Chapter 71: The Great Capture of Xuan Yin Hei Sha

  Lingyuan Reef is located east of Fengbie Palace, three thousand miles away. It's a vast ocean trench that plunges deep into the ground, resembling an enormous abyss. The two sides are piled high with reefs, and the color is somewhat dull and unremarkable. However, from within the depths, large amounts of spiritual mist rise up and spread out.

  Ao Lie led a team of people, riding sea beast chariots, rumbling and rattling as they departed from Fengbie Palace. Mu Yuan was still riding the sea chariot for the first time, with six sea dragons pulling the carriage, running extremely smoothly, more comfortable than carriages on land, without any bumps at all.

  The sea dragon parted the water, and the carriage wheels glided over the waves as if they were running on a soft carpet. The carriages were made of fine iron and had crystal windows that offered a clear view of the surroundings. Unfortunately, this also meant that the countless fish in the sea could be seen fleeing in all directions, creating lines of water that sparkled beautifully, making Mu Yuan feel utterly amazed!

  Lingyuan Reef is located in the east of Fengbie Palace, three thousand miles away. It's a vast and deep ocean trench, with steep cliffs on both sides, filled with reefs and rocks, looking somewhat dull and unremarkable at first glance. However, from within the depths of the trench, large amounts of spiritual mist rise up and spread out.

  Mù Yuán cast his gaze out and saw in the spiritual mist countless spirits busily moving in and out, but he didn't know what they were transporting. However, a strong gust of golden energy wafted over, and Mù Yuán thought to himself that it must be some rare and precious iron ore or jade stone, absolutely top-notch materials for refining equipment!

  Ao Lie's anxious heart, the more he drove out of the car, the more he randomly released a dazzling ray of light, as thick as a dragon, loaded onto the walls of the deep abyss, instantly shattering rocks and rolling, and countless fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles were smashed to death or injured, causing a panic-stricken chaos, rushing out of the deep abyss one after another. On the other side of the deep abyss, countless elite soldiers surged out, their spears and halberds shining with cold light, like stars in the night sky!

  Just then, a loud laugh was heard, and a handsome man emerged from the crowd, with a refined and elegant demeanor, wearing loose-fitting clothes with long sleeves. His face bore some resemblance to Ao Lie's, but his eyebrows and eyes had an air of arrogance and complacency. "So it's Ao Lie! What, still not convinced? Come to seek guidance?"

  Ao Lie didn't get angry, instead he smiled, "Ao Cheng, just because of you, you are also my opponent. What about your brother Ao Jing? He's not coming out, and you dare to be so arrogant!"

  Ao Cheng flung his sleeve robe, "You're just a hybrid dragon, dare to fight me?" A brilliant light burst out from his sleeve, electricity swirling around it, instantly transforming into a massive square seal, like a miniature mountain range, pressing down with overwhelming force, the seawater was squeezed open, surging and bursting forth in a deafening roar!

  Never before had Mu Yuan seen a cultivator of the Undying Divine Demon Body engage in a contest, for a Daoist cultivator like Mu Yuan who cultivated the Great Dao of Primordial Origin, the main focus was on competing with magical techniques, and even when it came to magical artifacts, they often emphasized subtlety and mystery. Few were as overbearing and domineering as Ao Cheng, whose very presence seemed to exude an aura of superiority!

  Ao Lie and Ao Cheng had exchanged blows many times before, so he was quite familiar with his footwork. Seeing Ao Cheng release the Heavenly Dragon Seal, he once again released the Long Indexing Spirit that he had just cast, transforming it into a light screen to support the seal!

  The Tianlong Seal is a treasure given by the East Sea Dragon King to Ao Cheng, containing nine dragon souls and spirits of the gods who have died in battle over the generations. The treasure that guards the East Sea Dragon Palace is a perfectly round and transparent dragon pearl, which is a treasure that has been spat out and refined by the masters of the Dragon Palace over the generations. Inside it contains a cave heaven, where all the dead dragon spirits are stored, and after years and months, the amount of energy stored in the dragon pearl is unknown.

  But the Dragon Kings of all generations have rarely used the dragon essence in it. Ao Feng was willing to refine a treasure for his son, using the dragon essence that was not inferior to the cultivation of the dragon pearl. The fierceness of this treasure can be imagined!

  These nine dragon essences were all at the ninth level of Qi refinement in their previous lives, which is the immortal body that countless demonic paths yearn for. Unfortunately, they were still killed, and a large amount of their essence was scattered, some remaining, and then swallowed and refined by the Dragon Kings of successive generations. Now only 50% remains, but it's still formidable!

  If it were in the hands of Donghai Longwang Ao Feng, such a treasure would be unstoppable, not to mention Ao Lie, even if Ao Lie and Mu Yuan joined forces. However, Ao Cheng didn't have this ability. The treasure was formidable, but it also depended on the user's magical powers. Like Ao Cheng, who only had the cultivation of Lianxu, whereas Ao Lie was a genuine Dan Cheng master!

  The Tianlong Seal was trapped by Ao Lie's Long Hong, unable to come down. Ao Cheng pointed his finger and activated the seal, instantly causing countless symbols to flash on the Tianlong Seal, shining brightly and then dimming. Suddenly, a dragon's roar was heard, and nine divine dragons emerged, swirling and flying out. The dragon's power was released, and all the sea monsters were trembling with fear. This kind of pressure from the heavens had nothing to do with one's actual strength, let alone the fact that the dragon soul's strength far surpassed these monsters!

  "Unexpectedly, Ao Cheng's strength has increased again recently, and the power of manipulating the Tianlong Seal is even greater, making it a bit difficult for me!" However, Ao Lie was not flustered. Although the pressure transmitted through his hands had increased greatly, he was not a poor man either. With a mouthful of thunderballs, countless in number, they intersected and formed a large net that wrapped around the Tianlong Seal. The thunder pearls embedded on the net exploded simultaneously, causing a loud rumbling sound, and for a moment, the seawater surged violently, as if the entire space was shaking. The nine dragon spirits on the Tianlong Seal let out a long, mournful cry, and were blown away, their momentum weakening!

  Ao Lie's Thunder Web, called "Ice Killing One Qi Yin Thunder Web", the Ice Killing Yin Thunder on it was condensed from the cold and icy aura of Feng Bie Palace when Ao Lie had nothing to do. This web embedded with Lei Zhu pearls was given by Ao Feng, which originally had the wonderful use of capturing people. The dragon tribe's Tian Long Tu Xi electric energy entwined on the thunder web was also soaked in Yuan Ci Jing Sha, and then embedded with Ice Killing Yin Thunder by Ao Lie, making its power even greater. At this moment, when it burst out, the light of the Tian Long Seal was instantly suppressed again!

  The Heavenly Dragon Seal was blown to pieces, and Ao Cheng, who controlled the seal, was also in a terrible state. With a loud shout, he recalled the seal and cried out, "Fellow Taoist, quickly lend me your aid!"

  Suddenly, a large piece of dark smoke flew out from the opponent's formation, and a big hand stretched out from it, black and shiny. Mu Yuan felt a cold and sinister aura from afar, which made his whole body feel chilly. On top of the big hand, there was another layer of dark gas swirling around, directly grabbing towards Ao Lie's lightning net!

  At the same time, Ao Cheng's Tianlong Seal burst forth with radiance, pressing down horizontally and interlocking with that dark giant hand, actually suppressing Ao Lie's icy seal and Yin Rai net. The Lei Wan stirred, but found it difficult to exert its might!

  "This person is a master of the Refining Realm!" Mu Yuan immediately understood as soon as he saw the true refining energy on that large black hand. Ao Lie was indeed a high-ranking alchemist, but his quality was not impressive, and it was far inferior to the likes of Chen Taiyi, a fellow sect member Mu Yuan had met before!

  "Brother Ao, don't panic! I'm here to help you!" Mu Yuan didn't even use his sect's sword pellet, but instead casually unfolded his hand, and a blurry aura appeared around his body. Countless flying swords of different shapes intersected with each other, and with a casual point from Mu Yuan, over ten swords flew out in anger, wrapping around that large black hand!

  The wood element has condensed, and the spiritual consciousness is much stronger than before. Now, when using this sword technique to control the Shu tribe's magic, it feels effortless, unlike the clumsiness of the past. Correspondingly, when using the sword energy division technique, its power is also greater than before!

  That big hand also didn't know what kind of magical power it was, and when it touched Mu Yuan's flying sword, a vast expanse of black air and mist suddenly rolled out, wrapping around the flying sword, as if trying to snatch away control of the flying swords. Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and two more flying swords shot out from beside him, directly stabbing into the black fog!

  The swordsmanship of the Wu Men also inherited the consistent strong and overbearing style of the Wu tribe, although it was not very compatible with Mu Yuan's natural temperament, but when executed, it was still extremely powerful!

  "Alas, if only I had tempered these flying swords during the Congealing period, perhaps their power would be even greater. With the overbearing aura, add some dark, icy, and cold air!" Mu Yuan manipulated the flying swords as if they were two dragons stirring up the sea, weaving in and out of the black fog, stirring up waves of smoke that scattered everywhere. Some of Ao Cheng's soldiers who were contaminated by the black fog were instantly frozen into a lump, then swept away by the strong air, rolling into a pile of black ice crystals, a shocking sight to behold!

  The soldiers were in an uproar, scattering in all directions. Mu Yuan followed the aura in the black fog and directly stabbed at the person casting the spell. Suddenly, there were two clanging sounds, and Mu Yuan's mind was shaken. Immediately after, a burst of golden light exploded, and Mu Yuan's two flying swords were actually shattered into pieces by the person in the black fog!

  Mu Yuan was shocked, to think that these flying swords were just ordinary spiritual energy condensed, but not ordinary flying swords could shatter them. Now they were shattered by the opponent's single twist, it can be seen that the opponent's hand was not an ordinary product!

  "Let's see how much you can stir up!" Mu Yuan sneered in his heart, and with a flick of his wrist, the six-word mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" shot out from his dantian, swirling around the giant hand above and below. Among them, four words were condensed into a long-life incantation, which was extremely thick and heavy. There were also two other attacking and transforming mantras that continuously absorbed the yuanqi on the giant hand, entangling it. Meanwhile, Mu Yuan himself charged forward, surrounded by countless flying swords, directly killing his way into the black fog!

  In the dark fog, a gloomy wind howled, and everything was indistinct. Mu Yuan's spiritual power swept in all directions, and soon he saw a figure shrouded in black fog ahead, with a flying sword hovering before him like a swimming dragon, emitting an aura of shocking power. Mu Yuan let out a long whistle, raised his hand, and countless flying swords shot out, transforming into a swirling storm of sword energy that shook the air with a deafening crash, pouring down on the figure in a torrent.
