Its front was snow-white as jade, its back pitch-black as ink. With a swish, it shone toward Taiyi.
"The Yin-Yang Mirror?"
Taiyi's pupils contracted.
This was an uncanny weapon that killed without leaving a trace.
Though it originated in the Central Plains, it was also renowned in the Eastern Wasteland, where many imitations existed.
"Hiss!" White light shone from its front. Taiyi felt his divine sense being drawn out by a mysterious flowing force that nearly pulled his soul from his body.
"Hmph, a mere imitation of the Yin-Yang Mirror dares show off before me!"
Taiyi snorted coldly.
His brow glowed, and the great black cauldron protecting his divine sense flew out, radiating boundless devouring power.
The Yin-Yang Saintess's expression changed. "Is that an imitation of the Yaoguang Holy Land's Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron?"
Both were imitations.
And both had been forged by supreme Great Powers or even living-fossil-level experts.
Yet they could not be mentioned in the same breath. Hers was merely an imitation of an Inherited Saint Weapon.
Taiyi's great cauldron, however, was an imitation of a genuine Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, and it had even been refined within the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron itself.
"Clang!"
The two weapons collided.
The great black cauldron sent the mirror flying outright.
The Yin-Yang Saintess retreated. She swiftly touched her brow, and a crescent-shaped Yin Diagram appeared.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
Streaks of divine radiance shot toward Taiyi.
The Yin-Yang Sect was a supreme sect of the Central Plains, and its Saintess naturally possessed tremendous strength.
Though she had only recently broken through to the third realm of the Four Extremes, she could certainly kill many cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Anyone of Holy Son caliber could defy the hierarchy and slay those above them.
There was a considerable gap between their cultivation realms.
And both carried Forbidden Weapons capable of enhancing their strength.
Yet Taiyi displayed terrifying combat prowess. His Holy Light Technique rendered him impervious to all arts, while his Sun God Fist was unstoppable.
For a time, although the Yin-Yang Saintess had fallen into a disadvantage, their battle still entered a brief stalemate.
"You can't kill me!"
She had been forced into close combat with Taiyi several times.
Driven back again and again, the battered Yin-Yang Saintess bled from the corner of her mouth as she shouted, "Yin and yang manifest, impervious to all arts!"
Her palms had been battered bloody and were spasming uncontrollably.
Even stark white bone had been exposed.
Light flashed behind her.
A strange Yin-Yang Diagram appeared eerily, flowing with a mysterious aura.
It kept all arts from touching her, leaving her all but invincible.
Taiyi's various attacks were weakened to an immense degree.
"Is this a powerful aura left by a supreme hierarch specifically to protect Holy Sons and Holy Maidens?"
He stared straight at the mysterious Yin-Yang Diagram.
Taiyi's gaze turned sharp, and his expression shifted slightly.
It was a powerful imprint left by the Yin-Yang Sect's Old Hierarch.
Otherwise, with the Yin-Yang Saintess's attainments in the Yin-Yang Dao, she clearly could not have achieved Yin-Yang Unity, reaching a state of immunity to all arts comparable to the Holy Light Technique.
That strange Yin-Yang Diagram filled him with wariness, making him feel as though his hands and feet were bound.
For within the flickering diagram, he could vaguely see an old man with snow-white hair and beard sitting cross-legged, hazy and indistinct, radiating a terrifying aura.
"It's useless. You're going to die today!"
Taiyi seethed with killing intent.
Delay invited complications, and he did not want to drag this out any longer.
His hands traced through the air as he directly employed the Battle Saint Method to manifest a killing art.
Boundless holy light gathered, forming an enormous sword that seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart.
"Hiss-"
The void was mercilessly sliced open.
The dazzling holy sword tore through heaven and earth.
A single strike shattered the Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Yin-Yang Saintess herself was nearly cleaved apart.
From her forehead to her abdomen, she was almost split open and disemboweled, drenched in blood, a ghastly sight.
Had that strange Yin-Yang Diagram not rotated to protect her,
she would already have been cut in two.
Chapter 46: A Primordial Spirit Weapon? Wang Yangzhan's Fury
"Do you really think that thing can protect you?"
Just then,
Taiyi's Bitter Sea glowed.
Before the Yin-Yang Saintess's horrified eyes,
a piece of immortal gold roughly ten feet wide, wreathed in chaos, smashed down viciously upon the Mysterious Dao Diagram.
"Rumble..." It was as though a Primordial Ancient Mountain had come crushing down without mercy.
The mysterious Yin-Yang Diagram was blasted straight into pieces.
"Aaah..." The Yin-Yang Saintess screamed as her bones broke and her sinews snapped, her flesh mangled. She flew through the air, vomiting blood.
Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the mysterious immortal gold suffused with chaos qi. "What exactly is that..."
But before she could finish,
Taiyi had already seized the chaos immortal gold and smashed it toward her again with savage brutality.
The dazzling colored sand swept around her like a river of stars, enclosing the Yin-Yang Saintess protectively.
But it was utterly useless. This indestructible, supreme sacred substance was completely unaffected by the colored sand left behind by a sage upon passing away in meditation, and it smashed everything, including the Yin-Yang Saintess, into bloody pulp.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, the deafening explosion shook the heavens.
A vast stretch of the mountain range collapsed under the blow.
The Saintess whom the Yin-Yang Sect had painstakingly nurtured was mercilessly snuffed out by Taiyi just like that.
"Swish..."
At the same time,
the shattered Yin-Yang Diagram suddenly transformed into boundless radiance, gathering into an aged figure that radiated a horrifying aura and tried to intervene. "Junior, you..."
But what greeted him was the terrifying chaos immortal gold.
It hammered down in an unbroken barrage, blasting him into utter fragments.
"Hum..." He summoned the great black cauldron.
With utmost care, he collected the colored sand that had lost its master.
Taiyi put away the great black cauldron and the chaos immortal gold, then let out a breath of relief. "Fortunately, the chaos immortal gold is extraordinarily miraculous. It can even suppress divine sense, or this really would have been troublesome..."
Indeed, he had discovered this by chance.
He did not know whether this type of immortal gold inherently possessed such properties, or whether its unusual birth-nurtured for endless ages by the enormous Five-Colored Altar left behind by Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable-had granted it a special mysterious power.
This piece of chaos immortal gold was incredibly miraculous; it could actually devour divine sense directly.
It was practically a natural Primordial Spirit Weapon, suited to attacking another person's divine sense or primordial spirit.
It possessed inconceivably wondrous effects and astonishing power.
"Saintess..."
"Roar-"
Shouts rang out.
They were accompanied by terrifying fluctuations of divine power.
The Yin-Yang Sect's experts had sensed that their Saintess was in danger and had wanted to stop tangling with the Flood Dragon.
But unexpectedly, the Flood Dragon refused to relent and pursued them, forcing them to fight as they retreated in an unending struggle.
"Boom..." Taiyi's expression changed, and he decisively summoned the Profound Jade Platform.
It tore open the void, carrying him away.
"Damn it-" Before long,
the Yin-Yang Sect's two Half-Step Great Powers arrived.
Both their expressions changed drastically, and they roared in uncontrollable fury, "Who did this?"
But in the blink of an eye, the enormous Flood Dragon, wreathed in blazing flames, charged at them with murderous intent.
Their expressions changed, and they had no attention to spare for anything else.
They were shocked and furious, but this Flood Dragon was simply too powerful.
They could only muster all their strength to fend it off.
