Chapter 365: The Chiyou Evil Spirit Awakens, Targeting Li Wu!

Donghuang Taiyi was essentially a comparable existence to Bai Xianwu from before.

Although he later balanced the Yin energy within him using Yin-Yang techniques, compared to ordinary people, he still lacked a degree of equilibrium.

He chose to take Li Mo’s strike head-on and fully open the bronze giant door.

But the power of this strike exceeded his expectations, just like how he did not expect the bronze giant door before him to be so solid.

A strike filled with ultimate Yang energy rampaged within Donghuang Taiyi,

causing him to feel as if his entire body was being crushed by a stone mill.

His ash-gray, lifeless skin was covered in cracks, and black blood flowed out like ink.

He even spat out a mouthful of pus and blood, and the moment it splattered onto the bronze giant door, a strange scene occurred.

The complex symbols on the bronze giant door seemed to come alive in an instant, each glowing with an eerie radiance.

Immediately after, the entire cave began to tremble with a “three six three” rhythm.

It felt as if a long-sleeping fierce beast was about to awaken.

Seeing this, the expressions of the few people in the cave changed.

Everyone could understand the reason for this.

They had initially wanted to stop Donghuang Taiyi from striking this bronze giant door, but unexpectedly, he not only failed to open it but also caused it to react because of the black blood he spat out.

Seeing this, the heavily injured Donghuang Taiyi staggered back a few steps, looking up at the shaking giant door before him and laughing loudly.

“Hehe, thanks to the National Advisor! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to open this door!”

His strike sank into the sea and did not damage this solid giant door.

Yet, by an unexpected turn of events, the door was awakened by the black blood he spewed.

“Do you think you still have a life to enter?”

Li Mo’s face darkened, the innate energy still circulating within him.

Before his words fell, he was already charging toward Donghuang Taiyi.

Villains often die from talking too much.

Regardless of whether one is righteous or evil, Li Mo understood the principle of seizing the chance to take their life.

“I have roamed the world for five hundred years; how could a young brat like you kill me?”

It was no wonder Donghuang Taiyi would say such words.

Even the Chiyou evil spirit couldn’t do anything to him, and he managed to escape.

In five hundred years, he had encountered unprecedented dire situations countless times, yet each time he could turn danger into safety.

If it weren’t for the betrayal of Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess, the one surrounded here should be Li Mo!

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged blows.

Fei Yan and Li Wu hadn’t had the chance to assist yet when a clattering noise of chains accompanied by a beast-like roar came from behind the bronze giant door.

Everyone present felt a jolt, as if struck in the chest.

Even Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi simultaneously paused their actions!

The Grand Priestess’s face changed dramatically as she exclaimed, “It’s the Chiyou Evil Spirit! It’s awakened!”

The only saving grace at this moment was that the Chiyou Evil Spirit was suppressed by the Chiyou Magic Sword.

Otherwise, if the Chiyou Demon Spirit awakened, it likely would have already broken through the giant door!

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi was no longer interested in battling Li Mo.

As long as he could obtain the Chiyou Magic Sword inside, harnessing its power would make him unbeatable in the world.

Even if the Chiyou Evil Spirit returned, he was confident he could kill it!

“This world belongs to me!”

Donghuang Taiyi immediately abandoned Li Mo, turning to charge toward the slowly opening bronze giant door.

In dire situations, one’s potential is limitless.

Especially for someone like Donghuang Taiyi, who surpassed ordinary humans!

But Li Mo would not let him achieve his goal.

He followed closely behind, determined to slay him before he could reach the giant door.

The bronze stone door gradually opened, and a nauseating stench immediately assaulted their senses, filling the entire underground cave.

It smelled like a pair of socks that hadn’t been washed for years, soaked in a cesspit for two more years and then taken out.

The odor had fermented to the point of being eye-stinging.

The three women behind could hardly keep their eyes open from the stench.

They all covered their mouths and noses, feeling waves of nausea, ready to vomit.

Even Li Mo couldn’t help but pause, his brow furrowed in disgust.

However, Donghuang Taiyi, who was leading the charge, inhaled deeply as if surfacing for air after nearly drowning, finding relief in the foul air, causing his injuries to ease.

For someone like him, who was essentially undead, this noxious yin energy was the best tonic.

With each breath, the bronze giant door expanded further, enough for someone to pass through.

Donghuang Taiyi dashed toward the giant door as if he had seen dawn.

Just as he was about to step through, a loud clanking of chains echoed from within.

The sound grew increasingly closer, as if something was charging out from inside.

Donghuang Taiyi immediately felt something was amiss, a chill creeping down his back.

He hadn’t felt this kind of terror in many years.

Without a moment to lose, he dashed to the side with all his might!

Almost simultaneously, a chain the thickness of an adult’s arm shot out from the door’s crack, racing past him.

The chain was surrounded by an aura of death; not only would being struck by it mean certain death, but even just coming into contact with the thick deathly energy could kill a normal person instantly.

Everyone thought that after this chain missed, it would return to the bronze giant door.

However, to their surprise, it not only showed no intention of retracting but also sped up toward the three women.

Li Mo’s face changed drastically as he realized its intent.

The chain was not aiming to kill Donghuang Taiyi as he rushed through the door, nor anyone else.

It was trying to drag Li Wu, the prepared vessel for the Chiyou Evil Spirit, into it!

Li Wu, still reeling from the foul air, also noticed the chain rushing toward her.

She could no longer pay attention to her discomfort and hurried to evade.

But the chain, like a maggot on bone, followed her relentlessly, even faster than her unrestrained realm techniques.

Just as the chain was about to ensnare her, a flash of golden light suddenly swept past her.

With a crisp sound, the chain recoiled as if struck at its vital point.

“Thank you.”

Li Mo, who rushed over to rescue Li Wu, spoke sincerely as he sensed the golden staff in the Grand Priestess’s hand had intervened.

Given the Grand Priestess’s power, she could not stop that chain.

The issue likely lay in the staff, passed down through generations of the Loulan Grand Priestesses.

The Grand Priestess gently shook her head.

If it hadn’t been for Li Mo’s timely arrival, she might have already died at the hands of the Yin-Yang School.

As for whether Li Wu was the one who killed the previous Grand Priestess, that would have to wait until the current situation was resolved.

Just as Li Mo was about to ask Li Wu if she was injured, the Grand Priestess’s expression suddenly changed.

After scanning the cave, she exclaimed in shock, “Donghuang Taiyi is missing!”
