Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Brutality "It’s a spiritual artifact!" someone exclaimed. It’s not surprising for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to possess a spiritual artifact. And the power of the spiritual artifact in their hands was incomparably stronger than in Bi Yaoyao’s hands! "This spiritual ruler of mine is called the Spirit River Ruler, and it is modeled after the Celestial River Ruler. Legend has it that the Celestial River Ruler is made from thousands of river sands taken from the celestial river above, each grain weighing thousands of pounds. With countless river sands falling, even mountains will instantly turn to crumbling dust. Though my Spirit River Ruler doesn’t match a tenth of the Celestial River Ruler’s power, making it difficult to kill you in one blow. However, I’ve infused it with the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Ghost Demon..." As soon as the silver-haired youth finished speaking, countless red eyes appeared densely on the black spiritual ruler, oozing nauseating mucus. Strangely, each eye seemed capable of speech. As the eyelids opened and closed, all kinds of roars, curses, and screams kept emanating. "Hehehe... hehehe..." "Die... die for me, all of you, die!" "Ah!! Ah!!!" Most of the cultivators present, upon just a glance at this ruler, felt their chests tighten and their heads spin. And hearing these eerie sounds, a few couldn’t help but bend over and retch violently. Being stared at by so many bizarre eyes, Lou Yi felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to move his body. But the eerie light exuding from the opponent’s spiritual ruler was so heavy, making his movements incredibly slow, almost as if he were reduced to a common mortal. Next, these blood-colored eyes emitted sinister red lines, which flowed along the eerie light into Lou Yi’s body, vanishing without a trace. ’Buzz!’ Lou Yi felt his brain hit by a heavy blow, his body stiffened, and his eyes became vacant. "Not good, it’s attacking Junior Brother Lou’s divine soul!" Xie Zhiyu exclaimed in horror. Magic treasures that attack the divine soul are incredibly rare in the cultivation realm, often beyond the grasp of those at the Qi Cultivation level. Although Lou Yi’s physical body is strong, his divine soul cultivation is merely at the Qi Cultivation Third Level, lacking spiritual sense, his greatest weakness. "Quickly, help Junior Brother Lou!" The Corpse-Driving Sect disciples couldn’t stand it anymore, charging towards the silver-haired youth. Some shot Yin Qi Arrows, others commanded flying swords, some tossed a pile of talismans, trying their utmost to harass the opponent. "A gnat’s futile resistance," the silver-haired youth said disdainfully. As the spiritual power surged around him, spells instantly formed in front of him, precisely blocking every attack, leaving him unharmed. The Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator had mastered spell control to perfection. Every casting was like a work of art, with not a shred of mana wasted, fully controlling the situation. ’Buzz!’ The spiritual ruler under his command slightly released pressure on the pesky ’mosquitoes’ alongside him. Each charging disciple was precisely targeted by a red line. Almost everyone fell to the ground, eyes vacant, unconscious. And in the center of the spiritual ruler’s attack, Lou Yi was enduring unimaginable pressure! He was simultaneously enduring the continued impact of dozens to hundreds of red lines, his body trembling continuously, with blood gradually flowing from his seven apertures. Finally, Lou Yi remained motionless, his vitality rapidly fading, almost disappearing from the human realm. "Good, such a strong physical body should be mine," the silver-haired youth smiled, walking leisurely within several meters of Lou Yi. Then a green humanoid light mass jumped out and ’whisked’ into Lou Yi’s mind. The humanoid light mass quickly arrived at an area as dark as the depths of space, silent, cold, and vast. And in the center of this area, there’s a dim green light, which, upon seeing it, flew swiftly towards it! Upon reaching the green light, the humanoid light mass discovered that these green lights were scattered, roaming in the air, not formed, different from its expectations. ’Could it be that his divine soul just completely disintegrated?’ the humanoid light mass thought, "After all, only at Qi Cultivation Third Level, the divine soul isn’t much stronger than a common mortal." ’Cry!’ A shriek interrupted its thoughts. A two-zhang-two-chi tall eagle, unexpectedly appeared around it. Its feathers were deep brown and shiny, its eyes golden yellow, circling in the sky, gazing coldly at it, revealing undisguised killing intent. Next to the eagle was a six-to-seven-chi long black snake, in the same camp, ready to join forces to resist this uninvited guest. "Interesting, just at Qi Cultivation Third Level, you’ve developed spiritual sense, even stronger than Peak of Qi Cultivation, I’m growing more interested in you." The green humanoid light mass said in a low, deep voice. Its body size now was more than three times the eagle’s. The contrast between the two was stark, akin to an adult and a child. The humanoid light mass whistled towards the eagle and the black snake. One clenched fist struck, feathers fell ’swishing’ from the eagle, while the black snake was slapped flying out of sight. On the second attack, one of the eagle’s wings was even forcibly broken by it, emitting a mournful scream! "Calmly relinquish your mind, let me merge..." About to achieve victory and gain an unprecedentedly strong physical body. Moreover, Lou Yi’s spirit root was better than expected, reaching Middle Grade. Even with the silver-haired youth’s centuries-old temperament, he felt slightly excited. But the silver-haired youth forgot this was Lou Yi’s domain! Despite having stood still initially, Lou Yi’s right fist suddenly clenched. He swung it fiercely towards his own head, stopping just before hitting the skin. ’Armor-Piercing!’ A low murmur sounded. A formless sharp energy entered Lou Yi’s mind. "Ah... what is this thing!" The humanoid light mass seemed like it suffered a blow, oscillating violently, shrieking in pain. The eagle and the black snake, long since wisely moved far away, were barely affected by this advanced martial art of ’Armor-Piercing’. Vital energy nurtures the spirit naturally; it can also harm it! With Lou Yi’s current towering qi-blood, the power of Armor-Piercing had reached a realm even he found unimaginable! "Armor-Piercing!" "Armor-Piercing!" "Armor-Piercing!" Lou Yi punched his own head repeatedly, blood spurting from his seven apertures. The black snake had long shrunk into a tumor on his shoulder, and the eagle appeared lethargic, its golden eyes dim. As for the invading humanoid light mass in his mind, it suffered unprecedented horrific impacts, crying incessantly! Ultimately, it couldn’t endure. Escaping Lou Yi’s mind, attempting to return to its original body. "Armor-Piercing!" Lou Yi’s eyes suddenly opened. All his qi-blood was fully activated at that moment. Simultaneously, a powerful resolve for it to die arose in his heart, followed by a fierce punch! The power of Armor-Piercing is determined by the user’s strength and faith. Therefore, this punch brought the sharp energy’s intensity to an unprecedented level! "Ah!!!" The green humanoid light mass violently oscillated in the air, like flames blown by strong winds, fluctuating wildly, till it ’snapped’ and exploded! ...
