Say It with Me, Materialism

Even a clay figurine has a bit of a temper.

The Shen Family Ancestor was being scolded so harshly by you, someone he considered to be a descendant from countless generations down the line. How could he not lose his temper?

"I originally planned to fulfill your earthly regrets after taking over your body, but now it seems there's no need for that!"

The Shen Family Ancestor lunged at you!

You widened your eyes, welcoming the decisive moment!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

The Shen Family Ancestor's agonizing scream was heart-wrenching.

The entire Star Power Mystic Realm shook and trembled violently because of his scream.

Souls cannot produce sound; what the Shen Family Ancestor emitted was, in principle, a fluctuation of willpower.

The reason you could hear it was because the Materialist Warrior trait forced all non-material entities to manifest in material forms within your senses.

You saw the Shen Family Ancestor's soul crash into your body, only to be ruthlessly rebounded.

His soul began to burn. Originally almost opaque, it rapidly became translucent.

He used everything he had to barely extinguish the flames of the backlash, but it was obvious he was much weaker than before. For a brief moment just now, he had almost dissipated!

You slowly stood up, your eyes revealing a sharp, unyielding killing intent.

Having reached this point, there was no need to pretend anymore!

The Shen Family Ancestor noticed your gaze, which was clearly focused right on him!

"You can see me?"

You executed the Starry Sky Seven Divine Steps. Your figure became unpredictable, leaving afterimages everywhere as if you had created numerous clones.

"I can also beat you up!!"

You channeled your cultivation method, unleashing the Crimson Heart Fist at the perfection stage!

Flames covered your fists. This incredibly fierce and masculine punch, having reached the perfection stage, possessed the effect of suppressing ghosts and monsters.

Coupled with the fact that the Shen Family Ancestor hadn't recovered from the backlash, he took this punch head-on!

"Bang!!"

Impact! Sonic boom! Deformation! Power!

Even though your fist was clearly hitting a ghost, the strike landed solidly and powerfully!

The Shen Family Ancestor was sent flying by your punch, crashing into a willow tree and snapping it into seven or eight pieces!

The Shen Family Ancestor had lived for over thirty thousand years and had never seen such a bizarre thing!

"How is this possible..."

It wasn't that he hadn't seen people capable of dealing with ghosts; he himself had ninety-nine ways to do it.

But it was absolutely never through such a simple and brutal method!

Your fighting style completely disregarded the fact that he was a ghost!

A human's soul was still judged as human by the trait system, so the Father of Alien Races trait couldn't take effect.

In order to secure victory in one fell swoop, you stopped hiding your treasures.

Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

Nine Provinces Cauldron!

As soon as the Nine Provinces Cauldron emerged, its body rapidly expanded, transforming into its hundred-meter-tall true form.

"Cauldron Suppresses the Nine Provinces!!"

Da Chun had been annoyed with this old man for a long time.

He actually wants to possess Brother Yi?

How could that be allowed??

The magnificent divine might of the Nine Provinces Cauldron blanketed downwards. Thousands of holy lights formed a cage, sealing off the Shen Family Ancestor's escape routes.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner fluttered in the wind, its canvas snapping loudly.

"Shen Family Ancestor! Enter my banner! Ha—hahaha!!"

A giant black vortex emerged from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. A terrifying attractive force pulled at the Shen Family Ancestor's soul, dragging him toward the banner.

"Do you think!! You can trap me!! With these broken toys?!"

The Shen Family Ancestor seemed to have recovered some strength.

With a furious roar, a terrifying power erupted within the Star Power Mystic Realm. The massive Nine Provinces Cauldron was instantly jolted and bounced up by the shock.

The Shen Family Ancestor's soul took the opportunity to break free from the suppression of the Nine Provinces Cauldron's divine light and charged straight at you.

"Nebula Fracture!!"

He seemed to have unleashed an ultimate move.

But this guy was a non-material existence.

According to the Materialist Warrior trait, which stated immune to non-material attacks inflicted upon you by such entities, the result was...

The move was ineffective.

The corner of your clothes got slightly dirty.

The Shen Family Ancestor was now only a few steps away from you.

Floating in mid-air, his eyes were filled with bewilderment.

"Why?"

You raised both hands high, channeling the Star River Divine Art.

"I'll tell you, w-h-y!"

"Rumble..."

The ground beneath your feet began to tremble. You manipulated the nearby rocks and dirt, condensing them into two massive fists that pincered the Shen Family Ancestor from the left and right!

"Repeat after me! Materialism!!!"

"Bang!"

"Materialism!"

"Bang!"

"Materialism!"

"Bang!"

"Materialism!"

You gave the Shen Family Ancestor a triple iron-fist combo.

For him, of course, it wasn't fatal, but it left the currently weakened him with his head buzzing.

"You're actually using the cultivation method I created to hit me?! Hahahaha..."

The Shen Family Ancestor laughed out of pure anger.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner took advantage of his vulnerability and struck again, trying to suck him into the banner.

"Damn it, calling me a broken toy? You're the broken toy that should have rotted in the dirt a long time ago!"

The Nine Provinces Cauldron pushed from behind.

The two extraordinary artifacts, one in front and one behind, intended to drag the Shen Family Ancestor alive into the banner.

The Shen Family Ancestor rallied once more, using all his remaining strength to resist.

"A Great Dao Immortal Artifact with a damaged spirit! An Immortal Artifact with both its spirit and vessel damaged! You think you can deal with me, Shen Yang, just with yourselves?! Overestimating your capabilities!!"

You also made your move.

You took out the Trait Slingshot.

The Shen Family Ancestor didn't recognize this thing.

"You have another Immortal Artifact?"

What puzzled him was why he hadn't sensed it.

You figured the strength of a white trait wouldn't be enough to deal with him, so you searched through your rare traits and found one you had never used before.

You used the Trait Slingshot to fire Spicy Girl.

Spicy Girl (Green Rare): You love eating spicy food. The spicier your mouth feels, the faster you run, with a maximum speed boost of 50%.

Because you really don't like spicy food, you had never used this trait, even when you had to travel quickly in the past without the Black Wind.

All the characters of the Spicy Girl trait were crumpled into a ball of text and shot toward the Shen Family Ancestor by the golden slingshot.

The Shen Family Ancestor was currently bogged down by the Nine Provinces Cauldron and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, so he couldn't dodge your attack in time.

A thing resembling the Jalapeno from Plants vs. Zombies popped out of the Shen Family Ancestor's forehead.

"Ahhhhhhh!!! It's so spicy it's killing me!!!"

The Shen Family Ancestor was so spiced up that his mouth spewed fire, and his entire soul turned red hot.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner seized the opportunity, increasing their power to pull him further into the banner.

But the Shen Family Ancestor was still too strong. Enduring the immense spiciness, he stabilized himself again and was even faintly breaking free from the control. He was going to counterattack!

Seeing this situation, you decided to increase the intensity.

"Rare traits aren't quite enough either. Do I really have to shoot an epic trait?"

Just then, Da Chun shouted at the Qiankun Mirror, which was acting sneakily and preparing to slip away.

"Brother Kun! Come give me a hand!"
