Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 559: Chapter 82: The Price of Survival

Anything even remotely related to the Power of Space

was never ordinary.

Even though the black-skirted girl was a Candidate Saintess of the Celestial Demon Sect, receiving the full support of the old Xiangshan Sect’s remnants—one could even say she had inherited all their hopes—

despite all that,

she had only been able to obtain this single Ancient Sky-Controlling Bracelet from that old ancestor!

It was the only item she possessed that was connected to the Power of Space.

In a way,

the Ancient Sky-Controlling Bracelet in her hand was the most precious treasure she owned!

In fact, the value of all her other possessions combined couldn’t compare to this one Ancient Sky-Controlling Bracelet!

Now, seeing that her opponent also possessed something similar,

how could the black-skirted girl not feel a covetous desire?

This was an absolutely immense fortune!

Even if it was incompatible with her and she couldn’t use it, she could sell it to a Divine Travel Realm Cultivator for an astronomical price!

Numerous thoughts flashed through the black-skirted girl’s mind.

She mobilized all the Magical Power in her body, surging it like a torrent into the Ancient Sky-Controlling Bracelet. The profound light on the Spiritual Qi artifact grew increasingly brilliant,

as she activated the Ancient Sky-Controlling Bracelet’s power to its absolute limit!

At that exact moment,

the terrifying fist that concentrated all of Shen Changchuan’s immense power, shaking the very sky, came crashing down!

It smashed violently into the pale white Light Ring!

The two incomparably powerful attacks,

like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object,

collided head-on!

BOOM!!!

In that instant,

the entire world seemed to lose its color.

The collision between two instances of the Power of Space produced a terrifying annihilation. Within a radius of a thousand zhang, the world seemed to be drained of all hues, leaving only black and white!

At the same time,

all sound

vanished!

It was as if even the sound of the impact itself had been pulverized and annihilated by the clash infused with the Power of Space!

This part of the world seemed to have been plunged into a black-and-white photograph!

This was a clash at the Soul Emergence Peak Realm,

and a terrifying confrontation of the Power of Space!

The sheer horror of that power instilled a terrifying sense of despair in everyone present, a feeling that death was imminent.

It felt as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to descend upon the world,

and yet they were all powerless, able to do nothing but watch and wait for death!

RUMBLE!!!

The entire world began to tremble.

The horrifyingly extreme fluctuations of power swept across the land in all directions!

Then,

a light as dazzling as the sun rose, piercing through the monochrome world!

The earth beneath their feet collapsed, as if erased by an invisible, giant hand. In the blink of an eye, a bottomless abyss several miles wide had formed!

This was the scene created by the terrifying aftershocks of the clash!

Amidst this dreadful sight,

the entire Enlightenment Grotto Heaven shook violently!

Massive abyssal fissures spread out in all directions, ”dismembering” the land and shattering it to pieces!

It was a scene akin to the end of the world!

The prodigies from the Outer Realm, who had been watching the battle from a distance,

now saw a visible shockwave roaring toward them like a tidal wave!

”Oh no! Retreat!”

Looks of terror appeared on everyone’s faces.

Their figures hurriedly retreated,

dodging the horrifying impact that was bearing down on them!

Countless tons of sand and dirt were swept up into the sky by the gale, dyeing the heavens a muddy yellow.

This entire corner of the world

had now been stirred into a complete mess!

Meanwhile,

at the center of the collision,

Shen Changchuan’s figure was knocked back seven zhang,

while on the other side,

the black-skirted girl was knocked back more than twenty zhang.

Judging purely by the distance they were pushed back,

it seemed Shen Changchuan had gained the upper hand in this exchange.

However,

his opponent had ultimately withstood the blow!

She had endured Shen Changchuan’s attack!

’Worthy of a Ninth Layer Peak expert, a being on the same level as an Immortal Sect Daoist!’

’Even though I took the initiative with a sneak attack, wounded her, and followed up with a relentless pursuit that left her in a sorry state, she still keenly seized the opportunity to counterattack!’

’And the fact that this collision failed to injure her again,

means that,

after this exchange, she has already regained her footing!’

This was definitely not good news for Shen Changchuan.

Because,

she was, after all, an expert at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak!

As long as she could catch her breath and recover from his relentless assault, she would be able to use her superior Realm to suppress him instead!

She could even turn the tables and claim victory!

Therefore,

’I have to end this quickly!’

’I have no choice but to use *that*!’

Shen Changchuan’s expression turned serious,

his decision made in an instant.

A Jade Talisman suddenly appeared

in his hand.

Without a shred of hesitation, Shen Changchuan gripped the Jade Talisman and crushed it!

BOOM!!!

A vast and magnificent aura erupted. The terrifying level of this power even overwhelmed the aftershocks of Magical Power Energy from the previous impact, as if it reigned supreme over all heavens!

It was the Jade Talisman that sealed a single strike from his master, Master Wandering Dragon!

A mighty torrent of Divine Soul Power crushed down, covering every corner of the Void Heaven!

At the same time,

Shen Changchuan continuously poured Magical Power into the Void Escape Gu in his Palm Heart Acupoint, stimulating it to mobilize its power and disrupt the surrounding void to prevent her from using that bracelet to escape!

’I already figured it out from that last exchange.’

’Your Divine Soul is your weakness!’

’Die!’

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Changchuan’s eyes.

In the battle just now, he had first relied on the Void Escape Gu to disrupt space, preventing her from using Spatial Teleportation to escape and catching her off guard.

After successfully injuring her, the second wave of attacks followed immediately.

Leading that second wave was a Divine Soul Secret Skill attack, which successfully made her freeze for a moment.

It was in that instant

that Shen Changchuan discovered his opponent seemed to have a flaw regarding her Divine Soul—a clear opening!

’Not good!!!’

The immense Divine Soul Attack was like a physical substance, even affecting the surrounding space!

Shen Changchuan had guessed correctly.

The Dao of the Divine Soul

was indeed her Achilles’ heel!

So much so that now,

facing a Divine Soul strike from the Divine Travel Peak Realm Master Wandering Dragon, the black-skirted girl felt as if she had plunged into a desperate abyss of death. An infinitely terrifying Grim Reaper was swinging its scythe down at her head!

At this moment,

there was no escape!

”You young bastard! How dare you!”

And in that very instant,

from beyond the heavens,

came an aged, furious roar.

Outside, beyond the Array Light Curtain, a black, profound light swept across the sky, and the terrifying aura of the Divine Travel Realm overturned the world!

But,

it was too late!

Before the black lightning-like profound light in the distance could descend,

Master Wandering Dragon’s attack from Shen Changchuan’s Jade Talisman had already enveloped the black-skirted girl!

However,

BANG!

Just as the immense, tangible Divine Soul Power was about to crush the black-skirted girl,

she used some unknown method.

An arm and a leg instantly exploded, turning into a sky-full of blood mist.

At the same time,

space rippled,

and her entire person vanished without a trace!
