"A soul artifact is called a soul artifact because it already contains a simple divine soul, or rather, consciousness! Once a martial artist fully subdues and refines a soul artifact, if the martial artist encounters danger, the soul artifact will actively protect its master. This is the reason why soul artifacts protect their masters!"
"However, once a soul artifact loses the support of its master, especially when the master loses their physical body, its power will be greatly diminished!"
Jian Qianxiong explained to Ye Zhen the origin of "soul artifact protection," but his actions were swift, as he flew above Ye Zhen and the protective Longevity Banner locked in a stalemate. With a thought of his divine sense, an unmatched force of divine soul power bombarded the Longevity Banner!
"Jian Qianxiong, how dare you!"
Seeing Jian Qianxiong and Ye Zhen join forces to attack his Longevity Banner, Yin Changsheng’s shadow within the ball of innate soul light let out a piercing scream!
"If I don’t take care of you, will I let you escape to recover and seek vengeance against ?" Coldly rebuked, Jian Qianxiong’s divine soul attack had already smashed into the Longevity Banner!
With this strike, the Longevity Banner shook violently, shuddering deeply, its radiance dimd significantly, and its struggle shrunk greatly.
Originally having cracked Ye Zhen’s four-colored innate soul light giant hand, almost escaping, but with Jian Qianxiong’s strike, the cracks on Ye Zhen’s four-colored innate soul light giant hand rapidly healed!
With Jian Qianxiong’s next divine soul attack striking down, Yin Changsheng could no longer endure, stimulating his divine soul power to let out a terrifying scream!
"Envoy, save !"
"Upper Envoy Pei, quickly save !"
The desperate cry for help, driven by Yin Changsheng’s divine soul power, instantly reverberated across the battlefield, reaching Pei Wei’s ears as he struggled against the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, and also reaching other martial artists in the fierce combat.
Especially the martial artists of the allied forces, hearing the desperate cry from Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng, were utterly stunned.
Even Yin Changsheng himself might not have realized that his urgent cry for help would beco the signal for the complete defeat of the allied forces of the three great powers!
Many martial artists fighting fiercely hadn’t noticed the mishap of Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng, but now, with Yin Changsheng’s soul scream, everyone witnessed the scene!
Even Sect Master Yin Changsheng had his physical body destroyed, now only his innate divine soul escaping in panic, and judging by the situation, even his innate divine soul seed trapped, unable to escape and crying for help!
So what are they fighting for?
In the next mont, quick-reacting martial artists from the Longevity Sect began abandoning their opponents and fled!
However, the quickest to react was Heavenly Net Sect Leader Wug ngshan!
Being besieged by three powerful Establishnt Kings, in life-threatening danger, upon seeing Yin Changsheng’s dire condition, Wug ngshan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Yin Changsheng was nearly finished, and the other top expert of the Longevity Sect, Pei Wei, was also barely holding on, only ti separated them from total defeat.
Once Jian Qianxiong and Ye Zhen dealt with Yin Changsheng’s innate divine soul, if they joined the battleground, Wug ngshan was undoubtedly dood.
In the next instant, Wug ngshan’s eyes widened in fury, his divine soul power urged to its limit, a circle of three-colored innate soul light almost concretely appeared behind his head.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Net Banner soul artifact, continuously urged by Wug ngshan, suddenly burst with brilliance, its aura skyrocketed frantically, instantly rising more than threefold.
This was the first ti since the battle began that Wug ngshan had fully unleashed the power of the Heavenly Net Banner.
Previously, due to his cultivation limitations, he could only fully urge the Heavenly Net Banner three tis, so he always held back!
This sudden burst of power stunned Chen Chi, Luo Zhu, and Wu Ying, who were besieging Wug ngshan!
"Move aside, those who block will die!"
Wug ngshan’s expression turned utterly ferocious, wherever the Heavenly Net Banner’s light reached, Chen Chi, Luo Zhu, and Wu Ying were forced back, and when the Heavenly Net Banner fiercely struck Luo Zhu, he unhesitatingly evaded its sharpness.
Prior to this, the combined efforts of the three could barely resist the power of Wug ngshan’s Heavenly Net Banner, but now, Luo Zhu had a premonition that if he dared to withstand it, he was surely dood, so he imdiately dodged.
Recklessly urging the Heavenly Net Banner, Wug ngshan rushed out madly, his form and the Heavenly Net Banner turned into a stream of light, revolving crazily in the void, before Jian Qianxiong’s Sun and Moon Divine Altar struck, the Heavenly Net Banner wrapped him and the two remaining high-level mbers of the Heavenly Net Sect, vanishing instantly into the sky!
The people disappeared, but Wug ngshan’s sowhat frantic shout spread everywhere!
"Heavenly Net Sect mbers, retreat quickly!"
"Quick retreat!"
"Quick retreat!"
Wug ngshan’s three sentences announced the complete failure of the operation launched by the three great powers to eradicate the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!
Originally, Yin Changsheng’s cry for help had already caused chaos on the battlefield, the allied forces utterly collapsing, now Wug ngshan’s shout was like the final straw breaking the cal’s back, even those die-hard fighters still resisting had to abandon the fight and flee!
At the sa ti, martial artists of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect began harvest these panic-driven fleeing allied martial artists like they were harvesting grain, shouting while killing, "Surrender and you won’t be killed!"
"Surrender and you won’t be killed!"
"Surrender and you won’t be killed!"
The quick-reacting ones, so were killed, so had already fled the battlefield. Those slow to react, showing even the slightest resistance, were imdiately surrounded and killed by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect martial artists.
The smarter ones directly knelt down to beg for surrender, while the foolish or die-hard loyalists t their end swiftly. At this mont, no one would show any rcy!
The massive defeat thus comnced!
At the sa ti, with Jian Qianxiong’s assistance, the radiance of the Longevity Banner dimd to the extre, emitting a cry of unbearable tornt. The Longevity Banner, along with Yin Changsheng’s Innate Divine Soul, was directly bound by Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul’s enormous hand!
In just a few moves, Ye Zhen sealed Yin Changsheng’s Innate Divine Soul, wrapped in Innate Soul Light, and tossed it into the storage ring. The Longevity Banner was no exception, directly sealed and thrown into the storage ring by Ye Zhen.
With a swift movent, Ye Zhen intended to aid the battle once more, but as his eyes glanced around, he was stunned.
Scanning the entire field, he found no opponent worth making a move against!
The dead were dead, the Establishnt Kings who fled had already gone. The few remaining Vein Forging Realm martial artists either fled far or surrendered. The rest were fighting a losing battle, barely hanging on while surrounded by several Sun and Moon Divine Sect martial artists, unable to last more than a few breaths.
As for the Soul Sea Realm martial artists, while many were still in combat, they no longer needed Ye Zhen’s intervention. Moreover, Ye Zhen felt that at this point, fighting the Soul Sea Realm martial artists would be akin to bullying them.
Originally, the place Ye Zhen should have gone to support was the battle between the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba and the Longevity Sect’s Upper Realm Envoy Pei Wei.
But when Ye Zhen’s gaze fell upon them, Pei Wei’s figure was already gone, leaving only the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba sulking as he approached him.
"It’s all that Yin fellow’s fault; a single yell scared that Pei fellow away. It’s a pity, my strength matched with that guy, although my Innate Divine Ability had the upper hand, that guy’s Soul Artifact was remarkable too.
All I could do was defeat and injure him but couldn’t capture him alive. Brother, I apologize!"
"But don’t worry, Brother. That brat first took a serious hit from , then used a Secret Technique that consud a lot of Qi to escape. It’s likely that he won’t recover from his injuries in two or three years."
Hearing the word ’brother’ from the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, an imnse feeling of guilt surged in Ye Zhen’s heart.
Ye Zhen could see and hear that even though the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba recognized him as a cheap elder brother purely by coincidence, he seed to truly treat Ye Zhen like a brother.
And on Ye Zhen’s side, it seed a bit perfunctory, with the motives not being entirely pure.
This guilt inexplicably brought a sense of remorse to Ye Zhen.
"I’m sorry to have troubled you, elder brother... I truly..."
Before Ye Zhen could finish speaking, the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba slapped Ye Zhen on the shoulder, interrupting him.
Although it was just a casual slap, since the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba mainly cultivated his physical body, this slap almost knocked Ye Zhen out of the sky, staggering a few steps, almost falling!
"You and I are brothers, although we haven’t formally sworn brotherhood with blood wine or bows, once I call you brother, you are my brother. Why say so much?"
Saying this, Sunx Ba scratched his monkey-haired head, "But your invitation cos at a good ti. Do you know, staying in that place, one almost suffocates. Damn it, it’s all beasts and more beasts, even having a al lacks appetite. It’s just right to get out for so fresh air.
By the way, since I’m here today, have the wine and at been prepared? It must be good wine!"
"Rest assured, elder brother, at in abundance, wine to the brim!" Ye Zhen smiled, while inwardly reflecting that mixing in the Jianghu shouldn’t let true emotions be lost.
Hearing this, the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba glared slightly, a bit dissatisfied, "Just abundance?"
"Uh..."
Ye Zhen puzzled for a mont, then suddenly realized, "Rest assured, elder brother, the take-away stock won’t fall short either!"
"That’s good, at least this much!" Sunx Ba raised a finger at Ye Zhen.
"A hundred barrels?"
"Nonsense, that’s barely enough for a few days, ten thousand barrels!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s face turned completely bitter, "Elder brother, you’d better kill instead. Preparing a few hundred barrels of Eighteen Spirit Brew is already the limit. Taking away ten thousand barrels, that’s not even the annual production!"
"Well, I’m not too picky with wine, as long as it’s not too inferior, hmm, it’s drinkable..." the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba rubbed his hands together and said.
"No problem, other wines, starting with ten thousand barrels!" Ye Zhen patted his chest to ensure.
Getting this answer, the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba was thoroughly delighted, casually chatted a bit, then his expression turned serious as he glanced at the floating Hu Qingtong in the air, nudging Ye Zhen, "Brother, it’s been so long, why haven’t you gone to see that girl Qing Tong? Don’t you know, she..."
Before the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba could finish, with a swoosh, the stern-faced Hu Qingtong already appeared in front of Ye Zhen and Sunx Ba. (To be continued.
