Chapter 293: I Have a Path to the Heavens Too
Chapter 293: I Have a Path to the Heavens Too
Strange!
Qing couldn't discern much due to her low cultivation level.
But Wan Yun Xu, already at the pinnacle of the Mixed Element Realm, was one of the closest cultivators to the Spirit Creation Realm.
In her eyes, this suddenly appearing old monster was exceedingly bizarre.
The aura he exuded was clearly at the Mixed Element Realm.
However, the vines connecting him to the mountain seemed to merge with it, allowing him to step into a higher realm in an incomprehensible manner.
Though it was just a single step away, the difference was like heaven and earth.
How could there be such a Spirit Creation cultivator?
At this moment, as the Decayed Elder made his first move, Wan Yun felt immense pressure, a sense of powerlessness as her cultivation realm was suppressed.
And this was as a mere bystander.
Not to mention the youth enveloped by the withered tree.
Just then, a torrential purple-gold flame burst from the gaps in the withered tree, staining the sky with its hue and might, as if it would incinerate the entire mountain range.
But strangely, the terrifying heat soon vanished.
The purple-gold flames coiled like dragons, becoming invisible.
In an instant, Wan Yun's eyes widened.
She sensed a second Spirit Creation aura.
The Decayed Elder suddenly seemed flustered and tried to let go, but his forearm instantly turned into charcoal.
The withered tree quickly withdrew, revealing the thin figure within.
Shen Yi stood in mid-air, the surging purple flames replaced by nine colorless yet fiery wheels of the sun.
"...”
Both were at the Mixed Element Realm, yet they possessed the might of the Spirit Creation Realm.
Wan Yun felt like she was cultivating something entirely different from these two.
How could they wield the power of heaven and earth in such a way?
"Huh."
Shen Yi swallowed the demon pill, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.
Then, he took a step forward, treading on the retreating withered tree.
The Decayed Elder watched helplessly as Shen Yi caught the youth.
Then, the youth slowly raised his hand.
Immolating Heart Palm!
A Spirit Creation technique manifested from the palm of a Mid Mixed Element cultivator.
His slender fingers pressed against the elder's forehead.
The colorless sun instantly enveloped the elder, melting his shriveled skin and the wooden body beneath, turning it into char.
The elder's mouth hung open, his expression one of misery.
Instinctively, he looked behind him, seeing the colorless flames raging along the vines, burning towards the depths of the mountain range.
Just then, the vines suddenly severed themselves.
Fear appeared on the elder's face, burned by the Immolating Heart flames, as his path to the heavens abandoned him so easily.
Shen Yi didn't even spare the elder a glance.
He stepped over the falling body, his black shirt fluttering as he followed the retreating vines.
For some reason, Qing suddenly saw a hint of calm and composure in Shen Yi.
The fallen elder hadn't breathed his last yet.
With difficulty, he formed an incantation with his hands.
This familiar movement caused Qing's heart to tighten.
But she noticed that Shen Yi still didn't turn back, as if his eyes only saw the fleeing vines.
Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!
In an instant, endless bird cries resounded throughout the mountain estate, sharp and piercing.
Vivid spiritual light transformed into multicolored spirit birds, filling the sky as they charged towards the figure in ink-black clothes with boundless might!
Almost simultaneously,
Dazzling golden light erupted.
An immensely majestic and noble figure quietly appeared behind Shen Yi.
The sinister patterns on its spine were too intimidating to look at directly.
The Golden Body Dharma Form turned towards the hundred birds indifferently, waved its hand, and a golden dragon roared out, swallowing several spirit birds in one bite.
She had suspected that the senior cultivator's hasty departure during their previous encounter was somehow related to Shen Yi. Now, with his reappearance, her suspicions were confirmed.
"..." Wan Yun Xu blinked, her pupils contracting slightly.
Just based on Shen Yi's earlier actions, it was clear that this Nascent Soul cultivator was definitely not his "senior." Instead, he seemed to be more like a guardian figure.
No wonder he hadn't shown any signs of panic. He had a Nascent Soul cultivator as his bodyguard!
Just what kind of background did he come from? Even the Immortal Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty might not be able to afford such an arrangement.
Facing the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix formation, which the Xu family was proud of, this true Nascent Soul cultivator made it seem utterly powerless.
The golden body dharma form easily scattered the spiritual birds that could casually annihilate Mixed Element Realm cultivators, and even had the spare capacity to crush the already charred body of the Decayed Elder into smithereens with a single stomp.
...
Deep within the mountain range, just as the vine was about to retract into the ground, a boot firmly landed on top of it.
Shen Yi bent down and grabbed hold of the vine, then yanked it with force!
Boom—
The mountain peaks and giant boulders collapsed, and even the mountain ridge caved in.
Shen Yi watched as the vine in his hand rapidly withered, his eyes flashing with a keen light. Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint spiritual light.
In the next moment, he vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of a stone wall.
A spiritual branch about three feet tall had already taken on a human form and was frantically trying to pull its legs out of the ground. It then turned and tried to flee for its life.
However, it collided directly with someone's leg.
It sat down with a crack, looking up to see a tall and slender figure standing before it.
The youth's expression was indifferent, his entire body shrouded in a violent red aura.
The remaining eight colorless sun wheels quietly surrounded the spiritual branch.
Feeling the temperature that could melt it at any moment, the branch trembled with fear and backed away towards the stone wall, its whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"Ya... Let... Let me... go..." it whimpered, its voice like that of an infant.
The youth slowly walked forward, crouched down in front of it, and extended his palm.
"Come, I also have a path to the heavens." Shen Yi's expression was calm, but to the spiritual branch, it was as if he were a devil incarnate.
It desperately wanted to escape with its life, but the youth showed no intention of letting it go and seemed intent on consuming it.
However, under the gaze of those eyes, filled with a red mist, it couldn't even bring itself to resist.
Its hand was forcibly held, and then tendrils of red light wrapped around it like tentacles, slowly enveloping it.
"..."
Shen Yi closed his eyes, sensing the vicious and evil aura emanating from the spiritual branch.
Such a malevolent and sinister being was indeed rare.
He opened his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed within them.
The spiritual branch, now named Su Mu, desperately tried to break free from the youth's palm, but the crimson tendrils only tightened their grip, slowly eroding away at its own aura.
Was he going to eat it alive? Shen Yi gently patted its head, not wanting to scare away its nascent sentience.
The next moment, the panel appeared.
The demon's lifespan was directly channeled into the Devouring technique of the Heaven Swallowing Pill.
Shen Yi began to forcibly infuse his own aura into Su Mu.
As the demon's lifespan rapidly depleted, Su Mu's consciousness gradually became hazy, and the last thing it saw was itself being merged into the youth's body.
