Chapter 1138: 1138 Soul Shackles! (Chapter 2)

"Breaking through at this moment, for us, is ultimately not a good thing. Whether he succeeds or not, we must not let him have his wish."

The clan leaders from the ancient clans exchanged glances for a moment, all sharing the same thought.

Ye Qiu’s strength was already terrifying, even they were no match for him. If Ye Qiu were to break through further, how could it be tolerated?

Immediately, the Sun Clan and other ancient clans united to disrupt Ye Qiu’s breakthrough.

"Create a hostile environment for him, making it difficult for him to maintain his focus."

The clan leaders made up their minds and sent people to harass him.

Wu Yang and others noticed the commotion on this side; they would never let anyone disturb Ye Qiu.

"Courting death."

The formidable power burst forth, transforming into a storm that swept away those sneaky figures.

Though a few were no match for Ji Batian and were severely wounded by him, they were still Emperor-level. The Sun Clan, Guan Clan, and other ancient clans’ strength did not have martial artists of substantial caliber, making it very difficult to break through the defenses of Wu Yang and others.

Hoo...

Wu Yang’s attack swept through everything, instantly blowing those sneaky figures away.

Seeing this, the Sun Clan and others muttered angrily to themselves.

"Go again."

Following that, the ancient clans standing with the three major ancient clans continuously dispatched martial artists to harass, attempting to disrupt Ye Qiu’s seated breakthrough.

In the sky.

The battle between the Beast God and Ji Batian had exchanged into another style, without glorious big moves or overwhelmingly powerful techniques.

Both of them were striking each other with fists and feet, battling from east to west, and then from west to east in mid-air.

Seemingly not intense, the exchange was indeed perilous in their hearts because their fight had reached another level, incomprehensible to those of lower realms.

Each move implied the grand laws of heaven and earth.

This type of attack didn’t need a stunning exterior, presenting in the most natural form.

The little girl used her seemingly delicate fists to obliterate the void, Ji Batian quickly responded and countered.

Both mighty figures, thousands of exchanges occurred every breath, transforming into mere points in mid-air, unable to distinguish their figures as their movements were too swift to be captured.

They didn’t break the void again, exposing the infinitely dark cosmic space before everyone, as either of them using such techniques might draw the entire ancient land into darkness.

"Dare to battle above the Ninth Heaven?" The little girl said softly.

Ji Batian, although half-step into the Void-breaking realm, had an overwhelmingly refined martial path, making him difficult to handle. Even for her, the Beast God, defeating him wasn’t easy.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Ji Batian showed no fear, feeling exhilarated fighting the Beast God. Besides her, figures like Wu Yang and the owner of the library could not force him to expend his full strength; only facing this deity among ancient beasts could he unleash his utmost power.

Swoosh swoosh.

Their figures disappeared once more from everyone’s sight, not even leaving a black dot, as they swiftly soared to the high altitudes.

How high is the sky?

For ordinary people, it might be as high as they can see, boundless and endless, assuming the visible horizon as the limit.

But that’s not the case.

The sky above holds nine layers.

Each layer is more dangerous than the last.

Generally speaking, no one dares to come to such heights because the highest places have no Spiritual Energy, filled with celestial typhoon winds.

The celestial typhoon is not merely a casual wind, even a martial artist at mythic realm risks death when blown by it. Those at human king realm dare only to tread the first few layers because above them, the celestial typhoon grows more violent, capable of scattering a martial artist’s flesh.

The Beast God and Ji Batian arrived at the first heaven, where the celestial typhoon was just a gentle breeze. Had their aura not guarded their clothing, it would have been destroyed instantly.

Why did the little girl transfer the battlefield here? Because it’s perilous and harsh enough, allowing her to strike without worrying much about injuring the people below.

It didn’t matter to Ji Batian; fighting the Beast God gave him profound insights. Although both stood at the pinnacle, they tread different paths. Ji Batian felt he could progress further through frequent skirmishes with the Beast God.

"Perhaps, through this, I can truly enter the Void-breaking realm," Ji Batian’s gaze flickered. Though perilous, dueling with powerful opponents significantly tempered one’s own skills, especially with Ji Batian just reaching the half-step Void-breaking realm, the Beast God’s appearance solidified his martial path further.

"You want to use me for your breakthrough?" How could the Beast God not see through Ji Batian’s thoughts? Her gaze shifted, striking once more.

The two fought within the first heaven, suppressing even the celestial typhoon, eventually shifting to the second heaven where the winds grow fiercer, yet the force of their attacks did not wane.

The battlefield changed again—third heaven, fourth heaven, fifth heaven...

Reaching the Ninth Heaven, where the surroundings were engulfed by celestial typhoon storms, resembling tornadoes roaming the highest skies. Who would have thought that the seemingly calm sky was at its peak, constantly dancing with winds that could destroy a city at any moment.

Here, both the Beast God and Ji Batian became cautious because if they accidentally fell into the typhoon storms, even with their overwhelming power, they’d struggle to endure.

Swoosh.

Their gazes clashed, the pair took action once more.

Above the Ninth Heaven, a supreme martial contest resumed.

...

On the ground.

Ye Qiu focused entirely on breaking through to the Human King realm, yet numerous shackles within his body made it difficult to break through.

His blood boiled like scalding water, releasing heat.

However, this impact wasn’t forceful enough.

Ye Qiu’s mind was self-reflecting; standing at the peak of late mythic realm, he long possessed the capability to reach a higher realm, where exactly was he falling short, unable to breach in one fell swoop?

"While my spiritual power hasn’t reached the pinnacle, the use of ice rule power should be enough to support my breakthrough."

"During the breakthrough to mythic realm, I shattered the shackles of blood. What is the shackle for the Human King realm?"

In reflecting and observing everything within his body, Ye Qiu searched for a breakthrough opportunity.

Yet, after searching for a while, Ye Qiu still had no clue; what was the key to breaking the Human King realm?

As Ye Qiu pondered restlessly, suddenly his gaze changed.

"Human King... Human King, could it be that to achieve Human King, the soul must be transformed as the shackle?"

Blood, organs, bones...

Transforming the ordinary into extraordinary, realizing a complete transformation from within is the hallmark of entering mythic realm.

But this transformation wasn’t complete; although the physical form has undergone thorough alteration, the soul remains at its original level.

Ye Qiu suddenly understood; he was lacking in the transformation of the soul.

"Overcoming the shackles of blood, organs, and bones involves a rebirth of the flesh; overcoming the shackles of the soul must be even more difficult to endure," Ye Qiu mused to himself. He could imagine achieving soul transformation wouldn’t be an easy journey.

Nevertheless, he wouldn’t give up. Despite the arduous path ahead, he was determined to proceed.

"Soul shackle, break for me!"
