Follow Yue Congraoâs words, the surrounding clouds suddenly began to ripple. Rays of golden qi appeared from them and encaged the region almost a thousand meters all around! If someone was in the sky at this moment, they would see the miraculous sight of a white sun rising in the night. Endless golden light, seemingly ripping apart the night to come forth, gathered on Yue Congraoâs finger. Because of this, one couldnât look directly it. It was as if it was forged from gold.
Xu Yangyiâs expression was terribly grave. He sensed⊠an astonishing oppressive might forming in front of him. It was akin to facing the Three Great Mountains and the Five Sacred Mountains, no, this was even heavier!

Crack crack crack
. The crack of his bones was faintly audible, yet he wasnât the least bit panicked. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Yue Congraoâs finger.
The bodhi seed in his mind spun at lighting speed, and his heart was pounding so hard that he could hear it in his ears. Plan after feasible plan streaked through his brain.
âFormless.â At this time, Yue Congrao spoke softly. His golden finger rumbled and exploded.
An immeasurable amount of light seethed out and shrouded Xu Yangyiâs body. There was no part of the sky untouched by murderous will. To the extremes of the sky and the depths of the earth, it was hard to escape.
âTen Cardinals Purgatory!â Xu Yangyi roared. On the Fishbowel Sword, the Five Star-Deities shimmered. Nothing held back at all, his total spiritual force dramatically flared.
âROAR!!!â Ten fire-dragons snarled and emerged with shocking momentum. Arriving in a flash, the golden light loudly collided with the fire-dragons. One sonorous boom afterwards, the area 300 meters all around spread with purple flames! The golden light was like an all-pervading death god, but the flames were similar to a flight of rampaging dragons. Unexpectedly, Yue Congraoâs golden light was obstructed for a breath of time!
âFour times the spiritual force?â Yue Congraoâs gaze slightly flashed. âSuperb⊠this fortune really is hard to gain. But in that case, it is likewise a great added difficulty for advancing to Core Formation. Regardless, it is only this. If he wants to obstruct Formless, it still isnât enough.â
This time, he crooked his finger, and vast breadths of golden light burst into a sky of golden lotuses in the next second. All the flames were absorbed inside them.
âMy virtuous son-in-law, donât blame me for breaking this move of yours. Cultivation requires a reverential heart. If one is arrogant, sooner or later your head will end up somewhere it shouldnât be. I will give you a reminder. This is good for you.â
Swish swishâŠ
The fields of golden lotuses welcomed the wind and swayed. Lotuses slowly blossomed, and golden light turned the surroundings into a golden paradise. A pure and holy murderous will was vaguely contained within, as if one was facing a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.
âBreak,â Yue Congrao uttered.
However⊠in this moment, his brows furrowed together, and his head snapped up.
In the air, something was rushing straight at him!
Not aimed at his body, but rather his spiritual sense!
Hum hum humâŠ
In the sky, the cloudbank trembled. An invisible palm was frantically falling. No one whatsoever couldâve expected that Xu Yangyi would actually go on the offensive against an initial Core Formation move! A counterattack on Daomaster Yue!
Yue Congrao didnât know what to think, and softly exhaled. In a flash, a sharp crash rang out, akin to the sound of glass hitting the floor. Inch after inch, the formless palm cracked apart a hundred meters away from him. But at the same time, a silhouette appeared behind him.
âA spiritual-sense attack? Virtuous son-in-law, you actually have such a precious divine ability? Truly unfathomable.â
He gained no response.
There was only a swoosh and a streak of resplendent azure light. Shining on the horizon, the light went into the form of a crescent and slashed straight at Yue Congraoâs neck.
âDivine Dragon Stomps Mountain!â
Thrum!
The air in the vicinity was sliced oped. Clouds drained away into the space all around. Yet in the next second, the azure crescent-shaped dragon vanished without warning. The tip of Xu Yangyiâs foot was already in Yue Congraoâs palm, not budging an inch.
But now, Yue Congraoâs endless golden light shredded apart that space. All the clouds there were relentlessly quaking.
âNot bad, not bad.â Yue Congrao nodded emotionally. âJust now you had at least two opportunities to flee, youâŠâ Suddenly, his brows knitted together, and he looked at his hand in shock.
A sensation of feeblenessâŠ
Where the two of them were connected, a feeling of powerlessness unexpectedly spread. The flesh of Yue Congraoâs hand was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Weakening!
This was the negative effect Xu Yangyi felt was attached to his leg. A wisp of ecstasy surged in his heart.
The lottery-like Hundred Eras of Spring had actually triggered!
Furthermore, the level of this weakening divine ability definitely wasnât low!
In spite of this, Yue Congrao didnât care about his hand. How rich was his battle experience? He already felt⊠a terrible qi madly gathering under his feet.
This was Xu Yangyiâs true killing move!
Infinite red light surged under Yue Congraoâs feet, and one after another mysteriously profound runes sprang up in the surrounding space. A feeling of seriousness that he hadnât felt for a long time arose in his heart.
Heavenly Opening Great Explosion!
The Five Star-Deities on the Fishbowel Sword were already manifesting. In the next second, Xu Yangyi hacked out with full force!
âThis moveâs power is not weak. But the reason is because of his realm. This is a divine ability that can jointly rise with oneâs realm. The higher the realm, the greater the powerâŠâ Yue Congrao could no longer continue thinking. He took a deep breath, qi explosively flaring, and raised his hands up. âOpen!!!â
Following his shout, the golden character of open, no less than a hundred meters in size, appeared in the air. The entire space seemed to be shaking. The red light that was just starting to spread unexpectedly died out little by little in a strange manner.

Xu Yangyi took a step back, but there wasnât a trace of dejection on his face. Instead, he looked at Yue Congraoâs left hand in satisfaction.
In a trance, Yue Congrao also looked at his left hand.
The second hand.
Presently, he had now used two hands!
At the very beginning, Yue Congrao had said that once Xu Yangyi received his finger he could consider himself to have passed the test. Right now, however, Yue Congrao had used ten whole fingers. Two hands!
But he also hadnât expected that Xu Yangyi was actually concealing a killing move that made him feel a little fear.
âYou, have passed.â Eventually, Yue Congrao raised his head and looked at Xu Yangyi gravely. âI never couldâve imagined that a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, not even half-step Core Formation, would truly be able to force an initial Core Formation cultivator to use two hands in a mere time frame of four months.â
Xu Yangyiâs heart was frantically pounding. Moments ago, he seemed calm, but in fact all his qi had converged into these three chained moves. Up against another cultivator, he absolutely couldnât have managed this, but under the premise that Daomaster Yue was only teaching him a lesson, he then forced the other to use two hands.
Once again he clearly recognized the powerful of Core Formation.
He carefully checked himself over. In his body, the Divine Flame of Conviction was still burning, but it was already much, much smaller than before. It was now the size of a fingernail at most. He roughly estimated that in a month it would burn out.
He inhaled heavily and looked directly at Yue Congrao. âDaomaster Yue, you arenât starting to think about not going to Saint Johnâs Cathedral to save Junior, right?â
âOh?â Yue Congrao remarked noncommittally.
âI acknowledge that my relation with Daomaster Yue is not deep. No one would be kind to anyone for no reason. But in these past months it could be said that youâve treated me with the utmost care. Although my realm is not high, I am not stupid.â
âHehe,â Yue Congrao let out a bark of laughter.
Xu Yangyi considered his words. Presently, he deeply felt the otherâs moodiness. In addition, it was extremely well hidden. If he hadnât seen a thread of a clue just now, perhaps he himself wouldnât have found it at all.
âThe first time you met me, you said that âno matter what I had to go to Saint Johnâs Cathedralâ. This time, though, you said that âif my strength isnât enough, then I wonât be goingâ. Junior believes that Daomaster Yue finally takes me seriously now?â
If it werenât for the eidetic memory granted by the butterfly pill spirit, he absolutely wouldnât have seen Yue Congraoâs change of attitude in these two sentences.
âMy guess is that maybe you didnât have hope I could enter the top three, sir. Instead, you have some other methods to allow me to enter the Holy Relicâs main hall in Saint Johnâs Cathedral. But to your surprise now, youâve discovered that I really have the strength? The safety and lack of consequences is far better than your way?â
Yue Congrao held a smile for a few seconds and then unexpectedly nodded. âNot bad.â
âIn general, China considers the western cultivation world a savage land. How could 200 years of development be spoken of on equal terms with a grand, ancient countryâs 5,000 years? But that being the caseâŠâ He seemed not to expose anything alarming, and said calmly, âThe apex cultivators of the West are just the slightest hair different than China, and only the least bit worse than India.â
âFrom the beginning, I truly didnât think you would be able to enter the top three. Still, I wasnât going to let you die, either. I must save someone who Angel fancies. Itâs just thatâŠâ he said emotionlessly, âNot dying is not equal to not ruined.â
âUnder the hands of the Holy Whip and the two legendary devil-hunters, my being a step late would lead to my virtuous son-in-lawâs qi sea being wasted. Angel likely wouldnât blame her father, but the inheritor of the Dao of Pills must not die.â
Xu Yangyi wasnât angry. At least Daomaster Yueâs move was played a lot more obviously and properly than Daomaster Ancientpineâs. Yue Congrao also admitted it without fooling around.
As for the other not being embarrassed, what good would that do?
This word didnât exist in the dictionary of Core Formation supremes.
There was no point in anger. Only power was real.
âYou need an opportunity to truly approach the Holy Relic with the Spirit Forbiddance Pill, so my âlittle sacrificeâ isnât a big deal,â Xu Yangyi said lowly, âBut then whatâs changed your decision, Daomaster Yue?â
âWhat do you think, my virtuous son-in-law?â
Xu Yangyi didnât shy away, either. âProbably because the Dao Master found out that these juniors arenât so easily played around with when you when to âhang out with themâ. But just as you were hesitating to completely sacrifice me, you found out that my strength isnât inferior to theirs, right?â
Yue Congrao finally laughed, his smile reaching the corners of his eyes. âWell said.â
âI keep on wanting and wanting you to marry Angel.â
Xu Yangyi let out a long sigh.
Only now he was safe and sound.
At the very least, Yue Congrao would definitely save him now.
Because I made him see my âvalueâ. My potential. Starting now, I can consider myself to actually be on the chessboard for the Secondary Realm Anchor. Not as a pawn that can only advance without retreating!
Xu Yangyi inwardly gnashed his teeth, and his desire for strength became even heavier in his heart.
âVirtuous son-in-law doesnât have to worry. If said that I once hesitated to sacrifice you or not, it was because of the Dao of Pills. Now, though, it is because of you yourself.â Yue Congrao shot a deep glance at Xu Yangyi. âYour potential is too rare. For me⊠to once in a while plant the seed of good karma is not necessarily undoable.â
âWait,â Yue Congrao finished speaking, and the two of them spoke no further. Instead, they looked at the surroundings of the eight towering pillars of light.
Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed⊠thirty minutes passed, and the light pillar with the giant blood-red bat spinning inside began to quiver.
Hum hum humâŠ
On top of the several-hundred-meter-sized light pillar, the bat was slowly fading away. Instead, it was unexpectedly replaced by a name.
âThe House of Dracul, Ansas âThe Ice-cold Visageâ. Quasi Grand Duke.â
âIt has begunâŠâ Not even Yue Congrao hid his excitement in this moment. He took a step forward, reared his head back, and erupted with great laughter. âThe once-in-ten-years discord of devils has finally begun!â
âAnd our opportunity⊠has also begun!â
