After saying that, the black mist began to gather in the palm of Venerable Huiyou. As the black mist continued to gather, the sticky little water droplets in the black mist also began to converge into tiny black "water needles".
Within three breaths, the number of water needles had reached over a hundred.
Meanwhile, the Sacrificial Spirit Venerable's hands flew into hand seals, and from the single eye that had split open on his forehead, two pupils began to swirl around a non-existent center. A chilling energy began to gather before the Sacrificial Spirit Venerable's third eye.
The Heavenly Venerable of Sacrificial Spirits' previously normal eyes suddenly widened, transforming from half-open to full circles. His mouth also opened completely, and gray mist surged from his eyes and mouth, gathering on his forehead. A third shade of gray was added to his originally blue-green eyes.
Gray lines transformed into mysterious patterns beside the third eye of the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable. The energy within the three-colored eyeball had already shocked Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi.
Xiao Yan had witnessed battles between Dou Zun before, but the intensity of today's battle far surpassed the great battle in Tianlan City in the Northwest Region.
"Yan Di, you have no idea what kind of being you've brought with you, and now you can die!"
Hundreds of water needles emerged from Venerable Huiyou's palm, enveloping Yan Di and locking onto all areas where Yan Di could escape.
The two pupils in the eyes of the Sacrificial Spirit Venerable were almost merging together, and a beam of energy in blue, green, and gray burst forth toward Yan Di.
Despite the two Dou Zun launching a fierce attack with all their might, Yan Di did not get angry but instead laughed.
"The Soul Palace is nothing but a bunch of filthy rats living in the shadows. How dare they face the blazing sun?"
Their figures vanished from the spot, replaced by silver-black spatial rifts that acted as a protective barrier for Huo Zhi, Xiao Yan, and Zi Yan.
Both the three-colored rays of the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the water needles of the Radiant Nether Venerable were completely devoured upon touching the spatial rift left by Yan Di.
Yan Di left behind countless tiny spatial cracks, which overlapped and intertwined, completely filling the area. Strangely, each spatial crack existed independently, without affecting or interfering with the others.
Each crack absorbed a portion of the water needles, or the tri-color light.
Those spatial rifts resembled tiny mouths, mercilessly devouring the attacks of the two Soul Palace Battle Venerables.
Xiao Yan was secretly amazed by the three people's moves; these were true powerhouses! Since obtaining the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Xiao Yan's strength had been constantly increasing, and he had almost had a smooth journey. At times, without realizing it, Xiao Yan had also developed some pride.
However, at this moment, with the three Dou Zun locked in fierce combat and Xiao Yan unable to control his own destiny, his mindset was also quietly changing.
Yan Di could easily control him, leaving him with no way to resist. He was only able to escape because Yan Di never intended to hand him over to the people of the Soul Palace in the first place.
"Strength is still required!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.
Only with sufficient power can we prevent this situation of being manipulated at will from happening again!
Even after the attacks from the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the Radiant Nether Venerable were neutralized, Yan Di still did not sacrifice himself.
On the contrary, Xiao Yan felt that at the same time, hundreds of Yan Di's voices appeared simultaneously.
"You think you can take advantage of me traveling alone?"
"Even if the three Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace were to mobilize together, what would I, Yan Di, have to fear?"
A series of silver-black spatial rifts appeared beside the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the Radiant Nether Venerable, precisely locking them into this area.
The black poisonous mist that enveloped Venerable Huiyou suddenly spread out, but the all-pervasive mist was completely swallowed up by the spatial rift released by Yan Di.
"How dare you ambush me!"
Hundreds of heroic voices echoed continuously within the spatial passage. Even the Heavenly Venerable of Sacrifice and Venerable Huiyou stood with their backs to each other, unable to find Yan Di's presence for the time being!
Once you reach the Dou Zun level, you can control space. Space wormholes for long-distance operations are often pioneered by Dou Zun powerhouses.
Now, Yan Di is able to hide in the spatial rift, and the two Soul Hall members, both of whom are Dou Zun, have no way of finding him.
The Celestial Venerable of Sacrifice seized the opportunity and flicked his ten fingers in quick succession. Ten streams of blue and green energy simultaneously shot out in ten directions, and the spatial rift that had been blocking the way was actually shattered by the pressure of this attack.
The turmoil caused by the shattered spatial rifts also disrupted the spatial rifts that had originally locked onto this area. No matter how wondrous the power of space was, even Yan Di seemed to be losing control of it at this moment.
The Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the Radiant Nether Venerable also moved in unison, wanting to escape this area of spatial rift first.
The spatial rifts that had appeared to be in disarray instantly closed up and gathered again. In that instant, both the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the Radiant Nether Venerable were bleeding.
An illusion?!
Yan Di walked through the void, appearing and disappearing amidst numerous spatial rifts, which seemed to be his playthings, born and vanishing at the same time.
Often, just as the Celestial Venerable of Sacrificial Spirits discovers Yan Di's existence, he disappears again into the numerous spatial rifts, making it impossible to locate him.
With each step Yan Di took, several spatial rifts attacked the two trapped Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerables from tricky angles.
Although both the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable and the Radiant Nether Venerable are Dou Zun, they are currently being suppressed under Yan Di's pressure.
Yan Di moved freely through the spatial rifts, each move leaving the two Soul Palace members with more wounds. However, the two Soul Palace members could not pinpoint Yan Di's exact location and could only do their best to defend against Yan Di's relentless attacks.
Looking at the two Soul Palace members trapped in the spatial rifts, Yan Di's killing intent was also strong. After all, the fact that a spy could be planted in the Yan Clan was too serious. He had to pass on the message to the Yan Clan as soon as possible. Yan Di could not imagine how much information a high-ranking Soul Clan spy had already betrayed.
Looking at Venerable Huiyou and Venerable Jiling, Yan Di was truly torn about who to take back with him.
The Celestial Venerable of Sacrifice holds a higher position and is more powerful within the Soul Palace, but he is also more dangerous.
While Venerable Huiyou is far less powerful than Venerable Jiling and easier to control, he may not know the specific identity of the spies planted within the Yan Clan.
"Let's take a risk, we're not far from the tribe here."
