As the combined force of their Nascent Souls and Spiritual Energy surged forth, an unfathomable power erupted from Chen Xuan’s body.

Two distinct currents gathered before him. One black and one white.

Distinct, yet inseparable. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

One carried his aura, while the other bore Su Tianyi’s.

The two intertwined, forming a colossal Yin-Yang Symbol that stretched hundreds of feet across the sky.

Yet this was only the beginning.

Chen Xuan activated the Great Yin-Yang Dao Origin.

At the same time, two additional powers emerged from his body. A flame and a droplet of water.

The Nirvana Phoenix Flames and the Primordial Ocean Water.

The Heavenly Treasures merged seamlessly with the Yin-Yang Symbol, as though the technique had been created to contain all forces within this world.

Chen Xuan’s divine sense remained connected to it.

As its aura grew increasingly vast and oppressive, a crushing burden descended upon his soul.

Agonizing pain assaulted his mind, but he showed no hesitation.

With a single thought, he sent it flying toward the corpse.

Despite its enormous size, the Yin-Yang Symbol moved with astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, it had appeared in front of the zombie.

Then it unfolded like a veil or net.

The previously solid symbol turned fluid, wrapping itself around the corpse from every direction.

Within moments, the monster had vanished beneath the black-and-white torrent.

A cage quickly formed, hiding it within.

If Chen Xuan were to use such methods against an ordinary cultivator, it would have never succeeded.

No sane opponent would stand still long enough for him to gather so much power and activate several abilities.

Similarly, facing the Yin-Yang Symbol, which was obviously threatening, they would have chosen to evade.

However, the zombie didn’t.

’Ultimately, the lack of intelligence and your reliance on physical strength are your biggest weaknesses.’ Chen Xuan muttered inwardly as he watched the black-and-white mass writhe.

Bulges appeared across its surface, followed by several fist marks.

At times, it swelled violently, as though the creature within would tear its way free at any moment.

Yet every gap immediately mended itself. Not only that, but the prison seemed to grow stronger following each impact.

It was as though the force used against it was being absorbed and transformed into reinforcement.

Chen Xuan did not waste this time.

Immediately, he waved his hands. One pattern after another emerged before descending onto the prison.

As though he was weaving a formation, pattern after pattern emerged. Lights flashed across the sky.

Roars and growls echoed from within.

At first, they were loud and clear, violent enough to shake the surrounding forest.

But as seconds became minutes, the resistance gradually weakened.

One minute. Five minutes. Ten minutes...

The process was long and exhausting.

Yet just as Chen Xuan was beginning to reach his limit and Su Tianyi’s cries had grown increasingly miserable, the movements within the prison finally ceased.

Chen Xuan’s eyes immediately brightened.

Ignoring the pain coursing through his body, he raised his hand and waved forward.

Spiritual Energy flowed out of his hands and wrapped around the black-and-white sphere.

Then, it began shrinking.

It didn’t take long.

Within moments, the prison had compressed into a sphere no larger than a fist before gently landing in Chen Xuan’s palm.

As Chen Xuan’s divine sense entered it, he saw a scene.

At the center of a black and white world lay a zombie. Motionless and dormant, every trace of its vitality had been drained away.

Even as it instinctively absorbed Spiritual Energy from its surroundings, the prison would immediately plunder that energy, strengthening itself further.

Not only was the creature unable to escape, but its attempts at recovery only made its cage even stronger.

’The Yin-Yang Prison is even more effective than I expected.’

’Looks like the time I spent in the Seven Trials Tower wasn’t wasted.’

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

The Yin-Yang Prison was a spell he had developed on his own through his comprehension of Yin and Yang.

Although its destructive power could not compare to Yin-Yang Annihilation, its function was actually different.

It didn’t aim to kill Chen Xuan’s opponents, but rather to suppress them.

Against a mindless target like the zombie, such a spell was perfect.

With a thought, Chen Xuan stored the prison away.

He had no intention of killing this creature for the time being. He had other uses for it.

After placing it away, Chen Xuan relaxed and was prepared to return to the ground.

But just then, he felt someone grab his arm.

Turning his head, he found Su Tianyi hanging onto him.

Her appearance was utterly disgraceful.

Having first suffered under his attacks and then sucked out of her vitality, her condition was alarming, evidenced by her external appearance.

Her once flawless face was deathly pale, like a white sheet of paper.

Her body shivered uncontrollably, every inch of it trembling as though it was being zapped.

She was drenched in her own sweat from head to toe, as though she had just been pulled out of a river.

The reason she grabbed him was not to attack Chen Xuan.

With her current condition, this much was impossible.

Rather, she appeared unable to remain floating in the air.

The moment she let go, she would likely plummet straight to the ground.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator somehow died from a fall, it would become a legendary tale for future generations.

The thought nearly made Chen Xuan laugh.

However, his current condition wasn’t much better than hers.

Allowing her to cling to him, he descended toward the forest below.

Boom!

The pair crashed onto the ground. The impact sent dust flying in every direction and caused Su Tianyi to lose her grip.

She stumbled several steps before collapsing onto one knee.

"Cough... cough."

She tried to clear her throat while glaring at Chen Xuan.

The murderous intent in her eyes was undisguised. It was as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

After all, judging from the faint smile on his face, she was certain he had landed like that on purpose.

She gritted her teeth. She knew now was not the time to fall out with the man in front of her.

With considerable effort, she suppressed the urge to attack him.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuan’s next sentence made it even more difficult for her to maintain her composure.

"You might want to put on some clothes before you look at me with such a fiery gaze."

"If anyone did not know any better, they might have thought you were lusting after my body."

Chen Xuan said with disdain, his gaze leisurely sweeping over her body.

Su Tianyi instinctively followed his gaze. A moment later, her expression froze.

She understood what he was implying.

She... was currently completely naked.

Even her underwear had been destroyed during the earlier battle, leaving her just as she had entered this world.

Her mind went blank.

A moment filled with awkwardness later.

"KYAAAH!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the forest.
