Chapter 976: Chapter 28 Hear My Command

White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, the final form achieved after assembling four White Bone Heart-locking Hairpins. It inherently contains a Forbidden Technique, capable of releasing the pale and toxic White Bone Demon Fire.

Any cultivator who merely touches it will have their flesh decay, bones perforate, and their entire body reduced to ash from top to bottom; even immortals present would find it difficult to save them.

This Forbidden Technique is extremely powerful, but its flaw is that even the owner of the magic treasure cannot easily contact it, hence it can only be triggered through the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer. Wherever the hammer strikes, the demon fire follows, burning everything in its path. However, if it encounters Tribulation Thunder, which can easily destroy magic treasures, the hammer cannot be used, and naturally, the White Bone Demon Fire cannot enter the fray.

Yan Yu’s reminder provided her with this insight.

I can’t touch the White Bone Demon Fire, but my puppet might not necessarily be the same! Its limbs are made of Divine Dragon Wood, notorious for its strong resistance against such demon fire. I only need to utilize the puppet to perform the Fire Control Secret Technique, and I can dispatch and control the White Bone Demon Fire at will, aiming wherever I point!

The Fire Control Secret Technique, in the Cultivation World, is considered a trivial trick. Usually, traveling Taoists use it to deceive the public into donating money by manipulating flames into various shapes of animals for entertainment. If it encounters flames propelled by a cultivator using Taoism Method or a magic treasure, the opponent’s qi mechanism directly connects to the origin of the spell, and seizing control is practically impossible.

The essence of White Bone Demon Fire is the sealed Forbidden Technique of the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, and control naturally resides in the hands of the owner of the treasure, making manipulation straightforward. By using the puppet to perform the Fire Control Secret Technique, it’s like transferring the relay control of the Forbidden Technique to the puppet, greatly enhancing the range of attack and flexibility—even Zhao Yuanzhen couldn’t help but admire her own quick wit.

After completing the Divine Consciousness Residence, her connection with the puppet has become exceptionally close. With a slight thought, Puppet Ami immediately raised its hand, and the White Bone Demon Fire instantaneously spread from the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, casting a vast white net of fire into the air.

The unpredictable forms of Yin Wind and Deathly Thunder make them extremely difficult for the naked eye to track. Even using the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation to intercept requires precise targeting. However, the White Bone Demon Fire does not have this problem; the ghastly white flames spread extensively, hermetically sealed, waiting for the Tribulation Thunder to collide with it on its own, no brainpower necessary.

The only concern is that the rate of True Yuan depletion is slightly terrifying.

Zhao Yuanzhen’s cultivation talent is indeed excellent; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to practice Qi Refinement alongside Yan Yu for a long period without much reduction in efficiency.

I think I can handle it!

In front of the live-stream screen, Yan Yu imperceptibly shook his head.

When he suggested Zhao Yuanzhen use extensive Taoism Methods, he meant that when the heavenly tribulation thunder falls, she should launch a wave of spells, strike a batch, then send another batch, not to keep the spells running all the time waiting for the tribulation thunder to collide— the latter continuously depletes True Yuan!

You are not good at calculations and stamina endurance, and you use this True Yuan-draining method, do you think you are Xie Ruoxi?

Seeing his serious expression, Xie Ruoxi knew Zhao Sister must have made a mistake somewhere. Just as she was about to question, she heard Su Yunjin say:

“I’ve noticed one characteristic of Sister Zhao.”

“What characteristic?” asked Yan Yu.

“Her style is completely different when she’s winning versus when she’s losing.”

Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly, a sense of revelation hit him: That’s right!

The Demonic Sect Enchantress, when in a favorable position, her actions are swift as fire. She’d rather waste a bit more True Yuan to kill her enemy instantly with the fiercest attack—this is probably because she comes from the Demonic Sect, which values decisive killings.

Conversely, if by misfortune she finds herself at a disadvantage, she switches from being extremely proactive to extremely passive, barricading defensively while trying to turn the tables with various sinister and vicious tricks—a point also proven during regular practice.

This means, the reason she dares to squander True Yuan so recklessly now is that she feels her advantage is overwhelming.

“Let’s just let her continue for now,” Yan Yu sneered, “Even if we remind her now, she won’t listen. When she really suffers, she’ll naturally change her ways.”

“That won’t do!” Although Xie Ruoxi didn’t fully understand, she also sensed there was something wrong with Zhao Yuanzhen’s tactic and quickly grabbed Yan Yu’s arm, pleading, “Yan Yu, Crossing Tribulation is not a joke! What if her current mistakes accumulate and lead to a complete failure in her Crossing Tribulation, what then?”

Her concerns were not unfounded. Hence, Yan Yu had no choice but to step outside the conference room again, summoning Puppet Azhen, and instructed:

“Inform her to conserve some True Yuan and not to recklessly propel Taoism Methods, it’s too wasteful.”

“Oh.” Puppet Azhen, possessing only basic spiritual intelligence, similar to a six or seven-year-old child, although lacking any subjective intent to lie, could not relay the message exactly word-for-word, communicated with Puppet Ami, saying, “My master says, tell your master to conserve True Yuan, don’t waste it.”

Puppet Ami, similarly linked to Zhao Yuanzhen’s Divine Sense, received the message on this side, and the Enchantress instantly felt bewildered:

You asked me to use extensive Taoism Methods against tribulations, and now you’re also asking me to conserve True Yuan and not waste it, why don’t you teach me how to use extensive Taoism Methods while conserving True Yuan?

Although dissatisfied with Yan Yu’s changing orders, she ultimately trusted her husband deeply, hence she immediately stopped propelling spells, instead using the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and Xuan Guang Ruler to combat the Tribulation Thunder.
