Chapter 859: Chapter 440: Sweeping Everything Before It
“It's a Soul Attack!”
“Bai Feng is also a Semi-Divine Saint Heir, whose soul and will have both entered the Pseudo-God Level, and he possesses a Protective Soul Treasure. Logically, he should easily withstand a normal Pseudo-God's Soul Attack.”
“Xu Yuan, having just broken through to Semi-Divine, how could his Soul Attack be so powerful?” The True Gods present on the great hall's platform all felt rather astonished.
The might of Li Yuan's Soul Attack, in the eyes of these True Gods, was not worth mentioning; they themselves could wipe out a Peak of Pseudo-God with a casual Soul Attack… But such an attack coming from a newly advanced Semi-Divine took on a completely different meaning.
“It's an Illusionary Realm! Not a direct soul annihilation.”
“From the information I checked earlier, I knew Xu Yuan had a strong Soul Will, but given his young age, he could at most be of the Semi-Divine Saint Heir level (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God)… But now it seems that his Soul Will might well rival that of the Peak of Pseudo-God.”
“Having a strong Soul Will is just the foundation, but it doesn't mean it can be transformed into a Soul Attack… Most Peak Pseudo-God Level beings wouldn't have such powerful Soul Attacks,” the True Gods communicated swiftly.
Ultimately, they all looked towards Chi Yang True God, who was standing at the very front.
“Everything you've mentioned, I already know.”
Chi Yang True God slowly said: “A single thought making Bai Feng succumb, this indicates Xu Yuan possesses astonishing talent in the Soul Path… perhaps even higher than his Law Talent.”
Talent!
The seven True Gods managed the Divine Fire Hall; their mission was to unearth more young prodigies for Jue Xing Ancient City in order to provide them with focused cultivation.
“But this is only the first battle.”
“No rush, let's watch a bit longer,” said Chi Yang True God slowly: “If such Soul methods are not just a fluke but the norm, I will naturally report it.”
If the seven True Gods still appeared indifferent, then the thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divines watching in the Temple were thoroughly shocked by the sight of Li Yuan in his black robe.
“One move, and he defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng?”
“Bai Feng, he is a Saint Heir! What exactly happened just now?”
“Could it be a Soul Attack? But how could Xu Yuan's Soul Attack be so terrifying?” Countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divines were filled with shock.
This scene completely shattered their perceptions.
In their imagination, a clash between top-tier Semi-Divines should involve them using powerful Star Techniques and engaging in fierce combat… not as effortless as it was for Xu Yuan.
It was as if he had defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng in a casual conversation.
“Xu Yuan's Soul Attack, as expected!” Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, though inconspicuous among the thousands of Semi-Divines, exchanged glances, both slightly emotional.
Initially, they had both witnessed Li Yuan's feat of traversing the Nine Sounds Realm; clearly, five years later, Li Yuan's Soul methods had become even more terrifying.
…”Is this the confidence of Brother Xu Yuan?” Yue Shan Semi-Divine and Yang Di were both deeply shaken as well.
They couldn't help but recall Xu Yuan's words from earlier.
Top hundred? If Bai Feng couldn't withstand Xu Yuan's Soul Attack, how many others could?
“Yue Shan, are you confident?” Yang Di suddenly asked.
“Me?” Yue Shan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “No confidence.”
He truly lacked confidence.
Not just Yue Shan, He Feng, Yan Dong, and the other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs who hadn't yet joined the battle, all felt an unprecedented wariness.
Among the sixteen Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, aside from Jing Kui who was in a league of his own, the strength of the other fifteen was actually very close, all at the standard of Level 54 Pseudo-God… This was nearly the limit of strength a Semi-Divine could achieve.
“Xu Yuan's second battle is about to start,” Yue Shan suddenly pointed at one of the Void Arenas.
Within one of the Void Arenas.
“Me?” The Semi-Divine Bai Feng had just regained consciousness, his eyes still carrying a hint of bewilderment.
But he soon became fully alert.
“It's an Illusionary Realm! A Soul Attack, I've been hit,” Bai Feng Semi-Divine realized in horror, followed by a wave of despair, “I lost? I lost in the first battle?”
Did I also lose to Xu Yuan?
But he knew he had lost fairly; the Illusionary Realm Xu Yuan deployed was too terrifying, too real.
“I've lost one match.”
“If I want to get into the top twenty, it's problematic. I must win against Dong Pan to have a glimmer of hope,” Bai Feng Semi-Divine understood his situation clearly.
In this kind of round battle, losing one match can be very difficult.
If he can't even enter the top twenty, the position of Saint Heir might not be secure, and various resources and treatments would plummet.
“Just do my best,” Bai Feng Semi-Divine gritted his teeth.
In another Void Arena.
“Xu Yuan, my name is Shao Li. Though the chances are slim that I'm your match, I will also fight with all my might,” said the young man in dark green Combat Armor in a deep voice.
Inside the Void Arena, it is impossible to watch the scenes of other arenas.
“Good.”
“Then make your move,” said Li Yuan with a smile, “Otherwise, once I make a move, you're going to lose.”
The young man in dark green Combat Armor's eyes hardened, a trace of anger flashing through them.
The Semi-Divine in the hall already knew Li Yuan's methods, but the Semi-Divine within each Void Arena did not.
“Boom”
The moment the young man in dark green Combat Armor moved, he invoked his Domain, and vast flames came into existence out of thin air in the void.
A giant Divine Sword appeared in his hands, and with a howl, he charged toward Li Yuan.
With a flash of the sword light, the young man in dark green Combat Armor swiftly closed in on Li Yuan.
“Coming?” Li Yuan watched him, ready to unleash a Soul Attack, seeing no further need to hold back.
Li Yuan, too, wished to test his methods against more powerful opponents.
Whir!
With a thought, Li Yuan unleashed invisible ripples of the soul, which instantly permeated the spiritual world of the young man in dark green Combat Armor as layer upon layer of Illusionary Realm appeared.
“Huh?” The young man in dark green Combat Armor, sensing something amiss, suddenly found his eyes fiercely agitated.
His consciousness was sinking!
“Rumble!” At the thought of Li Yuan, he deployed the Heaven and Earth River Domain, creating a wildly tumultuous sweep across the entire hall, eventually engulfing the young man in dark green Combat Armor.
Eliminated!
If even Bai Feng, who is ranked just over tenth in Points, can't withstand Li Yuan's Soul Attack, how could he stand a chance?
“I won.” Li Yuan found it very easy.
“After repeated tempering by the 'Six Realms of Illusion' over five years, my soul has been tested countless times and has fallen into despair countless times, which has honed it to an extraordinary level,” Li Yuan reflected inwardly, “However, there are still numerous imperfections in the Illusionary Realm formed by invoking his innermost desires.”
Time passed.
The arena constantly transformed, and Li Yuan swiftly encountered one Semi-Divine Reserve Member after another.
These opponents from the same group had different attitudes.
But no matter their Points ranking or how strong they are… all have succumbed to Li Yuan's Illusionary Realm, and following the expansion of Li Yuan's Domain, with the nine Yellow Dragons howling, he easily defeated one demigod after another.
If it were a life-and-death fight, it would actually not be easy to kill these demigods because their material Defense would be astonishing.
Once a powerful individual encounters a fatal danger, the possibility of becoming alert skyrockets.
But the key point is.
In such battles, both sides are enveloped in a layer of 'Guardian Spirit Light', and once the energy contained within the Spirit Light dwindles dramatically.
Victory!
Victory! Victory!
Each confrontation, Li Yuan's tactics were the same from beginning to end.
First, he made the opponents fall into an illusion with a Soul Attack.
Second, before the opponents could wake up, he would use his Domain to break through their Protective Spirit Light.
Simple tactics, yet no one could stop Li Yuan's winning streak, and there wasn't even one who forced him to use his weapons.
Inside the Divine Fire Hall, thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were shocked by the scene.
What did they see?
Powerful demigods, ranked within the top one thousand in Points, were practically lining up to give Xu Yuan victories.
“It's a Soul Attack!”
“Unrivaled in power”
“Xu Yuan's Soul Attack is terrifying. Purely in terms of Soul Attack, he might well be ranked first,” all the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were sighing in shock, as they were witnessing such powerful Soul Attacks from a demigod for the first time.
“Group one, Jing Kui is definitely the first, with a 72-match winning streak already.”
“In group two, both Xu Yuan and Dong Pan are on a winning streak. No one can block their pace, Bai Feng has already lost to Dong Pan… Who will be the first in group two out of these two?” Many Flying Heaven Semi-Divine had this thought crossing their minds.
“I think Xu Yuan will win; his Soul Attack is too formidable.”
“Can't say for sure! Dong Pan is not inferior to Bai Feng. Before Jing Kui's rise, Dong Pan has contended for the top spot on the Semi-Divine List multiple times… and his Soul Will is also extremely strong.”
“Right! Dong Pan might be able to withstand it. As long as he awakens in an instant, Xu Yuan will undoubtedly be defeated.” Everyone was looking forward to the upcoming pinnacle showdown of group two.
Whoever wins will laugh till the end.
The spectators didn't have to wait too long.
When Li Yuan completed his 86th consecutive victory and Dong Pan completed his 71st, both appeared simultaneously in a Void Arena.
Clad in a black robe, Li Yuan, upon seeing his opponent across the arena wearing an earth-yellow robe, also took on a serious expression.
Dong Pan Semi-Divine!
Ranked third on the Semi-Divine List and the greatest challenge Li Yuan faced in contending for first place in group two.
“Brother Dong Pan,” greeted Li Yuan with a smile.
Whoosh!
With his stout figure, Dong Pan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan with interest and spoke in a deep voice, “Xu Yuan, you must have hidden your strength… otherwise, you could not have won consecutive matches faster than me.”
Combatants in the Void Arena cannot see other arena battles… but they can see the Points ranking.
“Try it and you'll see,” Li Yuan replied with a smile, feeling very calm inside.
A moment later.
“Boom!” “Boom!” The moment Dong Pan Semi-Divine took action, his body expanded to ten meters tall.
“Hum~”
An invisible fluctuation had already swept over, invading the Spiritual World of Dong Pan Semi-Divine instantly.
“Soul Attack? So that's how it is.” Dong Pan Semi-Divine now understood why Xu Yuan was able to achieve consecutive victories so quickly.
How could a Soul Attack not be quick?
“Wake up!”
“Wake up!” Dong Pan Semi-Divine roared within his heart, his Soul Will as strong as a Pseudo-God's, desperately resisting the Soul Attack from Li Yuan… with the illusion world in front of him shaking violently.
Boom!
The Illusionary World completely collapsed!
“Such an Illusionary trick is not as strong as I had imagined,” Dong Pan Semi-Divine was awake now, seemingly unaffected much by Li Yuan's Soul Attack.
At a glance, Dong Pan Semi-Divine could see the earth-yellow airflow surging from all directions.
Heaven and Earth River Domain!!
“Suppress!” Dong Pan Semi-Divine's eyes turned icy as chains manifested around him, drawing upon the terrifying might of heaven and earth, suppressing everything.
Rumbling~ Numerous Divine Artifact Chains, like great serpents, whipped and dispersed the nine Yellow Dragons, and even permeating towards Li Yuan at the center of the Heaven and Earth River Domain.
Overwhelmingly unstoppable.
“Defeated!” Dong Pan Semi-Divine's figure moved, charging towards Li Yuan like a rampaging War God.
Li Yuan, although displaying incredibly strong abilities, Dong Pan Semi-Divine was confident that it would take only a few exchanges to utterly defeat Li Yuan.
But just as Dong Pan Semi-Divine was about to reach Li Yuan in an instant.
“Dong Pan.”
“You're going to lose.” Li Yuan, encircled by hefty air currents, corners of his mouth revealing an enigmatic smile.
Dong Pan Semi-Divine was stunned just for a moment, then suddenly felt severe pain in his brain and body. He saw the world before him shattering like broken glass, with Xu Yuan nearby also disintegrating.
“I'm still in the Illusionary Realm? Is this multiple layers of illusions stacked?” Dong Pan Semi-Divine was anxious and angry, finally realizing what was happening.
But it was already too late!
Whoosh!
In the real world, on the Void Arena, rumbling~ the frenzied nine Yellow Dragons were charging towards the struggling and eyes-closed Dong Pan Semi-Divine.
“Rumbling~” Equivalent to the attack of nine Initial Rank Pseudo-God fighters, with one move, the Protective Spirit Light of Dong Pan Semi-Divine was completely shattered.
“Illusion!”
“First, I stir up the deep confidence in your heart, making you feel that you've broken free from the illusion and that you have already won,” Li Yuan stood there, murmuring as he watched the area where Dong Pan Semi-Divine had vanished: “In confidence, your vigilance towards danger drops significantly.”
“Which is often when you're caught off guard.”
“Dual layers of illusion? If the art of illusion flows to perfection, making the real seem illusory, and the illusory almost real, it confuses people to not distinguish between reality and illusion,” Li Yuan's heart was very calm.
This battle, Dong Pan Semi-Divine, defeated!!
Xu Yuan, victorious!
This battle has also largely represented that, with great probability, the first place in group two will fall into Li Yuan's hands.
Only one step away from breaking into the top ten.
