Chapter 763 Auction Sequelae Erupts
The blood-red setting sun splattered across the sky like a pool of blood, tinting the entire wasteland an ominous dark crimson. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen had just narrowly escaped a black market auction, and the air was still thick with the stench of blood and the lingering smell of burnt magic. They hurried through the ruins, searching for a safe hiding place.
Yun Yao's brow furrowed, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead. The Heaven-Defying Fate Plate grew slightly hot in her arms, a warning of approaching danger. At the auction, in order to track down the Soul-Snatching Banner, she had been forced to use her Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Domain. While successfully marking the enemy's location, she also exposed her own whereabouts. She knew the Blood Demon Sect would never give up, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Be careful!" Chu Mochen suddenly pulled Yun Yao behind him, and a black magic arrow brushed past the tip of Yun Yao's hair and shot heavily into the rock next to it. A huge hole was instantly corroded in the rock.
Yun Yao looked up, her eyes alert. She saw dozens of dark shadows, like ghosts, closing in from all directions. These demonic cultivators held a sinister aura, their eyes gleaming with greed. The Heart-Erosion Curse tokens on their waists glowed eerily in the setting sun, as if silently foretelling Yun Yao's doom.
"Hand over the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, and I'll spare your lives!" The leading demon cultivator sneered, his voice filled with threats and provocation. He was tall and radiated a strong demonic aura, and the demonic blade in his hand shone an icy light in the sunlight.
Chu Mochen clenched his fists, the Candle Dragon bloodline coursing silently through his body. A flash of golden light flashed in his pupils, and dragon scales began to appear on his skin. Though he had only recently awakened and was still extremely weak, he was willing to risk everything to protect Yun Yao. "If you want to take the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk from us, you must get past me first!" His voice was deep and firm, filled with unquestionable momentum.
The demon cultivators exchanged glances, uttering a scornful laugh. They then unleashed their magical weapons and attacked the two. For a moment, demonic light flashed, spells roared, and the entire wasteland was plunged into chaos.
Yun Yao's eyes flashed, and the remaining medicinal power of the Resurrection Flower in her sleeves quickly circulated. She quickly formed seals with her hands, attempting to activate the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Domain once again. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, and a powerful backlash erupted from her meridians. It turned out that using the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Domain at the auction had already put a huge strain on her body, and forcing it now was even worse.
Chu Mochen sensed Yun Yao's strangeness and became extremely anxious. Disregarding his own safety, he forcibly activated the Candle Dragon Secret Technique. The dragon scales on his body shone brightly, and twelve pairs of wings blazing with wicked flames suddenly unfolded from his back. He waved his wings and let out a deafening dragon roar. The overwhelming force was like a hurricane, blowing away the surrounding demon cultivators.
"Yao'er, hold on!" Chu Mochen turned around and shouted to Yun Yao while struggling to resist the attacks of the demon cultivators. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained firm.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. She concentrated her mind and injected the full potency of the Resurrection Flower into the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. The Heaven-Defying Fate Disk suddenly glowed brightly, and a miniature Heavenly Dao domain slowly unfolded around the two of them. While not as powerful as a true Heavenly Dao domain, this domain was more than enough to withstand the attacks of the demonic cultivators.
The demon cultivators' attacks were repelled the moment they touched the Heavenly Dao Realm, causing them to scream in fear, some even injured by their own attacks. The leading demon cultivator saw this, a flash of shock and anger in his eyes. He roared, and the demonic energy in his demonic blade surged, slashing fiercely towards the Heavenly Dao Realm.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Heavenly Dao Realm shook violently. Yun Yao felt a mouthful of blood rushing up her throat, almost spitting it out. She knew that this miniature Heavenly Dao Realm would not last long, and she had to find a way to break through the siege.
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Yun Yao's mind. She recalled the fragments of the Hongmeng scroll she had obtained in the Netherworld. It seemed to contain a secret method that could confuse the enemy's perception. Without giving it time to dwell, she immediately focused her mind and channeled her spiritual energy according to the instructions in the fragments.
A miracle happened. As Yun Yao's spiritual power circulated, the figures of the two began to blur. The demon cultivators' attacks passed through them one after another, unable to truly touch them. "This... How is this possible!" The leading demon cultivator's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
However, the good times didn't last long. Yun Yao's body grew weaker due to excessive use of the secret technique, and the light of the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk began to gradually dim. The demon cultivators soon discovered that something was amiss and launched another, even more fierce attack.
"Looks like I have no choice but to give it a try!" Yun Yao secretly made up her mind. She took a deep breath and poured all her remaining spiritual power into the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. At the same time, Chu Mochen also transferred the remaining spiritual power of the Pure World Lotus to her.
As if sensing their resolve, the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk erupted with unprecedented force. A more stable miniature Heavenly Dao domain re-expanded around them, shimmering with golden causal lines, each imbued with immense power.
This time, Yun Yao was not only able to deflect the demon cultivators' attacks, but also utilize the power of cause and effect to transform their attacks into a force that would benefit her. Upon contacting the domain, the demon cultivators' attacks transformed into streams of spiritual energy, which were absorbed by the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk and used to strengthen the domain's defenses.
The leading demon cultivator, seeing the situation was dire, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pulled a black jade token from his bosom and muttered something. Strange runes suddenly appeared on the token. As the runes flickered, a powerful suction force emanated from the token, attempting to draw away Yun Yao's Heaven-Defying Fate Plate.
Yun Yao's face paled. She could feel the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate vibrating violently, as if trying to break free from her control. Chu Mochen, observing this, rushed forward without hesitation, blocking the jade plate's suction with his own body. Veins bulged under the suction, and blood continuously flowed from his seven orifices, but he remained fiercely guarding Yun Yao.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao cried out in heartache. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment. The light on the Destiny-Defying Plate surged again, and a powerful force of causality erupted from it. This force, like a surging tide, instantly dissipated the jade plate's suction and attacked the leading demon cultivator.
The leading demon cultivator's eyes widened in horror. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The force of karma struck him directly, and his body began to rapidly disintegrate, dissipating into a cloud of blood mist. The other demon cultivators, upon seeing this, were filled with fear. Their previous arrogance vanished, and they turned to flee.
Yun Yao wouldn't let them escape so easily. She manipulated the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, and the causal patterns within her domain transformed into golden chains that flew towards the fleeing demon cultivators. The chains accurately entangled the cultivators' bodies, pulling them back into her domain.
"Now, it's time to settle the accounts!" Yun Yao's eyes were icy, her voice filled with murderous intent. With a wave of her hands, the power within her domain began to surge wildly. Under the onslaught of this power, the demon cultivators screamed in agony and were reduced to ashes.
When the last demon cultivator disappeared, Yun Yao could no longer hold on and collapsed. Chu Mochen hurried forward and caught her steadily. He looked at the unconscious Yun Yao in his arms, his heart filled with heartache and guilt. "I'm sorry, Yao'er, I couldn't protect you," he said softly, tears glistening in his eyes.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Yun Yao's mind: "The host has mastered the 'initial application of the law of cause and effect', and the perfection of the Void Refining Realm is just around the corner." Hearing this prompt, Chu Mochen was delighted. He knew that Yun Yao's efforts were not in vain, and she was one step closer to her goal.
However, before Chu Mochen could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching. He raised his head warily, only to see a dark cloud rapidly gathering in the distant sky. Strange purple lightning flashed within the cloud, as if foreshadowing a greater crisis was about to arrive...
