Chapter 526 - 359: Master Skull Smashing Makes a Clever Move, Yu Ding Suppresses the Monument to Overcome Shangyang

Before Shangyang City, it was Jade-faced Immortal Man who, with extraordinary means, reversed the adverse situation and took the upper hand, rightfully confirming his status as the Seven Evil Young Master and favored disciple of Dragon Rhino.

Unexpectedly, the situation abruptly changed when a Master Skull Smashing emerged from the Ancestor Dragon Society.

It was clear from his words that he had taken advantage of the convenient "Great Extinction Blood Soul Pearl" thrown by Jia Sanyuan to secure a Divine Treasure into his possession.

As the details of the "Demon City Incident" and "Yang Sui Uprising" spread throughout the world, now, whether they were Dictator Warlords, Evil Demon Cultivators, Righteous People, or other powers, all were aware of the existence of the Ancestor God Treasure.

Although the Mountain and River Map was lost, the news of several other treasures soon emerged.

Among them was the Nine States' Twelve Treasures, and the most renowned among this set was Yu Ding.

For this treasure was originally an Ancient Divine Artifact, an ancient Great Saint named "Yu" cast Nine Cauldrons, and later, the Ancestor Emperor swept away the wilderness, suppressed the Divine Ability and Deceitful Objects from all directions, and collected the treasures of the world to forge the "Ancestor God Forbidden Technique," protecting the common people from the ravages of transcendent and strange evils, with the nine esteemed Yu Cauldrons among them.

Now, the Forbidden Technique that had existed for over two thousand years was completely shattered, and some fragments that fell into the mundane world turned into treasures, seemingly predestined to let Yu Ding be reborn.

As a major Evil Path sect in New Moon Province, the Seven Evil Sects also heard of the existence of the Ancestor God Treasure and had exerted great effort in searching for it.

However, they could never have imagined that the ordinary-looking bronze sacrificial tripod in front of the Overlord Palace was actually that Yu Ding.

Provoked by Tao Qian, they were so infuriated that their faces twisted.

They no longer cared to maintain the Seven Saints Mysterious God Sealing Heaven Prohibition, to aid the awakening of the "Outer Realm Meat God," but recklessly acted out, attempting to seize the treasure.

"Even if this tripod cannot compare to the original, it is extraordinary. If we can obtain it, perhaps we can achieve Dao with it."

"Say that we lack virtue and fortune, ha! I don't believe it; I insist on seizing it. Brothers, let us join forces and unleash the power of the prohibition to intercept this tripod."

"Ha ha ha, excellent."

"This person is truly foolish, knowing the whereabouts of the Divine Treasure, not secretly taking it, but blatantly calling the treasure out, not knowing that the duck that hasn't reached the mouth can fly away."

...

Other than the Sunv Sect disciples, the rest of the Six Veins' Disciples of the Seven Evil Sect, filled with shared enemy and anger, banded together.

They acted simultaneously, attempting to use the power of the "Seven Saints Sealing Heaven and Confusing God Great Prohibition" to intercept the Yu Ding that was about to break through the air.

Above, Jia Sanyuan, Han Xiao, Yang Cang, and others witnessed this scene, neither stopping nor reprimanding.

Instead, as if they had received transmission from the Jade-faced Immortal Man, they nodded and unexpectedly acted in unison against Tao Qian with a tacit understanding.

They did not press forward all at once to fight or kill but each employed secretive and malevolent techniques.

First, it was the Alchemist Saint Child Han Xiao, who shook the white fan in his hand and loudly said to Tao Qian:

"Mr. Lin Daoist, I am Han Xiao of the Han Family. I respect your methods and originally wished to have a fair battle with you."

"But now, it's not possible. This Yu Ding should not fall into your hands. I have a small method here that should not harm your life, just to hinder you for a moment."

As he spoke, he reached into his robe and took out a small mirror.

He aimed it at Tao Qian from a distance, instantly capturing his form and appearance.

In the mirror, another Lin Runiu appeared, vividly lifelike, as though a living person.

Han Xiao, seeing his success, chuckled and murmured a spell, suddenly biting his tongue tip, and a mouthful of foul-smelling blood immediately sprayed onto the mirror, instantly merging with it. The blood-soaked Lin Runiu in the mirror suddenly trembled, appearing as if drunk, swaying and staring blankly.

As this scene unfolded, Chen Xiyi from the Ancestor Dragon Society immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Not good, this is the Han Family's Evil Technique 'Blood Soul Seizing Technique', targeting the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, immensely vicious and unpredictable. Brother Lin, quickly consolidate your spirit, do not let it shake your soul."

Chen Xiyi's warning was slightly late.

Before he could speak, Tao Qian's mind had already received a Record: [Suffering from the Evil Technique Blood Soul Seizing Technique... immunity granted! Backlash occurred!]

The next moment, Tao Qian showed no sign of disturbance.

But Han Xiao, who had used the Evil Technique to harm others, his face suddenly paled, and with a "bang," the mirror in his hand shattered, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

"This is impossible!"

Hearing Han Xiao's incredulous shout, Master Yuan's mocking laughter sounded in Tao Qian's mind.

"Ha ha ha...The Han Family people are really still this weak-willed."

"This family is also considered a millennium old family but specializes in curse techniques and other Evil Techniques, most adept at underhanded methods, detested by gods and ghosts, and disliked by both immortals and demons."

"This youngster thought you were a Secret of the Toad Sect; little did he know that you possess a Spirit Treasure Sublime Body, least afraid of such bewildering soul capturing spells. Unless he summons his family's ancient rare treasure 'The Book of Seven Arrows', using these small techniques will not only fail to trouble you but bring shame upon himself and add injuries."

Tao Qian had no time to respond to Master Yuan, not because he was eager to collect the treasure.

If he wished, Yu Ding could immediately burst forth Divine Light, break the blockade, and fall into his hands.

Both sides, righteous and evil, thought Lin Runiu was a highly moral man who saved many people. Holding one of the Nine States' Twelve Treasures, the "Valley God Gui," he could attract Yu Ding to acknowledge him as its master and actively come forth.

But that was only acknowledging a master, far from "refining."

If they could intercept it now, they could seize the treasure.

Tao Qian saw this point!

That's why he deliberately dallied, allowing the Six Veins' True Inheritors from the Seven Evil Sect, using the prohibition, to trap Yu Ding.

In doing so, however, he gave another treasure a chance to breathe.
