Chapter 2795: The Variable
th, you'd probably only be able to force it out of your body after reaching the Golden Core Stage. However, I have heard of a kind of spirit creature that has some effect against the damage caused by...Duàn Bì and Gǒu Qián ventured deep into the core of the Bagua Secret Realm together. Along the way, they frequently encountered violent thunder domains or extremely lethal cold currents. Such a place was also a forbidden zone for cultivators at the He Tí stage. As for those who had reached the Dàchēng stage, there were few dangers in this realm that could pose a threat to them.
After much effort and overcoming numerous obstacles, the power of thunder and frigid air grew increasingly intense. The severed arm suddenly froze in mid-air. From afar, within a flash of lightning, a woman with a scar across her face glared coldly at the severed arm.
"Here come two more to die."
"Everyone talks big, thinking they can kill me and Gou Dao together What a naive dream."
With a cold snort, the scarred woman hid within the lightning, making it impossible to discern her cultivation level. To think she could take on him and Gou Qian with her own power was nothing short of delusional. Above the Great Accomplishment Realm, both Duan Bi and the Lotus Avatar had encountered their most formidable opponent – the liquid giant behind the Sword Embryo. Even with that kind of strength, he couldn't easily slay them both.

"Is that so" The scarred woman roared, her withered finger extending forward and grasping at empty air. In an instant, the surrounding lightning coalesced into whips, forming five massive thunder whips centered on her five fingers, which lashed towards Broken Arm and Gou Qian, ready to kill them.
A trace of doubt flashed in the one-armed man's mind. Although the scar-faced woman was obscured by the thunderous light, he couldn't tell if she was real or an illusion. But once she made a move, her aura seemed extremely ferocious and fierce, yet in the one-armed man's eyes, it felt somewhat like empty boasting. Perhaps her strength wasn't weak, at most she could fight him or Gou Qian on par, but winning wouldn't be easy. With this level of power, how could she have inflicted such severe injuries on You Tiankun

Right now, controlling the severed arm is merely one of Lu Xiaitian's deputy avatars. There are still three other deputy avatars within the severed limb. These four deputy avatars combined have already surpassed an ordinary Mahayana cultivator by a considerable margin. Even though the scarred woman disguised herself extremely well, it couldn't escape the divine awareness of the severed arm.
Given this woman's capabilities, to attempt attacking both of them simultaneously is simply inconceivable. Something is amiss here; there must be a hidden motive. Duan Bi's vigilance against Zhou has also reached a new level.
The thunderbolt whip, which was originally quite powerful, was crushed with ease by the severed arm. However, at the same time, five ferocious ice pythons suddenly sprang up from the icy mist below, biting towards the severed arm.
A gigantic barrier woven from lightning and icy breath descended from above. Even with his premonition of something amiss here, having lost an arm, he was caught off guard by the sudden attack and couldn't fully evade it. With a buzzing sound, the barrier engulfed him.

With a flick of his severed arm, several needles of Xuanhuo flew towards the gaping maw of the ice python.
Whoosh! A thick bolt of lightning from the head-mounted thunder barrier struck down, twisting like a serpent. It intertwined with the five ice pythons on the ground, their movements perfectly synchronized.
The remaining Xuanhuo flying needles shot out between severed arms, clashing with the ice python amidst the thunderous and lightning-infused slaughter. For a moment, the electric current surged like dragons and snakes, scattering frost and flames in all directions.
The figure of the scar-faced woman in front gradually disappeared, but Gou Qian's face behind her wore a smug smile.
“I never thought the renowned Duke Lu Dan would be like this.” Gou Qian laughed heartily from behind.
“To invoke the power of this ice lightning for one's own use, and to activate such a powerful array so quickly – such means are beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators of thunder techniques and ice-attribute divine abilities, even those at the Great Ascension stage. Could it be that you are also a celestial spirit of the Boundary Heaven Stone” the broken-armed man probed cautiously.
Along the way, he had slain quite a few boundary spirits, mostly of the Ice Fox Old Demon level. Their strength varied, but wasn't too different. But to say that a Mahayana cultivator was controlled by the Boundary Heaven Stone and became a boundary spirit was somewhat terrifying.
"A spirit being Perhaps, perhaps not. I'm not even sure myself." Gou Qian's eyes flashed with a moment of bewilderment.
“It seems that the scarred woman and you are one and the same. You also injured the Yu Tian Kun Shark.” While defending against the attacks within the barrier, Duan Bi spoke, probing Gou Qian for information. To him, this man was full of mysteries. It would be best to try and glean some truth from their conversation.
"Lu Danwang seems to want to play dumb, but this old man doesn't want to waste too many words on a dying man." Gou Qian had no intention of explaining anything to the one-armed man.

“Who will die, it is still unknown. Don’t get too excited, my friend.” Duan Bi, though having lost his arm, refused to yield.
“Is that so, a stubborn duck refusing to admit defeat.” Gou Qian reached out his hand, and the thunder barrier in the void fell like the sky collapsing.
Lightning raged, and ice pythons danced wildly. The lightning barrier pressed down like a giant seal towards his arm.
The severed hand gently lifts, with surrounding dark fire madly surging, enveloping the limb and forming a gigantic flame hand that rises towards the void.
With a rumble, the barrier and flaming giant hand collided. The entire barrier trembled.
And that lightning tentacle, ice python and Xuan Huo flying needles were killing each other into a mess, for a moment it was hard to tell who was winning.
Hiss... The ice mist below churned, forming more ice serpents. These serpents slithered and charged toward the severed arm in the void.
In the sea of fire, giant pillars rose up. These flames intertwined, forming walls of flame that quickly turned into a massive ruin. The ice pythons manifesting within the surging icy mist were helpless against this sight. Conversely, under the scorching heat of the 無相玄火 (wú xiāng xuán huǒ), the ice pythons hissed and crackled before exploding into tiny shards of ice scattering across the ground.
In the void, muffled thunder rolled. The lightning barrier, held aloft by the fire giant's hand, was continually pushed upward. Gou Qian's face changed color; he hadn't expected that mere severed limb to be so ferocious, its power even surpassing the formation's strength. What was even more hateful was that his surprise attack had been directly seen through. This severed arm was far more alert than that fellow You Tian Kun Shark.
“As expected of King Lu Dan, even a mere arm possesses such power. This old man wants to see how long you can last under this formation’s power. Even if you manage to break out by some stroke of luck later on, this old man will be able to deal with you with ease.” Gou Qian sneered.
The lightning barrier conjured by this formation was truly formidable. Although Duànbì had not fallen behind, wanting to completely shatter it in a short time was impossible. However, Duànbì's heart held no fear. If Gōuqián succeeded with his surprise attack, his current situation would be extremely difficult. Perhaps he would be like the Yóutiān kūnpéng, gravely injured after being ambushed, or even killed by its cunning strike.
Sadly, Gou Qian was cunning and brilliant, but he hadn't anticipated Duan Bi's deep suspicion of him. Furthermore, Lu Xia Tian's several deputy avatars united together, their ability to sense danger surpassed Gou Qian's expectations.
This turned the original surprise attack into a full-frontal assault. Furthermore, this severed arm's skill in formations was clearly extraordinary. The rising sea of flames, with the flames of Xuanhuo swirling within, greatly suppressed the thunderous barrier falling from above.
However, with Gou Qian personally controlling this Ice Thunder Formation and him restraining them from the side, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens for these arms to break free.
