Chapter 835: Chapter 6: Soul Slash, Supreme Tao
This change made Zhou Yan’s heart tremble, but his expression hadn’t altered much in the past ten thousand years, and there was no emotional fluctuations—he concealed it perfectly.
Zhou Yan knew that all that was happening aimed to use this ’open strategy’ to provoke the people present from the ’Thunder Expansion Sacred Land’—as long as there were people from this sacred land witnessing these scenes, it would surely stir up intense emotions.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan had fully mastered his physical form, his soul was about to derive and form a soul fetus, and would no longer be affected by these.
However, Hua Qiudao and the other two were completely unaware of Hou Chen’s specific situation, so they wouldn’t have any emotional conflicts. They simply had a sense of anticipation for this duel, just like ordinary cultivators, which was extremely normal.
The instant infinite killing intent derived from the black hole completely countered Hou Chen’s attack, catching Hou Chen off guard.
Hou Chen was injured in a single move, a large amount of blood exploded from his body, scattering in all directions, with qi and blood dispersing like dazzling meteors exploding.
Yet, Hou Chen suddenly employed the Emperor’s Three Pure Ones Avatar technique again, deriving four Gray Dragon forms of Sword Dao, explosively unleashing a Fury Qi Blood Power with invincible momentum, delivering a punch comparable to Annihilation. This was Zhou Yan’s best fist technique, a punch representing reincarnation, as if containing an extreme ancient meaning of survival and destruction.
This fist intent instantaneously spread to four directions, suddenly killing towards Jiang Li.
Jiang Li’s body trembled, the black hole was pierced, and his body simultaneously suffered a punch from Hou Chen’s four bodies, the beast-like strong body immediately shattered, spraying blood into the Void, erupting a big cloud of blood mist.
A brilliant and blazing light burst out, forming a mass of Chaos, as the two’s combat was savage and ruthless, a single carelessness would certainly result in soul scattering.
This battle, having just begun, was already white-hot with no trial element, smashing the heavens, momentum immense.
All cultivators remained silent, concentrating and holding breath, intently watching this scene.
The Emperor Qi Sword Body’s annihilation reincarnation fist intent, dragon form fist intent signature skill, was gloriously demonstrated on Hou Chen, showing invincible divine might, forcing Li He King Jiang Li to retreat step by step, gaining the upper hand.
But the Jiang family’s Sky Vaulting Giant Finger technique unfolded at this moment.
Jiang Li’s body trembled, a massive phantom manifested behind him—it was an enormous finger, as if covering the sky and blocking the sun, suddenly appeared, fiercely poking towards Hou Chen’s body.
"Emperor’s Dragon Fist!"
Hou Chen unleashed a supreme strike, endless soul power condensed, Demon Heart Sword Body constitution began, devouring all energy of a star domain, delivering an Annihilation punch.
"Forgotten Absolute Vein!"
Jiang Li unleashed this finger attack, uttering its name—Forgotten Absolute Vein Finger.
This finger seemed to pierce through the heavens, destroy the earth, and annihilate self and all beings, extremely tyrannical.
The finger technique and fist intent collided violently together.
"Rip—"
The heavens seemed to suddenly erupt with Immortal Thunderbolt Heavenly Tribulation, explosively exploding, endless thunder light and undercurrent suddenly arose with fury, merging the absolute coldness and fury energy together, suddenly spreading in all directions.
"Hiss—"
Ancient Tomb Mountain suddenly collapsed, transforming into a piece of pitch-black ruins black hole.
The flat ground where Tomb Mountain originally lay was directly shattered, even those cultivators near with God Realm strength were instantly obliterated, perished in explosion.
This change, like the annihilation of a star domain, a sudden catastrophe descended, the explosive destructive power was terrifying, leaving many cultivators disheveled and in shock.
The place where Zhou Yan stood, Hua Qiudao casually waved a bit of Merit Power energy, shielding from chaotic turbulence, Zhou Yan employed a bit of Space Power, twisted a bit of space, and avoided such energy impact.
At this moment, Zhou Yan’s focus was on the two engaged in battle.
"What is this..."
"This is so terrifying!"
Some cultivators exclaimed in shock, clearly not expecting the collision in this battle to be so insane and aberrant.
Yet these two battling cultivators, on the record of the plane, their real age was merely over twenty.
Training under the Void beneath the plane, that time did not constitute Time Rules and could not be truly counted as age.
For such an age to possess this combat power, it was truly staggering.
"Hiss—"
Jiang Li’s brow radiated a flash of light, suddenly shooting out a golden short sword, with a lifelike female pattern on it—this woman had a broken arm and blind eye, yet seemed ready to come alive!
This woman was that broken-arm woman on Lonely Sword Peak Zhou Yan had been familiar with, remained an unknown woman.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan’s heart again slightly stirred but still did not reveal any emotion.
Yet this sword, after suddenly coming alive, transcended Hou Chen’s Emperor Qi Sword Body’s imperial oppression control over all swords, heading towards Hou Chen at lightning speed!
That imposing presence was truly horrifying.
Hou Chen’s face was solemn, and his body hidden beneath the black robe seemed to be trembling. His bloodline power gradually showed signs of weakening, and cracks appeared faintly on his body, yet he still forcibly clashed as if his bloodline body was forged from the sturdiest material.
"Dao Sheng Yi, Origin Reincarnation."
Hou Chen said calmly.
His gaze was extremely cold and composed.
At this moment, he was like the figure of Zhou Yan who once dominated the world, his posture like a lonely crane, showcasing an almost ancient divine power in his Supreme Dao.
Strands of divinity in his soul power wandered within his body, from the walking dead-like body, surged an endless energy of emotion.
After freezing for a moment, Hou Chen faced the deadly move, clasped his hands lightly, and suddenly the souls within his body flew out one by one, striking towards that sword.
"This--"
Jiang Li was startled, his cold pupils abruptly contracted.
Hou Chen’s soul had already charged towards that golden short sword, like a moth to a flame.
"Pfft--"
"Pfft--"
...
Seven souls, like seven self-slashes, Hou Chen used his enemy’s strength to slash his own soul, performing the Supreme Way of Soul Slash.
"This is the Soul Slash Supreme Way! This is the invincible trump card of the Emperor Qi Sword Emperor. Unbelievably, the Mad Demon King mastered it, and even in battle, slashes his own soul with the enemy’s killing move, utterly insane and demonic!"
A cultivator gasped in amazement.
Almost all cultivators were moved, and the sounds of discussion quickly died down.
Hou Chen slashed his own soul, self-slashed, and simultaneously self-devoured with the Demon Heart Sword Body.
He slashed his own soul, devoured his own soul, transforming into endless combat power to enhance himself, as if cutting his own flesh to feed his starving self, seemingly foolish, yet capable of gaining immense combat power in a short time.
This was truly a demonic method.
In that instant, Hou Chen seemed to unleash an unparalleled strike, irresistible.
That brief moment of brilliance resembled the most splendid light left by a meteor streaking across the dark sky.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly laughed, and his body suddenly exploded with endless runes, displaying even stronger invincible combat power, exuding the natural aura of the Wanling Race’s Returning True Clan, that natural divine power.
Like a pillar of light reaching the heavens, it suddenly enveloped Jiang Li.
Jiang Li’s body grew infinitely larger, and in his hand appeared an ancient bow and arrow inscribed with Tai Chu Runes; the bow had no arrow.
But he drew the bow, and a golden energy condensed itself into an arrow—this was a bow and arrow formed from natural divine power.
This bow and arrow could pierce through the starry sky, completely unavoidable.
At that moment, Hou Chen’s killing move had just been unleashed, but it was intercepted and shattered with a "puff" by this divine power arrow.
Hou Chen’s body was suddenly pierced by an arrow, and endless mottled cracks appeared.
"Pfft--
Hou Chen coughed up fresh blood, his body suddenly shattered into pieces, his soul scattered, and in that instant, he fell from the void as if he had completely perished in this world.
The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and endless dark energy, like tear-laden blood rain, fell in the void.
The heavens and earth were wailing.
"Pfft--"
At this moment, the energy dissipated from Jiang Li’s body, and he gently spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing a fatigued side.
At this point, all cultivators were moved by such a brief yet terrifying battle.
But, just at this critical moment, the dead Hou Chen’s shattered body suddenly reassembled instantly, and then an ancient weapon carrying the phantom of twelve scythes attacked with a nearly Venerable-level strike at a bizarre angle.
Fatal Blow!
This change completely stunned everyone present, and even Jiang Li, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turned utterly pale as paper in an instant.
