Chapter 1389

And facing the blood sea that filled the sky, the Ancestor of the Spirit Communion Sect merely curled her lips slightly, moved her hands, and the surrounding heavenly and earthly energy instantly surged wildly.

Immediately, her jade palm clenched tightly.

In an instant, centered on her, an unparalleled terrifying dark-blue Cold Current, mixed with wind and snow, burst outward.

Wherever the Cold Current passed, whether land or river, or even water vapor and miscellaneous particles in the air, they instantly condensed into tiny frost, which then slowly drifted down from the sky.

Even the heavenly and earthly energy, at this moment, instantly turned into chunks of ice of varying sizes, falling downward to the land.

Even space itself, at this moment, was completely solidified by the Cold Current.

If anyone else were present, unless their strength surpassed hers, they would certainly be unable to break through space and enter the void.

Similarly, those in the void at this moment were also unable to appear from here.

And the speed of the Cold Current's spread was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, it had already swept onto the blood sea that filled the entire sky.

「Crack! 」

When the two met, quickly, the Soul Heaven Emperor's surging blood sea was instantly sealed by the Cold Current, freezing into bright-red ice!

Even the residual force rushed straight toward the Soul Heaven Emperor himself, spreading outward.

However, upon seeing this, the latter immediately stomped his foot.

In an instant, a fierce spreading invisible shockwave quickly scattered the greatly weakened remnants of the Cold Current's force.

At the same time, facing the blocked attack, the Soul Heaven Emperor felt no surprise whatsoever.

After all, if that Dou Emperor expert opposite him could be so easily slain by him, who had just entered the Dou Emperor realm,

then he would truly have to suspect that the other side was playing a trick.

Nevertheless, his complexion at this moment still uncontrollably grew somewhat grave.

After all, as they fought, he also discovered that the opponent was not an easy foe to deal with.

Today's battle for him would undoubtedly be extremely perilous.

「Blood Devil Heart-Eroding Thunder! 」

But soon, the Soul Heaven Emperor's expression quickly steadied; at once he stepped on the blood-colored lotus and pointed his finger at the blood-colored sea that enveloped the entire Gu Nanfang Dalu.

As soon as he pointed, instantly the blood-colored sea hanging over the horizon began to beat violently like a giant heart.

Immediately after, the surging blood sea violently contracted inward!

「Boom—! 」

And as the boundless blood clouds contracted, the entire sky of Gu Nanfang Dalu also instantly collapsed downward.

In an instant, pitch-black spatial rifts spread across the sky at a speed surpassing that of a half‑Emperor expert flying at full throttle.

At the same time, the violently churning blood-colored sea began to contract extremely quickly.

Furthermore, during this period, dense scarlet blood lightning like a school of fish began to appear and disappear within the blood sea.

Each of these lightning bolts was hundreds of zhang in diameter.

Moreover, judging by their momentum, even a nine‑star peak Dou Saint would be unable to withstand any single one of those countless lightning bolts!

However, compared to ordinary lightning, these blood lightning lack the utmost yang and rigid qi.

Instead, they are filled with ferocity and resentment.

As they move, they resemble countless people whispering, making one's heart involuntarily tremble with anxiety.

「Sizzle—! 」

But soon, the countless blood lightning, like a torrential downpour, madly shot down from the blood sea, aiming straight at the distant Ancestor of the Spirit Communion Sect.

And the blood lightning pouring down from heaven and earth, while in flight, rapidly began to converge toward the center.

In an instant, those lightning bolts, hundreds of zhang in size, grew to tens of thousands of zhang under the incessant convergence.

The color of these great blood lightning likewise became deeper and more crimson compared to the earlier 'small' blood lightning.

At the same time, the violent force and ferocious source qi within the lightning, as the smaller bolts merged, likewise became even greater.

From afar, the Spirit Communion Sect, seeing this, could not help but flash a hint of gravity in their beautiful icy‑blue, semi‑transparent eyes.

Within this ten‑thousand‑zhang blood lightning lies unparalleled ferocity and the grudges of countless people.

If struck, the malevolent resentment would invade the body; if she cannot quickly suppress it, it will inevitably destroy her mind.

By then, she could only watch helplessly as resentment entered her brain, ultimately leading to self‑destruction.

Thinking of this, the blue‑haired woman immediately flipped her jade hand.

Immediately, between her slender, fair index and middle fingers appeared a piece of green‑metal talisman, three fingers wide and slightly longer than her palm.

At the same time, threads of light‑blue Dou Qi continuously flowed from her delicate jade fingers into the talisman.

Accompanying the activation of the Dou Qi, lines of pattern began to appear on the green talisman.

Finally, these seemingly disordered lines transformed into the pattern of a praying mantis.

「The sect's patience has been exhausted by you; since you insist on this, then today we will take the life of you, this native Dou Emperor, to proclaim our sect's return to the world. 」

In a soft murmur, she flicked her jade hand, and the metal talisman instantly shot toward the oncoming blood‑colored thunder.

As for the Soul Heaven Emperor, seeing that tiny metal sheet silently approaching, a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

Being a person of the Dou Qi Continent, he had naturally never seen such a thing in his previous life.

Thus, he knew nothing about what those things were used for.

But even so, his years of combat experience tell him that regardless of what that thing is,

since the blue‑haired woman is of sound mind, the thing she threw cannot possibly be useless junk.

So he immediately continued to mobilize the blood sea in the sky, constantly firing more blood lightning to merge into that enormous thunder.

And with that reinforcement, in an instant the power of the blood‑colored giant thunder in the violent surge also rose to a higher level.

「Hum—! 」

While flying, the metal talisman suddenly burst forth with a green light from within.

At the same time, that light, accompanying the passage of time, quickly grew stronger.

In less than a moment, the light was so intense that even the distant Soul Heaven Emperor couldn't help but narrow their eyes slightly.

But soon, the Soul Heaven Emperor sensed that an extremely violent aura was seeping out from that small metal piece.

As the Soul Heaven Emperor was about to investigate, the talisman suddenly flashed with a light more than ten times blinding than before.

Under such intense light, the Soul Heaven Emperor also couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Boom!"

However, shortly after, the talisman violently exploded.

Immediately thereafter, a green figure filled with violent aura shot out from within at high speed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As soon as that green figure appeared, dozens of wind blades, each tens of thousands of zhang wide, shot out instantly from the strong light, heading straight for the blood-colored lightning.

"Sizzle!"

Immediately after, amidst the crackling of the lightning, when the Soul Heaven Emperor reopened their eyes and looked.

He suddenly discovered that the powerful combat technique he had been proud of just moments ago had now been broken into more than ten pieces.

Judging from the cross-section, it was extremely smooth, clearly the work of some extremely sharp object!

But soon, that which continued to face the incoming green wind blade, then told him.

What exactly was the thing that just cut his combat technique?

As the Soul Heaven Emperor gazed at the oncoming wind blade, he immediately unleashed several blood-colored energy giant palms in succession, rushing forward to meet it.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

However, facing the obstruction of the blood-colored energy giant palms, the wind blade easily sliced through them and then continued to attack the Soul Heaven Emperor himself behind the palms.

"What?!"

Upon seeing that, the Soul Heaven Emperor's face instantly turned pale with fright, and he quickly employed his movement technique to continually dodge, managing to avoid all those wind blades.

"Swish!"

However, just as he had dodged the wind blade's attack, before he could even catch his breath, the Soul Heaven Emperor sensed that an aura was rapidly approaching from ahead.

Seeing that, he also had no time for anything else, quickly mobilizing the blood-colored ocean in the sky and charging straight toward that figure.

As for that aura, it seemed somewhat wary of this blood sea filled with resentment and ferocity.

Upon sensing that this thing was charging at him, his form instantly flickered, and he halted in the sky a thousand zhang opposite the Soul Heaven Emperor.

And at that moment, the Soul Heaven Emperor finally got a clear look at the full appearance of that aura.

Looking in that direction, he discovered that the thing that had just made him a bit embarrassed was actually a creature about a hundred zhang in size, with a slender body, entirely grass-green in color.

As for its eyes, each had a "small black dot".

Looking downward, in front of it grew a pair of blades over forty zhang long and less than ten zhang wide.

Furthermore, on its back were a pair of folded green wings.

Blades, wings, a slender whole—no need to say more, the Soul Heaven Emperor could easily guess what kind of creature this was.

However, although this magical beast looked just like a living creature,

but its somewhat illusory body and ethereal aura

were reminding the Soul Heaven Emperor that this was not a true living being, but rather a beast soul.

"A mantis-type magical beast, and moreover a tenth-rank magical beast at the Dou Emperor level—how could the opponent possibly summon a beast soul of this rank?"

Gazing at the mighty, azure mantis beast soul, the Soul Heaven Emperor frowned deeply, his heart filled with doubt.

From the earlier clash, he knew that, in life, this magical beast had absolutely been a tenth-rank magical beast.

Even more, it had been a tenth-rank magical beast at its peak, far stronger than him!

Otherwise, that mantis could not have, despite lacking a physical body, managed to make him a bit embarrassed just now.

"You had better submit to me now and let me control your soul; otherwise, later on, you won't even have a chance to do that."

And after summoning that mantis beast soul, the Ancestor of the Soul Communication Sect immediately placed his hands beneath the pair of round, plump, protruding mounds in front of him, and as he walked forward slowly, his clear, cold voice also gradually spread throughout this expanse of sky.

However, although her steps appeared slow, each time her foot landed, she would instantly appear a hundred zhang away.

Such a distance, inconsistent with Dou Emperor speed, was clearly done deliberately by her.

The purpose was to let herself move at a steady pace that appeared neither fast nor slow.

Having arrived beside the mantis beast soul, she gazed coldly at the opposing Soul Heaven Emperor.

"Hmph, wanting me to admit defeat isn't that easy!"

Upon hearing that, the Soul Heaven Emperor let out a cold snort.

Although the mantis beast soul was formidable, he was no pushover.

Before, it was merely that he didn't know the opponent's details.

Now that he knows the opponent is a bodiless remnant soul, who will win or lose in a fight remains uncertain!

After all, the name of his Soul Clan wasn't just randomly chosen.

As he spoke, a thought moved in his heart; he no longer cherished his blood reserves, and immediately began frantically mobilizing the blood-colored ocean in the sky.

"Since you're so formidable, this emperor wants to see whether your soulless beast can withstand the towering resentment gathered from hundreds of millions of beings!"

Within the flowing blood ocean, the Soul Heaven Emperor's palm came down hard.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, within the blood sea, streams of red-black smoke rose rapidly, then, like a sandstorm, swept heaven and earth as they surged forward violently.

And perhaps because of the previous lesson, the Soul Heaven Emperor worried about being attacked again by the opposing mantis beast soul.

The red-black smoke he unleashed gathered together, forming a "wall" of smoke that stretched for hundreds of thousands of li.

Thus, even if the mantis wanted to attack him, it would no longer be so simple.

Whoosh

And seeing that, the mantis beast soul indeed dared not lightly touch those black-red mists; it immediately vibrated its wings and flew up.

But soon, it rapidly waved its blades, continuously releasing huge wind blades tens of thousands of zhang long.

These wind blades, although unable to completely dispel those black-red mists,

But under its constant blowing and cutting, the Soul Heaven Emperor's black-red mists were quickly torn open, creating a vast gap hundreds of miles wide.

And seeing that, the mantis immediately rushed toward the opening ahead.

Because it excels in speed, in an instant it arrived above the Soul Heaven Emperor, then swiftly waved its blades, unleashing several vast wind blades tens of thousands of zhang long.

Hmph

The Soul Heaven Emperor, seeing that, let out a cold snort, and immediately kept moving around to dodge those wind blades.

After all, with the early warning from those black-red mists, he easily knew the attack route of the mantis beast soul.

And having lost the element of surprise, this mantis beast soul, which prides itself on speed,

Its intimidation naturally dropped significantly in an instant.

"Heh heh, senior, it seems your beast soul won't work against me!"

Seeing that he had easily resolved the mantis beast soul's attack this time, the Soul Heaven Emperor instantly regained confidence and couldn't help but laugh.

After all, he had painstakingly broken through to Dou Emperor just before, only to be beaten into such a sorry state by the remnant soul of a mere beast.

His Dao heart almost shattered at that moment.

Now that he had finally regained his standing, he felt he ought to belittle his opponent a bit, so as to recover his confidence.
