The border between the two countries.
The vast and mighty Qingming waters converged to form a great lake suspended in the sky. Streams of emerald light gathered from it, intimately clinging to the Dharma body that connected heaven and earth, adding color and enhancing its Divine Ability. Thousands of ethereal lights shot out from between the eyebrows, fluttering and scattering like rain.
He Chong's face was extremely grim.
On the one hand, he has not yet fully refined the treasure mirror, so he cannot unleash its full power. On the other hand, the treasure mirror is a treasure owned by the Transformation Sect, even if it were given to him now.
He Chong had originally intended to break through to the Middle Golden Core Stage, but he was injured by Chen Shuangbai's [ Lesser Yin Spirit-Slashing Saber ], which damaged his foundation. All his previous efforts were in vain, and he is now still stuck at the Early Golden Core Stage, which is considered to be the Early Golden Core Stage after many years.
However, being in the Early Golden Core Stage Early Golden Core Stage realm. Activating this High-Grade Law Treasure, the [ Dark Nether Gloomy Light Mirror ], was extremely difficult for it, and it was gradually becoming unable to withstand Chen Shuangbai's [ Fallen Toad Light ].
The eerie light of the moon eclipse grew ever brighter and denser, like a silvery-black downpour, pouring down upon He Chong.
The purplish-black beam of light emitted from the [ Dark Nether Gloomy Light Mirror ] in He Chong's hand began to shatter inch by inch under the impact of the lunar eclipse light, emitting a crisp sound like shattering glass.
He knew he couldn't hold on much longer.
Suddenly, this most loyal follower of the Transformation Sect shouted, " Nether Gloom Elder, please lend me your help!"
But this magical mirror remained completely still.
He Chong's eyes widened in fury, his voice turning sinister. The lake-like shadow beneath him began to boil, from which countless ghostly spirits emerged, suicidally charging towards the myriad ghostly lights. He then said:
" Nether Gloom Elder, the Master has bestowed you upon me!"
"The sect leader's affairs are of utmost importance. If you mess this up, be careful with your head!"
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow as he listened to his self-talk, because suddenly someone sighed softly beside him, like an old man talking to himself in the middle of the night, or like the sigh of an old ghost in the underworld.
Immediately afterwards, the Demonic Mirror suddenly shone with a bright purple light, unleashing even greater power. For a moment, it broke free from the suppression of the [ Fallen Toad Light ] and released streams of purple-black light, finally giving He Chong a chance to catch his breath.
Chen Shuangbai's jade-like eyes shimmered, reflecting an old man clad in Ziyi robes. This old man emerged from the mirror and landed beside it. His eyes had no pupils, only an eerie purple hue. He looked up at the vast, boundless Azure Nether Dharma Body and sighed.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"
It was the spirit of this High-Grade Law Treasure, Law Treasure Dark Nether Gloomy Light Mirror ].
Spirit Artifact possess spirits, Law Treasure possess primordial spirits.
That's all.
The spirit of the magical Law Treasure called Nether Gloom Elder raised its hand and pointed at Chen Shuangbai's Dharma body. The mirror behind him then emitted a bright purple light once more, and streaks of dark light emerged from it, transforming into hundreds of purplish-black ghost hands. These hands easily broke free from the restraints of the [ Fallen Toad Light ] and rushed up, tightly binding Azure Nether Dharma Body.
These purplish-black demonic hands, resembling vines, once attached, took deep root in the Dharma Body like blood-sucking vines, continuously drawing upon its power to strengthen themselves. In almost an instant, they were about to spread to the head of the Dharma Body.
Nether Gloom Elder looked at Chen Shuangbai, sighed again, and said:
"Old man, I see you are a man of talent. How about you join my Transformation Sect today?"
"Otherwise, this old man wouldn't be suffering so easily from this [ Heart-Eroding Bewildering Divine Light ]!"
Chen Shuangbai's true form was within this Azure Nether Dharma Body, and purplish-black marks also appeared on his arms, one after another, like ghostly hands or venomous pythons. Wherever they passed, there was a burning pain, and the mournful howls of ghosts could be heard in his ears. Multiple phantoms also appeared before his eyes, showing that he was indeed extraordinary.
only...
Chen Shuangbai chuckled softly. Suddenly, a golden light emanated from her left wrist, absorbing and releasing a massive amount of spiritual energy. This caused the previously confident Nether Gloom Elder to become even more solemn.
"Wait, you have one too..."
Before he could finish speaking, a streak of azure light shot out from the right hand of the Azure Nether Dharma Body. Its speed was unprecedented and rare. He Chong only felt a flash of rainbow light before his eyes, followed by a severe blow to his mind. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and his vitality immediately weakened.
Even earlier, the mournful howls of the Nether Gloom Elder rang in my ears.
On the smooth, perfect surface of the [ Dark Nether Gloomy Light Mirror ], a crack had appeared at some point, with streaks of golden light still remaining on the crack, revealing the power of suppression and refinement.
He Chong suddenly looked up at Chen Shuangbai.
Then, the Azure Nether Dharma Body extended its left hand, in which a golden jade ring slowly rotated. The ring was made entirely of emerald jade, with countless densely packed mantras for subduing demons floating around its outer ring. Inside, there were streaks of golden light, like golden dragons, slowly rotating and bursting forth with magnificent golden and jade-like light, dazzling and so bright that it hurt the eyes to look at it.
High-Grade Law Treasure, [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ].
He Chong was shocked and said in disbelief, "You actually have... no, you can actually fully control a Law Treasure... didn't you just condense your Golden Core?"
Chen Shuangbai revealed a cruel smile, and the [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ] shone brightly, disappearing from the palm of his Dharma Body.
The Nether Gloom Elder transformed into a streak of purple light and entered the Treasure Mirror of His True Form. He immediately shifted and moved, seemingly trying to evade the attack of the Golden Jade Ring. However, the Ring relentlessly pursued him. For a moment, the two beams of light converged in the sky, colliding and scattering countless colorful lights.
He Chong stared blankly as the golden jade ring chased after the [ Dark Nether Gloomy Light Mirror ], which he relied on, soaring through the heavens and plunging into the earth. He was initially bewildered, but quickly realized what was happening and was greatly alarmed.
He disregarded everything, flicked his sleeve, and nine black shadows emerged from it. The nine curved blades suddenly expanded, bursting forth with boundless colors, almost shattering, and then fell violently behind him.
Then, without looking back, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled towards the Xu Kingdom.
At that very moment, Chen Shuangbai's voice appeared in his ears like a nightmare. Although it was clear and bright, it sounded more like a demon demanding his life.
"Escape? Why are you fleeing, sir?"
He Chong remained silent and continued to flee.
Chen Shuangbai manipulated the Azure Nether Dharma Body, his two giant hands clasped together, forming a mysterious Law Seals. A point of crimson light suddenly emerged from the Law Seals, which was very dazzling and full of ferocity.
The crimson light spread rapidly, transforming into a crimson hook, like a single crimson eye in the dark night sky, highlighting its unpredictable, eerie, and ferocious nature, inspiring awe in those who beheld it.
