第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百零三章 弃卒保车

The words of the master and servant duo seemed to treat him as a fish on a chopping board, subject to any slaughter. The Nine-Headed Elder Patriarch naturally felt furious at this. As an entity from the Separation and Union Realm, when had he ever endured such humiliation? However, despite his anger, after witnessing Little Moon's abilities, he dared not be careless.

With a flick of his sleeves,磅礴的妖力汹涌而出。

Having seen the fate of the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign, this old fellow wisely refrained from invoking天地元气. Indeed, the power within his body could be freely controlled, which greatly relieved him.

Clicks and pops filled his ears as his clothes were torn apart by the force, his form swelling to become a massive nine-headed snake.

Over a hundred feet long, its body was dark and glossy, with scales shimmering with light. Though it was a snake, its imposing presence made even dragons seem like ants in comparison. A fifth-stage妖族, this was his true form.

A large, luminous ball hung above the nine heads, casting an ominous aura. Summon!

With a flick of its tail and a wide opening of its mouth, it spat out nine light columns as thick as buckets. These columns suddenly split into smaller snakes mid-air.

Each snake was no more than a foot long but numbered in the tens of thousands, densely packed together.

The massive snake's presence visibly weakened, indicating that this secret technique wasn't easily performed. Hmph!

Little Moon paid no mind to it; despite being somewhat weak by nature, she seemed unbothered under the silver glow. The Elder Patriarch of Luo Family was correct—through spirit force induction, Little Moon indeed obtained some of her past life's power, but unlike Princess New Moon, this power was one-time and wouldn't affect her personality or strength. Unfortunately, using it reduced its availability.

Thus, while Little Moon appeared to be in the Condensation Core Stage, the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign met a humiliating defeat at her hands. With a sneer, she raised her left hand and pointed forward. "Break!"

Her lips slightly parted as she uttered a single word: "Break!" The surrounding sky suddenly changed; after the strange phenomena disappeared, it had been clear skies, but now, it turned strangely gloomy.

Dark clouds gathered, and snowflakes like goose feathers began to fall from the sky.

A blue light flashed, freezing countless魔snakes in ice.

Everyone was stunned. What kind of power was this?

Separation and Union Realm cultivators could initially manipulate天地元气, but only with their own cultivation techniques. For example, Elder Grandmaster of Tiansha Hailou Temple, Dream Ruyan, practiced the Drifting Cloud Snowfall Technique, a top-tier water attribute technique that could control water元气, especially in seas or lakes. However, she couldn't manipulate other elements.

When Little Moon pointed her hand, a faint silver glow appeared before freezing the魔snakes. The silver glow was of an undefined nature—neither earth, wood, fire, water, nor metal. It seemed to transcend the Five Elements. Could it be that this was legendary divine power?

The large snake's expression turned extremely ugly; he guessed right. Although the power left by the Deva King was only a fraction of its former glory, its nature was indeed divine, not bound by the Five Elements but able to control them.

"Little Moon, don't delay, fight!"

Although Lin Xuan couldn't move, his eyesight remained sharp. In terms of depth, he wasn’t inferior to the Elder Patriarch of Luo Family. Although Little Moon was in an advantageous position, her气势was weakening, and the silver glow around her body grew darker. Lin Xuan sensed something amiss but didn’t have time to think further; a fight decision was always right.

"Oh!" Little Moon was puzzled but obeyed her lord’s words. She changed her hand seals and prepared to unleash another killer technique.

The Elder Patriarch of Luo Family also transmitted a message to his descendants: "Everyone break the wax pills, take in the ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk. I’ll try my best to block this girl; you should escape as quickly as possible."

"Thank you, Elder!"

All cultivators shouted loudly. There was no need for further concealment. They broke their wax pills, and a black liquid appeared.

"What is this?"

Luo Zishu was surprised. As an元婴期cultivator, her knowledge was extensive; she had never seen ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk before, but the descriptions in books were clear—white and packed with astonishing spiritual energy.

However, the liquid that melted from the wax pills was pitch black like ink and emitted an uncomfortable aura. Could it be that the Elder Patriarch was deceiving her?

This thought flashed through Luo Zishu's mind as she had no time to think further. The liquid quickly entered her dantian and spread throughout her body via spiritual energy.

Luo Zishu’s eyes showed a hint of panic, but soon were replaced by blood-red. A violent aura rose from within; she touched her head, her originally elegant face twisted in pain. Puff! Puff! Puff!

From behind her back, bat-like wings grew. The changes didn’t stop there—her nails elongated, her pupils turned purple, and her exposed skin developed countless strange patterns.

These patterns were intricate and resembled talismans to some extent.

The changes weren't limited to Luo Zishu; the other seven Luo Family cultivators, including two late-stage元婴期masters, also suffered intense pain. Their clothes were torn as their forms changed in various ways.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; he felt a familiar sensation. Was this demonization?

No, it was different from that of demons and monsters, resembling certain厉ghosts from the阴司界.

The Elder Patriarch of Luo Family's eyes showed madness. This "Return to Ancestral Pill" was a secret passed down by the Luo Family but had only been used twice in their history, including this time.

During its first use, it was during a critical moment for the Luo Family when seven major sects besieged their main hall. Faced with overwhelming odds, many experts took the Return to Ancestral Pill.

As the name suggested, the pill could awaken their bloodline power. The Luo Family were descendants of the Celestial Defiler King; although their lineage had thinned over time, they could still transform into阴司ghosts. After transformation, their strength would significantly increase. However, there was no free lunch—while their strength could be boosted, the cost was high.

Even late-stage元婴期masters could only maintain this form for a short while, an incense stick’s worth of time, before exploding and dying.
