#741 - Chapter 741 Final Result

Ye Kong emerged from the fire unscathed. The lightning and fireballs had little effect on him.

Seeing Ye Kong walk out of the lightning and fire array unharmed, Lodi's anger blazed. He drew his weapon and, taking advantage of the moment, ambushed Ye Kong, thrusting it towards him.

Knowing Lodi would try to ambush him, Ye Kong teleported to evade the attack. He then adjusted his stance and battled Lodi.

Ye Kong formed a hand seal with fluid, unwavering movements. Invisible sword light swirled and danced before him, the power of the laws flowing like a clear spring, manifesting with exceptional clarity in the void.

Ye Kong pointed in Lodi's direction, and countless sword lights shot forth, sweeping towards him. Lodi couldn't dodge in time and was slashed on his arms, legs, and other areas.

Lodi hastily retreated from the main hall to the entrance, then channeled his energy with both hands to regulate his breathing. He took out a divine pill from another world—the Golden Marrow Pill. This item was a first-grade high-level elixir, made with Living Qi Grass and Condensed Dew Powder as guiding ingredients, refined in a Jade Cauldron Furnace to remove impurities and retain the essence, then combined with precious herbs such as Fructus Lycii, Plantago Asiatica, and Motherwort. It was made with rootless water, refined with spirit fire, and finally, the seedless fruit that only bore fruit once every thousand years in the other world was added, and spirit fire was continuously used for twenty-one days to create it.

Since the establishment of the other world, the medical lineage had painstakingly refined only three of these pills in each generation.

However, Lodi, lacking sufficient physical and mental strength, consumed two pills at once, devouring most of the medical lineage's thousand-year achievement. His body instantly surged with power, breaking through and establishing anew. His blood and qi circulated rapidly, his meridians expanded, his cultivation advanced greatly, and he emanated an aura of enhanced power.

Seeing Lodi activate his enhanced mode, Ye Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, "Opening a cheat code, huh?"

Lodi's eyes turned bloodshot. After consuming the Golden Marrow Pills, the wounds on his body rapidly healed. He glared fiercely at Ye Kong.

The sky turned dark and gloomy, as if dark clouds were about to press down. Deafening thunder and blinding lightning created a terrifying atmosphere.

The gigantic face covered in eyes appeared behind Lodi. He manipulated it with his will, crossing his hands and drawing a silver rune circle in front of him, then waving his hands forward and pointing towards the dark clouds in the sky. The eyes on the giant face launched beams of light like swords, shooting towards Ye Kong.

Ye Kong swept his right foot half a step back and gathered all the spiritual power in his body in front of him, forming a natural, enormous shield, though it appeared slightly inferior compared to Lodi's giant face.

Instantly, dust filled the air. Lodi soared into the sky, spinning in mid-air, transforming a regular blade into an elongated greatsword, and swung it down, as if connecting it to the lightning that was striking down from the sky.

It slashed towards Ye Kong's position, splitting the ground in two, with the surrounding earth exploding and scattering, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

Looking at the scene before him, Lodi laughed loudly towards the sky: "Hahaha, Ye Kong, you are doomed!"

But as the smoke and dust dissipated, only a huge crack remained on the empty ground, with nothing else.

Lodi's smile instantly froze. Sensing something was amiss, he turned around to see Ye Kong floating in the sky. Lodi immediately flew to him and engaged in battle.

The two fought from the sky to the ground, from the air to the hall. After a long period of consumption, Lodi's body could no longer sustain the power of the two Golden Marrow Pills. Now, due to excessive exhaustion, he was no match for Ye Kong in battle and fell to the ground.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lodi took out the last Golden Marrow Pill. Then, he used the flesh and blood of the other world's people to refine a puppet army to attack Ye Kong, trapping him with a maze, but they were all broken one by one by Ye Kong's spells.

Seeing this, Lodi thought, 'As long as I'm alive, there's always hope.' He used a clone to deceive Ye Kong, while his true body escaped to a secluded courtyard in the other world to hide and heal, preparing to use the other world's forbidden technique—Soul Painting—to deal with Ye Kong.

Lodi took out a small paper figure, drew facial features on it, and then used blood to dot the eyes. He drew a talisman with his left hand and spun his right hand to cast a spell on the paper figure.

"Ten thousand spirits and monsters, capture and bind them to present themselves! Obey the Emperor's order, and act swiftly!"

After Ye Kong dispersed Lodi's clone, he searched for the hiding place of Lodi's true body. As he searched, he was surrounded by thousands of wisps of black mist. These were the resentful souls of demons and monsters, all attacking Ye Kong. Ye Kong dodged them one by one, knowing that Lodi's true body was behind this, and he needed to act quickly and find Lodi's true body as soon as possible.

Ye Kong drew a talisman in the air and took out the Qingyuan Whisk from his storage ring to counterattack the black mist. The whisk was extremely effective against the black mist, and coupled with Ye Kong's talisman, which was also specifically designed to counter resentful black mist, the black mist was cleared away in no time.

Following the direction in which the last wisp of black mist fled, Ye Kong found Lodi's true body. The time bought by the black mist allowed Lodi to recover a considerable amount of vitality and spiritual power.

Lodi and Ye Kong battled again for three rounds.

However, Lodi was still no match for Ye Kong. In the end, as Ye Kong delivered a fatal blow, Lodi directly used the hostages he had captured earlier—Ye Kong's disciple Xiaoshan and Star River Sect Master Luo Yangtian—to threaten Ye Kong.

"Ye Kong, if you dare to kill me, then your beloved disciple and sect master will be buried with me!!!"

Ye Kong hesitated slightly.

"You're threatening me?"

"No, no, no, this isn't a threat, it's a trade. Two people for one of me, you won't lose out. As long as you spare my life, they will safely appear outside your Carefree Peak tomorrow."

At this moment, an unexpected event occurred in another part of the other world.

Ye Ling led Ye Kong's many disciples to attack the other world, capturing three cities in a row and seizing Lodi's confidants. The confidants were already dissatisfied with Lodi's actions, and after some harsh interrogation by Ye Ling and the others, they confessed all of Lodi's secrets, hoping to exchange this for their lives.

Meanwhile, Ye Kong on the other side was still feigning hesitation, but in reality, he was sending telepathic messages to Ye Ling, informing her that he needed to know the location of Xiaoshan and Luo Yangtian. Ye Ling learned from Lodi's confidants that a few days ago, Lodi had brought two people back from the Immortal Realm and imprisoned them in a secret underground cell in the other world's main hall, saying that these two were his last resort for survival.

Ye Ling hurriedly entrusted the task of attacking the other world's cities to Xuan. Xuan accepted the order with a cupped-fist salute and took Lin Yaoyao to rescue Xiaoshan and Luo Yangtian. Then, they grabbed one of Lodi's confidants and had him lead them to the secret underground cell. Ye Ling and Lin Yaoyao rushed there, annihilating all the puppet guards stationed at the secret underground cell, and searched for Xiaoshan and Luo Yangtian's figures in the secret underground cell. Finally, they found them in the darkest cell.

After finding Xiaoshan and Luo Yangtian, Ye Ling immediately reported to Ye Kong via telepathy.

At this time, Lodi on the other side, seeing Ye Kong constantly hesitating and wavering, felt that he had a chance and guessed that they definitely didn't know where he had imprisoned those two people. He was about to get up from the ground, but Ye Kong kicked him back down.

"You!"

"Heh~ Lodi, did you think you could threaten me with your little tricks?"

"You, what do you mean by that? Don't forget, I still have two lives in my hands. If I can't live, they shouldn't even think about it!"

"Then don't live."

"Ah—Ah!"

With the final lightning strike, Lodi was reduced to ashes, leaving not a trace of his primordial spirit.

With Lodi dead, the other world was without a master, collapsing into disarray. The earth shook and the mountains swayed. Overnight, the sea turned into mountains, and the mountains turned into water. Some of the remaining remnants of the other world had no intention of resisting stubbornly, gave up resistance, and surrendered to the Immortal Realm.
