Chapter 158: The Might of the Moon Ring
Chao Zizhong’s pupils shrank to the limit, fear exploding within him, as countless images and thoughts flashed before his eyes. He entered a frantic state, or perhaps… beneath the threat of life and death, his thoughts raced at breakneck speed!
"I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die! Danger comes from outside the Revealing True Reverse, and I have weakened the alert of my Spirit Sense myself!"
"This attack… I’m going to die!"
Chao Zizhong’s thoughts raced infinitely. In this moment, he could not care about his foundation or lifespan.
Fight for his life!
Only by fighting desperately did he have a glimmer of hope!
In an instant, he recalled all the power he could use!
Law realm Talismans?
Creating talismans at the level of the spiritual realm is incredibly difficult, let alone law realm talismans; he had only one!
But the crucial thing is that the talisman needs time to activate, and there is simply not enough time!
The speed of the radiant attack is terrifying; by the time he takes out the talisman and activates it, he would have died a hundred times over!
He can’t use the talismans!
Major Spiritual Law?
It needs time to absorb spirit energy!
Destruction release beyond the second release?
Not enough!
The further advanced form of Spiritual Roots, the Secret techniques for burning Spiritual Roots?
Not enough! Not enough!
Far from enough!
Inferior Essence?
Without mastery of the Essence, one cannot unify mind and spirit; even sacrificing lifespan can only enhance power through the Essence mode, unable to unleash the true extreme of the Essence.
This is the inferior Essence.
Li Fahxing had once used this inferior Essence!
How much would it consume?
Ten years?
Twenty years?
No, far from enough—one hundred years!
“Ahhhhh!”
Chao Zizhong unleashed his Spirit Sense.
The Revealing True Dragon erupted in light, and the dragon-shaped jade directly cracked, releasing all its residual brilliance.
Boom!
Like fireworks, the Earth Element Revealing True Dragon briefly fought back before turning to dust.
The beam of light that covered everything before him pushed forward, unstoppable!
"Destruction Release!"
The Thick Earth Walking Law extracted the strength of the entire land, causing cracks to appear everywhere. From these fissures, brilliant spirit light burst forth, forming a heavenly wall to block this judgmental light.
"——"
But it was still meaningless; the air and barriers were destroyed together, unable to even keep up with the sound.
In the silence, the light continued to approach Chao Zizhong.
Yet Chao Zizhong was also retreating. Although the destructive heavenly light had destroyed his defenses, the incredible shockwave pushed him backward. This could not help him escape but could buy him a moment.
During this moment, Chao Zizhong let out a furious roar. The patterns of his Spiritual Roots, which spread to his neck, seemed to ignite, densely packed roots appeared all over his body—these were the Spiritual Roots he had seized!
Although the Secret techniques for burning Spiritual Roots burned uncontrollably, including his own roots, if he sealed a large number of roots throughout his body, the consumption of his own roots would drastically decrease.
This secret technique was self-harming, but it was far better than using his roots as fuel directly. Chao Zizhong wanted to seize a chance for survival, willing to pay any price!
Thus…
Power erupted from within him.
Without needing to draw spirit energy from the outside, he unleashed a force several times greater than usual!
The Spiritual Roots, as a collective of spirit, burned, providing strength far beyond what spirit energy could compare to.
Even at the level of the spiritual realm, it could double his strength.
The doubling of strength in the spiritual realm was entirely incomparable to the Mortal Realm.
The difficulty was much greater…
"Thick Earth Revealing True Walking Law—Essence Amplification!"
In the end, Chao Zizhong spat blood, pouring all his power into one arm, which transformed into a massive Earth Dragon biting toward the light.
In the next moment, the light completely engulfed him.
"——"
In just an instant, a thousand meters ahead of Yun Ye was pierced through, turning into complete ash and lava.
The explosion soared into the sky, rampaging across the entire area.
Yun Ye stood still, astonished at the current power of the Moon Ring. It had pierced through several mountains without even compressing, showing such power. With the progress of the refinement improved, the might truly showed immediate results!
Looking back at the fearsome Revealing True Reverse formation, did it still exist at all?
"Is he dead?"
Yun Ye gazed at the calamity energy chains coiled around the artifact in his hand, showing no signs of change. "It seems he is not dead; that’s good. The Spiritual Realm of the Seven Great Families should know countless secrets."
He spread out his Spirit Sense.
Searching for Chao Zizhong’s traces.
Soon, Yun Ye found Chao Zizhong in a pit a hundred meters away. Half of his body had evaporated, leaving him in a state of unconsciousness, but without a doubt, he had managed to deflect himself out of the area of effect of the Moon Ring’s attack with the power of his last strike, barely saving his life.
Before losing consciousness, he had even used several talismans in succession to heal his wounds and conceal his presence, creating the illusion of his death.
Unfortunately, Yun Ye, burdened with calamity energy, instantly saw the issue…
"Cough, cough!"
Within seconds of finding Chao Zizhong, he opened his eyes and regained consciousness. Yun Ye was startled and quickly ignited a pale blue flame, directly covering Chao Zizhong’s entire body.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The newly awakened Chao Zizhong immediately let out a heartbreaking scream as his breath faded rapidly. Soon, he lost even the strength to cry out, his pupils dilated, resembling a dead person.
Then, Yun Ye activated Spirit Law to gain control.
(Speak!)
Chao Zizhong remained motionless.
He neither screamed nor transformed into Spirit Law chains.
Yun Ye observed, realizing it seemed he was unaffected; perhaps there was some protective force?
He dug deeper with his Spirit Sense.
Soon, he discovered a cluster of light around Chao Zizhong’s head, shielding him from the invasion of Spirit Law.
Yun Ye transformed his unique Nether Fire, letting it take the form of a fiery hand that probed into Chao Zizhong’s mind.
Inside the head was a "Spirit Sea," where the Yin-type spirit energy was stored, which referred to Spirit Sense.
Normally, to invade the Spirit Sea, one would use Spirit Sense, but Yun Ye’s Spirit Sense was too weak, far inferior to Chao Zizhong’s. Moreover, he had treasures for protection. If Yun Ye were not foolish, he would not choose to self-sabotage.
So, he called upon Nether Fire again. During his escape, he had consumed many Spiritual Herbs and used the Fire Transformation Secret Technique to turn Nether Fire into his innate spirit fire.
Transforming into innate spirit fire meant the Nether Fire could adjust its spiritual weight at will.
For instance, the unique Nether Fire could harm Chao Zizhong’s Spirit Sense and treasures without damaging his body!
However, even the unique Nether Fire did not take effect immediately.
Yun Ye spent a full ten minutes exhausting the treasure’s power before forcibly retrieving it.
The treasure was a clawing beast statue, about the size of a thumb, looking quite ordinary.
Yun Ye had no idea what it was and dared not use it lightly, so he first applied a sealing talisman before tossing it into the Secret Realm.
Then he turned his attention back to Chao Zizhong.
Without the protection of the treasure, it was his turn to act!
"Tell me the essentials of your Walking Law!"
Yun Ye began to interrogate.
To kill someone in the law realms, he needed to weaken their Walking Law power.
The Earth Element Spiritual Law was practiced by the head of the Chao family, which reached a high level of power with the enhancement of the Heavenly Path. As long as it was disseminated, its effectiveness would immediately drop by more than half.
This was the best way to break through the barriers of the noble families’ monopoly.
