Chapter 1279 - 1278: Secret Cloud Soul-Suppressing Curse
The Innate Cloud Qi spreads across the land.
The Profound Yin Divine Light shines throughout the world.
After Master Qing Song and Venerable Jin Jue became serious and cautious, they engaged in a war of attrition.
Master Qing Song floated in the air, protecting himself and Master Yue Chen with Innate Cloud Qi, his sword swinging freely, White Cloud Swordsmanship incredibly sharp, controlling the rhythm of the entire battle.
Venerable Jin Jue hid in the manor, surrounded by dense Profound Yin Qi and flashing Profound Yin Divine Light, remotely controlling the Dark Gold Shuttle, using spells from the Profound Yin Lineage to counterattack against Master Qing Song.
In terms of cultivation, Venerable Jin Jue was stronger than Master Qing Song, while their spells had their own strengths; however, in terms of foundation, Master Qing Song was superior.
The Innate Cloud Qi, continuous and uninterrupted, was pure and heavy, suppressing the Profound Yin Qi step by step.
Although the Profound Yin Divine Monarch was a generation of Ghost Heroes, none of his disciples—or rather, attendants—could cultivate his fundamental Profound Yin Qi, each had their personal characteristics.
For instance, the Profound Yin Qi of the Ten Thousand Transformations Saint Infant had a corrosive attribute, while the Snow Robe Princess cultivated the Blood Sea.
Venerable Jin Jue’s Profound Yin Qi carried a sharp Gold and Iron quality.
Though his Profound Yin Qi seemed more effective, it lost much in terms of purity.
The Profound Yin Divine Pearl was with Shen Ying, Lu Zheng had seen the Profound Yin Qi inside the Pearl; although slightly weaker than the Innate Cloud Qi, it was much purer than what Venerable Jin Jue could perform.
Of course, this didn’t mean Venerable Jin Jue was weaker; his use of the Profound Yin Divine Light was a formidable presence in the Netherworld.
As they say, it’s not about not recognizing the value, but about comparing. Encountering the genius Master Qing Song from White Cloud Temple, he managed to hold on till now, showcasing profound cultivation and a deep foundation.
Master Qing Song grew stronger in battle, the Innate Cloud Qi proliferating, already enveloping the entire forest.
Under the "Cloud Light Realm," endless white clouds emitted rays, making the Profound Yin Divine Light guarding the manor full of holes.
Venerable Jin Jue realized if it continued like this, he might truly be worn out by Master Qing Song.
Next moment, the manor appeared vast but shrunk rapidly in a breath, then vanished. At the original place, two figures appeared.
One, in gray robes, looked like a young man, defiant in appearance but stood behind the other.
The other, tall and robust, wore luxurious black-gold attire, wide sleeves, and a golden crown, eagle eyes sharp and alert.
Skin appeared normal, but hair and beard were dark gold, a stubble beard, with hawk eyes emitting a bluish-black glow, as if souls were wailing inside.
Clearly not human.
"Break!"
Venerable Jin Jue shouted fiercely, grabbing a handful of coarse sand and waved it.
The coarse sand floated in the wind, immediately forming a massive sandstorm, a rolling dark gold sandstorm rising to the skies.
The fierce sandstorm brought out a massive tornado, gathering momentum to break through, the dark gold coarse sand was a top treasure, stabilizing space, preventing Master Qing Song from performing Nasumi in a Mustard Seed.
"Die!"
Venerable Jin Jue burst forward, reaching out, forming a pair of large bluish-black hands with dark gold patterns, grabbing towards Master Qing Song.
Meanwhile, the attacking Dark Gold Shuttle blackened momentarily, drew a delicate arc, bypassed Master Qing Song to attack the vital point in his back.
Master Qing Song’s eyes narrowed, pulling Master Yue Chen, flickering to evade the hands and Shuttle’s frontal assault, appearing thousands of meters to Venerable Jin Jue’s side.
Then, a White Cloud Hand Seal appeared atop Venerable Jin Jue, like Mount Tai pressing down, dispersing Cloud Qi and Yin Qi, crashing down.
Even the sandstorm dragon tornado faced disintegration under this palm.
Venerable Jin Jue didn’t care, tearing downwards with both hands.
"Open!"
The sandstorm dragon tornado shattered explosively, scattering the surrounding Innate Cloud Qi.
The bluish-black hands pierced the clouds, blending with Cloud Qi, tearing open a large gap in the pervasive Innate Cloud Qi.
Finally, the Shuttle shot out, surrounded by sweeping Profound Yin Qi, pushing away the remaining Cloud Qi, revealing outer space.
Venerable Jin Jue attacked with full force, ignoring self-protection, aiming to tear open the realm formed by Innate Cloud Qi.
Master Qing Song would naturally not miss such a rare opportunity.
The White Cloud Hand Seal condensed further, fingers bending, pressing down with overwhelming pressure.
Simultaneously, the Seal Technique formed rapidly, a Flying Cloud Breaks Evil Curse flashed in the air, instantly breaking through Venerable Jin Jue’s Protective Yin Qi, piercing his Dantian.
Then, a looming wisp of white Cloud Qi appeared under Venerable Jin Jue’s feet, forming a complex Spell Seal, like a festering bone plague, instantly embedded in his back.
Venerable Jin Jue grunted, taking the Flying Cloud Breaks Evil Curse head-on, relying on Protective True Qi to withstand the White Cloud Hand Seal, finally enduring the surrounding Innate Cloud Qi’s constraints, swiftly flying away.
But just as he was about to break out of the Cloud Qi’s encirclement, countless White Cloud Sword Qi suddenly flashed around, stabbing at him fiercely.
Meanwhile, the White Cloud Hand Seal pursued, hitting his back as he blocked the surrounding Sword Qi.
"Boom!"
"Puff!"
Venerable Jin Jue spat a black mist from his mouth, his True Source of Dantian.
Face pale, eyes showing wailing souls, Venerable Jin Jue took a deep breath, shook his aura.
Going all out to break through, neglecting defenses, ended up being heavily injured by the Flying Cloud Breaks Evil Curse and White Cloud Hand Seal’s internal and external assault.
However, the cost of injury exchanged for breaking open the "Cloud Light Realm," allowing escape at any moment.
"Master Qing Song! We will meet again on green hills and waters that flow forever!"
Venerable Jin Jue uttered a threat, then enveloped that ghost, instantly moved far away.
Master Qing Song’s eyes narrowed, White Cloud Sword Qi swept across the sky, cutting and grinding the remaining Profound Yin Qi.
But he didn’t pursue.
Because he knew he couldn’t catch up.
Even if he caught up, it’s not easy to trap Venerable Jin Jue again.
If he truly pursued deep into the Netherworld, Venerable Jin Jue had allies there.
"Venerable Jin Jue is heavily injured, probably won’t return to the mortal world for twenty years." Master Qing Song said calmly.
If it were only Flying Cloud Breaks Evil Curse and White Cloud Hand Seal, it couldn’t delay him for twenty years; but the additional "Secret Cloud Soul-Suppressing Curse" was not easily removed.
"Let’s go back." Master Qing Song nodded, as he needed to recover some injuries.
Meanwhile, several hidden figures in the air quietly left, following Venerable Jin Jue’s direction.
