Chapter 428 - 411: Slaying Yinshan, Preparing for Core Formation
’How is this possible?’
’I’m a Golden Core expert. How could I possibly feel a sense of danger from a mere Crystal Realm cultivator?’
’Even if he has a track record of defeating a Tier-4 Great Demon, it’s still impossible... Or could it be this quasi-Tier-4 spirit vessel? Does it possess some kind of strange power?’
A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Yinshan was baffled.
But that didn’t stop him from making a decision.
"Such shameless boasting from a junior!"
"I’d like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
Yinshan snorted coldly.
With a flip of his palm, a small, cyan-black seal radiating a boundless aura of Spiritual Power flew out from his sleeve!
The Yin Mountain Seal!
His life-bound Spiritual Treasure!
At the same time, a cyan-black Golden Core Realm spread out from around Yinshan, expanding in all directions like a tidal wave!
The Yin Mountain Seal combined with his Golden Core Realm.
RUMBLE!
A majestic, desolate mountain range wreathed in Yin Evil Qi materialized!
The spectral mountain range, exuding a boundless might, covered dozens of miles as it bore down on the Ghostly Flood Dragon with overwhelming force!
Divine Technique: Yin Mountain Burial
"To die by my Divine Technique as a mere Crystal Realm cultivator... you should be proud!"
Yinshan’s eyes were sinister as he sneered.
He was no fool of a villain.
On the contrary, this veteran Evil Golden Core cultivator understood the principle of using one’s full strength, even when a lion hunts a rabbit!
After that sudden premonition of danger, he had unleashed one of his True Techniques right from the start!
"Die!"
BOOM!
The Yin Mountain came crashing down!
It completely enveloped an area dozens of miles wide!
Cyan-black Yin Sha Power seeped from the air into the seawater.
In an instant, the life force of countless schools of fish was extinguished, their bodies floating to the surface!
Even the vibrant, multi-colored coral reefs on the sandy seabed were corrupted by the Yin Sha Power, turning into a deathly, greyish-white wasteland!
For over a hundred miles, all life perished!
This extracted life force made the manifested ’Yin Mountain’ within the Golden Core Realm even more substantial!
The might of a Golden Core expert was just that terrifying!
But at that very moment, Yinshan’s expression suddenly shifted, revealing a sliver of utter, uncomprehending shock!
Then, with incredible speed, that shock transformed... into terror!
Suddenly, a tearing sound echoed through the world!
RRRRIP!
The majestic, desolate Yin Mountain ripped apart like a scroll painting, its cyan-black qi bleeding out in chaotic streams!
"You should be honored,"
"as the first Golden Core expert..."
"I have personally killed in this life!"
Su Ye’s voice was cold, filled with brazen arrogance.
He stood upon the wind, cloaked in a flowing, shadowy light. The phantom of the Yin Mountain shattered and dissipated on either side of him, framing him like a demon lord who had just broken free of his seal to bring chaos to the mortal realm!
WHOOSH!
Yinshan was aghast, his pupils contracting. "A Law?!"
"A complete Law?!"
"You’re just at the Crystal Realm, yet you’ve mastered a complete Law?" Yinshan’s voice grew shrill, his face filled with terror. All his previous composure was gone, replaced by utter panic!
"How is that possible?"
"Wait... are you a Nascent Soul expert? Or a Divinity Transformation master who has possessed a new body and been reborn!"
Yinshan’s heart hammered in his chest as a horrifying thought struck him!
’The more I think about it, the more it makes perfect sense!’
After all, even a Golden Core Realm expert who had mastered a complete Law would be considered a peerless prodigy!
For Su Ye to accomplish this at the Crystal Realm, the only explanation in Yinshan’s mind was that he was a mighty expert reborn through possession!
’Damn it!’
At this thought, terror seized Yinshan’s heart, and his expression changed in an instant!
He felt a mortal danger!
’After all, even if such a mighty expert was reborn and only at the Crystal Realm, wouldn’t killing me be as easy as slaughtering a chicken?!’
He had no time to think.
Yinshan’s knees buckled.
He fell to his knees in mid-air and began to beg for mercy.
"Senior!"
"This junior was blind and failed to recognize a great master! Please, be merciful and spare my life!"
"I am willing to surrender a sliver of my soul essence and serve you for the rest of my days!"
Hearing this, Su Ye watched Yinshan with a playful look in his eyes.
He nodded slightly.
Then, he shook his head. "A pity..."
’A pity?’
Yinshan froze. ’A pity about what?’
A trace of pity appeared in Su Ye’s eyes. "Haven’t you realized it yet? You’re already... dead."
SIZZLE.
The sound of something burning echoed.
Yinshan looked toward the source of the sound.
It came from nowhere else but the surface of the sea, from a patch of faint blackness.
His shadow. It was burning, and... it was already burned to nothing!
"Huh?!"
Yinshan’s pupils contracted.
In the next instant, his life force was severed, and his aura dissipated completely!
Yinshan had fallen!
WHOOSH!
His body plummeted toward the sea like a bird with a broken wing.
Su Ye reached out, and with a flick of Magical Power, pulled the corpse toward him.
BUZZ.
With a flash of light from his Storage Ring, Yinshan’s corpse vanished.
Only a single Storage Ring remained, hovering in the air. Storage-type Magical Artifacts cannot be stored within one another.
Su Ye reached out, caught the Storage Ring, and slipped it onto his own hand. At the same time, he activated his Magical Power and pulled the ownerless Yin Mountain Seal toward him!
"Let go of me!"
"You’re not my master!"
The Yin Mountain Seal’s Artifact Spirit cried out indignantly.
A Tier-4 Magical Treasure has already birthed an Artifact Spirit and possesses a degree of sentience.
"Behave yourself!"
Su Ye’s eyes hardened. He formed a hand seal and cast several Sealing Skills, suppressing the Yin Mountain Seal.
’Even Yinshan himself died at my hands. Does a tiny little Artifact Spirit really think it can defy me?’
With his spoils collected, Su Ye’s figure flashed, and he returned to the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
"Let’s go."
’We can’t stay here for long.’
’Before he died, Yinshan used a Divine Technique. The commotion was enormous!’
