697: 221 Chapter Battle, Master of the Dark Tower (Part 1)_1 697: 221 Chapter Battle, Master of the Dark Tower (Part 1)_1 The humming from the ancient zither had neutralized his soul-level attack earlier.
Although Ye Yinzhu had achieved the realm of unity of heaven and humanity, his strength was ultimately still weak.
However, with this ancient zither, he was able to nullify the soul-level attacks against him.
The words Super Divine Artefact were already swirling in Sloane’s mind.
It was only at this moment that he truly began to pay serious attention to the opponent before him.
Zi, Ming, and Glacis almost simultaneously sprang into action, the three divine beasts firmly protecting Ye Yinzhu within their midst.
Ye Yinzhu, on the other hand, didn’t even glance at Sloane, who was forming one Forbidden Curse-ranked lance after another.
Instead, he began to play the ancient zither cradled in his embrace.
At that moment, his heart was filled with gratitude towards Phil Jackson.
If it had not been for his help in subduing the spirit of the Giant Divine Dragon Nox before leaving Qin City, allowing him to temporarily use the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Yin’s Zither, he probably wouldn’t have stood a chance against Sloane.
Breaking Sloane’s soul assault with the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Yin’s Zither undoubtedly boosted Ye Yinzhu’s confidence immensely.
Zi slowly raised the Amethyst Great Sword in his hand, pointing it forward.
The deep purple glow was extraordinarily dazzling, and his amethyst-like transparent body refracted magnificent light under the sun’s rays, instantly elevating the power of the Amethyst Behemoth to its peak.
Linked in spirit with Ye Yinzhu, they had already determined their method of confronting Sloane after a brief munication.
The War Behemoth Glacis and Mountain Giant Ming radiated milky white flames, manifesting their most powerful strength.
Both divine beasts could clearly sense how formidable their opponent was, and their expressions became unusually grave.
Zi shouted in a deep voice, “Block the attacks, buy time for Yin Zhu.”
With a low growl from Glacis, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Zi while Ming also moved at the same instant, leaping behind Glacis.
One human and three divine beasts, arranged in order from front to back—Glacis, Ming, Zi, and Ye Yinzhu—faced the distant Master of the Dark Tower, Sloane.
The lances in front of Sloane, glittering with milky white demonic patterns, had already condensed to the sixth one.
Watching the movements of the three divine beasts, he showed no emotional fluctuations, only a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Ye Yinzhu sat cross-legged in the void, placing the Super Divine Artefact, the Deadwood Dragon Yin’s Zither, across his knees.
His spirit was pletely focused on the zither.
The pressure generated by Sloane’s Forbidden Curse-ranked Spear of Destruction was entirely blocked by the three divine beasts in front of him and couldn’t affect him in the slightest.
With a gentle strum of his right hand, nine streams of purple light appeared without warning and pierced into Ye Yinzhu’s head.
His body suddenly trembled but quickly returned to normal.
The deep purple light that had been hovering around his body also changed at this moment.
Once, when Ye Yinzhu’s strength was not yet strong, he had used this method against formidable enemies to achieve a greater offensive power, especially during his time in the Dragon Domain.
To perform “Ambush from Ten Sides,” he had pletely unleashed his potential in this way.
Later, as his strength grew stronger and with the support of the several divine beasts, he no longer needed to utilize this method, as every use would reduce his strength by one rank afterward—a cost too great to bear.
For him at his current level, dropping one rank would not be something he could recover from in a short time.
However, facing Sloane, facing one of the seven strongest from Faran’s Seventh Tower, the Dark Tower Master, Ye Yinzhu chose this method, which would damage the enemy mortally while also significantly harming himself.
He knew he could not afford to lose.
The Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, momentarily raising his own strength by one rank.
To Sloane, the enemy’s increase in strength by one rank didn’t seem like much.
But Ye Yinzhu certainly didn’t see it that way.
He had already attained the ninth rank of Ziwei Qinxin’s magic level.
Another rank increase was not simply additive but rather a transformative change.
Moving from Zi rank to White rank meant entering the transformative stage of Sub-God rank.
Since the emergence of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans’ Zither Clan, no one had ever reached this level.
Even Ye Yinzhu himself didn’t know what effects would e from entering the White rank, but he had no choice but to take the gamble.
Only by reaching the Sub-God rank could he stand a chance against Sloane.
The surging deep purple flames converged, a faint white light surrounded Ye Yinzhu’s body.
pared to the dazzling purple flames from before, the white light now seemed so weak, forming only a thin layer around his body.
But at this moment, Ye Yinzhu’s entire temperament had once again undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
At this moment, he was the air, he was the sunlight, he was the elements.
Covered by that white light, although his body was still there, neither the three Divine Beasts nor Sloan could help but be astonished to discover that the Ye Yinzhu they could sense had disappeared.
It was as if he no longer existed, yet it was as if he was present in every corner of the space.
Naturally, Sloan did not know by what method Ye Yinzhu had elevated his strength to the Sub-God rank, but being a super power of the Sub-God rank himself, he could clearly feel that Ye Yinzhu’s Sub-God level was different from the Sub-God levels he had known before.
The disdain at the corner of his mouth vanished, Sloan was secretly shocked.
Could it be that the Sub-God level under the realm of heaven and humanity patible was different from the rest?
Why can’t I detect his presence with my spiritual power?
What kind of power is this?
Ye Yinzhu himself felt very special too.
He found that, under the effect of the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, instead of the powerful sensation of a sudden qualitative change in strength he had imagined, it was a void feeling that he received.
His surroundings seemed to bee illusory, nothing was real anymore, and his soul seemed to have spread out into the entire space.
He could see all the scenes in the field clearly without using his eyes or controlling the soul he had subdued.
It was as though countless eyes belonging to him had grown in the sky.
The marvelous feeling dispelled the tension in his heart and the slight fear of Sloan.
At this moment, he placed himself on equal footing with Sloan.
And all of him, under the influence of the Unity of Heaven and Man, merged into one.
At this instant, Ye Yinzhu finally understood the true essence of the Magic Martial Union as Phil Jackson had described it.
All abilities converged into one, with no distinction between them, blending into a more powerful force that included all the characteristics of martial skills and magic.
The Super Divine Artefact Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, which originally required a large amount of his Magic Power and Soul Power to control and municate with the soul of Nox, truly became one with him at this moment, just as when he was playing other Ancient Zithers.
Yes, this was the Sub-God Realm of Zither Magic.
It had a pleasant name, one that Ye Yinzhu had remembered since he first began his cultivation: Taixuan Qinxin, the highest realm of Zither Magic.
Sloan could wait no longer.
In an instant, his Magic Power peaked, and a milky-white magic pattern lit up behind him.
The Spear of Destruction, suspended in mid-air, suddenly transformed into nine spears.
Under Sloan’s control, nine single-body Forbidden Curse spears pierced through space in an instant, appearing in front of Glacis, who was the furthest ahead among the four people including Ye Yinzhu.
Glacis’s skin shimmered with a special gray light, a milky-white halo pletely integrated with his body.
He didn’t launch an attack; instead, he brought his hands back to protect his chest.
Amidst unprecedented concentration, his iron-gray skin rippled with subtle special ripples.
Ming’s hands, unnoticed until now, were already resting on Glacis’s shoulders.
Unreserved milky-white radiance poured into Glacis’s body, and at the same time, Ming’s body simply melted along with this milky-white glow.
Yes, melted, turning into a dark yellow torrent that surged into Glacis’s body and instantly solidified on the surface of his skin.
Petrification, metal, and Forbidden Magic, three major auxiliary effects arrived at once, making Glacis’s already powerful body seem to don an armor of dark gold.
Among the Four Sacred Beasts, when it came to defense, Glacis was undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the Mountain Giant.
Ming used his body to aid with magic, merging with Glacis, which equated to bining the strongest defense capabilities of the two strongest beasts.
It wasn’t as simple as one plus one equals two.
When the two bodies merged into one, Glacis’s humanoid physique had already swelled to a height of five meters, and the milky-white radiance that emitted from his body was pletely retracted.
As they pleted all this, the first Spear of Destruction had arrived in front of Glacis.
With a roar-like bellow from Glacis, his hands, which were protecting his chest, suddenly swung into action.
Amid the thunderous noise, the black spear with the white magic pattern shattered instantly.
The enormous dark attribute energy detonated in the air, countless cracks appearing mid-air, and although this only lasted for an instant, at least half of the magic elements in the air were depleted.
Glacis didn’t even move back; his solid dark golden armor remained unscathed, blocking all the offensive power of the Spear of Destruction with his massive body, not allowing a trace to affect Zi and Ye Yinzhu behind him.
The nine Spears of Destruction were fired in quick succession.
The reverberation from the first shattering spear only slightly delayed the second one, which in the next moment, reached Glacis again.
When Glacis swung his fists again, behind him, Zi clearly saw that the dark golden armor on his fists had fine cracks appearing.
The Forbidden Curse spells Sloan was casting, being a Dark Demon Attribute Mage, were in a league of their own, vastly different from ordinary Dark Demon Sect Magi.
The same curse, when cast by him, had a dramatically different power.
