Chapter 135: Enslaving a Super Genius of the Meng Yao Zu
Lu Qingshan is now a high-tier Marquis, and the top-tier movement technique he created has improved greatly over the past hundred thousand years, so his instantaneous burst speed is naturally extremely astonishing.
Therefore, after leaving the flying ship, Lu Qingshan, clad in a purple-gold battle armor, appeared on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
A powerful Law Domain spread out directly, causing the surrounding space to become somewhat distorted.
"Our allied reinforcements have arrived!"
"It's a human powerhouse!"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's figure, the strong ones of the Lingxi Squad all revealed excited expressions on their faces.
After all, if Lu Qingshan had arrived any later, their squad would probably have been unable to hold on.
And a powerhouse who dares to come rescue them under the siege of two peak-Marquis alien-race enemies is absolutely the most reliable ally!
"This human powerhouse looks very unfamiliar—I actually haven't heard any information about him!"
"He should be a human powerhouse who just came to adventure on this Black Bee Continent!"
"I wonder how his strength is—can he deal with those two peak-Marquis Meng Yao Zu powerhouses?"
"When Big Brother sent the request for help, he had already mentioned the enemies' strength. Since this human powerhouse dares to come support us, he must at least be a peak Marquis!"
The members of the Lingxi Squad transmitted their voices with immense excitement.
But the leading Lingxi Marquis felt somewhat worried in his heart!
After all, when he had sent out the distress signal earlier, he had not mentioned that among those two peak-Marquis alien-race enemies there was a Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake!
If this human-race powerhouse considered that he had concealed information and withdrew, then their squad would surely fall back into a desperate situation.
Moreover, even if this human powerhouse truly were a peak-Marquis powerhouse, joining forces with their squad would still make it very difficult to gain the upper hand in battle, unless the other party had stepped into the Hei Fengwang level!
On the other side…
After seeing Lu Qingshan, clad in purple-gold battle armor, appear, the many powerhouses on the Meng Yao Zu side also revealed Solemn expressions on their faces.
After all, on this perilous extraterritorial battlefield, without powerful strength, one would never go to support allies of the same faction!
To these Meng Yao Zu powerhouses, since Lu Qingshan dared to come support the Lingxi Squad, he naturally had the confidence to deal with them.
"My lord, it's an unfamiliar human-race powerhouse!"
The peak-Marquis Mo Luo Hou race powerhouse quickly transmitted to that Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake: "What should we do?"
"Test his strength first!"
The Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake quickly transmitted back: "Among the human Hei Fengwang powerhouses I know of, there is no information about this person at all. He might just be a peak Marquis!"
"Later, you go test the opponent's strength first. If he's not easy to deal with, we'll withdraw first and go look for other prey!"
"Yes, my lord!" The peak-Marquis Mo Luo Hou quickly transmitted back, then began instructing another high-tier Marquis Mo Luo Hou to take over his battle shortly.
"Meng Yao Zu trash, running into me means you're out of luck!" A thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, and then he dove straight down.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan also instantly ignited his immortal divine power.
The allies he was supporting this time were all powerhouses of the Yan Ying race, so naturally he would not carefully rescue them the way he would treat powerhouses of the human race itself.
Therefore, the moment he arrived, he ignited his immortal divine power, without much concern over whether the Meng Yao Zu powerhouses would likewise ignite their immortal divine power to kill the Yan Ying race powerhouses.
And upon seeing Lu Qingshan suddenly ignite his immortal divine power, the Yan Ying race powerhouses became extremely excited one after another.
"Big Brother, why did the human-race ally suddenly ignite his immortal divine power!"
"Nonsense! It must be to support us!"
"The human-race ally is way too loyal!"
"The Old Ancestor was right! The human race really is our most steadfast ally!"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan ignite his immortal divine power, the members of the Lingxi Squad not only did not worry about their own safety, but instead all felt that Lu Qingshan was simply too loyal!
After all, even among powerhouses of the same race, not everyone is willing to ignite their immortal divine power and risk their life for an ally!
And their squad had been complete strangers to Lu Qingshan before. Lu Qingshan, merely because of their distress signal, was willing to ignite his immortal divine power and risk his life to support them—how could they not be excited and moved?
The leading Lingxi Marquis was even more excited at this moment!
He truly had not expected that this ally who had rushed to support not only did not blame him for concealing the information about the Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake, but instead ignited his immortal divine power the moment he arrived.
Thinking of this, the Lingxi Marquis also excitedly transmitted to his teammates: "Brothers, don't let the human-race ally fight alone—we'll go all out too!"
The moment his words fell…
Boom!
The Lingxi Marquis instantly ignited his immortal divine power once again.
Boom! Boom!
Seeing this, the other two Marquis-level Yan Ying race powerhouses also instantly began igniting their immortal divine power.
In an instant, the momentum of the human faction's powerhouses surged greatly, and they actually completely suppressed the Demon Yao Clan side in momentum in an instant!
"Madmen!"
"These madmen!"
Seeing that Lu Qingshan and all the Yan Ying race immortals had ignited their immortal divine power, the powerhouses on the Meng Yao Zu side were all dumbfounded.
One must know that previously, the Yan Ying race powerhouses had only begun igniting their immortal divine power after falling into a desperate situation, and even then they only ignited a little before stopping.
But now…
The human faction reinforcements had just arrived, and the two sides hadn't even clashed yet—how had things developed to this point?
But since the powerhouses on the human faction side had already begun igniting their immortal divine power, the many powerhouses on the Demon Yao Clan faction side naturally could not be careless!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Among the eight immortal gods on the Meng Yao Zu side, apart from the leading Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake, the rest were all of the Mo Luo Hou race—one peak Marquis, one high-tier Marquis, and two initial-tier Marquises.
At this moment, apart from the Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake, the five Marquis-level immortals of the Mo Luo Hou race also all ignited their immortal divine power.
"Let's first try to soul-kill that peak-Marquis Mo Luo Hou!" Lu Qingshan, who had ignited his immortal divine power, thought to himself.
In his view, that leading Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent was undoubtedly the strongest, and combined with its innate talent in souls, even a soul master at the Fengwang level might not be able to kill it, so naturally he would not treat it as his first target.
The Mo Luo Hou clan's talent was rather ordinary, so that peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou was naturally the best target for him to test the might of the "Soul-Slaying Sword," which had just stepped into the top tier.
Moreover, once he killed that Mo Luo Hou through a soul attack, whether he and the Lingxi Hou and other strong ones of the Yan Ying clan would next fight or retreat, everything would go more smoothly.
Lu Qingshan thought of this in an instant...
Hum!
The formless, intangible virtualized divine power instantly seeped into the body of that peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou.
"Not good, it's a soul attack!"
After sensing Lu Qingshan's virtualized immortal divine power, the peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou quickly wrapped its own soul completely in protection after burning its immortal divine power, and even split off a portion of divine power to shroud the nearby Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent.
But even so, Lu Qingshan's virtualized immortal divine power still instantly seeped into the Mo Luo Hou's body, then transformed into a swarm of virtualized small swords, seeking to slash its soul to pieces!
"Ancestral soul, guard!"
A virtualized Mo Luo Hou figure instantly appeared within this Mo Luo Hou's body.
"Roar!"
The moment that Mo Luo Hou phantom appeared within the peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou's body, it instantly roared furiously at the countless virtualized small swords, as if intending to shatter them outright.
But just then, those virtualized small swords faintly formed some kind of connection, then unexpectedly gathered into a single illusory giant sword, which immediately slashed diagonally toward that Mo Luo Hou phantom.
Puchi!
Although that Mo Luo Hou phantom's might was boundless, and it was also straining to resist Lu Qingshan's soul attack, in the end it was still directly cleaved in two by that illusory giant sword.
And as the bisected Mo Luo Hou phantom attempted to gather itself back together and recover, that illusory giant sword unexpectedly transformed once more into a swarm of illusory small swords, which then directly slashed at the soul imprint within every trace of immortal divine power inside the Mo Luo Hou's immortal body.
Hum!
Under the assault of those illusory small swords, the soul imprints within the Mo Luo Hou's divine power instantly vanished completely, then the Mo Luo Hou's divine body stiffened outright, and then utterly lost all signs of life.
This soul attack looked rather drawn-out, but in reality it had taken place in only an instant.
"What!"
"Dead?"
"A peak Fenghou strong one, just died like that?"
Seeing the peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou clan's immortal aura instantly dissipate, the members of the Lingxi Squad, who had originally been bracing themselves for a bitter fight, were all dumbfounded.
One must remember, that was a peak Fenghou!
Even an ordinary Fengwang strong one, even in a state of burning immortal divine power, could not so easily slay a peak Fenghou strong one!
"It's a soul attack! It must absolutely be a soul attack!"
"That's right, this human strong one is absolutely an illusion master of incomparably powerful strength!"
The members of the Lingxi Squad now all grew incomparably excited.
And Lingxi Hou himself also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!
If it were an ordinary Fengwang immortal, it certainly could not do anything to the Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent with its enormous divine body, but an illusion master would be a completely different story!
As everyone knew, strong ones who possessed enormous divine bodies feared soul attacks the most!
But precisely because of this, they also put the most effort into soul defense!
"A Fengwang-level soul master!"
On the other side, upon seeing Lu Qingshan slay the peak Fenghou Mo Luo Hou through a soul attack, that Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent's countenance changed drastically.
That's right!
At present, Lu Qingshan's soul attack had indeed just barely stepped into the elementary Fengwang tier.
In terms of foundation, Lu Qingshan was currently equivalent to a high-tier Fenghou with three thousand times a Realm Lord's power, a considerable gap from an elementary Fengwang who could erupt with ten thousand times a Realm Lord's power;
In terms of law comprehension, the gap between Lu Qingshan, who had only cleared the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and an elementary Fengwang who could clear the eighteenth level was even greater;
In terms of secret arts, they were roughly equal, or perhaps Lu Qingshan was even slightly superior—after all, many illusion master strong ones who had just broken through to elementary Fengwang also needed to spend a very long time before they could create top-tier secret arts;
In terms of will, Lu Qingshan was the superior one! Even an elementary Fengwang illusion master with relatively strong will would generally only be equivalent to a high-tier Fengwang, and very few could rival a peak Fengwang, whereas Lu Qingshan's will had long since been able to rival a peak Fengwang, naturally making him the superior!
The four combined also allowed Lu Qingshan's current soul attack to rival that of a relatively weak elementary Fengwang illusion master!
"Didn't they say soul masters were rare on the extraterritorial battlefield?"
"How is it that not long after I just arrived at the extraterritorial battlefield, I've already run into such a terrifying strong one?"
The Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent was now extremely panicked in its heart, and quickly sent out numerous distress signals through the communicator in its world ring.
"I am on the Black Bee Continent, my coordinates are..."
"I have encountered a Fengwang-level illusion master from the human faction, requesting rescue, requesting rescue!"
"Teacher, save me!"
"Lun Zhuan Wang, I have encountered a Fengwang strong one of the human faction, please save me!"
Besides sending out ordinary distress signals, this Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent also sent distress signals to its teacher at the Venerable Realm, as well as to several Fengwang immortals of the Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent lineage.
In truth, if it really were a peak Fenghou, then even if it encountered a Fengwang-level illusion master, relying on the innate talent of the Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent lineage, it would not fear them in the slightest.
But the key was, it was currently only a Realm Lord!
The top-ranked Realm Lord-level geniuses of the human race could erupt with combat power approaching Fengwang, and as a royal clan of the Meng Yao Zu, the Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent had a higher foundation, so naturally its Realm Lord-level geniuses would be even stronger than those of the human race!
However, this Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent had only just arrived at the extraterritorial battlefield not long ago, and had not yet undergone enough tempering, so its strength was only equivalent to a peak Fenghou.
Of course, its ability to erupt with peak Fenghou strength was naturally aided by numerous external items.
Those external items had a very strong weakening effect against physical attacks, but were relatively weak against soul attacks.
In fact, this Samsara Cong-Eyed Serpent's will was equivalent to a Fengwang immortal, its law comprehension had also reached peak Fenghou, its soul amplitude was even eightfold, and coupled with a precious soul defense secret art, all of this was enough to make its soul defense rival that of a normal elementary Fenghou!
Furthermore, it possessed a treasure on its body that defended against soul attacks, so even an ordinary elementary Fengwang illusion master would find it very hard to kill it through a soul attack—provided the opponent did not burn immortal divine power!
Once the enemy burned immortal divine power, even a high-tier Fenghou illusion master could pose it a tremendous threat!
It had assumed that strong ones skilled in soul attacks were relatively rare on the extraterritorial battlefield, and that it would be hard to encounter one; once its strength grew greater, naturally there would be even less to fear.
But he never expected that before his strength could grow, he would encounter such a terrifying illusion master — this was simply too unlucky!
"No, I must find a way to hold on!"
The Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent, who had sent out countless distress signals, swiftly employed a movement technique to flee in the direction away from Lu Qingshan, then thought to himself: "I've already sent distress signals to my teacher and the many powerful experts of our Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent lineage. They should rush over to save me soon — I must hold on!"
In the void, Lu Qingshan saw the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent actually beginning to flee, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Could it be that…"
Recalling that the peak Hei Fengwang Mo Luo Hou had previously split off a portion of divine power to wrap around the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
One must know that when World Lord-level Luo Feng first went to challenge the Star Tower, he also ordered his servant Heavy Arrow King to use divine power to surround him nearby to defend against soul attacks!
Moreover, if that Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent were truly at peak Hei Fengwang, facing him, not to mention being able to counter-kill, at the very least there would be absolutely no need to flee!
"Unless he simply cannot burn his immortal divine power!"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately employed his movement technique to chase after the direction the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent was fleeing, while once again releasing virtualized immortal divine power to seep into the opponent's body.
Hum!
At the very beginning of the virtualized immortal divine power's infiltration, Lu Qingshan did encounter a trace of resistance, but Lu Qingshan, who had already fought countless immortals, quickly detected that it was the aura of an immortal-level auxiliary metal lifeform — and that auxiliary lifeform was extremely powerful, at least at the peak Hei Fengwang level!
Fortunately, that auxiliary metal lifeform had no soul at all; while it could not be soul-attacked, naturally it also could not help that Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent resist soul attacks.
Just like that, Lu Qingshan's virtualized immortal divine power instantly seeped into the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's body, and he soon sensed its own World Lord aura.
"It's actually really a World Lord!"
After sensing the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's World Lord aura, Lu Qingshan's heart immediately became excited: "I knew it! I've been roaming the extraterritorial battlefield for over a hundred thousand years, yet I never encountered a single alien genius. I didn't expect this time I'd directly run into a big one!"
"A World Lord who can rival a peak Hei Fengwang — even among the Meng Yao Zu, this would count as one of the very top geniuses! Killing such a genius would not only yield many spoils, but also a large amount of military merit — simply a huge profit!"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan was about to immediately employ a soul attack to utterly destroy the opponent's soul!
But just then, another thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind: "If I can soul-enslave this Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent, that would absolutely be a better choice!"
One must know that with Lu Qingshan's current strength, he had actually long had the opportunity to enslave some Hei Fengwang-level alien immortals.
But the number of powerful experts each person could enslave was limited. Although those Hei Fengwang-level aliens' strength was decent, it wasn't of much help to Lu Qingshan at this point — let alone the fact that Lu Qingshan's strength could still continue to improve!
Therefore, what Lu Qingshan had always been thinking was that after stepping into the Hei Fengwang level in the future, like Luo Feng in the original work, he would enslave some peak Hei Fengwang, or even extreme Hei Fengwang-level powerhouses!
But now that he had finally encountered a super genius of the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent lineage, soul-enslaving the opponent was absolutely a good choice.
"Although this Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent may not necessarily cultivate to peak Hei Fengwang in the future, he is after all a member of the Meng Yao Zu royal family!"
Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "If I enslave him and then, like Sky Formation King in the original work, let him remain in the Meng Yao Zu camp, in the future I can use him to learn many pieces of information about the Meng Yao Zu camp, and might even obtain other extra gains!"
Thinking of this, the virtualized immortal divine power that Lu Qingshan had seeped into the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's body instantly changed its attack method, swapping the about-to-be-employed "Soul-Slaying Sword" for another kind of illusion technique!
On the other side, after Lu Qingshan's virtualized immortal divine power seeped into its body, a trace of despair quickly appeared on the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's face.
"I can't block it, I can't block it!"
But just then, Lu Qingshan's virtualized immortal divine power directly transformed into an illusion technique.
"You want to enslave me?"
After sensing the illusion attack, a trace of disdain appeared on the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's face: "Although my strength can't compare to yours, my will is no weaker than yours — how could I possibly be enslaved by you?"
But thinking that even if it blocked the illusion enslavement, it still couldn't block the soul attack, a trace of madness ultimately appeared in the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's eyes: "My teacher once told me that even in death, I must not be soul-enslaved by an alien powerhouse!"
"The ancestor of our Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent lineage is the great Dream Demon Ancestor, and there's also a Lord of the Universe — even if I die, in the future there will still be a chance to reverse time and space to revive!"
With this thought, the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent planned to self-destruct immediately!
But just then, accompanied by a ripple in the surrounding space, a Meng Yao Zu powerhouse of the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent lineage suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"It's Revolving King!"
The Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent instantly became excited: "I didn't expect Revolving King to arrive so quickly! Hahaha, human powerhouse, you're done for!"
"You trash of the human race!"
The enormously massive Revolving King swept a cold glance at that Hei Fengwang powerhouse of the human race, then said coldly: "Since you want to enslave my Meng Yao Zu powerhouse, then go die!"
Rumble rumble rumble!
Revolving King's massive snake tail instantly swept across that human powerhouse's body, instantly smashing it into pieces.
Although that human powerhouse barely reassembled its divine body, its divine power had suffered extremely severe losses!
"Kreist!"
At this moment, Revolving King's gaze suddenly turned to the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent: "This person's strength is already one in a hundred. Since he wants to enslave you, then you enslave him!"
"Yes!"
After hearing Revolving King's words, Kreist instantly became incomparably excited, then directly employed the innate secret technique of the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent clan — world power instantly spread toward that human powerhouse.
"Don't even think about soul-enslaving me!"
Seeing this, that human powerhouse wanted to self-destruct, but Kreist's innate secret technique was one step faster, instantly soul-enslaving that human powerhouse.
"Master!" That human powerhouse was seen standing respectfully before Kreist.
"Hahaha, I've actually enslaved a Hei Fengwang immortal!" Kreist shouted in extreme excitement.
Unbeknownst to him, all of this had only happened within the illusion technique he was under!
And in the outside world…
Lu Qingshan looked at the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent before him, whose body had already completely stiffened but whose will-struggle had suddenly strengthened, and his heart rejoiced: "Submit to me!"
Boom!!
The soul web woven from virtualized divine power instantly fully invaded the Samsara Cong-Eye Serpent's soul.
Soul enslavement, success!
