Chapter 626 - 261: Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Heaven, Infinite Tyrant Body (Part 3)

Chen Ping waved his hand, gathering the spiritual qi to form a giant hand. Grabbing the Treasure Light Crescent Halberd, he felt its weight. It had only a shallow scratch on the handle from the earlier Sword Rainbow Slash, completely unaffected in use.

"At least it’s a top-grade Dharma Instrument. Although it hasn’t developed spirituality, it’s much better than my Non-Action Halberd. Senior Sister, you don’t have a good weapon; this Crescent Halberd is just right for you."

As he spoke, Chen Ping tossed the weapon over.

"For me? Really for me? Junior Brother, you’re much better at using halberds than I am. Maybe..."

"No need. You’re the Unrivaled General, aren’t you? Am I, someone who’s about to proclaim himself emperor, expected to wield long weapons and charge into battle every day? That would be unfit for you all."

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head.

To be honest, he could use it, but adapting to local customs, his current identity was not suited for leading troops into battle. No matter how high his cultivation or how strong his martial force, it was the same.

In the eyes of his subordinates and the people under his rule, this would appear unstable.

Weapons are ferocious, and battles are dangerous. Charging into the frontlines each day, if anything were to happen, what hope would be left for everyone?

Moreover, as the Main General, it is definitely more dignified to guard the central military tent, where with a mere gesture, enemies turn to dust.

Constant fighting with swords, halberds, and spears would degrade one’s status.

"Then don’t regret it."

Han Xiaoru smiled so much her eyes nearly closed.

She completely forgot about the earlier danger.

She panted while waving the Crescent Halberd in her hand, slashing in dazzling arcs...

After stopping, she found a good horse, pointed the long halberd forward, and shouted, "Charge."

Behind her, over ten thousand Primordial Iron Cavalry responded in unison.

Amidst the cries of battle, they enclosed and crushed over two hundred Profound Mechanism Warriors like a great millstone.

After just one incense stick of time, the last of the Profound Mechanism Warriors was slain. Han Xiaoru, smelling victory, pursued with five thousand Great Li Cavalry, charging straight toward Fengling Pass.

Simultaneously, from afar, the rumble of hooves could be heard as forty thousand more cavalry arrived.

The leaders of the troops were Han Wushang and Sun Yun.

This time, Chen Ping did not intervene.

He merely floated in the air, watching Han Xiaoru wield the Treasure Light Halberd in a frenzied charge, seeing the enemy fall in droves before her.

He also watched his fifty thousand cavalry surge like a tidal wave over a long dam, charging right up to Fengling Pass.

With one halberd strike, the city was breached and they rushed into the pass.

Feeling his Divine Sense slowly recovering in his Sea of Consciousness, and being able to fully deploy the "Soul-Breaking Cone," Chen Ping felt somewhat assured.

No need to mention.

His strongest technique was actually neither his swordsmanship nor his extremely formidable strength and nearly indestructible True Dragon Body.

But rather the "Arc Light Realm" soul forged through two lifetimes and refined in the Heaven-Reaching Tower World.

According to Fang Qingzhu, once the soul reached the Out-of-Body Realm, it could challenge the Divine Martial Realm.

Thus, the Out-of-Body Realm soul is effectively a Peak of Unity Realm Soul, capable of developing Divine Sense.

Truly speaking, it is comparable to Peak of Tier Six Soul Power.

In general, cultivators, even after breaking through to the Divine Martial Realm, find the soul realm more challenging to ascend compared to True Essence Magical Power and Body Forging aspects.

Therefore, most Divine Martial Realm cultivators have merely Tier Six Soul Realms.

Occasionally, a small number reach Tier Seven Manifest Saint Soul Realm, making them outstanding geniuses with unparalleled future prospects.

This became clear to Chen Ping during Situ Yun’s "Trace Origin and Steal Fortune" possession.

Hence, when he fought Venerable Yuxiao and Situ Yun, even though his cultivation realm was inferior, he always held the upper hand, making defeat nearly impossible, which made sense.

With a powerful soul, Divine Sense becomes formidable.

His mastery over techniques, True Essence Magical Power, and physical power control was on a higher level than his adversaries.

Even if True Essence Amount had a weakness, he wouldn’t be disadvantaged in single-unit attacks and defenses.

With a soul level of Manifest Saint Realm, it was considerably stronger than these individuals.

Moreover, his soul producing Arc Light signifies a further level advancement.

Almost solely relying on the Power of Divine Sense, he could stir winds, collapse mountains, and effortlessly employ combined spells, see through moves, and so forth.

It was an absolute domination in rank.

Thus, his soul level and his self-developed soul attack maneuver "Soul-Breaking Cone" could be classified as Tier Eight moves.

Soul-wise, he reached the threshold of the Law Dao Alchemy Realm.

This was why Chen Ping could easily shatter the Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Heaven Technique and consistently succeed in attacks.

The only downside was that his self-created "Soul-Breaking Cone," while it sounded impressive, was actually a rather crude soul aggregation, directly projected outward.

This relied purely on innate power, lacking any real profundity.

"Unfortunately, creating powerful Divine Power Techniques is not something I should be concerned with at my level. If I ever get the opportunity to formally learn a genuine Soul Attack Technique, I could essentially walk freely within the Divine Martial Realm... even when facing Tier Eight Dao Alchemy Realm opponents, I’d have a measure of self-preservation strength."

Chen Ping sighed; for now, this was all he could do.

The +2080 Tribulation Points flashed in his Sea of Consciousness, lifting his spirits somewhat.

After reaching the Divine Martial Realm, each breach of a level consumes more Tribulation Points.

By the time he would have to break through to the Divine Martial Seventh Level, the small bottleneck of Late-Stage Divine Martial, he’d require around 8000 Tribulation Points... Having completed a quarter of this task was fairly good.

Of course, presently ascending from Divine Martial Fourth Layer to Fifth Layer has no bottleneck. By conquering the fifty or so cities behind Fengling Pass, consolidating the people’s loyalty, issuing edicts, and drawing upon this increased fortune to refine his True Dragon Dharma Body, who knows if he can ascend this level?

"Enter the pass."

The central army had already received the message, slowly advancing to the entrance of Fengling Pass.

Chen Ping descended from the sky and ordered the entry.

The area within the pass had already been cleared; after just a day of rest, Chen Ping arranged for the generals to set out, dividing the forces into three paths to sweep across each prefecture and county.

He himself remained at Fengling Pass, cultivating and waiting for fortune’s rise.
