Chapter 1246: Dao Merging Tier Divine Soul Obtained; the Central Array Spirit Computer Is About to Advance

The clash between the two sides fell momentarily silent as both suffered grievous wounds.

But only for a moment.

Boom!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow, having recovered part of its power amid the countless strands of the Yuanci Heavenly Dao law-net, re-entered the orbit of the Yuanci Heavenly Dao rule-net and shot at extreme speed toward the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator, who now had only half a body left.

At this point one could see that, although the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow's speed and might were still a fearsome attack among Dao Merging tier, they were already far inferior to the very beginning—at most sixty percent of its power, and its stability was certainly far below its complete state.

If the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator could erupt eighty percent of his original strength, the victory in this battle would belong to him; at the very least, escape would pose no problem whatsoever.

"Damn it!"

"You seven damn dogs—if even one of you had been willing to risk tribulation crossing with me at the same time, we could have destroyed the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect right now!"

The Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator let out a bitter laugh.

Eighty percent of his peak strength?

Right now he had only a head and some flesh on his shoulders left; the rest of his body had been reduced to ash. Where would eighty percent of his strength come from?!

Yet he was not in despair.

"Yuan!"

"Don't you want the Dao Merging divine soul structure?"

The Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator's head—only some flesh on the shoulders and neck remaining—opened and closed its mouth as he roared: "Then take it!"

"Ah…"

He let out a wretched scream.

He abruptly drove a broken arm into his own skull, forcibly gouging out a clump of golden brain matter, refined it into a fist-sized avatar, and hurled it into the distant starry sky.

As for the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator himself, he burned his last drop of essence blood and fled in the opposite direction!

At this moment, two fleeing Brother Xuanwu figures appeared in the cosmic starry sky.

One was the main body, the other a fist-sized avatar.

The common point was that both carried an intense aura of self-detonation, in the midst of a frenzied yet slow self-explosion. Without external force to intervene, or unless they themselves stopped it, they would inevitably blast apart and perish—not even a fragment of divine soul remaining—and would never give their opponent any chance to capture them.

The ferocity of a body cultivator makes one shudder in awe!

At this moment, the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator posed a multiple-choice question to the immortal sect.

Pursue his main body—and inevitably be unable to stop his suicide, with absolutely no chance of capture, ending up with nothing at all.

Or pursue that avatar, using overwhelming force to block the avatar's self-destruction, thereby obtaining a sample structure of a Dao Merging tier divine soul?

"Everyone,"

"What do we do?"

Yuan, facing a major decision, instinctively consulted the collective will of the immortal sect fleet.

to inquire.

This was his habit, and an important reason why he enjoyed such support from the entire immortal sect.

Even those with differing political views, the metal-machine science maniacs, the untamed Great Sun sword cultivators—all deeply respected him and were willing to follow his commands. There were reasons for all of this; nothing happens without cause.

"The split soul!"

"The Dao Merging divine soul structure!"

"Our current strength is insufficient to suppress the realm's starry sky!"

"If the central array spirit computer cannot advance to the Dao Merging tier, then we must bombard the remaining seven Weixian Sect grand cultivators right now, forcing them to undergo hasty tribulation crossing. We cannot leave the war for the future—we don't have that much time."

"The further on it goes, the greater the chance we fail and the sect is destroyed!"

In almost an instant, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, Senior Wanji Master Dinghai Zhenjun, Zhenjun Shenji Master Dinghai Zhenjun, and nearly all the Soul Transformation cultivators roared in unison.

At this moment, the collective will of the immortal sect fleet was so unified there was almost no deviation; the occasional dissenting voice was instantly persuaded and merged into the mainstream will.

This was also Yuan's own will!

"Then—kill!"

Yuan roared.

Whoosh!

After the Sun Star array node and curse imprint both confirmed it was a complete split soul, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow shot out from the Yuanci Heavenly Dao law-net orbit, completely ignoring the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator's main body, and struck toward that fist-sized golden-light avatar.

A seventh-tier Dao Merging treasure arrived in an instant!

The arrow body bloomed with endless Yuanci Heavenly Dao rule radiance, firing out a Yuanci rule law-net that landed on the Brother Xuanwu avatar, instantly sealing it and halting its internal self-detonation and self-destruction.

So easy, so simple!

This avatar, hastily refined by the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator, possessed only around mid Void Refinement strength—far too feeble against a seventh-tier attack.

Even though it contained various self-destruct traps and prohibitions, they were all useless; the tier suppression crushed everything, swept away every hidden trick, and restored a complete Dao Merging tier split soul form.

It was not that the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator didn't want the avatar to possess more power.

He did not dare.

Because once the immortal sect saw no hope of capture, they would completely abandon the avatar and go after his main body, bombarding him—whose Shen Hun Yin had not yet been fully branded into the Heavenly Dao—until not even dregs remained.

After weighing all options, he could only do this much, hoping the avatar would draw the immortal sect's attention while also self-destructing, denying them any gain.

Unfortunately, the perfect ending did not appear.

Hum!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow bloomed with streams of sealing radiance, threads of dark-gold light flickering, employing the highest Jin Zhi causal sealing secret art to completely seal this

mid Void Refinement avatar on every level—magic power, fleshly body, divine soul, and even the causal space layer.

Although this avatar contained no memories whatsoever—the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace grand cultivator had severed them all, denying any opponent the chance to pry into the sect's or his own secrets.

But this did not matter.

This split soul, containing the Dao Merging essence and the divine soul structure of a Dao Merging cultivator, was the most precious treasure of all.

The seal was completed in an instant!

Yuan's gaze turned toward the distant starry cosmos.

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow likewise completed the process of re-entering the orbit of the Yuanci Heavenly Dao rule-law net, locking onto that frantically fleeing figure, with no intention of truly letting him escape.

Regrettably,

that golden figure had already vanished without a trace, hiding itself completely.

Most of the curse-positioning within his divine soul had been forcibly dug out and placed in a split soul; the remaining residual curse had been suppressed, losing its ability to locate him.

Although the time to seal the split soul was only an instant—less than one-tenth of a breath—for a Hedao Divine Monarch it was still far too long, enough to do many things and flee to a very distant place.

Now, to capture the gravely wounded Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong great being of the Xuantian Heavenly Palace, one could only rely on luck, carefully searching the vast, endless cosmic starry sky.

If he could be found, he could certainly be slain.

This was beyond doubt.

The current great being of the Xuantian Heavenly Palace was weakened to the extreme, having almost fallen from Hedao, and could not possibly be a match for the Immortal Gate's fleet of hundreds of millions of citizens.

And the Immortal Gate intended precisely to do so.

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow returned, breaking free from the orbit of the Yuanci Heavenly Dao rule-law net, bringing a fist-sized split soul, carefully placing it at the strongest point of the divine wood Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong's array power within the central array-spirit computer mainframe—the strongest point of the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie boundary-setting array.

"Hahaha…"

"A Hedao divine soul structure!"

"The key to the central array-spirit computer's breakthrough!"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, Senior Wanji True Venerable, and others gazed with burning eyes, laughing heartily; a great weight lifted from their hearts, and they no longer had any doubt about the Immortal Gate's right to survival within the realm.

"Protect it well."

Yuan placed the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow back into the Yuanci Heavenly Dao law net, setting a program to patrol the realm's starry sky and search for any trace of Brother Brother Xuanwu's aura.

This was not the end.

"Senior Wanji, Zhenjun Shenji, Dari—you three hold the fort at the Nine Spirit Realm; I'll be back soon."

Yuan said fiercely: "I'm taking the fleet out for a spin, trying to find Brother Brother Xuanwu, and while he's gravely wounded, I'll finish him off—otherwise I really won't be able to swallow this."

"It took so much to beat him into this state!"

"That bastard has always committed countless evils—surely his luck can't be this good, right?"
