Chapter 277: Chapter 151: Myriad Woods Guiyuan, Endless Life

Under the blanket of his 220-zhang Divine Thought, every movement of the Ten Thousand Woods Prison, the frequency of the Spiritual Power circulating within each vine, was as clear as the lines on his palm within his Sea of Consciousness.

The Fire Element Ring at Chu Bai’s feet suddenly erupted with a dazzling crimson glow.

The Guiyuan Technique roared to life within him, and the Five Elements Circulation reached its absolute peak.

In an instant, his Spiritual Power, once as placid as water, underwent an astonishing transformation into fire. A torrid, destructive aura burst forth from his body!

Fire Step Ascension!

Chu Bai’s figure blurred, transforming into a streak of scarlet lightning.

In the instant the cage fully closed and its fang-like barbs were about to touch him, he went against the tide, advancing instead of retreating!

With his immense control over Spiritual Power, Chu Bai didn’t waste it on a wide-area explosion. Instead, he condensed all his Fire Element Spiritual Power into his palm and fingertips, forming several points of incandescent, extremely high-temperature flames.

Formless Cloud Hand!

Each of his palm strikes, though appearing gentle, precisely hit the core of the vines’ wood nature where their Qi flowed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The evil wood, originally indestructible and even capable of withstanding ordinary Earth Fire, met its natural enemy. Touched by Chu Bai’s precise strikes—which were tempered by the Earth Treasure, Mountain-Suppressing Platinum, and held the elemental advantage of the Five Elements—it instantly withered, charred, and then exploded.

"How is this possible?!" Black Sheep grunted, the taste of blood rising in his throat from the Spiritual Power backlash.

’My Secret Wood was cultivated with a hundred years of Yin Qi from a Chaotic Burial Mound specifically to counter Five Elements Fire Techniques. How could he instantly find its Qi nodes and incinerate it?’

"My turn."

Chu Bai stomped his foot, instantly activating Fire Step Ascension.

Boosted by the Fire Element Ring, he crossed dozens of zhang of ruins in a flash. His afterimage was still in its original spot when his real body appeared three feet in front of Black Sheep!

"You’re courting death! You dare engage me in close combat?!"

Black Sheep sneered, thinking he had found an opportunity to counterattack.

The Spiritual Power of his Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer instantly flooded his body. The fingernails on his withered right hand shot out three inches, transforming into a ghostly, green-scaled claw that shrieked as if tearing space itself as it clawed viciously at Chu Bai’s chest.

This was his close-combat trump card. Combined with his Wood Corrosion Spiritual Power, it was enough to rip Upper Grade Armor to shreds.

Chu Bai neither dodged nor evaded. The Hundred Battles Armor he wore flashed with a red light, instantly resonating with the Secret Technique inside his body.

Secret Technique: Iron Bone Casting Body!

A dark, heavy, black-gold luster enveloped Chu Bai’s entire body.

A deep boom, like a heavy warhammer striking a massive drum, resounded through the area.

Black Sheep’s claw, powerful enough to shatter mountains and crack stone, struck heavily against Chu Bai’s chest.

However, the strike merely left a few shallow scratches on the dark red armor; it didn’t even break through the layer of black-gold skin.

On the contrary, Black Sheep himself felt a terrifying, indestructible rebound force shoot back from his opponent’s body, which felt like it was cast from fine steel. The shock numbed half his arm, and his finger bones made a sickening crack, unable to bear the strain.

"Your body... is it a Dharma Artifact?!" Black Sheep was horrified. For a moment, he even suspected the young man before him was a mechanical puppet wearing human skin.

"It’s the weapon that will kill you."

Chu Bai’s eyes were icy. His right hand shot out like lightning, a trail of afterimages following his Formless Cloud Hand. Before the terrified Black Sheep could change his move, Chu Bai had already locked onto his twig-like wrist with perfect precision.

At the same time, the Jade Treasure Gourd at Chu Bai’s waist bloomed with a rich, verdant light.

His Spiritual Power, which had been significantly depleted from his successive attacks, was instantly replenished by the Spiritual Liquid.

Golden Eye Shattering Illusion!

Now, after Chu Bai’s breakthrough, this Magic Technique had officially entered the Microscopic level.

An intense golden light flared in Chu Bai’s eyes. His Eye Power, originally a supplementary skill, was now infused with the piercing sharpness of the Gold Element. Gold Spiritual Power gathered at his fingertips, materializing into a nearly white sword beam three feet long!

Black Sheep felt an unprecedented threat of death. He shrieked and frantically summoned a pitch-black shield.

Faced with such immense piercing power, faced with a foundation of Five Elements Perfection that had no flaws, the black shield was torn apart as if it were brittle paper.

Black Sheep screamed, desperately twisting his body and leaning back.

But Chu Bai’s Divine Thought had already locked down all his escape routes.

The golden light grazed Black Sheep’s shoulder. Although he had avoided a strike to the heart, the Geng Metal Qi Force that erupted in that instant directly ground the bones and meridians of half his shoulder into dust.

Black Sheep collapsed to the ground, vomiting mouthfuls of blood, his once-withered face now ashen.

His foundation as a cultivator at the Ninth-Layer Perfection of Qi Cultivation had been so utterly defeated by a Chu Bai who was decked out in Divine Armor and whose every move was inhumanly precise.

Chu Bai stood upon the ruins, the hem of his robe fluttering in the wind. He gave his opponent no chance to breathe.

Several deep-blue Spirit Water Needles condensed once more at his fingertips.

Within his god-like, 220-zhang Divine Thought, what little life force Black Sheep had left was already his for the taking.

On the ruins of Chaotic Bone Ridge, the cold wind grew fiercer, and the air was thick with the heavy stench of withered, scorched vegetation.

Black Sheep knelt in a crater of rubble, the wound on his left shoulder so deep the bone was visible. Geng Metal Spiritual Power ravaged his ruined meridians.

However, as a Long-Established Demon who had spent decades in the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm and walked the edge of the Great Zhou Law Net, the terror in his eyes was suddenly replaced by a resolute ferocity.

"Junior... if you want to kill me, you’re still not skilled enough!"
