650: Chapter 205: Battle of the Spirit, Giant Divine Dragon (Part 2)_1 650: Chapter 205: Battle of the Spirit, Giant Divine Dragon (Part 2)_1 It was only because it was preserved within the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither that a slither of his soul’s essence remained.
However, the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon in front of him didn’t seem weak at all.
It was as if it had condensed into a tangible body, which in the context of Undead Magic, meant it was the most plete soul possible.
The soul power contained within the soul was almost 100% of what it was during life.
Right now, the space that Ye Yinzhu and the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon occupied inside this Super Divine Artefact was the Soul Artifact space, and the only thing they could rely on was soul power.
A faint white light flashed in front of Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, the signature of the Undead Exploration Magic — Eye of the Undead, pulsory learning for any Necromancer.
Through the Eye of the Undead, one could clearly discern the rank of another’s soul.
Naturally, the Eye of the Undead couldn’t evaluate the rank of opponents five ranks higher than oneself.
When Ye Yinzhu’s soul focused on Nox’s soul, his investigation through the Eye of the Undead confirmed that he was right.
No doubt, the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon Nox was pletely intact, and it had received a soul refinement similar to the effects of Undead Magic.
Even if Nox were still alive and had a physical body, his soul might not have been as powerful as it was now.
How could this be happening?
Why was it like this?
Shouldn’t he have bee weaker?
Ye Yinzhu inwardly gave a wry smile, but now, he no longer had a way out, for the unconscious soul of the Giant Divine Dragon had pletely locked onto his soul’s body.
If he attempted to leave this place now, he would immediately be struck by a powerful soul shock emanating from Nox’s soul.
In fact, the transformation of Nox’s soul had to thank Ye Yinzhu, or to be more precise, the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither.
Using tendons from the Seven Dragon Kings as strings, creating an Artifact rank Ancient Zither was unquestionable.
However, even with the Seven Dragon Kings’ tendons for strings, the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon as the zither’s artifact spirit, added with some Divine Dragon bones as part of the zither’s body, it still wouldn’t be enough to form the current Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither.
Ye Yinzhu always overlooked one crucial detail, why did that dragon in its Dragon Bone form sleep under the Dragon Spirit Tree back in the Dragon Domain?
Why were there so many Dragon Spirit Trees in the Dragon Domain?
Generally speaking, the more powerful the creature was in life, the longer their soul would persist after death as an undead.
For a mighty race like the Dragon Clan, even in death, their souls would exist forever.
However, existing doesn’t mean staying.
In the Dragon Domain, not a single soul or bone dragon left the domain’s limits; the sole reason for that was the Dragon Soul Wood.
Ye Yinzhu’s “Dragon Flight Movement” could have such a mighty effect, one part due to the zither music itself, while the other, precisely because the original body of his Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither was formed from Dragon Soul Wood.
The piece of Dragon Soul Wood that Nox gave Ye Yinzhu back then was the essence condensed from the oldest and highest-quality Dragon Soul Wood next to him.
The reason Nox’s soul maintained consciousness after his death and didn’t bee like the other bone dragons was that the breath of this Dragon Soul Wood protected his soul.
One can imagine how precious this oldest piece of Dragon Soul Wood was.
Therefore, the root reason why the Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither that Ye Yinzhu crafted became a Super Divine Artefact was due to the essence of the Dragon Soul Wood that had grown for countless millennia.
Tendons from the Seven Dragon Kings, Nox’s soul and bones were secondary in parison.
When Nox’s soul entered the Ancient Zither, it merely broke through the final fragile barrier and brought the instrument, which was already nearing Super Divine Artefact status, into the realm of Super Divine Artefacts.
Although it played a transformative role, its true function was far less effective than that of the Dragon Soul Wood essence.
The primary properties of the Dragon Soul Wood are to refine, protect, and solidify souls, especially for the Dragon Clan which experiences the strongest effect.
Thus, when the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon Nox entered the Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither initially, although weakened, it had bee stronger over time due to continuous transformation by the essence of Dragon Soul Wood and had already surpassed its original peak strength.
When Nox initially schemed Ye Yinzhu into creating the Ancient Zither, he hoped that after the Dragon Soul Wood was refined, it would bee a more powerful tool to help his own soul refine and solidify, aiming to one day leave the Dragon Realm Tomb.
At this moment, as Ye Yinzhu looked at the soul of the Giant Divine Dragon Nox through the Eye of the Undead, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because he surprisingly found that he couldn’t discern the rank of the Giant Divine Dragon’s soul.
In other words, Nox’s soul was at least five ranks higher than his own.
Ye Yinzhu was now a Seventh Rank Zi rank, and surpassing him by five ranks meant that the spirit in question had to have at least a Third Rank Sub-God rank soul strength.
Such a vast disparity, how easy could it be to subdue the other?
To not be annihilated was already a stroke of luck.
While Ye Yinzhu was using the Eye of the Undead to confirm the strength of Nox’s soul power, the soul body of Nox moved.
The milky-white Giant Divine Dragon, even though it was condensed from the spirit, was much larger than Ye Yinzhu’s soul body within this void space.
Acpanied by a dragon chant emanating from deep within the soul, the enormous milky-white dragon body lunged straight towards Ye Yinzhu.
The massive soul impact came not just from the front but from all directions, cutting off any chance Ye Yinzhu had to dodge or escape.
What to do?
Ye Yinzhu knew that he was facing the most dangerous moment of his life.
Without delay, he called out to Phil Jackson and at the same time, his hands began to play on the Ancient Zither on his lap.
Deep soul fluctuations were released from the energy-form Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, and almost instantaneously, there appeared a layer of faint golden ripples.
The deep humming was the Requiem Ye Yinzhu had played earlier outside.
The sad yet soothing melody released waves of golden ripples outward.
To survive, Ye Yinzhu had exhausted all his strength, with all his soul power fully condensed into this Zither piece.
He was aware that not only being scattered by his opponent was a concern, but even a slight damage to his own soul would cause irrevocable harm to his physical body.
That is the greatest peril of a soul struggle.
An immense milky-white glow converged from all directions, and when it collided with the golden ripples, the white glow paused for a moment.
Midair, the spirit of the Giant Divine Dragon seemed somewhat sluggish, watching Ye Yinzhu, who was playing the Zither, its eyes filled with soul fire vigorously flickering, seemingly struggling with something.
The external pressure on him noticeably lessened, but Ye Yinzhu dared not relax in the slightest.
He knew that once Nox launched a full-force assault, even with the help of the soul piece that bined Undead Magic and Zither Magic, he absolutely couldn’t bridge the gap of at least five soul ranks between him and Nox.
Undeniably, the mental fortitude that Ye Yinzhu had honed from years of Zither practice was unwaveringly strong.
Even in such a dire situation, he still managed to keep his mental state stable, his Zither music gradually infused with emotion, releasing the breath of sadness and consolation from the Zither on his lap.
As the power of the Requiem gradually unfolded, Nox’s spirit struggled increasingly fiercely.
The colossal soul force was continuously emitting a restless emotion, each shock causing Ye Yinzhu’s soul body to slightly tremble.
“Such a strong Super Divine Artefact,” a voice of admiration arose at that moment, and amid the flickering light, a milky-white shadow suddenly pierced through the barrier that Nox had placed around Ye Yinzhu’s body and came to his side.
The shadow condensed, and an old man floated there.
By the voice, it was indeed Phil Jackson.
This was the first time Ye Yinzhu had seen Phil Jackson’s appearance, and even as a soul body, this should be his true visage.
Phil Jackson had an average stature, his elderly face indistinguishable from that of an ordinary old man, with silver hair draped over his shoulders, and a white beard extending from cheek to cheek.
The black Magic Robe, formed by soul power, coupled with the rich milky-white glow, gave a special feeling.
Surprisingly, Ye Yinzhu realized that the feeling Phil Jackson gave him was one of holiness.
It might sound ridiculous, but it was indeed true.
The soul of an Undead Mage conveyed a feeling of sacredness.
At that moment, Ye Yinzhu pletely believed what Phil Jackson had said about the difference between the Black and White Witch Soul.
He knew that even if Phil Jackson’s soul power was formidable, he could not change his inherent aura; this holiness represented a kind heart.
Phil Jackson’s soul appeared translucent white like jade, and the once imposing and majestic Nox, after the arrival of Phil Jackson’s spirit, had its glow significantly dimmed.
“Such a strong spirit.
Lucky you reacted quickly.” Phil Jackson gazed at the Giant Divine Dragon before him, unable to suppress his amazement while also praising his proud disciple.
If not for Ye Yinzhu’s instantaneous munication and his stalling of the Giant Divine Dragon, perhaps his disciple’s soul would have already dissipated or been devoured by Nox.
“Teacher, I don’t know what happened.
Look out, it’s trying to escape,” Ye Yinzhu whispered urgently, his playing suddenly intensifying as rings of golden ripples no longer defended but directly assaulted Nox’s spirit.
