Chapter 1191: The End of the Road
Wang Jiaohe, being a Pseudo-Immortal, was not so easily killed.
When Great Sage Lan had his heart shattered, it was no more than a minor injury. Wu Guangbi also had his heart and liver torn out by Madam Bai, yet he only suffered a loss in cultivation.
Thus, the kind of injury that was truly life-threatening to a Pseudo-Immortal was one that struck directly at the root, like the backlash of the Taiyi Supreme Technique or a heavenly tribulation.
Such attacks share a defining trait. They did not target any single part, nor did they spare anything, affecting the entire body inside and out, leaving nothing untouched, ultimately reducing the person to ashes.
Back then, when Izanagi perished under a heavenly tribulation, yin fire burned from the inside out, leaving not even a single strand of hair behind.
Although Qi Xuansu smashed Wang Jiaohe’s head apart with the Three Treasures Scepter, it did not mean that Wang Jiaohe was dead just yet.
The head was known as the chief of the six yangs and was extremely vital, for it was the dwelling place of the soul. Once the head was destroyed, the soul would be left without a place to reside.
Wang Jiaohe’s headless body crashed to the ground, and his primordial spirit left his body.
At a lower cultivation level, only Diviners could soul travel with their yin spirit or yang spirit. However, at the Pseudo-Immortal level, all lineages could soul travel with their primordial spirit, but they could not split their Thoughts like Diviners could.
After the primordial spirit left the body, the physical body would enter a meditative, near-death state. It was different from Diviners, who could control the physical body and the yang spirit.
But at this moment, Wang Jiaohe’s physical body had collapsed, leaving him no choice but to eject his primordial spirit.
Wang Jiaohe’s primordial spirit took on his appearance as well. Even without a physical body to support it, it remained intact while hovering in midair. His wide sleeves and hechang billowed gently, looking like an Immortal.
