Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 365: Chapter 362: Surprise Attack

That flicker of unease in his heart finally got to the bald man.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to end this quickly.

And so,

the moment he struck,

it was with his strongest technique!

As Magical Power circulated through his body, the Blood-Red Buddhist Bead String in his hand shot out. It rapidly expanded in midair, and the Magical Power Rope stringing the beads together snapped, scattering them like stars across the sky. Each one, like a small mountain, smashed down toward Shen Changchuan!

It was impossible to tell what the beads were made of.

As each one swelled to the size of a mountain or a star, a faint, intangible connection formed between them. They complemented one another, creating a strange force field that suppressed the very space around them!

The bald man went all out,

unleashing the full, unreserved power of his Soul Emergence Fourth Layer Cultivation.

He intended to crush his opponent,

unleashing a grand, majestic force that bore down on his target!

At that very moment,

Shen Changchuan felt an unprecedented pressure.

It was a feeling...

as if the entire sky, led by those massive blood-red Buddhist Beads, was crashing down upon him!

It was almost suffocating!

If an ordinary Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator were here,

one at the Soul Emergence Third Layer or below would have been suppressed on the spot, utterly powerless to resist!

But,

he was facing Shen Changchuan!

’Strong enough!’

’But still not enough!’

’You’re nowhere near as strong as Deng Xin was!’

Facing the immense pressure filling the sky, Shen Changchuan showed not a trace of fear on his face.

Instead, he burst out laughing.

Without a moment’s delay,

his hands each formed a seal,

and the Magical Power in his body began to circulate.

Tier Two Magic: Flaming Dragon Burning World!

Tier Two Magic: Gale Dragon Sword!

In an instant,

two Tier Two Magic skills were activated almost simultaneously.

This was a peak technique, only possible because both Tier Two Magic skills had reached the Perfection Level, thanks to the aid of the progress bar panel!

ROAR!

SHING!

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

The cry of a sword, carried on the wind, pierced the sky.

The two sounds intertwined.

Then,

under Shen Changchuan’s control,

the blazing fire dragon, hundreds of feet long, fused with the emerald sword-light dragon that whipped up a storm as it tore through the air!

The wind fanned the flames’ might.

The fire rode the wind’s momentum.

When the two forces collided, they didn’t explode or annihilate each other. Instead, they intertwined, producing an even more terrifying transformation!

Almost in a flash,

the furious, fiery dragon swelled to several times its original size!

Its once loose, ethereal flames seemed to grow an azure dragon skeleton.

It now had a tangible structure,

transforming from illusion into reality!

Within its furious, red-hot body, it now carried an indestructible, razor-sharp Sword Intent that seemed capable of piercing the heavens!

ROAR!!!

As if a True Dragon of flesh and blood had descended upon the mortal world,

its boundless, majestic might shook heaven and earth.

Instantly, a vast, primal, and magnificent aura surged forth, sweeping out in all directions!

All of this takes time to describe,

but in reality, from the moment the bald man attacked to when Shen Changchuan fused the two Tier Two Magic skills, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Before anyone could react,

the True Dragon roared,

swept across the sky,

and, wrapped in boundless power, crashed into the giant ’Meteors’ hurtling toward it!

BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!!!

A jaw-dropping collision began!

A blinding light blossomed in the sky.

Then,

in less than a tenth of a blink of an eye, the fiery True Dragon and the massive Buddhist Bead ’stars’ collided tens, even hundreds of times.

The air, as if ravaged thousands upon thousands of times, shattered repeatedly. Visible white shockwaves, one after another, spread out like tsunamis across the land and sky!

An area several miles in radius

was instantly engulfed by a terrifying storm that tore everything apart and pierced through heaven and earth!

The friction from the colliding torrents of violent wind even caused intense ionization, sending bolts of lightning tearing through the air to crack open the sky!

At the same time,

the ground beneath them seemed to be crushed downward by an invisible force.

The surrounding trees, along with their leaves and branches, were pulverized one after another.

Even the soil of the earth

was swept up by the gales and launched high into the air!

Not far away,

Shi Miaoying and the other two, caught completely off guard,

were forced to retreat rapidly under the impact of the terrifying collision that swept across the world.

They fell back for thousands of feet!

And at that same moment,

high in the sky,

the formation of eighteen Buddhist Beads that the bald man had shot out was completely shattered. One by one, the beads were smashed and sent flying.

The vacuum that had been suppressed by the interconnected Buddhist Beads,

like solid glass struck by an immense force,

instantly shattered to pieces!

”PFFT!”

”How is this possible?!?!”

His most powerful technique had been broken.

The bald man immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. Crimson droplets splattered across the sky, dyeing the front of his robes scarlet.

But at this moment,

he was in no state to care about such things.

His eyes, wide as bronze bells,

stared forward in disbelief.

’He broke my strongest move—the move of a Soul Emergence Fourth Layer expert—in a single blow?’

’An attack like that...’

’How is that possible?!’

’No matter how you look at it,’

’that kid is only at the Soul Emergence Second Layer!’

The bald man couldn’t understand it.

A storm of shock raged in his heart, and for a moment, he was completely stunned!

But what he didn’t know was,

that momentary lapse,

would lead directly to his death!

CRACKLE!

The faint sound of tearing lightning echoed.

As lightning flashed,

a hole, wide enough for one person, suddenly appeared in the torrent of flames sweeping across the sky.

And then,

right in front of the bald man,

Shen Changchuan’s figure suddenly appeared!

Thunder Shadow Swift Movement!

A Tier Two Body Technique at the Perfection Level!

In the bald man’s eyes, it was as if Shen Changchuan had just used Instant Teleportation, his body wreathed in faint flickers of lightning,

suddenly appearing right in front of him!

’This is bad!!!’

In that instant,

completely unprepared,

and still stunned by the unbelievable scene from before, the bald man’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks!

He realized he had made a fatal mistake!

But it was...

all too late!

Divine Skill: One Sword, Myriad Phenomena!

Shen Changchuan formed a sword with his fingers

and pointed.

In that moment,

the flow of time itself seemed to slow down!

Time and space seemed to warp and distort.

In the bald man’s perception,

the world seemed to freeze.

Only that finger, reflecting the light of the Myriad Phenomena of the Universe, moved through space with an unearthly grace, leaving no trace, and landed on his forehead!

’How could such a terrifying Soul Emergence Second Layer cultivator... exist in this world...’

That was the last thought that flashed through his mind.

The bald man’s consciousness plunged into the endless Dark Abyss,

and was extinguished completely.
