Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 342 - 202: Battle with the Golden Silkworm! (Part 2)
Immediately, his mind raced, catalyzing his mana, forcibly stabilizing the Black Heaven Hall once again to temporarily withstand the white tornado.
However, Golden Silkworm noticed that his heart was already pounding like thunder, and his face seemed to be starting to swell—it was unclear if it was turning red.
This made Golden Silkworm realize that continuing in this manner was likely not a viable solution.
As a true master who had immersed himself in the Core Formation Middle Stage for many years, his means were certainly not limited to just the Black Heaven Hall.
He had many techniques left unexhibited.
If he displayed them, he could still hold on for quite a while.
But it wouldn’t make much difference.
The opponents were cooperating as two people; no matter what techniques he used, he could at best maintain the stalemate temporarily and would still gradually fall behind, getting into a more dangerous situation.
Moreover, the middle-aged person opposite him belonged to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
No matter how many techniques he had, could they surpass those from a Nascent Soul Major Sect?
Certainly not.
Feeling restless and irritated, Golden Silkworm angrily glared at Qi Chuan.
Many years ago, this person indeed had some talent but was not taken seriously by him. Even after gaining fortuitous encounters in the Secret Realm Space, he only dared to scuttle about like a rat, looking for holes to hide in and not daring to come out.
But now, it was this very person who had driven him into such a dire state.
"Once I escape, I shall certainly find another chance to kill this brat!"
Golden Silkworm took a deep breath.
He could not escape.
Fighting wasn’t an option either.
At this moment, he could only abandon his pawn to save the king.
"Blood Refining Reversal Technique!"
Golden Silkworm yelled in his heart.
The Golden Core in his Dantian, which had been spinning rapidly, suddenly came to a halt, transitioning from extreme motion to extreme stillness. Then in the next moment, it suddenly began to reverse frantically.
Boom!
In Golden Silkworm’s mind, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, with terrifying booms constantly ringing out, leaving him somewhat dazed.
At the same time, his flesh and blood began to burn.
A strong scent of blood rose from his body, enveloping him entirely, and even his skin all over turned blood red, while his pupils became as scarlet as those of a demon.
An evil aura emanated from within him, polluting the surrounding void. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Golden Silkworm’s body began to become as illusory as a blood shadow.
The Blood Refining Reversal Technique was actually a blood sacrifice escape technique, a life-preserving divine technique he had acquired by chance.
Once, he had escaped from the hands of the Profound Sword True Master using this divine technique.
Of course, back then, the Profound Sword True Master was not as terrifying as he became later on.
After executing the Blood Refining Reversal Technique, Golden Silkworm coldly stared at Qi Chuan, about to transform into a blood light and flee the scene.
"It’s actually a blood sacrifice technique?" Not far away, Feng Tan noticed Golden Silkworm’s abnormality and was slightly surprised. His eyes glinted as he immediately formed a seal with his hands, muttering an incantation, and a mysterious meaning swiftly emanated from the shimmering mana between his hands.
His spell was extremely fast, seemingly prepared beforehand, almost activating in the very instant Golden Silkworm deployed the Blood Refining Reversal Technique.
However, someone acted even faster than him.
"Ninefold Soul Torture Technique!"
Qi Chuan gazed at the blood-shadow-like Golden Silkworm and directly activated his Divine Soul Secret Technique. From the center of his brow, an invisible divine soul wave suddenly swept out, swift as heavenly thunder, striking toward Golden Silkworm.
"Ah!!!"
Within the blood shadow, Golden Silkworm, glaring murderously at Qi Chuan, suddenly screamed, his already shrinking blood-shadow-like hands clasping his blood-colored head, a vague expression of pain manifesting on that blood-colored head.
Severe divine soul torment exploded within his divine soul, as though struck by thunder from the ninth heaven.
This torment was too terrifying, especially for Golden Silkworm experiencing it for the first time, and it felt magnified several times over.
He suddenly could not control the blood shadow into which he had transformed using the Blood Refining Reversal Technique.
"Divine Soul Secret Technique, could that Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s Core Formation Middle Stage cultivator have such a strong divine soul secret technique?" Golden Silkworm thought with alarm, certain that it must have been Feng Tan who had wielded the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique.
Refining Spirit cultivation methods were rare to begin with, let alone divine soul secret techniques.
But if it came from a Nascent Soul Major Sect, it might be possible.
"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."
Qi Chuan looked at the blood shadow not far away, couldn’t help but take in three breaths of cold air, nearly transforming into Snake.
He had already stepped into the Core Formation Stage in terms of divine soul before advancing to Core Formation.
Later, as his realm reached Core Formation, his divine soul was somewhat enhanced in tandem.
Thus, the current strength of his divine soul was not comparable to an average Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator.
Additionally, with the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method protecting him, he dared to launch a divine soul assault on Golden Silkworm from a disadvantaged position.
Primarily, even though Golden Silkworm was at the Core Formation Middle Stage, he had never cultivated a Refining God Technique; hence, his divine soul strength wouldn’t be very strong.
There was minimal risk of backlash.
Yet, even so, Qi Chuan still sensed a severe stabbing pain erupt in his own divine soul, almost unbearable.
Qi Chuan felt he had ultimately suffered a bit of backlash.
If not for the years of tempering by the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder and the protection of the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, he would certainly have found himself in an embarrassing predicament.
"Still a bit too reckless." Qi Chuan mused.
But there was no other choice.
The main concern was Golden Silkworm escaping.
For such a Core Formation Middle Stage true master, with whom he had formed a life-and-death enmity, allowing him to escape posed a massive threat, constantly worrying about his return for revenge.
Being alone himself, it was somewhat manageable.
Once he ascended to the Core Formation Middle Stage, he’d have nothing to fear.
However, the Wind Moon Sect was a different matter.
Thus, it was necessary to handle it in one go to prevent endless troubles.
"Divine Soul Secret Technique?"
At the moment Golden Silkworm was struck by the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique, Feng Tan, who was performing his divine technique, looked at Qi Chuan with surprise.
"This Junior Brother Qi Chuan is quite mysterious," Feng Tan couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.
To know the rarity of divine soul secret techniques, not even he possessed one.
Yet this Qi Chuan, who had only recently broken through to the Core Formation Early Stage, possessed such means.
However, having a divine soul secret technique was beneficial, ensuring the ability to completely neutralize Golden Silkworm.
By himself, he wouldn’t have been able to guarantee it.
Swish!
While Feng Tan was pondering, his hand motions didn’t pause at all.
Quickly forming a seal, he cast out a hazy mystical light, striking the blood shadow still clutching its head in agony.
Due to the lingering divine soul torment, the blood shadow had no chance of evading and was hit squarely on its brow by the light.
Then, a hazy glow began to spread from the blood shadow’s brow, enveloping it entirely.
Sensing the ominous essence of the hazy glow, the blood shadow surged with an abundance of blood energy to assault it.
Under the assault of the blood energy, that hazy glow swiftly diminished and retreated.
Simultaneously, the power of the blood energy itself swiftly extinguished amidst the clash.
When the hazy glow completely dissipated, the blood energy in the void also waned immensely.
Enveloped in the blood energy, the blood shadow shrunk considerably from its original size.
At this moment, the actions of the blood shadow clutching its head in pain finally ceased, as the effect of the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique faded away.
Qi Chuan slightly frowned as he looked at the small blood shadow in the void.
In his current state, he couldn’t launch a second Ninefold Soul Torture Technique.
If the blood shadow decided to escape, he would be powerless.
Feng Tan also pondered for a moment while watching the tiny blood shadow.
Under the gaze of the two, for some time, the small blood shadow surprisingly remained static.
Pop~
However, in the next moment, the small blood shadow suddenly rippled like a balloon and then tore open a huge fissure.
From that tear, much blood energy leaked out, dissipating into the void.
As the blood energy completely vanished, a waxy, shriveled infant-like face astonishingly appeared in the tear of the blood shadow’s shell.
