Chapter 609: Chapter 602: Epiphany in the Decisive Battle (Second Update)

Ye Zhen’s gaze, in an instant, plunged entirely into the collapsing Purple Jade Seal.

The fragments of the Purple Jade Seal, shattered by the Red Flame Sky Net, suddenly presented Ye Zhen with a whole new realm!

Shattered Jade!

The Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Scripture, the Shattered Jade Realm, which Ye Zhen had been struggling to understand for the past few months without any progress, suddenly made headway. The disintegration of the Purple Jade Seal provided Ye Zhen with the most direct perception.

The consecutive shattering of seven Purple Jade Seals, although Ye Zhen had not caught every detail with his eyes, was fully reflected in his Divine Sense, with the tiniest aspects of the shattering process mirrored in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, combined with the mental method of the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Scripture, Ye Zhen suddenly had an enlightenment!

The breaking of jade signifies spirit, eruption, and making the ultimate sacrifice in the face of failure!

In an instant, the difficult points of the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Realm from the Shattered Jade Scripture that Ye Zhen had been pondering became clear, suddenly becoming transparent.

Fully enlightened!

Only then did Ye Zhen realize that the Shattered Jade Scripture actually had only three stages, and Shattered Jade was merely a state of mind, or rather, a technique.

Sizzle!

The scent of hair curling and scorching from the intense heat brought Ye Zhen back from the world of Shattered Jade to reality. The Red Flame Sky Net, which had completely shattered the Purple Jade Seal, was rapidly closing in on Ye Zhen!

A Demon Cloud Fruit silently appeared in Ye Zhen’s palm. However, this was just a treasure Ye Zhen would resort to for saving his life in a dire situation. Until now, Ye Zhen still intended to confront the Red Flame Sky Net head-on!

The reason for using the Demon Cloud Fruit was mainly because Ye Zhen had just comprehended the Shattered Jade Stage of the Shattered Jade Scripture. He had never deployed it, and with the first attempt, he did not know whether it would be successful. Using the Demon Cloud Fruit was just as a precaution.

With a thought, Ye Zhen retracted the Spiritual Power from his back and silently plunged towards the ground below and towards the Red Flame Sky Net, while another Purple Jade Seal flew out silently from his chest!

Time was too short, and the Red Flame Sky Net was too close, so close that Ye Zhen could only fall towards one side of the Red Flame Sky Net to fight for time!

Just as the Purple Jade Seal was about to fly out, turbulent waves suddenly erupted in Ye Zhen’s calm Soul Sea, and an enigmatic Divine Soul Power suddenly poured into the Purple Jade Seal.

Almost at the same time, the newly launched Purple Jade Seal underwent a miraculous transformation. Without any external force approaching, the square Purple Jade Seal cracked in all directions and caved in on itself!

It felt as if a complete jade seal instantaneously shattered into thousands of pieces, all imploding inwardly as if every piece of shattered jade was being compressed. Then, a terrifying power fluctuation burst forth in an instant!

"Shattered Jade, suppress!"

The dim purple light suddenly burst forth like moonlight. Wherever the light reached, everything came to a standstill, and the terrifying power instantly squeezed the air out of the space, causing the air to emit crisp exploding sounds.

In an instant, the power of the Shattered Jade Seal seemed to fill the entire space above, and the six Red Flame Sky Nets that had just rushed over to encircle and annihilate Ye Zhen from the front, center, and top simultaneously halted their momentum!

At this moment, Jiao Xi’s eyes bulged to the extreme, filled with disbelief.

Yet after a moment, a hint of anticipation emerged. The Red Flame Sky Net below Ye Zhen was only a few meters away. If it could wrap around him, Ye Zhen would undoubtedly die under the Red Flame Sky Net!

However, at the moment of Jiao Xi’s great anticipation, an expression of utter shock appeared on his face, the one controlling the Red Flame Sky Net.

Just as the Red Flame Sky Net below was about to snare Ye Zhen, a Purple Jade Seal, constantly collapsing inwardly while emitting purple light, suddenly emerged behind Ye Zhen.

"Suppress!"

After Ye Zhen’s urgent shout, the Red Flame Sky Net, less than half a meter from Ye Zhen, was forcefully held in place by the suppressing force of the Shattered Jade Seal, immovable despite Jiao Xi’s frantic efforts!

Not only that, but Ye Zhen’s body suddenly sank, and the glow from the Shattered Jade Seal on his back burst forth. It directly suppressed the last Red Flame Sky Net, quickly dragging it towards the ground.

However, the look of urgency on Ye Zhen’s face grew more and more severe, his features rapidly reddening.

In the sky, the Shattered Jade Seal that was holding back the other six Red Flame Sky Nets began to tremble wildly, on the verge of collapse.

Although Ye Zhen had a moment of enlightenment about the Shattered Jade Scripture’s Fourth Stage, the Shattered Jade Realm, during the battle, which greatly increased the power of the Shattered Jade Seal, such a surge in power had its limits.

Before, a single Purple Jade Seal could suppress one Red Flame Sky Net for about four or five breaths before shattering.

Now, a single Shattered Jade Seal had to suppress six Red Flame Sky Nets at once. Holding on for a single breath was already quite terrifying!

"Burst!"

In the sky, the glow of the Shattered Jade Seal on the verge of shattering suddenly gathered and exploded into a mass of purple light.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The explosion of the Shattered Jade Seal was like lighting a string of firecrackers all at once, and the other six Red Flame Sky Nets detonated at the same time!

Boom!

A horrifying shockwave rippled through the air in circles, spreading in all directions!

"Damn it!"

A look of unspeakable horror flashed in Jiao Xi’s eyes, as he gave up control of the last Red Flame Sky Net and bolted away like a rabbit towards the distance.

Facing such a terrifying shockwave, even he dared not confront it head-on!

Following Jiao Xi’s loss of control, the Red Flame Sky Net that had been behind Ye Zhen was directly suppressed into nothingness by the Shattered Jade Seal behind him.

But what was terrifying was that the shockwave, which seemed capable of destroying everything, also rushed furiously towards Ye Zhen. The only consolation Ye Zhen had was that he had managed to pull away a little distance earlier; otherwise, the Demon Cloud Fruit in his hand might have been wasted.

Even so, the Shattered Jade Seal behind Ye Zhen flashed violently, positioning itself in front of Ye Zhen’s chest.

"Suppress!"

With a shout, the sweeping shockwave that was approaching like waves had a brief pause. Huge Spirit Wings instantly materialized on his back. With a slight flutter, a streak of purple light flashed across the sky.

In the very next moment, even the Shattered Jade Seal could not withstand the onslaught of the crushing shockwave and disintegrated instantly.

In the sky, the purple light faded away, and Jiao Xi’s eyes filled with shock as he stared coldly at Ye Zhen, who stood proudly in the heavens.

He could not believe that Ye Zhen had managed to escape from his ultimate Divine Power Martial Skill.

Since he had perfected the Red Flame Sky Net, this was the fifth time he used it against an opponent; the previous four had all met their deaths, but Ye Zhen had survived.

Even more inconceivable was how Ye Zhen could calmly escape after triggering such a terrifying explosion.

In his shock, Jiao Xi’s Spiritual Power surged around him, and with a light flick of his fingers, another Red Flame Sky Net was hurled towards Ye Zhen. Despite his astonishment, Jiao Xi could tell that Ye Zhen’s encounter with his Red Flame Sky Net was extremely forced and perilously close.

Moreover, as a veteran of countless battles, Jiao Xi naturally would not give up after one failed attack!

"Hmph, here it comes again!"

This time, facing Jiao Xi’s Red Flame Sky Net, Ye Zhen had become completely composed!

A Shattered Jade Seal suddenly flew out from his chest, heading far out to meet the Red Flame Sky Net, and with a light shout from Ye Zhen, the Shattered Jade Seal and Red Flame Sky Net burst into a ball of fire!

"Now take a hit from me!"

With a thought, an immense aura suddenly emerged, and a purple jade finger appeared from the void, swiftly pointing at Jiao Xi. The moment it was released, Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein trembled abruptly.

Jiao Xi’s expression froze as the aura emitted from this Floating Cloud Finger was even more terrifying than any he’d encountered before.

Acting cautiously, a Red Flame Light Shield appeared in front of Jiao Xi.

Hisss!

The relentlessly collapsing Floating Cloud Finger punctured a large hole in the Red Flame Light Shield and then viciously poked Jiao Xi in the chest.

In an instant, the glow from Jiao Xi’s Protective Spirit Armor dimmed to its limits, nearly shattering, and it was only with the frantic urging of his Divine Sense that he managed to stabilize the Protective Spirit Armor.

A look of shock abruptly surfaced on Jiao Xi’s face.

What did this mean?

It meant that the power of Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger had surpassed his Red Flame Light Shield, and Jiao Xi’s Red Flame Light Shield was a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skill.

Fear filled Jiao Xi’s eyes!

The tide of battle started to change at this moment!

From Jiao Xi initially dominating over Ye Zhen, the fight had now become evenly matched, and it might even be said that Ye Zhen was slightly overpowering Jiao Xi.

The main issue was the sheer terror of Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger; it was unavoidable and had to be taken head-on!

What was most important was that an endless stream of secret techniques from Ye Zhen—Geomagnetic Field, Silver Line Flash, Heavenly Thunder of Fright—kept coming, causing Jiao Xi to struggle in his responses.

On the other hand, Jiao Xi seemed to be running out of tricks, counting one Body Skill Divine Power Martial Skill, Ye Zhen had already witnessed four of Jiao Xi’s Divine Skills.

With Jiao Xi’s Cultivation at the Fifth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he had at most five Divine Skills.

At that moment, Ye Zhen was relentlessly pressing forward, driving Jiao Xi back step by step!

Suddenly, Ye Zhen felt a gentle ripple in his Soul Sea, and he released a swift Floating Cloud Finger. Jiao Ran, who had just stealthily attacked Ye Zhen with a Divine Soul Attack, suddenly became panicked in dealing with this sudden Floating Cloud Finger!

"Now’s my chance!"

With a thought, the Sword Heart of the First Sword Vein resonated again with a long hum and a burst of golden light!

Heart Sword!

Whoosh!

A hundred-meter long Golden Sword Light slashed down at Jiao Xi, and the terrifying sight caused even a flicker of panic in Jiao Xi’s eyes.

"Die!"

"Dream on if you think you can kill me! A seasoned warrior of the Vein Forging Realm is not as simple as you imagine!"

A fierce smile suddenly appeared on Jiao Xi’s lips as he swiftly took out a fiery red pill and swallowed it. "Heard of the Blazing Flame Self-Sacrifice Pill? It doubles one’s Spiritual Power Cultivation. Hahaha, Ye Zhen, you should feel proud that you’ve pushed me to use this pill!"

Amidst his laughter, visibly blazing flames burst out from around Jiao Xi, and the aura he emitted swelled at an unprecedented rate!

"Break for me!"

Bang Bang!

It was like swatting a fly—a terrifying fire Great Fire Flame Handprint was suddenly unleashed, and with a single palm, it scattered a large portion of Ye Zhen’s hundred-meter Heart Sword Sword Gang!

Hiss!

A sharp intake of breath came from Ye Zhen, and the Spiritual Power aura emitted from Jiao Xi continued to surge, becoming more and more frightening!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen made his decision!

"Hmph, Jiao Xi, do you think you’re the only one with a life-saving skill?"

With a cold snort, the Blood Shadow Spear, surrounded by blood light, abruptly appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand, and almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s boundless Divine Sense unhesitatingly plunged into the First Sword Vein, rushing towards that segment of purple light!
