Yinfeng Falls, Sword Pointed at the Law
Beyond the desolate mountains, a chilling wind howled.
The Old Ghost Yinfeng, who had been lurking in the shadows, now had eyes full of greed and ferocity. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened in the cave, the earth-shattering stellar phenomenon he had just witnessed, even with the array covering it, had still revealed a trace of its aura.
"An unparalleled treasure! Absolutely an unparalleled treasure!"
Old Ghost Yinfeng licked his chapped lips, his Late-Stage Mystic Immortal cultivation already poised to strike.
"That kid's been inside for so long, he must have been refining some treasure. Even if he doesn't die now, he'll be badly injured! It's the perfect time for me to reap the rewards!"
Just then, the protective light from the cave entrance One Flash.
A figure in green robes walked out calmly.
The moon was shining Dongfang Yueming.
"Hehehe! Kid, hand over the treasure you got inside!"
The Old Ghost Yinfeng no longer concealed itself; its figure appeared out of thin air like a phantom, blocking the way. With a flick of its withered hand, the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted to freezing.
"I've been watching you all this way! If you know what's good for you, hand over your storage ring and the treasure that caused the strange phenomenon, and I might take pity on you and make you my ghost slave!"
Dongfang Yueming raised her eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.
That look in his eyes was like a dragon looking down at a snarling ant.
"Following me all this way, you must have had a hard time. Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."
"Arrogant!"
The Old Ghost Yinfeng was furious. How dare this mere youth who had only recently ascended to immortality be so insolent before him, a seasoned Mystic Immortal?
"You won't listen to reason, so here comes the punishment! I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
"Mid-grade Daoist Technique - [Nine Nether Bone-Eroding Yin Wind]!"
He formed a hand seal and pushed forward forcefully!
"Waaaaah--!"
The world instantly darkened, and a terrifying, pitch-black wind, exuding a nauseating stench, transformed into a ferocious black dragon, roaring as it charged toward the Dongfang Yueming!
This yin wind is extremely vicious. Once it touches a mid-grade Dao artifact, it will lose its spiritual power, and the physical body of Mystic Immortal will turn into pus in an instant!
However.
Faced with an attack that would strike fear into the hearts of cultivators of the same level, Dongfang Yueming did not even stop walking.
He simply gave a soft hum.
"Roll."
Within his body, the newly formed [Innate Supreme Dao Seed] trembled slightly.
A terrifying aura of supreme power and dominion over all things was leaked out in just a trace.
"Boom--!"
That ferocious black dragon of yin wind, when it was still three zhang away from Dongfang Yueming, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of divine law!
Collapsed instantly!
Collapse!
Vanish into nothingness!
"Wh... what?!"
The sinister smile on Old Ghost Yinfeng's face froze instantly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
"What... what kind of power is this?!"
"My mid-grade Daoist technique... can't even get close?!"
Before he could react, a large, crystal-clear hand pierced through the Xukong and grabbed his neck!
It's like pinching a little chick.
"Snap!"
The sound of a neck bone cracking rang out.
The Old Ghost Yinfeng struggled in terror, only to find that his Mystic Immortal power was being suppressed by that giant hand, and he couldn't mobilize even a trace of it!
"Spare... spare my life..."
"Soul Search."
Dongfang Yueming's eyes were icy cold, and his immense Divine Sense instantly surged into the other party's Sea of Consciousness.
"Ah--!"
A piercing scream echoed across the wilderness, but it quickly ceased.
A moment later, the Old Ghost Yinfeng's eyes lost focus, and he collapsed limply to the ground, dead.
Dongfang Yueming casually put away his storage ring, but his brows furrowed slightly.
"I see..."
Through soul searching, he learned an astonishing secret.
This Old Ghost Yinfeng actually participated in a secret operation called "Hunt the Light".
That was a dirty deal made in private by the frontline leaders of the two great immortal dynasties— the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty and the Purple Flame Immortal Dynasty!
Both sides leaked the whereabouts and routes of their scouts and squads to the other side for ambushes, thus gaining military merits and political capital and cultivation resources for each other!
In the memories of the Old Ghost Yinfeng, the superiors in charge of making contact were none other than... important figures from the Golden Immortal Realm!
"The Golden Immortal is involved..."
"Perhaps... there are even ' Immortal Soldier ' who have mastered the laws behind the scenes, pulling the strings?"
A cold glint flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
This is no war; it's clearly a bloody game built on the lives of lowly cultivators!
"However, fortunately..."
He looked at his panel, and a smile returned to his lips.
"Strength is the foundation of everything."
The insights gained from soul searching, combined with previous accumulation.
[Ding! Progress of deduction for "Origin Immortal Art: Mystic Immortal Chapter": 96%...100%!]
[Ding! Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Golden Immortal Chapter" deduction: 7%...14%!]
"The Mystic Immortal Chapter Perfection!"
Dongfang Yueming sat down cross-legged and brought up the attribute panel.
[Immortal Points: 605989]
[Cultivation Technique: Origin Immortal Art - Mystic Immortal Chapter (0/10800, Not Yet Entry)]
Let's begin!
"Point Allocation!"
[Ding! 10800 Immortal Points consumed, advancing to the Mystic Immortal First Level!]
Boom!
The Chaos Immortal Abode within his body expanded once more, and the [Innate Supreme Dao Seed] began to emit wisps of Daoist charm, nourishing his Primordial Spirit and physical body.
A profound and mysterious feeling welled up in his heart, as if the rules of this world had become clearer in his eyes.
[Ding! 10800 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Second Level!][Ding! 10800 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Third Level!]
[Ding! 16200 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Fourth Level!][Ding! 16200 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Fifth Level!][Ding! 16200 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Sixth Level!]
[Ding! 24300 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Seventh Level!][Ding! 24300 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Eighth Level!][Ding! 24300 Immortal Points consumed, Mystic Immortal Ninth Level!]
As his cultivation level soared, the aura emanating from Dongfang Yueming became increasingly ethereal, as if he were about to ascend to immortality at any moment.
at last--
[Ding! 36,000 Immortal Points consumed, Perfected Mystic Immortal!]
"Buzz--!!!"
An invisible wave emanated from him and spread outwards.
In that instant, Dongfang Yueming felt his Divine Sense touch a solid barrier.
Beyond the barrier lies a vast and boundless ocean of laws!
"Law..."
In a flash of inspiration, he instantly detected the Sharpness and most domineering aura among the myriad laws.
"Sword!"
If we're going to break it, let's use the sharpest sword!
At this moment, he chose to immerse himself in the Law of the Sword!
"Zheng--!"
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the heavens and earth!
Although he held no sword, he seemed to transform into a divine sword that reached the Heaven Reaching and the earth, radiating a sharpness that made people dare not look directly at him!
Millions of miles away, a patrol of soldiers from the Immortal Dynasty suddenly stopped and stared in horror in that direction.
"That... that is..."
"Law fluctuations?!"
"What terrifying sword intent! Could it be... that another ' Immortal Soldier ' has been born?!"
The team leader, Captain Golden Immortal, had a solemn expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"No! This aura... although it contains laws, its level doesn't seem to have reached the level of Immortal Soldier."
"Could it be...?"
He gasped.
"... A peerless genius who comprehended the laws before reaching the Golden Immortal Realm?!"
