Chapter 288 Entanglement
Within the sea of consciousness, two small figures, one golden and one white, entangled back and forth, stirring up waves of turbulent energy. At the height of their battle, the tiny cracks in the sky became even more menacing, as if they might shatter at any moment.
Although their spiritual senses were comparable, Yue Yi was a peak Golden Core cultivator in his previous life, possessing countless secret techniques, which gave him the upper hand for a time.
"Zhang Lingyu, why struggle so hard? I will only take your life, and will not bring disaster upon your people."
A man's roar echoed across the golden sea:
"You might not even succeed in forming your core in this lifetime. Just hand over your body to me, and in ten years I can lead the Zhang family to become a Golden Core Immortal Clan. In a hundred years, we can even become a Nascent Soul Immortal Clan. Isn't that better than having it in your hands?"
What he said was true, but afterwards the Zhang family was no longer the Zhang family and had to be renamed the Spirit Puppet Sect.
"You old scoundrel, you talk too much nonsense. Get your hands on my body first!"
Although Zhang Lingyu was at a disadvantage, he still maintained control of his physical body. If things really came to that, he would even self-destruct his body to let the other person succeed.
Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was unaffected by his words, Yue Yi dared not provoke her any further, fearing that she might resort to a desperate attack. He silently made hand seals and increased his encroachment.
This process was extremely slow because the spiritual strength of both sides was at the same level. If the other party's spiritual strength were at the peak of Foundation Establishment, it would be much easier. The fact that they were able to gain the upper hand for the time being was entirely due to their own cultivation.
"Let's wear you down first!"
[Soul Refining Technique for Connecting with the Netherworld]
The white figure formed a hand seal, and a burst of dazzling spiritual light exploded in Zhang Lingyu's eyes. He immediately felt the scene before him begin to blur, his mind clouded, and his eyelids drooped involuntarily.
Even more deadly, a small stream of spiritual fire started from the toes and climbed straight up.
The areas burned by the spiritual light began to become increasingly illusory, causing the spiritual energy in the body to drain away rapidly, and a sense of weakness welled up in the heart.
Without a doubt, it must be a secret technique for attacking the soul.
"The Spirit Puppet Sect has been passed down for over four thousand years, and it has countless secret techniques for the soul. In addition, Yue Yi's cultivation is high, so he is really not easy to deal with..." Zhang Lingyu cursed inwardly, while he himself did not have many means of attack.
The Soul-Destroying Thorn, his most prized weapon, has negligible effect, let alone the others.
Seeing the spiritual fire burning brighter and brighter, he spread out his small hand and revealed a pure white jade bead.
This item is a spoil of war obtained from Huang Yunshan. It is called the Warm Jade Heart Pearl, which the latter obtained from an ancient cultivation cave. It can nourish the soul and resist external evils.
Yue Yi's forceful attempt to seize his body has been sustained only thanks to the blessing of this jade bead.
As the Wenyu Heart Pearl emitted a dazzling spiritual light, the light that had already climbed up to the thigh began to gradually fade, becoming smaller and dimmer until it disappeared completely.
Although the Soul Refining Technique of Penetrating the Netherworld was broken, the loss of spiritual power caused by it was real.
As he grew weaker, a small portion of the sky in his mind's sea was now shrouded in white, indicating that Yue Yi had gained control over a small part of the sky. Even with the jade bead in his hand, it only slowed down the process.
The most urgent task is to replenish the depleted spiritual energy.
While he still had control of his physical body, he barely opened his eyes, slapped the storage bag at his waist, stuffed in a few pills haphazardly, and then drank a large mouthful of Moon Marrow Spirit Water.
This water can not only assist one in cultivating the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture," but also replenish the power of the soul at critical moments.
As the spiritual water entered his stomach, spiritual rain also fell in his sea of consciousness. Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, Zhang Lingyu's originally illusory soul began to solidify, and even the cracks inside his sea of consciousness showed signs of healing.
"Moon Marrow Spirit Water, you're quite the lucky one!"
Yue Yi, who was struggling to seize the power, was slightly taken aback, then looked up and laughed loudly: "You and I are both in the sea of consciousness. Since you can use it, I can naturally benefit from it as well."
"Give it to me!"
After saying that, he mobilized his spiritual power, like a whale sucking in water, to absorb some of the spiritual rain in his sea of consciousness. The spiritual power he had originally consumed gradually began to be replenished.
But the next moment, a jade bead swiftly smashed towards his head.
"It's that magical artifact that nourishes the soul..."
The Warm Jade Heart Pearl in Zhang Lingyu's sea of consciousness was something he hadn't expected. At the time, while the other party was in the Spirit Herb Garden, he had been devouring the souls of other cultivators and hadn't noticed this small oversight.
It was precisely because of this unexpected object that his progress in possessing another body was so slow.
However, this artifact is ultimately not a magical treasure; at most, it can only delay things a little longer.
He caught the flying jade bead in his hand, but the bead was so hot that it almost slipped out of his grasp and struck his chest.
Without a doubt, this must be the effect of resisting external pathogens.
The jade bead in his palm shone brighter and brighter, causing his divine soul power to gradually burn away.
Yue Yi did not let go, his five fingers continued to clench tightly, causing the surface of the warm jade heart pearl to tremble violently. Under the immense pressure, fine cracks began to appear.
Given a little more time, Zhang Lingyu's last defensive measure will be completely broken.
While he was focused on dealing with Yuzhu, Zhang Lingyu was not idle either. She used the Moon Marrow Spirit Water to replenish her soul while unleashing the Soul-Destroying Thorn.
He didn't expect to kill it in one blow. As long as he could exert some influence and regain the upper hand, there would always be a way to wear it down completely. It was just a matter of time.
However, these methods alone are not enough to gain an advantage.
Zhang Lingyu gritted her teeth and poured all her magical power into a bell at her waist.
In an instant, the golden ocean within his consciousness transformed into a raging sea of blood, and the sky, which was half gold and half white, was filled with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder, presenting a scene of apocalypse.
These are nothing compared to the various demonic sounds that permeate the entire world, constantly influencing the two little figures in the sea of consciousness.
"Zhang Lingyu, have you gone mad?!"
Yue Yi was no longer calm as before, and said with a look of horror:
"You attacked me with the Mind-Controlling Bell, but this is your sea of consciousness. Not only am I affected, but you're not much better off either. Look up! If this continues, our sea of consciousness will shatter, and we'll both die!"
The sea of consciousness, which had been gradually healing, began to crack again, much faster than before, and even the Moon Marrow Spirit Water could not salvage it.
"Old fool, I never thought you'd have a day when you're afraid." Zhang Lingyu endured the pain caused by the demonic sound while continuing to activate the Mind-Controlling Bell.
Both sides have suffered varying degrees of damage to their souls, so stopping will be of no use.
Why not use these three forces to kill Yue Yi in one fell swoop?
As for the damage to the mind and soul, we can only seek other solutions after we get out.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward and began to fight the small white figure once again.
Perhaps intimidated by Zhang Lingyu's desperate appearance, or perhaps gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, the rich golden light behind the dark clouds above the sea of consciousness began to gradually regain control of the sky, while the white light that had originally dominated began to fade slowly and was suppressed in a corner of the sky.
