Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 55: Invisible View

The Yoderine youth, to the right of his leader, held an expression of confusion and indignation. His eyes had darted continuously around the room as well, but just like his leader, he found there was no portal here.

The boy balled up his fist in disbelief. Just how.why isn't anything here!

From his special Spirit Senses, he most definitely picked up on an overwhelming magical source of power here.

That energy signature held the exact same divinity from the portals he sensed before. Yet, no matter how many times his eyes scanned around the already damaged room, no portal like energy came up.

"This.this just wa-" Suddenly, while the boy attempted to argue back, he felt body shriveled in instinct fear.

Pain from before resurfaced intensely on his face as a temporary lack of control overtook him.

And the boy wasn't the only one who completely froze up. The leading Yoderine boy and the other boy on his left became as still as a statue. No one had the will to argue anymore.

With fear evident in his tone and his teeth clattering, the boy on the right said,

"That-that thing. it's here already!?!"

None of the boys held any hesitation in their eyes. Immediately all three of the Yoderine youths swirled whatever amount of Spirit Qi they had left.

The power they ammas wasn't a lot, but it was enough for a chance for survival!

At least the boys thought it was a chance.

'Whir!!'

Instantly biting their tongue and spurting their blood essence, tremendous waves of immense Spirit Qi spewed out of the Yoderine youth.

The power they wielded trump's Nascent Qi in every single possible way.

But the boys didn't only erupt their blood essence. Swiftly their Spatial Rings ignited. All three of the Yoderine youths had fished out long elegant looking black spears.

In their hands, the black spears continuously discharged powerful Spear Qi.

Around the Yoderine youth, beautiful black lights of Spear Qi swirled in a frenzied storm.

Darcel, Aniela, and Hao Cao admittedly got caught into this sight. They couldn't tell how powerful these three were, but they could definitely sense their overwhelming might.

Even for Darcel and Aniela, they knew if they were to go against these Yoderine youths, their chances of victory would be heavily slim.

Still, there was one other surprising thing about this moment.

Realm suppression is unavoidable for those in a lower cultivation realm facing off against someone who is only one realm higher.

Even if Darcel and Aniela could face off against peak Nascent Cores cultivators, both of them will still feel massive suppression against True Soul Core cultivators.

This is why this particular moment stood out for Darcel's team.

Darcel, Aniela, and even Hao Cao all didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure or overwhelming suppression.

If they genuinely wanted to, the trio could freely move out while invisible and still be unnoticeable.

Aniela and Hao Cao had only taken short notice of this oddity before returning their attention to the Yoderine youths. They had only found this as a neat extra ability of the talisman.

Only Darcel took the discovery differently. His eyes lit up in devious planning when he also felt his bloodline reacting strangely. It was only in small spurts, but Darcel could certainly tell power from his bloodline was slowly getting sucked into the talisman.

Still, it was only in a minuscule dosage that wouldn't overall affect his body besides worsening the aching pain.

But for the girls, this much pain is bearable, at least to him.

And it seemed it was only his bloodline reacting like this. Passing one quick glance over to Aniela sort of confirmed this theory.

Indeed, even if she has no power to spare, Aniela's base bloodstreams could've also slightly reacted.

Darcel's bloodline did it on its own without any input from him. But Aniela still acted simply the same while watching. Either way, after these Yoderine kids leave, Darcel already has great plans for their team.

Abruptly then, mere seconds after the Yoderine trio erupted their blood essence, Darcel, Aniela, and Hao Cao were all struck with a daunting dreadful feeling.

This feeling sank into the pit of their stomachs like an anchor.

It was then the trio's eyes widened while watching the Yoderine youths.

The foreboding feeling of incomparable dread.yes, it was exactly like the first time they encountered that horrifying creature!

Although, while Darcel's team could only dread the return of that monster, the Yoderine youths had to face the full brunt of that creature's spine-chilling aura.

Sharply like a hawk, the Yoderine trio snapped around to face that red, frightening creature.

They had put quite the distance between them and it, allowing for at least a couple of seconds to charge their attacks.

Fear hazed into their eyes as the Yoderine youths saw the terrifying creature crazily sprint at them.

A hair raising vague red mist surrounded the creature's body, further enhancing its frightening image.

The Yoderine youths were lucky to have even escaped thanks to their various unique artifacts and talisman from their previous encounter.

Now, at the end of their roads, they can only hope to struggle for victory!

"Crush it in one go!!" The leader boy shouted to his partners. Forcing past their pain and fears, the dazzling black spear Qi surrounding the trio had now swirled in ravage intensity.

At the tip of each of their spears, a deep rich black glow like the eternal Darkness sparked. With only meters apart from the creature, the Yoderine trio could only muster up enough Spirit Qi for one massive attack.

The air froze around them, and out blasting from their spear tips was multiple black spears made up of Spirit Qi!

It was like the floor was thrown into a night abyss as the area considerably darkened.

The Yoderine trio spear Qi attacks blasted to the creature with immense speed. Massive crashing waves of blood essence Spirit Qi aura directly clashed with the creature before their attacks had even arrived.

Yet the red creature merely licked its tongue in the face of the Yoderine trio petty attacks.

Unaffected by the Yoderine trio's powerful auras, the creature sprayed out multiple basks of putrid red fluids from its tongue.

Slighter faster than even the Yoderine trio's spear Qi attacks, the creature's red fluids violently collided against them.

'Chi, Chi, Chi, Chi!'

In utter domination, the numerous basks of putrid red fluids tore the black spear Qi attacks like shredded paper!

The Yoderine trio's eyes flashed with despair as in the back of their minds, they kind of expected this outcome.

If they were at full power, the human-like creature might have had to play its attack a bit differently. But now, critically injured and barely with any energy left, one can say the Yoderine youths were doomed from the start.

With no other options left, the Yoderine youths could only struggle to the bitter end.

Raising their black spears once again, the trio attempted to overtax their very souls!

Drawing upon desperate power from your soul was even riskier than erupting your blood essence. If one's not careful enough, they could either immediately shatter their dantian, crippling themselves or outright explode in a bloody mist from overwhelming soul powers.

However, none of the Yoderine youth had the chance to even attempt this insane move.

The human-like creature tongue freakishly blasted from its mouth like a bullet!

Like it had no limits, the creature's horrid tongue arrived nearly instantly next to the leading Yoderine youth black spear.

'Bang!'

The leading boy felt his arms quake as the creature tongue knocked his spear right out of his hands. His black spear got sent flying, drilling deeply into the sickly green wall behind them.

Before he or the other two boys had a chance to react, the creature's horrid tongue moved at blinding speeds!

The boy on the left and right also felt their arms tremble as the creature tongue violently knocked the black spears out of their hands as well.

Each of the Yoderine trios was left momentarily stunned.

Physically, the sheer force of the creature nearly caused the Yoderine trio's arm to go numb. And this lapse of judgment would be their last mistake.

The human-like creature tongue ignited in a spine-chilling red hue. Before anyone of the Yoderine youths could react, its tongue spewed out a mini red fluid rain on them!

"AH-KE-AHHH!!!"

Three blood-curdling screams echoed out in the area.

The Yoderine youths crashed to their knees as molting, scorching pain wrapped their senses.

Every drop of putrid red fluid drilled into their skins like acid.

Overwhelming berserk energy crushed down on their organs and bones, utterly destroying parts of their bodies.

Accompanying the pain on their faces, bright red hue spots had suddenly appeared there. And in a gruesome fashion, some bright red hue spots burst their faces, causing fresh blood to spew into the air.

However, amazingly enough, these Yoderine youths still didn't die.

They had still fruitlessly clung on to life as their True Soul Core bodies made them far tougher to kill than Nascent Core cultivators.

But these seconds of clinging on to life couldn't change the end result.

Through the bloody vision of the leader boy, his pupils dilated once spotting bright red claws blitzing straight at him!

At this point, the boy was utterly helpless to defend. All he could do was stare into despair as the creature claws had quickly reached him.

'Chi!'

Blood splatter on the ground once the human-like creature cores viciously tore through the leading boy heart. Even with a True Soul Core body, without a heart, it was impossible to live.

As the light left his eyes, its last sight was the red creature cruelly twitching its lips upwards in a horrifying smile.

Seeing as their leader died, the other two boys threw all caution into the wind!

"GEAA!!"

Shockingly, both boys tore through the excruciating pain and pounced towards the human-like creature. Their near-death desperate punches landed solidly on the creature's body.

But this was, of course, futile.

The creature took their blows with high stride and ease. Pulling its claw out from the leading boy's heart, the creature swiftly stabbed at the other two boys on both sides.

'Chi, Chi!'

Two more horrifying blood splatter died down the dark, sickly green floor in spine-chilling red. Just like the leader boy, the other two Yoderine youths wound up with bright red claws piercing their hearts.

Pulling its claw from their chest, the human-like creature stood up. Its eyes began to constantly dart around the vast room, seemingly looking for something.

And its eyes had only spared a passing glance at Darcel's team location.

Darcel, Aniela, and Hao Cao were legitimately slightly horrified. It was like this thing just never stopped growing!

Currently, all three of them could vaguely sense this creature had the aura of the True Soul Core realm!

Even more terrifying was that the creature aura didn't even match up to three Yoderine youths. And yet, it still managed to brutally kill the trio off.

Darcel's team watched as the creature had then proceeded to drag the Yoderine youths corpses off, not noticing them at all.

Once the creature had exited out of Darcel's team range of Spirit Sense, the trio all breathed a sigh of relief. Smienatously, their hiding talisman had also dropped once Darcel cut off his bloodline powers.

"Haa.that thing.that was-Ah!?!"

Before Aniela finished her sentence, she got Darcel and Hao Cao to quickly snap their heads towards her.

A broad smile quickly formed on Aniela's face as she finally felt something pleasant just from under her.
