Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

On the opposite side, the murderous aura of Xiao and Die almost solidified into substance, and the giant swords and double hooks in their hands emitted a buzzing sound as if they were thirsty for blood, and it was obvious that they could no longer hold back.

The purple-haired boy tilted his head slightly, as if to "glance" at the emotional Li Yan and others, but his face, covered by the black belt, still showed no expression.

He just coughed twice, and the color on his face seemed to fade a little, making him look even paler.

"In that case... then, let's get started." His voice was slightly weak, yet contained an unquestionable command.

"I will obey the young master's orders!" Ye responded and stepped out of the group, his voice hoarse and enthusiastic. "The light of the black moon will shine for you!"

He raised the black bone staff in his hand high and chanted obscure ancient spells.

At the top of the staff, the dark energy suddenly erupted, transforming into a condensed spiritual light column like a black stream, which was accurately injected into the back of the purple-haired boy.

Replenished by this power, the purple-haired boy's pale face regained a hint of redness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it was still not healthy, the suffocating breath suddenly became more condensed and more terrifying!

He slowly raised his right hand and lightly clasped his index finger and thumb.

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap of fingers seemed particularly clear in this world shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

With the sound of snapping fingers——

Rumble!

Above the sky, deep within the already thick and oppressive dark clouds, came a dull roar like rolling thunder!

Then, an incomparably huge magic circle, covering the entire battlefield and with patterns of pure darkness and deathly silence, appeared out of thin air without any warning!

The void roared, and the sky and the earth lost their color!

The strange black moon hung high in the sky, replacing the original thick dark clouds and becoming the only source of light on this battlefield - if the darkness that swallowed the light could be called light.

Only the pale halo at the edge barely outlines its disturbing contours.

The moment the black moon appeared, a heavy, leaden, icy oppressive force descended upon all human monks indiscriminately.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang only felt that the circulation of spiritual energy in their bodies suddenly slowed down by three points, as if they were trapped in an invisible quagmire, and a heart-pounding sense of crisis lingered in their hearts.

They tried to move, but found that the space around them seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and they could not escape the range covered by the black moon's light.

Zheng Su counted rapidly with his fingers, his face became paler and paler, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Finally, he stopped dejectedly, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, muttering to himself:

"Ten out of ten will die, and there's no chance of survival... The hexagram indicates a situation where there's no chance of survival! This formation... completely cuts off all chances of survival!"

The crows in the sky remained expressionless, as if they had anticipated this scene.

He had noticed that the young master was concealing his aura and making secret arrangements before, but he had never expected the scale and power of this formation to be so terrifying.

Ye beside him was completely immersed in fanatical worship. As a formation master, he could appreciate the vastness and exquisiteness of this formation better than anyone else.

The look he gave the purple-haired boy was filled with endless awe and determination to follow him to the death.

The purple-haired boy hovered in the center of the formation, tapping his pale fingers lightly.

In an instant, the dark light cast by the black moon was like a living tentacle, precisely wrapping around every powerful human in the sky.

Hu Qing, Gu Yang, Li Yan, Zheng Su, Yan Bing, and even Han Ce within the light shield of the city wall!

Elder Han only felt an irresistible force coming, and the whole person was forcibly pulled out from the protection of the city wall and pulled into the air!

Surprisingly, the moonlight only bound them, without causing any direct harm or obvious weakening, as if it had merely marked them with a unique mark.

The ordinary soldiers and low-level demons below were completely ignored by the formation, as if they were just dust outside the chessboard.

Yang Li waved his hand for the last time, his movements carrying a sense of control and indifference.

hum!

All the people marked by the moonlight, including the purple-haired boy himself and Crow, had their bodies suspended uncontrollably at the same time, completely trapped in mid-air, unable to move!

Even the black moon itself seemed to be rotating a little slower. Obviously, maintaining such a large formation was a huge burden for Yang Li.

Immediately afterwards, the black moon retracted all its brilliance.

The next moment, a breath that was much heavier and more ancient than before, as if it came from the primitive times, came crashing down!

Card! Card! Card!

Countless crisscrossing lines flashing with dark golden light appeared out of thin air.

With the black moon as the center, it quickly spread in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it formed an extremely huge three-dimensional chessboard in the sky that covered the entire battlefield!

Where the lines intersect, the space is completely locked, forming independent, cage-like squares!

The moment the chessboard took shape, the restraining force on everyone suddenly disappeared and they regained their ability to move.

The purple-haired boy was suspended in the center of the chessboard. Although his face became paler due to exhaustion, his momentum reached its peak.

He looked at the miracle he had created with his own hands, and his voice, clear but with a solemn declaration, resounded through the heavens and earth:

"My name is Yang Li."

"Remember this day, the first time 'Death Chess' descends upon this world."

"I want to show all of you humans what... the true power of a formation is!"

Before he finished speaking, the huge chessboard suddenly burst into brilliant dark golden light!

The power of the formation surged, overwhelming all the powerful people present—

Hu Qing, Gu Yang, Li Yan, Zheng Su, Yan Bing, Han Ce, as well as Yang Li, Crow, Owl, Butterfly, and Night——

They are sucked into the chessboard one by one and sent to different squares!

Zheng Su only felt a flash before his eyes, and the surrounding scene had changed drastically.

Where he stood was a gravel field that stretched as far as the eye could see!

Underfoot are hard gravels of varying sizes and sharp edges.

All around were broken mountains that seemed to have been shattered by a tremendous force, leaving only debris. It was desolate and deadly, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and minerals.

He squatted down in disbelief and grabbed a handful of gravel. The cold and hard touch was extremely real.

"This... isn't an illusion? It can actually create things out of thin air and shift space?!" Even though he was knowledgeable, he was still deeply shocked by the means of this formation.

Before he could investigate further, a dark golden beam of light descended from a hundred meters away, and the burly figure of Xiao appeared with a blood-stained giant sword on his shoulder and a sinister grin on his face.

"Hey, old man!" Xiao licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "You're so unlucky to have met me, Uncle Xiao! Now, you can die in peace!"

He didn't give Zheng Su any time to think of a countermeasure. He kicked his foot hard, and the gravel exploded and flew everywhere!

The whole person was like a cannonball fired from a gun, with a brutal and domineering aura. The giant sword tore through the air, turning into a long blood-red rainbow, and chopped down towards Zheng Su's head!

Before the knife arrived, the violent wind from the knife had already pressed Zheng Su's Taoist robe tightly against his body, making his breathing difficult!
