Chapter 2479: Escape (None Today)

In a direct confrontation, Wang Ruyan, though perhaps outmatched, wouldn't have been defeated this easily.

The Yaksha Tribe, mastering wind escape techniques and possessing formidable physical bodies, are much harder to deal with than the Essence Fire Tribe.

Since ascending to the Xuanyang Realm, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had more encounters with the Essence Fire Tribe and fewer with the Yaksha Tribe.

Different races possess distinct innate divine abilities. Without the Calamity Substitute Pearl, Wang Ruyan would have certainly perished.

Just as the young man in green was about to deploy other techniques, thousands of blue lightning orbs rained down, striking him.

Before the young man in green could evade, a loud horn blast echoed.

He merely frowned, formed a hand seal, and the Yaksha phantom emitted a hazy green sound wave, shattering the descending blue lightning orbs.

Wang Changsheng's brows furrowed deeply. Did the opponent possess a unique treasure that could nullify the Spirit Suppressing Horn? Or was it that the Spirit Suppressing Horn had little effect on cultivators at the perfected Void Refinement stage?

He had no time to ponder further; the young man in green had already vanished.

Wang Changsheng let out a mighty roar, causing the void to vibrate and distort—it was the Spirit Suppressing Roar.

Wang Ruyan, recalling something, formed a hand seal. Numerous musical notes materialized in the air, congealing into a thick sonic shield that enveloped her entire body. Simultaneously, a dazzling green light emanated from her chest, manifesting as a green light screen.

A strong gust of wind swept by, and the young man in green abruptly appeared before Wang Ruyan.

He swung his trident, thrusting it towards Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan reacted swiftly, flicking her sleeve. Four gleaming green short blades shot out, instantly merging into a single, hazy green giant blade.

The young man in green looked disdainful, confident in his powerful physical body.

He was confident he could withstand even a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure, let alone a low-grade one.

The green giant blade, instead of striking the young man in green, impacted the green trident.

With a dull clang, the green trident was blocked by the green giant blade.

The young man in green opened his mouth and unleashed a hazy green sound wave towards Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's defenses flickered wildly. She spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Countless blue mists emerged, forming a hazy blue towering wave that crashed towards the young man in green. Showing no fear, he wielded his green trident, easily shattering the colossal wave and sending blue seawater splashing in every direction.

A mass of seawater glowed with dazzling blue light, taking on Wang Changsheng's form.

Wang Changsheng's right fist ignited with snow-blue flames as he slammed it towards the young man in green.

The young man in green showed no desire to prolong the fight. With a gentle flap of the green feathered wings on his back, he vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he reappeared in front of Wang Ruyan, thrusting his green trident at her.

At this critical moment, countless blue mists materialized out of thin air, forming the shape of a Kirin Tortoise.

It stood on the ground, its massive shell forming a blue protective wall around Wang Ruyan.

The green trident struck the Kirin Tortoise's shell with a dull thud.

The young man in green was somewhat surprised. He frowned deeply, and just as he was about to unleash another divine ability, countless thick yellow earthen ropes burst from the ground, binding his body tightly.

The young man in green snorted softly. A brilliant green light erupted from his body, which then expanded rapidly, causing all the yellow earthen ropes to snap.

The ground abruptly cracked open, sending dust billowing into the sky and countless yellow grains of sand scattering with the wind.

The young man in green gently flapped the green feathered wings on his back and vanished from his position.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were now close, both glowing with blue light, though Wang Ruyan's aura was weakened.

The young man in green sneered, poised to unleash another divine ability.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and once again unleashed the Spirit Suppressing Roar.

This time was different from before. Wang Ruyan also employed the Nine Revolutions Divine Cultivation Grand Technique, doubling her spiritual sense. Even without this secret art, their combined spiritual sense could rival a perfected Void Refinement cultivator. With both their spiritual senses doubled, they now reached the early Integration stage.

Upon hearing this sound, the young man in green shrieked in agony and plummeted from the sky. The old man in gold sprayed blood from his mouth, unable to stand steadily.

Wang Ruyan flicked her right hand, and a golden light shot out, vanishing in an instant.

With a flash of golden light, a dazzling golden orb appeared above the young man in green. It was the Immortal Extinguishing Pearl, infused with three strands of Geng Metal Divine Thunder, specifically designed to counter body cultivators, and originally acquired from the Essence Fire Tribe.

The runes on the Immortal Extinguishing Pearl's surface glowed intensely, transforming into a sphere of golden lightning that enveloped an area of several dozen miles with immense power.

Eighteen gleaming green talismans descended from the sky. After a series of muffled thuds, all eighteen green talismans successively exploded, forming a thick green light barrier that covered an area of several hundred miles.

The surface of the green light barrier was covered with Buddhist runes, depicting a green lotus pattern, accompanied by resonant Buddhist chants.

Shortly after, the lightning dissipated, revealing the young man in green, disheveled and smelling of burnt flesh. He had several dreadful lacerations, but his injuries were not severe.

He formed a hand seal, and a green light shot out, materializing into a colossal Yaksha phantom.

The Yaksha phantom opened its mouth and unleashed a hazy green sound wave, striking the green light barrier.

It moved its arms, striking at the green light barrier.

The young man in green summoned multiple treasures to attack the green light barrier.

He exhausted all his techniques, causing various spiritual lights to flare, but to no avail.

It took him an entire day to break free, demonstrating the formidable defensive power of this set of array talismans.

The young man in green spent several hours helping the old man in gold escape.

"What are the origins of these two individuals? To possess Buddhist array talismans of such power is unheard of among the Buddhist cultivators on Xuanyi Continent."

The old man in gold looked utterly perplexed and felt extremely frustrated.

The young man in green was named Bayin, a Void Refinement cultivator specifically nurtured by the Yaksha Tribe. Having endured countless battles, Bayin had risen through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, becoming a top priority for the Yaksha Tribe due to his achievements. He had previously slain numerous human Void Refinement cultivators, yet he was trapped for an entire day by a set of array talismans. No one would believe it if this news spread.

If it had been any other Void Refinement cultivator, they would surely have been trapped for much longer.

"The Xuanyang Realm isn't limited to just the Xuanyi Continent. They are likely Buddhist cultivators from other regions. These two possess considerable divine abilities, and we absolutely cannot let them escape. Inform our other kin to spare no effort in hunting down human Void Refinement cultivators and ensure they are killed. If they manage to flee and grow stronger, they will undoubtedly become formidable adversaries."

Bayin commanded, feeling disgraced that two Void Refinement cultivators had managed to escape from him.

The old man in gold nodded, retrieved a shimmering magic disc, and cast several spells into it.

The two transformed into streaks of light and flew off in different directions.

In a narrow valley, the ground was strewn with numerous broken stones.

A graceful young woman in a green dress stood atop a large boulder, holding a green beast hide. Judging by her attire, she was clearly a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect.

Two streaks of light flew from a distance, landing before the young woman in green. They were a man and a woman.

"Just the two of you? Where are Junior Nephew Sun and the others?"

The young woman in green frowned and explained that they had been ordered to venture into the desolate lands in search of Creation Divine Water. First, they encountered Jin Yuan of the Essence Fire Tribe and fought desperately to break through the encirclement, suffering heavy casualties. After finally acquiring some Creation Divine Water, they then ran into a master from the Yaksha Tribe. They were forced to distribute the Creation Divine Water among the other disciples and scatter to break out, hoping to bring at least some back.

"We're not sure. They might have already left the desolate lands."

A disciple replied.

"Never mind. Hand over the Creation Divine Water to me; we're leaving this place at once."

The young woman in green collected the Creation Divine Water from them and then led them away from the area.
