"Second Layer of the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique: Karma Burning Wheel!"
Si Kong Jingyuan gasped, suspicion rising in his heart.
'Is that masked man really Li Weiyi?'
According to the information he had gathered, Li Weiyi was still at the Five Seas Realm during the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. Less than two years had passed since then.
'How could he have mastered the second layer of a Great Technique to such a degree in such a short time?'
Even with exceptional talent, it was impossible to progress so quickly.
The timeline simply didn't add up.
Normally, Li Weiyi would indeed have struggled to reach this level in just nine months. But he had the Time Cocoon, which meant his true cultivation time for the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique had already exceeded a year.
Using his body and the Fusang Divine Tree's light-and-shadow projection as the axis, and flames and Spiritual Qi as the wheel, a fierce wind howled.
Li Weiyi controlled the Karma Burning Wheel's radius, shrinking it to just ten feet.
This reduced Spiritual Qi consumption and intensified the flames. The Dao Technique resembled a spinning sun, illuminating the dim swamp and rapidly closing in on Si Kong Jingyuan.
Si Kong Jingyuan retreated swiftly, abandoning all traces of contempt as he focused on observation.
"The Karma Burning Wheel truly lives up to its reputation. The force of these flames and the tearing power are enough to shatter my Protective Spiritual Qi. This Li Weiyi, who planted his Dao Seed in the Wind Mansion, is even more formidable than I expected. He may have truly reached the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm."
With Si Kong Jingyuan 's cultivation, even standing still, a Martial-Mystic Cultivator at the Second Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm couldn't break through his Protective Spiritual Qi.
Therefore, once this move was unleashed, there was no choice but to trust Li Weiyi's earlier words.
"Whoosh!"
No matter how strong, he was still only at the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm. Si Kong Jingyuan remained unfazed, releasing his Dao Heart Manifestation.
His Dao Heart Manifestation could extend up to a mile away, rivaling the Great True Inheritance Disciple and the strongest figures recorded in the Jiazi Register.
However, Si Kong Jingyuan had only recently broken through to the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm. His Spiritual Qi and soul spirit strength were still insufficient, and his Spiritual Qi would almost slip out of control beyond a hundred yards from his body.
He would need to cultivate diligently for several more years at the Fourth Heaven to truly reach a level comparable to the Great True Inheritance Disciple.
The closer to the center of Si Kong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Manifestation, the more concentrated his Spiritual Qi became, and the denser the Scriptures grew. Upon colliding with the Karma Burning Wheel, both figures accelerated towards each other.
"Boom!"
A clash of icy and fiery energies erupted.
The Karma Burning Wheel relentlessly tore through Si Kong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Manifestation, resembling a true wheel forged from crimson gold.
Li Weiyi showed no trace of joy on his face.
Instead, his brow furrowed in solemn concentration, his vigilance heightened.
How could a figure like Si Kong Jingyuan possibly be defeated so easily?
"Li Weiyi, your arrogance and overconfidence will come at a price."
Si Kong Jingyuan took a step back, his figure vanishing from Li Weiyi's sight.
The entire Dao Heart Manifestation field was now filled with swirling, iridescent light, a kaleidoscope of otherworldly scenes enveloping the Karma Burning Wheel.
Li Weiyi unleashed his Psychic Power to probe, but found Si Kong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Manifestation seemed boundless, radiating a powerful surge of Willpower that attacked him directly.
Facing Si Kong Jingyuan, Li Weiyi held no illusions of underestimating his opponent.
He knew that with his Martial-Mystic Dao cultivation at the First Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, he stood no chance against him.
Therefore, he had to rely on the Karma Burning Wheel to fully integrate his Psychic Power and Golden Crow Flame. This was an all-out effort.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of golden light descended from above, aiming to obliterate Li Weiyi in a single strike.
Si Kong Jingyuan, having honed his skills in the Netherrealm of the Dead for four years, including two and a half years spent battling Dead Spirits, had seen countless battles.
He immediately recognized the Karma Burning Wheel's weaknesses: its upper and lower flanks.
Li Weiyi had anticipated this.
Activating his Blood Handprint Demonic Armor, threads of blood mist and over nine hundred crimson scriptures erupted from the soft armor, shattering the golden beam.
Above.
The figure of Si Kong Jingyuan appeared upside down, holding a golden ancient mirror and diving downward.
The beam of light had just shot out from the mirror's surface.
"This golden mirror... is it the legendary Myriad-Character Artifact wielded by the Hall Master of the Withered Flourish (Kurong) Hall? No, it's a replica Battle Artifact."
Li Weiyi saw through the deception. His initial surprise faded, and he poured all his energy into activating the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor. Crimson scriptures enveloped his entire body as he unleashed the Heaven-Turning Palm Seal.
The golden ancient mirror in Si Kong Jingyuan's hand displayed over seven hundred scriptures, revealing that even as a replica, it possessed the power of a Seventh-Grade Hundred-Character Artifact.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi's Karma Burning Wheel shattered first, followed by Si Kong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Manifestation.
Then, the palm seal clashed with the golden mirror.
Li Weiyi, at a disadvantage due to the terrain and the downward attack, was sent plummeting into the swamp's muddy abyss.
Si Kong Jingyuan, struck by Li Weiyi's palm, was thrown upward, his Qi and blood churning.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi shot out of the mud like lightning, his feet treading on the shadow of a Yellow Dragon as he soared into the sky.
He pointed a finger at Si Kong Jingyuan.
The finger technique was incredibly fast, exceeding the speed of sound the instant he struck.
Li Weiyi unleashed the Cihang Enlightenment Finger, channeling liquid qi from his Divine Gate directly at Si Kong Jingyuan's forehead.
Si Kong Jingyuan reacted with lightning-fast reflexes. He couldn't activate his Golden Mirror in time, but he used the mirror as a shield to block Li Weiyi's fingertip.
Ripples of finger force surged from the mirror's surface, throwing Si Kong Jingyuan off balance and sending him plummeting downward.
"Another finger technique Great Technique?"
Si Kong Jingyuan's mind was in turmoil.
As a Divine Son, he was being driven into a disadvantage by a Cultivator whose cultivation level was lower than his own. His mood was understandably sour.
Li Weiyi didn't give him a chance to activate his Golden Mirror again. Each move came faster than the last. Stepping on the Jade Cauldron Shadow, he slammed into Si Kong Jingyuan, sending him crashing into the swamp.
Si Kong Jingyuan created his Dao Heart Manifestation Qi Mist Shroud, a protective barrier of Spiritual Qi. He blasted backward through the swamp for dozens of meters, carving a wide trench in his wake.
He possessed a Golden Pure Immortal Physique, his muscles and physique forged like gold. When Spiritual Qi circulated within him, his entire body shimmered with light.
Golden, Silver, and glazed glass Pure Immortal Physiques all held advantages in physical cultivation.
Yet even with his formidable physique, Si Kong Jingyuan had felt excruciating pain when he blocked Li Weiyi's "Jade Cauldron Shakes Mountains and Rivers" with his arms.
"How many Dao Techniques do you truly master?" Si Kong Jingyuan, now thirty-six, had only managed to master the Myriad Transformations Ice Seal Technique and another Escape Technique.
In contrast, Li Weiyi wielded various Dao-level Martial-Mystic Techniques with effortless grace, executing them with unparalleled skill.
He didn't seem like a young man barely past twenty.
Si Kong Jingyuan held the Seventh-Grade Hundred-Character Artifact, the Golden Mirror, which possessed immense power but required time to activate.
His opponent, however, executed Dao Techniques with fluid ease and tactical freedom.
More crucially, even if he managed to unleash the Golden Mirror's full might, Li Weiyi still had the higher-grade Blood Handprint Demonic Armor to defend himself.
This battle...
Seemed unfavorable.
The masked Li Weiyi drifted back to the ground: "Are you so certain I am Li Weiyi?"
Si Kong Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, his mind filled with doubt.
He thought, "Could this be a Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall expert hired by Li Weiyi to kill me in the Netherdark Swamp? No, the level of Spiritual Qi and the Martial-Mystic techniques don't lie. He's trying to make me doubt myself and frighten me. Once a person's heart wavers, their fighting spirit and combat intelligence crumble."
From another battlefield, a scream echoed through the swamp.
Si Kong Ce was struck by the Yin Ghost Commander, a fifty-meter-tall specter, and sent flying through the air, coughing up blood.
He was then engulfed by the Duling Cold Fire spewed from the commander's mouth.
Si Kong Qin used his Escape Technique to rescue Si Kong Ce from the muddy swamp, fleeing at top speed.
Tuoba Butuo, riding the Yin Ghost Commander, pursued them with each step covering dozens of meters.
Just as Si Kong Jingyuan's attention wavered, Li Weiyi's form blurred.
In an instant, he materialized before him, unleashing Jade Cauldron Shakes Mountains and Rivers, stomping down from above.
"Excellent!"
Si Kong Jingyuan had his own Battle Technique in mind. He hadn't truly been distracted; he'd been luring Li Weiyi into a trap, activating his Golden Mirror.
"Boom!"
A beam of light erupted from the mirror, shattering the Jade Cauldron and striking Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi's body was enveloped in Blood Mist and crimson scriptures as he clashed head-on with the Golden Mirror's power.
Having reached the Dao Seed Realm, he could now unleash a portion of the true power of his Blood Handprint Demonic Armor.
This Ninth-Grade Hundred-Character Artifact Soft Armor wasn't just for defense; it could also absorb part of the opponent's attack and convert it into counterforce. This was the confidence Li Weiyi needed to face a Seventh-Grade Hundred-Character Artifact barehanded.
Of course, as a Demonic Artifact, it required blood to further activate its power.
Li Weiyi didn't think it was necessary to expend blood to deal with Si Kong Jingyuan.
"Bang! Bang!"
After a dozen consecutive exchanges, Li Weiyi combined his Psychic Power and Martial-Mystic Dao techniques.
The Karma Burning Wheel suddenly reappeared, sending Si Kong Jingyuan flying. His robes were shredded and consumed by flames.
Li Weiyi couldn't defeat Si Kong Jingyuan using Martial-Mystic Dao or Psychic Power alone. But when both powers were wielded by a single person, he could hold his own.
Si Kong Jingyuan staggered to the ground, his upper body completely exposed. His muscles were firm, his physique robust.
Meanwhile, Si Kong Qin and Si Kong Ce were clearly overwhelmed by the Ghost Banner, their defeat inevitable.
Li Weiyi, who had initially been confident of victory, grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
Li Weiyi, the Young Heavenly Emperor, lived up to his reputation. His extraordinary talent allowed him to combine the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique and Psychic Power attacks with near-flawless precision.
While other Dual Cultivation of Martial-Mystic Dao and Psychic Power practitioners could also utilize both forces in combat, they could never achieve the same seamless integration.
Si Kongj6ingyuan struggled to maintain his composure. Rage consumed his reason as he silently chanted, "Hundred Ghosts Garrison Ancestral Field, Manifestation of Ten Thousand Soldiers."
"Whoosh!"
Violent spatial fluctuations erupted from Si Kong Jingyuan's Ancestral Field beneath his abdomen. Then, clusters of Yin Qi erupted from within, descending into the region occupied by his Dao Heart Manifestation.
Each cluster of Yin Qi transformed into a Deceased Spirit Ghost General, each radiating formidable power.
They took on various forms, some even wielding spiritual artifacts.
A hundred Dead Spirit Ghost Generals surrounded Si Kong Jingyuan. Some stood on the ground, others floated in mid-air, wailing and roaring. Their power merged seamlessly with the iridescent Dao Heart Manifestation, forming a formidable military formation.
Li Weiyi stood within Si Kong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Manifestation, as if trapped in a Ghost Domain.
His expression was grave.
"Hundred Ghosts Garrison Ancestral Field... What kind of secret technique is this? No wonder my Psychic Power attacks were completely useless against you. It seems you've cultivated not only an incredibly powerful physique but also a soul spirit of the highest caliber."
This was Si Kong Jingyuan's ultimate trump card. His journey to the Nether Realm of the Dead was solely to cultivate this secret technique.
The Ancestral Field housed a hundred ghosts, making him a force equivalent to an entire army.
Under normal circumstances, such an overpowered secret technique should never be revealed unless victory was assured.
Revealing it would also expose the true strength of the Hall Master of the Withered Flourish (Kurong) Hall.
The Hall Master's Ancestral Field housed not just a hundred ghosts, but also Ghost Generals.
Si Kong Jingyuan was truly enraged. Driven by an urgent desire to eliminate Li Weiyi, he couldn't afford to let him grow stronger.
That's why he risked releasing the hundred ghosts, ordering them to surround and assassinate Li Weiyi.
"Second Phoenix!" Li Weiyi shouted, drawing the Yellow Dragon Sword.
He turned and fled.
"Within my Dao Heart Manifestation, your speed is severely restricted. You can't escape."
Si Kong Jingyuan channeled his Spiritual Qi into the Golden Mirror, which erupted in a hundred-zhang golden radiance, surrounded by Scripture fragments that spun rapidly. He then launched the mirror at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi abruptly stopped, standing perfectly straight. He turned and unleashed the Spirit Treasure Seizing Hand, his hands leaving thousands of afterimages.
From the fingertips of each afterimage, a river of Spiritual Qi shot forth.
Dozens of these rivers instantly wrapped around the incoming Golden Mirror.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi caught the circular golden ancient mirror barehanded. The nine hundred crimson scriptures on his body vibrated violently, dissolving the mirror's impact. His body was forced backward.
After regaining his balance, he quickly absorbed the Golden Mirror into his Ancestral Field and sealed it with his Spiritual Qi.
'That was fast!'
Before Si Kong Jingyuan could react, Li Weiyi had already taken the Golden Mirror, severing their connection.
Si Kong Jingyuan froze in shock, his eyes widening in fury: "Didn't your Ancestral Field become useless?"
