Mysterious mirror hanging high

Before the words were finished, billowing black mist rose from the starry sky ahead.

Two powerful streams of demonic energy tore through the nebula, attacking from the left and right, dimming the starlight wherever they passed.

In just a few breaths, the two figures had closed in to within a hundred feet of them.

Jing Yu stopped his escape and stood with his hands behind his back in the void. His expression was calm, and a mysterious light flickered in his eyes, indicating that he had clearly seen the newcomer.

The one blocking their way was a burly demon cultivator who was about three zhang tall.

This demon was a green ox spirit, with a bull's head and a human body, topped with a pair of curved green horns, and its large, copper-bell-sized bull eyes gleaming with ferocity.

He was clad in heavy black bronze armor, and in his hand was a giant axe that gleamed with a cold light. The blade was faintly wreathed in bloody aura, indicating that it had drunk the blood of countless living beings.

The one beside him was a horse demon with a horse's head and a human body, with a slender figure and wearing a dark green robe with scale patterns.

This demon had a long, narrow face, and its breath was accompanied by swirling dark blue mist. It held a twelve-foot-long ghost-head banner in its hands. The banner was made of an unknown cloth, on which were painted thousands of twisted souls. The mournful howls of the ghosts faintly emanated from the banner, disturbing people's minds.

"Human cultivators?" The Azure Ox Demon spoke in a deep, rumbling voice, filled with undisguised greed: "To stumble upon a lone human cultivator's grotto on the edge of this Azure Dragon Starfield is truly a divine gift!"

The horse demon's narrow eyes gleamed with a ghostly light, and the ghost banner fluttered without wind, emitting a mournful sound. It clicked its tongue and said, "Only an early stage of the Cave Heaven. What a pity. I'm afraid his Cave Heaven is still in its initial stage and hasn't evolved into a decent [Treasure Land] yet. Otherwise, if we dug out his Cave Heaven, we could sell it for a good price in the demon market."

As the two demons spoke, they already regarded Jing Yu as their own. They locked their auras firmly, and their demonic power surged like a tide, stirring up the surrounding void and forming an invisible cage.

Jing Yu glanced at the two demons and thought to himself, "This Ox-Head is at the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, while the Horse-Face is at the middle stage? Judging from the aura they released, their foundations are quite ordinary."

"Now that I have installed the golden 'Good Fortune and Avoidance of Misfortune' charm, I should be quite fortunate now, and the probability of encountering danger should be greatly reduced."

"If that's the case, yet I still encountered these two powerful demons at the Cave Heaven Realm, the only explanation is that these two demon cultivators posed no real threat to me; they could even be considered 'treasure-delivering children'," Jing Yu thought aimlessly.

The good fortune brought by the Immortal-grade [Auspiciousness and Misfortune] Life Bead should not be underestimated. Even if it only has half the effect of the original Life Bead, it is still amazing enough.

Of course, one should not rely on such a destiny excessively. If a powerful being of the Dao Lord level were to pass by at this moment and happen to be in a bad mood, and were to crush Jing Yu to death with a single finger, let alone the golden immortal-grade [Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune], even the divine-grade [Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune] would probably be of little use in the face of such a huge difference in realm.

This is what is meant by "fate cannot overcome supernatural powers".

However, when facing two demon cultivators at the Cave Heaven Realm, the effect of this destiny is not enough to cause them to fail.

At this moment, the green ox demon spewed out two puffs of white smoke from its snot and sneered, "Now that you know how powerful we are, why don't you surrender? Otherwise, I'll have to break your bones and muscles and ruin the medicinal properties!"

Jing Yu simply smiled and asked, "How shall we address you both?"

"So you can die knowing the truth," the Green Ox said. "My name is Niu Dahang, and this gentleman beside me is my sworn brother, Ma Zoutian!"

Jing Yu chuckled to herself: "The name is simple enough..."

"That's how the demon race is. In terms of heritage, they are far inferior to the human race, and naturally they don't understand elegance. How could they possibly have any nice-sounding names?"

The fairy in the pot knew its master's abilities best. At this moment, it flattered, "Master, don't kill these two demons. Leave them alive, and I can put them into the Little Demon Refining Pot, adding two more Cave Heaven Realm warriors to your ranks... Even if you don't need them, they'll be good for running errands or as mounts."

Seeing that the human cultivators in front of them ignored them, Niu Dahang and Ma Zoutian were both furious and launched an attack together.

"court death!"

Ma Zou Tian shouted, and he shook the ghost head banner. Immediately, billowing black smoke rose from the banner, and hundreds of twisted ghost shadows shrieked and pounced out. Each one was menacing and carried a sinister and evil power that corroded the soul, covering the sky and the earth.

Almost simultaneously, the Green Ox Demon swept his giant axe horizontally, and a hundred-foot-long blood-red axe beam tore through the void, carrying a savage force capable of splitting mountains and shattering peaks, and cleaved down in half!

Before the axe blade even arrived, the violent crimson aura had already caused the void to tremble and vibrate.

The two demons worked together seamlessly, one attacking the soul and the other breaking through the physical body, clearly skilled in this method.

Jing Yu neither dodged nor avoided, but simply raised her right hand and drew a line across her forehead, instantly creating a crack on her once smooth forehead.

"Certainly."

He uttered a single word, his brow furrowed and his eyes widened, from which a clear and bright [Profound Spiritual Light] suddenly emanated, causing the surrounding hundred miles of void to instantly feel as if it had sunk into a quagmire.

The ghostly figures that rushed forward all froze, their movements slowing down more than tenfold, and even the terrifying axe light lost much of its momentum.

"Imprisoning divine powers?!" Ma Zoutian's face changed drastically.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jing Yu rolled up her left sleeve, and a drop of smooth, flawless heavy water flew out from it. It grew rapidly upon contact with the wind and transformed into a surging river in the blink of an eye. This was the [One Element Heavy Water] activated by the [Law of Water].

The river surged and roared, heavy as a mountain pressing down. Wherever it passed, the ghostly figures scattered and the axe blades were shattered.

This celestial river-like stream continued its relentless flow, heading straight for Niu Dahang.

"【Fate Realm】Opens..." At this moment, Jing Yu quietly activated a new divine power, instantly enveloping the entire area.

"Hmm?" Niu Dahang wanted to dodge, but he inexplicably felt that although the power of the heavy water river in front of him was great, it was not as great as his own physical body.

Seeing that Jing Yu was struggling to recover from activating the heavy water and had exposed a major weakness, Niu Dahang gritted his teeth and thought:

"Why not risk some minor injuries, use our physical bodies to withstand this divine power, and rush over in one go to take this human brat's head?"

Then the green ox demon roared, its bronze armor emitting a green light, and it withstood the impact of the heavy water, swinging its giant axe to strike again.

But Niu Dahang clearly underestimated the power of the Heavy Water River!

The entire river crashed down on him, and Niu Dahang felt as if his internal organs were displaced. The immense force left him powerless to resist, and he was severely injured in a single exchange.

"Big ram!"

Seeing this, Ma Zoutian knew he had met a tough opponent, so he quickly bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ghost banner.

The banner was filled with ghostly energy, and a three-headed, six-armed ghost king's image materialized. Each of the six ghostly hands formed a hand seal, creating a huge Netherworld Mark. With a mournful ghostly wail, it was directly imprinted on Jing Yu's brow!

Just as Ma Zoutian spat out his essence blood and activated the Ghost King's Dharma Form, a barely perceptible fluctuation of law silently rippled out from the depths of Jing Yu's eyes once again.

This realm is formless and intangible, untouched by magical fluctuations, and does not draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It only ripples slightly in the mysterious realm of destiny.
