Boom! Wang Chong experienced something completely unexpected. His Psychic Energy was so terrifying that it could penetrate through the toughest steel, but in the face of this walking corpse from the Eastern Han Dynasty, it felt like it had rammed into a mountain. His Psychic Energy was like an unceasing torrent of water, but before it could even enter the body of the walking corpse, it was shattered.

A Psychic Seal!

Wang Chong's mind trembled. This feeling was far too familiar, but the Psychic Seal Wang Chong was familiar with could only be laid down through an immense formation.

Wang Chong had never imagined that someone could carve a Psychic Seal onto someone's body, and based on the toughness, the Psychic Seal was even stronger than the one in the caves.

This was a Psychic Seal like none he had ever encountered, powerful and mysterious!

As these thoughts flew through his mind, his Stellar Energy slammed into the dazzling golden light.

The Great Destruction Art was one of the strongest techniques of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, and there was almost nothing in the world that it could not break through. Even a titan of the martial arts world like Song Yuanyi needed to focus completely when dealing with it. But when Wang Chong's Great Destruction Art collided with the golden light…

Buzz!

As the two strongest Stellar Energies in the world collided, that soft and gentle golden light suddenly transformed into a turning golden compass, and then a second, a third… In the blink of an eye, nearly one hundred golden compasses of various sizes had appeared.

These compasses were turning like gears, linking together to ultimately take the form of a massive fortress.

As Wang Chong's Great Destruction Art collided with this fortress, it was like water striking a sieve. It was instantly divided into tens of thousands of different streams, the golden compasses dividing it up and sending them to the second layer and third layer of the fortress. A few moments later, Wang Chong's Stellar Energy had been completely dispersed.

"How could this be?!"

As Wang Chong sensed the changes to his Stellar Energy, his body trembled in shock and disbelief.

This power was different from the Great Yin Yang Art, as it did not divide the attack into two parts. Instead, it had somehow managed to take that pure destructive energy and divide it again and again until there was nothing left. This transformative power left the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art in its dust.

Wang Chong suddenly understood why his master had said that the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art could supplement the innate flaws of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

"Chong-er! How are you here?!" the Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly said, obviously shocked. He had never imagined that the person charging into the palace at this time would be Wang Chong.

But there was no time to think, and the Demonic Emperor Old Man soon bellowed a warning brimming with unease and concern.

"Dodge!"

Boom! Wang Chong was given no time to react, and while he was still in a daze, an immense energy erupted from the golden compass fortress around the walking corpse. This energy was somewhat similar to the power of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, but it was also rather different. An even greater power seemed to be mixed into it.

"How could this be?!"

Wang Chong understood something and immediately rushed backward, but he was too late. The boundless energy slammed into him and sent his body flying like a ragdoll.

Bang! Wang Chong slammed into the wall, a shock traveling through all his organs. Wang Chong was already suffering from cultivation defect, and this sudden impact caused him to immediately pale and vomit blood. His entire aura instantly became weak and feeble.

"What terrifying strength!"

Wang Chong felt a mental shock like never before.

When cultivated to a profound level, the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art could actually neutralize an opponent's energy and then return it. This was an absurd power, and it far exceeded the strength of the sixth- and fifth-generation successors.

"Chong-er, what's your condition?!" the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief frantically called out, their minds in disarray. The third-generation successor was much more frightening than the previous generations, with an ability to neutralize and return attacks that had not been seen before.

The Wushang Village Chief and the Demonic Emperor Old Man had been fighting him for quite some time and were extremely familiar with this power, but Wang Chong had clearly known nothing about it.

"Master, forget about me! I'm fine!"

Wang Chong's body slid down the wall, and he quickly crossed his legs, took a pill, and began to pacify his energy.

Every one of the Origin Immortal Lord's disciples had been a dazzling genius of immense power. At this level of battle, the smallest distraction could lead to severe consequences. Wang Chong did not want to become this distraction for his master and the Wushang Village Chief.

Fierce winds howled within the underground palace as the battle raged, dashing the heavy incense burners against the walls and littering the floor with their remains.

At the center, the Demonic Emperor Old Man exploded with light as countless bolts of energy howled through the air, each one sharper than a sword. He pushed the Myriad Spirit Sea Art to its limits as he unleashed a torrent of attacks on the walking corpse.

The Wushang Village Chief's beard trembled as five streams of energy in the form of dragons worked with the white dragon that was the transformed cane to barrage the successor.

Both of them had benefited from the battle with Qutaybah, allowing them to comprehend a portion of the Subtle realm's strength. Entering the Subtle realm was now just a matter of time.

But this walking corpse shrouded by his golden fortress had forced them into a passive position. If this continued, all of them would die, Wang Chong included.

"I've come to help you!"

With a roar, the Lone Silence Ancestor shot onto the scene like a bolt of lightning.

But even the entry of the Lone Silence Ancestor could only slightly alleviate the group's situation. The walking corpse's power to absorb and counter attacks was simply too ridiculous.

If they weren't top-class experts who were working together, each with abundant battle experience, they would probably already be dead.

The air in the palace was tense and explosions rang out. Wang Chong sat by a wall, using the medicinal power of the pill to heal his injuries. The energy that had been scattered by the walking corpse's attack was beginning to gather back in his meridians.

But a moment later, an intense pain came from an acupuncture point on his back, scattering the Stellar Energy he had just managed to gather and causing him to vomit blood. As the floor was painted a frightening crimson, Wang Chong's aura once more fell into disarray.

"How could it be like this?"

Wang Chong gripped his chest, his body trembling. He had never imagined that one of the periodic flare-ups of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art would take place now. A moment later, the acupuncture points and meridians around the initial site began to writhe and twist, and this included his dantian.

The intense pain made Wang Chong turn ghastly pale, and cold beads of sweat came down his forehead in a downpour. And when it rained, it poured. As Wang Chong was beginning to suffer a flare-up, the Wushang Village Chief, Demonic Emperor Old Man, and Lone Silence Ancestor were about to face an unprecedented assault.

"Watch out! He's going to use his ultimate technique!" the Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly cried out, his long and disheveled hair madly flying around him. The three of them instantly began to retreat, but it was too late.

The walking corpse had apparently been accumulating power through his Origin Immortal Art during this battle, and now that he had enough, his body swelled, erupting with a light and energy even more blinding and dazzling than before.

The grandiose pavilion of the 'Trayastrimsa Heaven' seemed to become even more solid, on the verge of becoming reality.

Bang!

With a mountain-sundering explosion, the hundreds of golden compasses around the walking corpse exploded outward, carried along by Origin Immortal Stellar Energy and sweeping toward the trio.

This attack swiftly caught up to the retreating trio.

In a more spacious area, the three of them might have been able to escape, but in the narrow confines of the palace, even this thin ray of hope was snuffed out.

Boom! The weakest of the three, the Lone Silence Ancestor, was the first to be struck, but he was soon followed by the Wushang Village Chief and the Demonic Emperor Old Man. The tyrannical power of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art was difficult to imagine. In all the world, there was no art that was fiercer and more upright, that more embodied the Yang principle.

Fwoosh!

The Lone Silence Ancestor trembled and spat out blood as he was thrown back. The Wushang Village Chief and Demonic Emperor Old Man similarly paled and spat out blood as they were knocked aside by the boundless Origin Immortal Stellar Energy.
