Immortal Abode longevity.
Following his gaze, he saw that the body of the ice crystal vengeful spirit had already shrunk from five hundred zhang to three hundred zhang.
Moreover, its form was no longer solid and had already begun to disperse.
Although the spiritual pressure it gave off was still unmistakably at the fifth stage, its aura was clearly very weak.
Anyone could tell at a glance that this ghost had suffered severe injuries.
Silken wisps of ghostly energy kept slipping free from the restraint of the vengeful spirit's body, dissipating directly into the air.
Clearly, its injuries were severe enough that it could no longer even hold its ghostly energy together.
Even that featureless ghost face had become extremely blurry, almost impossible to make out.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
"Injured to this extent, under normal circumstances, it should probably stop here, right?"
Liu Yu's chest heaved rapidly as he gasped for breath, and that thought flashed through his mind.
What a fierce battle.
His left arm hung limply at his side, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly miserable.
This battle had been nothing short of perilous.
Liu Yu had struck first, using the spirit treasure sword of ruin to attack twice, only then managing to heavily injure the already slightly wounded ice crystal vengeful spirit.
After that, for dozens of breaths in a row, he engaged it in close combat with blazing sun magical power imbued with the property of the Power of the Sun, fighting at extremely high intensity.
During that time, they had several narrow escapes before he finally barely managed to suppress it.
Even so, because a fifth-stage yuan ying carried a trace of immortality, it was almost impossible for him to kill it outright.
Unless he could use the sword of ruin once more.
But the spiritual power stored in the sword had already been exhausted in advance, and it had to enter the Immortal Abode again to be replenished. Clearly, it was impossible to use it again now.
If his physical body entered the world of the Immortal Abode, his greatest secret might be exposed. If only his primordial spirit entered, it would leave behind a fatal flaw.
In high-level duels of magic, even a tiny fraction of a moment was crucial, so Liu Yu could not take such a risk.
Reaching this point was enough. He had severely injured the ice crystal vengeful spirit so that it could not leave this place.
He had obtained two drops of prime energy on this trip, along with many spiritual objects. As long as he could leave Radiant Night Cave Heaven safely, that would be the greatest victory for him.
If he insisted on killing the ice crystal vengeful spirit, it might trigger its desperate counterattack and bring about unpredictable consequences. Clearly, that was not a wise choice.
Facing a fifth-stage vengeful spirit alone, even if it were one of the three great true lords or the five great demonic kings, they would likely already have fallen by now.
If it kept clinging to them, even the strongest black flood dragon king would not be able to hold out for long.
Thinking back on that fierce battle, Liu Yu even felt a little lingering fear.
It was only because he had the spirit treasure sword of ruin in hand that he could strike first and heavily wound the ice crystal vengeful spirit.
That caused its later combat strength to drop drastically.
Even so, the several primordial spirit attacks that came afterward still left Liu Yu dazed and almost cost him his life.
Although his range of spiritual consciousness had reached twelve hundred li, and the strength of his primordial spirit far surpassed all true lords and demonic kings, he still could not avoid being affected. Several times, he only regained clarity at the last possible moment.
His left arm, nearly severed at the root, had been injured during one of the ice crystal vengeful spirit's primordial spirit assaults, which was like a furious roar.
From fourth stage to fifth stage, the yuan ying sublimated into a primordial spirit, and spiritual consciousness also transformed into divine thought.
