Chapter 694 Battle! Black Soul Staff!
Five black rays, all containing extremely powerful energy!
Method Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right palm, and condensed a ball of true qi to form a barrier!
“Boom…”
The black rays struck the barrier, and the explosive power made the entire secret chamber shake!
“The power of annihilation.” Method Yu lowered his right palm and looked at Immortal Flower Butterfly before him with a solemn gaze.
A mere consciousness could still use the power of annihilation?
This was something he hadn’t anticipated.
The power of annihilation, as one of the strongest energies, was practiced by very few. Precisely because the power of annihilation had properties that countered life, the cultivation process was extremely difficult, and required killing numerous living beings to achieve even minor success…
In the cultivation world of the past, only a few demonic cultivators mastered the power of annihilation.
But now, the Immortal Flower Butterfly before him could summon the power of annihilation with just a wave of her hand!
This indicated that… she was most likely a demonic cultivator back then!
“There’s no need to be so agitated. You kidnapped my friend, and I haven’t even lost my temper yet, but you’re already angry?” Method Yu looked at Immortal Flower Butterfly with a smile.
At this moment, surprise flashed in Immortal Flower Butterfly’s eyes.
She had thought that her previous attack would be enough to kill both Method Yu and Bai Ran behind him.
But unexpectedly, Method Yu had effortlessly blocked it.
This young man… was stronger than she had anticipated.
“I’ve already said, I chose her as my successor, which is a blessing from her previous lives, an extraordinary opportunity,” Immortal Flower Butterfly said slowly. “Since you know my identity, you should be happy for her, not come here to destroy the opportunity that belongs to her.”
“Opportunity?” Method Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ling’er standing in the corner of the wall, and his tone turned cold. “Although I’ve never received any so-called inheritance, I know quite a bit about the methods of inheritance among cultivators. Even if you wanted to transfer all your cultivation to her, you wouldn’t need to arrange such a complex formation under her feet.”
“The function of this formation… isn’t to pass something on to her, but to extract something from her body, right?”
Hearing Method Yu’s words, Immortal Flower Butterfly’s wrinkled face twitched slightly.
“Nonsense!” Immortal Flower Butterfly’s eyes flashed with ferocity. Her left hand gripped, black light condensed, and a half-meter-long black rod appeared in her hand.
Seeing this black rod, Method Yu frowned slightly. He felt he had heard about the design of this rod somewhere before.
“Let me tell you, you don’t know its value,” Immortal Flower Butterfly revealed a cold smile on her face. “This is the Black Soul Rod, an exceptional magical weapon that attracted countless cultivators to fight for it back then.”
Black Soul Rod.
Hearing this name, Method Yu immediately remembered.
Just as Immortal Flower Butterfly said, this was a top-tier magical weapon that once caused a sensation in the cultivation world.
However, because the Black Soul Rod had evil properties, it was quickly confiscated by the Righteous Alliance and listed as a prohibited item.
But if that was all, the Black Soul Rod wouldn’t have become famous enough to shock the entire cultivation world.
The real reason the Black Soul Rod became so notorious was that after being confiscated by the Righteous Alliance, it was actually stolen!
The Black Soul Rod had been locked in the Righteous Alliance’s prohibited items vault, theoretically the safest place in the entire cultivation world.
Yet somehow, the Black Soul Rod went missing!
When news of the theft spread, the entire cultivation world was in an uproar.
At that time, many people were already dissatisfied with the Righteous Alliance and used this incident to accuse them of stealing from their own vault, which triggered the anti-Righteous Alliance movement that caused a sensation at the time.
Of course, that turmoil was quelled in less than half a month.
But the reputation of the Black Soul Rod as a magical weapon became renowned because of this.
Cultivators who lived through that period all knew about the existence of the Black Soul Rod.
However, during that series of events, almost everyone’s attention was focused on the conflict between the Righteous Alliance and the anti-Righteous Alliance faction.
The whereabouts of the Black Soul Rod, which had been the initial spark, was forgotten.
Method Yu never expected that after so many years, he would see the once-famous Black Soul Rod in the hands of a consciousness!
“Where did you get it from?” Method Yu asked.
“You don’t need to know that,” Immortal Flower Butterfly said coldly, suddenly gripping the Black Soul Rod tightly in her left hand!
“Hum…”
The sound of a weapon resonating filled the secret chamber!
Bai Ran, whose head was already in pain from the previous shadow, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground after hearing this soul-piercing resonance.
Method Yu frowned, turned around, grabbed Bai Ran and Qin Yao from the ground with his true qi, and pushed them dozens of meters outside the secret chamber.
“Facing death and still distracted by saving others?”
Immortal Flower Butterfly’s cold voice appeared in Method Yu’s ears!
At this moment, she gripped the Black Soul Rod and smashed it down toward Method Yu’s head!
The Black Soul Rod emitted a black light, releasing soul power within!
It was said that the Black Soul Rod was powerful because of its special material and the powerful soul force embedded within it.
Being hit by it would not injure the physical body, but the soul within!
Physical injuries could be healed, but soul damage was extremely difficult to repair!
And Immortal Flower Butterfly’s strike was aimed directly at Method Yu’s head!
She wanted to shatter Method Yu’s soul with one hit!
“Clang!”
Just as the Black Soul Rod was about to hit Method Yu’s head, he suddenly turned around, raised his left hand, and blocked the strike with his arm!
Method Yu didn’t feel pain in his arm, but the soul beneath his arm trembled slightly.
“It seems the rumors are true, the Black Soul Rod’s attack only targets the soul,” Method Yu thought. “In that case, I just need to avoid being touched by the Black Soul Rod.”
“Go to hell!” Immortal Flower Butterfly shouted, gripping the Black Soul Rod tightly again and smashing it toward Method Yu’s face.
Method Yu retreated, easily avoiding this strike.
“Divine Movement Without Shadow.”
In the next second, Method Yu appeared behind Immortal Flower Butterfly and kicked at her head.
This series of movements was too swift. Immortal Flower Butterfly couldn’t react at all!
“Bang!”
Immortal Flower Butterfly’s head made a muffled sound, and her entire body flew through the air, crashing into the wall ahead, sending stone fragments flying.
“The power of the Black Soul Rod is indeed strong, but unfortunately in your hands, it’s no different from a piece of junk,” Method Yu said calmly.
The Black Soul Rod was called a magical weapon, but it should actually be classified as a combat weapon.
The difference between magical weapons and combat weapons lies in the physical skill requirements for the user.
Any cultivator could easily use a magical weapon. But combat weapons required the user to possess strength, speed, and combat techniques.
And from the previous exchange, it was clear that Immortal Flower Butterfly did not possess strong enough physical skills.
“Crack crack crack…”
From the depression in the wall ahead came a series of sounds.
Immortal Flower Butterfly’s figure struggled out from inside.
At this moment, her entire head was deformed.
She was breathing heavily, her left hand still gripping the Black Soul Rod, but her right hand was raised and placed in front of her face.
A light flashed, and Immortal Flower Butterfly’s head returned to its original shape.
Looking at Method Yu again, Immortal Flower Butterfly’s eyes were filled only with terror and hatred!
In her day, she had been a peak Tribulation Realm powerhouse.
Therefore, she had a clear understanding of the situation.
Although they had only exchanged a single blow, she knew that no matter how powerful the Black Soul Rod was, she couldn’t use it to kill Method Yu!
Because the Method Yu before her was far superior in physical combat!
On the other hand, she was currently just a consciousness, maintaining her existence with the willpower she had left behind years ago.
Now injured, she had consumed a significant amount of her willpower!
If she were injured by Method Yu a few more times, her willpower would be completely exhausted, and she would permanently disappear from this world!
This was an outcome she could not accept!
She had to think of something! She must find a way to deal with Method Yu!
At this moment, Immortal Flower Butterfly thought of Ling’er in the secret chamber!
She had spent a large amount of willpower using the blood soul search technique to locate Ling’er, and then spent a fortune hiring people to bring her back here.
Just an hour ago, she had completed the arrangement of the formation!
If Method Yu hadn’t arrived, she would have already begun the soul reconstruction!
“Now, I can only secretly activate the formation when he’s not paying attention… then stall for time, and at the moment the girl’s soul is melted, I’ll immediately enter that soul… then I can complete the soul reconstruction and enter the girl’s body… achieving true rebirth!”
Immortal Flower Butterfly stared at Method Yu, her mind racing.
