Chapter 1277

However, the two collided, and as the giant finger dissipated, the medicine cauldron released by the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul did not collapse.

However, the ancient patterns on it became somewhat illusory.

Obviously, in that strike just now, the giant finger of Wu Nie Tun Yan consumed part of the energy of the energy giant cauldron.

However, due to this variable Xiao Yan, the Medicine Clan's Grand Formation now is far stronger than in the original.

Therefore, Wu Nie Tun Yan's attack did not have the tremendous effect it did in the original.

Whoosh!

However, at the instant the giant finger struck the giant cauldron, the battle-experienced Xiao Yan would not pass up such an excellent opportunity; he immediately mobilized vast soul power, turning it into an invisible arrow and shooting it at Wu Nie Tun Yan.

"Hmph, Emperor realm soul, if it were a thousand years ago, I would still not dare be careless. But now, what can you do to me?"

Sensing the invisible arrow rapidly approaching his head, Wu Nie Tun Yan let out a cold snort.

Then, with a thought, a large amount of black flame surged, constructing a flame barrier in front of the incoming arrow.

However, just as the former prepared to block Xiao Yan's soul attack, the rich energy filling the Medicine Clan's Grand Formation, like liquid, also dissipated somewhat at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, the energy giant cauldron before the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul likewise became much more solid.

Next, the giant cauldron actually shot out directly, like a huge mud truck, roaring as it slammed fiercely into Wu Nie Tun Yan in the sky.

"Old thing, I wasn't looking for trouble with you, but now you've come to gang up on me!"

And Wu Nie Tun Yan, seeing the huge ancient medicine cauldron crashing straight at him with a roar, while alarm bells rang in his mind, hastily formed another energy giant finger of black flame before himself and poked it at the cauldron.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by the collisions of the two sides' attacks, in an instant, two deafening explosion fire clouds again rose from the sky.

"Hmph."

And Wu Nie Tun Yan, being attacked from both sides, also let out a muffled groan, his feet uncontrollably retreating several steps.

After all, he now needs to control the external seal, and moreover, to prevent this Emperor realm soul Xiao Yan from breaking the seal and escaping, the seal is stronger than in the original.

Therefore, compared to the original, his consumption is greater.

Moreover, the Medicine Clan's grand formation now, because its preparation time is longer than in the original, has been infused with more energy than in the original.

Its attack power, naturally, cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Therefore, under the pincer attack from both sides, Wu Nie Tun Yan also suffered a small loss.

Thinking of this, Wu Nie Tun Yan loudly cursed at those Soul Clan experts: "You bunch of trash, what are you watching? Kill that brat for me, or do you think I'm invincible under heaven? You can even guard against a sneak attack from an Emperor-level soul while dealing with the Medicine Clan's grand formation."

"As Senior Wu Nie teaches, we'll go kill that brat right now."

Seeing this, the Soul Flame–led Three Devil Saints of the Soul Clan hastily bowed to Wu Nie Tun Yan and apologized.

As soon as the words fell, more than ten Soul Clan Fighting Saints, led by the three, immediately fixed their murderous gazes on Xiao Yan.

"Brat, you dare get us scolded by Senior Wu Nie—go die!"

As soon as the words fell, over a dozen people immediately launched a uniform attack on Xiao Yan.

Upon seeing this, he immediately felt his scalp go numb.

While retreating, he on one hand released soul attacks to block those Soul Clan experts, and on the other hand loudly shouted to those around: "Quick, join the defense—I can't handle so many!"

Hearing this, the non-Medicine Clan experts, including Old Man Shennong, exchanged glances and could only grit their teeth and fly up.

After all, they understood that if they just watched Xiao Yan, this mid-tier combat pillar of theirs, be beaten to death by the Soul Clan.

The next one to fall would surely be them.

As for Xiao Yan, while retreating, he also quickly shouted in his mind: "Xiao San, don't stay silent—quickly give me the Fire Lotus!"

While speaking, he simultaneously poured fighting qi and soul power frantically into his dantian.

After all, forming the Fire Lotus requires sufficient fighting qi and soul power to maintain balance, or it won't work.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing that, a childish male voice immediately came from within his body.

Immediately afterward, his body expanded and he swallowed in one gulp the energy sent by his master.

Thereafter, with the help of Xiao Yan's soul power, he began to control the Sea-Core Flame within his body, and the seven Strange Flames—Small Falling Heart Flame, Profound Yellow Flame, Volcanic Stone Flame, Nine Dragon Thunderbolt Fire, Bone Spirit Chill Fire, and Three Thousand Flame Fire—rapidly merged.

But after Xiao Yan surveyed his own Strange Flames and found their power lacking, he immediately looked toward Old Man Shennong, who was fighting the Soul Clan experts not far away, and shouted: "Senior, lend me your Living Being Flame for a moment!"

Hearing that, Old Man Shennong was momentarily stunned.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to ask further.

Moreover, he had interacted with Xiao Yan for quite a while and knew that the latter possessed a peculiar fighting skill for fusing Strange Flames.

Thinking this, Old Man Shennong waved his hand and tossed the medicinal herb staff he held toward Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan swiftly reached out and caught the herb staff.

Immediately afterward, he tightly grasped the herb staff, and a suction force burst from his palm, frantically pulling and tugting the green flame within the staff.

After all, given his current soul strength, even if he had not yet refined that Strange Flame.

As long as its owner does not resist, he can still use part of the flame's energy.

However, that power is naturally somewhat weaker than the Strange Flames he himself has refined.

But at this life-or-death moment, he can no longer consider these things.

While pulling in the Living Being Flame, he also shouted in his mind: "Xiao San, add this Living Being Flame to increase the Fire Lotus's power!"

"Yes."

Seeing the new flame arrive, Xiao Yan's Fire Spirit, without further ado, immediately drew it in and poured it into the Fire Lotus.

Of course, as the Living Being Flame came into contact with the other Strange Flames, it faintly emitted a repulsive force.

Although its owner did not deliberately resist, the instinct of the Strange Flame still made it somewhat resistant to contacting other Strange Flames.

However, fortunately, Xiao Yan now has both the aid of his Fire Spirit and only a handful of Emperor-level souls on the continent.

By using his own exquisite soul power to fully assist his Fire Spirit in maintaining the Fire Lotus's balance, the fusion of the Living Being Flame with the Fire Lotus proceeded relatively smoothly.

Of course, during this period, Xiao Yan was indeed putting in twelve percent of his spirit, carefully merging with the Fire Lotus.

Otherwise, if he hadn't thrown it out yet, this Fire Lotus would explode inside his body.

And once the Fire Lotus was nearly formed, Xiao Yan immediately opened the team communication, roaring via voice transmission: "All of you, block for me two of the Four Devil Saints and additionally a Soul Clan expert for one second. I will focus my attack; I am confident I can force one of the Four Devil Saints to retreat from battle. Then we will be much better off!"

"Good!"

Hearing this, the Old Man Shennong exchanged a glance with the others, finally gritting his teeth and agreeing.

After all, if they fought normally, they basically had no chance at all; it would be better to trust Xiao Yan once.

Thinking of this, the Old Man Shennong directly abandoned defense, his hands quickly turned crimson and formed a barrier, then he fearlessly charged straight at the two Four Devil Saints.

As for the others, at this moment they were like they'd been injected with chicken blood, each one charging like a madman at those Soul Clan Dou Saints.

"Are you guys crazy!?"

"You bastards, these people probably can't win and are thinking of self-destructing."

Meanwhile, facing those people's desperate attacks, the Soul Clan Dou Saints who were momentarily confused by the situation immediately felt a jolt in their hearts.

While cursing loudly, their bodies instinctively retreated quite a distance.

At this moment, those who were confused feared that these people might suddenly self-destruct, dragging them along to leave no corpses.

Even those two Four Devil Saints were equally puzzled, staring at the Old Man Shennong who had abandoned defense and was rushing straight toward them.

And upon hearing the others mention self-destruction, he also involuntarily retreated a bit cautiously.

After all, he didn't want to kill some external experts and also lose his own little life.

"Great opportunity!"

At the same moment, seeing these people rush forward madly, Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily flashed with a glint of sharpness.

Immediately after, he swiftly hurled the Fire Lotus at the last Four Devil Saint.

And as he threw it, a long arrow condensed with massive soul power likewise took advantage of the cover of the strange fire's destructive aura on the Fire Lotus and shot forward together.

"Trivial tricks, although your fighting technique makes me curious how you fused so many strange fires, relying on its power to kill me is pure fantasy!"

As soon as his words fell, he immediately shot out a stream of Dou Qi toward that Fire Lotus.

"Boom!"

The Dou Qi collided with the Fire Lotus; in an instant, a world-shaking destructive shockwave swept outward in all directions across the sky.

And the surrounding mountain ranges, already riddled with holes from the battle of these Dou Saints, instantly turned into scorched earth at that moment.

Soon after, the fire cloud that followed carried terrifying high temperature and the unique destructive power of strange fire, directly blasting those mountain ranges until they were washed clean.

Under the Fire Lotus's attack, the Four Devil Saint who suffered no harm chuckled lightly and said: "Heh, not bad for a fighting technique, but that's all it amounts to."

"Whoosh!"

But right after, before he could finish speaking, he sensed that the fire clouds spreading in all four directions ahead seemed off.

"Pfft!"

However, his reaction was clearly a step slow; soon everyone saw that the Soul Clan Four Devil Saint who had been laughing suddenly shot backward out of nowhere.

At the same time, his soul was also jolted backward by a tremendous impact into the violent fire cloud that was wildly spreading in the sky due to the Fire Lotus's explosion.

"Done for, we've been tricked!"

The illusory soul that had been flung backward instantly had this thought flash through its mind.

"Boom!"

But immediately after, the merciless colorful violent strange fire cloud devoured his soul, which had been gravely wounded by the invisible long arrow, and then continued to rage across the sky.

"What!?"

Upon seeing this, the other Soul Clan Dou Saints were instantly struck as if by lightning, standing rigidly in place.

At this moment, their thoughts also seemed to come to a halt.

"You bastard, you little mongrel, you're playing us!"

But shortly after, one of the Four Devil Saints who had regained his composure immediately exerted all his strength, letting out a roar to the heavens filled with endless killing intent and anger.

By now he understands perfectly: just now, those others were holding back his people to give Xiao Yan an opportunity, and taking the chance to cut down one of his strong fighters.

Although he hasn't personally witnessed the outcome of the Soul Slaughter, the defenseless soul body simply fell into the violent fire cloud formed by the fusion of seven or eight kinds of strange fire.

Even without seeing it, he could guess the result of such a situation!

"Success, retreat!"

At the same time, the Shennong old man and his companions saw Xiao Yan's plan succeed; as they slipped back with oil on their feet, they also hurriedly called for the others to retreat.

After all, at this moment, every extra bit of living force on their side adds to their chances of victory.

"Great, I thought we could only drive the opponent out of his body, forcing him to withdraw from the battlefield. Who would have thought our luck would be so good that we directly killed one of the Four Demon Saints!"

As Xiao Yan faced the fall of one of the Four Demon Saints, wild joy surged across his face, and his heart was also filled with relief.

Originally, his attack would have been extremely difficult to kill a late-stage Seven-star Dou Saint powerhouse.

But nobody expected that guy to be so unlucky, directly falling into the fire clouds after the explosion of the Eight-Colored Fire Lotus.

And that extremely fragile, utterly unprepared soul body thus fell into the seemingly boundless sea of Strange Fire.

The result is easy to imagine: nothing but the scattering of soul and spirit.

"Go on, kill them!"

After a moment of silence, the remaining two Four Demon Saints immediately stared at Xiao Yan and his companions with eyes about to split.

Our side lost a late-stage Seven-star Dou Saint; when we return to the clan later, it's easy to imagine what punishment awaits us.

Thinking of this, the dozen or so Soul Clan Dou Saints immediately roared and charged at Xiao Yan and the Shennong old man, vowing to take their heads!

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately furrowed his brows.

After all, their side's combat power could never match the Soul Clan's; if they kept fighting like this, they would eventually die.

And thinking of this, Xiao Yan turned his head to look toward the location of the Medicine Clan's grand formation.

There, Wu Nie Tun Yan was exchanging blows with the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor.

Although the outcome is still unclear at the moment, from the gradually pallid faces of the Medicine Clan people, Xiao Yan estimated that at most two minutes later, the grand formation would be breached.

After all, Wu Nie Tun Yan is no ordinary nine-star Dou Sheng; he can fill the heavens and earth with tiny, minute flames, cutting off your ability to replenish Dou Qi from the heavens and earth.

What is even more despairing is that, facing this ability of Wu Nie Tun Yan, the entire Medicine Clan actually has no one who can find a means to restrain it.

With this mutual waxing and waning, the Medicine Clan's protective grand formation will eventually be broken.

「Whoosh! 」

However, just as Xiao Yan was worrying about his situation, a streak of flowing light suddenly streaked across the distant sky.

And when Xiao Yan took a closer look, he discovered that this person was none other than Lin Feng, who had previously been chased all over the world by Soul Void Child.

At this moment, he had actually returned here unharmed despite being pursued by a seven-star Dou Sheng.

However, the current Lin Feng no longer bears the appearance of the earlier azure-robed young master.

That expensive azure robe of his is now covered from top to bottom with tears big and small.

Furthermore, his robe and his body bear traces of having been burned by flames.

He looks like a newly made beggar elder, quite disheveled.

「I didn't expect this guy to actually survive, and that Soul Void Child didn't follow; it must be more misfortune than fortune, but this is good: we've eliminated a Soul Clan seven-star Dou Sheng and no longer need to worry about the Soul Clan obtaining the Burning Scripture. Moreover, judging by this, that guy hasn't suffered little either. 」

6=9+

Seeing that the former's attire resembled that of a beggar, Xiao Yan's heart immediately brightened with a covert smile.

After all, this way the Soul Clan loses a seven-star Dou Sheng, and Lin Feng also suffers a great loss.

This truly is a case of killing two birds with one stone.

「Xiao Yan, I cao￥#@ damn it, you still have old me being chased all the way by a seven-star Dou Sheng; if it weren't for old me having some tricks, today I would have died at the hands of that Soul Void Child! 」

As soon as Lin Feng appeared, it was also beyond Xiao Yan's expectation; he immediately launched a tirade, scolding him until he was drenched in dog's blood.

However, after finishing his scolding, the former didn't wait for Xiao Yan's reply and immediately ran toward the direction of the Medicine Clan's grand formation.

「Bastard! 」

And Xiao Yan, who was just about to retort, felt as if a punch had struck him upon seeing the former leave.

Even the pleased mood from earlier, due to Lin Feng's loss, had largely dissipated.

As for Lin Feng on the other side, after he arrived at a place tens of li outside the Medicine Clan's grand formation, his lips twitched slightly, then he transmitted a passage of words, which finally entered Yao Dan's ears.

「Is this, really? 」

Upon hearing those words, the originally somewhat desperate Yao Dan, while startled, involuntarily responded with an excited voice.

「Upon hearing that, Lin Feng immediately nodded, then continued: 'Wait a moment, you figure out how to disturb part of the seal; I'll take the opportunity to use spatial power to open it. However, we still need some people to hold the rear afterward, and Xiao Yan and his group are the most suitable.'」

「Okay! 」

As soon as the former's words fell, Yao Dan immediately nodded without hesitation.

After all, at this point he had no second choice unless he waited for all the clan's Dou Sheng to drag the opponent into mutual self-destruction; trusting Lin Feng once would not be a problem.

However, thinking of Lin Feng's earlier suggestion for Xiao Yan to hold the rear, Yao Dan immediately sent a voice transmission: 'Xiao Yan happens to be an emperor-level soul, able to attract much of the Soul Clan's firepower. In a moment I will toss the medicine dust deep into the Medicine Realm, forcing that guy to go rescue him. As for us, we will take the chance to flee!'

Before the legacy of the medicine dust master-disciple and the Medicine Clan, Yao Dan unhesitatingly chose the latter.

After all, he is not particularly familiar with either the medicine dust or Xiao Yan, and how could he disregard the Medicine Clan's legacy for the sake of these two?

Moreover, even if both sides were well acquainted, as the head of the Medicine Clan he is destined to sacrifice the few to protect the many.

It is impossible to doom the entire Medicine Clan for the sake of these two.

「Fine, then we'll do as you said. 」

Upon hearing Yao Dan's plan, Lin Feng also quickly agreed.

And after saying that, he immediately flew swiftly toward the Medicine Clan's protective grand formation.

As for Yao Dan, he also swiftly opened a crack and sent the former inside.

「Just what exactly were those two saying earlier? 」

At the same time the two were discussing up front, Xiao Yan in the distance saw this scene, his brows slightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Because he possesses an emperor-level soul, he can perceive what Lin Feng and Yao Dan just said.

However, since he needs to expend most of his soul power in battle, and with the attack of a seven-star peak Dou Sheng, he needs to hide everywhere with the help of Old Man Shennong.

Therefore, this also means he basically has no time to focus his soul power to eavesdrop on their conversation.

However, seeing Yao Dan actually let Lin Feng, who has no relation whatsoever to the Medicine Clan, enter the formation, his heart involuntarily became wary.

Yao Dan's this abnormal behavior forced him to be on careful guard.

「Clang! 」

However, just as Xiao Yan was feeling doubtful and perplexed, the attack of Wu Nie Tun Yan in the distance once again collided with the energy medicine cauldron flung out by the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, producing an earth-shaking explosive roar.

Regardless, when the two collided and after Wu Nie Tun Yan's battle technique dissipated, the huge energy medicine cauldron controlled by the Medicine Emperor also became much more illusory.

Even the elderly figure at the center of the formation has become somewhat fainter than before.

This situation clearly results from the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul consuming a considerable amount of energy in its battle with Wu Nie Tun Yan.

「Heh heh, a fading remnant soul—let's see how many more times you can block this seat. 」

Although this attack was still ineffective, Wu Nie Tun Yan nevertheless laughed out loud.

Even the sense of urgency gradually appearing on his face has diminished considerably.

After all, judging by the current situation, breaking through the Medicine Clan's protective grand formation is already imminent.

Thinking of this, Wu Nie Tun Yan repeatedly slapped out his palms.

Accompanying his movements, in an instant the whole heaven and earth began to shake and tremble.

At the same time, dozens of massive black flame palms descended from the sky, relentlessly slamming heavily onto the huge cauldron before the formation.

「Clang! Clang! Clang! 」

In the next moment, accompanied by a heaven-shaking explosive sound that kept reverberating across the horizon, on the energy cauldron controlled by the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, it was actually blasted by Wu Nie Tun Yan, forcing out several cracks.

"Is this, the Medicine Clan's Guardian Clan Grand Formation about to break?"

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and the others in the distance, upon seeing this situation, instantly had their expressions sink sharply.

They knew that once the formation was broken, the Medicine Clan would surely begin its final resistance.

Whether they could escape would depend on whether, at that time, they could blast a gap in Wu Nie Tun Yan's seal.

However, Xiao Yan looked at Wu Nie Tun Yan, whose black flames were somewhat thinner, and thought to himself: 'To seal such a vast world and also fight the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor for so long, his consumption must surely be high. Later, he might not even have a chance to escape!'

Thinking this, Xiao Yan, while fighting, also began to search for a weak point in the seal.

Meanwhile, Wu Nie Tun Yan saw that the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor lacked energy, and Yao Dan unexpectedly did not continue to pour in support for the remnant soul's energy, causing him to secretly become wary.

After all, this move is indeed somewhat abnormal.

Of course, he thought that, but seeing that he was only a hair's breadth away from defeating the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, he still madly mobilized the black flames between heaven and earth without hesitation.

Even the black flames on the seal became noticeably dimmer at this moment.

After all, as long as he could break the Medicine Clan's Guardian Clan Grand Formation, he could then begin a wanton slaughter of the Medicine Clan's people, plus the assistance of those other Soul Clan Dou Saints.

Even if the seal weakens a bit, it's not a big problem.

"Ha!"

In the next moment, Wu Nie Tun Yan's black-flame giant palm, which was much stronger than before, suddenly accompanied by a booming thunderous roar, swiftly slammed toward the energy cauldron.

"Boom!"

The giant palm collided with the medicine cauldron, and in an instant, terrifying energy impacts that could not be described in words swept out wildly from above the sky.

At the same time, the ancient energy cauldron before the Medicine Clan's grand formation, upon contact, quickly had thick cracks like a spiderweb explode across its body.

Finally, under the frantic pressure of the black-flame giant palm, the energy cauldron that had been battling Wu Nie Tun Yan for a long time completely collapsed.

Meanwhile, the destructive impact remaining from the giant palm swept downward, finally slamming hard onto the Guardian Clan Grand Formation.

"Thud!"

Under that sweeping impact, the Medicine Clan's Guardian Clan Grand Formation suddenly began to tremble violently.

At the same time, the bodies of the Medicine Clan members inside the formation all abruptly retreated far backward, their gazes looking up with some fear.

"The formation... is about to break!"

Gazing at the increasingly illusory hemp-clothed old man, the hearts of all Medicine Clan members instantly turned cold.

They never expected that the grand formation formed by the collective strength of their entire clan...

... would actually still be unable to withstand the terrifying existence of a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

"Sigh"

At the center of the formation, the illusory old man in coarse hemp clothing high in the sky, after gazing at this scene, also let out a bitter sigh.

Afterward, a murmuring voice drifted up in everyone's ears.

"This calamity, the Medicine Clan still cannot avoid it!"

As the voice faded, the figure of the hemp-clothed old man suddenly darted out of the formation.

Then, in the astonished gazes of countless Medicine Clan members, he transformed into a streak of illusory light, breaking through the black-flame clouds at a speed surpassing light, and finally swooped into Wu Nie Tun Yan's body.

Such speed was such that even Wu Nie Tun Yan could not react in time.

On his face, the smile that had appeared from defeating the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor also instantly stiffened.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the illusory light collided with Wu Nie Tun Yan's brow, and immediately thereafter a not-so-loud muffled sound echoed between heaven and earth.

However, under the impact of that illusory light, Wu Nie Tun Yan's body suddenly began to tremble violently.

Next, his brows furrowed tightly, he clutched his head in pain, and with a low voice full of anger said: 'You damned old thing, even at the critical moment you won't let me be at ease. If so... then let me dissipate between heaven and earth!'

As soon as his words fell, the black flames within the seal above surged out, covering the sky and earth, and then poured into Wu Nie Tun Yan's head below.

"Bang!"

Amidst the bursting black flames, shortly afterward, a faint sound emanated from Wu Nie Tun Yan's brain.

It was as if a certain soul had shattered.

Although the voice was not loud, the bodies of all the Medicine Clan people suddenly stiffened at this moment.

At that moment, they could feel that something in their bloodlines was silently slipping away.

Forefather.

Even Yao Dan, his eyes bloodshot, stared blankly at the sky.

But soon, as Lin Feng's voice reached him, he quickly red-eyed, shouting with all his strength: 'All Medicine Clan members, pour your Battle Qi into the grand formation to avenge the Forefather!'

And as his shout fell, Yao Dan was the first to turn his inner Battle Qi into a brilliant light pillar, shooting it entirely into the clan-protecting grand formation.

To avenge the Forefather!

And upon hearing this, the others who had awakened also all shot out their entire bodies' Battle Qi, turning them into light pillars that poured into the grand formation.

—

There are still people constantly saying why soul power can't defeat high-level cultivators, why they can't withstand the high-level of high-level Dou Saints.

Let me repeat it again; as I said before, it's because of cultivation methods and combat techniques, etc., that pure soul cannot defeat high-level cultivators.

For example, I mean, for example, an Eight-Star Dou Saint and an Emperor Realm Soul both have attack and defense of ten thousand.

Because the Eight-Star Dou Saint has a high-level heavenly cultivation method, high Battle Qi quality, its attack and defense become twelve thousand.

The first ordinary attack of the Eight-Star Dou Saint, your Emperor Realm Soul with ten thousand defense plus expending extra soul power barely blocked it.

Immediately after, your Emperor Realm Soul's base attack of ten thousand against their twelve thousand defense was easily blocked.

And seeing this, the Eight-Star Dou Saint immediately added a high-level combat technique, raising its attack to one hundred thousand.

And as for your Emperor Realm Soul, you have no high-level soul cultivation method, no high-level soul technique, only a base defense of ten thousand—how can you block it?

So the final result is simply dead.

In the end, a purely strong soul power can only let some of your stats keep up with high‑level strongmen, but orthodox cultivators are more balanced in all aspects; when most of your stats are crushed, you can't win.

Post‑edit: these words are not extra charge (chapter end).
