Chapter 3719: Spiritual Soul Attack
God King Wang Tianqi, although he does not dare to appear on the battlefield, has been constantly watching the situation there.
Seeing that all his tactics are being countered, he grows increasingly anxious. Ye Liuyun and his group have already begun setting up a fortified position, erecting several Formation barriers, and the maneuverable space is expanding; if they are not captured soon, they might actually slip away.
"Strike!" he says to the four Martial Cultivators beside him.
The four Martial Cultivators bowed and rushed onto the battlefield. Two of them, upon emerging, vanished straight into the void, while the other two hurried over and hid inside a courtyard, not revealing themselves.
These two wore black cloaks and hoods; although their realms are not especially high, their Soul pressure is extremely strong, clearly indicating they are powerful Soul Cultivators.
Clone Puppet was simultaneously shooting arrows and pulling Evergreen Vine into the Space World. Evergreen Vine's energy had been exhausted and could no longer be sustained, so it was sent back to rest.
Ye Liuyun summoned Qiong Qi to take on the role of arranging defensive formations.
He had not intended to send Qiong Qi on a risky venture, fearing it might be mistakenly injured by the opponent, but without a strong Formation Master, their formation speed could not match the enemy's breaking speed.
Yet before Qiong Qi could inscribe a Formation, Ye Liuyun felt a sense of danger rising within him.
Immediately he realized that Zhan Kong's connection to his Slave Seal had been severed.
He had planted a Master-Servant Contract on Zhan Kong, which suddenly broke without any prior warning from Zhan Kong, indicating that a stronger force within the void instantly killed it.
Ye Liuyun tossed talismans around his body, causing them to explode, while releasing the hidden Black Tortoise and Shadow to stand behind him as protection against assassination.
The War God Armor also wrapped his head, preventing a direct decapitation.
Just after arranging these, two flying daggers that emerged from nowhere on the opposite side shot straight toward his and Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness.
Their first reaction was to emit Technique.
To their surprise, the two daggers this time were not dissolved; they passed straight through the Technique.
The daggers flew at incredible speed; one plunged directly into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the other slammed into Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness Defense Array, was briefly hindered, yet broke through the array and entered Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Liuyun thought, "So it's a Spiritual Soul Attack; it seems not the danger I had perceived."
The dagger within his Sea of Consciousness had already been fixed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, posing no threat. He also realized why Technique could not stop the dagger: because they were not physical objects but Soul Blades woven from Soul.
However, this dagger was smaller in size, better suited for stealthy assassinations, likely deliberately forged by a Soul Cultivator as a weapon, differing from his own Soul Blade usage.
Within Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness, although the Soul Blade broke through the array and entered the sea, its power had greatly diminished, failing to pierce the Red Bell Shield. The Soul Blade, transformed by Clone Puppet's soul source, was slashed away, now tainted with Nether Ghost Fire and corpse poison.
At the same time, Clone Puppet's other soul source instantly set up another Defense Array at the entrance of its Sea of Consciousness, a double‑sided defense that prevented the incoming Soul Blade from escaping.
But then the real danger emerged: two silhouettes silently rushed out, one carrying Zhan Kong's corpse. After emerging, they tossed the corpse aside, and each wielded a short sword, thrusting toward Ye Liuyun and Clone Puppet's rear hearts.
"Puff"— a Soul Cultivator hiding behind the wall was back‑fired upon, and the other Soul Cultivator attacking Clone Puppet hadn't reacted yet, but realized his own Soul Blade was under attack.
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously unleashed their two powerful soul sources, and rushed toward Ye Liuyun and Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness respectively.
These attacks were launched simultaneously, and all were Fifth‑Tier Daoist Heaven strongmen, a seemingly certain death scenario. Ye Liuyun's realm is low, so even if he tried to dodge, it would be hard to dodge.
Just as the two swords behind him struck, the two Soul Cultivators' Souls,
also simultaneously surged into their Sea of Consciousness.
Even Clone Puppet was momentarily unable to react to this sudden assault. Though his realm is high, his newly set Defense Array was shattered by a single strike, and he now had to contend with a Soul battle.
Thus Ye Liuyun and Clone Puppet both took a direct assassination blow.
"Clang, clang"— two sounds rang, and the assassins who struck them were also startled. Their short swords were treasures, capable of piercing even Seventh‑Tier Daoist Heaven armor, yet now they could only make a white dot.
But the two, being professional assassins, were about to withdraw after the failed strike. Unexpectedly, two Black Lights behind them shot straight into their Sea of Consciousness, instantly annihilating their Souls.
Ye Liuyun's War God Armor, though it blocked the assassin's blow, was shaken so that he felt dizzy, his vital blood surging.
Clone Puppet fared better. However, the two soul sources that breached his Sea of Consciousness were also hard to handle, and he was fighting with all his might. The Soul within his Sea of Consciousness that bears Red Eyes is the strongest, using its Red Eyes to help the two soul sources influence the opponent's Soul.
The other two soul sources have transformed into Soul Blade forms. His Sea of Consciousness is now filled with Nether Ghost Fire and corpse poison, tightly imprisoning those two soul sources.
Those soul sources did not expect Clone Puppet's Soul power to be so strong. Yet upon seeing Clone Puppet's Soul appearance, they immediately realized it was either Ye Liuyun's original body or a clone.
Thus they rushed to report to the God King. Ye Liuyun's two Soul Blades also fought desperately to block them, preventing the information from being taken back.
However, the Soul Cultivator's two soul sources were too powerful; ultimately one escaped. With no other choice, Clone Puppet seized the moment before it got far and used Black Light to annihilate it, thereby exposing yet another trump card.
"Black Light?"
From afar, Wang Tianqi was stunned upon seeing the three Black Lights, thinking they were treasures, and regarded the Martial Cultivator beside Ye Liuyun as a talent, intending to capture him for his own use.
"But it's already too late to change the orders now!" he whispered.
"Boom"— a blast rang behind Ye Liuyun at that moment. He hadn't yet regained his strength from the earlier impact, and was instantly flung to the ground.
Qiong Qi's Formation was not yet completed when it was also flung away, and the two Black Tortoise monster beasts behind Ye Liuyun were blasted into the sky. Qian Meng, the Demon King, Ba Tian, Black Tiger, and the Enchanting Beast, among others, were further hurled into the Formation.
Only Clone Puppet fared slightly better, not being blown away.
Ye Liuyun, struck by this inexplicable explosion, was further dazed and bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
Clone Puppet turned around and realized that the entrance of a Secret Realm had been blown open. He immediately understood, "So that wasn't a Secret Realm entrance, but an energy explosion Formation disguised as one!"
