Chapter 925 Seize the Opportunity
Following the principle of striking while the iron is hot, Yunxi retrieved the Soul-Gathering Mirror as soon as the Stream of Light was attacked. Then, she drew the Nine Nether Sword from the umbrella handle, infused it with lightning-type immortal energy, and with a gentle swipe, shattered the last wisp of Stream of Light. At the same time, those high-level evil cultivators and evil creatures remaining on the battlefield were also annihilated.

Yunxi cleared the entire battlefield with a single sword strike, and her strike seemed to resonate with the entire ancient battlefield, causing it to tremble as if it were happy about the appearance of its companion. The entrance to the Wuwang Ruins instantly disappeared, seemingly terrified of this power.

Yunxi quickly retrieved the Nine Nether Sword, inserted it into the umbrella handle, and swiftly suppressed her aura. The resonance disappeared after a moment, which greatly relieved Yunxi.

Yuan Shuang and Ming You tacitly refrained from asking any questions, while Su Jing immediately retrieved Su Miao's body. The four of them then disappeared from the front lines, and a whirlwind swept across the entire battlefield, reaching every corner of the ancient battlefield, seemingly celebrating the arrival of old friends.

The four who returned to the rear gathered again in the council hall with Feng Ling, Lan Yue, Chen Yebai, and Wu Wang who remained behind, but this time everyone was relatively silent.

Su Jing stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you all three for your help in reclaiming my brother's body. I am deeply grateful!"

The True Venerable of the Underworld sighed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Su, please accept our condolences. None of us wanted to see this ending. We took back Su Miao's body because we didn't want the evil spirit to fight us with the face of its former companion."

Su Jing said in a deep voice:
"I see."

Chen Yebai then reminded him:

"Fellow Daoist Su, please dispose of Su Miao's body as soon as possible. I am worried that the evil spirit may tamper with your brother's body."

Su Jing took a deep breath and said:
"I understand, I will take care of it immediately."

After saying this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and left the council chamber first.

After Su Jing left, everyone turned their attention to Yun Xi, and Wu Wang chanted a Buddhist prayer:
"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Ranxi, have you successfully broken through to the Immortal Rank?"

Yunxi knew that the result of her actions this time was that her breakthrough could no longer be hidden, so she could only nod and say:

"I received a message from True Venerable Mingyou as soon as I broke through, so I rushed to the front line immediately. Fortunately, I arrived in time. The evil soul that replaced Su Miao was a celestial-level evil cultivator, and also an old monster from the Boundless Ruins."

Upon receiving Yunxi's affirmative reply, smiles appeared on their faces; now they had a trump card.

Yuan Shuang then said thoughtfully:

"When Ranxi attacked just now, it seemed to have stirred up the power within the ancient battlefield, causing great damage to that old monster."

The True Venerable of the Underworld stroked his chin and said:
"No, it should be that when Ranxi forcibly extracted that evil soul from Su Miao's body, she was attacked by that power, and the sword strike Ranxi made just happened to become the carrier of that power, thus completely annihilating the evil soul."

Yunxi, as the person involved, naturally noticed it, and she nodded:
"Yes, I should be able to control my new power more smoothly than I have just broken through, but this sword strike was very smooth and can be described as a single, seamless movement."

Wu Wang continued:
"It seems that the power within the ancient battlefield has been fully awakened, which is why the old things in the Boundless Ruins are so wary. They will probably be attacked as soon as they appear in the ancient battlefield. Therefore, the immortal-level evil cultivators cannot leave the Boundless Ruins, not even by borrowing the bodies of cultivators from the Spirit Realm."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"This is why there are beings more powerful than us in the Boundless Ruins, yet they cannot enter the ancient battlefield. If they could enter, the Spirit Realm would have long since become the territory of evil cultivators."

Lan Yue frowned and said:

"Everyone, we probably need to prepare early. Although the power within the ancient battlefield has been fully activated, we don't know how long it will last. Especially in the last decade and this decade, very few high-level cultivators stationed on the ancient battlefield failed to break through. They were probably able to break through major realms in a short time because of the help of this power."

But in my view, no power appears out of thin air, nor is it inexhaustible. Perhaps when this power suppressing the old monsters within the Boundless Ruins weakens, that will be the time for them to storm the ancient battlefield.

Lan Yue's words hit the nail on the head, and Yun Xi nodded in agreement. She understood this point even more deeply, because flowers don't bloom for a hundred days. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will eventually wither. Just like divine soldiers and immortal generals who burn all their power, they will eventually run out of energy.

This accidental discovery revealed that this power had fully awakened, meaning their time to hold the ancient battlefield was running out. Silence fell once more in the council hall. Everyone looked at Yunxi, whose expression remained calm, knowing that their separation was drawing ever closer.

Yunxi coughed lightly and said:

"Rest assured, everyone, I will complete my mission smoothly. We have the right timing, the right place, and the right people. Now all that's left is the final blow. I will be waiting for your good news on the ancient battlefield."

The Phoenix Demon King twirled the feather fan in her hand, narrowing her phoenix eyes as she spoke:
"Ranxi, don't worry. As long as you cooperate properly, you may have a chance to escape successfully. We'll be waiting for you in the Immortal Realm then."

Yunxi smiled slightly and replied:
"Okay, I will try my best to ascend with everyone."

The situation had become clear, but the worries in everyone's hearts had only lessened somewhat. They then put away their worries and calmly returned to their respective residences.

Once only Yunxi and Mingyou remained in the council hall, the latter finally spoke:

"Can Su Mu's soul be saved?"

Because of the special nature of his cultivation technique, Mingyou was the only cultivator who noticed that the Soul-Gathering Mirror had collected a wisp of his soul.

Yunxi shook her head and said:
“His soul is tainted by evil energy. Even if he returns to his physical body, he will become a fallen cultivator. His obsession is too strong, and he is easily influenced.”

Mingyou nodded, not asking any further questions, and then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect:

"See you in the Celestial Realm."

Yunxi smiled and nodded, then slipped back to her magic room.

At this moment, the cultivators at the camp were all discussing the sword strike Yunxi had made earlier. Some of the sword cultivators even comprehended something and went into seclusion.

Inside the Ruins of Nothingness, Li Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, his bloodshot eyes staring at the entrance of the passage. His divided soul had been strangled by that female cultivator, or more precisely, obliterated by his former rival.

"What are those persistent ghosts doing, guarding this place for so many years?"

Li Ning's roar echoed throughout the entire Wuwangxu once again, but this time no one responded to him.

The Evil Lord has been submerged in the blood pool for a long time, and she is using her body to nurture new evil insects.

Li Ning grew increasingly anxious, knowing that his chances of leaving the Ruins of Nothingness were becoming increasingly slim.

Weiling Realm Buddhist Domain

Nine powerful cultivators from the Buddhist realm, including Bu Ku, Ruo Huai, and Du E, are gathered together to discuss their return to the Buddhist Kingdom.

"Amitabha! After screening, there are no evil cultivators causing trouble in the returned Buddhist kingdom, but the body of an evil god is being suppressed."

"Does Master Bu Ku mean to temporarily refrain from lifting the closure on the return region?"

"Yes!"

"Would that affect our entire realm's ascension?"

See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
