Chapter 1101: Chapter 1087: Self-Mutilation
In the instant Ye Zhen’s eyes widened, the dark crimson Soul Refining Divine Light silently shot out, blasting toward Jie Tianhe who was under siege from all sides.
As the Soul Refining Divine Light blasted out, Jie Tianhe, sensing the imnse Divine Soul Waves, suddenly widened his eyes in shock, instantly recognizing what it was.
At this mont, Jie Tianhe’s feet were tightly bound by tens of thousands of tree roots, rendering him completely immobile, while tens of thousands of Wood-Grain Arrows bombarded him from all directions.
However, Jie Tianhe’s Black Dragon Shield and Black Dragon Cloak, both supre defensive treasures, blocked his body completely, fending off most of the Wood-Grain Long Arrows.
Occasionally, a few arrows slipped through, but a dozen or a few dozen arrows couldn’t inflict substantial damage on Jie Tianhe.
But, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was different.
Especially when there was no room to evade.
However, Jie Tianhe’s response was remarkable; in the instant his eyes widened, his eyes shone brightly as he rapidly deployed layer upon layer of mysterious and complex Divine Soul Defense.
In a blink of an eye, he deployed over twenty layers.
Swish!
The Soul Refining Divine Light traveled at an incredible speed, almost instantaneously reaching its target.
As always, the Soul Refining Divine Light was just as sharp, piercing through the layers of Divine Soul Defense Jie Tianhe set up almost instantly.
But at the mont of penetration, both Ye Zhen and Jie Tianhe’s expressions showed surprise simultaneously.
Jie Tianhe was astonished because he knew Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was formidable, but he didn’t expect it could pierce twenty-three layers of his own Divine Soul Defense in an instant and directly blast into his Spirit Palace.
Such circumstances were unattainable even for those in the Dao Entrance Realm.
However, Ye Zhen was shocked that Jie Tianhe’s re twenty-three layers of Divine Soul Defense could weaken his Soul Refining Divine Light by one-third.
To know that when testing the Soul Refining Divine Light on the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, it required nearly a hundred layers of Divine Soul Defense to weaken Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light by more than seventy percent.
Yet here with Jie Tianhe, only twenty-three layers of Divine Soul Defense could weaken the Soul Refining Divine Light by one-third.
In Ye Zhen’s perception, there seed to be a peculiar power within Jie Tianhe’s Divine Soul Power, significantly amplifying the strength of his Divine Soul.
Jie Tianhe’s Divine Soul Power was akin to flesh, with that strange power acting like bones, dramatically increasing his defensive power.
It was precisely this bone-like alien power that rapidly dissolved Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light.
Nevertheless, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light still smoothly blasted into Jie Tianhe’s Spirit Palace.
In an instant, Jie Tianhe’s Spirit Palace violently shook, the eight Spirit Pillars swaying as if their foundations had been rocked, threatening to collapse the Spirit Palace.
But in the next instant, black Dao Patterns erged one after another, acting like a Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, instantly stabilizing the eight Spirit Pillars, rapidly soothing the turbulence of the Spirit Palace.
This change within Jie Tianhe’s Spirit Palace happened in just a blink of an eye.
However, this instant for Jie Tianhe externally equated to a montary lapse in awareness.
For any strong individual, let alone half a mont, even a mont’s loss of focus is deadly.
Thirteen Ancient Tree Demons, along with over a thousand regular Tree Demons and Ye Zhen, all launched a furious attack on Jie Tianhe in that instant.
The Fearso Wood Hamr, Wood-Grain Long Arrows, and the Yimu Spiritual Power assaults from over a thousand Tree Demons, each root system now like a spinning arrowhead impacting Jie Tianhe’s Protective Spirit Armor.
One, two, a hundred, a thousand may be ineffective, but the simultaneous barrage of tens of thousands of tree-root driller heads pierced through Jie Tianhe’s Protective Spirit Armor, especially when he was unable to command it.
The sound of flesh being pierced echoed continuously, large swathes of flesh started peeling off from Jie Tianhe’s legs.
Simultaneously, the Thunder Light Pearl on Ye Zhen’s forehead suddenly appeared, and under Ye Zhen’s full blood-driven push, one Thunder Snake Blast after another rained down on Jie Tianhe’s head like the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.
In that very mont, Ye Zhen unleashed at least ten Thunder Snake Blasts as thick as a bucket.
For other Martial Artists, just those ten Thunder Snake Blasts from Ye Zhen’s Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl would have left them dead or half-dead.
But Jie Tianhe was different; he possessed four Soul Artifacts!
Soul Artifacts can actively protect their master.
The instant Jie Tianhe was dazed by the blast of Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was the mont the Soul Artifacts’ protective power was showcased.
In a split second, the Black Dragon Shield, Black Dragon Cloak, Dragon Bone Umbrella, and Black Dragon Whip, these four Mid-grade Soul Devices simultaneously radiated dazzling light, with the Black Dragon Shield morphing into an elliptical giant shield over ten ters in diater, firmly blocking the frontal and lateral attacks.
Except for the first Thunder Snake Blast that struck Jie Tianhe’s forehead, the rest were all blocked by him.
Jie Tianhe’s Black Dragon Cloak firmly protected his back, while the Dragon Bone Umbrella, originally an extrely sharp weapon, was now transford into a defense, directly covering Jie Tianhe’s head, blocking the Wood Hamr attacks of the thirteen Ancient Tree Demons.
However, the Wood Hamr attacks from the thirteen Ancient Tree Demons were extraordinarily powerful, especially as the Dragon Bone Umbrella, unsupported by Jie Tianhe’s power, solely used origin power, consuming imnsely.
Every Wood Hamr strike caused cracks to appear on the umbrella bones of Jie Tianhe’s Dragon Bone Umbrella, and by the ninth strike, one of the umbrella bones snapped, and by the thirteenth strike, five umbrella bones had broken, the radiance dimming greatly.
At the sa ti, since this Dragon Bone Umbrella was a creation of Jie Tianhe’s own Divine Soul, every broken umbrella bone made Jie Tianhe involuntarily spit blood.
However, when the fifth spurt of blood was expelled, Jie Tianhe’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, his Divine Soul had completely stabilized, no longer affected by Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light.
Almost the mont he regained consciousness, Jie Tianhe had a clear grasp of his current predicant.
Taking advantage of the mont, he spat a mouthful of blood onto the dim Black Dragon Shield, causing it to flash brilliantly and expand several ters in an instant, blocking several fierce attacks.
“Ye Zhen, it’s you, it’s actually you who’s behind this!”
Jie Tianhe, while frantically urging the defense of four soul artifacts, cursed angrily.
Ye Zhen had already switched to the Purple Fla Golden Lamp, and with every flick of his fingertips, a large fla would shoot straight at the Black Dragon Shield, causing its light to extinguish.
“What, it’s acceptable for you to send so many people to attack by any ans, to capture alive, but I’m not allowed to retaliate?
Or are you, Jie Tianhe, as alliance leader, so foolish to think everyone in this world should let you slaughter them like pigs and dogs?” Ye Zhen sneered.
“Very well, very well!”
Jie Tianhe’s expression turned hideously ferocious, “Ye Zhen, I didn’t expect I underestimated you…”
“Hahaha, not only did you underestimate , I have a big present I haven’t given you yet!” Ye Zhen laughed loudly.
“A big present…”
Just as Jie Tianhe was puzzled, Ye Zhen suddenly tossed a large dark object from his palm, hurling it towards Jie Tianhe.
Jie Tianhe, already on high alert, thought it was an attack and whipped it with his Black Dragon Whip, shattering the shadowy object into pieces imdiately.
Jie Tianhe’s expression froze at this mont.
“Changkong, you actually killed Changkong?” Jie Tianhe roared in fury.
Only after he shredded the object with the Black Dragon Whip did he realize it was the corpse of the Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong.
In his rage, there was a montary gap in Jie Tianhe’s defense, and Ye Zhen dashed forward, skimming the ground as the Thunder Light Pearl on his forehead flashed thrice.
Each flash was accompanied by a terrifying thunderclap sound.
In the next mont, a thunder snake as thick as a barrel crashed onto Jie Tianhe’s legs, already battered and revealing white bone in so places.
Sizzling electric light spread upward instantly, while the second and third thunder snake blasts rapidly struck.
These struck directly on Jie Tianhe’s exposed flesh, charring it black, and the numbing power of the lightning was the most terrifying part.
Regaining his senses, Jie Tianhe spat out two words through gritted teeth, “Despicable!”
“Hmph, why didn’t you say those words when you unleashed a beast tide to attack ? Why didn’t you say those words when you arranged others to ambush in the undersea canyon?”
Ye Zhen’s taunt was not finished when he suddenly froze.
The lower half of Jie Tianhe’s body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
Whether bone or flesh, everything blew into a cloud of blood mist, and Jie Tianhe’s lower half completely vanished.
With this disappearance, the countless roots of the thousand tree demons erging from the ground lost their control and binding over Jie Tianhe, and even the paralysis from the previous thunder snake blast could no longer affect him.
Almost in the instant Ye Zhen was stunned, Jie Tianhe suddenly spat out three mouthfuls of pale golden life-bound essence blood, causing the dim Dragon Bone Umbrella to suddenly burst into dazzling dark light.
In an instant, the Dragon Bone Umbrella, carrying Jie Tianhe, whirled outward like a whirlwind.
Like a giant spinning top with a sharp blade, everything in the path of the Dragon Bone Umbrella was minced into pieces.
“Not good, he’s escaping!”
Ye Zhen suddenly stood up, divine sense operating, flicking his fingertips thirty-six tis in an instant, sending thirty-six terrifying purple spirit blazes like teors chasing the moon toward Jie Tianhe’s back.
anwhile, thirteen Ancient Tree Demons’ arms suddenly stretched explosively, transforming into thousands upon thousands of wood-grain long arrows, inscribed with dao patterns, spinning and whistling towards Jie Tianhe.
Originally, Jie Tianhe’s speed was incredibly fast.
Ye Zhen and the Ancient Tree Demons’ attacks could not catch up.
But there were countless tree demons intercepting in front; no matter how sharp the Dragon Bone Umbrella was, every obstruction could slow Jie Tianhe’s speed a bit.
This brief instant of difference allowed Ye Zhen and the Ancient Tree Demons’ deadly attacks to catch up with Jie Tianhe.
“Alliance Leader Jie, it’s better for you to stay!” Ye Zhen divided his divine sense, fully urging the thirty-six purple spirit blazes.
“Dream on!”
As Jie Tianhe spat out these two words from between his teeth, the Black Dragon Shield at his side suddenly flew up, spinning rapidly to guard his back!
Bang bang bang bang!
Dense explosions like thunderclaps suddenly resounded, and the Black Dragon Shield, hastily urged by Jie Tianhe, was imdiately shattered to pieces!
Nearly a hundred thousand wood-grain long arrows, inscribed with dao patterns, whistled and bombarded past! (To be continued.
