What is an immortal?

Chapter 416 Battle Against the Six Desires


"Don't go! I can handle this person, come back!" the Six Desires Venerable urgently shouted.

His spirit beast had an extraordinary origin, and its innate divine ability was even more formidable, but its only flaw was that it was too timid, to the extent that it would turn and flee at the slightest sign of danger. Additionally, since the spirit beast possessed the ability to enter the void at any time, not even his beast taming secret technique could restrain it.

The silver-robed man had no intention of listening. Before the Six Desires Venerable could finish speaking, he had already dashed deep into the void and disappeared without a trace.

The Six Desires Venerable swore furiously, a glint of spirit light flashing between his brows as several silver soul threads shot out, chasing after the silver-robed man.

However, a shadow flickered above the stone chamber, and a slash of black sword qi tore through the air, cleanly severing the silver soul threads.

The sword qi did not stop there, continuing its trajectory toward the Six Desires Venerable's head.

The Six Desires Venerable had already calmed down from the silver-robed man's escape, knowing that the beast would not run far. As long as he could kill Xi Ying and the others, there would be plenty of time to collect the void crystal stones.

"Such mediocre capabilities, and you dare to come forth and show yourselves!" the Six Desires Venerable sneered slightly, his right hand swiftly reached out, easily grasping the black sword qi.

A flash of silver at his fingertips, the black sword qi was forcibly crushed.

The Six Desires Venerable looked upward, his figure suddenly transforming into a beam of silver light shooting up, the soil having no effect on him. He burst through the earth layer in the blink of an eye.

Sensing the situation below, Xi Ying immediately controlled the Kunpeng Flying Car to move back, releasing a beam of golden light from her hand—the Golden Dragon Scissors.

A resounding dragon's roar echoed, and two golden flood dragons appeared out of thin air. Just as the Six Desires Venerable was emerging from the ground, they slashed across his waist.

The Golden Dragon Scissors, refined by a previous generation's Golden Dragon Venerable, had slain countless lives. Though a magic practitioner's treasure, it was imbued with a strong essence of Yin Evil Power, highly damaging to the Divine Soul as well.

"Ha! If it were the Golden Dragon Venerable wielding this treasure, I might have some reservations, but you—a mere Core Formation Stage cultivator—think you can harm me with it?" the Six Desires Venerable revealed a cold smile, as a burst of silver light radiated explosively from his body, spreading out at an astonishing speed.

Engulfed by the silver light, the Golden Dragon Scissors and the flood dragons took on a personified look of weariness, closing their eyes as all the golden light dissipated, reverting back to the form of golden scissors and falling downwards.

Xi Ying and Yan Sijing were also submerged by the silver light. Xi Ying's forehead shone with golden light, forming a golden protective shield around her, barely holding off the silver light but showing a tired expression, half-kneeling on the Flying Car.

Yan Sijing, lacking such means, was invaded by the silver light, falling unconscious to the ground without even a whimper.

Xi Ying's expression shifted slightly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she swiftly regained her composure.

Her fleeting change in expression was nonetheless caught by the watchful eyes of the Six Desires Venerable.

"Although I don't know what trickery you're up to, you always have that Core Formation Stage girl with you everywhere you go. She must be an essential component for that Sleep Witch backing you to enact her measures, right? Without her, let's see what tricks you have left!" the Six Desires Venerable sneered, his figure flashing like lightning to appear above the Flying Car.

A black giant palm shot out from his body, slamming down harshly towards Xi Ying and Yan Sijing—it was the same divine skill he had used to kill Wan Qi Hong before.

The black giant palm, formed of condensed Soul Power, was not inferior to any Mana attack, making the void solidify wherever it passed.

"Great Black Sky God Palm!"

Xi Ying's expression shifted slightly, her brow shining with golden light as a gigantic three-legged bird ablaze with golden flames burst forth, resembling the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow. It collided with the black giant palm.

A thunderous explosion resounded!

The three-legged bird was sent flying, its flames largely extinguished by the shock, while the black giant palm remained unscathed, continuing its assault on Xi Ying.

Xi Ying turned pale but did not panic, her hands forming spell gestures like turning wheels.

A small black kettle appeared above her head, the Soul Suppressing Kettle, with its lid shooting off.

A burst of golden light erupted from within it, producing a shocking surge in Soul Power that greatly surpassed Xi Ying's own, merging into her body.

Xi Ying's Soul Power surged, reaching the realm of the Mid-stage Sleep Witch.

The three-legged bird cried out resoundingly, doubling in size instantly, managing to hold off the black giant palm.

"The Soul Suppressing Kettle! This treasure has been missing for thousands of years, where did you find it?" The Six Desires Venerable disregarded the significantly empowered three-legged bird; his gaze fixated on the Soul Suppressing Kettle, his face a mixture of shock and elation.

As he spoke, the black giant palm changed direction, reaching for the Soul Suppressing Kettle but was once again blocked by the flapping wings of the golden bird.

However, a flash of black light on the Six Desires Venerable's body revealed another black giant palm, emerging suddenly and snatching at the Soul Suppressing Kettle with the speed of lightning, pulling it towards him.

Xi Ying's expression remained unchanged, the corner of her mouth even curling slightly. She perfected her spell gestures and uttered a low shout, "Return!"

A dark light shone from the mouth of the kettle, a swirling black vortex like a nebula appeared, from which an astonishing attractive force emanated, encompassing the black giant palm.

The Soul Power within the black giant palm began to disperse, being sucked into the Soul Suppressing Kettle.

The giant palm quickly grew thin, the Soul Suppressing Kettle steadied itself, and then flew back towards Xi Ying.

"Indeed, the Soul Suppressing Kettle can absorb all Soul Power, it's a pity you cannot wield its full power. Hand it over to this venerable one!" The Six Desires Venerable said delightedly rather than alarmed, flicking his fingers and shooting a beam of silver light towards Xi Ying.

A strong fear toward the Six Desires Venerable surged in Xi Ying's heart, when suddenly a voice rang out in her mind, "Why aren't you running yet? The Six Desires Venerable is a peerless Soul Cultivator of three thousand years; how could you possibly be his match? Do you want to fall here, with no place for your body to rest in death?"

"Nonsense! The Six Desires Venerable is already in his twilight years, his mind muddled; what's there to fear? By killing him, not only will all the treasures of the Shura Palace be ours, but we will also become renowned and make the name Xi Ying remembered throughout the Yunhuang Continent!" another voice arose.

"Why do you have to fight to the death with the Six Desires Venerable? Instead of enjoying good days, you really don't know what's good for you!"

"Why are you only thinking about fighting to the death? Don't you want to understand the full picture of the Shura Palace? I think there must be other secrets here."

"Alas, Xi Ying, you act so rudely and speak coldly, how could you possibly win Yuan Ming's favor?"

Then three other voices joined in, talking in a clamor.

Xi Ying felt a surge of different emotions in her heart, causing her mind to be in great disorder. Her mana and soul power were both starting to flow less smoothly.

The Soul Suppressing Kettle's spirit light scattered, and its suction power decreased significantly. It was once again pulled by the black giant palm and flying towards the Six Desires Venerable.

Xi Ying's cheeks were pale, and blood seeped from her seven orifices. Her eyes were even more vacant, and the situation was extremely dire.

Within the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Yuan Ming, through his soul splitting, saw Xi Ying's condition and became very anxious.

However, at this moment, Yan Sijing was unconscious, and he simply was unable to influence the outside situation, left only to feel helpless.

Just then, a Three-eyed Crow appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying over.

Yuan Ming was overjoyed. His Divine Sense surged out through the Three-eyed Crow's Desire Power anchor point, enveloping Xi Ying and penetrating into her Sea of Consciousness.

He waved his hands, performing gestures as if paying respects to the gods.

This was a secret technique from the Heart Cleansing Technique, designed to help stabilize another's Divine Soul.

With Yuan Ming's assistance, Xi Ying felt invigorated. The chaotic soul power in her Sea of Consciousness recovered slightly.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was pleased and continued casting.

At that moment, a strong suction force emerged from Xi Ying's Divine Soul, drawing Yuan Ming's Divine Sense and even his Soul Power rapidly into it.

The two soul powers merged, turning into a flow of coolness and warmth, somewhat similar to when Xi Ying had healed him while he was unconscious before.

Yuan Ming had an idea. Rather than absorbing these two flows, he sent them towards Xi Ying instead.

Xi Ying's Divine Soul absorbed the two flows and immediately felt a surge of rejuvenating power, her disordered soul power quickly stabilizing, and the glint in her eyes reigniting.

A dense black light lit up on the Soul Suppressing Kettle, resisting the pull of the black giant palm.

"How is this possible! You actually managed to neutralize my Six Desires Power!" the Six Desires Venerable said in a deep voice, seemingly greatly shocked.

"There are many things you don't know, prepare to die!" Xi Ying's eyes flashed with a complex expression before returning to calm as she formed a spell with her fingers.

From within the Soul Suppressing Kettle, a transforming black light spewed out, enveloping the black giant palm in reverse.

The Six Desires Venerable suddenly found himself surrounded by illusions, almost getting lost in them, and urgently cultivated his power to stabilize his mind.

Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, nearly half of Yuan Ming's Soul Power was absorbed by Xi Ying, bringing forth a wave of exhaustion. However, he suppressed the feeling and once again injected mana and Soul Power into the Curse Rune.

A strong Curse Power fell, pouring into the Six Desires Venerable's body.

After this attack, he sat temporarily paralyzed on the White Jade Lotus Platform, absorbing Desire Power to restore his Soul Power, unable to continue attacking.

The Six Desires Venerable let out a pained grunt, his soul power decreasing further.

He had already been hit by a Curse Rune attack previously, significantly dissipating his soul power. Now hit a second time, his Divine Soul Power finally fell to the mid-stage of a Sleep Witch.

"Damn it! Could I have been wrong, thinking that the hidden Sleep Witch couldn't attack without Yan Sijing's help?" The Six Desires Venerable worriedly expanded his Divine Sense, looking back over his shoulder.

A dozen miles away from the Black Tower, the Three-eyed Crow hovered in the air, slowly circling.

"I see, it's the attack carried out with the help of that strange three-eyed bird?" The Six Desires Venerable realized, his eyes flickering with a shadow.

Having suffered repeated heavy blows and greatly weakened, he stood little chance against two Sleep Witches simultaneously. He forcibly gathered his Soul Power, suppressed the remaining Curse Power within, and a silver light flickered between his eyebrows.

Seven or eight soul leeches shot out, splitting in two directions—heading towards the Soul Suppressing Kettle and the Three-eyed Crow respectively.

Xi Ying's soul power had already stabilized, and she began forming spells with her fingers.

The Three-legged Golden Crow, tangled with another black giant palm, released a brilliant golden light from its wings, flinging the black giant palm away and spitting a translucent golden flame at several soul leeches, blocking their path.

The lead soul leech touched the golden flames and "sizzled" into nothingness.

"Burning Divine Soul!" The Six Desires Venerable's face showed shock as he quickly manipulated the other soul leeches to stop and dodge to the side.

Xi Ying did not direct the Three-legged Golden Crow to pursue, but instead took out a black iron flute and began to play.

A series of whimpering flute sounds echoed nearby, not only devoid of any melody but also grating like sawing wood or scraping an iron pot, extremely unpleasant to hear.

Upon hearing the flute sound, the Six Desires Venerable suddenly froze in place, with strands of black mist seeping out of his body. His soul power continuously decreased, as if suffering from some terrible affliction.
