Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 824 - 679: Cunning, Late Stage (2)

The power of the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform is much stronger!

True Mastery Daoist instantly used his strongest technique; the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform almost sealed the void where Lou Yi was, making escape a luxury.

Seeing this change, a tinge of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Golden Pig Demon.

’These humans are truly extremely cunning.

One moment they talk about persuading me to surrender, the next they are ready to strike, leaving no path to life.’

’If I survive this, I won’t believe a word they say again!’

At this time, at the outermost area of the underground space, Lin Xuan and Su Xinghe also arrived, sticking concealment charms on their bodies, waiting for a chance.

Seeing Lou Yi in danger, both were deeply anxious.

"How is it Fellow Daoist Liu? He’s in danger now!"

"I’ll rescue Liu Shu!"

Lin Xuan wanted to rush recklessly but was stopped by Su Xinghe.

He quickly and urgently explained the pros and cons: "The Spirit Platform Cultivation at the sixth level is astonishing; we’re absolutely no match, rushing in blindly is just suicide.

It’s better to stealthily approach, see if Fellow Daoist Liu can survive this strike, then think of a way to save him!"

Despite his words, Su Xinghe’s eyes showed a hint of unwillingness, knowing Lou Yi’s chances of survival were slim.

The Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform is far superior to the Fifth Layer, and Lou Yi seemed to be heavily injured...

’Boom!’

The Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform suddenly slammed into Lou Yi; despite his desperate resistance, he was crushed into a pile of flesh.

"No!" Lin Xuan screamed in grief and anger, luckily Su Xinghe had set up an array in advance to shield their sound, or they would have been exposed.

"It’s over, truly over this time." The Golden Pig Demon mourned in its heart.

"Ridiculous, overestimating oneself." True Mastery Daoist shook his head and sneered coldly.

At this moment.

"Body Transformation."

A dazzling red light appeared suddenly, like a meteor falling onto True Mastery Daoist.

"Ah!!!"

True Mastery Daoist wanted to dodge, but found the surrounding space pressing in all at once, making it difficult to move.

As a Daoist of the Spirit Treasure Sect, he had many cards up his sleeve, immediately calling forth his most powerful defensive Magical Artifact.

This was a slightly damaged ancient mirror, copper-colored and rusty, only palm-sized.

Placed around True Mastery Daoist front and back, it transformed into a phantom mountain.

From afar it appeared to be about a ten feet tall, seemingly real and unreal, seemingly illusory and solid.

Close contact reveals it is thousands of feet tall, covered with lush trees, jagged rocks, and flowing streams, just like reality.

’My defensive Treasure Artifact ’Mountain Mirror’, though damaged, cannot be broken by anyone below the Golden Core!’ True Mastery Daoist was startled but composed.

"To reach me, you’ll have to pierce through an entire mountain in one strike!

If it isn’t completely pierced, the Mountain Mirror will immediately repair itself, trapping you inside!"

The next moment.

’Boom!’

The red light directly penetrated the mountain phantom, reaching True Mastery Daoist, unstoppable.

True Mastery Daoist only managed to deploy another Top-Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact and Protective Spiritual Essence before being hit by the red light.

Then experienced a tremendous force encompassing him, his whole being directly exploded, most of his flesh vaporized, almost no bones left.

From arrogance to death, for True Mastery Daoist, it was just the span of a breath!

The red light revealed its form, showing an unassuming young man, standing in mid-air without the aid of any flying Magical Artifact.

"Red Hero, you’re not dead?" Zhao Wushuang exclaimed angrily, "Then who just died?"

"You guess." Lou Yi said expressionlessly.

The one who just died was his first split body used as bait.

Faced with three Daoist-level Sixth Layer Spirit Platforms cooperating, even though his cultivation greatly improved, he dared not be careless, naturally needing to weaken them.

Though his strength had greatly improved, he had only fought a half-disabled Sixth Bloodline Transformation demon before, never actually clashed head-on with top-tier powers.

And True Mastery Daoist attacked with full strength, determined to crush the first split.

Little did he know that the spirit of the Sixth Layer left the body, losing its greatest protective means, revealing a fatal flaw.

Therefore, Lou Yi chose to kill him first.

"Despicable Northern Domain native!"

"Hiding to launch sneak attacks, what kind of hero is that?"

Everyone on Zhao Wushuang’s side looked grim, cursing angrily.

’My goodness, humans are indeed too treacherous!’ The Golden Pig Demon was dumbfounded.

It had just been thinking Zhao Wushuang and others spoke one way and acted another, not understanding martial virtue, and now realized Lou Yi was also cunning, setting traps in advance.

"These humans are too dangerous, I want to go home!" The Golden Pig Demon said to the Thousand-legged Insect Demon.

The latter nodded silently, without saying a word.

At the scene, the struggle between Lou Yi and Zhao Wushuang’s group continued.

"Ambushing and sneaking are mere tricks." Ningshuang Daoist coldly said.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, figure graceful, skin like jade, possessing a cool and noble aura, but her gaze towards Lou Yi was full of killing intent.

"Go!"

She raised a white jade Spirit Platform above her head, from which three blurry shadows pulsed, flashing next to Lou Yi in an instant, each emanating an extremely sharp and terrifying aura, aiming to jointly kill Lou Yi.

’Sixth-Layer Spirit Platform Summoning Celestial Soldiers.’

These three blurry shadows were the Celestial Soldiers summoned by Ningshuang Daoist upon advancing to the Sixth Layer Spirit Platform.

The sword soldiers fear nothing, the Five Elements cannot harm, and they contain a faint trace of the Power of Laws, able to degrade anyone below the Fifth Layer Spirit Platform, making escape extremely difficult.

"Let’s see how you escape?" Ningshuang Daoist’s face was full of killing intent, then turned into confusion.

Because the expected fight did not happen, the shadows seemed to be moving in slow motion as if trapped in a mire.

’Bang!’

Lou Yi punched one shadow, shattering it, but it rapidly reformed, returning to normal.

"Fool, Celestial Soldiers can’t be killed." Ningshuang Daoist said coldly.

"Shaking Mountain."

"Armor-Piercing."

Lou Yi consecutively delivered hundreds of punches, causing the three shadows to repeatedly explode.

The penetration of Shaking Mountain, the damage of Armor-Piercing against Divine Soul-type illusions, ultimately turned the three Celestial Soldiers into a black mist, unable to reform.

Then, Lou Yi’s eyes shot out two silver lights, seemingly with a purifying effect, dispersing the black mist into the air.

"Pfft..."

Ningshuang Daoist vomited a mouthful of essence blood, her complexion instantly turned pale.

Connected to the Spirit Platform, Lou Yi’s dispersing of the Celestial Soldiers caused her immense harm.

"You said ambushing is trickery, so let me practice the righteous path."

Lou Yi took a step in the air, instantly crossing a hundred feet, closing in on Ningshuang Daoist.

"Ice River Covering the World!"

Ningshuang Daoist’s expression remained cold, blue light flickered all over her body like a celestial maiden descending, as she swiftly chanted a magic spell.

With a flick of her sleeve, a blue ice river appeared in the void above, where it passed everything froze, the temperature of the entire blessed land seemed to drop sharply.

For Lou Yi to reach her, he would need to cross this long ice river, likely frozen into shards before taking a few steps.

Meanwhile, a white jade Spirit Platform hovered above, shedding a robust magical curtain protecting her for extra security.

Ningshuang Daoist’s gaze was indifferent, hardly deeming the opponent worth a glance.

When she first entered the Spirit Platform Realm, she used this high-tier magic to leap three levels and kill enemies.

Not to mention her current cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform, likely able to battle against an ordinary sect’s Seventh Layer Spirit Platform.

"Just a minor path." Lou Yi laughed loudly, unwaveringly moving forward.

After consuming a large amount of Dark Treasure Lotus, his Qi-Blood surged significantly, even causing changes in the Martial Artist realm section of the Attribute Panel.

Mid-stage Martial Saint (251/600, Two Apertures (7/600))→Late-stage Martial Saint (312/600, Two Apertures (7/600))

With the breakthrough, his flesh was further strengthened, his body’s tenacity, agility, and strength all-round enhanced.

The total Gang Qi also ascended to an extremely terrifying degree.

If one compared the Gang Qi of the early-stage Martial Saint to a large lake, the mid-stage Martial Saint to a river.

Then the late-stage Martial Saint would be boundless, an endless ocean!

Even he did not know how strong he was now.
