Chapter 1763 Desperate Resistance!
The mirror-like surface reflected Ye Chuyun's slightly solemn face.
The palm-sized Heaven-Deceiving Mirror has intricate cloud patterns carved on its surface, and a flowing barrier on its surface.
These are items obtained by members of the garrison in a certain secret realm. They chose to hand them over voluntarily in order to exchange them for contribution points.
The Mirror of Deception can temporarily conceal the secrets of heaven and project one's own fortune into a false image, but the price is that it will shatter after use.
Ye Chuyun never imagined that she would use it here.
The moment the mirror reflected her reflection, Ye Chuyun felt something invisible being drawn away.
That was the "momentum" he had accumulated so far.
In the world of gods and demons, everyone has an invisible thread of destiny that is connected to the laws of heaven and earth, determining opportunities, life and death, fortune and misfortune.
Now, these lines have been forcibly shifted by the mirror.
The reflection in the mirror began to distort, gradually forming a figure that looked exactly like Ye Chuyun but was somewhat illusory.
The phantom was expressionless, with empty eyes, yet it carried all of Ye Chuyun's current destiny.
Click!
The mirror made a cracking sound, and a crack spread from the edge to the center.
Almost at the same time, a strange change occurred in the sky above Liujin Lake.
The once golden sky suddenly darkened, with dark clouds gathering from all directions. Lightning flashed within the clouds, but it was not ordinary thunder; instead, it was a dark purple arc of electricity.
Above the lake, the newly formed star coins trembled incessantly, emitting waves of resistance.
"They're here." Ye Chuyun's eyes sharpened, and she raised the Heaven-Concealing Mirror high above her head.
The reflection in the mirror seemed to come alive, raising its head and gazing at the sky.
"boom!"
The first bolt of dark purple lightning struck down, its target Ye Chuyun by the lake.
However, three zhang above his head, the lightning strangely veered off course and struck the illusory image in the mirror.
The phantom trembled violently, cracks appearing on its surface, as it withstood the blow.
Ye Chuyun felt the temperature of the mirror in her hand rise sharply, and several more cracks appeared.
He dared not be negligent and poured his magical power into the mirror continuously.
Now that he has the Spirit-Absorbing Pearl, he has no fear of running out of magical power.
The Mirror of Deception requires energy to maintain; otherwise, the phantom will instantly shatter under the backlash of fortune.
"The way of Heaven is balanced; gain and loss go hand in hand." Ye Chuyun recalled the words in that scripture, and her understanding deepened.
The gift of Liujin Lake is not free; it temporarily alters the distribution of wealth in the laws of nature in some way, taking away the wealth of others, or even illusory wealth, in advance.
This behavior violates the laws of nature and will inevitably provoke a backlash from those laws.
The backlash of fortune is a manifestation of this kind of counterattack.
"Second round!" Ye Chuyun called out in a low voice.
The dark clouds in the sky churned even more violently.
The dark purple lightning no longer struck in streaks, but converged into a vast net of thunder that pressed down from the sky.
A network of lightning covered the entire lake area, and each bolt of lightning contained a strange power that could dissipate one's luck and erode one's destiny.
If an ordinary person were struck, at best they would suffer a series of bad luck for the next three months, and at worst their spiritual foundation would be damaged, making it difficult for them to make any progress in this life.
The illusory image in the mirror looked up and roared to the sky. Although there was no sound, an indomitable will soared into the heavens.
"Om!!"
The surface of the Heaven-Deceiving Mirror was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
Ye Chuyun bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the mirror. The blood droplets seeped into the cracks, temporarily stabilizing the mirror.
The lightning net fell and collided with the phantom.
The phantom gradually faded within the lightning net, and the mirror in Ye Chuyun's hand emitted a humming sound as it struggled under the weight.
Ye Chuyun looked closely and saw a crack running through the center of the mirror.
"There's one last thing." Ye Chuyun's face was pale; the mouthful of blood essence he had just consumed had depleted a lot of his vital energy.
The dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate; instead, they became even thicker.
The lightning stopped flashing and instead contracted inward, condensing into a dark purple lightning ball about ten feet in diameter.
Electric arcs danced across the surface of the lightning ball, and countless distorted faces could be vaguely seen inside.
That is the lingering shadow of the fortune of someone who has encountered misfortune.
This ball of lightning has actually gathered a causal backlash!
Ye Chuyun's pupils suddenly contracted.
Although he knew that the Golden Lake had a backlash of fortune in his previous life, he never thought it was this terrifying.
Could it be because the amount of money I invested was too large, thus touching upon a deeper taboo?
No, that's not right.
Ye Chuyun suddenly looked at the golden scripture in the center of the lake. The scripture was slowly dissipating, but in the process of dissipation, each character released a faint light, forming a kind of resistance with the lightning ball.
"The scriptures triggered a deeper backlash!!!" Ye Chuyun instantly understood.
The scripture that records the origin of the Golden Lake and the method to break its curse is itself the lake's greatest secret.
In his previous life, no one triggered this secret, so the backlash was relatively mild. However, he not only invested hundreds of billions of divine and demonic coins but also drew out the scriptures, which meant he had triggered the core restrictions of the Golden Lake.
"If that's the case, then let's give it a shot!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Chuyun's eyes.
He put away the shattering Heaven-Concealing Mirror; the illusory image in the mirror had faded to almost invisible and could not withstand the next blow.
Instead, he took out an antique jade pendant from his pocket.
This jade pendant is shaped like a yin-yang symbol, with black and white colors flowing between it.
This is a protective item called the "Yin Yang Life-Protecting Pendant".
The jade pendant contains a fragment of the Yin-Yang law, which can reverse an attack in a life-or-death situation.
This was originally his trump card prepared to deal with powerful enemies, but now he has no choice but to use it.
"Yin and Yang reversed, cause and effect reversed!"
Ye Chuyun tossed the jade pendant into the air and formed an extremely complex hand seal with her hands.
With each hand seal he cast, his aura weakened further. This was a heaven-defying artifact that used his own life force to transcend realms, at a tremendous cost.
After using it once, Ye Chuyun immediately lost a month of her lifespan.
The jade pendant spun in the air, its black and white light shining brightly, forming a Taiji diagram with a diameter of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
The Tai Chi symbol slowly rotated, generating a strange suction force.
It absorbs cause and effect.
The dark purple lightning ball was drawn towards the center by the Tai Chi diagram.
The electric arcs on the surface of the lightning ball leaped wildly, trying to break free, but the level of the Yin-Yang Law was too high. Even if it was just a fragment, it was enough to temporarily suppress this level of backlash.
"Send it to me!"
Ye Chuyun roared, and blood seeped from all seven orifices at the same time.
Overloading the Yin-Yang Life-Protecting Pendant put immense pressure on his meridians, causing cracks to appear in multiple places.
But the effect is significant.
The Tai Chi diagram finally swallowed the lightning ball completely, and black and white lights flashed wildly.
Three breaths later, the Tai Chi diagram exploded, and the jade pendant turned into powder and scattered.
And that terrifying ball of lightning disappeared.
This was forcibly reversed by the Yin-Yang law, turning from a backlash of luck targeting Ye Chuyun into a power of cause and effect without a master, dissipating into the world.
"puff!"
Ye Chuyun coughed up a mouthful of blood, knelt on one knee, and her face was ashen.
