The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1729 - 1725: Fierce Fight

Nie Caizhu saw Master Yan collapse to the ground and quickly used the divine technique "Crossing Lifelong." A green light pierced into Master Yan’s body, forming a green halo around him that pulsated rapidly.

The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi in the surroundings converged like tides, merging into his body and transforming into mana.

Master Yan’s mana quickly recovered. By the time the effect of "Crossing Lifelong" wore off, his mana had already regained nearly half, and he turned over and stood up, ready to express his gratitude.

Nie Caizhu cast "Crossing Lifelong" again and, without waiting for its effect, immediately shot toward the next array eye.

"I must also support other places. Daoist Yan, take care," the Mirror Fiend said to Master Yan before transforming into a blue figure and flying into the surrounding silver starlight.

The two doppelgangers of Master Yan gradually dissipated and disappeared shortly after.

Master Yan stared at the vanishing doppelgangers with flickering thoughts.

For most monks, using the Mirror Fiend’s divine ability to create avatars could at best slightly increase their combat strength, and its overall significance was rather limited. However, this was not the case for Master Yan.

The prohibition on Yanyi armors differs greatly from typical magical treasures. It has a unique master-recognition trait that, when controlled, only accepts a single Divine Soul Crystal Thread and refuses to respond to others.

This ensures the safety of the Yanyi armors, preventing external influences during operations.

However, this trait has a downside. Once used by a particular Yan master, the armor’s power depends entirely on the master and cannot be commandeered by others.

The Mirror Fiend’s doppelgangers, just now, had Divine Soul traits identical to Master Yan’s, which astonishingly allowed them to influence the Sixteen Buddhas Yanzhen.

The power a Yanyi armor can wield depends, on one hand, on the master’s control skills, and on the other, on the master’s soul strength.

Since external assistance is futile, every bit of soul strength is extraordinarily precious to Yan masters.

Master Yan could sense that the soul strength of those two mirror-image doppelgangers was roughly one-tenth of his own. If he could gain an extra 20% of soul strength and use it properly, he could enhance the power of the Sixteen Buddhas Yanzhen by half.

Moreover, judging by the Mirror Fiend’s earlier display, creating two doppelgangers was clearly not her limit. If more doppelgangers could be summoned, he might be able to multiply the power of the Yanyi armors several times over.

"I heard Shen Luo mention that the Mirror Fiend is his spiritual pet. Such a shame..." Master Yan’s expression shifted, and he sighed softly.

He immediately rallied his spirits and continued guarding the array eye.

...

At the array eye Lu Huaming was guarding, blue, yellow, and blood-colored figures intertwined in fierce combat. The forms and appearances of the combatants were indiscernible amidst the chaos, overshadowed by deafening sounds of clashing.

The fierce battle abruptly ceased as the blood-colored figure fell from mid-air. The figure was Su Xiao, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his body tainted with multiple wounds, appearing battered and exhausted.

Opposite him, two silhouettes emerged—it was Lu Huaming and the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

"Judging by Your Excellency’s aura, you seem to be a master of the Corpse Demon lineage. Why are you assisting these human cultivators?" Su Xiao asked with a grim expression, his voice thunderous.

The Sky Fiend Corpse King ignored him, transforming into a yellow shadow and launching another attack. The Turn Sky Seal spun rapidly, expanding to the size of a palace, crashing down like a descending meteor.

On the side, Lu Huaming transformed back into a state of "wrath," his face enraged as he drove Frost Cold Nine Realms forward. Azure sword qi twisted like dragons and snakes, unleashing countless blue sword shadows that blanketed the heavens, surging toward Su Xiao like an endless sword curtain.

"Since you seek death, I shall oblige!" Su Xiao’s eyes flashed with fury as blood radiated from his body. He unleashed all the demon power within him and the power of the Fox Ancestor obtained through ancestral reversion.

Blood shimmered in his eyes as seven blood-colored fox tails appeared behind him. Each tail emitted horrifying waves of demon power.

Su Xiao formed incantations with both hands, causing the seven blood-colored fox tails to transform into seven massive crimson arms, which simultaneously struck viciously at the Sky Fiend Corpse King and Lu Huaming.

The void ahead of the two roared as seven blood-colored giant palms, each as large as a mountain, appeared out of thin air. They collided fiercely with the Turn Sky Seal and the boundless sword shadows.

After a cataclysmic explosion, the myriad sword shadows dissipated entirely. Lu Huaming, along with his sword, was hurled away, while the Turn Sky Seal remained steadfast, locked in a stalemate with the seven giant palms. Waves of red blood glow clashed violently.

Su Xiao’s lips curled into a conspiratorial sneer as his hand seals changed. The seven blood-colored giant palms suddenly exploded, transforming into six blinding spheres of blood light which then merged together.

Amidst thunderous echoes, a bloody vortex appeared out of nowhere. Enveloping the Turn Sky Seal, it expanded to several acres in size.

The Sky Fiend Corpse King hurried to summon the Turn Sky Seal back. However, the bloody vortex rotated like rolling tides, releasing a colossal force that firmly imprisoned the Turn Sky Seal, rendering it immovable.

"Without that seal, let’s see what tricks you have left!" Su Xiao laughed manically, his expression faintly deranged. The seven blood-colored palms behind him clenched into fists, slamming furiously into the void toward the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

Above the Sky Fiend Corpse King’s head, blood light flickered, and seven house-sized blood fists suddenly materialized, crashing downward.

A torrential force descended from the skies, pressing the Sky Fiend Corpse King’s body down. The nearby void twisted slightly, emitting resounding hums as if it was about to collapse.

The Sky Fiend Corpse King’s eyes flashed with peculiar light as his bent body suddenly emitted a layer of sparkling yellow radiance. In the next instant, his figure became ethereal, passing straight through one of the blood fists and shooting rapidly toward Su Xiao.

"Voidization Divine Power!" Su Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth as he formed seals with both hands.

The seven arms behind him glowed and reverted into fox tails, each shooting a thick beam of blood light that merged into one, forming a massive blood-colored light group that fell into his hands.

Su Xiao also spat out a mouthful of blood flames that melded into the blood-colored light group, causing it to rumble and condense into a blood-colored demon spear several meters long.

The spear burned with blood-colored flames, existing precariously between the real and the illusory. Its tip split into two, each engraved with a ferocious fox head, exuding an eerie malevolence.

Su Xiao’s expression turned savage. With a flick of his wrist, the blood-colored demon spear let out a piercing shriek and shot forward.

The blood light flashed, and the grotesque spear appeared before the Sky Fiend Corpse King with lightning speed, stabbing downward.

Behind the Sky Fiend Corpse King, golden light sparkled as golden wings emerged from nowhere, radiating dazzlingly and instantly vanishing from the spot, leaving the demon spear to strike empty air.

"Heavenly Assassin Golden Wings!" Su Xiao exclaimed in surprise, then quickly opened his mouth to emit a sharp screech.

The blood-colored demon spear spun rapidly, returning to him like a flash.

But the Sky Fiend Corpse King moved faster, materializing behind Su Xiao and unleashing five streaks of golden claws with devastatingly sharp energy aimed at Su Xiao’s head.

The golden wings also fired countless sword-like golden rays, enveloping Su Xiao’s body entirely.
