The Annihilation Pearl became a black hole-like maw. An invisible force immediately sucked away Qi Lin’s magical energy, and his soul and sensory organs seemed to be absorbed as well. Although it had been trapped in the Valley of Two Burdens for a thousand years, with its magical energy and abilities even suppressed to the point it was a mere Primordial Infant Realm, the Annihilation Pearl that the Yayu had refined was its most reliable magic treasure. A Golden Core cultivator was practically helpless against it.
Qi Lin activated the Green Satchel Book. Pulsing green light protected his entire body and resisted the Annihilation Pearl’s suction.
“A mere Golden Core dares to defy This One.” The Yayu moved its body, slamming into Qi Lin as a stream of light.
Not good.
Its impact was much more formidable and powerful than a cultivator’s sword chant when combined with the Annihilation Pearl’s magical energy suction. The Great Earth Stele firmly trapped Qi Lin, who could only activate the “Soul-crushing Wheel” magic treasure. It expanded, but before it could fully activate, it was completely devoured by the Annihilation Pearl.
“Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles!!”
Qi Lin had merely used the Soul-crushing Wheel as bait while he activated another magic treasure.
The Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles warped in midair, turning into multi-colored halos that clamped down on the Yayu’s limbs and neck. The Five Elements Universe Origin Shackle’s power immediately restricted its movements. The Yayu’s speed was extremely fast, eating humans in the blink of an eye, far quicker than a Golden Core cultivator’s Divine Intent could react to. Qi Lin also wanted to rely on the Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles to first restrict its speed. Otherwise, he would be following after the others in the next face-off.
“Brat, you honestly have too many magic treasures.” The Yayu was stunned. It struggled briefly. The Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles derived their restraints from the power of the Five Elements. So long as the target was not outside the Five Elements, it would be extremely difficult to struggle free.
The Yayu struggled more, its human face extremely furious yet delighted. “Very good. Once This One eats you, perhaps I can break out of this valley.”
The Annihilation Pearl was recalled, and it hovered over the Yayu’s head. Then, black light glowed and released an evil wind.
The Valley of Two Burdens filled with a gust, boundless all around.
The evil wind was like a blade, leaving Qi Lin’s entire body aching. The Zhi Bell’s ancient tone became ineffective in the demonic wind, gradually losing its magical energy. The Divine Consciousness upon the magic weapon was erased, and at the same time, the Great Earth Stele also wailed. The stele’s vast power was blown asunder by the evil wind, and the other magic treasure’s Divine Consciousness was similarly wiped, reducing it to an ordinary tablet.
Freed of the Great Earth Stele’s shackles, Qi Lin nevertheless did not feel any relief. The evil wind was everywhere, and it contained frightening thoughts. Those were the grudges and resentment of countless souls heaped together over the last thousand years.
In this evil wind, Qi Lin was aghast to discover that his Divine Consciousness on the Green Satchel Book was erased by the evil wind, and the Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles’ Divine Intent was also slowly being eroded.
“How is this magic treasure’s power so formidable.” Qi Lin’s expression changed enormously.
The Yayu laughed, pleased with itself. Its infant-like cackle was ear-piercing.
The Annihilation Pearl’s evil wind was capable of erasing the thoughts on all magic treasures, severing a cultivator’s link to them. Primordial World’s combat was most reliant on magic treasures. If a cultivator lost magic treasure support, it was very difficult to get by on magical energy alone.
Under this evil wind, Qi Lin was unable to use his thoughts.
The Yayu was worthy of being called the Ancient Strange Beast of Western Kunlun that aspired to becoming a god. Such a terrifying ability and magic treasure was unheard of.
“Give This One your soul to devour.” The Yayu opened its mouth wide.
Without magic treasure support, Qi Lin was already a helpless sheep waiting for slaughter in its eyes.
“Weight Of Mount Tai!!”
Qi Lin shouted and used the Destined Skill.
The power of the Five Sacred Mountains burst forth. The Yayu destroyed thoughts on all magic treasure, but it was unable to eliminate the divine might of a Destined Skill. The Yayu was shocked, “A Destined Skill…” It advance was firmly stymied by the Weight Of Mount Tai.
“Die.” The Yayu was furious as it swiped its claws.
A shadow suddenly scuttled out from behind Qi Lin and intercepted the Yayu’s claw.
Bang.
The ring of a weapon. The Yayu’s tiger claw ached, and the Strange Beast was pushed back a hundred paces with an enormous din. Amidst the rolling evil wind, a young girl stood in front of Qi Lin. That girl’s face was young and adorable, a canine tooth faintly visible. In her hand was the Meteoric Iron Divine Staff. Although she was lovable, an evil qi emanated from her entire body. This evil qi swirled in the demonic wind, surprisingly stopping it.
“Qi Qi, why are you so late.” Qi Lin sighed in relief.
“Apologies, Big Brother, this valley was a bit hard to enter.” Qi Qi shook the staff, and her forehead Divine Crest glowed.
“Divine General!”
The Yayu was taken aback as it immediately realized the pair’s relationship, “So you turned out to be an Invested Deity Emissary. Then, This One must devour you two.”
“Demon, a thing like you wants to transcend the Five Elements and become a Divine Name?” Qi Qi pointed her staff at the Yayu and disdainfully said.
“Courting death.”
The Annihilation Pearl hurtled towards Qi Qi. All of a sudden, the black hole consumed all power in the surroundings.
Qi Qi beamed. She somersaulted and swung the Divine Staff. Its wind gusted as she easily struck the Annihilation Pearl. The pearl’s power was surprisingly unable to withstand the blow. The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Divine Energy was far more powerful than the Yayu could have imagined; the Annihilation Pearl could hardly absorb it.
The Yayu soared. Using the Annihilation Pearl’s power, it wildly swung its claws at Qi Qi.
Man and beast fought in midair, trading hundreds of blows in the blink of an eye. Qi Lin seized the chance to immediately stabilize his breathing.
The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven possessed an impervious body. Even the Yayu’s claws could hardly pierce through. On the contrary, Qi Qi’s every blow was strong and mighty, beating the Yayu silly. Qi Qi’s body techniques were demonic, and her staff-shadows blotted out the sky. The Yayu was a bit powerless as its entire body was left battered and bruised.
“Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers Break!!”
The Yayu was caught off guard and injured by the Hundred Thousand Destinies Technique. Its body rolled and rolled for a hundred meters, slamming apart a cave.
“Bastard.”
The Yayu roared, flinging countless fragments of stone. Qi Qi deflected them with her staff as she smirked at the Yayu, which was frightened witless. This girl was too tyrannical. The Yayu turned and fled.
“What, is this all you are capable of, demon?” Qi Qi was very bloodthirsty.
“If not for being trapped in the Two Burdens and being injured by Primordial Infants, what could you do to This One?” The Yayu was unreconciled.
“Then This Old Sun can only let you die full of resentment.” Qi Qi hafted the Meteoric Iron Staff.
Yayu suddenly flew off, instantly moving to attack Qi Lin. To confront a Divine General, as long as it killed the emissary first, it could still have a chance. Qi Lin was long on guard, however, and he had already nocked the Cloud-piercing Arrow and drawn the Heaven-shaking Bow. The Annihilation Pearl’s evil wind could hardly wipe away his imprint on the Dark Heaven magic treasure. When the Yayu saw that the situation was unfavorable, and it used another escape technique.
Qi Qi and Qi Lin both pursued when they just so happened to catch sight of Ancestor Three Truths battling Wan Xinyi. Wan Xinyi used the “Gan’s Fang Divine Blade” to clash fiercely against Ancestor Three Truths’ Three Truths Sword Chant. This Wan Xinyi was also a Primordial Early Stage cultivator, having trained his skills under the Western Kunlun Mountains. For the time being, Ancestor Three Truths was unable to break free.
The Yayu’s sudden appearance caught Ancestor Three Truths off guard. Its speed was extremely fast, devouring humans in an instant. The Annihilation Pearl attacked Ancestor Three Truths, breaking all of his abilities. Then, the Yayu opened its maw and swallowed the old man whole with his Primordial Infant.
“Lord Yayu.” Wan Xinyi was shocked.
“Help This One stall that girl.” The Yayu growled. Then, it attacked Elder Min. This Strange Beast was savage and cunning; it planned to first consume a few cultivators to recover its magical energy.
Wan Xinyi received his orders. Seeing the pursuing Qi Qi, he was shocked. How could this little girl suddenly have such immense strength to repel the Yayu. A Divine Name? Wan Xinyi did not have time to think.
He raised the Gan’s Fang Divine Blade.
The blade was like a sluice gate, several dozen blade shadows appeared to obstruct Qi Qi.
“Fuck off.”
The evil qi in Qi Qi’s eyes flooded the sky, and her Divine Energy was unparalleled. She attacked with a Million Destinies technique. Wan Xinyi gasped as the Gan’s Fang Divine Blade disintegrated. The man promptly retreated, but he was already too late. The Meteoric Iron Divine Staff instantly smashed his head, shattering his skull.
Wan Xinyi screamed. His Primordial Infant screamed out and flew out from his head as identical to him in appearance though palm-sized.
This was his Primordial Infant. Primordial Infant Realm cultivators trained their Primordial Infants, condensing their soul’s thoughts into the Primordial Infant. By doing so, even if their corporeal body was to be disintegrated, their soul would not be destroyed. So long as the Primordial Infant could escape, a physical body could be refined in the future. This was the Primordial Infant Realm’s greatest ability, which could be called a second life.
The Primordial Infant was also capable of continuing operation of magic treasures and abilities, but the one he faced was the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, whose evil qi did not stop once it surged. Wan Xinyi’s Primordial Infant was rolled into multiple staff-shadows by scorching evil wind before it could fully activate. In the span of a breath, it was ground to pieces. Against Middle Ancient Divine Realm Divine Energy, the Primordial Infant cultivator was completely helpless to resist.
Seeing the situation was deteriorating, the Yayu hurried over to Elder Min and played the same trick again. Without a magic treasure on the level of the Great Earth Stele, Min Lao struggled briefly before being killed.
“Ah.” Wan Zhongnan watched Qi Qi slaughter everything in her path, appearing menacing. He did not care to be cannon fodder like Wan Xinyi. The man did not hesitate at all to turn and flee the valley.
“Coward.”
The Yayu arrived beside him.
“Lord Yayu!!” Wan Zhongnan screamed in despair.
“Crunch.”
The Yayu did not hesitate at all to eat him.
Having eaten three cultivators’ Primordial Infants and souls in succession, the Yayu immediately absorbed their magical energy and refined it, rejuvenating itself.
“A man-eating Demon Beast like you vainly desires to become a Divine Name. Ridiculous.” Qi Lin witnessed its savagery. It had consumed even its own servants, and he could not help but feel some disdain for it.
The Yayu had absorbed three Primordial Infants. That human face endlessly twisted, surprisingly adopting the appearances of Wan Zhongnan and Elder Min.
“Only those who eat men among men can become a god above gods.”
The Yayu’s human face turned into Elder Min’s likeness and eerily sneered: “Today, This One must eat you two. This One can escape this valley now.”
“This Old Sun fears you will not eat anything.”
Qi Qi landed in front of her big brother, gripping her Divine Staff.
“You are merely Middle Ancient Divine Realm. This One has devoured other such Divine Names.” The Yayu opened its mouth, and the Annihilation Pearl fired a beam of black light.
Qi Qi’s weapon blocked the black light.
“Rebound!!”
The Annihilation Pearl suddenly dispersed, becoming several black lights that fell into the Valley of Two Burdens.
Whoosh.
Five halos suddenly clasped around Qi Qi’s arms and neck. Upon careful inspection, they were surprisingly Qi Lin’s Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles. The Five Elements Universe Origin Shackles had been wiped by the Yayu using its ability to erase thoughts. Then, it used the Annihilation Pearl’s power to brand its own imprint and use them against her.
“Shit.”
Qi Lin knew this was bad. As expected, he spotted the masterless Great Earth Stele and Zhi Bell had both been imbued with black light and had become the Yayu’s magic treasure for the moment.
The Great Earth Stele descended towards Qi Qi and Qi Lin.
The Zhi Bell range, echoing across a dozen li, its sound endless.
“Ha, ha. Die.”
Seeing its abilities were going as it pleased, the Yayu cackled.
