Chapter 665 664: Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman

'Is that a Divine King? No, the aura is all wrong. Is he coming for me?'

Yue Lingxi's expression changed drastically.

But she quickly dismissed the idea as impossible.

She was wearing the Profound Light Flying Feather Robe, which perfectly concealed her aura. While it might not fool some Top-tier Divine Kings or even certain special Peak Divine Kings...

...the person before her was merely an ordinary Divine King, and his aura was chaotic.

He was like a monster cobbled together from disparate parts. It was impossible for him to discover her.

So, why was he here?

A trace of doubt appeared in Yue Lingxi's eyes.

But while she hesitated, the source of the aura had already descended.

He was a tall man.

He stood like an iron tower, his expression sinister, his entire body radiating boundless Evil Qi.

Yue Lingxi could tell she had never seen this person before.

Yet for some reason, she had a feeling.

A feeling of familiarity.

It was as if she had met him before.

'Could it be? Another person I've forgotten, just like Yang Xiao?'

As the thought arose, Yue Lingxi shook her head.

She didn't think so.

This feeling of familiarity seemed to stem from a more recent encounter.

'Who could it be?'

Yue Lingxi wondered.

The newcomer, however, had already made his move.

With a casual grab, he shattered the Forbidden Array Formation of Star God Academy. Then, a great hand formed of Divine Power ripped Nangong Tianling's small courtyard right out of the ground.

In one motion, it seized the only person inside.

Nangong Tianling.

In that instant, the entire Star God Academy was thrown into an uproar.

The Tutors at the Demigod level and above, along with the True God Level Elders, were especially alarmed.

They all sent out their Divine Senses to investigate.

But the moment they got a clear look at the situation outside, they were all scared silent, not daring to make another sound.

As for Nangong Tianling, she was held fast in his grip.

Her face was filled with shock; she had no idea who her attacker was.

She tried to struggle, but she found that...

...under the suppression of this person's aura, she couldn't even speak, let alone struggle to escape.

This man was simply too powerful.

For a moment, Nangong Tianling's heart sank.

Upon seeing the creature he had caught, the iron-tower-like man's expression also changed.

'Hm? Just this woman? Where's that brat Yang Xiao?'

With a thought, his gaze swept across the area.

The terrified higher-ups of Star God Academy, already scared silent, trembled in fear.

This person was none other than the new lifeform born from the Seven Evils Fusion, a being who possessed the power of a Divine King for three days.

He had originally thought he could kill Yang Xiao in a single strike. Afterward, he would confront the Great Emperor's will, and his mission would be complete.

Then he could die.

Therefore, he had held nothing back in that grab.

But now, he had only managed to catch a mere True God, and a member of the Nangong Family at that.

The face of the new lifeform, "Seven Evils," changed.

His still-lucid consciousness stirred, and he sensed a subtle fluctuation in the void. His expression shifted, and he raised his hand to snatch at the empty space.

'That's right, the brat must be hiding! I definitely sensed a fluctuation in the void just now.'

With this thought, Seven Evils struck even more ruthlessly.

What he didn't know, however, was that this grab made Yue Lingxi, clad in her Profound Light Flying Feather Robe, turn pale.

The fluctuation he had sensed, the person he was grabbing for, was none other than Yue Lingxi herself.

She had been in Nangong Tianling's courtyard a moment ago. When he had grabbed for it, Yue Lingxi naturally had to dodge.

Her dodge had been a bit hasty, inevitably creating an opening and revealing a slight fluctuation.

If Seven Evils had caught his intended target, it wouldn't have mattered.

He would never have noticed such a tiny ripple in the void.

But as it happened, he hadn't found Yang Xiao.

And now, he was exceptionally clear-headed.

As his Heart Spirit swept the area, he immediately discovered this faint fluctuation.

He raised his hand and grabbed for her.

Yue Lingxi could neither dodge nor reveal herself to explain.

Of course, she had no intention of explaining anyway.

Who knew who this guy was after?

For all she knew, he really was here for her.

With that in mind, Yue Lingxi certainly wasn't going to show any weakness.

Her eyes turned cold. A pitch-black Jade Talisman appeared in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she sent it flying.

'How dare you attack me! Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman, seal him!'

As the thought crossed her mind, a smug look appeared on Yue Lingxi's face.

Immediately after, the pitch-black Jade Talisman transformed into terrifying streams of the Power of Taiyin, forming a net that bound the iron-tower-like man, Seven Evils.

Even with the Power of a Divine King, he could not struggle free.

This caused the man that was Seven Evils to pale once more.

'Damn it! He actually has a sealing-type Divine Talisman, and a top-grade King Talisman at that! What is this brat's background?'

Seven Evils struggled desperately.

But he had no idea that the one who had attacked him wasn't Yang Xiao at all, but Yue Lingxi.

As the Saintess of the Taiyin Holy Palace, she was no longer the person she was before, with her cultivation sealed to undergo some trial.

The current Yue Lingxi possessed her full strength, along with the resources befitting a Saintess.

She was well-equipped with many treasures capable of dealing with Divine King Level beings.

If the situation hadn't been so unclear, and if treasures that could kill Divine King Level beings weren't so precious, what Yue Lingxi had just thrown out wouldn't have been the Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman. It would have been the ultimate Taiyin Godslaying Talisman, or even the Taiyin Saintess Order, which contained a terrifying Power of Will capable of killing a Top-tier Divine King.

This was the depth of a Holy Palace Saintess's resources.

It was also the source of Yue Lingxi's confidence to travel alone.

Of course, she didn't have many such items on her.

Even the Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman she had just used—something she didn't consider particularly precious—was a finite resource; for every one used, she had one less.

She would never have used it unless it was a critical moment.

Using it now pained her a little, but she still had no intention of revealing herself.

She remained hidden.

She wanted to see what other tricks this guy had up his sleeve.

'What a cunning brat. He's already sealed me, yet he still won't show himself? Could it be that he's already seen through my power and knows it only lasts for three days?'

Seven Evils's mood was grim.

He struggled against his bonds while his eyes scanned the surroundings.

Finally, his gaze fell upon his own hand.

There, Nangong Tianling was still clutched in his grasp.

'This girl may be from the Nangong Family, but she's extremely close to that brat. Besides, my time is running out. To force him out, I must resort to extreme measures.'

With a thought, the hand gripping Nangong Tianling tightened slightly.

Although he was sealed and couldn't break free...

...an action as simple as tightening his fist was effortless.

As his fist clenched, Nangong Tianling's body felt as if it were being crushed by a mountain.

A series of CRACKING sounds echoed from all over her body.

It seemed she would be crushed to death in the next moment.

At that moment, Seven Evils spoke in a furious voice.

"Yang Xiao, you whelp, come out! If you don't show yourself, I'll crush this little wench to death!"

As his voice fell, killing intent and Evil Qi converged.

Even though the Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman sealed his power, it couldn't block his murderous heart and intent.

Seeing this, Yue Lingxi, hidden in the void, couldn't help but turn slightly pale.
