Capítulo 1116: Chapter 1102: Slaying an Entering Dao Practitioner
The bright moon hung high over the sea, mist rising, making it look like a surreal immortal realm.
Ye Zhen, with his blue robe and hair tied high, was suspended in this ethereal place. His eyes were slightly closed, and his body was enveloped in a faint black spirit light. The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten stood motionlessly on Ye Zhen’s shoulder, making him seem serene and mysterious.
Yet, if someone observed closely, they would notice that the dense mist in the sky seemed to sway gently with Ye Zhen’s light breathing, rising and falling with his chest.
Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense was carried away with each rhythmic breath, fanning out toward the distance in front of him.
Originally, the ability to control Earth Spiritual Power that Ye Zhen gained from the Goldback Stone Beast King could at most let his Divine Sense extend beyond a hundred li by attaching to Earth Spiritual Power, even with his rapidly advancing Divine Soul Power, but it was unsustainable in that state.
However, the Black Dragon Martial Meridians gave Ye Zhen a different ability to control Water Spiritual Power. More importantly, after carefully comprehending the Water Dao Pattern evolved by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, Ye Zhen’s understanding of the Water Dao reached an unprecedented height.
On the Spirit Pillar formed by the Black Dragon Martial Meridians in Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea, a faint pattern began to appear. Ye Zhen understood that this was the embryonic form of his own Water Dao Pattern.
However, it’s just an embryonic form, and to condense it into a true Dao Pattern will still take a long journey.
But even as an embryonic form of a Dao Pattern, with the special blessing of the Black Dragon Water Spirit Power, Ye Zhen’s ability to control Water Spiritual Power reached an unimaginable level.
Ye Zhen felt that his Divine Sense attached to threads of mist, and within a few breaths, everything within a hundred li in the sea ahead was under his control.
At this moment, Ye Zhen seemed to possess a god’s eye, with everything within a hundred li in his sight.
Even more astonishingly, this extension did not cease. Each thread of mist seemed to be linked by an invisible network, allowing Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense to leap even further instantly.
Two hundred li, three hundred li, four hundred li!
Five hundred li!
The scene within a radius of five hundred li was all captured by Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Sensing.
At this moment, Ye Zhen had completely held his breath, switching to inner breathing.
Ye Zhen had a feeling that under such circumstances, even the slightest breath from within his body would sever that invisible network and cause him to lose control over the five hundred li range.
It was in a fan-shaped radius of five hundred li, and Ye Zhen was positioned in the direction of returning to Yin Yang Island. With this sensing over a five hundred li range, if Yang Ben and Yin Yi fled in this direction, Ye Zhen could definitely detect them immediately.
As for this situation, Ye Zhen was also somewhat surprised. Originally, the ability to control Water Spiritual Power brought by unsealing the Black Dragon Martial Meridians allowed Ye Zhen to easily observe the conditions within a radius of a hundred li.
Under maximum, reckless consumption, it would be a radius of two hundred li.
Unexpectedly, today Ye Zhen, in such an almost ethereal state, could reach five hundred li.
However, Ye Zhen was well aware that any fluctuation in his mindset would immediately cause him to fall out of this mysterious god-like observation state.
Time passed by, moment by moment, and the kitten perched on Ye Zhen’s shoulder stayed completely still like a sculpture.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyebrow twitched slightly, and the Water Spiritual Power spreading in the southwest produced a violent disturbance, causing a chain reaction in the mist attached to Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense.
The moment a stream of black and another of crimson light sped over, the wind they brought shattered Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power attached to the mist, causing him to fall out of this mysterious realm!
Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
“They’ve arrived, they really managed to escape through the encirclement, it seems I’ve truly cornered some old friends!”
“I didn’t expect it, big brother, you’re truly astute!”
“Since they’ve escaped, then big brother and the others shouldn’t be far away, right?”
With a slight movement of Divine Sense, Ye Zhen moved laterally to the direction where those two streams of light were heading.
The moment his Divine Sense entered the Mirage Martial Meridians, his shoulder trembled, and five Mirage Avatars walked out from Ye Zhen’s body, spreading out in a fan shape under the control of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense.
Without Ye Zhen needing to give instructions, the kitten flapped its tiny wings, and the endless mist gathered instantly, enveloping the area within tens of li in thick fog.
On the vast sea, such an impenetrable fog was nothing unusual.
“Big brother, we finally managed to escape. Do you think Jinghai dares to attack our Yin Yang Island? Destroy our foundation?” This was the voice of the Second Island Master of Yin Yang Island, Yang Ben.
Though Ye Zhen’s previous peculiar state was interrupted, his Divine Sense spread out, easily controlling the situation within over a hundred li radius.
Perhaps due to their hurried escape, Yang Ben and Yin Yi moved extremely fast. In this short while, they had closed the distance to just over a hundred li from Ye Zhen.
While fleeing, the two brothers conversed.
“It’s all Jie Tianhe’s fault, who knew he’d be so useless, and now he’s gotten us into this predicament! Now that Jinghai’s power has increased tremendously, they’re very likely to come for us!” Yin Yi said.
“If they’re coming for us, why are we fleeing back to Yin Yang Island?” Yang Ben seemed puzzled.
“Before fleeing, we still have some treasures on Yin Yang Island which we must take with us! Besides, as long as we return to Yin Yang Island, if Jinghai and his men act, they’ll have to think twice!” Yin Yi replied.
“Think twice?” Yang Ben was puzzled.
“Just as Jinghai said before, if any one of the three brothers escapes, those who took part in the siege will never have a peaceful night’s sleep for the rest of their life! A strong cultivator in the Dao Entrance Realm is no joke!
Similarly, once we return to Yin Yang Island, with the Cold Pool of the Fire Cave, escaping won’t be an issue, right? By then, Jinghai will have to consider carefully. Destroying our foundation but unable to kill us!
Dare they?
Would they dare?” Yin Yi was determined.
Hearing this, Yang Ben was delighted, “Big brother, does that mean as long as we escape back to the Yin Yang Island, the Heavenly Wing Island side will definitely not dare to fight us head-on, and they might even shake hands with us and make peace?”
“Without the assurance to kill us, what else can they do but make peace with us?” Yin Yi’s words exuded confidence.
“Haha, if that’s the case, wouldn’t Jinghai and that brat Ye Zhen be so furious they spit blood…”
“Crack!”
Before Yang Ben could revel in his delight, the Soul-searching Jade Token hanging on his chest abruptly shattered into pieces, and he was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.
“Big brother, be careful!” At the moment of shock, as Yang Ben quickly set up layers of Divine Soul Defense in his Soul Sea, his eyes shot out a tangible Divine Light, instantly spotting a figure standing amidst the dense water mist.
“Ye Zhen, big brother, look quickly, it’s that killer Ye Zhen!” Yang Ben cried out in alarm!
“Hurry, kill him!”
Yin Yi’s expression turned fierce, an endless coldness surged from his being, transforming into countless cold stars that bombarded the faintly visible Ye Zhen amid the fog like an Ice Meteor.
At the same instant, Yang Ben gritted his teeth, the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell suddenly appeared, and with a flick of his finger, a purple flame resembling a meteor rapidly blasted towards Ye Zhen in the thick mist.
Their attacks, launched during their full-speed retreat, were as swift as a thunderbolt. The moment their attacks were unleashed, Yin Yi’s countless Ice Meteors and Yang Ben’s purple flame simultaneously struck the figure of Ye Zhen amidst the fog.
Hiss!
Without any hindrance, the ‘Ye Zhen’ they targeted dissolved into nothingness.
“This…”
An expression of bewilderment appeared on Yang Ben’s face. Having battled Ye Zhen several times, he knew Ye Zhen was powerful. Even if the two of them teamed up, Ye Zhen couldn’t be so easily killed in one strike.
In a moment of doubt, the corner of Yang Ben’s eye caught sight of another Ye Zhen standing proudly in the largely dissipated mist, smirking coldly at him.
“No, big brother, we’ve been duped! Look quick…”
At Yang Ben’s alarmed shout, Yin Yi looked in the direction Yang Ben indicated, but just as he turned his head, a terrifying wave of Divine Soul Power surged up from behind Yang Ben and Yin Yi.
Another Ye Zhen was standing proudly behind them, shooting dark red light from his eyes!
“Be careful…”
As the word “careful” left Yang Ben’s mouth, Ye Zhen’s dark red Soul Refining Divine Light had already blasted straight into Yin Yi’s forehead.
Boom!
Yin Yi felt as if his head was being smashed tens of thousands of times with a giant hammer or like someone was madly stirring a stick in his brains, causing him to clutch his head and emit a piercing scream.
Thick streams of blood gushed from his seven orifices, and his Spiritual Power dissipated immediately at that moment.
With the Spiritual Power dissipating, he couldn’t remain airborne, and Yin Yi’s body dropped from the sky like a dead fish.
“Big brother!”
The intense turn of events left Yang Ben utterly confused, unable to decide whether to attack Ye Zhen or save his big brother Yin Yi.
Perhaps instinctually, or perhaps realizing that defeating Ye Zhen in a short time was impossible.
After all, when Ye Zhen was at the Sixth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he could withstand thirty breaths under Yang Ben’s attacks; now with his cultivation elevated to the Seventh Stage Late Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, it would be pointless.
Especially since thirty breaths later, the pursuers would likely catch up, making capturing Ye Zhen futile.
So, shaking himself out of his daze, Yang Ben immediately reacted, and the five bells of the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell in his hand shook violently, emitting a ringing Soul-Rending Bell Sound.
Simultaneously, Yang Ben dashed towards his fallen big brother Yin Yi like lightning.
Intending to escape with him.
Knowing Ye Zhen’s ability for Divine Soul Attack, Yang Ben understood that although his big brother was struck by Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light, it would likely take only three to four breaths for his big brother to recover.
Everything seemed meticulously planned in Yang Ben’s mind at that moment, except he forgot one critical thing: the Soul-Rending Bell Sound from his Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell posed no threat to Ye Zhen.
Before Ye Zhen’s Four-colored Innate Soul Light, the Soul-Rending Bell Sound was as trivial as a child’s scream.
Watching Yang Ben’s figure darting diagonally, a cold smile suddenly appeared on Ye Zhen’s lips, and the Thunder Light Pearl emerged above his head.
Rumble!
A snake-like thunderbolt, as thick as a bucket, blasted towards Yang Ben.
The terrifying thunder wave from behind caused Yang Ben’s face to change drastically, and a profoundly Mysterious fiery Dao Pattern ascended from the back of Yang Ben’s head, flaring brightly and barely blocking Ye Zhen’s Thunder Snake Blast.
At the same instant, the plummeting Yin Yi, who was about to fall into the ocean, painfully opened his eyes, recovering from Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light attack.
Seeing his brother recover, Yang Ben’s tense expression eased, but in the next instant, his face twisted in terror!
“Big brother, little…”
In Yang Ben’s alarmed cry, a bone fin as sharp as a knife emerged from Yin Yi’s chest! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit to read.)
