"Close the gate?" "Could it be that the passage connecting the two worlds has been closed by her? The spiritual energy from outside can't flow in, no wonder the formation is not as powerful as before." Jiang Chen saw the weakened formation and understood the methods of the ethereal woman. Not only did she summon the bright moon, but she also closed the entrance, preventing the influx of spiritual energy. Having reached the True Immortal realm, Jiang Chen's body could continuously generate immortal light for prolonged battles. However, without spiritual energy in the environment, his Dao techniques naturally lacked the same strength as before. At the same time, the external laws of the Great Dao were also unusable, further weakening Jiang Chen. The ethereal woman was indeed clever, seemingly having already realized this, which is why she spent so much time setting up. She was right, this place was indeed her domain. "Moon Yin Power, Moon Condensation!"

The ethereal woman shouted coldly, and the round moon behind her moved strangely. Suddenly, long and thick ice pillars, each ten meters long, appeared, accompanied by moonlight, exuding a chilling aura. Although Jiang Chen's formation was weaker, it still had some effect. Under his control, it condensed together to form sturdy lightning, crashing into the ice pillars with crackling sounds. The two quickly made contact, but the expected explosion did not occur. The lightning ignored the ice pillars and passed through, landing on the ethereal woman. The dense electric currents continuously roared, lacking the support of spiritual energy but still abundant in primal energy, capable of turning a True Immortal into charcoal. However, this powerful attack had no effect on the ethereal woman, as if it were a drop in the ocean. "How strange are the creatures in this world? Can each one withstand attacks from spiritual energy?" Jiang Chen furrowed his brows slightly. Just like before, attacks like spiritual energy had no effect on the ethereal woman. The blood-colored giant was incredibly strong, which was convincing, but the fact that this slender and weak woman could also withstand it meant that the creatures here were naturally immune to attacks from spiritual energy! If this news were to spread in the Immortal Domain, who knows how many people would panic. Spiritual energy and Dao techniques were the foundation of all cultivators. Once they became ineffective, it meant losing their means of attack. "With such diluted bloodlines, how could they harm their pure-blooded ancestors?" The ethereal woman spoke, her words sounding strange. Jiang Chen didn't understand the reasoning behind it, nor did he have time to think about it. Ten huge ice pillars had already collided in front of him, emanating a chilling aura. Since the lightning couldn't destroy them, it meant that these ice pillars possessed the same ability as the ethereal woman, immune to attacks from spiritual energy. Jiang Chen could only resort to violence. The Taiyu Bell above his head quickly flew out, colliding with tremendous force. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the face of such immense power, the ice pillars had no way to resist and exploded one after another. The absolute weight could suppress everything! "Moon Yin Power, Moonlight!" Seeing that the ice pillars didn't achieve the desired effect, the ethereal woman spoke coldly, activating a different secret technique. The huge round moon behind her underwent another change. A blood column suddenly shot out from the flowing blood stream, as swift as a sword.

The sound of flowing water also increased at this moment, fiercely crushing Jiang Chen's physical body and soul, aiming to disturb his mind. Jiang Chen reacted quickly. Under the disturbance of the flowing water sound, he couldn't capture the position of the blood column, so he directly placed the Taiyu Bell in front of him as a defense. "Bang!" A loud noise resounded as the Taiyu Bell was thrown back as if by a great force, causing Jiang Chen to retreat several meters. "What?" Jiang Chen was somewhat shocked. The Taiyu Clock was covered in Dao patterns, evolving into the heavens, as heavy as a universe. To be able to send it flying, it must possess an incredibly powerful force. The strength of this ethereal woman was several times stronger than the previous blood-colored giant! Moreover, she was deeply scheming, willing to sacrifice her own younger brother's life without hesitation, showing no weaknesses. "Power of the Moon Shadow, Moon Chime!" The voice of the ethereal woman rang out once again, and the full moon underwent a transformation, bursting with dazzling light. The bamboo shoots instantly turned into a reddish-yellow color, radiating intense heat, scorching everything. At the same time, Jiang Chen keenly sensed several blood columns attacking from various angles. He used his Dao techniques to enlarge the Taiyu Clock in front of him, enough to cover his entire body and withstand the attacks. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Accompanied by the continuous pounding of the blood columns on the Taiyu Clock, Jiang Chen's figure kept retreating, and even the surface of the clock showed some dents. If this situation were to spread, it would surely astonish countless people. After all, this was a divine clock made of pure immortal gold, yet it could be damaged? Jiang Chen's situation was extremely precarious. His soul was disturbed by the sound of flowing water, rendering his spiritual attacks ineffective. Now he could only passively defend. Moreover, the Taiyu Clock would be damaged, and the attacks of the blood columns were relentless, making it impossible to hold on for much longer. On the other hand, the ethereal woman still stood tall in front of the dazzling moon, her long hair flowing without wind, appearing both divine and demonic, effortlessly handling the situation. "No, if she had such strong power, she wouldn't have hidden and would have joined forces with the blood-colored giant to kill me from the beginning." "In other words, it's precisely because she hid and set up for such a long time that she has such strong power." Jiang Chen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and began analyzing the current situation, quickly finding a clue. "So the true source of power lies in that round moon, not in her own abilities!" With a firm answer in mind, he immediately came up with a way to break the situation, pushing the Taiyu Clock forward. The clock continued to enlarge, erupting with dazzling light under the infusion of spiritual energy, like a rising sun. "Your domain? Your domain? Today, I will shatter your domain and see how you can oppose me!" Jiang Chen threw the Taiyu Clock, which had grown to the size of a house, not aiming for the ethereal woman, but for the round moon behind her. Both the sound of flowing water and the blood columns originated from the moon. As long as it was shattered, breaking these two restraints, everything else would be easily resolved.

The ethereal woman saw Jiang Chen's attack and a trace of panic appeared on her face. Her figure quickly flickered, blocking the path that the Taiyu Clock must pass through. "Power of the Moon Shadow, Blood Hand Robe!" She coldly snorted, opening her five fingers, and a giant hand made of blood formed above her head. "Bang!" The hand made of blood actually grabbed the Taiyu Clock, and then with a fierce squeeze, an incredibly powerful force burst forth, causing each blood finger to swell. "Creak! Creak!" The piercing sound of metal friction came. This divine clock made of pure immortal gold was actually squeezed into a lump of iron. The ethereal woman lowered her arm, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly the sound of breaking porcelain rang out. Her heart felt as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer!
