Chapter 1205: Female Cultivator

Novel:

The "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect" manifested by the secondary primordial spirit within the Frozen Mausoleum, coupled with the Pure Yang set, possessed strength comparable to the rebirth of the most formidable Primordial Yang Patriarch.

In the most direct clash of Great Dao powers, this aspect radiated terrifying heat. Han Xingzi, who had been frozen stiff, suddenly felt a warm current surge over him, and his body began to warm up and regain sensation.

But his joy was short-lived, as he soon found his skin drying and cracking, indicating that the temperature within the Frozen Mausoleum had soared to an extremely high level.

Han Xingzi's Nascent Soul was horrified. Although he had long known that Sect Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect was the foremost Divine Transformation cultivator in the Eastern Continent, the scene before him still made it difficult for him to believe.

One must understand that the core of the entire Frozen Mausoleum was their six-tier grand formation of ice and snow. Due to this, cultivators practicing the Three Yin Scripture could leverage a geographical advantage, unleashing 120% of their power, while others could only unleash up to 80%. Grand Daos like the Fire Element, furthermore, were naturally countered by the Three Yin Annihilation Array, reducing their power by an additional 20%.

Yet, even under these circumstances, the Great Sun Aspect manifested by Chen Mobai actually showed a tendency to incinerate this Frozen Mausoleum. If this were outside the mausoleum, imagine its power!

Chen Mobai, in the sky, had unleashed the full power of the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect." The reason he could suppress his opponent was that he had not been weakened by the power of the Frozen Mausoleum.

If he could truly only unleash 60% of his power, he certainly wouldn't be a match. He had used the Pure Yang Great Dao to permanently stabilize his "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect."

However, just as he could use the Pure Yang Great Dao to neutralize the Pure Yin Great Dao, the entity within the coffin could also, in turn, use the Pure Yin Great Dao to counter him.

As both sides exchanged blows in a probing manner, the two Great Dao powers of Pure Yang and Pure Yin were constantly locked in a tug-of-war, eroding each other. It would depend on who could no longer sustain it first; their permanently stabilized realm would then be broken. At that point, they would be at the mercy of their opponent.

However, Chen Mobai used the Square Inch Scroll to perform a calculation and discovered that his Pure Yang Great Dao power was very likely to be depleted first.

After all, he had only reached the Divine Transformation stage a few decades ago, so his accumulation was not extensive. Moreover, Great Dao power could only be painstakingly absorbed and refined from the Great Dao by controlling a Dao Fruit or by hosting a primordial spirit.

Fortunately, Chen Mobai had a deep foundation when he formed his Nascent Soul, having condensed 108 streams of true qi. His speed in cultivating and refining the Great Dao was several times faster than those quick achievers in the Tianhe Realm.

Furthermore, as the Pure Yang Great Dao was among the most practical Great Daos, in his daily life, besides his main body cultivating sacred virtue, he had his secondary primordial spirit host a primordial spirit, focusing most of his energy on the Pure Yang Great Dao. His accumulation was thus quite decent.

However, these advantages would certainly be like a drop in the ocean if he were to face an old monster with thousands of years of accumulated power. Therefore, Chen Mobai knew that to end this fight, he could only finish it quickly.

Before that, however, he still wanted to see if the situation could be resolved with words. "I apologize for inadvertently disturbing you by entering here," he said. "However, a female cultivator who accompanied me has mysteriously disappeared. My divine sense has searched every corner of the Frozen Mausoleum, but only your location remains impenetrable. Might she be with you?"

In response, the mysterious entity within the coffin let out a cold laugh. "Assume I captured her myself. What will you do about it?" Hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that a major battle was inevitable; only by force could one subdue the other.

As the Square Inch Scroll operated, a battle plan was already formulated. He shifted his aspect to gaze at the blue moon in mid-air.

He had already discerned that it was the Grand Yin Pearl from Han Xingzi's possession.

But at this moment, under the control of the entity within the coffin, it had shed its mundane appearance, revealing its true form as a Dao Fruit, freezing the void. In addition, the ice-blue gem at the top of the palace was clearly also a Dao Fruit, though it was unknown whether it was Profound Yin or Lesser Yin.

While resisting the surge of Pure Yin Great Dao power unleashed by his opponent, Chen Mobai simultaneously merged the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect" with the Primordial Yang Sword, and began to truly engage in battle with the mysterious entity within the coffin.

A violet gleam burst forth from the edge of the great sun, carrying the power of a single sword stroke to shatter myriad spells, striking down upon the palace atop Snowy Cloud Peak.

The ice-blue gem immediately radiated the power of the Ice and Snow Great Dao, transforming into a crystalline, hexagonal snowflake. Like a delicate yet resilient shield, it blocked the violet gleam. However, the sword energy imbued by the Primordial Yang Sword was not something ordinary defensive means could withstand.

Accompanied by cracking sounds, the crystalline snowflake, like ice cracking underfoot, shattered and melted in just a single breath.

But the moment the snowflake shattered, it instantly condensed the endless ice spirit energy of the Frozen Mausoleum, transforming into even more crystalline snowflakes. Like falling snow, they covered the unstoppable violet sword energy gleams piece by piece.

Soon, Chen Mobai felt that the sword energy he had unleashed no longer had any sensation, as if it had been completely frozen, with all its sword intent and spirituality annihilated.

Yet, facing such a defense from his opponent, Chen Mobai's expression remained unchanged. This sword strike was merely a probe!

Being blocked was expected.

But what if it were thousands upon thousands of sword strikes?

With this thought, the Primordial Yang Sword flew out from the great sun, circled the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect," then all the violet gleams from the edge of the aspect burst forth, transforming into a dense sea of violet swords in mid-air that descended overwhelmingly towards Snowy Cloud Peak.

Facing this move, the entity within the coffin finally could no longer remain still! With a boom, the coffin lid opened.

A female cultivator, clad in cold jade armor, with skin as pale as snow and a face as cold as frost, appeared before Chen Mobai's eyes. Chen Mobai sensed no life force from her, yet no death qi either.

This female cultivator seemed to be in a mysterious state, neither living nor dead. He didn't know which Great Dao's power this was. But at least, Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Scroll had no particularly active reaction.

This meant that the opponent was not in a state of 'corpse dissolution.' What was going on?

Chen Mobai was puzzled. In his original estimation, for someone to have survived for thousands of years, True Monarch Broken Jade must have practiced the demonic art of 'corpse dissolution.' In that case, as long as he could force out her true body, he could use the power of the Pure Yang Scroll to activate the Primordial Yang Sword for a fatal blow.

But the scene before him indicated that his battle plan could not proceed. In an instant, Chen Mobai switched to his backup plan.

The female cultivator, clad in cold jade armor, pushed out a palm. The gem atop the palace immediately fell into her palm, transforming instantly into a terrifying cold current of ice and snow, which she blew with her palm towards the vast sea of violet swords descending from the sky.

Amidst creaking sounds, streams of violet gleams were frozen in the process of descending, solidifying above the palace like violet ice sculptures. But at this moment, Chen Mobai had already unleashed a truly fatal sword strike.

The sixth-tier Primordial Yang Sword, after absorbing the power of the secondary primordial spirit and the Pure Yang set, transformed into a brilliant golden thread. Like a ray of light that sliced through heaven and earth, it instantly cleaved through all the cold currents, striking the female cultivator's head.

With a thud!

The female cultivator's head, the only part not covered by the cold jade armor, was immediately embedded by the Primordial Yang Sword. However, even this six-tier sword was stuck in her hard skull, unable to cut further.

Furthermore, no blood flowed from the wound. Boom!

At this moment, Chen Mobai, through the Primordial Yang Sword, also sensed a bone-chilling Great Dao power erupting from within the female cultivator, aiming to freeze and seal his Sacred Virtue Great Dao.

Although the Sacred Virtue Great Dao was an innate Great Dao, it was not one of destruction or slaughter, and thus lacked offensive power. However, for self-preservation and defense, it was more than sufficient.

The Great Dao power representing coldness within the female cultivator's body simply could not freeze the Primordial Yang Sword, which was empowered by the Sacred Virtue Great Dao. She appeared to feel no pain, her expression unchanged as she reached out and gripped the blade embedded in her skull, forcefully pulling it out.

Then, under Chen Mobai's astonished gaze, the sword mark on her skull began to slowly heal.

The slowness was due to the Pure Yang Great Dao power he had imbued into the Primordial Yang Sword. However, after being eroded by the Pure Yin Great Dao, her injury still healed.

"I think I understand now," Chen Mobai said. "You used the Great Dao of Ice and Snow, or perhaps Pure Yin, to freeze yourself into this state, freezing life and death..." His words caused the female cultivator's expression to change for the first time.

"Today, you must die here!"

As she spoke, the blue moon in the sky descended and imprinted itself on her pale forehead.

And the moment the Grand Yin Dao Fruit entered her body, her aura began to endlessly rise. Although she had not yet broken through to the Void Refinement stage, she had already far surpassed the peak of Divine Transformation. If Chen Mobai were to describe her using opponents he had encountered, she would be roughly equivalent to the old flood dragon standing on the Profound Sea while bearing the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.

Such an opponent was indeed worthy of a warning from the Heavenly Decree.

Given this, Chen Mobai also decided to go all out!

With a thought, the Primordial Yang Sword flew back into the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Violet Extreme Aspect," then transformed back into the form of the secondary primordial spirit, drifting gracefully in mid-air.

Seeing Chen Mobai's actions, the female cultivator's expression also turned solemn. She decided to respond to all changes with constancy, leveraging the geographical advantage of the Frozen Mausoleum and the continuous Great Dao power from the six-tier grand formation to suppress and exhaust her opponent to death.

But at this moment, Chen Mobai, however, burst forth with silver light all over his body, holding the Primordial Yang Sword, and stepped forward into the void before him. Then, under the female cultivator's shocked gaze, Chen Mobai's figure directly vanished into the distance.

Her divine sense scoured heaven and earth, searching every part of the Frozen Mausoleum, but found no trace of Chen Mobai.

At this moment, she remembered that the moment she absorbed the Grand Yin Pearl, the power to freeze the void had also dissipated. "Is this person from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace?" she wondered.

He used void-breaking escape and fled!

After realizing this, the female cultivator's expression turned cold. She immediately opened the Frozen Mausoleum and stepped into the long-unseen Tianhe Realm. Meanwhile, outside the Frozen Mausoleum, Chen Mobai saw the female cultivator appear, his expression slightly surprised.

"I said, today you must die!"

Hearing the female cultivator's cold words, Chen Mobai, however, smiled slightly.

Then another Chen Mobai appeared above the female cultivator's head, holding a large bell and smashing it down.
