“Sword Master Lord!” the Sword Spirit stammered nervously, “This is really bad! This is a zombie puppet formed after the tribulation spirit devoured all the dissipating yuan souls of the people! One prerequisite for creating such a zombie puppet is that their cultivation level must at least be that of an intermediate celestial expert while they were alive... We’re in real trouble now; this place is actually the location of a super sect on par with the current Lingxiao Sect!”
Chu Yang’s expression turned infinitely calm as he coldly replied, “Whether it’s bad or not, we’ll only find out after a while! What’s the use of panicking now?”
The more dangerous the moment, the colder Chu Yang’s mind became.
With a shift of his gaze, Chu Yang had already assessed the current situation.
Without a doubt, there was no chance of victory!
If they were to engage in a normal battle, there wouldn't even be one round before Chu Yang and the Sword Spirit would meet their untimely demise.
From all directions, a total of seven zombies stepped forward mechanically, their weapons slowly raised.
A sharp whistling sound rose again in the air, and a gray fog suddenly swept through, swirling and coiling in the air, gradually revealing the image of an elderly man in a gray robe, with long whiskers drifting, and a gaunt face.
The sudden appearance of this elderly figure stood in the air with his hands clasped behind his back, his cold eyes fixated on Chu Yang and the Sword Spirit, with an expression of cruel excitement flickering in his gaze.
The Sword Spirit began to tremble uncontrollably, genuinely frightened. It was unthinkable that just when it had obtained the opportunity to regain its humanity, it would immediately encounter such a dire situation.
Could it be that the desire to be reborn was going against the will of heaven, not allowed by fate?!
It was utterly unexpected that this tribulation spirit was a powerful one that had never appeared in history before! It had reached the point of being almost human-like, with abilities as if it were a living being—complete wisdom, indistinguishable from life itself!
Such a tribulation spirit could completely contend with super strong beings at the sage level!
Although its strength was still only equivalent to that of a junior sage, in the context of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, it was already close to a supreme being!
Moreover, it possessed a certain ability beyond that of an ordinary sage: it was unkillable, indestructible, and almost impossible to eliminate! It wouldn't be injured or feel pain; even if its body was shattered into pieces, it could reassemble itself in the next moment!
And the might it possessed was still undiminished!
This was undoubtedly a tribulation spirit that would give even sage level experts a massive headache upon encountering it!
If that ten thousand souls spiritual body was a great tonic for the Sword Spirit, then this extremely powerful tribulation spirit was equally the best tonic for it!
In the face of such an existence, neither the Sword Spirit nor Chu Yang had any ability to retaliate!
How could the Nine Calamity Sword Master and the Nine Calamity Sword Spirit evade death in such a dire situation?!
The crisis was not just limited to that; both the Sword Spirit and Chu Yang nearly simultaneously discovered another point. The moment the tribulation spirit appeared, they were actually subjected to a strong restriction!
Indeed, it was a restriction, not suppression. If it was merely suppression, then it would mean that their movements were hindered due to being intimidated or oppressed by its cultivation level and aura, forming a specific kind of pressure. However, the current situation was entirely different.
Their bodies could still move freely, but only within a three-foot radius. While their spiritual perception and internal energy could operate independently, they were also unable to extend beyond a three-foot range. However, attempting to step outside was impossible for their physical bodies, spiritual perception, or internal energy. They couldn't even return to the nine calamity space.
