Chapter 1388: and translation of chapter title

Damn it!

And in the sky not far away, the many floating Soul Clan elites, after seeing the Tongling Sect elites and safely getting away, couldn't help but mutter under their breath, their expressions turning rather displeased.

Originally they thought that three Nine‑Star Dou Saints plus a late‑stage Eight‑Star Dou Saint, wielding the Death Realm Array, would surely heavily damage or even annihilate the opponent.

But they didn't expect that such a high‑level killing array would actually cause little harm to the Tongling Sect elites.

Their gaze fell on the opposite side, and the number of people there was still considerable.

In the earlier array attack, they had lost fewer than ten.

But on their side, they had lost a late‑stage Eight‑Star Dou Saint.

Kill!

However, the enraged Qiu Yue on the other side wouldn't give the opponent time to think; as soon as he regained his freedom, he immediately roared without pause.

As soon as his words fell, he was the first to charge toward the Soul Clan.

As for the other Tongling Sect elites, upon hearing this, they instantly turned to Han Yu, who was still standing.

After all, the Soul Clan had more Dou Saints, and now they themselves were injured inside the black giant gate, their combat power significantly reduced.

Now they didn't know whether they should clash to the death with the Soul Clan.

Charge! The opponent clearly hasn't given up on us; we have to go in now.

Sensing the gazes of his fellow sect members, Han Yu's face grew serious; he clenched his teeth, immediately gathered Dou Qi, and his form shot forward at high speed.

The remaining Tongling Sect Dou Saints, hearing this, all exchanged glances and then rushed out together.

After all, the former's words were very reasonable; in the current situation, they couldn't afford not to fight desperately!

Whoosh.

Thinking of this, everyone surged forward, charging at those Soul Clan Dou Saints.

Hmph, kill them all!

Seeing the opponent still dare to launch a proactive attack, the few Soul Clan members instantly ordered.

In the same breath, the three of them exchanged glances, then Hun Yao and another person swiftly charged at the rushing Han Yu.

As for Hun Sheng Tian, he directly attacked Qiu Yue.

After all, they now understood that Han Yu was the pillar among the Tongling Sect Dou Saints.

At the same time, he was also the strongest.

As for Qiu Yue, he was basically a brainless brute.

Indeed his strength was also great, but he was easy to deal with.

Just now, trapped by our Death Realm Array, Qiu Yue foolishly dove into the Gate of Deathly Silence.

Now that guy's body has been corroded by death aura for a considerable time.

At this moment, being able to exert seventy percent of his prime power is already good.

Ha!

However, what caught the Soul Clan off guard was that, upon approaching, a sizable portion of the Tongling Sect Dou Saints suddenly released their own spirit pets.

And these spirit pets were all nine‑rank demonic beasts, despite the owners being Dou Saint‑level.

Therefore, within the Soul Clan, many who had only just advanced to Dou Saint after their clan leader Hun Tian Di ascended to Dou Emperor and triggered the bloodline, the so‑called "new recruits", were suddenly taken by surprise.

Ten Thousand Souls, Bow!

Soul‑Eradication Palm!

Soul‑Eradication Demon Sound!

Fortunately, the veteran Soul Clan Dou Saints reacted instantly, and then unleashed wave after wave of soul‑shaking sound or spirit attacks.

Some who wanted to defeat the opponent in one blow even tapped into their own soul‑body reserves, amplifying their soul attacks to strike directly at the Tongling Sect Dou Saints.

After all, they knew those demonic beasts, though formidable, were clearly controlled by these humans.

Thus, as long as they eliminated those human Dou Saints, the beasts would collapse on their own.

Splat!

Ah!

Not good, it's a soul attack. Boom!

Facing the Soul Clan Dou Saints' collective sound waves and soul attacks, the unprepared Tongling elites fell like dumplings dropping down.

After all, on the Dou Qi continent, the mainstream is cultivating Dou Qi.

Therefore, without prior knowledge, the Tongling Sect and others had absolutely no preparation for such a bizarre soul attack.

Moreover, the Soul Clan, being soul‑based, had, during this period, exterminated the ancient clan and countless Central Plains cultivators, acquiring massive soul bodies.

Supported by this endless flow of souls, within the Soul Clan, Heavenly Realm Souls were as numerous as clouds.

Even Hun Sheng Tian, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, now, with the massive supply of soul bodies, has broken through to the Imperial Realm Soul!

And this is the confidence that lets him face the wounded Qiu Yue alone.

As for the Tongling Sect, although they need to control their spirit pets, their soul power is still decent.

But with intention versus chance, plus the Soul Clan's powerful soul attacks, it is naturally hard to resist.

Damned bastard, go die for me!

And Qiu Yue, noticing the comrades constantly falling nearby, instantly reddened his eyes, breathed heavily like a bull, swung his fists, and pounded at Hun Sheng Tian with all his might.

Hehe, truly a brainless one. Today, I'll let you see how powerful our Soul Clan is!

Looking at the charging Qiu Yue, Hun Sheng Tian sneered coldly; possessing an Imperial Realm Soul, unless he lost his mind, how could he possibly compare physical strength with this brainless brute?

Then his thoughts shifted, and the vast soul power erupted instantly, striking straight at the opponent's mind.

And while those two groups were locked in a fierce battle ahead, in the south of Gu Nanfang Dalu, the fight between Hun Tian Di and the Tongling Sect Patriarch had also entered a white‑hot stage.

Both sides continuously hurled attack after attack at each other, each capable of effortlessly obliterating tens of thousands, even broader swaths.

Under these attacks of unfathomable power, the vast region spanning several hundred thousand li around the extreme south of Gu Nanfang Dalu was affected.

Whether mountains, rivers, or even space itself, almost everything was completely obliterated!

However, although their attacks were immensely powerful, they could not harm a Dou Emperor.

Thus for a moment, the two of them were locked in a direct stalemate here.

Of course, neither side lacked even more powerful attacks; those attacks simply required a great price.

So the two of them, consequently, simultaneously refrained from using them.

Nevertheless, as the two fought, their battle gradually grew more ferocious.

The situation was also slowly slipping out of control.

During the fight, the Soul Emperor suddenly raised his palm, giving a gentle grasp to the dense blood cloud hovering above him.

In an instant, the blood cloud in the high sky roiled wildly, followed by the piercing roar of raging thunder, echoing continuously within the snowy clouds.

As the Soul Emperor's gaze hardened, a massive blood-colored bolt of lightning, a thousand zhang tall, suddenly descended from within the blood cloud.

Then that extremely violent blood-colored thunder instantly tore through the void, appearing abruptly before the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect, and then hammered down fiercely!

Facing the arrival of the blood-colored thunder, the latter swiftly raised a jade hand and formed a seal.

At the same time, a flash of light flickered before her, and immediately a frosty ice pillar, no smaller than the blood-colored thunder, materialized, charging straight toward the opposing thunder.

"Boom!"

Two colossal entities slammed into each other in the sky; in an instant, a blinding flash illuminated almost the entire Gu Nanfang Dalu.

Even those at the border between Gu Nanfang Dalu and the Southern Continent—Soul-born Heaven, Han Yu, and others locked in a life‑or‑death clash—caught a vague hint of it.

However, the flash of the impact did not last long.

After a few breaths, that eerie blood‑colored lightning and the deep‑blue icy pillars were violently shattered by the opponent's attack.

Finally, the two sides vanished into nothingness almost simultaneously.

"Damn it, we have to think of a way to lure the opponent out now!"

Seeing this, the Soul Emperor couldn't help muttering angrily in his heart.

After all, the measures he had prepared were all on the outside Zhongzhou Continent, and this place, which he previously could not enter, had no traps set by him.

Now that the fight broke out here, he naturally held no advantage.

As for the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect opposite him, his striking ice‑blue eyebrows also involuntarily knit together.

Because she had just successfully advanced a level and hadn't yet stabilized her realm, she was caught off guard by the opponent's arrival.

Now, unprepared, she was fighting extremely hard.

If she hadn't been a top‑three‑Tribulation strongman before, she wouldn't have any foundation.

At this moment, she was probably already beaten into a shambles by the opponent.

At this point, if she could, she certainly wouldn't want to grapple death‑to‑death with the native Dou Emperor before her.

But the problem is, her plan had been uncovered, and now she was forced to fight the opponent to the death.

Thus, she was at an impasse at this moment.

"There's no other way; it seems we have to sacrifice something."

At the same time, the Soul Emperor, seeing the stalemate with his opponent, felt a sudden resolve.

Immediately, he formed seals with both hands, his thoughts shifting; far away on the Zhongzhou Continent, a torrent of blood surged forth, rushing toward the Southern Continent like a flood.

Other cultivators, seeing countless streams of fresh blood appearing in the sky and flowing toward the South, were instantly horrified.

However, many, driven by their strong curiosity, hesitated for a moment.

Then their silhouettes darted, following the trail left by the blood, soaring toward the South.

At the same time, a palace‑clad woman within Gu Nanfang Dalu, seeing the opponent summon something, instantly altered her hand seal.

Around her, dozens of frosty ice pillars, like before, materialized instantly.

"Go!"

After the ice pillars formed, the woman slightly parted her pink lips, and a crisp, cold voice gently echoed across the sky.

Simultaneously, the ice pillars shot out at extreme speed, reaching the Soul Emperor in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the latter, who was summoning a sea of blood, immediately furrowed his brows.

But soon, he lifted his right palm lightly and, aiming at the incoming ice pillars, swung forcefully.

"Rumble—rumble—rumble!"

With the Soul Emperor's palm swing, the dense blood cloud in the sky roiled wildly in an instant.

At the same time, a hair‑raising, ferocious energy rapidly coalesced within it.

In less than a breath, dense blood‑red lightning flickered throughout the thick blood cloud.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

These blood‑colored bolts, brimming with destructive power, immediately rained down upon the ice pillars.

The ferocious, terrifying blood lightning surged across the sky in a frenzy, causing the space within tens of thousands of li to tremble violently at that moment.

Even the ground far from the blood thunder burst apart, unable to withstand the overwhelming violent force and the shockwaves of the lightning.

As for the sky along the way, needless to say, wherever the blood thunder passed, space was completely erased, leaving nothing.

"Crack."

However, once the thunder struck the ice pillars, its unstoppable ferocity instantly lost effect, being rapidly frozen by the world's only ice power.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Yet soon, as a continuous stream of blood thunder arrived, the icy pillars, outmatched on all sides, were ultimately shattered into nothingness by the ensuing blood thunder.

However, although all the ice pillars were smashed, the blood thunder was also completely expended, and both ultimately returned to nothingness.

However, although these blood thunders ultimately return to nothingness, they have nonetheless bought time for the Soul Heaven Emperor.

The towering blood sea that surged from Central Continent now, at this moment, has already appeared in this sky.

"Wah‑la‑la!"

Accompanied by a massive scarlet blood sea that continuously replenishes the blood clouds above, the crimson in the Soul Heaven Emperor's eyes also, at this moment, deepens rapidly.

Having been replenished, the Soul Heaven Emperor's mouth corners couldn't help but lift into a smile.

Immediately after, he took a sudden step forward, his blood‑red gaze shooting straight at the blue‑haired woman.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the former's fleeting thought, the entire sky trembled at this moment.

At the same time, the towering blood sea high above also began to surge wildly at this moment.

Immediately thereafter, a portion of the blood sea spilled out, instantly transforming into a massive blood wave tens of thousands of zhang tall, crashing fiercely toward the Tongling Sect Ancestor!

Under that blood wave soaring ten hundred thousand zhang, the entire sky turned a vivid red.

Looking up, even the sun in the sky was obscured!

As for the blue‑haired woman's figure below, it was even more minuscule, like an ant.

However, the Tongling Sect Ancestor showed no sign of panic toward the charging towering blood sea.

She once again formed a hand seal, and in her semi‑transparent eyes instantly reflected the full image of the blood sea.

"Chi chi."

In the next instant, the towering blood sea that had plunged down from the sky halted instantly in place, motionless, as if time itself had stopped at that moment.

But soon, the heavens and earth of Gu Nanfang Dalu trembled violently at that moment.

"Bang!"

Immediately thereafter, the blood sea in the sky exploded, turning into a torrential blood rain that poured down from the heavens like a downpour.

Its range was so vast that it encompassed the entire Gu Nanfang Dalu (End of chapter).
