In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 677 Transformation of Reality and Illusion

When the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was held in the hand of the Second Nascent Soul and pointed at Lei Yunzi in the sea of ​​thunder, the primordial spirit in Lei Yunzi's sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

"Not good!" Lei Yunzi's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the loss of his vital energy, he transformed himself from solid to ethereal into a bolt of lightning.

At this moment, the second Nascent Soul had already unleashed the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. The golden blade light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, shot into the sea of ​​lightning without any hindrance.

Although Lei Yunzi transformed into lightning to dodge, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife had already locked onto his primordial spirit, following closely behind like a maggot clinging to his bone.

Moreover, Lei Yunzi's cultivation level limits his ability to transform his body into lightning, but he cannot maintain this transformation for long.

In addition, due to the repeated injuries he suffered and the great loss of his essence and blood, he could fall out of the lightning state at any time. At that time, the golden blade light of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife would instantly annihilate his primordial spirit.

With life hanging by a thread, the lightning transformed from Lei Yunzi suddenly fled towards several lightning arrays.

"Thunderous Transformation!"

With a loud shout from Lei Yunzi, several lightning arrays instantly shone brightly, and countless bolts of lightning converged, forming a huge lightning vortex that engulfed the lightning that Lei Yunzi had transformed into.

The golden blade of light followed closely behind and slashed into the vortex, but it vanished without a trace, as if it had disappeared into the sea.

Lu Yuan frowned, not expecting Lei Yunzi to have such a life-saving method.

Fortunately, without the support of the lightning array, the thousands of lightning sword shadows quickly dissipated.

Before Lu Yuan could even breathe a sigh of relief, his and the second Nascent Soul's expressions changed simultaneously.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in the second Nascent Soul's hand flew out on its own, heading straight for the vortex in the sea of ​​thunder. No matter how the second Nascent Soul urged it, it had no effect.

"Could it be!" A bad feeling welled up in Lu Yuan's heart.

Lei Yunzi possesses the Five Thunder Body, granting him innate ability to control the Five Elements True Thunder. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is formed from Chaos Golden Thunder, and it might just end up being controlled by Lei Yunzi like the Thunder Control Pearl!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's main nascent soul immediately transferred its primordial spirit power to the second nascent soul. With the support of the main nascent soul, the second nascent soul's divine sense surged, and through mental connection, it firmly locked onto the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in the vortex.

Even so, he still couldn't recall it. Seeing this, Lu Yuan could only endlessly strengthen the divine soul imprint on it.

Although Lei Yunzi influenced the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife with the power of the Thunder Sea, he was only a late-stage Void Refinement Primordial Spirit after all. Surely he couldn't erase his own Integration-level Divine Soul Imprint.

Meanwhile, Lei Yunzi, amidst the sea of ​​thunder, was also filled with confusion.

His previous use of the Thunderous Transformation technique was intended to use the power of thunder to assimilate the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife seemed to resonate with the sea of ​​thunder and flew in on its own.

However, given this situation, Lei Yunzi also had a bold idea: to try to separate his divine consciousness to control the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

However, as soon as its divine sense approached, it was immediately wiped out by the powerful divine sense that Lu Yuan had attached to it.

Lei Yunzi frowned, thinking to himself that he could not give up so easily. So he once again forcibly mobilized the power of the Thunder Sea, trying to obliterate Lu Yuan's divine sense.

But what happened next left Lei Yunzi in disbelief.

Because at this moment, the several lightning arrays had also broken free from Lei Yunzi's control. Instead of responding to Lei Yunzi's spells, they began to forcibly extract Lei Yunzi's essence to maintain the operation of the arrays.

"Backlash!"

"How could this be!" Lei Yunzi was shocked.

But time did not allow him to think about the reasons, because he was already extremely weak. If the lightning array continued to drain his essence without restraint, his foundation of thousands of years of hard work would be destroyed!

"burst!"

Lei Yunzi was also decisive. He gritted his teeth, his whole body glowed with bloody light, and at the cost of losing a lot of his essence in a short period of time, he finally gained a chance to counter the formation. Then, without hesitation, he detonated several lightning formations!

With a deafening roar, several lightning arrays scattered and shattered, and the raging lightning power imprisoned within them raged like an angry dragon, distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

The giant vortex formed by the power of thunder gradually dissipated under the impact of this violent force.

Upon realizing that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife had been freed from the vortex's restraints, the second Nascent Soul easily recalled it and stored it in the gourd, while also quickly returning to its mountain giant avatar.

However, at this moment, Lei Yunzi was extremely weak due to the continuous loss of his essence, and his cultivation level had even dropped to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Seeing Lei Yunzi like a lamb to the slaughter, Lu Yuan did not take the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

“Perhaps we can talk,” Lu Yuan said coldly to Lei Yunzi.

"What's there to talk about? I'm no match for you. You can kill me if you want, but don't expect to capture me alive. At worst, I'll self-destruct, and I'll make sure you lose both your wife and your army!" Lei Yunzi snorted coldly and spoke without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded noncommittally.

After a series of exchanges, Lu Yuan realized that Lei Yunzi was definitely the kind of person who kept his word and would never give in.

"Your current condition is very dangerous. If you don't recover soon, you could fall back to the Void Refinement Realm at any time, and you might even be unable to advance any further. I won't disturb you any longer; you should try to save yourself first."

"Of course, take this time to carefully consider my proposal." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he gave Lei Yunzi a meaningful look.

"What do you mean by this? Aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to escape?" Seeing that Lu Yuan wasn't joking, Lei Yunzi's expression finally changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Since you asked that question, it means you absolutely won't be willing to leave!" Lu Yuan chuckled, and without waiting for Lei Yunzi to say anything more, he and his several avatars flew towards Bitter Spirit Island.

"you!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Lei Yunzi pondered with an uncertain expression.

After a long while, the pensive look on Lei Yunzi's face gradually faded, and after sighing, he quickly took out several brocade boxes and jade bottles from his storage bag.

Upon opening it, one finds a variety of rare pills and spiritual herbs inside. Lei Yunzi took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to swallow the pills one by one to stabilize his cultivation.

On the other side, after Lu Yuan returned to Bitter Spirit Island, he left his two avatars, Azure Phoenix and Rending Wind Beast, at the edge of the island to monitor the movements of Thunder Sea, while his main body and other avatars, such as Mountain Giant, continued to fly into a mountain range deep within the island.

After confirming that Lei Yunzi would not notice, the second nascent soul left the body once again, and summoned the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife after Lu Yuan offered up the golden gourd.

Upon careful observation, Lu Yuan indeed discovered that it was somewhat different from before, appearing to have solidified a bit.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan made a hand seal towards the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Sure enough, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife trembled slightly twice, responding to the signal.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has materialized from the void!

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up and his face lit up with joy.
