Chapter 762: Eternal Dream

All of a sudden, the infernal badge in Weeping Soul's hand exploded into two bursts of black qi, one of which transformed into an indistinct bug that instantly burrowed its way into her body, while the other transformed into a black dagger that shot forth toward Liu Qi's chest at an astonishing speed.

Liu Qi was bound to the cross, so he was unable to evade the dagger, and he could only raise his freed front paw to protect himself.

However, the dagger suddenly began to squirm like an agile spirit snake, slithering through a gap between Liu Qi's paws before instantly piercing into his chest.

His chest instantly exploded as blood splattered in all directions, and the dagger was able to pierce almost all the way through his body.

Liu Qi immediately threw up a large mouthful of blood that was interspersed with organ fragments, while the middle-aged man in the sky shuddered before becoming even more insubstantial in form.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and the gray light barrier encompassing Han Li and the others also dimmed significantly.

Liu Qi's tail unfurled from around Weeping Soul's body, and she tumbled to the ground, throwing her hands to her own head as she let loose a blood-curdling howl.

Black light was swirling around her body, and through the black light, one could see an indistinct bug projection in her abdomen, squirming incessantly as it rapidly devoured her energy.

Han Li and the others were stunned by this turn of events, but they immediately reacted and sprang into action, with Fox 3 flying over to Liu Qi's side, while Han Li hurriedly rushed over to Weeping Soul to support her.

He injected his spiritual sense into her body to inspect her internal condition, upon which his expression instantly darkened significantly.

"What do you think of my Immortal Devouring Dagger?" Yin Chengquan chuckled as he made a grabbing motion, and a giant gray palm projection appeared in front of him, then swooped down toward the middle-aged man.

The giant gray hand was giving off incredibly formidable soul power fluctuations, and even though Han Li and the others were currently situated in the gray light barrier, they were still instantly knocked unconscious.

The middle-aged man threw a punch in retaliation, releasing a pillar of white light to oppose the gray palm projection.

A resounding boom rang out as the two clashed, but the pillar of white light was clearly inferior in power and was instantly crushed upon contact.

The gray palm projection continued to swoop down, grasping onto the middle-aged man before crushing him with ease.

However, not only was Yin Chengquan not elated in the slightest to see this, his expression had completely darkened instead, and he let loose a low roar as he made a grabbing motion with both hands.

Four identical gray palm projections appeared around him in a flash, then swept through the air in all directions, and the surrounding space was instantly shattered, revealing the middle-aged man standing nearby in a completely unscathed condition, looking as if he were about to approach Yin Chengquan.

Within the gray light barrier down below, Liu Qi, Weeping Soul, and Han Li's group were also completely unharmed, and there was a ball of white light hovering in front of Liu Qi, releasing white halos in all directions.

A black dagger and a black bug projection were sealed inside the ball of light, unable to escape.

Yin Chengquan's expression instantly darkened even further upon seeing this.

The gray mist was formed by countless spiritual sense threads, all of which fused into the four gray palm projections.

As a result, the palm projections swelled even further in size, and a series of profound patterns appeared upon them as they came crashing down with tremendous force while giving off fearsome spiritual sense fluctuations.

All of the space in their wake was filled with these formidable spiritual sense fluctuations, instantly eliminating all paths for evasion and retreat for the fox projection.

"That won't be enough to kill me!" the fox projection roared as the light emanating from its body lit brightened significantly, and it swept its nine tails through the air, releasing what seemed to be like a boundless barrage of waves of white light.

The four giant palm projections struck the waves of white light, only to be instantly devoured as if they had fallen into the sea.

A stunned look appeared on Yin Chengquan's face upon seeing this, following which he noticed what was happening inside the gray light barrier, and the astonishment in his eyes was instantly replaced with fury.

"You're a blind fool, Yin Chengquan! Let's settle our differences here once and for all!" the fox projection chortled as its nine tails abruptly straightened out, and every single strand of fur on those tails began to glow radiantly.

Immediately thereafter, countless strands of fox fur shot forth in unison like crossbow arrows before striking the four gray palm projections, instantly punching them full of tiny holes.

The four palm projections quickly exploded, following which the remaining strands of fox fur hurtled directly toward Yin Chengquan.

Yin Chengquan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately shot back in retreat, while the fox projection sprang forward in hot pursuit.

The battle continued, with neither side able to get the better of the other.

The two began moving faster and faster until they were nothing more than a pair of untraceable blurs, and resounding booms were ringing out incessantly as they clashed over and over again.

At the same time, Han Li's trio had descended beside the purple lightning pond.

Liu Qi had already significantly lessened the power of the purple lightning pond for them, but it was still apparent from the aura emanating from the pond that it was several times more formidable than the azure lightning.

Han Li flew into the purple lightning pond without any hesitation, and Shi Chuankong immediately followed suit as well.

However, Fox 3 decided not to enter the pond.

He was already at the High Zenith Stage, and at this point, most of the baleful qi in his body had already been eradicated by the azure lightning pond. Even though there was still some left, it was only a minuscule amount, and there was no need for him to take his chances in the purple lightning pond.

In contrast, it was a much better course of action for him to take a rest and prime himself into his best possible condition so that he could assist Han Li in severing the other lightning chains.

With that in mind, Fox 3 sat down with his legs crossed beside the lightning pond, then summoned a pair of Immortal Origin Stones to help himself replenish his immortal spiritual power.
