Chapter 392: Ye Qingcang Strikes!
Divine energy surged within the tomb.
The Golden Crow Thearch dazzled as he exuded with a colossal Thearch aura.
“What is this!?”
The hair on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood on end as he clutched his golden staff tightly and stared at the Golden Crow Thearch.
There’s something off about this old bird!
“Old Man Ye, what is this?”
Shen Tian communicated with Ye Qingcang. He also detected something strange about the Golden Crow Thearch.
“This fellow has another aura inside his body, which is fighting to gain control of the True Spirit.” Ye Qingcang spoke up. He seemed to have a vague clue about what was happening.
What!?
This is the Golden Crow Thearch, the most powerful practitioner across the five regions!
What kind of thing is able to steal the Thearch’s True Spirit?
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. He was indeed very unlucky after his providence declined.
Even the Thearch could not fend it off?
...
“When? How is it possible?” roared the Golden Crow Thearch.
The voice of the formerly majestic and regal Thearch was now filled with shock and disbelief.
“Even if my soul is completely annihilated, I will never cede control to you!”
The Golden Crow Thearch hollered as a golden light erupted from all over his body, causing the earth to shake violently.
The golden light flashed as energy surged into the Golden Crow Thearch’s body as if trying to subdue something.
Even the Golden Crow Thearch himself never expected for an outerworld Evil Spirit to be hiding in his body, leeching upon the remnants of his soul to infiltrate the five regions.
They were in deep trouble this time!
Evil energy surged inside the Golden Crow Thearch’s body, sending chills down everyone’s spines. It was clear that this terrifying presence wanted to gain control over the Golden Crow Thearch’s True Spirit!
“Hehehehe, you are just a little Golden Crow chick. And yet you want to resist me?
“Do you think it is so easy to break through the barrier between the Celestial World and the mortal world? Do you think the remnants of your soul could have returned without me helping you in secret?
“I only wanted to plant a seed in your body and make use of you to enter this world. Didn’t expect such a nice surprise.
“This fellow has a very impressive constitution. If I can overtake his body, I can definitely cultivate the most perfect Soul Manifestation.
“Hehe, you can struggle all you want, but you will be mine!”
A cold voice rang out in space, making everyone shudder in fear.
The earth and skies shook, and dazzling golden light clashed with the forbidding darkness before suddenly exploding.
A powerful, turbulent wind swept through, shaking the entire Immortal Abode Island.
In the end, the golden light was no match for the darkness. It started to ebb.
The Golden Crow Thearch’s physical body was enclosed in a layer of dark energy.
The Golden Crow Thearch’s soul was not whole in the first place. As a result, he was far from full strength. In addition, he had earlier expended a lot of energy transcending his nine Golden Crow sons. He was completely unable to fend against the power of that Evil Spirit.
“You guys, make your move quickly. Shatter my True Spirit!”
The Golden Crow Thearch hollered as he struggled to circulate the energy in his body to suppress the Evil Spirit’s power.
Unfortunately, it was not very effective.
“Senior Brother, do it. Help the Thearch to subdue that Evil Spirit!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura vibrated strongly. He could see that things were very grave now.
By the time the Golden Crow Thearch lost control to the Evil Spirit, it would all be too late.
If the Evil Spirit gained control over the Golden Crow Thearch and had access to his tremendous power, everyone in this tomb would die.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader moved decisively. Lightning flashed all over his body as his aura surged.
Magnificent lightning energy rose to form multiple streaks of Mixed Divine Lightning which exploded.
The terrifying power of the Mixed Divine Lightning shot toward the Golden Crow Thearch, destroying all the surrounding fabrics of space.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had given his all. He did not hold back at all.
This was the Golden Crow Thearch, after all. He had the full power of a Thearch and had once dominated the five regions.
If even such a powerful practitioner could be infiltrated, it was clear just how terrifying this Evil Spirit was.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not give his all, his attack would be completely ineffective.
“Evil being, take that!
“Supreme Ocean Staff: Hitting A Little Chick!!!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as he swung his golden staff vigorously.
His staff morphed into a massive golden pillar, swinging right toward the Golden Crow Thearch!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were both astonishingly talented. Even though their cultivation levels were suppressed in this tomb, the power they just displayed was far beyond that of a normal Sage.
Their powers combined were enough to turn over the entire five regions.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort rang out.
The dark energy inside the Golden Crow Thearch suddenly erupted like a tremendous wave, engulfing the Golden Crow energy.
At the same time, the dark energy formed a massive black hand which smacked down at the Mixed Divine Lightning and giant golden staff.
Boom!
A thunderous boom resounded while dust and ashes flew!
An attack that was powerful enough to stun all Sages was obliterated by that black hand.
The dark energy continued its rampant surging across the entire area.
Suddenly, endless darkness covered the skies and space, making everyone feel like they had fallen into a deep abyss.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were both forced backward, their heavenly aura struggling to fend off this energy.
“Damn, so fierce?”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus flew back from the impact, finding it very difficult to defend himself.
“Hehe, just a couple of mere mortal ants. How dare you try to stop my arrival.”
The Golden Crow Thearch appeared in the darkness. His aura was already completely changed.
The Thearch’s original red-gold light had transformed into dark energy swirling around him. He was no longer as magnificent and dazzling as before. Instead, engulfed by that dark energy, he looked like a bloodthirsty, murderous demon god.
Compared to his current aura, the previous nine Grand Golden Crows were nothing.
Yeap, nothing at all.
“We are in deep trouble now.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stared at the Golden Crow Thearch, clutching his golden staff tightly.
At a time like this, even he could no longer smile.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader remained silent, but his lightning avatar surfaced.
Ten divine beasts roared as Mixed Divine Lightning streaked across the skies. He was once again displaying his full strength.
,000 years ago, when the outerworld Evil Spirits had invaded this world, countless grotto-heavens, blessed-lands, and living beings had been annihilated.
Even many of the sacred grounds had been struggling in that battle. They had to use up all their resources just to scrape through.
Now, this outerworld Evil Spirit had appeared again and had taken control of the Golden Crow Thearch.
If they didn’t go all out to kill it, no one there would be able to make it out alive.
“Didn’t expect this lousy little world to have such a handsome human. Only such a superior-class physical body is worthy of me. I will descend in this world with that body to welcome my race’s great army.”
The evil Golden Crow Thearch smiled malevolently as he turned his bloodshot eyes on Shen Tian.
It was clear that the Golden Crow Thearch’s soul was not whole and was unable to maintain his full power.
The Evil Spirit fixed its eyes on Shen Tian’s physical body. It wanted to possess it.
“???”
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched slightly.
What the hell? Why is it that any Tom, Dick, and Harry want to take my body? Is it my fault that I am so handsome?
Never mind that the Golden Crow Thearch had wanted it. He was just mentioning it and didn’t seem serious.
But now this Evil Spirit that came out of nowhere doesn’t look like he is joking!
Dammit!
If Shen Tian broke through to the Nirvana realm this time, it would more or less be due to provocation.
As Shen Tian’s thoughts ran wild, the evil Thearch had already reached out his hand to capture him.
“Tian’er, be careful.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura vibrated strongly as he waved one hand. A dense lightning glow emerged, and a longsword appeared in his hand as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s aura erupted. A boundless and terrifying divine lightning glow surged.
At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was like the human form of Heavenly Punishment, about to make use of lightning tribulation to destroy this Evil Spirit.
Yes, it was the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra’s forbidden and most high-level chapter—Decalamity!
They had no choice but to go all out now.
“How dare you target my Martial Nephew. I will smash your head in!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ aura surged as he activated his Three Pure Ones in One Breath to create two clones. He was all ready to go against the Thearch!
This was a Thearch. Even though his soul was not whole now, he was still powerful enough to instill a heavy sense of fear in anyone below the Thearch level.
“Just a bunch of ants. Yet you dare to go against me? You are just like a bunch of ants trying to shake a tree. I am indomitable in this world!”
The evil Golden Crow Thearch sneered as he raised his hands. Dark energy erupted.
Darkness gathered in the skies to form a colossal black demon hand. It swept toward those two men with tremendous power.
“Chain array, bind!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s cold voice rang out as the lightning surrounding his body split out into countless chain-like lightning streaks as if he wanted to bind the entire world.
Lightning filled the skies, forming an astonishing array formation, completely sealing off the entire space.
The black demon hand suddenly landed and collided with the lightning, resulting in countless sparks. The lightning vibrated, and the dark energy surged and ebbed.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s body shook, and his heavenly aura vibrated intensely as if he was under immense pressure.
“Ah! I will kill you!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hollered as all three of him shot up into the air, charging straight at the evil Thearch with tremendous might and power.
Boom!
A loud boom shattered the air!
The three figures fell from the sky and landed onto the earth, creating a huge crater.
“Damn, this evil scum is too fierce!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ face and hair were streaked with dirt and dust. He had already given his best but was beaten right down.
Luckily, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s chain array was solid enough and was able to withstand the evil Thearch’s attack, but just barely.
Otherwise, the two of them would have been defeated a long time ago.
“Stubborn fools. I want to see how many times you can withstand my attack!”
The evil Thearch sneered. He had complete disregard for those men. He attacked once again.
A terrifying Thearch aura surged toward them. Every single attack would make the chain array vibrate violently as if it would shatter anytime.
“Old man, if you don’t make your move, we are going to die!” Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as he fought back against the Thearch with Sage-level power. But it was clear that his power still paled in comparison to the Thearch!
“Didn’t expect that I would have to step in in the end.”
A long sigh sounded out as a purple light floated up from Shen Tian’s body.
An elder clad in purple appeared. His image was faint and blurry, but his aura was very forceful.
The elder was none other than Ye Qingcang!
“Eh, who is this mighty practitioner?”
The evil Thearch’s dark energy seemed to withdraw a little due to Ye Qingcang’s appearance as if it was somewhat fearful of him.
“You are not worthy enough to know my identity.” Ye Qingcang’s tone was calm and very cool. “You are just the remnants of a soul. How dare you behave so arrogantly in front of me?”
“You have no idea what’s good for you. I will annihilate you!”
The evil Thearch gave a cold snort as his dark energy surged once again.
The entire space seemed to coagulate and shrink as if drawing back in order to burst out in one massive explosion.
An earth-shattering power was unleashed upon Ye Qingcang.
The fabrics of space collapsed, and the array was disintegrated.
“Even if you used to possess tremendous power, you are now just the remnants of a soul. How dare you provoke me. I will destroy the rest of your soul.”
The evil Thearch spoke malevolently, but he stiffened when a voice suddenly rang out.
“Yeah!
“Ah, so comfortable!
“Come, harder please!”
A relaxed voice drifted out, sounding rather pleased and satisfied.
There was even a hint of... ecstasy.
“What?”
The corners of the evil Thearch’s mouth twitched as if he had just realized that something was not quite right.
The terrifying power of his dark energy did not destroy Ye Qingcang. Instead, it was like he had just given him a massage.
“Eh? Why have you stopped?
“I have been alone for so many years. This is a rare chance for me to relax my muscles.
“Such a wet blanket! In that case, I will use you to practice my moves!”
A beam of light shot out.
He appeared before the evil Thearch like a flash of lightning.
Ye Qingcang raised his hand as if going to give a palm strike.
A massive hand suddenly appeared in the sky. It was hundreds of feet wide and came down with an immense force.
Boom!
A startling boom shook the entire Golden Crow tomb.
The evil Thearch was smashed right onto the ground, creating a huge crater. Dust flew up everywhere.
“Uh... Ah, ah, ah!
“Damn you!”
The evil Thearch roared with rage. When had he ever had to endure such degradation in this low-class world?
Even the Golden Crow Thearch, who had ascended to the Celestial World 80,000 years ago, was like an ant before him, easily squashed with just one finger.
He had planted a seed in the Golden Crow Thearch’s True Spirit.
He thought that after taking over the Golden Crow Thearch, he would be indomitable in the five regions and easily plunder the entire world.
He never expected that the moment he was reborn, he would encounter an old freak like this Ye Qingcang and be beaten up by him!
“Scoundrel!”
The evil Thearch’s pupils were dark red and filled with a bloodthirsty light. He radiated with an endless murderous vibe.
At the same time, a dark mist swirled around him as his aura grew increasingly terrifying.
It was clear that the evil Thearch was going full strength now.
“Angry now? So what? I am still going to beat you up! You Evil Spirit infant!”
Ye Qingcang snorted coldly. He had no regard for this evil Thearch at all. He conjured a huge hammer.
“Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Blazing Sun Hammer!”
Ye Qingcang raised his massive hammer. He looked so formidable that the dark energy surrounding the evil Thearch shrank back.
“Star-Smashing Hammer!”
“Moon-Lifting Hammer!”
“Wild Wind Hammer!”
“...”
It was like Ye Qingcang had transformed into a blacksmith. Hammer after hammer, he struck with tremendous force upon the evil Thearch, who had no chance at all to counterattack.
On top of that, Ye Qingcang kept chanting as he hammered down on the evil Thearch.
“Despicable Evil Spirit infant. Why didn’t you just stay home like a good boy? Why did you have to come out and make trouble?
“You are so naughty. Do your parents know about this?
“I will teach you a good lesson today. I will teach you how to behave properly and have consideration for others.
“How dare you target my god-grandson? I will hammer you to death!”
...
Boom!
The ground shook, and the mountains swayed!
The evil Thearch was defenseless under Ye Qingcang’s merciless onslaught. He was sent flying across the air by the beating.
Even the thick black energy around the evil Thearch started to vibrate intensely as if about to dissipate any moment now.
“Done!”
Ye Qingcang patted his hands and relaxed.
In his view, this Evil Spirit was no match for him at all. There was nothing to fear.
At that moment, a spine-chilling aura suddenly rose up, as if a peerless evil god had awakened.
A thick black fog surged out like a massive tsunami.
The evil Thearch charged out of the crater, and a gargantuan demon avatar had formed behind him.
“Mmm?”
Ye Qingcang’s eyes hardened. This Evil Spirit infant’s aura had become stronger.
Looks like this fellow is better than I thought!
“Haha, so this is the remnant soul from the God of War Palace!
“Didn’t expect you to have fled to the mortal world. And you are still in such a wretched state!
“When you were alive, your cultivation level must have been astonishing. Perhaps even comparable to mine.
“A pity that you are just the remnants of a soul now. And a homeless, wandering one at that.
“Hehe, I will destroy your soul today, even if I have to sacrifice myself!”
The evil Thearch roared malevolently. His aura surged fiercely like an evil god reborn.
A black demon fire rose from his body and surrounded him, making his aura grow even more terrifying.
Wave after wave of ferocious aura erupted from within the evil Thearch’s body. The fabrics of space shook as the black demon flames appeared as if they were about to set the whole world on fire!
“You are burning your soul?
“This Evil Spirit infant wants to drag that Golden Crow chick down with him in a kamikaze attempt!”
Ye Qingcang’s eyes hardened. He could feel that this Evil Spirit’s cultivation level was not low at all.
What they were seeing before them now was just the seed of a soul—a fraction of his full power.
Even so, if this soul seed self-destructed together with the Golden Crow Thearch, it would be an earth-shattering force.
At the very least, everyone on this side of the world would be defenseless against it!
If Ye Qingcang had his full power, he would not fear this at all. He could easily destroy this Evil Spirit.
Unfortunately, he was just the remnant of a soul now. On top of that, he was just a copy of the original.
The original Ye Qingcang was now drinking tea in the God of War Pagoda. Handling this situation with a copy was rather challenging.
“Hehe, you want to protect this youngster, right?
“Today, I will drag this young man down to hell with me!
“You want your God of War Palace to rise again? Dream on!”
The evil Thearch hollered. He knew Ye Qingcang was very powerful, and he would not be able to stop him if he wanted to leave.
As a result, he decided to target Shen Tian!
His energy continued to accumulate, and the pitch-black demon flames exuded a hair-raising aura.
The proximity to the flames alone would be enough to incinerate a Sage.
Ye Qingcang felt very frustrated as he observed the fearsome Evil Spirit.
If he was alone, he could leave anytime he wanted. This fellow would never be able to stop him.
However, Shen Tian was standing just behind him. If he left, what would happen to his dear god-grandson?
“Never mind, for my god-grandson’s sake, so what if I have to sacrifice this body?” Ye Qingcang shouted valiantly and stepped forward. “God of War Transformation!”
Ye Qingcang gave a low holler, and his body was immersed in a wondrous light. He charged into the demon flames.
Boom!
A loud boom echoed!
The boom was thunderous and earth-shaking.
The terrifying demon flames burst out and engulfed everything around it.
Ye Qingcang was caught in the midst of the explosion and had to endure a tremendous force. His divine aura vibrated violently.
“Oh no, I have gone too far.”
Ye Qingcang flipped his beard. The power of this copy of him seemed unable to endure the explosion.
Boom!
With another boom, the evil Thearch’s soul was already 99% burned. His power was already at maximum level. Sky and earth trembled before him!
“Dear children, if you don’t help me out, we will all be doomed!”
The corners of Ye Qingcang’s mouth twitched as his image slowly faded away.
The surging energy immediately charged toward Shen Tian.
