Chapter 1738: Just a soul-divided incarnation

The Huánggōng Old Ancestor's eyes were practically spitting fire right now; if looks could kill, Ye Zhangqing would have died hundreds of times already.

He wished he could rush straight into the Lock Heaven Great Formation and tear Ye Zhangqing apart limb from limb, only then would his anger be appeased.

"Why don't you seniors figure something out yourselves? After all, I have the Huánggōng's supreme treasure, the Lock Heaven Great Formation, here—I'm not panicking, take your time to consider."

But Ye Zhangqing ignored him completely, instead turning his head to speak to the God Clan Old Ancestor.

Moreover, when he said the words "Huánggōng's supreme treasure," Ye Zhangqing deliberately stressed his tone, intentionally emphasizing them.

Seeing that, the God Clan Old Ancestor also gave the Huánggōng Old Ancestor a sympathetic glance—this person, truly, the tides have turned.

When you mess with someone, you must be ready for their retaliation.

Moreover, in his heart, the God Clan Old Ancestor formed a new opinion of Ye Zhangqing: this kid usually acts lazy and indifferent, as if he cares about nothing.

But actually, his mind isn't that broad either; once he bears a grudge against someone, he will surely seek an opportunity for revenge.

But right now, the God Clan Old Ancestor truly has no alternative, no second option.

So we can only sacrifice the Huánggōng Old Ancestor a bit—besides, it's not about taking your life, just giving him a beating.

"Fine, I agree."

The God Clan Old Ancestor nodded seriously; seeing that, Ye Zhangqing added uneasily:

"Why don't you seniors swear a Heavenly Dao oath? After all, it would put the junior at ease."

"Damn, why do you have so many demands?"

Seeing that, the Huánggōng Old Ancestor again shouted in anger, while the God Clan Old Ancestor and the two others, though their faces were somewhat strange, still issued the Heavenly Dao oath under Ye Zhangqing's demand.

But the three thought, "Does Ye Zhangqing not understand? We are currently soul-divided incarnations, not our true bodies descending."

What use is a Heavenly Dao oath sworn by a soul-divided incarnation? It has no connection to our true bodies.

Even the Huánggōng Old Ancestor, upon realizing this, felt contempt in his heart—"Hmph, no wonder he's a piece of trash from some backwater ditch."

He doesn't even know this much—what does a Heavenly Dao oath sworn by a soul-divided incarnation have to do with my true body?

By then, even if they refuse to acknowledge it, what can this kid do?

Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin still wanted to warn Ye Zhangqing that he had been tricked.

But before the two could speak, Ye Zhangqing already smiled and took out a memory stone from his sleeve.

"I secretly recorded just now, seniors, you won't blame me, will you?"

Huh???

Looking at the memory stone in Ye Zhangqing's hand, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three others—including the Huánggōng Old Ancestor—had strange faces, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.

Just now we thought this kid was clueless and had been duped, but now it's clear he's sly as hell, obviously having prepared a backup plan long ago.

He had even prepared the memory stone in advance; the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three others glanced impassively at the Huánggōng Old Ancestor, who wore an expression like he'd just lost his father.

They secretly sighed, realizing this beating was unavoidable for him.

"Naturally we won't blame you, junior—rest assured, our words are binding; once this is over, we will surely fulfill our promises."

"That's fine, but later I hope a few seniors will also use the memory stone to record this, and have the elder and sect master of the Dao Yi Shengdi act as witnesses, in case the junior can't make it back in time."

To prevent the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three from going easy on him, Ye Zhangqing even thought of Yun Xiantai and Qi Xiong.

With those two present, the God Clan Old Ancestor and his companions would have absolutely no chance to hold back.

Seeing that, the Huánggōng Old Ancestor nearly fainted from rage, while the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three could only nod resignedly.

This kid really thought of everything; the Huánggōng Old Ancestor probably can't escape this time.

Seeing the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three nod, Ye Zhangqing then nodded at Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin to signal it was okay.

Seeing that, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three finally breathed a sigh of relief; the four of them joining forces to deal with this corpse was indeed under tremendous pressure.

Moreover, the longer the time dragged on, the greater the pressure on the four became, steadily increasing.

With the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and the Eternal Night Old Ancestor helping, the situation would certainly improve significantly, and only then would they have a chance to kill this corpse.

With Ye Zhangqing's approval, Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin also hesitated no longer, each taking out their soul-divided incarnation tokens and crushing them.

As the tokens shattered, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's and Eternal Night Old Ancestor's soul-divided incarnations quickly condensed into form outside the formation.

Two waves of Ancestor Realm-level aura shot up into the sky; seeing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor finally arrive, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three at last relaxed.

Only the Huánggōng Old Ancestor gritted his teeth, silent, mentally cursing Ye Zhangqing's ancestors eighteen generations over.

As a distinguished Ancestor Realm existence, when has he ever suffered such indignity, especially at the hands of a junior, and yet he had no recourse.

Fuming, the more he thought, the angrier he got; the angrier he got, the less he could do; and the less he could do, the angrier he became.

But now no one cares what the Huánggōng Old Ancestor thinks—just as he once forced Ye Zhangqing onto the Ascension Path, the current situation leaves the God Clan Old Ancestor and the three with only one thing to say to him.

Namely, the greater good comes first; the dagger that once stabbed others is now plunged into the Huánggōng Old Ancestor's body.

Unknowing of what had transpired before, the soul-divided incarnations condensing into form—like the God Clan Old Ancestor and his companions—meant the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor obviously focused all their consciousness on these soul-divided incarnations.

Thus they appear no different from their true bodies, though their combat strength is somewhat weaker.

Upon appearing, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor furrowed his brow slightly, while the Eternal Night Old Ancestor didn't even look, just shouted while grabbing his neck.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You're already failing after such a short time? Do you want me to come wipe your butt again?"

"Cut the chatter, look over there."

Hearing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's words, Hei Lin's face instantly darkened, his mouth twitching as he angrily pointed at the corpse battling the God Clan Old Ancestor and the four, speaking with displeasure.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor didn't care at all, evidently accustomed to Hei Lin's attitude toward him.

Following the direction of his finger, when he saw that corpse, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor first froze, then immediately burst out cursing.

"You little brat, trying to betray your master and annihilate your ancestors? You unworthy disciple, do you think this thing is something I can beat?"

Even before engaging, just sensing the corpse's aura, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor felt a wave of pressure.

"What the hell kind of monster is this? I don't think I'm a match for it."

Seeing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor do nothing but back down, Hei Lin also didn't indulge him, curling his lip and saying:

"Cut the nonsense, it's just a soul-divided incarnation—if it dies, it dies; what are you afraid of?"

Wayward disciple, listen to what you're saying—what do you mean it's not just a divine soul avatar? A divine soul avatar doesn't cost money, huh? Do you have any idea how much effort it takes for me, as your master, to get you a divine soul avatar?
