Chapter 1390: with translation of chapter title
He throws his hands up in frustration!
As soon as the Soul Heavenly Emperor's words fell, the Spirit Communion Sect Ancestor opposite him instantly felt a hint of anger rise on her beautiful face.
Even her delicate brows furrowed slightly at this moment.
You may call the beast soul inside my talisman ugly; that's fine.
But if you say I'm old, damn it, I'll kill you!
Thinking this, the blue-haired woman wasted no words, immediately commanding the mantis beast soul to attack the opponent.
At the same time, she formed seals with her jade hand, and vast heavenly and earthly energy swiftly gathered behind her.
In the blink of an eye, the boundless, rich energy formed a circular blue spell formation a thousand zhang in diameter behind her.
"Moon-Tracing Lotus!"
Once the formation was set, the Spirit Communion Sect Ancestor instantly changed her hand seals, then raised her jade hand high and pressed down fiercely.
Meanwhile, as she acted, the sky where the Soul Heavenly Emperor stood instantly began to gather innumerable vast heavenly and earthly energy.
Under the blue-haired woman's control, a boundless huge ice lotus swiftly appeared on the distant horizon.
Soon, the huge ice lotus hanging in the high sky, carrying a mighty momentum, plummeted down from the heavens.
Along its path, both heavenly and earthly energy and space were instantly frozen.
When the ice lotus contacted the black-red mist below, the things the mantis beast soul feared instantly condensed into ice chunks of various sizes, which then fell straight down under the continent's gravity.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Seeing this, the mantis beast soul excitedly vibrated its wings and swiftly attacked the Soul Heavenly Emperor.
"Damn it."
Then he, seeing this, dared not clash head-on with the beast soul, and hastily unleashed another blood-colored sea wave several thousand zhang high, rushing straight at her.
At the same time, he himself swiftly retreated several thousand li.
After all, his previous battle experience let him clearly realize.
If we faced each other head-on, even if I won, I would surely not die but be crippled.
Thus, facing the unharmed Spirit Communion Sect Ancestor, I would surely have only a dead end!
However, the blood-colored sea he unleashed soon encountered the blue ice lotus falling from above.
"Crack."
Under the bone-chilling cold of the ice lotus, the Soul Heavenly Emperor's blood-colored attack began from above, and as the ice lotus fell, it swiftly condensed into a wave-shaped ice block a thousand zhang in size.
Soon, that ice block swiftly fell toward the ground below.
Finally, with a tremendous boom, the thousand-zhang-sized blood-colored ice shattered into countless ice powder, scattering in all directions.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As the blood wave receded, before the Soul Heavenly Emperor could catch his breath, several thousand-zhang wind blades shot toward him.
Seeing this, he dared not be careless and hastily unleashed an equal number of blood-colored palm prints to defend.
At the same time, he himself sped backward at full speed.
"Hmph, today I'm unlucky, but I want to see how long your beast soul can last. I'll come back in ten days or half a month. Then we'll see if your beast soul can still exist in the world!"
Seeing that he truly could not match the opponent's combined force of one person and one beast soul, the Soul Heavenly Emperor gave a cold snort, then without lingering, shot straight toward the north.
"Chase!"
Watching the Soul Heavenly Emperor's fleeing back, the Spirit Communion Sect gritted her silver teeth, and with a clear, cold voice, instantly turned into a swift blue streak of light, chasing after him.
After all, as he said, she is currently using this talisman.
The beast soul summoned cannot exist for long.
Likewise, this one-time talisman cannot retrieve the beast soul again.
If in this battle we let that native Dou Emperor escape successfully, wouldn't we be wasting this precious talisman for nothing?
And this outcome is obviously not what she hoped to see.
As for the mantis beast soul, it received the former's command.
It also, without hesitation, hurried along the enemy's escape trail, straight toward the north where he had fled.
"Hehe, you've come chasing?"
Just as the person and beast soul behind pursued fiercely, the Soul Heavenly Emperor ahead, upon sensing this, not only did not get angry, but the corners of his mouth slightly rose.
Looking at this, it seemed he had achieved some goal.
And in this flight, in the blink of an eye, the Soul Heavenly Emperor arrived at the junction of Gu Nanfang Dalu and the Southern Continent.
Seeing the two sides battling fiercely before the shattered seal, he hesitated not at all, and with a sweeping gesture unleashed several ten-thousand-zhang-long Dou Qi ribbons.
"Bang! Bang!"
Where those Dou Qi ribbons passed, any Spirit Communion Sect Dou Saint they touched instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
As for the strongest, Han Yu and Qiu Yue, they became the primary targets of the Soul Heavenly Emperor's attack.
Thus, from the start, each had a Dou Qi ribbon flung at them.
"Damn it!"
Facing the Dou Emperor's attack, Han Yu and Qiu Yue's eyes flared with rage, then they each shook off the enemy and fled at full speed to the side.
After all, even the stubborn ones know that a Dou Saint and a Dou Emperor are like earth and heaven, utterly incomparable.
No matter how they resist, they cannot possibly block a single strike from a Dou Emperor!
However, the Soul Heavenly Emperor, a Dou Emperor, having set his mind on taking their lives, they certainly wouldn't escape easily.
Thus, before they had fled far, the blood-colored Dou Qi ribbon caught up to them and lashed fiercely at both.
"Bang! Bang!"
Immediately after, accompanied by two somewhat dull explosion sounds, Han Yu and Qiu Yue, who had repeatedly escaped unharmed under Lin Feng's hand, finally turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished forever from this world.
After all, the Soul Heaven Emperor at this moment is not like in the original novel, playing cat-and-mouse with Gu Yuan.
Moreover, everyone of the Soul Spirit Sect at this moment is engaged in a fierce battle with the Soul Clan's Dou Saints.
It is simply impossible to, like Gu Yuan in the original, unite almost all the continent's experts except the Soul Clan to resist the Dou Emperor's attack.
Therefore, under the Soul Heaven Emperor's full-force strike, there is naturally no chance of survival.
As for the people of the Soul Clan, seeing the Soul Heaven Emperor flying over in a hurry, they suddenly felt a strange sensation.
The three of Hun Shengtian then stepped forward, clasped their fists, and said: "Clan leader, you."
However, their words had not yet finished.
The former directly used Dou Qi to wrap up everyone, then continued flying north at full speed.
"Damn it, our sect will definitely kill you today!"
At the same time, the Soul Spirit Sect's ancestor who arrived later from behind, seeing that his subordinates had been more than half wiped out by the Soul Heaven Emperor in an instant, clenched his silver teeth, and that peerless beauty capable of overturning kingdoms was instantly filled with rage.
"You all retreat on your own, I'll go kill that person!"
As she passed the remaining Dou Saints of her sect, she quickly left behind an order.
Then, without stopping, she took the mantis beast soul and continued the pursuit forward.
If one were to say, her previous plan was merely to heavily injure that native Dou Emperor.
Then, after her side's strength had risen, she would have a final showdown with the opponent.
So now, the Soul Spirit Sect's ancestor has directly overturned her previous plan.
No matter what today, she will definitely kill the culprit who heavily wounded her Soul Spirit Sect!
After all, the Soul Spirit Sect was on the brink of annihilation back then.
She had expended an unknown amount of energy to cultivate these people.
Now, the Soul Heaven Emperor's strike has directly killed the vast majority of elites; it's no wonder she's furious!
Especially seeing the death of her trusted subordinate and Han Yu, who was most likely to advance to Dou Emperor later.
The blue-haired woman, at this moment, could not help but have her full, supple bosom heave wildly from anger.
Thinking of this, she commanded the mantis beast soul: "Do not hold back power; give our sect the utmost speed to catch up with that person ahead."
"Whoosh!"
Upon receiving the command, the mantis beast soul's form flickered slightly, and then its speed increased by another one-third.
Directly using its own body, it shattered the space along the way, rushing toward the Soul Heaven Emperor's figure like a sharp blade!
"Damn it, this beast's speed is too fast. Indeed, these veteran Dou Emperors have many tricks; it's best to quickly and completely slay him. Otherwise, later we won't know what other methods she might employ."
Meanwhile, the Soul Heaven Emperor sensed the inquiring aura approaching from behind, and his face instantly darkened.
At this moment, he finally fully believed Lin Feng's earlier words.
This Soul Spirit Sect ancestor is indeed a Dou Emperor powerhouse from the ancient era who has survived to the present.
The means of summoning the remnant soul of a magic beast at the Dou Emperor level out of thin air could not possibly be possessed by a cultivator at the Dou Saint level.
Moreover, where would a tenth-rank magic beast come from in the present Dou Qi Continent?
Therefore, it is likely that the mantis is a powerful tenth-rank magic beast from the era of the ancient Dou Emperor.
Then, after undergoing who-knows-what, it was ultimately captured by that blue-haired woman, and she even came to control its remnant soul.
Of course, what the Soul Heaven Emperor did not expect is that the Soul Spirit Sect is not at all from the Dou Qi Continent.
Thus, his conclusion may have been correct, but his reasoning was completely wrong!
However, this cannot be blamed on him, after all, who would have thought that this beast soul came from the Hundred Source Continent.
And the two sides racing across the continent's skies naturally did not expect that, after they departed, the skies above the Soul Spirit Sect's encampment would suddenly undergo a dramatic change.
Next, among the tens of thousands of Soul Spirit Sect cultivators below the Dou Saint level in the camp, their eyes filled with astonishment.
The color of the sky over their encampment suddenly shifted from the previous azure to rapidly turning pitch black.
Light, too, at this moment, abruptly vanished without a trace.
And after that boundless black curtain swept across the sky, after their encampment regained light.
Those tens of thousands of people before had completely vanished without a trace, unknown where they went.
At the same time, the remaining Dou Saints of the Soul Spirit Sect in the north, upon seeing their ancestor set off in pursuit.
Being unable to help, they could only curse bitterly in place, then helplessly fly back to their own encampment.
However, while the dejected crowd was flying, they suddenly discovered that the sunlight in the sky they were in had swiftly disappeared completely.
The sky that originally had a faint blood-red hue rapidly turned into a sheet of pitch black.
"Eh, what's going on, why did the sky turn black?"
And one of the Soul Spirit Sect Dou Saints, after halting his form and looking up at the sky, scratched his head in bewilderment and said.
"Oh no, there are enemies, quickly scatter and flee!"
However, some quick-witted ones also soon sensed something was wrong, and then hurriedly shouted in panic.
While speaking, they hesitated not at all, directly picking a random direction and darting off.
His words also caused some people to suddenly awaken from a dream, then, without caring about anything else, they hurriedly fled to their preferred locations.
Of course, the choice of the majority among them was still the direction where their ancestor had disappeared to the north.
After all, they are not stupid; running to the southern camp would be inviting wolves into the house!
As for other places, there simply are no reinforcements to help.
Thus, the direction their ancestor went to the north naturally became their first choice.
However, these Soul Spirit Sect people clearly underestimated the strength of the newcomer.
Just as they scattered in all directions fleeing, the black curtain in the sky swept past.
Immediately afterward, a powerful suction that none of them could resist burst forth.
In the blink of an eye, these remaining Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints were all sucked into it.
Translation: "In the blink of an eye, these remaining Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints were all sucked into it at once."
Check: "these remaining Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints" = "these remaining Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints". Good.
And when that black curtain disappeared and the sky returned to normal, those Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints had long since vanished without a trace.
Translation: "After the black curtain vanished and the sky returned to normal, those Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints had already vanished without a trace."
In this sky, there is not a trace to show that those people had ever been here.
Note there is a stray period at end inside the line? We'll keep as is but translate: "In this sky, there is not a trace of their having been here."
Damn it!
Translation: "Damn it!"
Just as those Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints vanished for no reason, the Hun Tian Di, who knows how many tens of thousands of li away, likewise fell into trouble at this moment.
Just as those Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints vanished for no reason, the Hun Tian Di, who knows how many tens of thousands of li away, likewise fell into trouble at this moment.
But we need to keep the nuance: At the moment those Spirit Communication Sect Dou Saints vanished for no reason, the Hun Tian Di, who knows how many tens of thousands of li away, likewise fell into trouble.
Behind him, the mantis beast soul's terrifying speed brought it within a hundred zhang of the Hun Tian Di in less than five breaths.
Translation: "Under the terrifying speed of that mantis beast soul behind him, within less than five breaths, it had already appeared less than a hundred zhang behind the Hun Tian Di."
However, his distance from the Zhongzhou Continent still required at least three more breaths.
Translation: "However, he is still at least three breaths away from the Zhongzhou Continent."
But the problem is, the opponent can cross such a vast distance in less than five breaths and catch up to within a hundred zhang of him.
Translation: "But the problem is, the opponent can cross such a vast distance in less than five breaths, pursuing to within a hundred zhang of him."
At this short distance, there simply isn't three breaths of time for him to run into Zhongzhou!
At this short distance, there simply isn't three breaths of time for him to flee into Zhongzhou!
Damn it, once I reach Zhongzhou, you'll regret it.
Translation: "Damn it, once I reach Zhongzhou, you'll regret it!"
Damn it, once I reach Zhongzhou, you'll regret it.
Thinking of this, the Hun Tian Di couldn't help but curse inwardly, then quickly turned his body.
Translation: "Thinking this, the Hun Tian Di couldn't help but curse inwardly, then quickly turned his body."
Next, vast swaths of heavenly and earthly energy tides spanning over ten thousand li were violently drawn toward him.
Translation: "Immediately afterward, vast expanses of heaven and earth energy tides, each spanning over ten thousand li in width, were violently drawn over by him."
At the same time, immense soul power continuously emanated from his mind, eventually merging with the enormous heavenly and earthly energy above.
Translation: "At the same time, boundless soul power poured forth endlessly from his mind, finally merging into the vast heaven and earth energy above."
Amidst the endless heavenly and earthly energy and the ocean-like soul power pulling each other, a massive black bell tens of thousands of zhang tall suddenly formed in the sky.
Translation: "Amid the endless heaven and earth energy and ocean-like soul power pulling each other, above the sky a ten-thousand-zhang black great bell suddenly took shape."
As the great bell formed, the Hun Tian Di suddenly halted his body, and while the mantis beast soul brandished its blade and attacked forward, he quickly caused the great bell to plummet violently.
As the great bell formed, the Hun Tian Di suddenly halted his body, and while the mantis beast soul brandished its blade and attacked forward, he quickly caused the great bell to plummet violently.
To prevent the mantis beast soul from escaping, he quickly raised his palm and unleashed a bloody giant palm, crashing forward.
Translation: "Moreover, to prevent the mantis beast soul from escaping, he swiftly raised his palm and unleashed a blood-colored giant palm, which boomed forward to attack it."
As for the beast soul, upon seeing the Hun Tian Di's bloody giant palm, it immediately brandished its blade and easily sliced through the energy palm.
Translation: "As for the beast soul, upon seeing the Hun Tian Di's blood-colored giant palm, it immediately waved its blade and easily sliced through that energy palm."
Then, closing in, the swinging sharp blade shot out several blade auras, easily cutting through the Hun Tian Di's Dou Emperor body.
Translation: "Then, closing in, the swinging sharp blade emitted several qi blades, which easily cut through the Hun Tian Di's Dou Emperor's body."
Thus, several deep wounds exposing bone quickly appeared on his palm.
Translation: "This caused several horrifying wounds, deep enough to expose bone, to quickly appear on his palm."
You beast!
Translation: "You beast!"
As the Hun Tian Di fled backward at breakneck speed, he felt sudden intense pain in his palm and couldn't help but curse aloud.
Translation: "As the Hun Tian Di's figure fled backward at high speed, he felt a sudden excruciating pain in his palm and couldn't help but cry out in pain."
Nightmare Abyss Bell, go!
Translation: "Evil Abyss Bell, go!"
Immediately, with a thought, he controlled the nearby colossal bell in the sky and slammed it down, enveloping the mantis beast soul within.
Translation: "Instantly, with a thought, he controlled the nearby ten-thousand-zhang giant bell in the sky, which came crashing down to envelop the mantis beast soul."
Squeak!
Translation: "Squeak!"
Having fallen into the opponent's trap, the mantis beast soul instantly panicked, bouncing back and forth inside, seeking an exit.
Translation: "Having fallen into the trap, the mantis beast soul immediately panicked, bouncing back and forth inside, seeking an exit."
However, that great bell seems to be specifically designed to counter soul techniques.
Translation: "However, that great bell seemed to be a technique specifically designed to counter souls."
Hiss!
Translation: "Hiss!"
Whenever the mantis struck the bell's wall, it was like water approaching a scorching sun; its body instantly hissed, emitting large amounts of white smoke.
Translation: "Whenever the mantis struck the bell's wall, it was like water approaching a scorching sun; its body immediately began emitting large amounts of white smoke amid the hissing sound."
At the same time, the mantis's body became slightly illusory.
Note there is a stray period after the quote? We'll translate: "At the same time, the mantis's body also became slightly illusory."
As for the great bell, after enveloping the mantis beast soul, it did not stop descending but continued to plummet toward the ground with tremendous force.
Translation: "As for that great bell, after enveloping the mantis beast soul, it did not stop but continued onward with the force of ten thousand jun, vast and mighty, plummeting mightily toward the ground."
Clang!
Translation: "Clang!"
In an instant, the great bell violently struck the ground, emitting a deafening roar; the surrounding mountains and rivers were instantly shattered to pieces.
Translation: "In an instant, the great bell violently struck the ground, unleashing a deafening roar that instantly shattered the surrounding mountains and rivers."
Moreover, the great bell sank directly into the ground to a depth of over a thousand zhang.
Translation: "As for that great bell, it directly sank into the ground over a thousand zhang deep."
At the same time, the surrounding soil was violently thrown up to a height of ten thousand zhang by that shock. (End of chapter)
