Chapter 1532: Immortal Binding Rope

Chapter 1532: Chapter 1532: Immortal Binding Rope

Wind magic is quite common among mages, but forbidden spells, especially single-target forbidden spells, are extremely rare. The primary reason is the lack of damage; given the same casting difficulty and consumption of wind-based forbidden spells, mages prefer fire, lightning, or even ice-based spells. Yet, the attack enveloped in light attribute Source Qi before him was precisely a wind-based forbidden spell.

As the saying goes, every disadvantage has an advantage. The weakness of wind-based forbidden spells in terms of damage is counterbalanced by some strengths. Firstly, their concealment as part of wind magic with an air attribute is often used as auxiliary magic in hybrid spells to boost the power of other spells. It was able to hide within the Light Source Qi and deceive Pei Yan’s probing. Another advantage is its quick cast and high hit rate, surpassed only by the high-damage, powerful lightning magic. Other types of magic have the drawbacks of slow movement and easy dodging.

Meilin had precisely calculated that Pei Yan would underestimate a light-based forbidden spell, and after warding it off, caught him off guard! The distance was too close, and Pei Yan had no chance to evade. He could only use space tearing to reduce part of the spell’s power, but the majority of the forbidden spell still struck him solidly.

"Wind-based forbidden spell: Wind Cage Bone Shattering Technique!"

Wind Prison Technique is a high-level mage spell that traps a person in a high-speed rotating wind array. It uses the like-real hurricane walls to suffocate the enemy to death. The Wind Cage Bone Shattering Technique is the advanced version of the Wind Prison Technique. It not only prevents escape or breathing but also contains numerous Wind Blade Techniques of intermediate spell level within the hurricane. These wind blades cut across the body like razors. Once they leave a wound, the other wind blades swarm like sharks smelling blood, relentlessly attacking it until the body is covered in wounds and completely shattered.

Pei Yan was not afraid of suffocation; he had a face shield for protection and an internal oxygen system supplying the necessary breaths. The wind magic’s low damage was evident at this moment. Although it could quickly capture the swiftly moving Pei Yan, compared to the hybrid forbidden spell Blaze Corrosion by Hecate, the wind blades brushing against Pei Yan’s battle-hardened body were like tickles.

The forbidden spell only inconvenienced Pei Yan by briefly restricting his movement. Pei Yan knew he couldn’t linger, for the dark forbidden spell would arrive in no time. This is a chain attack strategy; if he fails to break free, he would be caught in the crossfire of wind and dark forbidden spells. Meilin wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity, leading to a barrage of spells.

Thinking this could trap Pei Yan was a serious underestimation! Pei Yan snorted coldly, raised his hand, and pressed it against the wind wall formed by the Wind Prison Technique. Ignoring the clanging wind blades on his body, he concentrated Source Qi in his palm to discharge a Source Energy Cannon.

Using only Source Qi without any additional attack methods, relying on the sheer compression and coalescence of a Source Qi Bomb to blast open the wind wall’s Source Qi formation, Pei Yan used the opportunity to escape. As soon as he slipped out of the wind wall, the pursuing black mist and lava lunged from both sides. The black mist was very close, but no matter, he could dodge it!

However, the next scene shattered Pei Yan’s confidence. Just as he was about to use his abilities to swap positions with his distant mechanical clone to avoid the pincer attack, a strange vine rope suddenly shot out from the black mist, instantly entangling Pei Yan. As the rope made contact with Pei Yan’s body, he felt his abilities and soul were confined within his body, unable to move or swap places!

The next second, the corrosive lava and the Eternal Night Seal forbidden spell struck Pei Yan, who was frozen in astonishment!

"Immortal Binding Rope!" The Daoist Plane envoys on the scene, along with all the Daoist Realm cultivators watching from the light screens, almost simultaneously shouted the name as the rope entwined Pei Yan.

"Elder Liu! Elder Feng! Do you think that’s the real Immortal Binding Rope?" Lin Daozi, wide-eyed, grabbed Feng Tianhe’s wrist, pointing at Pei Yan in the arena and questioned.

"It is! It really is! It’s the only thing that can trap Pei Yan right now!" Feng Tianhe made the judgment after a brief observation, lamenting with regret, "But this is not the original, just like those rings. It’s an Immortal Binding Rope summoned by Meilin from the river of time, disappearing into the flow once its duration ends."

The Immortal Binding Rope! A famed Divine Artifact across the four planes, ranking among the top of the Divine Artifact list alongside the Mountain and River State Diagram, and the Demon Race’s Prison Breaker. It’s the second on the binding-type Divine Artifact list! The Heaven and Earth Creation Furnace, once ranked first, was damaged in a great battle. Whether it has been restored is unknown, so it’s fair to say the Immortal Binding Rope could be considered first. Its renown is such that all Immortal Binding Ropes used by Daoist Plane for capturing cultivators are modeled after it.

The Immortal Binding Rope, as its name suggests, can bind even Immortals. In Daoist Plane, Immortals refer to Spirit Immortals like the Master of Origin, beings born with self-awareness from the Power of Origin. When Lin Ruxue ordered its forging, it was meant to restrain overly arrogant Spirit Immortals, subjecting them to punishment until they realized their errors.

This Divine Artifact’s prestige is immense. Many experts have suffered before it. Once bound, escape is difficult even with extraordinary powers. During the Daoist and Magic Realm conflict over control of the foundational plane, it displayed tremendous prowess and then mysteriously disappeared. The Immortal Palace in Daoist Plane suspected it fell into the Magic Realm’s hands. As relations eased, the Immortal Palace repeatedly demanded it from Council City, only to be rebuffed with claims that it was not in their possession.

Later, during the Sword Discussion Conference, Flamel used a mimic version, stirring rumors again that the Immortal Binding Rope was indeed in Council City’s possession. This time, Meilin using it further confirmed that belief.

"It’s useless! Summoned from the river of time, after the spell’s effect, Meilin will vanish. The three major councils won’t admit to having this artifact," Liu Xuanji insightfully remarked, understanding Lin Daozi’s thoughts and reminding him with a bitter smile.

"At least it proves they once had it!" Lin Daozi replied vehemently, staring at the Immortal Binding Rope.
