C225 Moh Lunhui Who Was Unstoppable!(2)

Under the control of his mind, all of Woo Zhengyang's soul energy surged forward, striking hard against the golden vortex. Whether it was a burst of potential in a critical moment or the vortex itself undergoing a change, this time, Woo Zhengyang actually managed to shake the golden vortex.

The once slowly spinning golden vortex suddenly picked up speed, releasing beams of golden light that enveloped Woo Zhengyang's entire soul sea. Woo Zhengyang finally regained control of his body, but the crisis was far from over. The soul imprint of the No Life Patriarch hadn't disappeared; it was merely compressed into a corner by the golden vortex. There, the soul imprint condensed into a droplet-like form, and even the golden vortex couldn't disperse it.

When Woo Zhengyang came to, only Han Shanyuan remained in the Liu estate. After a brief farewell, Woo Zhengyang left the city and ventured into the wilderness. Having another soul within him was unsettling, especially since this soul belonged to a powerful figure from ancient times who nearly succeeded in taking over Woo Zhengyang's body.

As expected, it wasn't long before the soul imprint of the No Life Patriarch made a comeback. Fortunately, Woo Zhengyang was prepared this time, making the situation less dangerous, but the sense of crisis only intensified. With a first attempt, there could be a second and a third. How could Woo Zhengyang be sure he could fend off the No Life Patriarch's attempts every time?

The main concern for Woo Zhengyang was the golden vortex he relied on, which was an uncertain factor. If one day this golden vortex stopped suppressing the soul imprint of the No Life Patriarch, Woo Zhengyang would be powerless to reverse the situation.

In the desolate mountains, Woo Zhengyang continued to fully engage the golden vortex, locked in a relentless struggle with the soul imprint. However, his control over the golden vortex was weak. He couldn't wield it freely or even increase its intensity, only managing to keep his soul sea from being overtaken.

This tug-of-war lasted over three months, leaving Woo Zhengyang utterly exhausted, almost unrecognizable. During this time, he initially tried to master the golden vortex but never succeeded. Then, when the soul imprint of the No Life Patriarch attacked again, Woo Zhengyang had a sudden realization.

He decided to stop focusing on the golden vortex, as it was too difficult to control, and instead aimed to tackle the soul imprint itself. Each time the soul imprint attacked, Woo Zhengyang resisted while carefully observing how it was being manipulated. He simulated, experimented, and theorized repeatedly.

Finally, perseverance paid off. Woo Zhengyang discovered a method to wield soul energy. Although it wasn't as profound as the No Life Patriarch's techniques, it was a significant improvement from before.

With the newfound technique, Woo Zhengyang found it much easier to resist the takeover attempts by the No Life Patriarch. He even began to wear down the patriarch's soul imprint. Progress was slow, but the effects were clear. The soul imprint of the No Life Patriarch was gradually weakening, and his attacks became less frequent.

Finally, after another failed attempt to take over, Woo Zhengyang seized an opportunity. He surrounded the soul imprint and used his own soul energy to gradually erode it. However, the No Life Patriarch was not one to give up easily. In a last-ditch effort, he detonated his soul imprint, injuring Woo Zhengyang's sea of souls.

For the last month of a three-month period, Woo Zhengyang focused on repairing his sea of souls. Despite the challenges, he finally rid himself of this looming threat, and his efforts were worthwhile. With the golden vortex present, Woo Zhengyang was confident that his depleted soul energy would soon be replenished.

Yet, just as one problem was resolved, another emerged. As Woo Zhengyang prepared to leave the desolate mountain, he discovered he had fallen into another trap. During the explosion of the soul imprint, the No Life Patriarch had somehow managed to plant the essence of death within Woo Zhengyang.

In this way, Woo Zhengyang found himself once again linked to the No Life Sword. Just like in No Life City, as soon as his body parted from the sword, the essence of death buried within him would begin to attack. Despite spending several days trying to find a solution, Woo Zhengyang came up empty-handed.

By now, Woo Zhengyang had been away from Dongjue Country for three or four months. Concerned about Uncle Fu's injuries, he couldn't afford to focus on this issue any longer. With no other choice, he strapped the No Life Sword to his back and left the desolate mountains.

A few days later, Woo Zhengyang arrived at the Pill King Pavilion in Cloud Fluttering Country. Although his journey to the No Life Patriarch's lair was perilous, he managed to gather a significant amount of spiritual herbs, enough to complete the Dragon Saliva Pill. Not only did he craft the Dragon Saliva Pill, but he also prepared the Condensing Essence Pill needed for Loong Zhiwu. However, since Loong Zhiwu's whereabouts were unknown, Woo Zhengyang left one pill with Liang Ruoxuan, instructing her to give it to Loong Zhiwu if he appeared.

Afterward, Woo Zhengyang set out once more, heading back to Dongjue Country...
