Chapter 334: Chapter 331 **The Method of the Phantom Soul Beast King**

"An Illusion made real; this power belongs only to the Illusion Beast King. Brother Ye Zhen, it was my oversight!" Caiyi’s voice carried a tone of self-blame.

"It’s fine, it’s just an Illusion Beast King, right?"

Ye Zhen laughed heartily, and his Profound Yang Sword suddenly unsheathed, unleashing a howl of Sword Qi.

In an instant, the ghost monster beasts and the blazing flames were all shattered by Ye Zhen’s Sword Qi, and as for the incoming poisonous miasma, a swipe of his palm wind dispersed it.

"Is this Illusion Beast King just this much?"

In the span of a few breaths, Ye Zhen had slain over a hundred ghost monster beasts, slightly astonished. However, in the very next moment, Ye Zhen’s expression abruptly froze.

In just an instant, the ghost monster beasts he had just slain were reassembled out of thin air and launched an assault on him again, only to be slain by Ye Zhen once more, resulting in an endless cycle.

The attacks of the ghost monster beasts on Ye Zhen were very real, with a swipe of a claw sending sparks flying. There were too many of these monster beasts, so many that Ye Zhen’s Sword Qi couldn’t keep up with them.

In each instant, Ye Zhen managed to kill dozens of ghost monster beasts, but every moment, dozens more hit him.

Most alarming for Ye Zhen was when the attacks of these ghost monster beasts concentrated on a specific spot, they could even create fine cracks on Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor.

Ye Zhen was somewhat disheveled, but Caiyi appeared much more relaxed on her side.

A subtle, five-colored light spread out like ripples. Any ghost monster beast struck by the five-colored light would emit a miserable shriek, smoke black smoke, and then dissipate.

Caiyi’s Five-colored Light seemed to be the nemesis of these monster beasts, utterly obliterating them, even the blazing flames upon contact with her Five-colored Light were completely annihilated.

Ye Zhen thought to himself that only Divine Soul Power could completely annihilate these beings, but Divine Soul Power was his weakness.

However, not only Divine Soul Power could thoroughly annihilate these physical manifestations of divine beings, but also—thunder!

The killer of all evil spirits!

Amid booming thunder, slashes of Wind Cloud Sword Qi, like lightning, erupted, each containing a wisp of Thunder Light. Though faint, this wisp of Thunder Light, when striking those ghost monster beasts, made them emit green smoke, wailing miserably as they gradually vanished, never to reform.

For a time, the pressure on Ye Zhen and Caiyi greatly diminished.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The mournful howl of the Phantom Soul Beast King sounded again, and within that piercing cry, an invisible wave of Divine Soul, bearing a chilling aura, targeted both Ye Zhen and Caiyi.

In the moment Ye Zhen’s gaze hardened, a cluster of Five-colored Spiritual Light condensed above his forehead. Instantly, the Divine Soul Attack aimed at Ye Zhen dissipated before the Five-colored Spiritual Light.

Sensing the terror of that Divine Soul Attack, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. This place would be perilous without Caiyi; even ten Ye Zhens together would fall here.

Suddenly, the scenery before them changed again to a realm of rolling flames and spewing magma, transformed into a volcanic wasteland with seemingly a safe trail free of fire leading into the distance.

Yet, Ye Zhen and Caiyi could clearly see that the fire-free trail led directly to a poisonous swamp, whereas the rolling flames held no danger.

For Ye Zhen, who had attained Sword Heart Enlightenment, and Caiyi, possessed by Five-colored Spiritual Light, illusions were useless.

Suddenly, the scenery changed again.

"Brother Ye Zhen, let’s go!"

Caiyi suddenly appeared beside Ye Zhen, reaching out to pull him.

Ye Zhen was momentarily stunned, then his eyes gleamed with sharp light, "Audacious, how dare you impersonate Caiyi!"

Amid thundering sounds, Ye Zhen slashed with his sword, and the Caiyi before him turned into a wisp of green smoke. Not far away, the real Caiyi was also shattering Ye Zhen’s illusion with a burst of Five-colored Spiritual Light.

Following that, the Phantom Soul Beast King used every trick in the book, as if it could see into their hearts, employing various illusions.

Unfortunately, it encountered Ye Zhen and Caiyi.

Any other person might have been deceived long ago, but Caiyi was immune to these illusions, while Ye Zhen could see through them with his Sword Heart Enlightenment.

Woao!

Suddenly, the Phantom Soul Beast King let out a roar like being enraged out of humiliation, and all illusions and phantoms instantly disappeared as an overwhelming wave of Divine Soul Energy erupted.

One after another, ghost monster beasts materialized from thin air, along with waves of poisonous miasma and bursts of blazing flames, once again swarming towards Ye Zhen and Caiyi like a tide.

This time, the Phantom Soul Beast King seemed to go mad, continuously exploding with Divine Soul Power and conjuring those ghost monster beasts. After repeatedly annihilating several waves of conjured beasts, Ye Zhen’s expression drastically turned grave.

"Caiyi, this creature must be trying to exhaust us with its countless Divine Soul Power by resorting to these shameless tactics," Ye Zhen said.

"That must be it!"

Caiyi’s face had already turned somewhat pale. Her Five-colored Spiritual Power hadn’t fully recovered, and with the massive consumption, she was almost at her limit.

Not just Caiyi, but Ye Zhen was in the same boat. A large portion of his Spiritual Power had been depleted, and had it not been for the few Rejuvenation Pills he took, he might not have lasted much longer.

"If this continues, we’ll definitely be the ones to meet our end! By the way, Caiyi, just what tier is this Phantom Soul Beast King? How strong is its Divine Soul Power?"

"In the Demon Beast Tier, the Phantom Soul Beast is already an Upper-grade Earth Level beast, so the Phantom Soul Beast King, at the very least, belongs to the Heavenly Level Lower Grade!"

"Heaven Rank!"

Ye Zhen took a sharp breath, never imagining that the demon beast he had been fighting for most of the day was actually a Heavenly Level Demon Beast. However, it wasn’t that the Heavenly Level Demon Beast was weak, but rather that it had encountered its nemesis, Caiyi.

Otherwise, not to mention Ye Zhen, even if several Peak Soul Sea Realm experts had come, they would have been doomed long ago.

"If it came down to a battle of attrition, how strong would its Divine Soul Power be?"

"Brother Ye Zhen, I am not sure about that! However, the Divine Soul Power of an Upper-grade Earth Level Phantom Soul Beast is more than five times that of a Peak Soul Sea Realm expert, so the Phantom Soul Beast King...."

Ye Zhen’s face changed instantly.

This Phantom Soul Beast King was not only cunning and ferocious, but its strategies for killing Ye Zhen and Caiyi were absolutely more vicious than those old timers.

"Brother Ye Zhen, we absolutely cannot outlast it in a battle of attrition...."

With a focus of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen spread the power of Sword Heart Enlightenment to its limit, about a kilometer in range, and that was with the assistance of Sword Vein Divine Power.

Everything within a kilometer range of this secret mansion emerged in Ye Zhen’s mind.

"Caiyi, what does the Phantom Soul Beast King look like?"

"It looks a bit like a monkey, with a very large head and bulging eyes. Brother Ye Zhen, are you thinking of hunting the Phantom Soul Beast King? That’s impossible."

"Why?"

"The Divine Soul Power of the Phantom Soul Beast King is extremely powerful, even capable of covering tens of thousands of meters. The Snowdrift Illusion we initially fell into is proof of this.

In other words, the Phantom Soul Beast King might be attacking us from tens of thousands of meters away right now! Moreover, its Divine Soul Power is similar to ours, very sensitive to changes in the surroundings. Not only can we not determine its direction, but even if we did, by the time we get there, it will have already escaped!" said Caiyi.

"We might not be able to find it, but we can try to make it come to us. As long as it enters the range of my Sword Heart Enlightenment, a beast that primarily excels in Divine Soul Power...."

As he said these words, Ye Zhen and Caiyi’s conversation had already switched to Secret Transmission.

"Caiyi, think carefully, what does the Phantom Soul Beast King like, what can attract it?"

"What does the Phantom Soul Beast King like? It likes to eat human brains and also likes those that contain strong Divine Soul Power...." Caiyi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Ye Zhen, I know how to lure the Phantom Soul Beast King now?"

"How can you lure it?"

"Myself!"

"Yourself, what do you mean? That won’t do...."

"Brother Ye Zhen, it’s up to you now!" Before Ye Zhen could finish, Caiyi suddenly retracted her five-colored light and, in a swift motion, slit her wrist. Bright red blood immediately gushed out, and Ye Zhen could sense that the blood flowing from Caiyi’s wrist was not only radiant with Five-colored Spiritual Light but also contained astonishing Divine Soul Power.

Almost simultaneously, Caiyi’s form softly collapsed to the ground.

Forcing that Five-colored Spiritual Power into her blood to flow out seemed to take a great toll on Caiyi, leaving her instantly powerless and collapsed.

However, Ye Zhen did not have much time to exclaim.

For, almost at the moment when Caiyi’s blood rich in Five-colored Spiritual Power sprayed out, a joyous hoot suddenly echoed throughout the secret mansion.

That sound, just like a child seeing their favorite snack or toy.

Hoot hoot hoot!

The very next moment, hoots rose all around, and the Ghost Monster Beasts that had been besieging Ye Zhen and Caiyi transformed into a monkey with a head larger than its body and eyes the size of fists, lunging at Caiyi from all directions.

In that instant, almost tens of thousands of Phantom Soul Beast Kings lunged at Caiyi simultaneously from all directions.

Ye Zhen’s heart tightened abruptly, his gaze becoming resolute.

Inside his body, the Origin Sword Vein of the Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability shone to its utmost, all the Divine Soul Power channeling into the First Sword Vein, Sword Heart Enlightenment pushed to its limit by Ye Zhen!

Indeed, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened!

Taking a step with Chasing Star Step, the golden Origin Sword Vein burst forth, and a massive golden sword arc flashed across the void.

Hoot....

A terrified shrill scream, accompanied by a streak of Blood Light, abruptly ended.

Almost simultaneously, the thousands of Phantom Soul Beast Kings that had reached near Caiyi and were unleashing their claws, including tens of thousands of other Phantom Soul Beast Kings from all directions lunging at Caiyi, all dissipated in that moment.

Watching this scene, a coldness swept over Ye Zhen’s back; had the margin been even slightly off, the consequences...

Also for this reason, when Ye Zhen made his move, it was with the most powerful Origin Sword Vein.

Almost at the same time, Ye Zhen’s form flashed rapidly, lunging towards Caiyi.(To be continued.
