第四千一百六十四章 田小剑陨落

All might be revealed!

With Tian Xiaojian's cunning, he could hardly fail to realize his perilous situation. At this moment, preserving his life was the top priority.

The True Demon Shatter Void Blade emitted a dazzling light, enveloped in flames and electric arcs, significantly enhancing its power.

It sliced through an unusual trajectory, like a silver hand striking down.

Sizzle...

The two clashed violently, though not silently, sending ripples of force outward, shattering the void.

However, this standoff lasted only an instant.

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed. The True Demon Shatter Void Blade was actually repelled and sent flying.

It arced through the air, its surface flashing with light before dimming.

Puff...

Tian Xiaojian spat out blood, his face filled with shock.

That strike not only failed to alleviate his predicament but also severely damaged his life essence.

The power of the Daoist Ancestor was truly formidable, far exceeding his expectations.

Tian Xiaojian's expression darkened. However, he wouldn't sit idly by. He took a deep breath and emitted a bright green light as he tried to fly away diagonally.

However, he suddenly found himself unable to move... not immobile, but his speed had drastically slowed down.

While it wasn’t as drastic as an ant crawling, compared to normal conditions, it was reduced by more than a hundred times.

Why is this happening?

Tian Xiaojian was greatly surprised. A thought flashed through his mind like lightning: Could it be... the Time Law?

The most mysterious and profound of the Heavenly Laws, Tian Xiang, as a Daoist Ancestor, could grasp such a law without much surprise.

Without further ado, Tian Xiaojian roared loudly. Since he couldn’t fly far, he spun around in place. His belly swelled like a balloon.

A dull thud echoed, and his entire body burst apart, sending blood everywhere.

Tian Xiaojian didn't perish; this was merely one of the immortal demon techniques he had cultivated.

...

Afterward, his shattered body could reassemble itself. However, Tian Xiang sneered: "Fool. In my presence, dare to play such tricks?"

"You since don’t know when to die, I won’t hold back!"

With that, he spread his fingers, and a dazzling light ball appeared in his palm.

Inside, faint symbols flickered, followed by the appearance of a giant mouth within the silver hand.

It was extremely sudden, with sharp teeth crossing each other. It opened wide.

Woo...

A cacophony of ghostly howls resounded.

From that monstrous mouth, countless snakes emerged... no, not snakes but black light columns. Each about a foot long, they soon transformed into nine-eyed toads.

Nine-eyed blood toads?

No, they differed significantly from the true spirits in legend, being much smaller and in vast numbers.

But regardless, these were indeed toad-shaped monsters.

A "quack" echoed as the toads extended their tongues. The blood threads of Tian Xiaojian's transformation couldn’t escape; they were all swallowed by the tongues.

Not a single one escaped.

After devouring them, the skin turned blood red.

Then, they reformed into light columns and entered that monstrous mouth.

Tian Xiang’s face lit up with satisfaction. Although this process was somewhat complicated, a mere fragment of his soul couldn’t escape his palm.

It was merely futile resistance.

A smile played on his lips as he moved his hands like butterflies, compressing the silver hand until it became a round ball.

A dozen feet in diameter, it solidified into an实体. Tian Xiang continued chanting, and after some time, the light ball shrank to the size of a dragon's eye, with faint blood marks appearing on its surface, giving it life-like qualities.

Tian Xiang was delighted as he swallowed this object. With a gurgle, merging his fragmentary soul into his body brought immediate benefits to his strength.

"Congratulations, Great Daoist."

...

The entire process was swift and dramatic. The other True Immortals were stunned but not dumbfounded. Realizing what had happened, they felt some unease since they had attacked Tian Xiang earlier.

Fortunately, it was an accident, and everyone present couldn’t escape their own mistakes. Hopefully, the Great Daoist would only mete out minor punishment.

"Truly a bunch of fools, manipulated like puppets."

Tian Xiang’s face showed some dissatisfaction, but he only said half of his sentence before closing his eyes. He still needed to digest Tian Xiaojian's memories and had no time for these foolish True Immortals.

Seeing Tian Xiang remain silent, the others naturally didn’t dare make decisions on their own. They stood respectfully.

In a blink, a tea’s time passed. Tian Xiang’s face lit up with joy: "Haha, sending out a fragment of my soul was indeed the best strategy. I never expected to find Xiaoyu so easily."

"Lin Xuan, humph. It seems he has grown in cunning this lifetime as well. But how can such meager strength match mine? The most laughable is that Asura, the former Heavenly Beauty, now looks like this and hasn’t recovered her strength. My original formidable enemy no longer poses a threat. If I knew this earlier, I should have spent more time in another dimension."

Tian Xiang’s expression was one of apathy, but his words betrayed his true intentions. Who would want to fight a powerful foe to the death? Asura and Xiaoyu being weaker than expected wasn’t what he wanted.

"Great Daoist, how should we proceed?"

A True Immortal cautiously spoke up.

"How?"

Tian Xiang slowly turned his head: "Although Xiaoyu and Asura are no longer formidable, there’s no reason to let them go. I won't be careless. Let's follow me to extract their souls."

"Yes!"

The other True Immortals had no objections. However, Tian Xiang then touched his head; he felt something amiss after fusing with the fragment of his soul. Could it be that he hadn’t fully digested it?

Postscript: Well, do you think Tian Xiaojian really perished? (If you like this work, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read at m.)
