Chapter 749 - 531: Reversing Yin and Yang
"Do you dare to look down on the lineage of the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape?"
Wei Fan’s words enraged Yuan Gang, emitting a burst of violent aura. The ring of Dao Runes atop his head, meant to prevent emotional outbursts, shimmered, and threads of Dao Yun light descended into his skull.
In their lineage within the Demon Race, although they never produced an ultimate powerhouse like a Demon Emperor, they could be considered uncrowned kings. Even the Di Race within the Demon Race dared not belittle their lineage.
"Boom..."
The Void World shook as a wave of Golden Blood Qi rose from Yuan Gang’s body. His golden fur radiated divine light, and although the ring on his head suppressed his violent clarity, Wei Fan’s words still made his aura restless, with a hint of crimson appearing in his gaze.
"Heaven-Imprisoning Roll!"
With a loud roar that shattered the heavens, the Holy Soldier’s Staff in his hand drew forth avenues of the Great Dao.
Under the interwoven laws, a prison dragon that could isolate him from Heaven and Earth Dao quickly manifested around Wei Fan, aiming to sever his connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
This move, which Wei Fan had experienced when he slew Yuan Tiansheng, was indeed exquisitely profound and was an extremely powerful Emperor-level Secret Technique, quite formidable.
And now, wielded by Yuan Gang, a Great Saint, its might advanced further, and was even more mysterious than when Yuan Tiansheng had wielded it, forming a real cage.
An iron cage appeared, full of Dao Runes, radiant with light, severing his connection with the Great Dao, unable to harness its power.
Of course, being inside it, Yuan Gang was similarly affected and could only draw upon a portion of the Great Dao’s power.
However, this was not significant to him; their lineage’s bloodline was robust, their physical forms extraordinary. The Heaven-Imprisoning Rod Secret Technique was created precisely due to this, isolating the opponent’s connection with the Great Dao, then suppressing them with an overwhelmingly strong physical form. Many geniuses have been defeated by this Secret Technique over the years.
"Kill!"
His eyes emitted a fierce light as Yuan Gang lifted his great staff to strike.
"You should also witness my Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique!"
Wei Fan’s hair was dense, wildly swirling. He could have evaded the Heaven-Imprisoning Rod to avoid being isolated from the Great Dao, but to fight Yuan Gang head-on, he would inevitably fall into the cage.
Moreover, his upcoming Secret Technique emphasized the state of mind and was less reliant on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth compared to typical Martial Techniques.
"Clang!"
A saber’s cry sounded, as the Dragon-slaying Saber behind him autonomously unsheathed, landing in his hand.
Yin-Yang Chaos Saber!
Since mastering it, he hadn’t used it to kill, as those opponents before lacked the qualification for him to employ the Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique.
He didn’t know the power of this saber technique, but Dragon Battle Martial Emperor held it in high regard, directly stating it was a Martial Technique of very high conception, with the potential to reverse the ancient, present, and future if perfected.
With the saber in hand, Wei Fan’s momentum transformed instantaneously; the soaring Sword Intent caused the surrounding cage to tremble, as if being blown open by a terrifying Sword Intent.
"He’s indeed a Sword Saint!"
Yuan Gang showed a serious expression, instantly realizing his opponent’s Sword Dao Cultivation had reached the level of Entering the Dao.
However, he had severed the opponent’s connection with the Great Dao, rendering the opponent’s Sword Dao Cultivation to about seventy to eighty percent effectiveness.
"Being the heir of the Martial Emperor’s influence, freely maneuvering the power of the Emperor’s Soldier, this person, like Wei Fan, would become a great threat to my Demon Race if not slain."
In an instant, Yuan Gang’s killing intent towards Wei Fan intensified fiercely.
At that thought, the force of the staff in his hand increased by thirty percent, crashing down on Wei Fan like a star, forcing the light surrounding Wei Fan to retract significantly.
Wei Fan avoided Yuan Gang’s rage-infused strike by flashing Dao Runes beneath his feet, not colliding directly, as he was still accumulating the Sword Intent of the Yin-Yang Chaos Saber.
"Where is your saber, why do you evade!"
Yuan Gang roared, his momentum like a rainbow, assuming Wei Fan was trapped in the cage, causing his strength to drop, thus avoiding confrontation.
Indeed, losing connection to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth did impact Wei Fan’s strength; if the Demon Emperor’s Secret Technique had no effect whatsoever on him, it wouldn’t qualify as a Demon Emperor’s Secret Technique.
This Heaven-Imprisoning Rod ranks among the top-secret techniques mastered by the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape lineage, otherwise, Yuan Gang wouldn’t have used it immediately upon realizing he fell short of Wei Fan.
When relying solely on Primordial Spirit Cultivation, the Heaven-Imprisoning Rod indeed significantly reduced his strength.
Yuan Gang aimed to provoke Wei Fan, hoping he would confront him directly. Wei Fan’s speed wasn’t even as great as He Hongcai’s, and fighting him using speed, even with the Heaven-Imprisoning Rod suppressing part of Wei Fan’s strength, would make it difficult for Yuan Gang to harm him.
"You might not like it when my saber strikes!"
Cold lightning shot from Wei Ran’s eyes as his whole body surged with Dao Power. Under the Heart Method Mantra of the Yin-Yang Chaos Saber, a bizarre aura began to form on him.
His Will Power emanated from between his brows, starting to spread, causing space to warp, as if altering, instantly engulfing Wei Fan and Yuan Gang in a wave of distortion.
The isolating prison dragon appeared intermittently, Wei Fan’s aura fluctuated between strong and weak.
At times connecting with the severed Great Dao, and at times disconnecting again.
The same occurred with Yuan Gang; the originally isolating prison dragon now isolated only parts of his connection to the Great Dao, changing him to be like Wei Fan.
"What kind of Martial Technique is this?"
Yuan Gang was taken aback; a peculiar Will was impacting the law-woven cage, attempting to dismantle the rules here, transforming them into the opponent’s rules.
Moreover, this was only an external phenomenon, and he felt dizzy, with yin-yang inverted and heaven and earth reversed.
Clearly, Wei Fan was before him, eye to eye, but suddenly, in perception, Wei Fan seemed to be overturned head-to-toe, switching places with him.
"Yin-Yang Chaos Saber!"
Space warped around Wei Fan, alternating between yin-yang wonders, as he leaped and slashed with his saber.
Yin-Yang Chaos Saber?
Yuan Gang shuddered, his Will Power surged, suppressing the discomfort in his senses, and everything before his eyes returned to normal.
He knew this wasn’t an illusion; it was merely his power suppressing the eerie domain’s influence on him, while his inner power still eagerly stirred.
This was just the Sword Intent emanating from "Wei Ran," and the truly terrifying thing was still within that saber strike.
The fierce saber light shone, yin and yang alternated, the five elements were in chaos, yet strangely the power remained in control.
Yuan Gang’s heart trembled; he hurriedly swept out a stick shadow to block, not daring to let such an eerie thing strike his body.
"Boom!"
The saber clashed with the stick, emitting waves of destruction. Yuan Gang’s arms trembled, and before his eyes, a bizarre phenomenon of Heaven and Earth Reversed emerged again.
"You sever my Great Dao, I disrupt your yin and yang and five elements!"
In the strange domain, Wei Fan was clearly speaking from opposite, but the voice came from behind, startling Yuan Gang, almost making him believe Wei Fan appeared behind him.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, yin and yang imbalanced, the stick shadow exploded.
Yuan Gang’s expression was dire, as the forces within him also manifested an imbalance of yin and yang, and chaos in the five elements, causing the power to riot uncontrollably.
Even though he quickly suppressed it with the Great Sage’s Will, some power still exploded within his body.
At the same time, the surrounding Great Dao cage began to disintegrate, no longer under his control, with the Heaven and Earth Dao reverting to Wei Fan.
"His Primordial Spirit Cultivation is stronger than mine, his Will Power far surpasses me!"
Yuan Gang felt a chill in his heart; the cultivation technique was one aspect, but to exert its power, one must also consider the practitioner’s Primordial Spirit Realm.
The opponent could wound him with one strike and even break the Celestial Imprisoning Rod, clearly showing a higher Primordial Spirit Realm.
"Boom rumble..."
Wei Fan raised his saber to strike again, when suddenly a sound of Dao Collapse came from afar.
His gaze swept over, revealing that his prior slaying of three Dharma Demon Saints had freed up Gao Peng and others to assist Fairy Yunyin, reducing some pressure. At this moment, Fairy Yunyin used her music to slay a Dharma Demon Saint.
"Don’t hesitate, summon the Imperial Soldier Power!"
The Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon roared, He Hongcai was killed, Wei Ying was freed, and Yuan Gang was also being overpowered by that Wei Ran. If this continued, these Demon Saints would all be slaughtered.
"Kill!"
Wei Fan didn’t pay much attention to the situation elsewhere. To him, the most important thing was to first slay the Yuan Gang in front of him.
"Boom boom boom..."
One by one, the Great Dao and Chains of Order emerged, intertwining with the Dragon-slaying Saber, making the Yin-Yang Chaos domain even more terrifying.
The Great Dao trembled, the laws fell into disorder. Wei Fan existed neither in the past nor in the future; one slash overturned Heaven and Earth, disrupting yin and yang.
He confused the five elements, alternating between reality and illusion.
"Roar..."
Yuan Gang’s hair stood on end; he had never seen such a mystical martial technique. Despite the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape clan’s Celestial Imprisoning Rod being profound, the opponent’s never-heard-of Yin-Yang Chaos Saber was even more mystical, with its power being unbelievably extraordinary.
He roared, golden Blood Qi burst forth from his skull, and his hands frantically brandished the great staff.
However, it was futile. As soon as his power left his body, it immediately reversed yin and yang, causing an imbalance in the five elements, preventing it from exerting its proper power.
"Not good!"
A Sword Aura emerged from thin air, and by the time Yuan Gang noticed it, the Sword Aura had already struck him.
Blood splattered, golden yellow hair was cut away, and what was more terrifying was a Sword Intent of Yin-Yang Chaos slicing into his body, disrupting the yin and yang and five elements within him.
"Face me directly if you have the guts!"
Yuan Gang roared in anger, the ring of Dao Runes atop his head flickered, continuously cascading Dao Yun into his head to control his potentially out-of-control emotions.
His power was ruptured, yet had no room to be unleashed, fighting in an extremely stifled manner.
"Boom!"
His arm muscles bulged, he fiercely wielded the great staff, the formidable power nearly tearing apart the time-space of the Yin-Yang Chaos.
"Slash!"
Wei Fan appeared silently behind him, sweeping the Dragon-slaying Saber horizontally.
Yuan Gang reacted quickly, shifting his body forward, but the blade still grazed his neck, slicing open much of it.
However, such external injuries weren’t terrifying to him. The truly terrifying part was the Sword Intent from the Yin-Yang Chaos Saber entering his body, causing both his body and neck to explode simultaneously.
"Roar!"
Yuan Gang roared, instantly shattering the ring above his head. He knew that if he didn’t lift the restrictions, he was probably going to be slain by "Wei Ran."
As for summoning the Imperial Soldier Power with the secret technique, in the situation of yin and yang chaos, it simply couldn’t be executed, nor could the Imperial Soldier Power be summoned immediately.
