Chapter 471 - 331: Battling Songg Yuyang, Taking the Lead!

"Boom!"

The Yin Evil surged like an avalanche, sweeping across the heavens, rolling in and covering the land, intending to devour all living beings within it.

Yet, there were two figures who, step by step, resisted the pervasive Yin Evil, crossing the great lake, heading toward the place where the treasure light shimmered.

One walked leisurely, hands behind his back, as if taking a stroll in the countryside, with unhurried steps.

The other, with blue clouds overhead, wielded a Defensive Great Seal. Although capable of resisting the Yin Evil, he lacked a bit of ease and transcendence.

However, there was little difference in their speed, and they proceeded together toward the treasure light.

The Yin Evil dissipated, leaving the world clear, and the treasure light was now visible in the distance.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"Sizzle!"

Feeling the presence of the living, countless wandering Soldier Souls outside the treasure light transformed into phantasmal shadows of swords, spears, axes, and halberds, attacking the two.

"Zheng!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, and dozens of sword lights split forth, each one flashing like thunder, carrying a domineering and masculine force, dispersing all the attacking Soldier Souls.

Songg Yuyang’s head was framed by the quivering Annihilation Word Seal, sweeping everything with an invisible wind.

Under the combined efforts of the two, these Soldier Souls, strong enough to kill an ordinary Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, vanished into gray smoke, leaving the area outside the treasure light clean, with only a hazy shadow floating within.

"Buzzing!"

Seemingly sensing a threat, the treasure light intensified, revealing a gray Jade Gui.

On the Jade Gui, gray inscriptions and Dao Seals glowed brightly, exuding an indescribable Spiritual Nature.

The endless Yin Evil Power surged continuously from the great lake, only to be absorbed by the Dao Seals on the Jade Gui, as if the Gui contained a "submarine murky eye" capable of absorbing everything.

Though the Yin Evil rolled, the Jade Gui accepted it without resistance; instead of any damage to its inscriptions, they became even more radiant, with dense Spiritual Light almost overflowing.

"It truly is a Treasure Tablet that can absorb Yin Evil for its own use!"

Songg Yuyang’s eyes focused as he slowly spoke.

The Spirit Charm of this Treasure Tablet was rare in his lifetime; after thousands of years of nurturing, it could be said that it had one foot in the realm of Spiritual Treasures.

However, it seemed to lack a crucial element, preventing it from undergoing a qualitative transformation.

Songg Yuyang was determined to acquire this treasure, yet as he looked at Gu Yuan beside him, uneasiness arose again in his heart, though he forcibly suppressed it.

"The treasure has appeared; without doubt, this is fate. Do you still wish to compete with me, Fellow Daoist?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan turned, smiling slightly, and asked Songg Yuyang.

Songg Yuyang’s heart instantly turned cold.

Since he began his cultivation, it was always him asking others if they dared to compete. When was it someone else’s turn to ask him?

"Crossing the Yin Evil is not key; although your Soul Power is superior, I can still defeat you!"

At this point, Songg Yuyang realized that Gu Yuan’s Soul Power surpassed his own, but he remained confident in defeating him. With a cold snort, he extended a finger, causing the Annihilation Word Seal to shine brightly. A terrifying breeze silently swept toward Gu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

"If the Divine Will Sect possesses only this seal, you may as well retreat today!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.

The Soul-annihilating Wind, capable of instantly killing ordinary Mid-stage Golden Core cultivators or Demon Beasts, was nothing more than a gentle breeze in the face of his surging Soul Power.

"Dread!"

The Annihilation Seal failed, but Songg Yuyang was not surprised. He immediately opened his mouth to utter lightly, and the Dread Seal emerged. In an instant, the surroundings of Gu Yuan seemed conscious, as if Divine Spirits clenched their fists, or ice coated the world, a mighty force surged, intending to freeze Gu Yuan in mid-air or crush him to death.

"Boom!"

Yet, Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, and a dazzling sword light, carrying an incomparable sharpness like the Heaven-Opening Sword, slashed the world apart, continuing its momentum toward Songg Yuyang’s neck.

Songg Yuyang’s face darkened.

Though he had anticipated Gu Yuan’s Sword Technique, facing it in person was still shocking.

The sharpness of the sword bore the taste of a master’s charm.

"Primordial Magnetic Treasure Gourd!"

But he remained unfazed; he had long been prepared to face a Sword Cultivator.

With a wave of his hand, a silver treasure gourd flew from his sleeve, growing in the wind, enlarging to the size of a zhang in the blink of an eye. From the gourd surged an immense force, causing the sword light to be uncontrollably absorbed into it, disappearing from sight.

The Primordial Magnetic Treasure Gourd, a unique Spiritual Gourd of the Divine Will Sect, takes three hundred years to blossom, three hundred to fruit, and three hundred more to mature, only to be picked after nine hundred years.

This natural Tier Three High-grade treasure contains infinite Power of Primordial Magnetism, absorbing all Gold Qi spells into its interior, transforming them into clear water in no time.

This treasure is most effective against Sword Cultivators.

If the Sword Pill’s quality is low, this gourd could forcibly absorb the opponent’s Sword Pill, nullifying both sword and seal, rendering their swordsmanship unusable.

After his advancement post-Golden Core, Songg Yuyang traversed the Great Domain, encountering Sword Cultivators. Yet, relying on this gourd, he prevailed without exception. At East Qiao Mountain, having seen Gu Yuan’s Sword Technique, he remained confident of victory, with this gourd being a part of that confidence.

"Thinking a single gourd could nullify my full swordsmanship—what Sword Dao would I practice then!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan merely laughed heartily!

He waved his sleeve again, not retreating but advancing, directly summoning his Sword Pill.

The Sword Pill transformed into a rainbow, like a golden lightning bolt, slicing through the void and suddenly cleaving toward the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Gourd.

All things counteract each other, yet this also depends on level.
