Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged. He raised a hand and unleashed a beam of Cyan Wood Divine Light.

BOOM!

The foremost Tier Two Corpse Refinement was instantly blown to pieces.

The remaining Corpse Refinements swarmed him, but they were all blocked by countless Talismans, unable to get anywhere near Li Chang’an.

Seeing this, the Fourth Saint Child snorted coldly.

From his Storage Pouch, dozens of giants made of ghastly white bone flew out once more. The aura of each one had reached Tier Two.

“Go! Slay Li Fan!”

Receiving their orders, the numerous bone giants charged toward Li Chang’an in unison.

Li Chang’an didn’t want to delay. With a thought, Sword Qi Talismans flew out one after another, bursting into flames and transforming into thirty-six streams of Sword Qi beside him.

“Sword Array, rise!”

The Sword Qi instantly formed an array, materializing as a brilliant sword gleam. It pierced through the swarms of Corpse Refinements and bone giants in a flash, its momentum undiminished as it shot toward the Fourth Saint Child upon his throne of skulls.

The Fourth Saint Child’s expression changed drastically. He directed flaming skulls to block its path.

RUMBLE!

The sword light was blinding, and Sword Qi surged violently.

Over a hundred skulls exploded in an instant, turning into a sky full of burning debris that rained down.

The Fourth Saint Child bought himself a moment’s respite, his face etched with lingering fear.

He would have never imagined that even without the Venerable Soul Banner, Li Chang’an could still possess such astonishing power.

“Li Fan, it seems I’ve underestimated you!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Chang’an launched a second Sword Array.

At the same time, thirty-six Sword Qi Talismans ignited beside him, rapidly forming a third Sword Array.

“Go!”

This Sword Array shot out instantly, following close behind the second one.

The Fourth Saint Child’s expression changed again, and terror gripped his heart.

’A Magic of such terrifying power should have an enormous cost. How can Li Chang’an cast it one after another?’

Before he could figure it out, the two successive Sword Arrays slammed into him.

BOOM!

The Fourth Saint Child and his throne of skulls couldn’t withstand the assault at all and were blown to pieces in mid-air.

However, he didn’t turn into a mist of blood. Instead, he became a tattered rag doll.

A Death Substitution Puppet!

Not far away, the Fourth Saint Child reappeared, his face pale.

“Li Fan!”

He roared, his voice hoarse, his heart filled with a mixture of hatred and fear.

In that instant, he had truly felt the approach of death.

Li Chang’an remained silent.

Sword Qi surged from his hands as another Sword Array materialized.

“Go!”

With an indifferent expression, Li Chang’an launched the Sword Array.

Unable to dodge in time, the Fourth Saint Child was blown to pieces again, turning into another tattered doll.

His body reappeared a short distance away.

“Li Fan, stop at once! If you keep pushing me, this battle will only end in mutual destruction!”

the Fourth Saint Child bellowed, the terror on his face deepening.

But Li Chang’an still said nothing as the Sword Array in his hands formed yet again.

Seeing this, a hint of madness flashed in the Fourth Saint Child’s eyes.

“Fine! Fine! Fine!”

“Li Fan, since you insist on forcing my hand, then let’s die together!”

A bloody light ignited around him, his blood-red hair whipping in the air as his aura surged violently. He was clearly burning his own lifespan.

From his Storage Pouch, over a thousand eerie lights shot out, transforming in mid-air into more than a thousand corpses with varying auras, including a number of Foundation Establishment Remains.

The Fourth Saint Child’s face twisted as he roared madly.

“Corpse Explosion Technique—detonate!”

The next instant, the thousand-plus corpses detonated in unison.

Heaven and earth trembled, a bloody Qi surged to the heavens, and world-ending power swept across the land.

The power of this attack was simply too terrifying. The caster, the Fourth Saint Child, bore the brunt of it and was instantly obliterated, unable to revive again as he turned into a shower of blood.

Li Chang’an was also caught in the blast. The Ancient Wood Divine Armor condensed around his body shattered in an instant.

“Cyan Wood Tribulation Transformation!”

His expression grave, he formed a hand seal, and a Cyan Wood mannequin appeared in front of him.

An instant later, with a BOOM, the mannequin suddenly exploded.

Li Chang’an’s expression flickered. His body trembled slightly and his aura weakened a little, but he was largely unharmed.

He once again cast the Substitute Death Technique, and a second Cyan Wood mannequin appeared before him.

A few moments later, this mannequin also shattered!

Li Chang’an’s face grew a shade paler.

Only then did the terrifying shockwave from the Corpse Explosion Technique finally subside.

“The Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect was truly impressive.”

Li Chang’an swallowed a few Elixir Pills to restore his Magical Power.

The battle had seemed easy, but in reality, it was fraught with peril.

If he hadn’t comprehended the Substitute Death Technique, he would have been gravely injured, even if he had managed to survive the Corpse Explosion Technique.

“Soul Comes!”

Li Chang’an beckoned with his hand.

The Fourth Saint Child’s Soul appeared at the spot where he had fallen.

His Soul trembled, his face a mask of disbelief.

“Li Fan, you’re not dead?”

Li Chang’an couldn’t be bothered to answer and threw him directly into the Venerable Soul Banner.

Not far away, the Tier Three Main Soul saw that the Fourth Saint Child had been defeated and immediately begged for mercy, no longer daring to resist.

What followed went quite smoothly. Li Chang’an absorbed all of the Souls from the Fourth Saint Child’s Venerable Soul Banner into his own.

At this point, the Venerable Soul Banner now contained a total of 450,000 Souls!

With a thought, Li Chang’an redirected the power of all the other Sub-Souls to fuel the Evil Soul.

The Evil Soul’s aura skyrocketed, instantly breaking through the threshold between the Fake Pill and True Pill realms. It was now powerful enough to rival a Cultivator at the Early Stage of True Core!

“Excellent. Now this is what I’d call a true Tier Three Main Soul!”

A satisfied expression appeared on Li Chang’an’s face.

The Evil Soul’s current strength was now quite formidable among those at the Early Stage of True Core.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would be enough to hold off Nie Wushuang’s grandfather, Nie Yu.

Besides the explosive increase in strength, the Evil Soul had also gained a rare ability—the Netherworld Evil Domain.

According to the Evil Soul, it was a Domain Spell that could trap enemies within it upon being cast.

“This ability came at the perfect time!”

With this Domain Spell, the Evil Soul’s chances of holding Nie Yu at bay had increased even further.

Next, Li Chang’an erased all traces of the battle and his own aura from the area before transforming into a streak of Spiritual Light and departing.

He entered the Blood Stone Secret Realm as usual and went to the edge of Soul-breaking Cliff to take stock of his spoils from the battle.

Before long, his eyes lit up as he took out a Jade Scroll.

“A Tier Three Middle Grade Talismanic Inheritance!”

The Divination had been correct; there really was a Talismanic Inheritance in the Fourth Saint Child’s Storage Pouch.
