Xunuo summoned the Great Illusion Concealment Talisman primarily to evade Wang Xichuan's probing. Xunuo had never directly confronted the Rotating Illumination Period Practitioner and could not guarantee that the opponent lacked the means to penetrate the array and kill him. However, Wang Xichuan could see through the Great Illusion Concealment Talisman’s abilities, rendering Xunuo's continued invisibility unnecessary.
Thus, Xunuo put away the Great Illusion Concealment Talisman and fully activated the power of the array.
In the past, whenever someone invaded or controlled his Sea of Consciousness, Old Wen would undoubtedly intervene. This time, however, Divine Sense hindered Killing Blade without any response. Coupled with Old Wen's earlier words in the blue Crystal Wall room, Xunuo felt a sense of unease. He quickly sent a strand of Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness.
Upon inspection, Old Wen's presence was absent. Only Killing Blade remained hovering above the Sea of Consciousness, slowly rotating around a disc of light. Xunuo flew beside Killing Blade and softly called out, "Old Wen." Killing Blade showed no reaction, continuing its slow orbit around the luminous disc.
Xunuo's heart sank as he slipped into Killing Blade. This was Xunuo's second entry into Killing Blade's space. The first time he entered, he had been inexplicably pulled out by a mysterious force.
This time, Xunuo had no such concerns; he knew Old Wen meant him no harm and was genuinely anxious about Old Wen's condition as he rushed deeper into Killing Blade's space.
After a moment, beneath a massive stone tablet, he spotted Old Wen's figure. Old Wen sat cross-legged before the stone tablet, which was shrouded in a gray haze with faintly visible strange characters. Ignoring everything else, Xunuo quietly approached Old Wen and lowered his head to look at him.
Old Wen seemed to sense Xunuo’s arrival; however, his condition appeared extremely weakened—he seemed to lack even the strength to speak. Xunuo sighed and said with a quiver in his voice, "Old Wen, I’m sorry for putting you through this." Old Wen let out a slow breath but offered no further response, remaining motionless like a statue.
Xunuo stood still for a moment before waving his hand and vanishing without a trace.
Wang Xichuan abandoned maintaining the Realm; although he was close to falling, he could still mobilize all his magical power to fight back—a reluctant choice. With determination, Wang Xichuan pulled one leg out of the Evil Miasma Swamp and slowly made his way toward the Black Bull Soul Beast.
As he moved forward, he summoned a golden spear that trembled violently as it thrust toward the Black Bull Soul Beast. The power of this strike was significantly greater; with a "thud," it pierced through the Black Bull Soul Beast from head to tail and directly shattered its Sea of Consciousness. Wang Xichuan showed no sign of joy on his face as he continued steadfastly in one direction.
At that moment, a sudden chill swept around Wang Xichuan as countless Yin Soul Beasts emerged from seemingly nowhere. These were low-level Yin Soul Beasts; however, their numbers were overwhelming. Some launched spells at him while others relied on their formidable physical strength to pounce aggressively. Wang Xichuan had no choice but to halt his advance while summoning both the golden spear and Blue Flying Sword to slay the approaching Yin Soul Beasts one by one.
As for the incoming spells, Wang Xichuan seemed extremely confident in his Magic Shield and did not summon any Defensive Artifact for protection. Instead, he pulled out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to continuously replenish his magical power. Wang Xichuan realized that this would inevitably become a war of attrition; falling from the Realm was unavoidable now, and his hatred for Xunuo naturally reached new heights.
Suddenly, Wang Xichuan noticed several drops of rain falling from above onto his Fire Attribute Magic Shield, creating swirling steam. The rain intensified rapidly until it poured down like a torrential downpour. The rainwater was as dark as ink and clearly composed of pure Yin Malevolence; although it was instantly evaporated by Wang Xichuan's Magic Shield, the vapor quickly condensed and continued to fall relentlessly as if there were no end in sight.
Wang Xichuan felt his magical energy being rapidly drained. The Yin Soul Beasts, which could not be defeated in a single blow, rolled in the pouring rain and quickly resumed their relentless assault. Wang Xichuan's expression grew colder; at this rate, he feared he might fall.
But this was just the beginning. Moments later, Yin Thunder began to mix with the rain. These bolts of Yin Thunder did not merely consume Wang Xichuan's magical energy; they directly shook his Magic Shield violently, leaving it in a precarious state.
Seeing this, Wang Xichuan quickly tapped his storage bag, and with a snap, a wooden umbrella opened up, shielding him from the rain and Thunder Balls. However, there was no trace of relief on his face; the current situation had exceeded his expectations.
This Wooden Umbrella Artifact was a fully defensive artifact that provided protection against all five elemental spells and artifacts, particularly effective against Thunder Law.
However, as any cultivator would tell you, a fully defensive artifact would not possess Yin Attribute or counter Yin Attribute capabilities. This was because materials with Yin Attributes could hardly merge with materials of other attributes.
When it came to countering, fire and lightning attribute spells and artifacts were natural enemies of Yin Spirits and Ghostly Entities, so there was no need for special preparations. Thus, while this Wooden Umbrella Artifact temporarily held off the Black Rain and Yin Thunder, Wang Xichuan could still feel the corrosive influence of Yin Malevolence on the artifact.
Wang Xichuan could not allow Yin Sha Hei Yu to destroy this artifact. Therefore, he poured more magical energy into his Magic Shield, causing its flames to surge dramatically, incinerating the surrounding Yin Sha Hei Yu. While this preserved the Wooden Umbrella Artifact, it also increased Wang Xichuan's energy consumption significantly.
Wang Xichuan understood that this little thief aimed to wear him down slowly. He abandoned his insistence on maintaining the Realm and withdrew the magical energy he had placed in it, allowing him to unleash many techniques he had previously refrained from using.
He now realized how formidable this formation was; if he continued to break it down slowly, his chances of survival were slim. The simplest and most direct solution was to eliminate the formation's master. Once that was done, dismantling an unattended formation would be much easier.
Attacking the formation's master from within was nearly impossible; however, Wang Xichuan had a way to do it. While defending against the endless waves of beasts and Black Rain and Yin Thunder, he began to weave hand signs and chant incantations.
Xunuo observed from outside the formation and recognized that the Blue-Eyed White-Haired Practitioner was channeling a powerful spell. Such spells typically required longer casting times. Although Xunuo had confidence in his formation, he did not want to complicate matters by allowing the Blue-Eyed White-Haired Practitioner to turn the tide.
With a shake of the Main Array Flag, several Foundation Establishment Stage-level Yin Soul Beasts appeared around Wang Xichuan. As more Yin Soul Beasts continued to flood in, this time nine Foundation Establishment Stage-level beasts gathered—four powerful melee-type beasts charged toward Wang Xibo while five others unleashed spells from a distance.
Halfway through casting his spell, upon seeing so many high-level Yin Soul Beasts approaching, Wang Xichuan dared not delay any longer. He quickly changed his technique and engaged in battle with the group of high-level beasts. Xunuo had already concealed Heavenly Shadow Spike around Wang Xibo, waiting for any sign of weakness to strike decisively.
However, Xunuo sensed that he could not unleash Heavenly Shadow Spike's full power; even its hidden attributes had diminished somewhat. This was naturally due to sustaining injuries when slaying the Black Bear Soul Beast within Barrier Space. It needed time to recover its spirit but fortunately had not been fundamentally damaged; thus, Xunuo's most potent artifact remained intact.
Yet Wang Xichuan faced nine Yin Soul Beasts without any fear; instead, he drove them back relentlessly. Each spell he cast struck true against the Yin Soul Beasts, inflicting severe injuries and forcing them to retreat.
However, Wang Xichuan clearly lacked his previous domineering methods and was unable to deliver a fatal blow. The Yin Soul Beasts in the Yin Sha Hei Yu recovered rapidly, leading to a stalemate between both sides. This was not the situation Wang Xichuan wished to see, so he had no choice but to employ some sharper techniques originally prepared for dealing with Xunuo to address the predicament posed by in front of.
Wang Xichuan pressed his palms together and spun them in reverse; when he separated his hands, they glowed a fiery red. He coldly gazed at the surrounding Yin Soul Beasts and struck out with four swift palm strikes. These four strikes transformed into four fire dragons that lunged at the four robust Yin Soul Beasts, their power seemingly surpassing that of magical artifacts.
The four Yin Soul Beasts reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, with some exuding rolling Yin Qi while others were engulfed in Cold Flames, colliding with the four fire dragons. Indeed, these fire dragons were extraordinary; upon contact, they shattered the Cold Flames and Yin Qi surrounding the Yin Soul Beasts and devoured them whole. In an instant, four crimson fireballs twisted and writhed in the air, revealing the dying struggles of the trapped Yin Soul Beasts within.
Moments later, the four crimson flames dissipated with a puff, leaving behind shattered pieces of Yin Soul Stone. The remaining five Yin Soul Beasts, witnessing Wang Xichuan instantly slay four of their companions, were understandably horrified and dared not approach any closer. Instead, they resorted to bombarding him from a distance with spells.
Wang Xichuan's spell was called Golden Crow Red Flame, which had become his most powerful spell as he advanced in his realm. This spell could also be upgraded; currently, its power was comparable to that of an Intermediate Magical Artifact, making it effortless to slay these Foundation Establishment Stage-level Yin Soul Beasts.
However, the mana consumption of this spell was equally astonishing. In such a Yin Sha environment, mana could only be replenished through spirit stones, and Wang Xibo was reluctant to activate this spell lightly. Yet since he had already made his move, he couldn't allow those remaining Yin Soul Beasts to disrupt his plans. Wang Xibo rubbed his hands together and struck out five more palm strikes, sending forth another five fire dragons.
In fact, during the intervals between Wang Xichuan's strikes, he exposed a gap in his defense. When he first unleashed his palm strike, Xunuo failed to seize the opportunity and allowed him to slay four high-level Yin Soul Beasts. This time, Xunuo would not let such an opportunity slip by.
As Wang Xichuan unleashed his five strikes, he sensed a slight fluctuation of mana around him. Being a seasoned warrior, he did not take the time to discern it carefully; instead, he swiftly stepped to the left. This seemingly casual step was incredibly profound. In the next moment, Six Heavenly Shadow Darts appeared simultaneously at the spot where Wang Xichuan had just stood before vanishing into thin air.
Xunuo sighed outside the formation; he felt utterly helpless against such near-teleportation movement spells. Not only could he not cultivate such techniques himself, but his means of countering them were also lacking. Especially when facing an opponent who was over a realm above him and having no advantage in Divine Sense whatsoever—other than relying on the power of the formation to gradually wear down his opponent—he had almost no other options.
However, although Xunuo's ambush this time did not succeed, it did disrupt Wang Xichuan's control over the Golden Crow Red Flame spell. The five fire dragons charged forward fiercely but were evaded by the high-level Yin Soul Beasts. The Heavenly Shadow Spikes sank into the Yin Sha as if fine rain merging seamlessly into water.
