Chapter 902: Chapter 70: Seizing the Soul Spring
"Damn, this Three Pure Ones Technique energy transformation by Jiang Tianxin is awesome, really incredible! It’s already half as good as Master, isn’t it?"
Liu Haoxin praised through a voice transmission.
Even under such circumstances, after the two appeared, they remained vigilant and still took on the appearance of the Jiang Family.
"Half? Not even a thousandth. Let’s not talk, let’s act quickly and seize the Life Soul Spring. Are you sure the Xuanyuan Soul Energy within you can suppress the Life Soul Spring’s fluctuation? If it can, I’ll fully execute the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill to devour, and you transfer instantly to your Soul Sea. We’ll work together to make the Life Soul Spring’s aura vanish in an instant!
Otherwise, if we fail, we won’t just fail to seize the Soul Spring; we’ll get trapped here."
Hou Chen said excitedly.
He was very excited and thrilled.
This trick, ’Diversion,’ was used skillfully by Liu Haoxin; truly worthy of being the Master’s disciple, indeed inherited some of the Master’s true teachings.
"Of course there’s no problem. This little Soul Spring, can’t my Emperor Blood Soul Energy suppress it? Let me tell you, when the time comes, we’ll do this... and then mercilessly calculate this ’Cutting Nipples’."
Liu Haoxin proposed.
"This point, is exactly what I was thinking."
"Alright, let’s do it!"
...
Liu Haoxin and Hou Chen cleared all life within the Life God Tomb, then cautiously made their way through the endless treacherous remnants to enter the core of the Life Soul Spring.
Just as they anticipated, the Life Soul Spring was not abundant, rather, it was scarce.
Milky white, akin to core magma, yet extremely viscous.
"Why not take the Life Soul Array with us as well, it’s not that big anyway."
Hou Chen suggested.
"Wow, you’re not leaving anything behind! Hmm hmm, but I like it, let’s move!"
"Get ready!"
"Understand."
"Sizzle——"
Hou Chen unleashed all his Soul Power, erupted a terrifying Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Sky Divine Skill, encompassing this mystical Divine Spring along with its surrounding Array Patterns Void.
"Boom—Kha!"
The entire Life God Tomb seemed about to explode spectacularly, suddenly trembled violently, followed by endless tremors as if a catastrophic annihilation was imminent.
"Quick!"
The massive rebound force almost made Hou Chen vomit blood; the terrifying backlash and suppression force nearly overwhelmed the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill.
Right then, Liu Haoxin suddenly acted, a formidable Soul Sea like a golden Soul Pond instantly engulfed the entire Life Soul Spring within, while endless golden Emperor Qi pressed downward like sealing a well with its cap.
"Puh——"
Even Liu Haoxin’s Divine Soul trembled greatly, a mouthful of blood surged to his lips but was forcibly swallowed back.
Both knew that if the blood was spat out, they’d be exposed.
Thus, despite being wounded simultaneously, both forcibly endured.
"Holy crap, so powerful, nearly capsized, let’s go!"
Liu Haoxin was greatly shocked, feeling as if his body was suppressing an eruptive volcano, this alarm was no trivial matter.
Hou Chen understood as well; they almost instantly fled like a ray of light towards the entrance of the Divine Tomb.
"Stop——"
Hou Chen contemplated, then executed a Three Pure Ones Technique, transforming into a concealed self, with three streams of Soul Energy stacked upon each other hidden at the entrance’s light source, quietly waiting, while the two hid on the other side of this concealed Hou Chen.
The two silently waited.
...
Gles, who had forcibly slaughtered various cultivators, unleashed all his strength, almost annihilating nearly five thousand fleeing cultivators.
However, there were still thousands of cultivators not completely killed, but these cultivators were already enveloped and locked by his strong Soul Sensing and were completely unable to escape.
However, suddenly, Gles staggered, his face immediately changed dramatically!
"Not good, it’s a trap, they’ve seized the Life Soul Spring!"
Gles’ face finally changed dramatically, immediately disregarding the fleeing cultivators, instantly rushing towards the Life God Tomb like a stream of light.
"Sizzle——"
The Gate of Divine Tomb suddenly opened, Gles seemed to sense something, abruptly charged at the concealed white light cultivator.
In that instant, the white light cultivator suddenly vanished, appearing kilometers outside, fleeing as if through Instantaneous Movement.
"Hmm?"
Gles frowned deeply, once again sealing off the entire Life Soul Hall, but immediately chased after the white light.
"Go!"
As Gles pursued the escaping cultivator, Liu Haoxin and Hou Chen transformed into streams of light, swiftly escaping.
"How long can that Three Pure Ones Technique of yours last?" Liu Haoxin asked worriedly.
"With three Bloodline Avatars, the second leapfrogs on the first, the third leapfrogs on the second, giving ’Cutting Nipples’ an ’Instantaneous Movement’ illusion, and then I infused a bit of Life Soul Spring aura into the transformation, so it should hold for several breaths.
But Gles is too strong, once he crushes my Avatar, he’ll immediately realize he’s been tricked again and pursue us."
"Then, there’s no choice! Jiang Tianxin, you’ll have to take the fall this time!"
Hearing Hou Chen’s explanation, Liu Haoxin roughly estimated that it could delay for just over ten breaths, thus immediately activated a massive amount of Xuanyuan Emperor Qi within him, growing his body immensely, seemingly on sensing, instantly whisking Hou Chen away, while a giant finger violently poked out.
"Puchi—"
As if a sky-vaulting giant finger punctured the void.
Armed with Xuan Yuan Emperor’s Energy and having learned part of Zhou Yan’s Void Profound Meaning, Liu Haoxin’s speed was simply astonishing now.
Already aware of the harsh cultivation environment, Liu Haoxin had mastered the art of escape to the extreme, also deliberately learning the Void Dao. After imbuing himself with the Xuan Yuan Emperor’s Energy, despite not becoming a Venerable instantly, he gained a terrifying enhancement.
The Xuan Yuan Emperor’s Energy, after all, is of a nearly immortal level of soul power, with unimaginably high enhancement.
And with a finger empowered by the Xuan Yuan Emperor’s Energy, even a casual poke is enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.
Sure enough, Gles, who was frantically chasing, was caught off guard by this finger, hastily defending but still got blasted away.
Gles stopped, blood trickling from his mouth—partly out of anger, partly due to the powerful counterforce.
He stared fixedly at the white dot that Liu Haoxin had become, his eyes narrowing sharply.
No longer in a rush, he coldly took out a golden bow, then shot two beams of terrifying soul power from his eyes, forming an exceptionally strong arrow.
Putting the arrow to bow, and shooting it.
"Swish—"
The arrow broke through the sky, like an immortal destructive strike.
As Liu Haoxin fled, his eyes narrowed instantly.
"Puchi—"
That arrow seemed to almost penetrate his body instantly, even the Xuan Yuan Emperor’s Energy covering his body almost got shattered.
"Pfft—"
Liu Haoxin staggered, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet was stopped by Hou Chen.
Hou Chen was shocked, nearly losing his mind and wanting to rush back to fight, but Liu Haoxin grabbed him, saying in a deep voice, "Go, I’m fine!"
"You, you—"
Hou Chen was utterly shocked, while Liu Haoxin, still fleeing, tremblingly tore a crystal skull fragment from his back and said, "This thing I brought from the Outer Domain, it’s from a certain race after their death. My master collected it in the past, and I kept a few pieces on me, never thought its defense would be so shocking. That strike that almost killed me didn’t work!"
The blood-stained crystal skull fragment suddenly emitted a faint, mysteriously complex crystal-like sheen. The runes on the sheen started to flow lively, as if a once-broken throne has now regained some divinity, but neither Hou Chen nor Liu Haoxin noticed this.
The two of them sprinted all the way, finally breaking out of the Silent Annihilation Battlefield, leaving many escaping Cultivators far behind them.
"Did you lock on it?"
Liu Haoxin asked.
"No."
Hou Chen replied confidently.
"Good."
Liu Haoxin took out an Array Plate, and the two of them instantly transformed into a stream of light and left through the Array Plate.
Their direction was precisely toward the Jiang family’s location.
But in the next moment, elsewhere on a barren land, Liu Haoxin and Hou Chen resumed their original appearances, casually flying on swords with laughter.
This method was a fake escape, and if someone pursued them, they’d only be led to the Jiang family’s location.
The two hadn’t flown far when Gles suddenly seemed frenzied, pursuing all the Cultivators who had entered the Silent Annihilation Battlefield, and caught up to them again.
At this moment, Liu Haoxin and Hou Chen exchanged helpless and bitter smiles. No matter how much they planned, they hadn’t anticipated Gles being so crazy.
"This is a calamity out of nowhere. He clearly wants to kill witnesses, and we just bumped into it."
The two were quite helpless, but could only speed up their flying escape, not daring to use any identity-revealing techniques like the Xuan Yuan Emperor’s energy.
After all, they had ’no connection’ with those Cultivators who stole the Life Soul Spring.
At this moment, the void trembled, as the Evil King and Zhou Gucheng suddenly appeared, saying, "Hmm? You are here? Have you seen Zhao Xiaoxiao? I followed her aura here but don’t know where to find her."
"Evil King Elder? Quick, leave, Gles lost the Life Soul Spring and has gone mad!"
Hou Chen exclaimed.
"Hmm?"
The Evil King’s expression turned grim, his eyes sharp, and soon he understood the situation. Right then, he enveloped Hou Chen and Liu Haoxin with the void, turning into a streak of black light and escaping quickly.
However, Gles arrived too fast.
"Zizi—"
The void trembled, as Gles stood before the four of them, blocking the Evil King’s path.
"Involved in the Silent Annihilation Battlefield?"
Gles’s gaze was icy cold.
"Do you think I, the Evil King, would covet the Life Soul Spring?"
The Evil King said coldly.
"Yes!"
Gles’s gaze was ice-cold, his eyes full of killing intent. When staring at the Evil King, Hou Chen, Liu Haoxin, and Zhou Gucheng, his gaze involuntarily narrowed.
The talents of these people made him feel a sense of crisis.
Therefore, even if they didn’t seize the Life Soul Spring, Gles would not spare them upon encountering them this time.
"Then, let’s fight. It’s said that Gles stands tall and firm, but I, the Evil King, am like a penned pig; I refuse to believe I’m inferior to you."
The Evil King said coldly.
