Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 461: Hong is on the Move

This special talisman treasure, refined from a true treasure, is the only one of its kind and was bestowed by the Golden Core Elder. If the mission fails, even if they manage to save their lives, they will face severe punishment upon return.

Having paid such a price yet gaining nothing, the Elder would surely be furious. At that time, their path would be fraught with danger.

Thus, even though the situation favored them in the battle, the scarred female cultivator and her three companions did not dare to let their guard down, keeping their minds highly tense.

It was precisely because they were so focused that they did not notice Liu Yu, Tang Tianbao, and the others observing them.

Otherwise, with the spiritual perception of a peak foundation establishment stage cultivator, they would have sensed something unusual if they had stared for even a moment longer.

“Roar!!”

The Black Tiger Puppet, standing two zhang tall and four zhang long, let out a roar that echoed through the forest.

Its scarlet eyes shimmered, and as its legs slightly crouched, it was about to leap towards the four.

However, the three assisting members of the Heavenly One Sect were highly focused, always paying attention to its movements, and had a plan prepared.

“Shh!”

Just as it revealed its intention to attack, a white-clothed female cultivator shouted softly, and her long, white jade hand immediately cast out seven spell gestures.

At the feet of the Black Tiger Puppet, dozens of ice crystal-colored vines burst forth from the ground, growing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they wrapped around its two thick hind legs.

One by one, the vines climbed up, tightly binding its pillar-like hind legs.

From a distance, it looked like two ice crystal pillars, continuously spreading upwards.

“Entanglement Technique.”

Liu Yu thought to himself.

The Entanglement Technique was merely an ordinary first-stage spell, but it was quite special, as it could be used in conjunction with certain spiritual plant seeds.

Its power not only related to the cultivator's level but was also significantly influenced by the characteristics of the spiritual plant seeds.

When combined with seeds of special attributes, it could produce different effects and, if used well, could yield miraculous results at crucial moments.

For example, right now, this remarkable ice crystal vine was demonstrating good efficacy.

With an Immortal Abode backing him and a wood spiritual root as his main spiritual root, Liu Yu was very adept at wood-based spells and had prepared several spiritual plant seeds in his storage bag.

He had two or three varieties that could rival this ice crystal vine.

He was also very skilled at the Entanglement Technique.

However, in previous duels, he had never had the opportunity to use it.

“Roar!”

Wanting to leap through the forest, the Black Tiger found its hind legs firmly entangled and unable to move, its rage was palpable, and its enormous eyes glowed an even deeper red.

The third-stage puppet was extraordinary; it generally contained the essence of a second or third-stage demonic beast, granting it some instincts and allowing it to better exhibit its own strength, thus possessing basic emotions.

No matter how exquisite the Entanglement Technique was, it would at most be effective against foundation establishment level beings.

But to the third-stage Black Tiger Puppet, it was as fragile as thin paper, easily broken with a bit of force.

However, the three from the Heavenly One Sect coordinated excellently, and just as the Black Tiger Puppet was about to break free, two quicksand whirlpools had somehow appeared beneath its feet.

As a result, it instantly lost balance and couldn't find a foothold.

“Quicksand Technique!”

The coordination of the Entanglement Technique with the Quicksand Technique momentarily halted the Black Tiger Puppet's actions. After a breath, it finally managed to break free and leap away.

But its earlier intent to attack had naturally fallen through, and for the time being, it posed no threat to the four from the Heavenly One Sect.
