Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 652: Energy Fills the Universe (Seeking Subscription)

"Golden Dragon Crossing the Ridge!" Bai Xuelin shouted furiously, thinking of a series of severe consequences. The dragon tattoo on his back emitted a dazzling light, pouring a primal force from its soul into him. With this power, Bai Xuelin kicked Pei Yan in the abdomen, knocking him off, and flipped up to grab at his throat, cursing, "Die, you runt!"

"If anyone's going to die, it's you!" Pei Yan flicked Bai Xuelin's hand away, then counter-punched his face. Accompanying the punch was the black mist continuously flowing from the gaps in his mecha.

Bai Xuelin, furious from the punch to his face, wanted to retaliate, but saw the surface of his mechanical puppet tainted by the black mist corroding, the effect slowly but surely, spreading like mold.

"You vile Demon Race brat, I'll take your life!" In distress over his puppet's damage, Bai Xuelin leaped out of the black mist, taking a deep breath. Then, his whole body, along with the dragon tattoo on his back, emitted a blinding light.

At this point in the battle, Pei Yan dared not underestimate his opponent anymore. As Bai Xuelin unleashed what seemed a mighty killing blow, Pei Yan prepared to use his left eye's power to teleport behind him, only to find himself and the surrounding space firmly trapped in place.

"Heaven and Earth Cage! Bai Xuelin is desperate! He's actually consuming his life source to unleash such a forbidden move with the power of heaven and earth!" People in the crowd watching exclaimed in amazement.

"Everyone, be careful! The next move will surely be powerful. Prepare your defenses to prevent collateral damage!" Someone warned, as various factions launched defensive techniques before them.

As the crowd speculated, after using the Secret Technique to lock Pei Yan in place, Bai Xuelin clasped his palms together. When he opened them, talismans densely gathered between his hands. As his fingers moved, chanting continuously, the talismans ignited one after another, transforming into spiritual light gathering before him. When a gigantic Spiritual Qi Group formed, he still didn't stop, continually compressing its size with his hands.

With each injection and compression of Spiritual Power, a piece of Spirit Stone shattered on his body, until the stones and the dragon tattoo on his back dissipated. The originally basketball-sized Spiritual Qi Group in front of him was compressed to the size of a baby's fist.

Having done all this, Bai Xuelin exhaled deeply, looked at Pei Yan struggling in place, and sneered: "When you die, don't hate me for being heartless. Blame yourself for being too arrogant, challenging me jumping two major realms higher. Otherwise, this Heaven and Earth Cage really wouldn't be able to trap you. Your minor Demon Race tricks will be confined along with your body in this cage!"

"So just die in peace! Qi fills the universe!" With a light shout from Bai Xuelin, the Spiritual Qi in his palm arced through the air, headed straight for Pei Yan.

A Spiritual Qi Group the size of a finger could penetrate one's body. Pei Yan, knowing what a group ten times thicker striking him would cause, couldn't afford to hold anything back. Despite being trapped, he could use his powers. With two flicks of his fingers, two light screens appeared before him. Discontent still, he continuously gathered and compressed methane with one hand, and with the other, a gleaming electromagnetic glow formed at his wrist, condensing a cannon shell.

Brilliant white light shot from the screens, merging two plasma cannons to meet the incoming Spiritual Qi Group. Upon collision, the space of the mountain and river map fell into a deathly stillness. Every observer seemed to hear their own heartbeat. After the brief tranquility, a solar-like blaze erupted, forcing everyone to avert their gaze. Soon after, the ground shook fiercely, and the blast wave, along with clouds of dust, swept over, engulfing all watching.

Over ten minutes later, the ground returned to peace. Under the control of experts from various planes, a wind blew away the surrounding haze. The investigation team, shielded in the center by Elder Lin and Gu Shenghui, rushed out at once as the crisis passed. Pei Jin, ignoring his dusty appearance, searched anxiously for his brother's figure, shouting, "Pei Yan! Where's Pei Yan?"

"Where is he? Where?" Wang Wenze, smartly putting on his prepared sunglasses, rubbed his eyes and eagerly observed the battlefield.

Everyone followed the direction of his pointing finger, seeing the valley where Pei Yan and Bai Xuelin had fought leveled to the ground. At the center of the battlefield, a bottomless pit remained, and from its edge, a dirt-covered figure staggered up from the rubble. His distinct demon horns confirmed his identity!

"Pei Yan! Pei Yan is still alive!" The investigation team embraced each other, cheering.

"How... How is he still alive?" Shi Yuansi and Jiang Jingyi turned ashen, trembling in disbelief.

Flying over the pit and landing on the other side, Pei Yan trudged heavily to Bai Xuelin's damaged mechanical puppet. Sensing the hateful aura it emitted, Pei Yan grinned and said: "Your move was indeed powerful. I actually used three kinds of power to dissolve it. The clash of various forces harmed us both equally. The reason I'm standing and you're not is because I've learned more and trained diversely, so my recovery ability is stronger. Spoken by the victor, this opposite reasoning is convincing!"

"This battle, I have won!" After speaking, Pei Yan no longer paid attention to Bai Xuelin lying on the ground. He had to admit today's battles against Sword Stand Man and Bai Xuelin deeply shocked him. This was merely the strength of a first-rate sect. What kind of experts did the Six Mansions of the Immortal Palace at the top of the Daoist Plane's food chain have?

Bai Xuelin's remark was correct; he was still too inexperienced. Of the four planes, the Daoist Plane, as the dominant one, had a depth far beyond the weakened Hell Plane. Because of this apprehension, Pei Yan dared not kill wantonly, after all, being on their territory. The victory had been decided; resorting to underhanded tactics risked being caught and accused.

"Do you think you've won just like that?"

As Pei Yan landed, he heard the words and turned back, seeing the mechanical puppet with its legs exploded struggling to rise. With the aid of Spiritual Power, it hovered mid-air, glaring at Pei Yan and shouting: "Assist me, brother disciples!"

Shi Yuansi and Jiang Jingyi exchanged a glance, revealing conflicted expressions: "Brother, this!"

"I said, assist me! I'll bear all consequences and infamy!"
