The fierce battle was taking a turn, and Yi Tianyun was at a disadvantage. If this continued, his defeat was almost certain. While combat power wasn't the only deciding factor in a battle, it played a crucial role.
If the gap in power was too great, the result would be an instant kill. No matter how powerful the divine skills were, they would be useless.
Yi Tianyun understood the issue, so he could only take advantage of his opponent's momentary lapse and attack furiously. However, Heavenly Venerable Killing God, being experienced, managed to block his attack despite the overwhelming force.
"With this kind of power, you still want to kill me?" Heavenly Venerable Killing God's eyes were filled with excitement. "I don't know how you have such strong power, but this only makes me more excited. After capturing you, I'll study you thoroughly to understand how you're able to unleash such power."
He flicked his hand and coldly commanded, "Venerable Spirit, go!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Venerable Spirit, who had been sent flying earlier, didn't attack Yi Tianyun but instead began to form seals in the sky. The large formation around them started to activate. As the formations unfolded, they quickly surrounded the area, creating a Sealing Formation.
The formation rapidly locked down the space, leaving Yi Tianyun with no chance of escape. As the formation closed in, Yi Tianyun felt his power being suppressed. The formation's main effect was to suppress and restrain the invader's strength.
Under this overwhelming suppression, Yi Tianyun's power was significantly reduced, from 1.5 billion Star Force to just 1.2 billion. It was as if his strength had been cut in half.
Normally, his title could weaken others, but that only applied to Heavenly Venerable power. It couldn't affect the power of this formation.
"Seal!"
The Venerable Spirit wasn't weak either; it accelerated the formation of seals with both hands. In the next moment, Yi Tianyun was completely surrounded, trapping him inside. Yi Tianyun could feel walls materializing around him, preventing him from escaping.
This sensation was familiar, it was the same as before, and escaping wasn't going to be easy. It seemed they had clear intentions to capture him alive and study his abilities to understand how he was unleashing such power.
"Think you can seal me? Too naïve!"
Yi Tianyun's figure flickered and disappeared from his original position. In the moment they were caught off guard, a sense of danger emanated from Heavenly Venerable Killing God's back. A powerful strike pierced through, hitting him directly.
"Hao Han Divine Art, Void!"
The Star Divine Spear in Yi Tianyun's hand disappeared. It didn't truly vanish, but wherever he struck, everything turned into an expanse of void, devouring everything in its path!
Heavenly Venerable Killing God instinctively tried to block, his Killing God Power enveloping him as he met Yi Tianyun's attack. However, due to the suddenness of the strike, Heavenly Venerable Killing God was caught off guard, and the power of the void surged up his arm, sweeping through his body, and sent him flying.
"Humph…"
With a muffled grunt, the armor on Heavenly Venerable Killing God cracked, especially around his torso, with black blood flowing from the wound.
"Ahh…"
Suddenly, with a painful scream, Heavenly Venerable Killing God was sent flying backward, tumbling on the ground. He clutched his head, rolling in agony as if hit by a soul attack.
"Hm? Strange, I clearly hit his body, why is his soul so heavily injured?" Yi Tianyun could see that Heavenly Venerable Killing God's soul was severely harmed. Physical injuries wouldn't cause such a reaction.
Given their cultivation levels, injuries like severed limbs wouldn't even cause a flinch, let alone cause such suffering. This kind of effect could only be from a severe soul injury.
Yet, Yi Tianyun felt his attack was blocked before reaching Heavenly Venerable Killing God's soul. It shouldn't have caused soul damage.
"You… you're using Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's martial arts, you… you're from his faction!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God struggled to get up, looking as though he had been drained. His combat power sharply plummeted. With his soul injured, even his overwhelming strength couldn't be fully utilized.
It was like having a powerful weapon but being unable to wield it, it was useless.
Now, with his soul injured, his once dominating power had dropped to 1.2 billion Star Force, lower than Yi Tianyun's by a significant amount.
"No wonder you're injured. It's the mark of Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's attack on his soul!" Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up. He had used Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's technique, which carried Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's Heavenly Venerable Power, effectively activating the attack imprint, spreading its effects!
With this effect, it was almost as though Heavenly Venerable Killing God had been struck by Heavenly Venerable Hao Han once more, causing his soul to collapse again.
Without a word, Yi Tianyun's figure flashed as he rushed toward Heavenly Venerable Killing God, taking advantage of his weakened state. If he didn't seize this opportunity, everything would be too late once Heavenly Venerable Killing God recovered.
"Die!"
Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's ultimate technique was unleashed once more, sweeping across the area with endless void that covered Heavenly Venerable Killing God.
"Hurry, stop him!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God shouted, quickly retreating. He wasn't afraid of Yi Tianyun, even if there were two of him, but he feared that Yi Tianyun would activate the attack imprint in his head!
Once fully unleashed, Yi Tianyun would be nothing but dust. But against Heavenly Venerable Hao Han's ultimate technique, he was just a mere weakling.
The Venerable Spirit quickly intercepted, trying to block Yi Tianyun.
"Get out of my way!"
Yi Tianyun roared, and the Star Divine Spear in his hand swept through, sending the Venerable Spirit flying. The overwhelming force was enough to send the Venerable Spirit flying, even though they wouldn't die, they would quickly regenerate.
However, during this process, the Venerable Spirit couldn't fight back. Seizing this moment, Yi Tianyun rushed toward Heavenly Venerable Killing God, continuing his ferocious assault.
Heavenly Venerable Killing God could only resist desperately, but this time, the result was different. In the clash, Heavenly Venerable Killing God was sent flying once more, crashing into the wall and getting slammed flat.
"Damn, damn it!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God screamed in agony, feeling humiliated to be suppressed by someone so much younger. But that was the reality. He had ended up facing the power of Heavenly Venerable Hao Han, which had kept him suppressed all this time.
He had been hiding to avoid Heavenly Venerable Hao Han, but now, a cultivator wielding his power had appeared and turned the tables on him.
With his soul severely injured, he couldn't use his previous power, and he remained in a passive state.
"It seems it's possible. I can kill Heavenly Venerable Killing God!"
Yi Tianyun's gaze turned cold. He could finally kill Heavenly Venerable Killing God, the one who had caused so much harm. His generals, who had all used similar methods of Possession, were finally getting their retribution.
