Ascension, Starting From The Chaos Art Of Heaven And Earth

Chapter 158: Tall girl and sand soul trial

Before he could take a few steps, he suddenly felt his body lighten and was swept away by a sandstorm.

Like a leaf, he spun with the sandstorm and was quickly thrown onto a sand dune.

Fortunately, his Physical Body was tough and resilient; although his head felt a little dizzy, he was not injured.

Looking up, yellow sand filled the sky, making it impossible to distinguish north, south, east, or west.

Just then, Yang Che's expression changed slightly.

The sand beneath his feet suddenly surged without warning, and then with a ‘poof’, a huge, earthy-yellow scorpion Yao Beast burrowed out.

Its venomous scorpion tail, like cast iron, arched high and suddenly whipped towards Yang Che.

Yang Che sensed that this was a Level 6 Yao Beast comparable to a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, so he didn't hesitate and immediately ran.

The Flash Cloud Boots' Divine Ability indeed made Yang Che incredibly fast.

However, the venomous scorpion moved through the sand with equally incredible speed.

Originally, if it was just this one Yao Beast, Yang Che wouldn't have been afraid at all.

But soon, the yellow sand all around began to surge, and one venomous scorpion after another burrowed out of the sand, all chasing after him.

A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed there were no less than a dozen of them, which made Yang Che's scalp tingle, so he had no choice but to ‘teleport’.

With his current cultivation, using Extreme Power, he could only support four consecutive teleports.

Each teleport could cover a maximum distance of thirty li.

The Flash Cloud Boots were a replica Ancient Treasure, and the higher one's cultivation, the more power it could unleash.

For example, back in the Blood Coffin Crypt, the Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse Mie, wearing these Flash Cloud Boots, could perform almost infinite short-distance teleports.

At this moment, after performing two consecutive teleports, Yang Che had already reached sixty li away.

And his internal Extreme Power had been depleted by more than fifty percent.

Fortunately, having shaken off those venomous scorpions, Yang Che discovered a dry sand field before him.

Within the sand field were several collapsed stone houses.

Sitting cross-legged on a stone wall, he spread his Divine Sense, searching for the direction Tianxie Ziyin had indicated.

Just as Yang Che had recovered somewhat and was preparing to continue his journey, a sand dune not far away suddenly exploded with a ‘boom’, sending dust flying.

An incredibly thick, giant python was rapidly coiling its body across the sandy ground, and standing prominently on the python's flat, triangular head was a ‘burly’ young woman.

Yang Che's pupils slightly contracted, and he immediately jumped off the stone wall, hiding in a secluded corner of the collapsed stone wall.

Although he only glanced at the burly young woman quickly, Yang Che had already realized that he was definitely no match for her.

The giant python beneath the burly young woman was a Level 6 peak Yao Beast comparable to a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, and the young woman's cultivation aura was no less than that of Junior Martial Uncle Sima Chaoqun, the Hall Master of the Sword Gate Hall in the Qing Jian Sect.

From this, it could be judged that this burly young woman's cultivation was at least at the Core Formation Late Stage.

As for why her appearance was so young, Yang Che had long since grown accustomed to it.

Tianxie Ziyin also had the appearance of a young woman, yet her true strength and cultivation still made Yang Che feel unfathomable.

However, Yang Che was still quite surprised by the young woman's ‘burly’ physique.

Because she wasn't fat, but rather burly, with a tall frame; if he didn't look at her face and clothing, Yang Che truly couldn't tell she was a young woman.

At this moment, the burly young woman and the giant snake were getting closer and closer, and Yang Che couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, this was the ‘Ancient Remnant Sand Sea’, the dwelling place of the descendants of ancient Cultivators. As an outsider, he was well aware that if he were discovered, trouble would surely ensue.

Fortunately, the giant snake extended its huge, crimson long tongue and lingered nearby for a long time, seemingly sensing nothing, before quickly coiling its body and leaving with a hint of doubt.

Just then, the sand beneath Yang Che's feet suddenly surged, and he could only helplessly leap into the air, doing his best to evade.

‘Plop!’

A venomous scorpion burst out of the sand, its huge scorpion tail stabbing directly at Yang Che.

A ruthless glint appeared in Yang Che's eyes; he didn't dodge, and the Nine Heart Thunder Flame surged forth.

The venomous scorpion seemed to sense the terrifying nature of the pale white flames before it, immediately retracting its tail and instead using its two pincer-like claws, preparing to bypass the flames and continue attacking Yang Che. Just then, a giant maw suddenly descended from above, directly swallowing the venomous scorpion in one gulp.

It turned out that the giant python from before had suddenly returned.

And the burly young woman stood suspended in the air, staring at Yang Che with an incredibly cold gaze.

"You are not from my Sand Sea. Who are you, and where do you come from?"

The young woman, from above, spoke to Yang Che in an incredibly oppressive tone, mixed with a strange sense of judgment.

Before Yang Che could speak, Tianxie Ziyin's voice first rang out in his mind: "Yang Che, do not speak to her, leave quickly. As long as we get close to that nearest Oasis, once this King seizes control of the Oasis, we will have a foothold in the outer reaches of this Sand Sea. By then, even the ‘Ancient Remnant Alliance’ of the Sand Sea won't be able to do anything to us."

Yang Che was greatly puzzled, not knowing why Tianxie Ziyin didn't want him to speak, but he still obeyed, activating the Flash Cloud Boots' teleportation, and immediately vanished from there.

The burly young woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon, her eyes revealed an incredibly fervent greed.

"Chase."

The burly young woman patted the giant snake's head beneath her, and then the giant snake twisted its massive body, quickly chasing in a certain direction.

...

"Zi Yin, why didn't you let me pay attention to that woman just now?"

Yang Che was currently speeding towards the Oasis indicated by Tianxie Ziyin.

"That woman is a descendant of an ancient Cultivator from the Ancient Remnant Sand Sea. If this King is not mistaken, she just cast the ‘Sand Soul Judgment’ dark curse. If you had rashly opened your mouth and responded to her, you would have easily fallen victim to this dark curse. After that, no matter what you did, you would have been subtly influenced by her. Over time, you would have unknowingly become her slave."

"That terrifying?"

Yang Che felt it was unbelievable.

Tianxie Ziyin snorted coldly and continued, "What's this? There are many peculiar and strange things in this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea. In short, you must be careful at all times, especially when encountering someone with that strange judgmental tone from just now; absolutely do not speak."

"I understand."

Yang Che kept it firmly in mind and sped up again.

He also hoped to reach the Oasis Zi Yin spoke of quickly, so he could settle down and then fully strive for Core Formation.

A few days later.

Yang Che suddenly smelled a hint of moisture in the incredibly dry desert air.

His weary spirit couldn't help but be invigorated.

It seemed the Oasis Zi Yin spoke of was getting closer and closer.

However, just then, a sandstorm suddenly rolled in the nearby sky, and then Yang Che saw a thick giant snake pass through the sandstorm, swallowing him in one gulp.

Yang Che immediately realized that the burly young woman had caught up.

"Truly a persistent Yin Soul."

Yang Che was annoyed, but also helpless.

After all, the cultivation gap with this burly young woman was too great.

Other than fleeing, he had no other options.

Although Tianxie Ziyin had recovered some cultivation, to ensure the flawless seizure of the Oasis, she had clearly stated that she would absolutely not act until they were close to the Oasis.

These past few days, Yang Che had continuously performed teleports and dared not stop for too long to recover, so he was already in an overloaded state.

As the giant snake swallowed him, Yang Che had just managed to evade using Wind Severing Shadow when a ‘sand spear’ flying from the side pierced his shoulder.

Yang Che quickly retreated while swallowing a handful of Nourishing Yuan Pills, then coldly glanced at the smug burly young woman and decisively fled.

As the moisture in the air grew thicker, Yang Che's joy also intensified.

However, the young woman riding the giant snake soon caught up again.

And at this moment, Yang Che dared not randomly use teleportation anymore; he had to save one opportunity to use in a critical moment.

Yang Che took out an Intermediate Low-Rank Spirit Talisman, softly chanted a spell, and slapped it onto his body, and an earthy-yellow light shield protected him.

Immediately after, his eyes darted around, rapidly thinking of a way to escape.

With a ‘boom’.

Yang Che was fiercely struck by the burly young woman, and his entire body, along with the light shield, was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.

Borrowing the force, Yang Che leaped again towards the Oasis.

In the face of absolute strength, Yang Che was very clear that he had no choice but to hold on until he got close to the Oasis and Tianxie Ziyin made her move.

Continuing to flee for a while, a large number of figures suddenly appeared ahead.

"Quick, enter the Magic Stone Space."

Tianxie Ziyin's voice rang out urgently.

Yang Che didn't hesitate at all and immediately entered the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.
