The Hidden Watcher and the New "Spirit-Seizing Great Art"
The Locust Mountain God saw that even the Heavenly Ghost King, Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert, couldn't save him.
Even his Primordial Spirit clone was annihilated by Liu Yi, leaving him terrified and his soul scattered on the spot.
It dared not hesitate for even a moment, disregarding its already severe injuries and the fact that it was only half alive.
In a panic, it pulled up the deeply embedded tree roots and tried to escape, repeatedly begging for mercy:
"My lord, spare my life! I will never dare to devour A Mortal again. I am willing to surrender to you and become your lackey."
"I don't need a bloodthirsty wretch like you as my dog. My Little Yellow is a hundred times better than you. You should just die."
Liu Yi's tone was indifferent, showing no sign of wavering, as he raised his hand and slapped the table.
A Five Elements Palm suddenly condensed, covering the sky like a canopy, carrying a world-destroying power, and struck directly at the already seriously injured Locust Mountain God.
When the Locust Mountain God saw the Five Elements Giant Palm reappear, he sensed that he was completely locked on and had no chance to dodge.
Filled with despair, it could only muster all its strength, unleashing a torrent of demonic Yao Qi.
The remaining tree roots danced wildly, all aimed at the Five Elements Palm, attempting to block this fatal blow.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the tree roots snapped and vanished inch by inch under the towering giant hand.
The next moment, the Locust Mountain God was crushed into dust by the five giant palms, his soul scattered.
"Boom!"
The lingering force of the Five Elements Palm struck directly onto the mountain.
The continuous mountain range could not withstand the attack and collapsed with a roar, with countless rocks rolling down and dust billowing into the sky.
Liu Yi spread out his Divine Sense, carefully searching the surrounding world, especially the soil below, which he examined repeatedly.
He must be wary that the Locust Mountain God might leave behind tree roots to prevent its resurrection.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he locked onto five remaining tree roots hidden deep in the soil.
Almost instantly, he raised his hand and threw five punches at the ground.
The Five Elements Fist's force forcefully pierced through layers of soil and gravel, striking the tree roots precisely and pulverizing them completely.
He vaguely heard a few weak screams.
Liu Yi smiled faintly, secretly glad that he had searched carefully just now; otherwise, he might have given the other party a chance to survive.
He then used the Principle of Cause and Effect to search again, and only after confirming that nothing had been missed did he nod in satisfaction.
Su Yuxuan stared in disbelief as Liu Yi effortlessly annihilated the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm Locust Mountain God.
In her previous life, she had only just reached the Dao Integration Realm after exhausting all her efforts. Now, witnessing a powerful figure of the same realm being so easily annihilated, she was inevitably shocked and momentarily lost in thought.
Seeing that Liu Yi had easily dealt with the Locust Mountain God, Little Yellow immediately flew to him, wagging its tail and excitedly shouting:
"Master! You're incredibly powerful now! You can even easily destroy a great demon at the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm."
Liu Yi nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the distant horizon, a flash of golden light appearing in his eyes, and said in a loud voice:
"Fellow Daoist, you have been spying here for quite some time. What is your purpose? Why not show yourself?"
He hadn't been fighting the Locust Mountain God for long when he sensed someone spying on him from the shadows.
At first, he thought the other party was an accomplice of the mountain god, but since the other party remained inactive, he put the matter aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, even after the death of the Locust Mountain God, the person in the shadows still made no move.
He couldn't fathom the other person's thoughts, unsure whether they had ulterior motives or were merely curious.
Su Yuxuan and Little Yellow were both startled by Liu Yi's words and quickly looked in the same direction as him.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jingxing was startled, not expecting his whereabouts to be exposed so easily.
But upon further reflection, he quickly reassured himself: if the other party could so easily annihilate a Peak of the Dao Integration Realm demon,
He could even easily kill the Primordial Spirit clone of the Heavenly Ghost King, a powerful figure in the Yin-Yang Ruins.
Even he himself couldn't resolve them so easily, so it's understandable that the other party could detect his spying.
However, the other party clearly possessed the Five Elements Spirit Root, yet was able to cultivate to the Void Return Realm (Dao Soul Realm).
To possess such terrifying combat power, such talent and strength, is truly astonishing.
His mind raced, and his figure slowly materialized from the void.
Yang Jingxing, with a gentle smile on his face, cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly skilled. I Yang Jingxing."
I was just passing by when I noticed some fighting going on, so I came to investigate. I meant no harm.
Liu Yi looked up and sized up Yang Jingxing, who was wearing a five-colored Daoist robe, and found that the other party actually had the cultivation of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and it seemed that he had already reached the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Sensing that the other party meant no harm, and not wanting to make an enemy unnecessarily, he smiled faintly and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
"I thought it was an enemy spying in the shadows, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding. I am Liu Yi, greetings to Fellow Daoist Yang."
Seeing Liu Yi's calm attitude, Yang Jingxing smiled and nodded, then slightly changed the subject:
"Fellow Daoist Liu is incredibly powerful; he can even easily kill the Primordial Spirit avatar of the Heavenly Ghost King, a powerful figure in the Yin-Yang Ruins."
However, fellow Daoist, you must be careful. This Heavenly Ghost King is extremely vengeful; those who offend him never have a good ending.
Liu Yi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting that the Heavenly Ghost King was a powerful overlord of the Yin-Yang Ruins.
I'm going to Yin-Yang Ruins soon, which means I might have to face them.
However, with his current strength, he could deal with the Heavenly Ghost King, even though he was powerful.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Yang," Liu Yi said, bowing with his hands clasped in thanks.
Yang Jingxing flipped his hand, took out a Jade Slip, and gently tossed it aside:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, although you are strong, you only have the Five Elements Spirit Root."
This Jade Slip contains a Cultivation Method that can improve one's aptitude for immortality; consider it an apology for what happened earlier.
This humble Daoist priest must take his leave now.
As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Liu Yi, opened a spatial portal leading to the Yin-Yang Ruins, and flashed inside.
Liu Yi held the Jade Slip slip between his fingertips, making sure there was no hidden danger before he felt comfortable probing it with his Divine Sense.
When he saw that the Jade Slip contained the "Spirit-Seizing Great Art," and that this version of the Cultivation Method was far more profound and mysterious than any he had obtained before, he was astonished.
This current version of the Cultivation Method can directly integrate the acquired Heavenly Spirit Root into one's own Spirit Root, greatly reducing the repulsion between Spirit Root.
With his Five Elements Spirit Root, if he could acquire the five Heavenly Spirit Root of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth,
By integrating each of these elements into one's own Spirit Root, one can truly cultivate the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root.
"Genius! What a genius!"
Although he created Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, he never thought of merging it with his own original Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root Spirit Root.
However, he was too lazy to waste his energy figuring out the specific method of integrating the Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root into his own Spirit Root.
In any case, there are already enough Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root available now, so there's no need to waste time and energy.
The original purpose of creating Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root was to infiltrate various cultivation sects, not to genuinely enhance their strength.
But who exactly created this new version of the "Spirit-Seizing Great Art"?
Who exactly is Yang Jingxing, the man we just spoke to?
