Chapter 837: Chapter 825: The Disappearance of King Zhenshan

Chi!

The distance between Ye Zhen and King Zhenshan was only about a thousand meters, not far at all, and a Divine Soul Attack is known for its speed, accuracy, and ferocity. Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was extremely fast.

When Ye Zhen’s cultivation was at the Innate Soul Light First Stage, within two kilometers, it was practically instantaneous. But now, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation, although only at the Innate Soul Light Fifth Stage, was incredibly strong with four-colored Innate Soul Light, and Ye Zhen himself wasn’t sure how many times his cultivation had improved.

In the past few days, while honing and refining the four-colored Innate Soul Light, Ye Zhen attempted several times, and his Soul Refining Divine Light, within ten miles, was always instantaneous!

In other words, regardless of his opponent, under normal circumstances, within ten miles, Ye Zhen’s Innate Soul Light was a sure hit!

Upon hearing Ye Zhen’s roar, King Zhenshan’s once proud expression abruptly froze, and his gaze towards Ye Zhen instantly turned extremely cold.

Then, he saw the strange light shooting from Ye Zhen’s eyes!

With King Zhenshan’s capability and insight, he naturally recognized it as a Divine Soul Attack immediately and understood clearly that, in these circumstances, faced with Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Attack using his Innate Soul Light at the Fifth Stage, he had no option but to take it head-on!

Yet, a trace of disdain still appeared at King Zhenshan’s mouth!

Among the kings of the Establishment Realm, with each advancement in cultivation, it would double that of before. The higher the cultivation, the larger the gap.

If an Establishment Realm King at the First Stage had a chance to challenge a king at the Second Stage, it’s merely a disparity of one and two!

However, in later stages, such as between an Establishment Realm King at the Sixth Stage and one at the Seventh Stage, although the cultivation disparity is just one stage, it’s not simply the difference between one and two, but rather between thirty-two and sixty-four.

This gap is almost insurmountable.

So, surpassing kings after reaching the Fifth Stage of the Establishment Realm is nearly impossible because even a one-stage gap is overwhelmingly significant.

The same rule applies to Divine Soul Cultivation!

After condensing Innate Soul Light, with each advancement in the Innate Soul Light, the cultivation would double that of before, and the disparity gets larger in later stages.

According to King Zhenshan, Ye Zhen assaulting him with a cultivation of Innate Soul Light at Fifth Stage is far too inferior compared to his own peak Seventh Stage.

Even an attack with Innate Soul Light at the Sixth Stage wouldn’t pose much of a threat unless it involved those transcending-grade Divine Soul Secret Techniques.

As for the attack from Ye Zhen at Innate Soul Light Fifth Stage, it felt like a tickle to him.

The gap was too big!

However, having mixed in Jianghu for a lifetime, it wasn’t easy for King Zhenshan to reach his current level, and caution had almost become ingrained in his bones.

Instinctively, or out of habit, his Divine Sense moved, and his eyes exploded with Innate Soul Light, a mass coming together into a shield-like entity rapidly appearing in front of him to meet Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light.

The clash of Divine Soul Power was incredibly fast, almost the instant King Zhenshan’s defense appeared, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light struck the densely consolidated mass of Innate Soul Light before his eyes.

At the same time, King Zhenshan’s disdainful yet icy voice rang out, "Refuse a toast, only to be punished with......"

The word ’die’ hadn’t escaped his lips yet when King Zhenshan’s expression suddenly transformed, becoming utterly horrified!

Because he discovered, the thick mass of Innate Soul Light instinctively placed before him was actually pierced through!

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s two strands of Soul Refining Divine Light pierced through.

And Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light had hardly any losses!

The next instant, King Zhenshan let out a miserable cry, and his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth simultaneously bled, his entire body trembled violently, and without warning, he plummeted from the sky!

Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was incredibly fast, simultaneously piercing through the mass of Innate Soul Light in front of King Zhenshan’s chest, and it directly blasted into King Zhenshan’s forehead.

Moreover, due to its tangible nature, even King Zhenshan’s forehead caved in a section.

This scene caused the martial artists watching from all directions to suddenly widen their eyes!

The shift in events was too swift, having just smiled and discussed before striking, and with a single strike, King Zhenshan was severely injured!

King Zhenshan plunged from the sky, but Ye Zhen’s attack didn’t cease.

The Soul Refining Divine Light from his eyes continually exploded outward, like a soul-reaping light, pursuing King Zhenshan’s plunging form.

Chi!

Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light struck King Zhenshan on the back of his head again, but this time, at the moment of impact, King Zhenshan’s form suddenly shivered slightly.

When the Soul Refining Divine Light struck the back of King Zhenshan’s head, his body remained motionless, while a colorful, lustrous black jade token exploded into fragments in an instant!

Ye Zhen didn’t recognize it, but it was undoubtedly King Zhenshan’s life-saving method!

Next moment, amidst his descent, he suddenly steadied himself and roared angrily!

"Little bastard... ah ah ah, this king will definitely skin you alive and tear you to pieces! I spent a hundred thousand High Grade Spirit Crystals to buy this Substitute Soul Puppet Talisman, damn it, this king will definitely make you... ah..."

The furious roar of King Zhenshan sounded terrifying, but it was interrupted by a heartrending scream.

This time, blood was no longer just oozing from his seven orifices, but spurting out, thumb-thick streams of blood simultaneously shot from King Zhenshan’s seven orifices.

Furthermore, the screams were extremely harrowing, harrowing enough to make a Martial Artist’s Divine Soul tremble!

Martial Artists who have had their Innate Divine Soul attacked would instantly recognize that sound, it was the scream emitted when the Innate Divine Soul was directly blasted apart in portions, a scream so intense that even the Innate Divine Soul trembled!

"Hmph, since that’s the case, I really can’t let you live!"

With a cold snort, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light chased after King Zhenshan relentlessly!

Facing a terrifying being like King Zhenshan, who was a Seventh Stage Establishment existence, either one doesn’t strike, or one must annihilate with full force, otherwise it will definitely become great trouble!

Just as Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was about to strike King Zhenshan’s head for the fourth time, King Zhenshan suddenly spat out a jet of pale golden Blood Arrow!

Inner Spiritual Power contained within it was a hundred times more profound than that within a Supreme Spirit Vein’s contained Spiritual Power, Origin Essence Blood of a Seventh Stage Establishment King!

Most astonishing is that within this pale golden Blood Arrow, there was actually dense Three-colored Innate Soul Light!

The moment this Blood Arrow spurted out, it transformed into a dense blood mist that completely enveloped King Zhenshan’s form, at the same time, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light struck upon that dense blood mist.

Normally, although Soul Refining Divine Light is a corporeal Divine Soul attack, solid defences can’t block Soul Refining Divine Light!

As previously when Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light struck King Zhenshan’s head, though it merely crushed his skull without penetrating it, the Soul Refining Divine Light still directly pierced into King Zhenshan’s Soul Sea, breaking through layer upon layer of Innate Soul Light defense, heavily piercing a portion of King Zhenshan’s Innate Divine Soul.

But the strange thing is, now, Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light was actually obstructed by this vast expanse of blood mist formed by Origin Essence Blood.

Moreover, under Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light assault, this vast blood mist and Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light simultaneously erupted with large sparks!

Ultimately, under Ye Zhen’s continuous attack, this blood mist formed by King Zhenshan’s Origin Essence Blood, after blocking Ye Zhen’s Soul Refining Divine Light for nearly the duration of two breaths, was pierced through and then scattered away!

But the strange thing is, at the center of that pale golden blood mist, King Zhenshan’s figure was nowhere to be seen!

Inside... empty!

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s nerves instantly tightened!

He signaled caution downwards, and his Divine Sense immediately gushed into the First Sword Vein like a torrent, urging Sword Heart Enlightenment to the extreme, meticulously sensing every tiny change in the surrounding void, not letting even a single speck of dust escape his notice.

At the same time, two portions of Divine Sense fell into the Green Mother Azure Light Mirror and the Thousand Vine, causing these two Spiritual Artifacts to be in an activated state, ready to protect Ye Zhen at any moment.

A large expanse of Divine Sense spread across the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in all directions, instantly, around Ye Zhen, three large earth-yellow shields spontaneously condensed into form, causing the Earth Spiritual Power in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to suddenly deplete.

As Earth Spiritual Power from a farther site rapidly replenished in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense continued operating, relying on powerful Divine Soul Power to compress these three large earth-yellow shields repeatedly, until each weighed tens of thousands of pounds, nearly reaching Ye Zhen’s current Divine Soul Power compression limit, then stopped!

This was a defensive Daoist School that Ye Zhen himself comprehended.

By harnessing the energy controlling the Earth Spiritual Power and strong Divine Soul Power, Ye Zhen could rapidly condense three Earth Spirit Shields with defensive capability rivaling Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

The prerequisite was sufficient Earth Spiritual Power contained within the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

And the time used, perhaps not even one-tenth of a breath.

Of course, other Martial Artists with powerful Divine Soul Power could also condense such spirit shields, but the time they would consume might be tenfold or even dozens of times more than Ye Zhen!

This is one of the great advantages of controlling Earth Spiritual Power.

And as long as there is some time available, one breath or even two breaths, Ye Zhen can significantly enhance the strength of these three Earth Spirit Shields, much like now.

With the strength of the Innate Soul Light Fifth Realm, condensed casting these Earth Spirit Shields, this is Ye Zhen’s current most formidable life-saving measure, its defensive power, definitely stronger than the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact Green Mother Azure Light Mirror!

Mainly because this King Zhenshan disappeared into thin air, causing Ye Zhen’s heart to suddenly tighten.

His physical form was too fragile.

If this King Zhenshan suddenly found him and launched a full-force attack, no matter how strong Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power is, he would be doomed, this is also the fundamental reason for Ye Zhen’s current extreme tension, instantly deploying all defensive capabilities!

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed, his Sword Heart Enlightenment in full force couldn’t detect King Zhenshan’s presence within a ten-mile radius?

With a thought, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power adhered to the ubiquitous Earth Spiritual Power within the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, spreading far and wide! (To be continued.
