The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 418: Youngster, Good Tactics_1

Taking advantage of Wang Yuanxing's distraction with the Ruyi Soul Stealing Needle, Shen Mo struck the blood-red jade platform with a Wall Palm, first severing the connection between Jiang Lingfeng and the Blood Pool.

With a flick of his hand, he cut through all the enchanted chains binding her!

Then, with a gentle surge of energy, he supported her as she retreated a thousand feet away.

After a quick examination of her physical and soul injuries, Shen Mo took out the Flesh Bone Pill, Ganoderma Marrow Pill, Evils Repellent Pill, Blood Ginseng Red Sun Pill, Soul Nurturing Pill, Taixu Pill, and a series of other Elixirs, feeding them to her one after another.

"GULP!"

"GULP!"

Jiang Lingfeng swallowed each Elixir, and her injuries began to heal at a visible speed, scabs forming.

However, this was merely superficial. Her origin power was severely depleted, and it would take at least ten to fifteen days of recuperation to recover. The injury to her soul, in particular, might require months of healing!

Fortunately, Wang Yuanxing, seeking better cultivation results from her suffering, hadn't killed her outright.

Otherwise, if her soul had been extinguished, Shen Mo couldn't have saved her, despite the many Elixirs he possessed!

Nourished by the Elixirs, Jiang Lingfeng's lifeless eyes flickered slightly and focused on Shen Mo's face. Her voice was hoarse and weak, "Shen... Junior Brother?"

"It's me. I'm sorry I came a bit late."

Shen Mo took his own robe from his Universe Bag and draped it over her.

Her personal belongings, including her Universe Bag and various spiritual items and magic artifacts, had been taken by Wang Yuanxing. They would all be retrieved once Shen Mo killed him!

"No…" Jiang Lingfeng shook her head slightly, a faint smile touching her lips. "It's not late. My life is safe... This torment is nothing."

As a formidable individual who had clawed her way up from the very bottom of the sect, her willpower was far stronger than that of an average cultivator. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Even though Wang Yuanxing had subjected her to tortures unimaginable to ordinary people, her Path Heart remained unbroken. Seeing Shen Mo blaming himself, she could still find the strength to console him!

Seeing this, Shen Mo said no more. He simply activated his magic, his form shifting into that of a Three-headed Six-armed being.

He then shook the Soul Refining Flag, summoning five late-stage Class III Demon Soul Generals, including Green-skinned Ghost Tieshan, and ordered them to protect Jiang Lingfeng.

"Senior Sister Jiang, stay here and watch!"

"After I kill this old beast and extract his soul, I'll hand it over to you for retribution."

"Then, you can repay the torture he inflicted on you tenfold, a hundredfold! Let him learn the consequences of provoking the wrong person!"

As they spoke, Wang Yuanxing had already emerged from the Blood Pool.

The blood from the pool transformed into a vast, boundless expanse of blood-colored fog, hovering above his head.

The Ruyi Soul Stealing Needle was clamped in the mouth of a skull magic artifact, darting left and right but unable to escape its grasp!

However, dealing with the Soul Snatching Needle had taken its toll on Wang Yuanxing as well.

A bloody hole gaped in his chest, and through the mangled Flesh and Blood, his beating heart was visible. Apparently, when the Soul Snatching Needle had aimed for his heart, he had decisively torn open his own chest to clamp down on the needle with the skull magic artifact!

This needle was specifically refined to pierce defenses, so its power was somewhat less than that of ordinary low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Even so, the skull holding it fast had to be a Spiritual Artifact itself!

Otherwise, the Ruyi Soul Stealing Needle would have punched a hole right through it, just as it had with the white bone shield Wang Yuanxing had previously summoned to block it.

Through an unseen connection, Shen Mo continuously poured Mana into the Soul Snatching Needle. Unfortunately, the skull Spiritual Artifact was also channeling Wang Yuanxing's Mana, preventing the needle from breaking free!

Seeing this, Shen Mo stopped wasting mental energy on the Soul Snatching Needle.

After all, it had fulfilled its purpose. He merely needed to maintain the Mana transmission, letting it continue to tie up the opponent's low-grade Spiritual Artifact!

"Youngster, impressive!" Wang Yuanxing praised, his dark, blood-red Mana surging to seal the gaping hole in his chest.

In the next instant, he retrieved a pagoda-shaped magic artifact from his human-skin Universe Bag and hurled it at Shen Mo!

Fueled by his True Yuan, the pagoda rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal structure a thousand feet high and three hundred feet wide at its base, looming down on Shen Mo.

Given the scarcity of cultivation resources in the Wando Archipelago, this massive pagoda was also constructed from countless human bones.

Arm bones, leg bones, spines, ribs, and more served as the bricks and spiritual materials for the pagoda. Wind chimes crafted from human skulls dangled from the eaves, emitting clear, sharp tinkles as the breeze passed through them.

It appeared grand and imposing, yet it was utterly terrifying and gruesome.

Large magic artifacts like palaces, pagodas, boat houses, and arch bridges required far more spiritual materials than common sword-type magic artifacts!

Such an enormous pagoda necessitated hundreds of thousands of human bones. Moreover, when crafting an evil cultivator's magic artifact, not every mortal's Corpse Bones were suitable; it was common to select only one in ten, or even one in a hundred!

Merely to create this pagoda, at least a million, perhaps even tens of millions, of mortals had perished at Wang Yuanxing's hands over the past few centuries.

A look of fierce disgust flashed across Shen Mo's face. He raised his hand, and seven small swords, each about an inch long, flew out with joyous hums.

Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang—the seven Big Dipper Swords instantly settled into their specific celestial positions, forming The Big Dipper Array. With a thunderous BOOM, it smashed brutally into the bone pagoda!

Each of these Dao swords had reached top-grade profound level, thanks to Shen Mo's relentless investment.

His mastery of the "Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation" cultivation method had reached the Epic stage, a level of Extremely Perfection, further bolstered by his two Great Divine Powers: "Sword Body" and "By the Stars."

The power of The Big Dipper Array had long since reached an earth-shattering level!

This was one of Shen Mo's most potent techniques, one he didn't reveal lightly.

Shen Mo wouldn't use this Sword Array unless facing a formidable enemy. During the competition for core disciple positions, aside from his battles with Yu Yan and Jiang Lingfeng, the other six core disciples had never witnessed its might!

With a thunderous BOOM that shook the entire Capital City of the Bright Sand Country, The Big Dipper Array and the bone pagoda smashed together.

Sword Light and dark, bloody radiance lit up half the sky.

In the next instant, the bloody radiance receded, and the entire bone pagoda collapsed with a crash. Countless bones shattered into fragments, scattering everywhere.

Wang Yuanxing had toiled for two hundred years to create this bone pagoda!

Seeing his treasured pagoda destroyed, a rare look of shock and fury crossed Wang Yuanxing's face. But before he could lament his loss, he employed his magic again, directing the blood mist—formed from the Blood Pool above his head—towards the sky before him.

This was because after destroying the bone pagoda, The Big Dipper Array, under Shen Mo's control, was already hurtling towards Wang Yuanxing.

"SIZZLE!"

"SIZZLE!"

The cloud of mist formed from the foul, stinking blood was indeed extraordinary.

The terrifying Sword Light unleashed by The Big Dipper Array flew into the mist and was quickly corrupted and eroded.
