Lu Ye no longer acted as he did before. Having detected that Liew Yuei was deliberately showing weakness, he naturally remained vigilant.
He raised his saber and thrust it forward.
The entire combat arena seed to dim for a mont, followed by a shower of dazzling starlight, each beam of starlight a sharp blade light.
As the stars fell, the protective spirit light around Liew Yuei fluctuated violently and shattered suddenly. However, she clearly anticipated this, as a different layer of protective spirit light appeared the mont the first one shattered.
She had already used a second protective spirit treasure.
As the glow filled the air, threads of Thunder Power suddenly traveled across her body, and in the blink of an eye, ford a massive lightning orb. The orb exploded with a booming sound, spreading outward at lightning speed.
A radius of thirty zhang instantly transford into a Lightning Pool, where lightning intertwined like a swarm of writhing serpents.
When Lu Ye saw the Thunder Power surging from Liew Yuei, he sensed trouble. Prepared for it, he intended to retreat after releasing the starlight strike.
However fast he was, he couldn't keep up with the Thunder Power.
The Lightning Pool expanded, engulfing him within.
His whole body shook violently as if he were a sieve, and he almost lost his grip on the Boulder Mountain Saber. Though he intended to escape the Lightning Pool's range, his movents were hampered by the invasive Thunder Power, turning him into a stiff marionette.
Liew Yuei's activation of the Lightning Pool Secret Technique was far less lethal than before, but the continuously roaming lightning snakes significantly hindered movent, giving Lu Ye the sensation of being stuck in a quagmire.
Clearly, the opponent aid to limit his speed, soon to follow up with an onslaught.
Yet what he saw next made Lu Ye squint.
Because Liew Yuei's movents mirrored his own, jerky and halting, as if she were another marionette.
Lu Ye imdiately understood that the Lightning Pool Secret Technique affected both himself and Liew Yuei equally, no wonder she had concealed it; it wasn't due to her lack of cultivation, but rather the peculiarity of the secret technique itself.
Then he saw Liew Yuei's eyes flash with a fierce gleam, and suddenly, her psyche force fluctuated wildly.
In his field of vision, Liew Yuei transford into a beam of light, charging toward him with incredible speed, colliding headfirst into his mind, as if an invisible sledgehamr had smashed into his skull, causing Lu Ye to involuntarily reel backward.
Lu Ye quickly steadied himself, slightly lowering his body, rooting himself in place, and a realization dawned upon him.
He finally understood what Liew Yuei intended to do.
This woman actually intended to engage him in soul warfare!
She clearly realized that if they continued fighting as before within the combat arena, she would likely et with disaster, so she aid to exploit her strengths while avoiding her weaknesses, forcing a showdown on the psyche level.
The Lightning Pool was simply to restrain his movents, making it easier for her to unleash her Psyche Secret Technique.
The figure of Liew Yuei he saw earlier wasn't her physical body, but her soul body, which is why it collided into his mind.
One has to admit, Liew Yuei made a highly intelligent choice, and with remarkable decisiveness, showcasing the cunning of a seasoned combat veteran.
In the contest of physical prowess, Liew Yuei was at a clear disadvantage, even showing signs of defeat. Continuing to battle this way, her chances of victory were slim.
She naturally wouldn't take such a risk. Since the physical encounter wasn't working, she decided to engage on the soul level.
Her thinking was simple, no matter how profound Lu Yiye's foundation was, he was ultimately just a Divine Sea Level 2. She couldn't overwhelm Lu Ye physically, but surely she could on the soul front, right?
This stemd from the confidence of a Divine Sea Level 7 cultivator.
Of course, making such a decision also displayed her boldness. Direct psyche confrontation between major Divine Sea Realm cultivators is extrely rare, as this type of battle is far more dangerous than normal combat. A slight mistake could result in soul damage or even dispersal.
Just as she anticipated, Lu Yiye's psyche defense wasn't particularly strong, and she didn't expend much effort before breaking through, her soul body rushing into Lu Ye's Divine Sea.
One look around surprised her, for the scale of this Divine Sea far exceeded what she knew of Divine Sea Level 2 standards.
What a monster, it's enough that his physical foundation is so powerful, but his Divine Sea is also way beyond the sa level.
Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Liew Yuei raised her hand, unleashing sharp attacks one after another upon the Divine Sea, causing imdiate waves to rise amid the previously calm sea, billowing waves enveloping everything.
Fighting soul warfare in soone else's Divine Sea has its pros and cons. The advantage is that she can act with impunity, as any Psyche Secret Technique unleashed directly damages the opponent's Divine Sea.
The downside is her own psyche force can't be effectively replenished, whereas the enemy holds the ho advantage. As long as their Divine Sea remains intact, their Psyche Force is inexhaustible.
Liew Yuei has cultivated for many years and ascended to the Divine Sea Realm long ago. Although she hasn't experienced many such psyche confrontations, she undoubtedly has more experience than Lu Ye.
So, from the start, she focused on destroying the Divine Sea, knowing that the more ferocious her offensive, the more uncomfortable it would be for her opponent.
Amidst the turmoil she caused, at the center of the Divine Sea, a soul body suddenly appeared; it was Lu Ye, imrsed in his psyche, manifesting his psyche spirit body.
With one glance at Liew Yuei's actions, he was furious, imdiately rushing toward her. As he advanced, his mind moved subtly, and pillars of water surged from the Divine Sea, striking at Liew Yuei as a counterattack from his own Divine Soul Power.
Liew Yuei made no intention to dodge, continuously channeling her Divine Soul Power, transforming it into slashes to cut down the water pillars.
Even Lu Ye himself was shaken, if not for the fact he was on ho ground, able to replenish at will, his soul body might soon shatter.
Now this was the rhythm a battle should have. Liew Yuei mocked with a laugh, "Lu Yiye, today you will surely die!"
Lu Ye said nothing, his face darkened.
To have his ho ground treated with such impunity by an enemy was beyond outrageous, making him feel as if a bandit had broken into his house, not only wrecking his possessions but also mocking him.
But there was no helping it; ultimately, he had only ascended to the Divine Sea half a year ago and had never experienced a psyche battle before. Such encounters were inevitably unfamiliar.
Furthermore, in such a rivalry, he couldn't fully harness the depths of his physical body.
He could only keep charging at Liew Yuei, simultaneously mobilizing the Divine Sea's power to transform into massive waves sweeping over her, hoping to make a difference.
All useless, whether it was himself or the massive waves from the Divine Sea, Liew Yuei intercepted them all.
Although the situation was dire, he wasn't too flustered because within his Divine Sea stood the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. Thus, even if his Divine Soul Power was exhausted, he wouldn't face mortal danger, unless Liew Yuei had the ans to breach the Soul Suppressing Pagoda and utterly destroy his Divine Sea.
But the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was a Soul Device, not sothing easily broken.
Moreover, Liew Yuei, fighting on foreign ground, couldn't replenish her Divine Soul Power. Once her offensive slackens, this crisis can be resolved.
However, the struggle was truly suffocating.
He was ultimately a combat cultivator, battling barehanded was frustratingly impotent. If only he had a saber in hand right now.
A thought crossed his mind, and Lu Ye suddenly rembered sothing. His charge toward Liew Yuei halted, stopping in place.
Liew Yuei noticed, and with a lift of her hand, nurous slashes aid at Lu Ye's soul body.
But they were all blocked along the way by layers of water curtains, failing to accomplish their task; these water curtains were manifestations of Divine Soul Power.
Each broken layer ant the consumption of Lu Ye's Divine Soul Power, which, if overly consud, posed a serious disadvantage to him.
In their attacking and defending, a sudden unease erged within Liew Yuei, but the source of this feeling was vague.
Moreover, in the heat of battle, she couldn't afford to ponder deeply.
Her continuous psyche slashes broke through the ascending water curtains, then Liew Yuei sharply sensed disharmony as the newly ford closest water curtain split voluntarily from the sides.
The next mont, Lu Ye's soul body lunged forth from within.
Liew Yuei snorted coldly, psyche slashes instantaneously unleashed, each connected end-to-end, aggressively surging.
She had just used this thod against Lu Ye's soul body, each ti causing him unbearable suffering, forcing him to retreat.
However, this ti, Lu Ye changed his tactics, neither dodging nor avoiding.
A flash of blade swept out abruptly, shattering all of Liew Yuei's psyche slashes.
Where did this blade co from! Liew Yuei's heart sank into shock as she fixed her gaze, overwheld with astonishnt.
Because Lu Yiye at this mont held a saber in his hand, one that seed so familiar, startlingly it was his Magic Artifact long saber.
How could a Magic Artifact long saber be brought into the Divine Sea, or was the long saber inherently a Soul Device? This seed absurd, Magic Artifact and Soul Device are entirely distinct.
Nurous thoughts flashed through Liew Yuei's mind, she truly couldn't fathom the explanation for the changes before her.
Of course, she was confused because what Lu Ye now held was not the Boulder Mountain Saber, even though the Boulder Mountain Saber was now a supre-grade magic artifact, it couldn't be brought into the Divine Sea.
Lu Ye held the Soul Severing Saber in his hand!
But due to the Soul Severing Saber's unique nature, it manifested as the Boulder Mountain Saber's appearance, which was the blade Lu Ye was most familiar with, allowing him to maximize his strength.
Earlier, he lanted the absence of a saber in his hand, then promptly recalled the Soul Severing Saber.
Only upon acquiring the Soul Severing Saber, he rged it with the Boulder Mountain Saber, elevating its grade, thus misstepping into a ntal lapse, never thinking to bring the Soul Severing Saber into the Divine Sea.
Once the idea erged, with slight experintation, he smoothly brought the Soul Severing Saber into the Divine Sea.
