Chapter 161: Fushan Crosses the Sea (Thanks to the old book fan who keeps reading)

Hum~~~

The ear-piercing, violent vibration was accompanied by a sharp humming, causing the soldiers of the Huai Kingdom army to involuntarily cover their ears, but it was of no use; large swaths of soldiers collapsed to the ground, wailing in agony.

A transparent, circular space expanded outward, centered on the point where the four individuals clashed, destroying everything in its path and reducing everything within that space into tiny particles.

This was the overlapping space created after the collision of Space Power; two different frequencies of spatial vibration appeared in the same location simultaneously, acting like two blades slicing back and forth, triggering this phenomenon that destroyed everything.

Boom—!

Finally, the overlapping space could no longer withstand the massive burst of energy and shattered directly, with streaks of transparent spatial fragments spraying out like arrows.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master and the other two retreated violently, a flash of wariness in their eyes.

Too strong!

Qin Jiang's physical strength was truly too outrageous; not even a Dragon Race member or a Titan God Ox of the same rank possessed such a formidable physique!

Is this guy really not some special type of Demon in human form?

"Impressive! You truly live up to your reputation! Fighting an eighth-rank as a seventh-rank, and even being able to span realms after reaching the late stage of Divine Martial! I underestimated you!"

The Jinyu Pavilion Master shouted loudly, raising his right hand high; infinite black Qi emerged from the void, gathering in his palm like a whirlpool.

Before long, a pitch-black bead appeared in his hand.

The Red Phoenix Division Master's expression changed slightly, "You brought it!"

This pitch-black bead was named the Soul-Forbidden Bead; it was the Jinyu Pavilion Master's life-bound Divine Artifact, crafted using the remains of a Demon from years ago as raw material, supplemented by various precious metals and jades, and it was only half a step away from being a True Divine Artifact!

Usually, it was nurtured in Wanzang Valley while seeking the opportunity to break through to a True Divine Artifact; he had not expected it to be brought here this time.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master nodded slightly; in truth, he had not intended to bring it, but there was no help for it—if he could not kill Qin Jiang this time, the Prince had said he wanted to give Qin Jiang a chance.

If Qin Jiang were willing to defect to the Prince, his future status would inevitably be above his own, which was something he could not tolerate.

Grasping the Soul-Forbidden Bead, a feeling of blood-line connection came over him, and there was even a trace of spiritual fluctuation.

This Soul-Forbidden Bead was nearly at the point of developing an artifact spirit, at which time he could begin the process of transforming it into a True Divine Artifact.

It could be said that with the Soul-Forbidden Bead in hand, he was now equivalent to two Divine Martial Peak experts combined into one, and his combat power had undergone a qualitative change.

"Sect Master Qin, you are truly strong. I have never seen a prodigy like you; killing you is truly a regrettable matter," he said softly.

The indifferent voice pierced through space, and even inside Wanghai City, it could be heard clearly.

The Third Elder's expression changed drastically; he hurriedly sent the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in his hand out, shouting: "Junior Brother! Catch the Divine Artifact!"

Without a Divine Artifact in hand, one was naturally at a disadvantage; in a great battle like this, any slight disadvantage was fatal!

Qin Jiang raised his hand slightly, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl landed in his palm.

Seeing this, the Third Elder on the city wall breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The next second, before he had even finished exhaling, while his body was still in a relaxed state, a dazzling golden light lit up from the shores of the Mo Sea, so bright that even he felt it was blinding.

In the distance, on the shores of the Mo Sea, a golden sun rose from the ground, and one could faintly see the phantom of a golden bell within it.

He could not stop trembling, "The eighth layer! Divine Sun Golden Bell! Junior Brother has actually mastered the eighth layer!"

Inside the Mo Sea warship, Fushan looked at the golden sun in the mirror with some astonishment.

"Good lad, he really is a freak! How much time has passed, and he has actually stepped into the eighth rank!"

He shook his head slightly, filled with regret; the eighth rank, known as the Divine Martial Peak, was a rank that had stuck countless prodigies for a lifetime.

Even he had spent nearly a hundred years to step from the seventh rank to the eighth rank.

Even so, he was still called a youthful True God.

For a four or five-hundred-year-old old man to be called a youthful True God showed just how extraordinary it was; it was a realm that ordinary Martial Artists could not reach even after pursuing it for a lifetime!

Dong~~~

The heavy bell toll shook the air, and spatial cracks spread for a thousand miles.

Qin Jiang held the golden bell with one hand and tossed it slightly forward; the golden sun slowly descended.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master stood frozen in place holding the Soul-Forbidden Bead; beside him, the Red Phoenix Division Master and another seventh-rank Martial Artist turned into two rays of divine light and rushed into the distance.

But they had only flown a few dozen meters before they were frozen in place, unable to move forward an inch!

The Red Phoenix Division Master's eyes were full of shock; how could this be?! Just by aura alone, he could solidify space?! Is this something a Martial Artist can do?!

On the other side, the seventh-rank Martial Artist who had been transferred from the border army was slightly stronger and was still struggling hard, swinging his axe to hack, but it was of no use.

Whoosh——!

Thick black Qi spilled out; the Jinyu Pavilion Master held the Soul-Forbidden Bead high, and countless streams of black Qi burst forth, taking the shape of wailing human faces.

Those were the souls of the dead that he had captured into the Soul-Forbidden Bead before they could dissipate, becoming the bead's nourishment, never to be reincarnated.

Dong——!

The scorching golden light shone, and streaks of golden light pierced through the black mist; the moment the black-mist faces touched the golden light, they dissipated, leaving behind wails in the void.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master's face was ferocious; he looked at the Soul-Forbidden Bead in his hand, his heart turned ruthless, and he smashed it!

In an instant, black mist several times more turbulent than before surged out, barely blocking the descending golden bell.

After a stalemate of several breaths, the golden bell was gradually swallowed by the black mist, but there was not a hint of joy on the Jinyu Pavilion Master's face.

He looked at the sky, where dark clouds were gradually gathering, and streaks of lightning flashed within them.

This was not a natural disaster triggered by the shattering of the Soul-Forbidden Bead, but a Heavenly Tribulation triggered by the resentment of those countless wronged souls.

It was fortunate that the Soul-Forbidden Bead had already shattered, otherwise, this Heavenly Tribulation would have already descended.

But this was only a temporary delay; the true target of those wronged souls was himself!

The power of sentient beings' thoughts could not be underestimated; this Heavenly Tribulation was enough to severely injure him! He already had little chance of winning, and if he were severely injured, he might as well just wait for death!

In the distance, the Red Phoenix Division Master and the seventh-rank border expert exchanged a glance and turned into streams of light, flying to his side.

It was not that they did not want to leave, but they knew that if they left now, the Huai Wang and the Grand Marshal would not let them off easily.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "Fight with all your might in a moment, only then will we have a chance of survival! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will only die!"

The Red Phoenix Division Master remained silent, quietly removing her hairpin; her dark hair cascaded down, and the hairpin transformed into a Blood Red Long Sword.

That Seventh-tier Divine Martial Artist at the border also stepped into a lunge, holding his giant axe diagonally behind him, his energy circulating throughout his body.

Opposite him, Qin Jiang shook his head in disappointment; this Fushan really knew how to keep his cool.

Looking at the Jinyu Pavilion Master and the other two, since it had come to this, these three were of no further use.

Once he killed these three fellows and slaughtered the Huai Kingdom army, he did not believe Fushan would still be able to sit still!

He raised his hand, and a humanoid phantom appeared behind him; the humanoid phantom possessed no imposing aura, merely slowly raising its hand.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master's expression changed drastically, and he could not help but exclaim in shock, "A True Spirit Phantom! He is about to become a god! No! Run!"

They would die! They would absolutely die!

Who the hell could have imagined that this guy was actually a Demigod!

"Hahahaha! Unexpected! Truly unexpected! I have lived for a thousand years, yet I can still see such a fine talent as you!"

Above the Mo Sea, Fushan laughed loudly, and a majestic Shenying rose behind him, striding across the sea toward them.
