Chapter 148: Time Stops
The copper mirror shone brightly, yet Ji Yang remained unable to move, his eyes darting around wildly.
The middle-aged shadow smiled casually and explained with great interest:
“Indeed, this is my primordial spirit body, so even if this immobilizing mirror locks down this place, I can still move freely!”
“Kid, I know your Nascent Soul can still act, but it doesn’t matter. Even if your talent surpasses others, your primordial spirit energy may still be somewhat powerful!”
“But I possess thousands of years of accumulation, along with countless opportunities. I focused on the path of the primordial spirit in my youth, which is why my strength is what it is today!”
After saying this, the middle-aged shadow displayed a proud expression.
Having survived for thousands of years, with such powerful primordial spirit energy, he felt confident that no one could surpass him.
It was precisely because of his strong primordial spirit energy that he could manipulate the energy of the earth demons, upgrading illusions to lure the disciples punished in the mine.
He had little interest in ordinary disciples with mediocre talent.
Even if he had escaped, he had no confidence in surpassing his former self, let alone reaching the level of a True Immortal!
It was better to remain here and wait for an opportunity; after so many years, he no longer cared about a few decades or centuries.
To his surprise, he had indeed waited for one!
He knew that luck would always favor those who were prepared!
Hearing these words, Ji Yang’s eyes gradually calmed.
The middle-aged shadow took Ji Yang’s stillness as acceptance and smiled as he nodded:
“Kid, come out. Let me see your primordial spirit energy, and it will spare you some suffering!”
The middle-aged shadow wore a confident and arrogant expression.
As Ji Yang’s body emitted fluctuations of primordial spirit energy, the middle-aged shadow’s grin widened.
Through Ji Yang’s body, he had already caught sight of Ji Yang’s Nascent Soul, which was only the size of a fist.
This made the middle-aged shadow shake his head slightly; what a pity. Though he was a genius, his foundation was somewhat lacking.
But it didn’t matter; this body was quite good, and his primordial spirit energy was strong enough. Once he fully fused with the body, he would have no weaknesses.
However, as the Nascent Soul left the body, the joy on the middle-aged shadow’s face diminished.
Why did he feel that the Nascent Soul was getting larger?
Was it his imagination?
No, it was indeed growing.
The middle-aged shadow focused his gaze and discerned the clues.
But then the middle-aged shadow smiled again, thinking, what of it if it gets bigger? Could it possibly compare to himself?
In his prime, he had relied on his primordial spirit energy to look down on others; among those of the same level, none could surpass him!
Yet, as Ji Yang’s Nascent Soul continued to grow, from the size of a fist to that of a basketball, the smile on the middle-aged shadow’s face faded significantly.
Still, he nodded slightly:
“Not bad. With this level, having such primordial spirit energy is already outstanding!”
The Nascent Soul, now the size of a basketball, continued to grow, quickly reaching a height of over half a person.
The middle-aged shadow’s smile remained, yet a hint of surprise lingered in his heart. Still, he confidently nodded and said,
“You’ve reached about half my strength; not bad.”
As the Nascent Soul drifted further away from the body, its size grew to match the middle-aged shadow’s height. The smile faded from the middle-aged shadow’s face.
However, thinking of his thousands of years of accumulation, the middle-aged shadow managed to force out a small smile:
“Do not think you can stand on equal footing with me just because you’re larger! Size alone is useless! Primordial spirit energy lies in its density!”
“My current level is all due to years of hard training and effort!”
The middle-aged shadow wanted to continue speaking, but at this moment, Ji Yang had completely detached from his physical body, his tall primordial spirit now standing in front of the middle-aged shadow!
Looking at the Nascent Soul that was a full two heads taller than him, the middle-aged shadow felt his throat tighten and couldn’t help but take a few steps back, finally lifting his gaze to stare up:
“Virtual is just virtual! It has only the appearance but cannot fool me!”
Having broken free from the constraints of his body, Ji Yang was no longer suppressed by the copper mirror and could now speak.
Ji Yang didn’t rush to attack; instead, he fixed his gaze on the glowing ancient copper mirror and lightly said,
“An immobilizing mirror, hmm? What a nice name; I quite like it!”
“Hmph, arrogant!”
The middle-aged shadow’s mood improved, banishing the fear he had just felt.
Though Ji Yang’s Nascent Soul was indeed intimidating, the middle-aged shadow realized he had trained for thousands of years. Despite a slight retreat in his primordial spirit energy, he was still definitely stronger than a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!
Perhaps the Ji Yang before him had merely practiced some special Techniques; he would understand everything once they fought!
At that moment, he would show this kid just how vast the difference in their primordial spirits was!
Now, the middle-aged shadow lost his previous leisure. A primordial spirit spear materialized in his hand, and he charged toward Ji Yang!
Seeing the middle-aged shadow launch an attack, Ji Yang also summoned a long sword in his hand!
Primordial spirits condensing weapons! This indicated that both of their primordial spirit energies were strong enough, far beyond that of normal Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
The middle-aged shadow’s expression turned serious, but he had no choice now!
Only by defeating Ji Yang could he live out his second life!
The spear and sword clashed, but they did not create the sparks of metal hitting metal, nor did it cause the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble; it was a collision of primordial spirit energies!
Simple and brutal!
As their attacks connected, the middle-aged shadow staggered back, feeling a tremor in his hand! Simultaneously, shock filled his eyes!
In comparison, Ji Yang stood firm like a mountain, unwavering, while also elegantly twirling his sword.
“How is this possible?”
“His thousands of years of accumulation cannot compare to this mere twenty-something Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?”
The middle-aged shadow felt his mind in chaos.
Ji Yang’s expression remained serene.
He knew that hard work pays off; after more than ten years of farming and years of mining, he had finally found satisfaction today!
“Impossible!”
“Come again!”
The middle-aged shadow gripped his spear tightly and charged at Ji Yang once more.
In this battle of primordial spirits, there were no flashy moves, only ordinary yet deadly attacks.
Whether it was the characteristics of their Techniques, spells, or divine powers, they were now rendered useless.
Only powerful primordial spirit cultivators could fight this way, for once their primordial spirits were injured, the consequences were far from ordinary wounds!
As the two clashed again, Ji Yang grew more familiar with the attacks of primordial spirit energy.
The middle-aged shadow retreated step by step! His hands felt numb, and the originally solid arms were gradually becoming illusory.
“Die!”
Ji Yang shouted explosively, transforming his long sword into a giant sword that matched his body size, and he swung it down fiercely at the middle-aged shadow below!
