Chapter 671: Soul Chain

This arc of electricity was as thin as a gossamer thread, and its faint purple glow gave off a very gentle feeling, yet everyone knew clearly that the power contained in such an inconspicuous arc of electricity was enough to level a mountain ten thousand fathoms high!

A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the Chaos Insect King. Not daring to hesitate any longer, he moved his Divine Sense, and the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image flashed above his body. As the six hands lifted simultaneously, a cluster of golden radiance appeared in his palms. Before the Golden Light could even act, the purple lightning had already arrived right before him!

What the Insect King did not expect was that this arc of electricity ignored the existence of the Golden Light, passing directly through the middle of it, then piercing through the body of the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image, and taking effect upon him!

His entire body shuddered; the Chaos Insect King only felt as if his body had been pricked by something sharp, and then his whole body became somewhat numb!

"Not good!"

As soon as this feeling arose, the Insect King was shocked. It turned out that this purple arc of electricity, while seemingly astonishing in power, also contained a tyrannical supernatural ability: paralysis!

The moment the purple arc of electricity entered the Insect King's body, it reached his Divine Sea directly, making his entire Divine Sea feel as if it were undergoing a world-destroying attack!

With a booming explosion, the Insect King's vision blurred, and he nearly fainted! At the same time, five-colored arcs of electricity flickered incessantly within the Evil Qi on Zhang Nuo's body; it seemed the backlash of the Five Thunder Forbidden Technique had begun!

"Fellow Daoist Yanluo! Are you not ready yet?"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Nuo transmitted his voice to the Yanluo Son of Heaven in the distance. At this moment, the Yanluo Son of Heaven slowly opened his eyes, glanced toward Zhang Nuo's side, and suddenly let out a long howl! Afterward, the black Nascent Soul above his head also let out a soft cry, and after its two small hands formed the final Dharma seal, its figure flashed and arrived high in the sky!

The Nascent Soul pressed one hand toward the void below, and immediately the entire Wujian Diyu shook violently. Then, several strands of Yin Qi condensed into substance, forming a giant hand several dozen zhang in size beneath the Nascent Soul's small hand!

Next, a bizarre scene occurred! From all directions of Wujian Diyu, bursts of rumbling sounds emerged, followed by the continuous sound of metallic collisions!

No one understood what secret technique the Yanluo Son of Heaven had activated to make Wujian Diyu become like this, especially those metallic clashing sounds, which were like demonic sounds piercing the brain! Even these existences at the Great Accomplishment Stage could not help but have their expressions change slightly! As for the Chaos Insect King, he did not feel the changes in the outside world at all!

In his Divine Sea, that purple lightning was like a dancing flood dragon; after several impacts, it had already made the Insect King suffer unspeakably!

Taking advantage of the moment the Insect King was paralyzed, the Yanluo Son of Heaven's Nascent Soul high in the sky chanted bitter and incomprehensible incantations, and the metallic clashing sounds within Wujian Diyu grew louder and louder.

Swish! Swish!

Several beams of white light shot in from all directions of the hell, and in the blink of an eye, they all converged onto the black giant hand beneath the Nascent Soul! Only then did everyone see clearly that they were actually white chains.

The chains were as thick as an arm, and there were thousands of them. Although the surfaces of these chains emitted a faint white light and lacked the texture of metal, they emitted metallic sounds!

"Soul Chain!"

A sharp glint flashed in Jialouluo's eyes. These white chains were the legendary items used to bind powerful souls. Back then, in order to trap the Chaos Insect King, the Underworld had used this very item to seal him. However, this technique would greatly damage the practitioner's soul; once a mistake occurred, one could very likely fall into an irredeemable situation!

Looking toward the main body of the Yanluo Son of Heaven in the distant sky, one could see that his black face had no expression at all, and his hands were merely changing Dharma seals mechanically!

With a clattering sound of metallic collisions, the black giant hand beneath the Nascent Soul threw the thousands of white chains in its grasp toward the Chaos Insect King!

Immediately, these chains seemed to have eyes, resembling white long snakes, and they bound the Insect King and the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image above his head tightly!

"Human Emperor! It's up to you!"

After finishing all this, the Yanluo Son of Heaven's Nascent Soul let out a shrill cry! His gaze fixed, he looked at Zhang Nuo! Witnessing this scene, Zhang Nuo's whole body jolted, and the five-colored arcs of electricity wrapping around him dissipated slightly, though the taste of being backlashed by the five thunders simultaneously was truly hard to bear!

Looking at the Chaos Insect King bound by the Soul Chain, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath, and then a ferocious smile appeared on his face. This was their last chance; if they failed, everyone would be buried in this Wujian Diyu!

"Eight Meridians! Fully open!"

Boom! As soon as Zhang Nuo uttered these four words, a loud explosion erupted from within his body, and at the same time, surging Demonic Qi poured out from the Taiji Divine Sea within him! Furthermore, the thin Demonic Qi in Wujian Diyu instantly turned into fine threads, gathering onto Zhang Nuo's body!

This was the first time Zhang Nuo had fully opened his Magic Meridians. He instantly felt his body filled with power, and the pain from the Five Thunder backlash lessened quite a bit. However, he knew very well in his heart that once the effect of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins wore off, his body would be several times weaker than before!

In order to slay the Chaos Insect King, Zhang Nuo could not care about much else. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image also arrived above his head, and the eight huge Magic Meridians within his body flickered a few times before opening completely!

With one person and one Dharma Image running two sets of Magic Meridians together, the entire Wujian Diyu erupted with a roar, as if it too sensed this unusual power! The white Soul Chains locking the Insect King and his Dharma Image trembled lightly, and the sound of metallic collisions echoed endlessly throughout the vast Wujian Diyu!

Boom!

A loud noise erupted from within the Chaos Insect King's body, and at the same time, a pale purple radiance was forced out of the Insect King's body along with this sound!

"Humble low-level creature! This King will..."

After forcibly expelling the purple arc of electricity from his body, the Insect King roared in anger. But before he had finished half his sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking down, he discovered that his body had been bound by several white chains, and even moving a small finger was extremely difficult!

Some of these white chains had already submerged into his body and were charging toward his soul!

"Back then you used this kind of thing to bind this King's soul; now you want to repeat the same old trick?"

In a fit of rage, the Chaos Insect King moved his body slightly, and immediately a powerful force surged from within him, snapping the Soul Chains that had submerged into his body!

This time, not only were Jialouluo and the others shocked, but even the Yanluo Son of Heaven's Nascent Soul high in the sky had his expression change drastically. He had not expected that after waking from the seal, the Chaos Insect King had actually found a way to break the Soul Chain! Judging by that last move, it hadn't taken much effort at all!

Calculating based on this, in no time at all, all the Soul Chains binding the Insect King would completely lose their effectiveness!

"Human Emperor! We don't have much time!"

The black Nascent Soul transmitted his voice to Zhang Nuo again, but at this time, Zhang Nuo seemed unable to hear anything. He raised both hands upward, and all the black Demonic Qi surged into the body of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image!

From within the body of the Dharma Image came a sound of bones cracking, and a human-shaped skeleton rapidly appeared inside the Dharma Image. Under the shroud of Golden Light, this skeleton shone brilliantly, filled with power!

But what shocked everyone was not just this; the evolution of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image did not stop. After the skeleton appeared, the black Demonic Qi and the Golden Light intertwined, and a layer of skin began to grow! At the same time, within the Divine Sea vision behind Zhang Nuo, the figures of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts condensed and, after flashing, vanished into the body of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image!

Instantly, the skin formed by the black-gold radiance on the surface of the Dharma Image surged like flames; viewed from afar, the Dharma Image looked as if it were composed of flames!

The Chaos Insect King had been struggling against the binding of the Soul Chains. Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura coming toward him. Turning his head to look, the muscles on his face could not help but twitch a few times!

At this moment, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image was like a Demon God from the lower realms, with immense power that was almost exceeding the existence of a True Immortal! If he were truly struck by it, the Chaos Insect King dared not imagine the consequences!

Immediately, he exerted force throughout his body, wanting to break free from the bindings as quickly as possible! But at this moment, Zhang Nuo's eyes widened sharply, and two cold glints of killing intent burst from his pupils!

"Chaos Insect King! Take a blow from this Emperor!"

After speaking, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and the red light in the eyes of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image above his head shifted, then it let out a low roar! The muffled roar shook the void for thousands of miles around!

Following that, the Dharma Image grabbed toward the void in front of it with one hand, and immediately, countless amounts of Demonic Qi gathered in its palm. In the blink of an eye, it formed a black giant spear several hundred zhang long!

This spear was composed entirely of Demonic Qi, but the materialized Demonic Qi had even greater power; as it flickered, it seemed as if the Dharma Image were holding a black giant dragon in its hand!

"Black Dragon Spear!" This was a move that could be used after the Eight Extremes Demon Veins had cleared all the meridians!

The Phantom Immortal Dharma Image moved its wrist lightly, and the sharp spear tip pointed at the Chaos Insect King! Its figure leaned back slightly, assuming a posture as if to throw it!

However, it did not throw it immediately. Just as the Dharma Image's body leaned back, a flash of spiritual light appeared at the tail of the "Black Dragon Spear," and two streams of air, one black and one white, quickly drilled into the spear! Afterward, a rhombus-shaped crystal emitting five-colored light also silently submerged into the giant spear!

Zhang Nuo did all of this very covertly. Everyone's attention was focused on the spear tip that was about to be thrown, and no one noticed what had happened at the back at all!
