Chapter Sixteen: Yellow Spring's Tribulation of Water, A Perilous Breakthrough

  "Boom——" A torrential power burst out from the two gears, and the two gears stopped trembling. A phantom gate appeared in the void, and the terrifying, gloomy will was best embodied in this gate.

  Lu Shao's heart was greatly shocked, this terrifying power was absolutely not a ordinary cultivator's Xuanfa battle skill! Lu Shao didn't dare to be careless, his whole body was filled with ancient scripture thunder, and the mysterious power from the dark added to his body. The heavenly court's divine light faintly shone through, lifting the hair on his forehead, as if there was a virtual divine being sitting inside Lu Shao's body, reciting a hymn of praise, making his teeth feel a slight tremble.

  Far away, Wei Lao Gui's heart was greatly frightened, this Xuanfa battle skill was something he had discovered in an ancient relic, although it was only a fragment, but it was still earth-shaking. According to the records above, it was left behind by a great master of the ancient era. At that time, his own cultivation was really low, so he didn't dare to deeply enter the ancient relic, and could only wander around the outermost periphery for a while. But even so, he almost lost his life and disappeared, which was why he became this half-human half-ghost creature.

  At ordinary times, Wei Lao Gui only needs to display this move - Yellow Spring Life and Death, no matter who it is, as long as they are a cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage, they will definitely die. Even if they are a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, they will suffer heavy injuries. At this moment, seeing Lu Shao Yu's technique seemingly able to counter his own battle skill, he was almost shocked to death. Wei Lao Gui turned around and fiercely stared at Lu Shao Yu, his body rolling up a gust of demonic wind, picking up the unconscious Eagle Mark from the ground, transforming into a black-colored shocking rainbow that flew away.

  At this moment, Lu Shaoyou no longer cared about the escaping Wei Lao Gui and Eagle Tattoo, as he had a feeling of being locked in. The void gate seemed to have consciousness, Lu Shaoyou stood quietly in the void, his whole body surging with demonic energy, accumulating momentum and staring at the void gate.

  "Hum——" The Void Gate shook violently, and the door was only opened a crack. A surge of dark energy burst out from inside, and a strong, pungent smell of decay wafted out, as if it would corrode everything. Lu Shaoyou just took a sniff and felt his primordial spirit tremble violently, almost collapsing! Fortunately, the mysterious stone stele released a faint, gentle light in time, allowing his primordial spirit to be preserved.

  "Good guys, none of these guys are simple." Lu Shaoyou's mind was racing at this moment, dozens of thoughts flashed through his mind, calculated one by one, and were denied one by one. "The best way now is to wait and see, as long as this disaster is over, I must kill those two bastards, and also obtain the old devil Wei's set of skills and techniques, otherwise it would be too cheap!"

  "Rumble——" A deafening roar like thunder erupted, and the gate finally opened. An aura a hundred times more intense than before emanated from within, corroding everything it touched into nothing but dust. Lu Shaoyou's eyes contracted in an instant, and before he could even react, a phantom river burst forth from the phantom gate, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky. Lu Shaoyou estimated that it was at least several thousand feet long! A terrifying wave surged out of the turbulent waters, and although the river was illusory, Lu Shaoyou could clearly feel its real existence. The yellowish-brown waves burst forth from the massive gate like a giant dragon, charging towards Lu Shaoyou.

  The terrifying sound wave, accompanied by a pungent and decaying aura, surged towards Lu Shao-yu. In an instant, Lu Shao-yu made a swift decision, stomped his foot on the Heavenly Eight Steps, and activated his ancient scripture to its extreme, producing a thunderous drumbeat that shook off the yellow misty gas surrounding him, retreating hundreds of feet back just in time to narrowly avoid the first wave of attack.

  Lu Shao's heart was shocked and horrified, this technique dared to be called the Yellow Spring of Life and Death, could it be that this yellow spring water was actually the water of the Yellow Spring!? This was just an illusory Yellow Spring water! If the real Yellow Spring water were to be summoned, how powerful would it be!? Perhaps even a million versions of himself combined would be instantly annihilated!

  Lu Shao's astonishment had yet to subside when the illusory Yellow Spring water seemed to lock onto him once more, surging towards Lu Shao again.

  Lu Shao's whole body broke out in a cold sweat, his limbs frozen in place like a clock, as he activated the "Vajra Unmoving Ming Wang Chan" technique. In his heart, he silently chanted, "Vajra Emperor, Bodhi fruit position, Mustard Seed! Unmoving, unmoving, true self without leakage! Ming Wang unmoving, Vajra indestructible!" As the segments of the mantra flowed through his mind, Lu Shao felt that this technique could actually calm his mental state.

  "I didn't know that this Buddha's divine power would be obtained by a demon clan, it seems there must be some trick to it." However, now was not the time to discuss this. Lu Shaoyou's entire body suddenly emitted a faint golden aura, and a faint sacred atmosphere and faint Buddhist chanting sounds came from behind him. This technique caused the virtual shadow behind Lu Shaoyou to solidify slightly. The rolling Yellow Spring water rushed over, Lu Shaoyou's spirit was highly concentrated, victory or defeat would be decided in this one move!

  A wave of waves washed over Lu Shao's body.

  The eerie and mournful cries of the ghosts and gods whizzed past his ears, but Lu Shao-yu remained still as a clock, sitting upright in the center, allowing the waters of the Yellow Springs to wash over him. The faint golden color on Lu Shao-yu's body gradually transformed into a dark gold. At this moment, a divine light appeared on Lu Shao-yu's forehead, and beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down. This was a crucial moment of life and death! Even with the use of Buddhist supernatural powers, he felt that he couldn't hold on much longer. A strong desire to survive suddenly arose in Lu Shao-yu's heart, wanting to become stronger! To get through this Yellow Springs' deadly killing technique, the most feasible method at present was to break through! Only by breaking through could Lu Shao-yu further unleash the power of the "Vajra Unmoving Zen King"!

  After a cup of tea's time.

  Lu Shao Yu's entire body was drenched and he fell heavily to the ground, his back slamming against the earth. Even with the Buddha's divine powers, this divine power was ultimately not enough, and his own cultivation was really too low! Now he could only barely keep himself alive, although it had only been a short while, Lu Shao Yu felt as if countless years had passed. Lu Shao Yu flipped his hands over, and all sorts of precious treasures flew out from the storage ring.

  "These spiritual medicines, all of them burn for me, and all the essence is fully absorbed into my body! Assist me with a burst of strength! Step into the Seventh Heaven of Qi Refining!" Lu Shaoyou roared in his heart, took out a large handful of spiritual medicine and directly poured it into his mouth. "This time I can only force a breakthrough! Otherwise, I'll die!"

  "Divine clarity, unmoving as a clock! ... Profound and mysterious, the gate of wonders! Open it for me!" Lu Shaoyou seemed to see a mysterious door in front of him, Lu Shaoyou roared loudly, his rolling yuanqi wildly crashing towards that door.

  "It was as if something had shattered, and Lu Shao-yu suddenly felt a wave of relaxation wash over him, a sense of the mysterious and the unknown rising up in his heart. "Is this what it feels like to break free from one's shackles? It's indeed very comfortable, no wonder those Taoist priests all abandon their families and children, willing to spend their days accompanying withered trees, just to cultivate immortality and seek the Way. Truly, it's not a feeling that can be compared to worldly experiences!"

  Ding! Lu Shao Yu opened his eyes, and they were like the eyes of a Buddha that had entered meditation. What kind of eyes were those?

  Wisdom, bravery, decisiveness, extraordinary... Lu Shao's eyes were like a starry sky, constantly rotating, and if one wasn't careful, they would be deeply trapped within.

  "Stillness, stillness, the true body of no leakage! The bright king is still, the diamond is indestructible!" Lu Shaoyou let out a low shout, and the wisdom light all over his body suddenly burst forth, as if he had attained enlightenment. His dark golden true body of no leakage was like a golden crystal, standing steadily in the Yellow Spring water!
