Over the past three thousand years, countless people have wanted him dead, but he has managed to get through it all.

Even if he is the reincarnation of a true immortal, he cannot be allowed to bow his head and ask for death! Zi Yang, who only had half of his Nascent Soul left, used his hands to perform dense seals like attracting butterflies through flowers. A red fire lotus emerged and evaporated the black water dripping from the surroundings.

Furthermore, they locked onto the location where Shen Lian was hiding.

“Buzz!”

The red fire was blazing, and wherever it passed, the originally stable formation began to shake violently.

A large amount of five-colored mist was evaporated, and the explosive breath knocked Shen Lian out.

“Ka-ka-ka!”

In an instant, Shen Lian's body was like a snake shedding its skin, and layers of shattered fragments of the magic weapon splashed everywhere.

As soon as the Yuanying old monster made a move, he gave Shen Lian a warning and made him run around in the formation.

While running around, he kept adding protective magic weapons to his body to deal with the impact of the red fire lotus.

"Black Water Kun Spirit."

There were bursts of roars in the formation, and drops of black water reappeared, gathering in the air to form a black giant Kun that was more than 300 feet in size.

"go!"

As Shen Lian pointed, the black Kun spirit let out a roar, opened its mouth and spit out a long river of black water, pouring towards the red fire lotus.

The long black water river and the red fire lotus made a sizzling sound, and the entire formation was filled with scorching hot water vapor.

In the blink of an eye, most of the red fire lotus was extinguished, but there was always a ball of fire jumping in the black water, constantly chasing towards Shen Lian.

"go!"

At the same time, a long river of yellow turbidity emerged within the formation, like a long dragon with bared fangs and claws, pouring down towards the head of the old monster Ziyang.

When the turbid yellow river water fell on Ziyang's Yuanying, it immediately made the Yuanying grimace and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

“Yes!”

Seeing that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was effective, Shen Lian couldn't let Zi Yang escape, so he opened his mouth and spit out a stream of green light.

A green stream of light suddenly appeared in the sky and turned into an area of ​​several acres. The runes outlined on it were as thick as giant pythons.

In the blink of an eye, driven by magic power, the runes covered Zi Yang's Nascent Soul.

Suddenly, Zi Yang, who wanted to avoid the turbid yellow river water, felt countless transparent silk threads surrounding his Nascent Soul figurine, fixing him in place.

"Fourth-level Calming Spirit Talisman!"

The Nascent Soul is a spiritual body condensed from essence, energy and spirit. It goes without saying that it can determine his rank.

"Please go to die, fellow Taoist!"

Seeing this opportunity, Shen Lian pointed in the air.

The base of the Five Elements Reversal Array began to rumble, and five-colored streams of light formed a vast sea of ​​clouds within a hundred miles.

Snap!

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the sea of ​​clouds. Arcs of electricity filled the void and quickly condensed into a black lightning hundreds of feet thick, which struck Ziyang's head.

"ah!"

After being immobilized again, the old monster Zi Yang did not sit and wait for death. The remaining half of his Nascent Soul was muttering something, and a black mushroom grew on his bald head.

In the blink of an eye, a black mushroom cap about the size of an acre formed above him.

The thunder fell and struck the umbrella cover, immediately tearing a long hole in it.

The surging power of thunder poured in through the crack and penetrated into Zi Yang's body.

However, it was a pity that the most explosive force of the thunder was blocked by the black umbrella cover. After the subsequent thunder power dissipated, it no longer had the initial sharpness.

"The nine heavens are magnificent, with thunder as the guide, and the universe is using magic to break my predicament."

The old monster Zi Yang muttered something and made a magic seal with his hands. The thunder that poured down from the mushroom on his head was gathered between his hands, forming a black thunder cauldron.

Shen Lian was stunned by this scene.

Damn! This old monster's magic is amazing.

"break!"

In an instant, the black light exploded into a circle of ripples, and the green light threads solidified around Zi Yang were instantly blown into pieces.

Although he hasn't completely broken the Calming Talisman, Zi Yang can already move around in a small range.

However, before Zi Yang could run around, he discovered that the Calming Talisman that had just been torn apart by his Thunder Magic was falling from the sky again, repairing the torn place.

He saw that around the huge calming talisman, there were five more calming talismans emitting colorful spiritual light, and the colorful silk threads that gathered again fixed his Nascent Soul in place.

“See how many times you can borrow it!”

Shen Lian's body was flashing with colorful magic power, and his figure kept changing positions in the formation to avoid being caught by Zi Yang.

With a wave of his hand, the five-colored spiritual light gathered in the Five Elements Reversal Formation began to rotate in the opposite direction, enveloping Zi Yang inside the vortex.

"Thunder is coming!"

Boom! Thunder exploded in the sky, and lightning gathered from all directions.

The power of each bolt of lightning is no weaker than a strike from an ordinary Jindan Great Perfection cultivator.

The thunders intertwined and gathered together in the hollow area at the center of the vortex, and struck towards Ziyang's head.

Snap!

The black mushroom cap that had previously blocked the previous lightning strike was split in half by the lightning this time.

"Attract thunder!"

Zi Yang was still using the old method, catching the lightning falling on his body into his hands, trying to gather it into a thunder ball.

"Thunder is coming!"

"Thunder is coming!"

"Thunder is coming!"

Bolts of lightning as thick as arms rolled and crossed over from all directions in the colorful spiritual light.

As the thunder fell, the sea of ​​thunder gathered in front of Zi Yang grew larger and larger, and the violent aura was on the verge of getting out of control.

"I am bullying you because I have no physical body!"

Arcs of lightning kept flashing on Zi Yang's half-remaining Nascent Soul, causing his Nascent Soul to tremble every time.

Especially the half of the illusory Nascent Soul's body, which was constantly destroyed by the thunder, forcing him to mobilize the power of the Nascent Soul to repair it.

But he lacked the energy of Nascent Soul.

Shen Lian's fighting style was very simple, and the actual combat was much easier than he had expected. It consisted of two steps.

Settle in Ziyang.

Use lightning to strike hard.

But he also understood that the calming talisman had a limited duration and could not hold the old monster in place for long.

Only by dealing as severe a blow to Zi Yang as possible within this period of time will we be able to have an easier time later on.

Similarly, Zi Yang also realized Shen Lian's intention.

If he were intact, he would be able to break these calming talismans with a single blow, but now that is no longer possible.

If this continues, he will be the one who can't hold on.

Controlling the sea of ​​thunder in front of him, Zi Yang opened his mouth and a wisp of flame flew out. The fire showed seven brilliant colors, like a seven-colored fire lotus.

Under the brilliant colors, there was a terrifying aura that made Shen Lian feel like his body was about to melt.

The seven-colored fire lotus that was spewed out spun and rushed out.

Suddenly, the flaming petals bloomed in the air and turned into a flame that covered the sky and shot out.

The Seven-Colored Netherworld Fire is Zi Yang's most valuable weapon. He has been practicing it since before he possessed another body. It is his natal fire.

The seven-colored dark spirit fire splashed in all directions, like fire from heaven, and rushed towards the formation.

Puff! Puff! Wherever the flames passed, all the attacking power formed by the formation was burned away.

The formation that covered an area of ​​a hundred miles was pierced like a sieve by the flames.

Shen Lian, who was originally hiding in the formation, had no way to avoid it. Several colorful streams of fire found his position and hit him like a fire meteor.

Even the black water Kun spirit and the turbid yellow Nine-bend River that gathered together turned into nothingness under the colorful flames.

However, this is not the end.

Under the impact of the colorful light, most of the base of the Gaying combination formation was destroyed at once.

Looking at the incoming colorful flames, Shen Lian suddenly pushed his palm forward, and his body was covered with a layer of red-gold flames, and a number of khaki shields were opened in front of him.

Crack, crack, crack! The colorful flames instantly melted holes in dozens of shields, and the surroundings were filled with harsh sizzling sounds.

A flash of red-gold flame appeared on Shen Lian's hands, and he slapped the incoming colorful light.

Boom!

The red-gold flame and the colorful light collided and exploded, and Shen Lian's figure disappeared among the violent energy. Instead, there was a golden gourd.

The golden gourd rolled out, and with every breath a layer of skin fell off the surface of the gourd, constantly changing color.

At the same time, seeing that he had broken free from the restraints, Zi Yang hurriedly pushed out the thunder in his hand that was almost out of control.

Boom! At this moment, thunder exploded, and a sharp piercing sound pierced the sky, and ripples formed by circles of thunder and flames swept out.

The remaining formation base completely collapsed under the impact of the ripples.

The terrifying, almost suffocating atmosphere suddenly enveloped an area of ​​a hundred miles.

Zizi! Zizi! Zizi! Seeing that the dilemma was broken, the seven-colored flowing fire wrapped the remnant of Ziyang and quickly fled away.

He has been getting beaten so far in the fight. It can almost be said that Shen Lian did not take any direct action, but was using external force to attack him.

This style of play is too shameless.

Even the Nascent Soul can’t bear it.

Rumble.

The energy exploding from the formation impacted back and forth, continuously exploding outside the protective circle of the colorful flowing fire.

Inside the colorful flowing fire, Zi Yang, who was in the state of a crippled infant, screamed continuously. There were cracks on his broken infant, and it felt like a piece of fine porcelain being shattered.

At this moment, in the broken formation, the two people who were supposed to be fighting were dodging desperately.

Shen Lian had no choice. Although he could resist the fourth-level magical energy, it would consume his own magical energy.

In this situation, it is better to use your own strengths and use magic weapons to block it.

He has the most magic weapons.

Zi Yang had no choice. His Nascent Soul was already broken. After casting spells several times, especially after using his natal spiritual fire, the Nascent Soul Qi in the remaining infant had become unbalanced.

It's going to collapse.

Boom! Streams of light penetrated the sky and the earth, and colorful spiritual light reappeared at the edges of the four sides. New formations appeared outside the torn formations.

It just happened to block the way of Zi Yang who was fleeing far away!

"ah!"

Looking at the gourd in the distance rolling in the energy and peeling its skin layer by layer, Zi Yang's eyes revealed an indescribable viciousness.

“Cough cough cough!”

Shen Lian's voice came from the gourd that had turned black.

"The fourth-order Nascent Soul is indeed so terrifying. You are almost peeling off all the 108 layers of my gourd skin."

A teasing voice was heard.

The next moment, the voice became cold.

"Please go to die, fellow Taoist!"

"Wind, thunder gathers!"

In the re-gathered five-colored spiritual light, a hurricane rolled up, lightning flashed, and an extremely huge silver thunder dragon rode the hurricane and slammed towards Zi Yang.

"go!"

Facing the falling thunder dragon, Zi Yang did not dare to sacrifice his seven-colored Nether Spirit Fire, but let it surround his body to protect him.

Under such circumstances, he was hit hard by the thunder dragon's tail.

The crackling thunder instantly enveloped the colorful Nether Spirit Fire, and pieces of colorful flames burst out, piercing through the surrounding formation area.

Fortunately, with the help of the formation, these small holes were repaired in a short time.

However, Zi Yang did not sit there and wait for death. He took advantage of the moment when he was struck by lightning and used the power of thunder to attack Shen Lian's position.

Immediately afterwards, his Nascent Soul opened its mouth and spit out bright red sword energy.

These sword energies gathered together, the small ones were only a few feet long, and the large ones were dozens of feet long, emitting astonishing sharpness and bombarding towards Shen Lian.

The exploding sword energy in the sky suppressed other sounds in the formation.

At the same time, Zi Yang's second move followed like a shadow, a gleam of light bloomed in the eyes of the crippled baby, and it quickly turned into a red, translucent little phoenix.

The phoenix bird appeared in surprise, and in the blink of an eye it landed next to Shen Lian's ear, emitting a loud cry.

“Buzz!”

Not a single sound of the phoenix's cry was wasted, all of it was poured into Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A transparent green soul-calming talisman lit up, isolating the incoming sound waves from the divine man.

However, under the impact, a large part of the sound waves still passed through the green transparent talisman protection.

But the defense of the first quasi-fourth-level soul-soothing talisman also gave the divine figure time to prepare.

The little man with divine consciousness immediately made the posture of a turtle huddling together and drilled into the talisman formation constructed by four third-grade top-grade soul-calming talismans.

In a flash, Shen Lian, who was submerged in the sword light outside, began to shed his skin again.

After the previous attack, only more than thirty layers of the 108-layer leather gourd were left, and they were completely annihilated by the sword light in just two or three breaths.

But after the last layer of the gourd collapsed, a green teapot appeared in the sword light.

Amid the crackling sound of sword light, the shedding of skin began again.

Faced with the endless defensive magic weapons, Zi Yang felt frustrated.

If this continues, he will be exhausted to death.

Jindan cultivators like Shen Lian are the most shameless. They clearly possess combat power comparable to that of a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator, but they just hide in a turtle shell from beginning to end.

Just before that, he clearly sensed that his seven-colored Nether Spirit Fire was blocked by the red-gold flame controlled by Shen Lian.

Although he is the weakest Nascent Soul now, it is enough to prove that Shen Lian has the ability comparable to the fourth level.

Surrounded by formations on all sides, it is already a dilemma.

Fighting to the death...

Watching the gourds shed their skins one after another, they turned into teapots, then wine pots, and then into alchemy furnaces...

When he thought of this, Zi Yang felt hopeless.

It’s so frustrating!

Shen Lian didn't fight him head-on at all.

"puff!"

When the last ray of sword light was worn away, a ball of transparent sword energy was suspended in the air.

This turned out to be a rare treasure.

A red alchemy furnace swayed in the air and soon disappeared in the colorful spiritual mist.

"Thunder is coming!"

Thunder gathered in the void, and the sky full of lightning once again enveloped Ziyang.

Zizizizi! The crackling sound of rain hitting banana leaves continued, and countless thunderbolts struck the seven-colored flames.

Finally, when a bolt of lightning several dozen feet long fell, a crack appeared in the colorful flame.

Thunders from all directions rushed in from the crack, and balls of red Nascent Soul energy exploded on Zi Yang's Nascent Soul.

"Thunder gathers!"

Seeing that the thunder finally tore through Zi Yang's defense, Shen Lian had no intention of rushing forward. Not only did he not move forward, he also hid himself again.

He didn't want any memory fragments at all.

Instead, he immediately increased the power of attracting the heavenly thunder.

A trapped beast will still fight, let alone a Nascent Soul? Within the formation, the Thunder Dragon reappeared, and the hurricane it controlled rushed towards Ziyang.

"Water!"

"The illusion array begins!"

"Five Elements Spirit Forbidden Talisman Array x10"

The Soul-Forbidden Talisman Array is a simplified version of the Mind-Calming Talisman. It is a talisman array composed of third-order, medium-grade five elements, and its power is no less than the previous Mind-Calming Talisman.

To be on the safe side, Shen Lian directly increased it tenfold.

Long black rivers swirled above the formation, dripping black torrential rain, washing away the remaining fire energy in the formation, turning the formation into a rainstorm scene.

Inside the formation, enchanting sounds were heard, and the tragic scenes of being possessed and struck by lightning were replayed.

He was sobbing and complaining, with tears streaming down his face.

Thunder dragons emerged one after another from the downpour and rushed towards Ziyang.

The colorful Nether Spirit Fire surrounded Zi Yang's Nascent Soul, but the fire had already faded like smoke. The cracks on the broken Nascent Soul had already opened up, and were being washed away by countless lightning bolts.

It seemed like it would completely collapse in the next moment.

"I am a Yuanying, how dare you deceive me!"

"How dare you deceive me!"

Ziyang, who was already torn apart, roared, his voice filled with indescribable anger.

"This is the spirit of your reincarnation as a powerful being!"

"If you hide your head and show your tail like this, even if you ascend to heaven, the heaven and earth will be unfair!"

Under the impact of thunder, numerous phantoms have appeared on the cracked Zi Yang, and wisps of Nascent Soul Qi are dissipating between heaven and earth.

"Hide your head and show your tail, come out and fight me!"

In the formation, apart from the sound of heavy rain, thunder and hurricane, the only thing left was Zi Yang's roar.

Shen Lian quietly hid in the corner of the formation, listening to Zi Yang's roar.

Zi Yang's angry roar did not cause much ripples in his mood. His formations and talismans were also part of his own combat power. How could he be said to be a coward?

When a person is about to die, what's wrong with cursing a few words?

It's impossible for him to go out.

He was afraid that old monster Zi Yang might have another trick up his sleeve.

"ah……"

"Get out of here!"

The illusory Nascent Soul was as thin as green smoke and was constantly washed by heavy rain and thunder. It was already on the verge of collapse.

"You're so cruel!"

"You have such means, but you are still afraid of a disabled baby like me?"

…

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me what realm you were in before your reincarnation?"

In the corner of the formation, Shen Lian pointed his fingers repeatedly, and a series of five-element talisman formations floated in the air, surrounding the old monster Zi Yang.

At this point, he became more cautious. It was now the last minute and he couldn't afford to suffer a setback.

As for what Zi Yang said.

Can you believe what the old Yuanying monster said? Seeing that he still couldn't get a response, Ziyang's aura of desolation became stronger.

At this moment, his strength had already dropped to the Jindan level, and he was still in the process of defeat.

In this state, it was impossible to find Shen Lian who was hiding in the formation.

"Fellow Daoist, I will give you all my collections. Can you let my soul enter the reincarnation?"

…

“This old man…”

"No!"

"sweet!"

Half a day later, the last wisp of Nascent Soul Qi dissipated between heaven and earth.

Zi Yang's figure swayed in the air, he looked at the world with nostalgia, and a wisp of light green soul smoke rose up.

"Send you on your way."

Looking at the soul smoke rising, Shen Lian, who was hiding in the corner, murmured.

After all, this was the first Nascent Soul that he had killed.

There was no direct fighting throughout the whole process, it was all based on formations and talismans. I think Fellow Daoist Zi Yang must be very angry.

Snap!

Immediately, he waved his hand to the void, and a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, shattering the green soul smoke.

Boom! In an instant, below the rising soul smoke, a emerald green sword about an inch in size shone brightly.

The sword light was as fierce as a dragon, and its edge swept in all directions.

Puff puff puff! In order to prevent Zi Yang from taking desperate measures, Shen Lian arranged a dozen sets of five-element talismans and arrays, which were instantly torn into powder by the sword energy like torn silk.

The six merged into one formation were then submerged in the vast sword energy.
