Chapter 3362

Before Qi Sang could figure out what the formation master was doing, a black stone stele flew out of Ye Liuyun’s soul sea and came crashing toward it, growing larger and larger as it flew.

A golden beam of light also flew out of the Dragon Woman’s soul sea—the third-level Void Rank Golden Soul Spear, specially designed to kill divine souls. It stabbed straight toward its soul source.

Qi Sang’s soul source hurriedly dodged, but several beams of black light suddenly shot out from the eyes of Lei Ming, White Tiger, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and the two Black Tortoises that had not turned invisible. They struck its soul source dead-on, blasting several small holes in it.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun and his clones attacked it with their Purple Eyes and Crimson Eyes. Lightning and flames suddenly appeared around its soul source as well, trapping it within. Chi Lian and Vermilion Bird also used their Crimson Eyes to help interfere with its soul source.

Qiong Qi also struck the formation toward the spot in the air where it was located, directly sealing its soul source in place. The formation contained a great deal of fire origin power, which began attacking the soul source.

Next, Ye Liuyun, his two clones, and Ye Tiandao all used Soul Roaming the Void to release seeds of blade intent, which slashed toward the soul source.

For a moment, Qi Sang’s soul source was completely stunned by everyone’s combined assault. It could neither escape nor dodge.

The Demon-Sealing Stele was still frantically absorbing its divine-soul power. The stele alone was already difficult for it to break free from, let alone Qiong Qi’s formation. Thus, its soul source was completely sealed in midair, leaving it to simply endure the attacks.

The seeds of blade intent unleashed by Ye Liuyun and his clones also carried the power of Buddhist light. Every blow inflicted considerable damage on its soul source. Soon, its soul source could no longer hold on, and its form appeared.

Ye Liuyun and the others all burst out laughing when they saw it.

“Isn’t it a little inappropriate for us to gang up on a divine-soul expert like this?”

Lei Ming asked the others with a laugh, but the Origin of Thunder did not slow down in the slightest as it blasted out another attack.

“Haha, it is a little inappropriate. We should respect the strong, after all!”

The Demon Lion also laughed heartily in agreement, while once again waving the Wind-Thunder Fan and sending a bolt of lightning fiercely toward the soul source.

The other demonic beasts also attacked while mocking the soul source, infuriating Qi Sang so much that it nearly vomited blood. Its soul source roared furiously in midair, but the sonic waves and other divine-soul attacks it unleashed were all blocked by Qiong Qi’s formation and could not reach them at all.

The demonic beasts had not even manifested their true forms, nor had they used their full strength. The black light had only been tested once before they stopped as well, so they were fighting with complete ease.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled without saying a word. By then, he and his two clones had already begun using incantations, and the Buddhist light wielded by the three of them instantly dispelled all the demonic energy from Qi Sang’s divine soul.

By then, Qi Sang’s soul source was riddled with holes and had also caught fire. The Dragon Woman’s golden spear was still stabbing through it again and again, while Ye Liuyun’s and Ye Tiandao’s four blades took turns slicing it apart.

The Crimson Eye’s illusion techniques were not very effective against such a powerful divine soul, but every time the Purple Eye refined into the first clone’s soul source was activated, cracks spread throughout Qi Sang’s divine soul.

Qi Sang simply could not determine who was attacking it. Everyone below was watching it, and it had no idea who possessed this special ability.

It did not take long before Qi Sang’s soul source was completely battered apart by their combined assault, then absorbed cleanly by the Demon-Sealing Stele.

“The soul source of a powerful expert really is formidable!”

After taking back the Demon-Sealing Stele and the seeds of blade intent, Ye Liuyun sighed with feeling.

He had kept count just now. Qi Sang’s soul source had been struck by the black light five times, pierced by the Dragon Woman’s golden spear four times, hacked sixteen times by the seeds of blade intent from him, his clones, and Ye Tiandao, and shaken apart twice by the first clone’s purple light. That did not even include the attacks from the other Crimson Eyes, the power of Buddhist light, lightning, and flames, or the absorption by the Demon-Sealing Stele.

After thinking it over, he felt that even his own soul source would not have been able to withstand so many attacks.

“Now you know how great the gap is between your divine-soul power and that of a true expert, right? In front of an expert like this, your temporal power can’t even display its might!” the Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

“Yes, that really is a problem! If I can’t use my temporal power, then combat will indeed become much more dangerous!”

Ye Liuyun still remembered how Purple Kylin Snake and Phantom Hand had died. Their divine-soul power had been far inferior to their opponent’s, preventing them from activating their temporal power.

That posed a considerable threat to him.

And it was not limited to the divine-soul expert who had come this time. There would certainly be Red Demons with even more powerful divine souls in the demons’ lair.

Ye Liuyun therefore began considering whether to let one clone rest temporarily and transfer all of that clone’s divine-soul power into his own soul sea for the time being.

With two soul sources, plus two relatively weaker divine souls, that should be strong enough.

“Just make do with that for now! If it isn’t enough, you can borrow the other clone’s divine soul too!” the Book Demon said.

Ye Liuyun thought about it. Given the strength of this demonic expert’s divine soul, even borrowing one clone’s soul source might not be enough.

This divine-soul expert might even have two soul sources. If it had not been investigating the situation, it might have been stronger than him even if he borrowed only one clone’s soul source!

Ye Liuyun immediately had everyone enter the main tent. After observing the situation on the planet opposite them and the movements of the demonic army, he entered the tent as well, collected everyone into his spatial world, and sent them back to cultivate.

He then borrowed the soul sources and divine souls of his two clones, leaving each of them only a strand of divine soul in the soul sea to maintain the clones’ cultivation of divine essence.

Afterward, he once again placed the three relatively weak divine souls into the Soul-Refining Cauldron, simultaneously adding three dragon souls so that they could be refined together.

“You’ve come around?” the Book Demon asked Ye Liuyun.

“Yes. The enemy is too strong. I don’t want what happened to Purple Kylin Snake to happen again.” After answering the Book Demon, Ye Liuyun went to discuss with Yu Xiaofeng how they could buy more time.

Before returning just now, he had already seen the demons’ three-hundred-thousand-strong vanguard landing on the planet opposite them. The rest of the army would be landing soon as well.

The two-million-strong demonic army was similar to the previous demonic army in strength and equipment; it was simply larger in number.

He had also seen Qi Sang himself and discovered that he had already begun recovering from his injuries. Qi Sang had lost one soul source yet had not immediately withdrawn, which was enough to show that he still had at least one equally powerful soul source and therefore dared to remain here.

Yu Xiaofeng also came out at once and stood guard with Ye Liuyun in the main tent, observing the enemy’s movements so that he could make decisions at any time.

Ye Liuyun needed time to cultivate and improve, so Yu Xiaofeng had to find every possible way to maneuver against the demons and hold out until Ye Liuyun finished cultivating. Otherwise, with experts on the other side, their army would certainly be no match for the enemy.

Moreover, at this distance, the martial artists with powerful divine souls on both sides could detect one another without even using their Golden Eyes. If they made the wrong decision, the losses could be enormous.
