Chapter 1495: Bitter Struggle
returned to his cave abode, it was already night.Stars are twinkling.He tirelessly practiced the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique. Just after midnight, Qin Sang let out a soft whistle. A series...The glazed porcelain tightly closed her eyes.
Tong Lingyu judged that Liuli could influence Yin Changsheng's control over the Four-Winged Serpent Seal, but it was just a guess, she couldn't give more advice, Liuli could only rely on herself to explore.
>
In a flash, Liuli activated the Tongbao Jue. She truly felt the connection between herself and the Lingbao.
This feeling was several times clearer than it was before she perfected her Ice Soul Divine Light!
Ice Soul Divine Light, one of the top divine abilities of the Ice Path.
The Four-Multiplying Teng Snake Seal is also a type of spiritual treasure.
Deep within, Liuli seemed to sense a surge of excitement within the Lingbao.
This is the time.
The body of the Four-Armed Serpent Seal vanished from everyone's sight.
Instead, a faint azure light enveloped the area above.
At this moment, the Thirteen Frost Mirrors of the Falling Soul Divine Restriction were completely obscured by the brilliance of the Four-Serpent Mark.
The ethereal blue light fluctuated unpredictably, wavering and shimmering like flames dancing above a fire sea. Its mesmerizing movements evoked a sense of dreamy enchantment.
To the naked eye, it resembles a beautiful cluster of cold flames, extremely pure and mesmerizing.
Beauty hides a deadly trap.
The hiss of Tengshe came from within the cold flames, rising and falling, a piercingly sharp sound like that of a true ancient divine beast, echoing through countless years, piercing into their hearts.
Hearing this sound would evoke an instinctual fear.
Within the layers of icy flames, a gigantic figure periodically appeared. Sometimes it was a long tail covered in scales, sometimes a massive head emerged, with copper-bell like giant eyes glaring menacingly.

The Teng She slithered within the cold flames, never staying long. Each time it appeared only a fleeting moment before disappearing back into the depths of the cold fire.
A fleeting glance can amplify the opponent's fear even more.
In some legends, the Tengshe is revered as the fire god.
Although this is not a spirit fire, nor a true glacial flame, but an illusion formed by the intense cold to the extreme, the Teng Snake is also a spiritual treasure transformed.
But such a scene and legend are no longer much different.
Lingbao's power is evident!
Under the influence of the cold flames, the entire cave was extremely cold. The cold air turned into a tangible substance, and the cave was a blinding white expanse.
Strangely enough, the Yin Blood Pool showed no signs of freezing. The blood in the pool was even more vibrant, and the red streaks were spreading faster and faster.
...hisssss...
With a roar that grew increasingly urgent.
Qin Sang's expression was extremely serious.
A sword ray leaped from between his fingers.
The golden sword flew out from the Qianjun Seal, its blade flashing as it hovered above Qin Sang's head, pointing towards Yin Changsheng. It seemed to feel the pressure emanating from the spirit treasure, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a series of ringing sounds.
Qin Sang glanced at Liuli beside him with his peripheral vision. He saw that her eyes were tightly closed, focusing on driving the Tong Bao Jue to manipulate the spirit treasure, even the Bing Po Divine Light was put away. She probably couldn't spare any attention for a while.
He knew too little about Lingbao, and he wasn't sure what to expect. He had no idea how long it would take Liuli to prepare or what kind of impact it would have on Yin Changsheng.
Just then.
A piercing shriek echoed through the air, and there was more than one!
At the same time, the cold flame crazily condensed inwards, revealing two long, snake-like shadows.
Two Tengshe intertwined, their fierce eyes flickering with cold flames, murderous intent palpable as they stared at Qin Sang. Bathed in the cold flames, they used them as wings, their slender bodies moving suddenly and violently.
"Wow!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A biting cold wind blew in your face.
A cold wind slammed into the cave walls, producing a 'bang bang' sound. The walls were instantly covered in frost, glistening like ice crystals.
In an instant, the two figures of Tengshe vanished into thin air.
Through the Eye of Heaven, Qin Sang saw the phantom of the serpent Tengshe moving through fire, rushing toward him at an astonishing speed.

Each Teng Snake was smaller than the size of a Ling Yu when being commanded by a child, yet Qin Sang felt a strong sense of danger.
"Two!"
Qin Sang's pupils constricted, her eyes heavy with seriousness.
He had a premonition that if he used the Seven Souls Killing Array to forcefully resist, even if he could save his own life, Liuli would surely die.
Act decisively!
Behind Qin Sang, a flash of lightning appeared, his phoenix wings unfurled, and his arms quickly encircled Liuli's willow waist. He had no time to feel the softness, his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly dashed out.
At the moment Qin Sang cast the Thunder Escape technique.
The void twisted for a moment, and two heads of serpents burst forth, their mouths full of fangs.
A moment of crisis.
Her glazed eyelids twitched slightly.
>
One of the Teng snakes suddenly had a glimmer of confusion in its eyes. Its head stiffened slightly, and its movements became half a beat slower.
However, another Teng Snake remained unaffected, with a ferocious and menacing appearance. It opened its bloody maw wide and fiercely charged towards Qin Sang, who had vanished in a flash of light.
>
'Bang!'
'Click!'
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the sky.
The next moment, Qin Sang's figure appeared on the other side of the cave. His feet landed on the ground, his figure staggering slightly, nearly bumping into the stone wall.
His face was pale, his eyes filled with a hint of terror, as he glanced at the protective shield surrounding him. Just being grazed by the Teng Snake's strike, the Reichi Pearl's barrier had already developed cracks.
"Hehe, not bad for an escape technique..."
A sneer came from within the ice coffin.
Though he missed his strike, Yin Changsheng was not angered by it. Instead, there was a playful sense of amusement in his tone as if enjoying the challenge.
At this time, Qin Sang was finally able to be certain that Yin Changsheng had definitely been corrupted by demonic arts.
Such a powerful figure would not have such thoughts at this critical juncture where his plan is about to succeed, and he wouldn't display them so obviously.
However, this is not enough to improve their current situation.
"Whew!"
Qin Sang felt a chill run down his spine as he saw two figures of Teng snakes materialize out of thin air, flanking them on either side and blocking their retreat.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A frigid wind howled through the cavern.
Two Tengshe serpents glared with menacing intent, their icy flames surging, an endless chill converging on Qin Sang's location.
A kind of invisible pressure enveloped the whole body.
Qin Sang secretly thought things were bad, his face changed drastically, just about to make a move.
Just then, one of the Tengshe suddenly reared its head, let out a piercing shriek, and convulsed its entire body, falling into a daze.
"It worked!"
Qin Sang's heart leaped with joy. Looking down, he saw Liuli's face flushed and her breath coming in short gasps. Without hesitation, he immediately took Liuli and fled far away.
"Die!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yin Changsheng tried it, but he couldn't immediately dispel Liuli's interference. He immediately activated another Tengshe to chase after her.
Influenced by Liuli, the power of the Four-Headed Serpent Seal was greatly reduced, but it was still astonishing.
At the same time, Qin Sang discovered another problem. As time passed, under the influence of Lingbao, the temperature in the earth cave continued to drop, and the void seemed to be frozen.
If it weren't for Liuli's help, I would have been frozen solid in no time, severely restricted by the ice!
'Sizzle...'
The hissing of a giant serpent came from behind.
>
Qin Sang didn't have time to think further and silently urged the sword technique.
Here is the translated text:

The golden sinking sword trembled, its blade flipping upside down as a streak of sword light slashed out swiftly. At the same time, the golden sinking sword split into thousands, glittering like stars, before vanishing again, leaving the Seven Souls Killing Formation to reappear.
At this moment, this illusionary realm is vastly different from elsewhere.
The biting cold was dispelled by the sword formation, turning into a dim, shadowy expanse. Invisible sword strands danced and surged towards the shedding serpent at high speed.
‘Bang!’ Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
That sword light was shattered on the spot.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The Tengshe roared and charged out, smashing straight into the sword formation with unwavering precision.
In an instant, the sword formation and the power of the spiritual treasures collided with a deafening roar.
A myriad of sword threads, endless and dense, formed into countless sword nets, extremely sharp and swift, strangling the serpent.
The Teng Snake remained ferocious, showing no fear. Its body merged with the cold flames, surging forward in layers upon layers, each net of swords vanishing within the icy blaze.
The aftershocks rippled outwards, striking the ancient prohibition.
The earth shook violently.
>
Qin Sang stopped the Thunder Escape, staring intently at the center of the collision. He calmed the rapid breathing in his chest, not daring to hesitate, and with all his might urged on the sword array.
Facing such a terrifying impact, the sword array was shaky and on the verge of collapse, but it did not completely crumble.
Although the Seven Souls Killing Formation is no match for the Four-Headed Flying Serpent Seal, it still has some resistance!
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The Teng Snake, blocked by the Killing Formation, let out a furious roar.
>
It suddenly stopped its attack, its head rising high, its giant eyes blazing with fury, fixated on Qin Sang. Its mouth opened wide, and cold flames gathered in its maw.
>
Seeing this, Qin Sang's heart pounded with alarm.
The actions of the Tengshe were incredibly swift. A giant fireball quickly formed in its mouth as cold flames condensed together. Its body dissipated with the wind, merging with the cold flames, and shot out with a roar!
"Zzzap!"
The ball of cold flame rushed directly into the Seven Souls Killing Formation.
A sword strand touching the cold flame would instantly melt.
This is just a test!
An astonishing scene unfolded. Han Yan actually forced a path open within the sword formation and charged toward Qin Sang at high speed. Fortunately, the sword formation wasn't entirely powerless; it weakened Han Yan's power and slowed its advance.
Qin Sang, without hesitation, embraced Liuli and darted away from the spot.
'Boom!'
A cold fog rises.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The earth dragon rolled over, and the underground cavern shook violently.
The ground was directly blasted by the icy flames into a deep pit, covered with thick ice. The scattered icy flames converged in the pit at a visible speed, forming the outline of a Tengshe.
Qin Sang appeared in the distance.
The golden sword closely followed its master.
Though its form remained intact, Qin Sang took a deep breath and once again deployed his sword formation, standing ready in defense.
If Liuli can keep restraining Lingbao, I could indeed hold on.
Qin Sang thought to himself.
Liuli's breath grew increasingly rapid, but her zhen yuan consumption wasn't that severe. It was hard to tell Liuli's true state. Her struggle with Yin Changsheng for the spiritual treasure seemed like a battle on another level.
But I wonder, facing an opponent two realms above her, how long can Liuli maintain herself
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Tengshe arrived again.
Qin Sang skillfully wielded his sword formation, entwining with the Teng Snake as they circled the grotto.
>
Seeing that he couldn't subdue Qin Sang in a short time, Yin Changsheng finally grew impatient and let out a snort of anger.
A seemingly ordinary hum, when heard by Qin Sang, was akin to a thunderbolt, causing his expression to change.
He faintly felt a strange sense of danger. Without any hesitation, his divine consciousness shot out at lightning speed, forming a thick barrier of divine consciousness in front of the glazed body.
>
At the moment of the barrier's formation.
Before Liuli, the void twisted and warped, conjuring a transparent, pointed cone out of thin air.
The fluctuation emanating from the sharp cone was unlike any other martial arts or supernatural powers. It was purely a wave of divine consciousness, arriving in an instant, intangible and formless, leaving one helpless to defend against it.
If Qin Sang had not reacted quickly, Liuli's primordial spirit would have been severely injured at this time.
“Psychic Attack Technique!”
Qin Sang's eyes flashed with a gleam.
His spiritual awareness far surpassed that of his fellow cultivators, but unfortunately, he lacked this type of secret art and couldn't unleash a crushing effect. If he created it himself, without even a reference, it would inevitably consume enormous energy and time.
Late Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed rarely weak, and Yin Changsheng was equally skilled in divine sense secret arts.
Luckily, Qin Sang had anticipated this. While employing the Sword Array of the Imperial Guard, he always kept a close eye on Liuli.
He knew Liuli was the key, and Yin Changsheng definitely wouldn't let her go.
The sharp cone was blocked by Qin Sang's divine sense barrier.
Qin Sang hugged Liuli and flew back.
Strangely enough, no pain came from the divine sense. While Qin Sang's divine sense was not weak, this simple and crude defensive method was definitely inferior to Yin Changsheng's divine sense secret art.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
A transparent, fine needle suddenly appeared at Qin Sang's brow, flashing before disappearing.
Yin Changsheng's true target was actually Qin Sang!
However, if Qin Sang chooses not to protect Liuli, Jianqiong will also seize the opportunity to turn virtual into real and severely injure Liuli. No matter what Qin Sang does, someone must be injured.
‘Bang!’
Qin Sang's figure flickered, a muffled grunt escaped his lips. Bloodshot appeared around his seven orifices, his eyes were blood-red, and his breathing became rapid.
Of course, this was Qin Sang deliberately disguising himself.
Even if Yin Changsheng's divine consciousness secret arts were exceptionally powerful, they wouldn't be able to harm his primordial spirit.
Qin Sang has been practicing cultivation for so long that he is already extremely skilled at this, his acting skills are superb.
The Jade Buddha must absolutely not be exposed; it could very well be the key to turning the tide.
With this idea in mind, Qin Sang had been doing his best to persevere from beginning to end. Several times, he was in danger and almost sacrificed his avatar and the Sun God Tree, but he endured it with all his might.
Because the pressure brought by Yin Changsheng was too great, he couldn't find an opportunity to fight back!
In the course of their interaction.
Qin Sang used his two minds to work together, joining forces with Tianmu Die to observe the ancient ban.
Of course, what he desired most was to leave the Cavern of Secrets. But after analyzing it, he discovered that not only was the top of the cavern sealed by ancient prohibitions, but there were also thirteen Ice Mirrors transformed from phantom gods of Falling Abyss guarding it.
Dual disability.
Yin Changsheng would certainly frantically stop them from leaving, and Qin Sang could only break through one layer at most. After that, he would fall into a passive position.
For now, the best course of action is to follow Tong Lingyu's advice and try our best to delay things. However, Yin Changsheng is too unpredictable, and Qin Sang is worried that there will be other unforeseen variables.
Either Yin Changsheng takes his own life from the pool of dark blood or strikes at himself, Yin Changsheng's unstable heart will lead him to destroy the pool of dark blood and shatter his hopes of becoming a Divine Transformation. He would go mad with revenge, becoming even more dangerous, but it would also expose his weakness.
But such opportunities are not so easy to come by.
Yin Changsheng never left the pool of blood stained by Yin.
The figures of Tong Lingyu and Luo Yun had already disappeared.
The ice platform dragged them down, sinking into the pool of blood together. What happened to them in the end is unknown.
Qin Sang noticed that even with such fierce fighting, the blood in the Luyin Blood Pool remained undisturbed. There must be some power protecting the pool.
Qin Sang looked around, but he couldn't find any obvious defensive spirit formations.
He sensed something, the aura of the Yin Blood Pool seemed directly connected to Yin Changsheng himself. If he was indeed the "array eye," things were going to be troublesome.
‘Scratch scratch scratch’
Qin Sang retreated step by step.
The golden sword trembled, and the sword array revealed a flaw.
Qin Sang's eyes were wide open, as if with his sheer willpower, he was resisting the effects of his damaged soul and desperately trying to maintain the sword formation from collapsing, blocking the onslaught of the rapid-striking Teng Snake.
Yin Changsheng did not doubt him and laughed heartily.
He took advantage of Qin Sang's sword formation and suddenly attacked, luring Qin Sang to divide his attention to protect Liuli. He didn't think he had any chance of failure.
