Karmic Fortune Flows Smoothly

Zhang Xuezhou had imagined many times the time when he would fight the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to the death.

He and Yao Yuanguang traced the river of time back to its source, and most of the details had faded from memory, but Zhang Xuezhou roughly estimated how much time he had left.

The current time is a few years earlier than he estimated.

Unexpected events undoubtedly brought the timeline forward.

The first clues may have been there when A-Qiao helped him unlock the flaws in the Yang-sealing Law Power.

Zhang Xuezhou reacted very quickly. He entrusted the Zhuang family's Law Treasure cloth, which was powerful enough to obliterate him Divine Lord Zhenyuan, and even if he asked for it back, he could not take it back.

Further on, it seemed to involve the sinkholes of North Rehe. Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou felt that something in his memory had become blurry. He couldn't remember the details, but the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, whose information was completely blocked, would undoubtedly find it unbearable.

The third matter concerns the spiritual spring at the innermost level of the Lingshan Wind Cave.

His physical body was reduced to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old, and the soul of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was also suffering every day.

If the transformation were not performed at a fixed time, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon would likely have dissolved in the spiritual spring.

Zhang Xuezhou, his spirit surging, relentlessly rammed and struck that young face.

Occasionally, cracks would appear on the young face engulfed in flames, emanating an endless chill.

"You can't do it!"

Just as Jiang Qi's Ba Snake body and Ao Shenglong's dragon body were intertwined and locked in combat, Zhang Xuezhou and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's three souls and seven spirits were also entangled and killing each other.

Zhang Xuezhou has no special abilities in terms of his three souls and seven spirits; he can only rely on his spiritual power to constantly cultivate and improve himself to withstand the challenges.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon can unleash flames and carry the chilling aura brought by the spiritual spring.

Flames and ice constantly appeared within the three souls and seven spirits of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, with two completely different forces clashing and destroying each other.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was indeed in an extremely difficult situation. Perhaps it hadn't been awake for long, or perhaps it had sensed Zhang Xuezhou's various actions, or perhaps its soul had been rejuvenated and was no longer as sluggish as its old body. The demon then launched an attack to annihilate and kill it.

While Zhang Xuezhou was fighting back with all his might, he could only do everything he could to endure until the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon weakened due to internal reasons at some point, or even collapsed.

"Are you hoping for destruction from the clash between that spiritual spring and my habits? But you'll be disappointed. Even if my three souls and seven spirits are disrupted, it will be enough to obliterate you. Once I take you to replenish my deficiencies, the symptoms of my three souls and seven spirits will surely subside!"

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's face was young yet indifferent, and his words were as cold as a knife.

"If you hadn't used that spiritual spring to stimulate me and rekindle my youthful bloodlust, you might have survived for a few more years. But now, I can't tolerate you!"

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon spoke coldly, the chilling energy emanating from the cracks in its head contracting and transforming into the heat of an endless furnace, directly engulfing Zhang Xuezhou's body.

"You've outsmarted yourself. If you hadn't used the Cold Spring to harm me, perhaps you could still have relied on the 'Entangling Dragon and Pillar True Fire Refining Golden Body' technique to slowly struggle within my flames. Now, with the alternation of hot and cold, the possibility of entangling is gone!"

"The Cold Spring can achieve true reincarnation, but unfortunately you resist it too much, otherwise you would have already achieved a true rebirth!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded calmly.

The burning and icy sensations emanating from his three souls and seven spirits did not cause him to reveal the slightest emotion.

Zhang Xuezhou could even sense the Xuanming's energy being consumed and disappearing as it was attached to the three souls and seven spirits.

In such a contest, any fear or panic would be of no help. Even though he was not as powerful as the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou did not think of retreating an inch. While they were locked in a fierce battle, he continued to try his best to disrupt his opponent.

"The Sect Master Jieyin came from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and was reborn, inheriting almost everything from the past. He has once again become the Grand Master of the Western Sect, while you have missed a golden opportunity," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It's just a nurturing and reincarnation pool born from the essence of heaven and earth of this world," the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon said. "You've never seen anything good before, yet you treat it like a treasure!"

"Then you'd be better off fighting me than just recklessly eroding things like this," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"What do you think we're standing on?" the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon replied. "And what do you think that reincarnation pool gave rise to?"

"You can tell me!"

"You know nothing, yet you try to seduce and mislead me with your words; this only makes you a laughingstock!"

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon replied coldly.

Zhang Xuezhou's words seem almost magical, repeatedly leading people into traps. However, Zhang Xuezhou's ability to manipulate people is largely due to his different worldview and access to more information than others.

Now that his knowledge is inferior to that of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, his words seem laughable.

"That kind of scum, the Sect Master Jieyin... Humph!"

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon clearly looked down on the Sect Master Jieyin, who was born in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, but they were unwilling to point out his shortcomings.

The other party's cold snort reminded Zhang Xuezhou of his own meager abilities.

He muttered incantations, and his three souls and seven spirits shone with a bright red glow, and flames began to rise.

Compared to the burning methods of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou's ability to condense mental power using the Heart Sutra is not impressive, but it is the only method he can currently use.

In this area where tree chairs were being exchanged, Zhang Xuezhou's various methods were all ineffective, including the alternation of sun and moon derived from the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, which was difficult to use.

Lacking a physical body and trapped in this strange space, Zhang Xuezhou was at his wit's end.

This is somewhat similar to the concept of "tracing battles," where each individual can only rely on the abilities of their three souls and seven spirits, and cultivating these abilities is an extremely difficult task.

Zhang Xuezhou abandoned his ineffective verbal sparring and began reciting the Heart Sutra repeatedly, his soul and spirit burning with fervor.

"Very well, you've indeed learned a new skill. We really can't let you live!"

Zhang Xuezhou's repeated attempts to speak were nothing but a joke in the eyes of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon. Only when Zhang Xuezhou demonstrated his abilities did a hint of anger appear in his cold voice.

"Not only have I learned new skills, but I'm also incredibly resilient right now. I'd like to see if you can devour me!"

The psychic energy emitted a crimson glow, and flames continued to rise. These flames were difficult to burn the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but the continuous burning had a neutralizing effect.

Just as magnetic fields can cancel each other out to a certain extent, the scorching and eroding flames of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon are constantly countered by the radiance of their psychic power.

Zhang Xuezhou felt much less pressure and was no longer forced to rely solely on the mental strength of his three souls and seven spirits as before.

To be honest, he was just a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm. Facing a world-class cultivator like the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, he was indeed somewhat powerless, and his methods were also inadequate, with no particularly effective means.

Fortunately for Zhang Xuezhou, his opponent was indeed in very poor condition.

The icy spring of Ling Mountain had a devastating effect, breaking the opponent's defenses. Even though it was difficult to control Zhang Xuezhou's physical body, the opponent still wanted to kill him.

"It's only a matter of time before I devour you. Just wait and see," the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon said coldly.

"If I were to be in a period of good fortune right now, what means would you use to resist?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Good fortune? Hmph, it's useless here!"

"Teacher, I'm barely holding on, and I've even started to fight back! Please show yourself and help me!"

When the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon snorted coldly, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but shout.

As a shadow appeared, the young, aloof face of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon paled slightly.
