sparent shield."Boom!"The terrifying magical energy unleashed by Prince Guochin and Prince Cangrong exploded against this layer of light shield.Power surged outward, an invisible wave of energy rippli...Five black beams, all containing extremely strong energy!

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right palm, and condensed a ball of true qi, forming a barrier!

"Boom..."

The black blast slammed against the barrier, erupting with power that shook the entire chamber!

"Annihilation Power." Fang Yu placed his right palm down and looked at the Hua Die Zhenren before him, his eyes cold.

A will, to actually be able to use the power of annihilation

This was not what he had expected.

The power of annihilation, as one of the most powerful energies, is rarely cultivated. This is because the power of annihilation has the characteristic of restraining life, making the cultivation process extremely difficult and requiring the killing of numerous beings to achieve a small degree of success...

In that year's cultivation world, only a handful of demonic cultivators possessed the power of annihilation.

Now, the real flower butterfly in front of us, with just a wave of their hand, can unleash annihilating power!

This suggests...she was most likely a demon cultivator back then!

"There's no need to be so aggressive. You kidnapped my friend, and I haven't even lost my temper yet, but you're the one who's getting angry" Fang Yu looked at Huad ie Zhenren and smiled faintly.

At this moment, the real-life flower fairy's eyes flashed with surprise.

She originally thought that just now, one strike would be enough to kill Fang Yu along with Bai Ran behind him.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yu effortlessly blocked it.

This child... is more powerful than she anticipated.

“I said it before, I chose her as my successor because it's her good fortune earned over many lifetimes and a great opportunity. Since you know my identity, you should be happy for her instead of coming here to disrupt the opportunities that belong to her,” Huadie Zhenren said softly.

"Chance" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ling'er who stood in the corner. His tone turned cold as he said, "Although I've never received any so-called inheritance, I know quite a bit about how cultivators pass down their knowledge. Even if you wanted to pour all your cultivation into her, there's no need to lay such a complicated formation beneath her feet."

"This formation's purpose... it probably isn't about passing something down to her. It's more likely trying to extract something from her body, right"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Hua Die Zhenren's face, creased with wrinkles, twitched slightly.

"Poppycock!" Hua Die Zhenren's eyes flashed with fury, her left hand clenching as black light condensed into a half-meter long black staff.

Seeing this black stick, Fang Yu's brows furrowed slightly. The shape of the stick felt familiar to him as if he had heard about it somewhere before.

"Let me tell you, you wouldn't even know its value," Huadicheng said with a chilling smile. "This is the Black Soul Staff, a top-grade magic weapon that once attracted thousands of cultivators to fight over it."

Black Soul Staff.

Hearing this name, Fang Yu immediately remembered it.

Just as Huadichengzhen said, this is a top-tier magic treasure. It once caused a sensation in the cultivation world.

However, this black spirit staff tends toward evil affinity and was swiftly recalled by the Righteous Alliance, classified as a prohibited item.

But if that were all, the Black Spirit Staff's reputation wouldn't be so renowned as to shake the entire cultivation world.

The real reason the Black Soul Staff became famous was that after being reclaimed by the Righteous Alliance, it was actually stolen!

The Black Soul Staff was locked away in the Righteous Alliance's forbidden artifact repository, which, in theory, was the safest place in the entire Cultivation world.

Yet, the Black Spirit Staff just vanished!

The news of the stolen Black Spirit Staff caused an uproar throughout the cultivation world.

At that time, there were already many people who were dissatisfied with the Righteous Path Alliance. They seized the opportunity and believed that this was the Righteous Path Alliance's self-dealing, which subsequently triggered a sensation—the movement of opposing the Righteous Path Alliance.

Of course, that turmoil was quelled within half a month.

But the reputation of the Black Spirit Staff also became widely known because of this.

Any cultivator who has lived through that era knows of the existence of the Black Soul Staff.

However, the attention of almost everyone was focused on the confrontation between the Right Path Alliance and the Left Path Alliance.

The whereabouts of this fuse, the Black Spirit Staff, were forgotten.

Fang Yu didn't expect that after so many years, he would actually see the once-famous Hei Po Stick in the hands of a will.

"Where did you come from" Fangyu asked.

"You don't need to know that." Huadice Zhenren said coldly, clenching the Heipo Stick in his left hand!

"Hum..."

A burst of mechanical whirring echoed through the chamber!

Originally, Bai Ran who had been struck on the head by the previous figure was injured. After hearing this heart-piercing clang, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Fang Yu frowned, turned around, and with a grab of his right hand, lifted Bai Ran and Qin Yao from the ground using his true qi. Then, he pushed them out of the secret room to a position dozens of meters away.

"Even at the brink of death, he diverted his attention to save others"

At this moment, she grasped the Black Soul Staff and smashed it down toward Fang Yu's head!

The Black Soul Staff flashed with a dark glow, its spiritual power surging outwards!

It is said that the Black Soul Staff's power comes from its special material and the powerful spiritual force embedded within it.

To be struck by it, the injury wouldn't be to the flesh, but to the soul within!

Physical injuries can be healed, but damage to the soul is extremely difficult to repair!

And Huadie Zhenren's strike went straight for Fang Yu's head!

She wanted to shatter Fang Yu's soul with one strike!

"Bang!"

Just as the Black Soul Staff was about to strike Fang Yu's head, Fang Yu suddenly turned around, raised his left hand, and blocked the attack with his arm!

Fang Yu didn't feel pain in his arm, but the soul body beneath his arm trembled slightly.

"It seems the rumors are true, the Black Soul Staff's attacks only target souls." Fang Yu thought to himself, "If that's the case, as long as I don't get hit by the Black Soul Staff, I'll be fine."

"Send me to hell!" Huadie Zhenren roared, gripping the Hei Po stick tightly once more and smashing it towards Fang Yu.

Fang Yu retreated backward, easily dodging the attack.

"Swift as a shadow."

The next second, Fang Yu appeared behind Huadicheng, and with a kick aimed at the back of his head.

This series of moves was too swift. Huachong Zhenren couldn't react at all!

"Bang!"

Huā Diē Zhēn Rén's head let out a dull thud, and the whole person flew into the air, smashing into the wall in front of them. Stone fragments splashed everywhere.

"The power of the Black Spirit Staff is indeed formidable, but it's a pity that in your hands, it's about as useful as scrap metal." Fang Yu said calmly.

The Black Spirit Staff is called a magic weapon, but in reality it should be classified as a weapon.

The difference between a magic treasure and a weapon lies in the physical skill requirements for the user.

Magical artifacts can be easily used by any cultivator. Weapons, however, require the user to possess strength, speed, and fighting skills.

Judging from the previous round, Huadie Zhenren doesn't seem to possess sufficiently powerful martial arts skills.

"Click click click..."

A sound echoed from within the indentation in the forward wall.

The figure of Hua Diezhen struggled to get out from inside.

At this point, her entire skull was deformed.

She was breathing heavily, her left hand still gripping the Black Spirit Staff tightly, but her right hand had risen to cover her face.

A burst of light emanated, and Hua Die Zhenren's head returned to its original form.

Once again looking at Fang Yu before him, Hua Die Zhenren's eyes held only terror and resentment!

Back then, she was also a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Therefore, she had a clear understanding of the situation.

Although it was just a brief encounter, she knew deep down that no matter how powerful the Black Soul Staff was, she couldn't use it to kill Fang Yu!

Because this Fang Yu in front of her is much stronger in physical skills than she is!

And on the other hand, she is currently just a will, sustaining her existence with the willpower left from that time.

Now injured, and my willpower is depleted!

She was battered by Fang Yu several more times, her willpower nearing its limit and threatening to vanish from the world forever!

This is a result she cannot accept!

We must think of a way! We have to find a way to counter Feihu!

At this moment, Huadie realized she had forgotten Ling'er who was still in the secret room!

She spent a great deal of willpower, using the Blood Soul Searching Technique, to pinpoint Ling'er's location. Then she hired people with a hefty sum to kidnap her back here.

Just an hour ago, she finished setting up the formation!

If Fang Yu hadn't come here, she would have already started her soul reconstruction!

"Now, I can only secretly activate the formation when he's not looking... Then I'll stall for time. The moment that girl's soul is melted, I'll immediately enter that ball of soul... After that, I can complete the soul reconstruction and then enter her body... Achieving true rebirth!"

Hua Die Zhen Ren stared at Fang Yu, her mind racing.ther cultivators had just shown."...Cloudfall Continent..."Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in his gaze.The human race's lowly status in this place is inevitably linked to the Holy Institute.It...
