Chapter 4577: Mystical Treasure

"The Origin Item!" a slender young man in a golden shirt exclaimed, his face filled with excitement.He reached out with his right hand, grabbing at the void, trying to seize the Origin Item.

Just then, a cool female voice rang out, "If you wouldn't leave when asked, then don't blame us for being impolite. Go back to where you came from!"

Upon hearing this, the young man in the golden shirt felt drowsy; a powerful wave of sleepiness washed over him, slowing his movements. Both Taiyi Golden Immortals were affected, becoming lethargic, their eyelids drooping, spirits flagging, as if they could fall asleep at any moment.

A dazzling spiritual light emanated from the black and white jade pendant on the red-shirted man's chest, causing him to frown slightly. The jade pendant was a high-grade immortal artifact called the "Two-Form Pendant," which he had obtained years ago. This treasure incorporated a Grandmist Spirit Treasure, allowing it to weaken the power of Dream Law. He had possessed this item for many years, and any enemy attempting to use Dream Law against him had been utterly ineffective.

The red-shirted man's figure flickered, appearing before the Origin Item, and he bent down to grasp it. Just then, a red light flared in front of him, and Wang Qingling emerged, with a pair of red bird wings on her back.

The red-shirted man's expression turned cold, and his right fist glowed with a burst of red light as he struck towards Wang Qingling. Wang Qingling's right hand transformed into a dragon claw, meeting his attack.

With a muffled thud, the red-shirted man was sent flying backward, his face filled with disbelief. "You've also cultivated an immortal body!" he exclaimed.

A black ghostly claw emerged from the ground, seized the Origin Item, and retreated back underground.

At this moment, the young man in the golden shirt and his two companions returned to normal. They each released their spirit beasts and merged with them, transforming respectively into a yellow lizard, a Golden Crow, and a massive black bear.

The Golden Crow and the yellow lizard charged directly at Ye Haitang, while the massive black bear pounced on Wang Qingling. The red-shirted man released a giant red ape, whose body glowed brightly with red light, and he merged with it.

The Golden Crow flapped its wings lightly, causing the ground to spontaneously combust and flames to surge skyward. It then opened its mouth and spewed a stream of golden flames directly at Ye Haitang. Even the void could not withstand the golden flames, twisting, deforming, and tearing open.

The yellow lizard burrowed underground, intending to launch a sneak attack. Ye Haitang formed a hand seal, and countless streams of Yin energy surged from her body, engulfing an area of one hundred thousand miles around her. The air filled with wailing ghosts and chilling winds, as massive Red Lotus Immortal Lightning bolts continuously plunged into the Yin energy, vanishing without a trace as if swallowed by the sea.

The Yin energy enveloped the Golden Crow, and to its surprise, it found itself in a vast, hazy space filled with flickering ghostly figures. This was the Five Ghosts Immortal Annihilation Array! All five ghosts were Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Ye Haitang had transformed herself into the core of the array.

A golden halo erupted from the Golden Crow's body, spreading in all directions. Wherever it passed, the ground burst into raging flames that shot skyward, dispelling the Yin energy. A black ghostly claw appeared out of thin air and struck the Golden Crow, causing some golden feathers to fall from its body. Ye Haitang reappeared, shrouded in towering Yin energy.

The Golden Crow stomped its right claw into the void, causing spatial ripples. A massive golden bird claw emerged, piercing through Ye Haitang's body, revealing her to be merely an illusion."What kind of array is this?!" the Golden Crow exclaimed, speaking human language.

Outside the grand array, Wang Qingling was battling a massive black bear and a giant red ape. The black bear spewed a black sound wave, cracking the void and the ground, sending dust and smoke everywhere. The giant red ape swung a massive red staff, striking towards Wang Qingling, while simultaneously, the ground ignited with rolling flames that shot skyward.

"You're like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot; you overestimate yourselves. Surrender now!" Wang Qingling declared. A blue sound wave swept out, meeting the black sound wave, which shattered instantly as if made of paper.

Upon hearing this, the black bear immediately felt a strong wave of drowsiness and became lethargic. The blue sound wave swept past the black bear's body, causing it to cough up a large mouthful of vital blood and close its eyes.

Wang Qingling's red bird wings on her back flapped gently, and she vanished from her spot, reappearing in front of the black bear. Her right hand transformed into a dragon claw, effortlessly piercing through the black bear's body. A miniature black bear flew out of its form, simultaneously revealing a tall young man in a black shirt.

The moment the black-shirted young man appeared, Wang Qingling unleashed a blue sound wave that swept across his body. He instantly collapsed, his internal organs shattered by the sound wave, and his nascent soul flew out of his body.

Wang Qingling collected the miniature black bear and the nascent soul. She had not used soul-based laws because the Myriad Beast Palace had a succession list; if she killed them, their golden forms on the list could be used to lodge a complaint. Wang Qingling wasn't afraid of the Myriad Beast Palace; she simply wished to prevent them from discovering that the Wang family had obtained the Origin Item, thereby avoiding unnecessary trouble.

"What kind of secret art is this? You can use multiple laws!" the giant red ape asked, his voice filled with confusion. They were both spirit masters, capable of merging with spirit beasts. The difference was that he could only merge with his life-bound spirit beast, while Wang Qingling could merge with multiple life-bound spirit beasts, leading to a power amplification on a completely different level.

"Want to know? Go ask King Yama!" Wang Qingling's tone was icy. A blue sound wave swept out, heading straight for the giant red ape.

The giant red ape frowned deeply, feeling its ears assaulted by a cacophony of sounds. It swung its massive red staff to meet the blue sound wave, shattering it.

A red light flared behind the giant red ape, and Wang Qingling reappeared, her dragon claws lunging directly at it. Wang Qingling had cultivated an immortal body, while Wang Meng and Wang Que had only cultivated to peak true spirits. Even so, they could still provide Wang Qingling with a certain degree of amplification.

A bloody hole opened in the giant red ape's head, and a miniature ape flew out of its body, revealing the red-shirted man. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he spat out five red-glowing flying knives that merged into a single massive red blade, slashing towards Wang Qingling.

Wang Qingling's body grew numerous dragon scales, protecting her entire form. The massive red blade struck the scales, shattering and tearing them, leaving a bloody gash on Wang Qingling's arm. She opened her mouth and spewed a blue sound wave that swiftly swept past the red-shirted man's body. His internal organs shattered, and blood vessels all over his body burst. He collapsed, and his nascent soul, having just left his body, rapidly expanded as if about to self-detonate.

A golden halo swept past the nascent soul, causing it to return to normal. Wang Qingling took out a silver-glowing talisman, placed it on the nascent soul, then conjured a golden jade bottle and collected the miniature ape.

As the Yin energy dispersed, Ye Haitang had also dealt with her enemies. She didn't even need to use Daoist arts; she simply used the five ghosts to set up the Five Ghosts Immortal Annihilation Array, defeating her enemies one by one.

At the peak of the mountain, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qingfeng, and Wang Yunlong stood before a massive silver pool. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as massive Immortal Lightning bolts sliced through the sky, striking towards them."A Lightning Pool?" Wang Qingfeng asked in confusion, holding a golden jade stone in his hand. This was the Origin Item; he had found it near the silver pool.
