Chapter 1118: Chapter 748: Divine Soil Merciful Hand (Part 2)
The most bizarre thing is, this darkness is pure black. His perception, once integrated into it, gets directly swallowed, so he cannot clearly ascertain what exactly is going on in the darkness.
At this moment, Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong planned to leave Jingxi City, luring their opponents into the void to kill them. What they didn’t know was that Xiang Beifei had been following alongside them, manipulating the Candle Dragon Eye to move the center of darkness towards the void!
The Candle Dragon Eye is very strange; it shields others and itself, thus Xiang Beifei also gets limited. However, after he disrupted Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong, he too enhanced his defenses to withstand the aftermath of their clashing powers.
Xiang Beifei, now at the Inquiry Dao Realm, has a deeper understanding and control of the Candle Dragon Eye. He can ascertain the approximate position of his opponents using the power and momentum of the spiritual power shockwave hitting him. When he realized the opponents were trying to move into the void, he immediately understood Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong’s plan.
As the opponents intended to withdraw, how could he stop them?
And so, he followed upwards!
Above, Wu Kexi saw a mass of moving darkness rushing towards him. He had no idea what this darkness harbored but instantly thought that the opponents intended to use the perceptual shielding of the darkness to escape!
"Trying to escape? You’ll have to get past me first!"
Wu Kexi sneered coldly and immediately injected a powerful surge of spiritual power into the "Endless Houtu" formation, instantly weaving mighty brown formations in the void. These formations, comprised of breath soil, converged, being twice as robust as the land structure of Jingxi City!
Recognizing the order, the other six Inquiry Dao guards immediately infused strong spiritual power into the formation!
Buzz!
The formation suddenly vibrated, resonating with sharp, far-reaching tremors. These conjoined breaths of soil, with Wu Kexi as the focal point, concentrated all their power onto him!
"Divine Soil Merciful Hand!"
Wu Kexi shouted powerily,!
Rumble!
In the void, a gigantic hand stretched thousands of feet, covering the sky with its brilliance, as if tearing a rift in the void.
This hand, merged with the secret arts of breath soil, wielded the power of late ascension realm!
Boom!
The Divine Soil Merciful Hand pounded down, entering the darkness of the Candle Dragon Eye. Wu Kexi didn’t need to bother with what lurked in the darkness; he executed an all-encompassing attack!
The Divine Soil Merciful Hand’s greatest feature is its ability to differentiate friend from foe: merciless to enemies, merciful to allies!
Everyone entering the breath soil had been meticulously logged, marked with the Dao Palace’s insignia, meaning that when this palm descended, ordinary folks wouldn’t be harmed, but those without the Dao Palace mark would be doomed!
Wu Kexi also knew that Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were likely within the darkness, but they bore the Dao Palace marks, rendering the Divine Soil Merciful Hand ineffective on them, which assured him.
Little did he know, Xiang Beifei had long been aware of this secret.
Li Qianluo had informed him of the peculiarities of the Divine Soil Merciful Hand early on. This girl was powerful and knowledgeable in many of the Dao Palace’s capabilities, which prepared Xiang Beifei well.
He utilized Yin and Yang primal energy to mimic the Dao Palace mark, camouflaging Li Qianluo and Chu Xi, nullifying the Divine Soil Merciful Hand’s effect on them.
However, it was a different story when it struck Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong!
Using the aftermath of Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong’s battle, Xiang Beifei determined their positions, and when the Divine Soil Merciful Hand struck, he had long since gathered Yin and Yang primal energy to disrupt the breath of the two above them!
This meant the Dao Palace marks on Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were rendered invalid, making them unmarked invaders to the Divine Soil Merciful Hand!
Boom! Boom!
The Divine Soil Merciful Hand crashed into the darkness. Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong, thinking their marks remained intact, weren’t concerned that the hand would harm them, neglecting defense. Consequently, the terrifying large hand struck them directly!
Pfft!
In the midst of their fierce confrontation, Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong never expected the Divine Soil Merciful Hand to be effective against them. The blow hit them hard, causing them to copiously spit blood, their souls shaken, their bodies crumbling, suffering severe injuries!
"This is the Divine Soil Merciful Hand! How could it wound us?"
Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were utterly shocked!
The blow nearly halved their lives!
They couldn’t fathom why they were hit by the Divine Soil Merciful Hand. Even if Wu Kexi were blind, he wouldn’t let it harm them. Where did it go wrong?
Yet, it wasn’t just them who suffered grave injuries, but all Dao Palace experts in the city!
Because the Divine Soil Merciful Hand was a group attack, interfering with Wu Yumen’s and Wu Qiuhong’s Dao Palace marks required real-time interference by Xiang Beifei, whereas others didn’t need such effort.
Upon learning of the "Divine Soil Merciful Hand" from Li Qianluo, Xiang Beifei located all Dao Palace experts. Barring the three domain-level elders of Wu Yumen, the highest cultivation level of the others was Inquiry Dao Realm, easily stripping them of their Dao Palace marks.
Thus, as the Divine Soil Merciful Hand slammed into the already-ruined Jingxi City, the Yi Tribe cultivators within remained unscathed, but all Dao Palace experts were mercilessly torn asunder by the attack!
Jingxi City housed only three surviving Inquiry Dao Realm Dao Palace experts.
Deliberately arranged by Xiang Beifei, he realized Ge Hengzi had cultivated three Dao Stones’ Dao embryos, allowing him to control Ge Hengzi’s mind. Sparing Ge Hengzi to serve as an internal agent for the Dao Palace.
Keeping two other Inquiry Dao Realm experts was mainly to avert suspicion that might arise if only Ge Hengzi survived, potentially branding him a Human Race spy, but with two others living, the suspicion wouldn’t solely fall on Ge Hengzi.
The remaining fifty-one Immortal Realm Dao Palace experts, along with another Inquiry Dao Realm expert, perished under the Divine Soil Merciful Hand!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Xiaohei moved swiftly through the gathering, and the Dao Palace experts hit by the Divine Soil Merciful Hand had their souls collected by him without exception. A substantial gain of spiritual power crystals, Xiang Beifei was utterly ruthless against Dao Palace experts!
——
"Two people were severely injured by the Divine Soil Merciful Hand!"
Wu Kexi’s spirit surged!
When he unleashed the Divine Soil Merciful Hand, the entire formation spun with it. Its coverage extended beyond the darkness of the Candle Dragon Eye, directly tied to him. Unaware of the inner workings within, he felt an obstruction within the darkness.
With millennia of battle experience, he analyzed this obstruction, unequivocally confirming that two individuals were struck!
Moreover, they were two mid-ascension realm experts!
"Excellent! Two mid-ascension realm Human Race infiltrators caught completely!"
Wu Kexi’s spirit surged again, unleashing another palm strike, forcefully directing it once more into the darkness!
Pfft! Pfft!
Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong, already injured by the first strike, lost half their lives, never anticipating another strike from the Divine Soil Merciful Hand. Two hits with late ascension realm power on them rendered them instantly combat ineffective!
"Wu Kexi, stop! Fool! It’s us!"
Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong roared furiously, almost hating Wu Kexi to death!
But, in the Candle Dragon Eye, all perception was gone, rendering them incapable of conveying any sound to Wu Kexi!
Wu Kexi felt joyful again!
"Great! Great! These two Human Race scoundrels should be mostly dead now! Hahaha! Such a grand achievement!"
Wu Kexi felt an overwhelming surge in his excitement, having caught two ascension realm Human Race experts!
