Chapter 653: Chapter 314: Full Power Unleashed—Is This a Golden Core Cultivator? (Part 3)

The scales of victory are slowly tipping towards Xu Ping.

The direction of the battle has become increasingly clear.

Ban Jing, despite being a peak Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator,

has lost his advantage after losing his divine body and being suppressed by the Dingkun Disc, rendering his Space Escape Skill useless, leaving him only to take hits passively.

Just as Xu Ping punches back the azure flying sword and the puppet seizes the dimmest moment of the spiritual shield’s light to shoot it and break it, the Sword Array shrinks to its extremity, about to complete an encirclement kill.

A sudden change occurs!

Trapped in a desperate situation, the Nascent Soul of Ban Jing, whose aura is weak and dispirited, has its eyes filled with malice, panic, and madness, all replaced by a deathly silence of absolute despair!

It’s a madness from the deepest part of the soul, willing to perish together!

"Hehehe..."

A chilling, blood-curdling laugh, like a night owl crying blood, emanates from his mouth.

The small Nascent Soul body suddenly erupts with an extremely unstable, heart-palpitating blood-red glow.

The light is eerie and blazing, carrying an air of annihilation that burns all.

The tiny cracks on his body surface begin to spread and expand like a spider web at this moment.

The whole Nascent Soul suddenly becomes like a blood-colored glaze about to shatter.

"Let’s die together, body and soul!"

Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul’s voice is hoarse and twisted, delivering a final frenzied curse.

He abandons all defense, his small body, like a burning bloody meteor, actively charges at Xu Ping.

The violent destructive energy has already reached the critical point of explosion.

"Not good!"

Xu Ping’s face changes dramatically as he fully activates his defense.

Though confident in his strong defense, he dares not be complacent in the face of a Nascent Soul’s self-destruction, which is almost like destroying heaven and earth.

At this critical moment.

"Humph!"

Accompanied by a cold snort,

A wave of exceptionally mighty space fluctuation surges from all directions, like an invisible giant hand, brutally crushing towards Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul.

Buzz.

Space suddenly freezes, and the explosive force in Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul comes to an abrupt halt, as if time itself has been forcibly frozen.

"Town!"

As Hongyi forms a seal with both hands, a mysterious chessboard appears out of thin air above Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul, like a black cloud covering the sky.

Then, on the chessboard, the node representing "Heavenly Essence" glows with a silver light, suddenly generating an irresistible terrifying suction!

"Whoosh!"

Ban Jing’s dim Nascent Soul, like being sucked by an invisible giant whale, transforms into a weak stream of light, involuntarily pulled towards the core of that celestial chessboard.

He wants to struggle, to resist, to even self-destruct at the last moment, but it’s all too late.

In the blink of an eye, that Nascent Soul completely merges into the chessboard and vanishes.

The silver runes flashing swiftly on the chessboard calm down, as if nothing has ever happened.

The whole scene falls into a somewhat eerie silence.

"Finally resolved!"

Seeing this, Xu Ping lets out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

Even though his defense is peerless, facing a peak Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator’s self-destruction is no joke.

Enduring it directly, even heavy injuries would be fortunate.

"Huff... cough cough!"

Just as Xu Ping catches his breath, a suppressed painful groan comes from the side.

Xu Ping swiftly turns his head, seeing Hongyi suddenly coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale, his aura rapidly declining.

Clearly, suppressing Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul’s self-destruction and absorbing it into the chessboard came at a great cost.

"Fellow Daoist Hong."

Xu Ping’s gaze reveals an inquiry.

"No worries."

Hongyi waves his hand, a faint trace of blood on his lips, yet he squeezes out a smile.

Though his injuries are not light, they are negligible compared to this gain.

Especially being able to capture Ban Jing’s Nascent Soul intact rather than completely destroying it, which counts as an unexpected delight.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu, we managed to resolve Ban Jing."

Hongyi steadies his breath for a moment, and as his aura stabilizes somewhat, he bows to Xu Ping.

This is not false modesty.

If carefully calculated, Xu Ping’s contribution to this battle is perhaps only slightly less than his own.

Withstanding Ban Jing’s dying counterattack, depleting his Mana, even pushing him to nearly self-destruct—even a normal Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t achieve this.

After all, a typical Nascent Soul cultivator doesn’t possess Xu Ping’s exceptionally strong physical defense and recovery abilities.

Facing Ban Jing’s desperate counterattack, they would be inevitably filled with dread, afraid to go all out.

"This was my duty, and it wasn’t done for free," Xu Ping smiles subtly, hinting at his words. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Now that Ban Jing has been completely resolved, it’s time for the other party to fulfill their promise.

The legendary Thunder Transformation Pearl that would enhance his physical body while passing through the Thunder Tribulation is the primary purpose of his involvement in this operation.

Crack!

As the two talk,

A crisp, heart-stopping sound similar to ice shattering suddenly comes from the other side of the battlefield.

Both turn their gaze simultaneously.

Upon looking, they see the Yin Spirit Corpse possessed by the Nine Nether Elder, without the support of Ban Jing’s Mana, isn’t collapsing as expected.

On the contrary, the enormous corpse compresses forcefully to human height within a few breaths, accompanied by a nerve-wracking sound of bone compression.

Although its size shrinks,

the aura it emits spontaneously erupts like an ancient volcano dormant for tens of millennia, reaching an overwhelming level.

Buzz!

An immensely vast pressure bursts forth from the Yin Spirit Corpse, sweeping in all directions!

Countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi are drawn by this pressure, rushing in to form a massive spiritual vortex centered on the Yin Spirit Corpse!

At this moment,

The aura on the Yin Spirit Corpse has already broken through to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
