Chapter 694: I Shouldn't Be So Full of Nonsense Like You

Jiang Yi's soul let out an earth‑shattering wail; the soul was under attack, and that pain was many times greater than a normal injury.

Divine Execution Thunder transformed into a violet thunder sea, unleashing astonishing destructive power.

The soul is both strong and weak.

A powerful soul can be strong enough to destroy heaven and earth.

A weak soul can also be as fragile as a bubble of light.

Jiang Yi's body was invaded by an unknown Soul Tribe; since it's called a tribe, its soul is not weak.

But now it has entered Jiang Chen's world, and because Divine Execution Thunder can still act within the soul, it appears weak.

Three consecutive Divine Execution Thunders, the thunder sea roared, completely devouring Jiang Yi's soul. Jiang Yi roared in pain within the thunder sea, "You will regret it; my Soul Tribe will not let you go. We will forge you into a puppet, seal your soul, and you will never be reborn!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "We'll discuss the rest later."

His eyes bore murderous intent; he had already formed a killing resolve and would never spare Jiang Yi.

Divine Execution Thunder can not only destroy the flesh but also erase the soul.

Jiang Yi's soul suffered severe damage, growing weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, its soul erupted with dazzling Red Light, which pierced Jiang Chen's soul realm and vanished without a trace.

The remaining souls exploded with a boom, and blood‑colored Soul Energy surged, turning the entire soul space crimson.

"Self‑destructed; in the end, it was quite decisive."

Jiang Chen hadn't expected Jiang Yi to self‑destruct his soul.

Facing the sweeping soul shock, Jiang Chen remained calm.

The Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal spewed a blast of dragon breath, shielding Jiang Chen. Then it inhaled sharply, drawing in most of the soul attacks.

The remaining attacks landed on Jiang Chen's soul body, but the dragon breath protection rendered them ineffective.

A few breaths later, the Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal expelled another burst of dragon breath, which turned out to be the soul attacks it had just inhaled.

These Soul Energy were purified by the Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal into pure Soul Energy.

The Soul Energy quickly merged into Jiang Chen's soul, which instantly radiated dazzling light.

"Leveled up…"

Jiang Chen's soul glowed, and his body glowed as well.

He leapt from Level 77 to Level 79.

He jumped two levels at once, far exceeding Jiang Chen's expectations.

This upgrade speed is insanely fast and exhilarating.

Jiang Yi's soul tier is extremely high; perhaps because he belongs to the Soul Tribe, his soul's quality is also excellent.

While Jiang Chen gained a bounty of Soul Energy for upgrading, his soul tier also rose.

He was originally half a step shy of Level 93; now that half‑step is fully crossed, and his soul tier truly reaches Level 93.

Both level and soul tier rose, dramatically boosting Jiang Chen's combat power.

The haul this time was far from meager; the only regret is that he couldn't extract more dialogue.

He learned that Jiang Yi is a Soul Tribe member, an outsider.

Might there be more outsiders lurking in every corner of the world?

Perhaps they have possessed someone, or exist by other means.

Unable to discern, it gave Jiang Chen a headache.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh and said to Li Xueru, "Teacher, it's over!"

【8】 Li Xueru asked, "Did Jiang Yi die?"

Li Xueru asked, "Jiang Yi is dead?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes, he's dead. Shut down the Eternal Great Wall." Li Xueru nodded and retracted the Eternal Great Wall.

The blood array was still operating, but Lao Hong and his group were dismantling it. No one intervened, and the 999 blood arrays could soon be completely cleared.

Li Xueru manipulated the Shenlong Tower, and beams of light fell onto the blood array of Fortress No. 9, destroying it.

Fortress No. 9 has been completely shattered; only the walls remain intact, thanks to the protection of the Eternal Great Wall.

Rebuilding the entire fortress will also take considerable time.

Li Xueru looked at Jiang Chen and said softly, "He's not a righteous god, right?" Jiang Chen nodded, "Never was."

Li Xueru pointed at the sky and asked, "Did he come from outside?"

Jiang Chen nodded again, "Yes, he calls himself a Soul Tribe; his soul is like a worm, quite disgusting."

"However, its soul is strong—stronger than that of our peer Human Race."

"It should be a race that excels in souls."

Li Xueru's expression turned serious, "Besides it, is there anyone else?" His concern matched Jiang Chen's.

"Can't determine; I tried to coax his words, but failed."

"He finally self‑destructed his soul; nothing remained."

"Teacher, I'm going to fetch Antares; I'll leave this to you."

Li Xueru nodded, "Go then; we'll take care of things here."

During this blood array activation, many practitioners were affected. Many were injured, and some were instantly devoured by the blood array and killed. Numerous follow‑up tasks remain, and Li Xueru and others must oversee the situation here to ensure everything is handled safely.

Jiang Chen activated Antares's Dragon Scale and teleported away.

"Why didn't you sleep this time?" Jiang Chen looked at Antares, his eyes clearly angry.

Antares deliberately turned his head away from Jiang Chen, "This dragon sleeps when it wants; if it doesn't want to, it won't. I'm not sleepy now, I don't want to sleep!"

Jiang Chen flew to Antares's front, "You're avoiding it."

Antares turned his head again, humming, "What is there to avoid?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Jiang Chen still wouldn't let Antares off, and flew again to its eyes.

"No." Antares simply closed his eyes, hiding himself this way, which only made his timidity more evident.

Jiang Chen didn't press the point, "Since that's so, I'll ask and you answer." Antares said, "I'll answer when I want to; when I don't, don't try to force me to speak."

Jiang Chen didn't care, "Did you already know Jiang Yi had a problem?"

"Yes." Antares admitted plainly.

Jiang Chen pressed, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask, and besides, were we familiar back then?" Antares said with an air of obviousness.

Jiang Chen said, "Is it that because I don't ask, you keep silent?"

"You don't ask what I say; I'm not like you, always babbling."

Jiang Chen quickly pressed, "Were you already thinking just now how to answer my question, having guessed what I'd ask?"

"Of course!" Antares blurted out, then instantly realized it was wrong, "No…"

"I understand!" Jiang Chen interrupted Antares's words.

Antares grew sullen, staring at Jiang Chen with his eyes open, "Can you at least have a proper conversation? Cutting someone off is very impolite."

Jiang Chen said, "Is treating a good friend like this considered polite? If a disaster occurs, what then?"

"Isn't it just a matter of the Soul Clan? What's there to say? Isn't it already killed by you!"

Antares shouted, "Besides, I'm not as if I didn't act; I just helped you block its lingering soul."

"Letting its lingering soul escape—do you know how huge the aftereffects would be?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, "Lingering soul?"

He was slightly surprised, not expecting Jiang Yi still had such a move.

Openly it's a self‑detonation, secretly it's to let its lingering soul escape.

He is of the Soul Clan, clearly knows souls far beyond us, and must have a way to restore the lingering soul.

Obviously Antares gave me a hand again.

Antares looked at Jiang Chen, knowing he had understood.

Hu Hou haughtily snorted, turned his head and ignored Hong Hong Zhu. Jiang Chen softened his tone, "Can you tell me about the Soul Clan?" "Apology!" Antares slowly uttered the two words, but did not refuse Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I was indeed impatient just now." He had indeed been a bit angry; if Jiang Yi's sword at that moment had not been aimed at Ye Chen Shi but had struck Lao Hong,

Lao Hong might not have escaped unscathed,

If something had really happened, Jiang Chen would regret it.

So that's why he was a bit angry at Antares.

But now, thinking back, it really wasn't Antares's fault; I wasn't familiar with it back then.

Jiang Chen flew to in front of Antares's eyes, less than half a meter away, and bowed sincerely, "I'm sorry, Lord Antares, I was wrong this time!"

"You are magnanimous enough not to quibble with me, right?"
