Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect
Chapter 91: Sword Qi Severing Mending Heaven!

Outside the Witch Ghost Secret Realm, above Skeleton Mountain.

The void cracked open, and the Mending Heaven Peak Master and Daoist Hong Yun stepped out one after the other, their Foundation Establishment gazes sweeping over the entire Skeleton Mountain in an instant.

In that moment, the previously cloudless sky became overcast, with thunderbolts weaving through the clouds like silver snakes, illuminating half the sky.

Even a casual sweep of divine sense from a Foundation Establishment True Person caused the rogue cultivators and demon ghosts within the mountain to reveal expressions of fear.

"This is the place."

Although his divine sense found nothing, the Mending Heaven Peak Master couldn't help but smile.

That his divine sense failed to locate the target immediately indicated that the opponent's hiding place was of high quality!

"Unexpectedly, there's an additional gain—a secret realm?"

Thinking of the substantial harvest, the Mending Heaven Peak Master couldn't help but hum softly.

In the next second, he calculated with his fingers, attempting to discern the nature of the secret realm, but could only determine that it was an ordinary, unremarkable small secret realm.

"No matter, entering will reveal the truth."

The Mending Heaven Peak Master was confident.

As the head of one of the Four Peaks of the Primordial Saint Sect, his cultivation had long reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, just a step away from the late stage.

Looking across the world, who could kill him besides the remnants of True Lords?

With this thought, the Mending Heaven Peak Master immediately formed a hand seal, performing the "Heaven and Earth Searching Technique," quickly locking onto the entrance of the Witch Ghost Secret Realm.

"Found it!"

The Mending Heaven Peak Master smiled coldly and stepped towards the secret realm.

On the other side, Daoist Hong Yun, instead of rushing in, revealed a strange expression: "This secret realm... seems off!"

Bearing the name Hong Yun, he naturally excelled in the Dao of Fortune. Just as he was about to follow the Mending Heaven Peak Master into the secret realm, he suddenly sensed a heart-palpitating feeling, prompting him to halt decisively. Given his current cultivation, what could instill such a sense of crisis?

"This is getting interesting..."

With this thought, Daoist Hong Yun suddenly smiled coldly, watching the Mending Heaven Peak Master enter the secret realm with great interest, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

In the next second—

"Boom!!!"

A loud explosion emanated from within the secret realm, followed by a beam of spiritual light shooting skyward, stirring the earth veins of the eight hundred li Skeleton Mountain, revealing its true form.

Due to the Mending Heaven Peak Master's forceful intrusion, the Witch Ghost Secret Realm could no longer remain hidden and was completely exposed.

Simultaneously, a majestic, unparalleled sword qi appeared at the top of the secret realm, suspended in the sky like a galaxy, resembling an inverted mountain and sea.

Beneath the sword qi was the fleeing Mending Heaven Peak Master.

"Despicable junior! Treacherous villain! I..."

The Mending Heaven Peak Master cursed loudly as he fled, his earlier composure entirely gone, replaced by anger and anxiety from being thwarted.

A Golden Core sword qi!

The Mending Heaven Peak Master never expected that the secret realm he considered within his grasp concealed a sword qi left by a Golden Core True Lord!

It was like a shark hiding in a fish pond!

"Lü Yang... who exactly are you!?"

Due to the use of a divine talisman to obscure the cause and effect of the Witch Ghost Secret Realm, Lü Yang lost his protection, allowing the Mending Heaven Peak Master to calculate his identity clearly.

However, even with this clarity, the Mending Heaven Peak Master found it hard to believe.

According to his calculations, Lü Yang had been cultivating for less than a year, yet not only had he achieved perfection in Qi Refining, but he had also mastered the Saint Thief, a secret art of the Primordial Saint Sect.

Moreover, he had also acquired the Taiyin Shedding Form Corpse Dissolution True Method, the Heaven Severing Silkworm Secret, and other great divine abilities of the sect, typically reserved for true disciples. Yet, in reality, Lü Yang had just joined the sect! How could the Mending Heaven Peak Master believe this? It must be false; he had been deceived again!

He even suspected that Lü Yang was the reincarnation of a True Person of the sect.

"No, with such insidious and ruthless methods, there's no doubt—he must be the reincarnation of a True Person of our sect..."

The Mending Heaven Peak Master's thoughts raced, but the sword qi above forced him to abandon these distractions, fleeing through the air in an attempt to evade the sword qi's lock.

However, it was all in vain.

In the next second, the Mending Heaven Peak Master abruptly stopped, his expression grim, as further escape was futile—the sword qi had already locked onto his cause and effect!

A clear voice descended from the sky: "Demonic path, must be exterminated!"

Before the words faded, the sword qi struck!

The Mending Heaven Peak Master couldn't resist, but a jade token at his waist activated on its own, flying in front of him to block the sword qi.

In an instant, even the operation of heaven and earth seemed to slow down.

The sword qi reflected the image of a handsome young man in Daoist robes, while a stern-faced middle-aged man emerged from the jade token.

The two locked eyes, and an invisible mighty force clashed fiercely at a higher level.

"Crack."

With a loud noise, the jade token shattered.

Correspondingly, the sword qi was also diminished by ninety-nine percent, leaving only a wisp that penetrated the jade token's defense and struck the Mending Heaven Peak Master.

Yet, even so, the Mending Heaven Peak Master couldn't withstand it and exploded!

Amidst the scattered flesh and blood, only a powerful soul remained, its eyes filled with immense fury, staring towards the Witch Ghost Secret Realm.

Inside the secret realm, Lü Yang sighed helplessly upon seeing this.

"As expected, he wasn't killed."

Just as he had anticipated, the Mending Heaven Peak Master indeed possessed a Golden Core-level life-saving item, which activated at the critical moment to save his life.

"Fortunately, I have also succeeded here."

Under the Golden Core sword qi, the Mending Heaven Peak Master's physical body was destroyed, leaving only a soul, effectively severely injured.

Nearby, Daoist Hong Yun remained a bystander.

Taking advantage of the time gained by the Golden Core sword qi, Lü Yang successfully completed the final step of the 【Yama Palace】.

At this moment, the Myriad Spirits Banner swayed, and the eight hundred li Skeleton Mountain responded immediately. The magnificent 【Yama Palace】 rose from the ground, with the guardian deity Su Nu bathed entirely in divine light.

"Master."

Su Nu gracefully descended beside Lü Yang, respectfully bowing, showing no sign of resistance despite her achievements.

In fact, her beautiful eyes held a hint of fear as she looked at Lü Yang.

Since she was personally refined by Lü Yang's spiritual sense, Su Nu, now a guardian deity, was influenced, including her understanding of Lü Yang's temperament.

In her view, her master could be described with four words:

Meticulous as a needle!

Absolutely not to be offended!

Seeing Su Nu's respectful demeanor, Lü Yang nodded in satisfaction: "Come in."

As his words fell, Su Nu immediately responded softly, obediently entering Lü Yang's dantian, offering herself entirely without reservation.

In the next second, Lü Yang's aura surged!

Between his brows, a divine light as brilliant as the rising sun shone forth, with six dragon-shaped and phoenix-patterned talismanic characters glowing brightly.

【Underworld Lord's Ghost Position】

Subsequently, the earth veins of the eight hundred li Skeleton Mountain stirred, and an invisible supporting force descended, adding three more talismanic characters before the existing six.

Named: Yama Heaven.

【Yama Heaven Underworld Lord's Ghost Position】!

At this moment, Lü Yang felt a warm current flowing throughout his body, with Su Nu like a sweet dew, nourishing his dantian.

With such a Foundation Establishment guardian deity, although he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, he could already enjoy the enhancements and benefits of the Foundation Establishment realm, to the extent that even the transformation progress of the 【Corpse Dissolution Immortal】 had shortened from decades to mere months!

Practicing great divine abilities with a Foundation Establishment status naturally led to rapid progress!

While Lü Yang felt relaxed and joyful from his great success, the Mending Heaven Peak Master on the other side was not in a good mood.

"How is this possible..."

He stared blankly at Lü Yang's soaring aura, almost unable to believe his eyes: "The Heavenly Martial of Jiangdong? No! It's similar but not quite..."

Before he could figure it out, he saw Lü Yang glance sideways at him.

In an instant, the Mending Heaven Peak Master felt a chill throughout his body.

Now reduced to a soul, with greatly diminished cultivation, engaging in a duel with a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be dangerous!

"...Retreat!"

The Mending Heaven Peak Master's decision was swift, his soul immediately transforming into a stream of light retreating, even casting several avatars to confuse the pursuit.

However, upon seeing this, Lü Yang merely formed a hand seal.

With both hands clasped in a virtual gesture, index and little fingers bent inward. In the next second, a dark light surged behind Lü Yang, revealing a gloomy world.

Within it were countless witch ghosts, supporting a towering hall, roaring incessantly.

There were also impermanent beings claiming lives, ghost messengers capturing souls, judges rewarding and punishing, and wandering gods patrolling the heavens.

Eight righteous deities with blue faces and fangs, fierce yet solemn, each wielding golden shackles, silver chains, mourning sticks, and life-and-death books, surrounded the towering hall.

At the top of the hall, Lü Yang laughed heartily: "Senior, having come from afar, why rush to leave?"

In the next second, the 【Yama Palace】 opened and closed.

"Why not enter my urn and allow me to fulfill my duty as host!"

As his words fell, the Mending Heaven Peak Master didn't even have time to dodge, only feeling darkness before his eyes. When he looked back, he was already imprisoned within the 【Yama Palace】!
