Chapter 335: Chapter 331: The Method to Lure the Phantom Soul Beast King

"Illusion incarnate, this is a capability only possessed by the Illusion Beast King. Brother Ye Zhen, I was careless!" Caiyi’s voice carried a trace of self-blame.

"It’s nothing, it’s just an Illusion Beast King, right?"

Ye Zhen laughed heartily, his Profound Yang Sword suddenly unsheathed, and the Sword Qi howled as it emerged.

In an instant, the ghost monsters and 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 nothing more than this after all?"

In just a few breaths, he had slain over a hundred ghost monsters. Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised, but the next moment, his expression suddenly stiffened.

In just an instant, the ghost monsters he had just slain condensed out of thin air and attacked him again, being slain by Ye Zhen, and the cycle repeated endlessly.

Meanwhile, the attacks inflicted by these ghost monsters on Ye Zhen were very real; a claw strike sparked fiery sparks. There were too many of these monster ghosts; even Ye Zhen’s Sword Qi couldn’t keep up.

Every second, Ye Zhen could take down dozens of ghost monsters, but every second, dozens more would strike Ye Zhen.

What truly alarmed Ye Zhen was that when those monster attacks concentrated on one spot, they could even cause thin cracks on his Red Jade Spirit Armor.

Ye Zhen was in a rather dire situation, but Caiyi seemed to be at ease.

A faint five-colored light spread out like ripples; any ghost monster struck by this light screamed miserably, emitting black smoke before dissipating completely.

The five-colored light from Caiyi seemed to be the natural bane of these beasts, completely annihilating the ghost monsters; even the Blazing Flames, upon coming into contact with Caiyi’s five-colored glow, were utterly extinguished.

A thought struck Ye Zhen; it seemed only Divine Soul Power could completely eradicate these beings, yet Divine Soul Power was a weak area for him.

However, what could completely destroy these Divine Soul-incarnated monsters wasn’t just Divine Soul Power, but also—Thunder!

Specialized in breaking all evil spirits!

Amidst the thunderous booms, the Wind Cloud Sword Qi, like lightning, slashed out, each containing a trace of Thunder Light. Even though the Thunder Light was weak, when it struck those monster ghosts, it would cause them to emit a green smoke, wailing miserably as they gradually vanished, unable to resurrect on the spot.

For a time, the pressure on both Ye Zhen and Caiyi lessened significantly.

Wuu! Wuu! Wuu!

Once again, the agonizing howl of the Phantom Soul Beast King resounded, carrying a sinister and chilly aura, aiming separately at Ye Zhen and Caiyi.

The moment Ye Zhen’s gaze turned sharp, a tuft of five-colored Spiritual Light condensed above his forehead; instantly, the attack aiming at Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul dissipated right before the five-colored Spiritual Light.

Sensing the terrifying nature of the Divine Soul attack, Ye Zhen involuntarily broke out in cold sweat; this place was only manageable because of Caiyi’s presence, otherwise even ten Ye Zhens would fall here.

The scene before him shimmered again, and in the blink of an eye, Blazing Flames roared and magma erupted, transforming into a volcanic realm, with only a fire-free path leading to the distance, seemingly a safe route.

But both Ye Zhen and Caiyi could clearly see that the fire-free path led to a poisonous swamp, whereas the roaring Blazing Flames were actually safe.

For Ye Zhen, who possessed Sword Heart Enlightenment, and Caiyi, endowed with the five-colored Spiritual Light, illusions were useless.

Suddenly, the scene shimmered once again.

"Brother Ye Zhen, let’s go," Caiyi said as her figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Zhen, reaching out to him.

Ye Zhen’s expression was startled, and immediately his eyes sparkled with sharp light, "Audacious, to dare impersonate Caiyi!"

Amidst rolling thunder, Ye Zhen slashed with his sword. The figure of Caiyi before him turned into a wisp of blue smoke; not far off, the real Caiyi was also shattering an illusion of Ye Zhen with a tuft of five-colored Spiritual Light.

Subsequently, the Phantom Soul Beast King used every trick in the book, as if it could see right through their hearts, employing various illusions.

Unfortunately, it was dealing with Ye Zhen and Caiyi.

Anyone else might have fallen for these tricks long ago, but Caiyi was directly immune to these illusions, while Ye Zhen could see through them as long as he maintained his Sword Heart Enlightenment.

Wuu ao!

Suddenly, the Phantom Soul Beast King emitted a howl as if infuriated by embarrassment, and all illusions and phantom images instantly disappeared as the massive Divine Soul Waves exploded outward.

Ghost monsters materialized from the void, a stream of poisonous miasma and a bouquet of Blazing Flames, once again like a tide, surged towards Ye Zhen and Caiyi.

This time, the Phantom Soul Beast King seemed to have gone mad, continuously exploding with Divine Soul Power, and after Ye Zhen had annihilated several waves of these phantom beasts, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Caiyi, this creature must be running out of options, resorting to such a shameless method, trying to overwhelm us with its enormous Divine Soul Power!" Ye Zhen said.

"Certainly!"

Caiyi’s face had gone somewhat pale; her five-colored Spiritual Power had not fully recovered yet, and with the massive consumption, she was starting to falter.

Ye Zhen was in the same boat; his body’s Spiritual Power had depleted significantly. If it weren’t for swallowing several Rejuvenation Pills to replenish his strength, he might not have lasted much longer.

"If this continues, we’ll definitely be the ones to fall! By the way, Caiyi, what tier of Demon Beast is this Phantom Soul Beast King? How strong exactly is its Divine Soul Power?"

"Among Demon Beast Tiers, the Phantom Soul Beast is already an Upper-grade Earth Level Demon Beast. So the Phantom Soul Beast King, at the very least, is a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beast!"

"Heaven Rank!"

Ye Zhen inhaled sharply, not expecting the demon beast he had been battling most of the day to be a Heavenly Level Demon Beast. However, it wasn’t that the Heavenly Level Demon Beast was ineffective, but rather, it had encountered its nemesis, Caiyi.

Otherwise, not to mention Ye Zhen, even if several Peak Soul Sea Realm experts had been present, 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’m not sure about that! However, a Phantom Soul Beast of Upper-grade Earth Level has Divine Soul Power that 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 is not only cunning and ferocious, but its strategies also outmatch those of the seasoned elders by far in terms of viciousness.

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

With his Divine Sense slightly focused, Ye Zhen spread the power of Sword Heart Enlightenment to its limit, roughly within a radius of a kilometer, and that too with the aid of Sword Vein Divine Power.

Every movement within a kilometer radius in this secret mansion appeared 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 strong, its Divine Soul range can even cover more than ten kilometers, and the Snowdrift Illusion we encountered when we first arrived is a clear testament.

In other words, the Phantom Soul Beast King might be attacking us from ten kilometers away! And its Divine Soul Power is similar to ours, it is extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, not to mention we can’t even find its direction. Even if we did, by the time we get there, it would have already escaped!" Caiyi said.

"We can’t 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 skilled only in Divine Soul Power...."

At this point, Ye Zhen and Caiyi’s conversation had already turned into Secret Transmission.

"Caiyi, think hard, what does the Phantom Soul Beast King like, what could attract it?"

"What does the Phantom Soul Beast King like? The Phantom Soul Beast King loves to eat human brains and favors those imbued with powerful Divine Soul Power...." Caiyi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

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

"How to lure it?"

"Myself!"

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

"Brother Ye Zhen, it’s up to you now!" Without waiting for Ye Zhen to finish speaking, Caiyi suddenly retracted her five-colored light, abruptly slashed her wrist, and a fountain of crimson blood immediately gushed out. Ye Zhen could sense the blood flowing from Caiyi’s wrist not only radiated five-colored Spiritual Light but also contained astonishing Divine Soul Power.

Almost simultaneously, Caiyi’s figure softly collapsed onto the ground.

Forcing that five-colored Spiritual Power into the flowing blood seemed to take a massive toll on Caiyi, as she collapsed powerless in an instant.

However, Ye Zhen had little time to exclaim.

For almost at the instant that Caiyi’s blood, imbued with five-colored Spiritual Power, had spurted out, a joyous cooing sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire secret mansion.

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

Coo coo coo coo!

The next instant, cooing erupted from all around, and the Ghost Monster Beasts that had been attacking Ye Zhen and Caiyi simultaneously transformed into a monkey with a head bigger than its body and eyes the size of fists, all pouncing toward Caiyi.

In that moment, nearly tens of thousands of Phantom Soul Beast Kings simultaneously pounced on Caiyi from all directions.

Ye Zhen’s heart tightened abruptly, and his gaze immediately became resolute.

Inside of him, the Origin Sword Vein of the Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability shone to the extreme, all Divine Soul Power poured into the First Sword Vein, and he pushed the Sword Heart Enlightenment to its limit!

Then, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened!

With a step of Chasing Star Step, the golden Origin Sword Vein violently burst out, and a huge golden sword arc abruptly blazed through the void.

Woo....

A scream of terror, accompanied by a streak of Blood Light, abruptly came to a halt.

Almost simultaneously, thousands of Phantom Soul Beast Kings, including tens of thousands of others from all directions rushing towards Caiyi, vanished in that instant.

Watching this scene, Ye Zhen’s back went cold with sweat, had he been slightly off, the consequences....

For that reason, the moment Ye Zhen took action, it was with the most powerful Origin Sword Vein.

Almost at the same time, Ye Zhen’s figure swiftly flashed as he dove towards Caiyi. (To be continued.
