Chapter 1391: Black Yin Pearl's Initial Form

The torrential flame surged forth like an unstoppable current, unleashing a sense of suppression that could cause fear in anyone's heart. When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the incoming flame energy, he could feel that his black yin magnetic energy had been restrained somewhat. Even so, he was still confident that the chaotic force within the black yin magnetic field could extinguish the torrent of flame.

Two energies, one yin and one yang, clashed. They caused the weather to change and space to collapse. Energies of two different elements rippled out in all directions like blooming fireworks, a mesmerizing sight that was endlessly fatal.

In the collision, Xiang Shaoyun's black yin magnetic field held the upper hand, as all the chaotic currents were destroyed upon entering the field. However, the magnetic field was also greatly weakened after the collision.

The surrounding Saints finally found a chance to make a move. So long as the magnetic field was destroyed, couldn't they easily kill him?

Instead of being disheartened, a smile formed on Xiang Shaoyun's face. Nobody knew what he was thinking. He charged toward Lu Wang, still carrying the magnetic field around him. He reduced the range of the magnetic field, successfully maintaining the field's terrifying prowess.

Lu Wang had just exhausted all his strength. He had thought that his opponent would be defeated by that one attack, but since his opponent could still come after him, he was forced to activate the cauldron once again. The pattern on the cauldron reformed, and a burning fireball appeared in the cauldron. This time, the power of extreme yang within the cauldron was even denser than before. With a ferocious look, he roared, "Skysoar Flamecloud, exterminate the devil!"

Instantly, a raging cloud of flame surged out. The sky was burned, and the massive cloud of flame swallowed Xiang Shaoyun. And thus, the black yin magnetic field clashed against the cloud of flame. Numerous sounds of explosion rumbled out as the powers of yin and yang clashed again. Even the sky trembled as though it was about to fall at any time.

Lu Wang squeezed out every bit of flame energy he had, trying to defeat Xiang Shaoyun's black yin magnetic energy. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he mustered all the black yin magnetic energy he had. Under the raging flame, the black yin magnetic energy finally changed. It condensed into an ash-gray pearl while the surrounding black yin magnetic energy all gathered inside it.

Nobody saw that, as everything happened within the cloud of flame. Submerged in the cloud of flame, Xiang Shaoyun appeared unharmed. A human skin had been draped over his body unknowingly, fully protecting him from the raging flame around him.

With his own eyes, he witnessed the ash-gray pearl's formation. Joy covered his face as he said, "A black yin pearl has indeed been formed!"

Previously in the cave when he was comprehending the black yin magnetic energy, he could sense that the black yin magnetic energy was undergoing some sort of change. It wouldn't have erupted and revealed itself to the world otherwise. The so-called change was a process of assuming a corporeal form, or a natural bizarre pearl, to be precise.

Any natural bizarre pearl would take countless years to take form. As for the black yin pearl, it initially required even more time to take form. However, after Xiang Shaoyun gained control over it, he started using it against the various Saints, helping the black yin magnetic energy undergo tempering.

Additionally, he had continuously injected his will into the black yin magnetic energy and gained control over the magnetic field. Finally, he had borrowed the raging flame to compress the black yin magnetic energy's essence, forming an ash-gray pearl. However, this pearl was merely the initial form of the black yin pearl. It still needed more time and tempering to become a perfect black yin pearl.

The moment the black yin pearl took form, Xiang Shaoyun withdrew it into his astral cosmos sea. The moment the black yin pearl was perfected, it would be as valuable as a god-grade treasure. Naturally, his ultimate goal was to refine the pearl and make it a part of his strength. But he had to first recover his astral energy cultivation before he could do so.

He was confident he could regain his astral energy cultivation, turn his nine shattered stars into one, and form the true inception energy. Additionally, he also hoped that he could get his hands on a pearl of extreme yang. That way, he could form a power of yin and yang by utilizing the two pearls and go further in the dao of time. Perhaps at that time, he would be able to control time for real and inverse yin and yang.

Who would have guessed that Xiang Shaoyun would plan so far ahead? Even now, he was still in a dangerous situation. When the surrounding Saints sensed the disappearance of the black yin magnetic energy, they believed that Lu Wang's flame had fully restrained Xiang Shaoyun. They all rushed over and worked together to seal the space, not giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to escape.

On the lotus chariot, Beiming Tianpeng watched as everything unfolded. He had an odd feeling that the devil had been defeated way too quickly. After all, the devil hadn't even used any of his Imperial Nether Clan abilities.

At that thought, Beiming Tianpeng's expression changed as he shouted, "Everyone, retreat!"

Unfortunately, he was too late. The Imperial Nether Domain spread out and instantly surrounded all 20 of the Saints around Xiang Shaoyun. The 20 Saints were thus reduced into fish on a chopping board.

That was what Xiang Shaoyun had been waiting for all along. Despite his Imperial Nether Domain's massive range, Saints were too fast. If they were too far away, he wouldn't have a chance of dragging them into his domain. Thus, he did nothing after keeping the black yin pearl away, waiting for the Saints to approach him before trapping them in the domain.

The Saints panicked when they found that their combat strength had dropped upon entering the domain. They knew very well that they had entered his Imperial Nether Domain.

"Everyone, work together and break this domain! We'll all die here otherwise!" someone cried out in alarm.

Instantly, numerous chains shot out and wrapped around the Saint before he could even react. The other Saints also faced the chains' assault, and they attacked with all their strength only to find how tough the chains were. They had no way of destroying them.

The chains instantly squeezed the weaker Saints among them to death. Even after their saint souls flew out, the souls were instantly devoured. Gui Qi had appeared out of nowhere and, flapping his thin wings, trapped one Saint after another in an illusion, causing them to stop struggling.

"Die," said Xiang Shaoyun as his eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty radiance.
