True Master Yin's spiritual artifacts were few in number. Having fought fiercely with the Netherfire King and later with the White Bone and Black Wind True Master, his artifacts had been severely damaged. Then, before he could catch his breath, he had been struck by a barrage from the ships of the Yellow Spring Island.
One of his lower-grade spiritual artifacts had been destroyed and the other severely damaged. He hadn't had the time to nurture them with nascent soul essence. Now, he was forced to use his finest magic treasures in a hurry. He was confident that just a brief moment of defense would allow him to take the time needed to slay this unworthy disciple!
Chu Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head. True Master Yin had reached Deity Transformation after all, he was incredibly hard to kill. Even though Chu Xuan had seized the advantage of surprise, all he had done was add a few more injuries to True Master Yin. He hadn't been able to land a fatal blow.
The depth of True Master Yin's Spiritual Qi was too great. With a sudden burst of power, he had sent the Evil Soul Chain and other magic treasures flying. Since the Evil Soul Chain was his life-bound treasure, any injury to it caused him to feel pain, and blood seeped from his mouth.
Had True Master Yin's artifacts not been so severely damaged, the tides of battle would likely have reversed by now. But besides his magic treasures and spells, Chu Xuan still had other means at his disposal.
With a wave of his hand, the Ice God Pillar exploded. Countless shards of ice filled the entire cave, swirling toward True Master Yin.
The Black Yin Pearl, floating near True Master Yin, spun rapidly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The ice shards collided with the spinning Black Yin Pearl, each one being blocked by its powerful defenses.
"This brat... when did he learn all these tricks?" True Master Yin muttered to himself, his tension easing a little, though doubt still gnawed at him. Just as he began to gather his Spiritual Qi for a retaliatory strike that he believed would end Chu Xuan's life, an overwhelming sense of danger surged through him. He wasn't one to doubt his instincts. Without hesitation, he manipulated the Black Yin Pearl, sending it spinning even faster to block any incoming attacks.
However, before he could react further, a massive invisible hand of spiritual sense suddenly slammed into his sea of consciousness. The Nascent Soul-grade spiritual sense secret technique—Sky-Tearing Cold Palm!
At that moment, excruciating pain tore through True Master Yin's mind. He felt as though his primordial spirit was being pulled apart, with two massive hands tugging it in opposite directions.
If not for his being a Deity Transformation cultivator, with his soul having already transformed into primordial spirit and his spiritual sense greatly enhanced, that blow would have likely shattered him entirely. As it stood, he was on the verge of a serious spiritual injury!
True Master Yin gritted his teeth, fighting to hold his ground against the mental onslaught.
True Master Yin let out a low grunt and immediately retreated, his mind whirling with alarm. He quickly invoked a spiritual sense technique, surrounding his primordial spirit with a thick, protective wall to resist any further spiritual attacks.
"Chen Jin could never have such a powerful spiritual sense... Who are you?!" True Master Yin growled, his voice a mix of rage and disbelief.
At that moment, everything fell into place for him. No matter how strong Chen Jin was, he couldn't have displayed such power. The Spiritual Qi, magic treasures, and especially the spiritual sense that had just assaulted him—it all far exceeded the power of most Nascent Soul cultivators, even those at the ninth level!
True Master Yin had never encountered such a formidable Nascent Soul cultivator in his life. Not even the Holy Sons cultivated by major sixth-tier sects like the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect possessed such strength!

Chu Xuan, however, remained silent. He focused his spiritual sense into a massive palm that shot forward, a technique known as the Great Devouring Palm.
Each time the palm struck, a part of True Master Yin's spiritual sense was consumed, gradually turning it into Chu Xuan's own power. With every encounter, True Master Yin could feel his spiritual sense slipping away, a sensation he had never experienced before. A technique that could steal another's spiritual sense in the midst of combat—it was utterly foreign to him.
"Damn... damn...!" True Master Yin's anger and fear grew.
He tried to regain control of the fight, but every time he attempted to use his Spiritual Qi to cast a spell, his old injuries flared up, draining his energy and distracting him. After just a few exchanges, True Master Yin noticed that his thoughts were becoming sluggish, his Spiritual Qi flow was stalling.
"Did you poison me?!" he suddenly blurted out in disbelief. He was a master of poison, a cultivator renowned for his expertise in toxins. He controlled his subordinates with poison, using it as a tool to maintain his dominance. Yet now, he was the one who had fallen victim to poison.
"I'm impressed by the expertise of a Deity Transformation cultivator in poison. I've used twenty-seven different poisons, but only three have taken effect," Chu Xuan said with a tsk, his voice filled with admiration.
True Master Yin's face turned pale.
