed slightly, and a wind picked up from the ground.
However, unnoticed by ordinary people, the pervasive Human Path Order trembled slightly, diverting a portion of its power to merge into the inn!
At the same time, many people far away noticed the changes in the Human Path Order and were alarmed.
After this Force of Order fell into the inn, it was drawn into the River of History, Illusory World, binding the struggling Golden Crow Spirit even more tightly!
Hmm...
The two old Daoist priests groaned, caught off guard and distracted, as the Demon Head pierced through their bodies. They finally showed their shock, but the next moment, the Daoist robes they wore shone brightly, and the Demon Head was forcibly ejected, shattered, and collapsed.
The Daoist robes transformed, revealing talismans and symbols on their surface, radiating Spiritual Qi —clearly, two Law Treasure!
"This Qiu Yan, a mere Third Realm cultivator, is able to mobilize so much combat power. The fact that his Shadow of the Heart Ape could barely contend with us was already unexpected. But I never imagined that his remaining methods would each contain immense power, even mobilizing the Human Path Order to suppress our Divine Ability! It seems that instead of us defeating him, we will be suppressed by him?"
The Golden Crow Dao sent two people to capture Qiu Yan, both to seek revenge and to bring him back to be trained into the new Golden Crow Dao Master. Therefore, before setting off, they collected a lot of information about Qiu Yan. At the same time, they also considered the reaction of the secular dynasties and did not want to make a big fuss.
The two elders sent out were both at the second level of the Fourth Realm and had a combined attack method, making them virtually foolproof. However, they only considered the combat power of Qiu Yan's Fleshly Body and were unaware of his other two bodies, let alone the fact that he already had the rudimentary form of the Literary Dao in his heart. As a result, they only considered the Divine Ability countermeasures and ultimately fell into this predicament because they ignored too many variables.
However, these two old Daoists also had their trump cards. Seeing that their physical bodies and the Golden Crow Spirit were being entangled and were about to be suppressed, the two made a quick decision. With a thought, they concentrated their essence, energy, and spirit, and their bodies quickly withered away, each emitting a ball of red light.
The red light shifted, transforming into two babies.
Nascent Soul!
Within that Nascent Soul Three Souls Seven Souls were perfectly integrated, thoughts Qi and Blood flowed smoothly and continuously, and Divine Sense and True Essence were constantly changing. As soon as it appeared, it opened its mouth and inhaled, causing the invisible Fortune that surrounded it to fluctuate, and then it was actually drawn into its mouth!
"Hmm? Absorbing Fortune?" Qiu Yan immediately sensed it.
Then, the two Nascent Soul raised their hands and the Incense Burner on the table flew up with a "whoosh." Thick smoke poured out from the two small holes on the lid, isolating the surroundings and freezing the space where the entire inn was located, and rushed towards Qiu Yan!
"Even if you have many tricks up your sleeve and amazing Divine Ability powers, once your physical body is captured, you will ultimately only face defeat!"
The two Nascent Soul cultivators opened their mouths and uttered words, each one clear, but their voices were still childish, showing no trace of age.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan's physical body suddenly opened his eyes, grinned, and said, "What you two said is right. This battle of Divine Ability is just the tip of the iceberg. Only by capturing your nascent Nascent Soul can we truly stabilize the battle and ensure that there will be no more mistakes." After speaking, he retreated rapidly, maintaining distance from the approaching smoke.
The two Nascent Soul were startled, realizing something was wrong. "Your Divine Soul Spirit Projection and your Seven Souls have manifested. Have you entered the Fourth Realm? Why can your physical body still speak and move?"
"There's no need for you two to trouble yourselves with that."
Another sentence was uttered, but it was not Qiu Yan's physical body speaking. Instead, it came from the River of History, Illusory World. A Soul Shadow emerged from it, lying motionless on its side, like a god statue. It was none other than the Central Pivot Soul!
"God has come! God has come!"
At several calls, the reclining god suddenly stood up and then quickly condensed into a figure, wearing a gray robe, with hair as red as fire and eyes tightly closed.
Gods!
"This..." The two Nascent Soul suddenly widened their eyes, their pale red bodies trembling as they sensed an indescribable aura.
Then, the deity suddenly opened its eyes, flames flickering within them! (To be continued...)
