Ye Jingyu’s Heaven and Earth dual souls completely merged into the Heaven-Shaking Seal, causing the Seal to instantly swell to the size of several acres, descending like a small city with crushing force…
Around the periphery, arcs of lightning flickered amidst tendrils of black flame, seemingly capable of devouring everything in their path…
Innumerable violent winds materialized, and before the Seal even landed, they enveloped Xu, Xuanyuan Jing, and the six Sacred Beasts entirely. Despite their Saint-level attainment, they found themselves utterly unable to evade such immense might…
Feeling the colossal pressure emanating from the Heaven-Shaking Seal, the six Sacred Beasts roared in unison. Six beams of golden light shot forth from their bodies, coalescing into a single shaft thicker than ten feet, which slammed fiercely against the descending Heaven-Shaking Seal…
This was the ultimate burst of energy from the six Sacred Beasts facing imminent death. Such a beam, striking a great mountain, would be sufficient to pulverize it into dust…
Even against a Profound-tier Soul Artifact like the Heaven-Shaking Seal, this attack might not yield ground, which is why neither Xu nor Xuanyuan Jing intervened; they needed to ensure Ye Jingyu and his companions could not escape…
With a tremendous boom, the golden beam struck the center of the Heaven-Shaking Seal, immediately erupting in dazzling golden light. It held for less than three seconds before shattering completely…
The six Sacred Beasts simultaneously spat out a mouthful of golden blood, their bodies, which had been soaring, instantly plummeting downward; they were clearly gravely wounded by the strike…
Yet, Ye Jingyu too coughed up a mouthful of blood, spots dancing before his eyes as the Heaven-Shaking Seal vibrated violently, showing signs of imminent collapse…
In this state, Ye Jingyu gritted his teeth and forced the Heaven-Shaking Seal downward with renewed effort…
Seeing Ye Jingyu hold his own against the six Sacred Beasts by directly engaging with his Soul Artifact, Gui Jianchou’s expression shifted to surprise. Even he, facing the beasts’ combined assault, could not gain the upper hand, not even against six pseudo-Saint Beasts.
If he truly encountered such a situation, he would have no choice but to flee in disarray. Yet, this fellow was able to fight them head-on…
While he possessed a Soul Artifact, his own inherent strength was terrifyingly immense. It seemed Gui Jianchou had underestimated him…
Xu and Xuanyuan Jing, confident that the six Sacred Beasts would shatter the Heaven-Shaking Seal, watched in horror as the Seal merely shuddered before continuing its descent. Their complexions immediately changed…
“A fine display of Soul Immortal strength. This Profound-tier Soul Artifact, in your hands, has indeed reached its maximum potential. But today, I shall completely destroy this artifact of yours!” Seeing the Heaven-Shaking Seal continue its fall, Xuanyuan Jing muttered softly, raising the long sword in his hand once more…
“Falling Leaves Overthrow the City Sword…”
A blade-light instantly ignited on the sword, and in the blink of an eye, that single ray had stretched to a thousand feet long…
It was truly a sword, a colossal blade akin to a mountain peak…
With a single strike, it promised devastation to nations and beauty alike…
Terrifying sword qi erupted continuously, so potent that even the void itself could not withstand the force, beginning to fracture and shatter…
This immense, thousand-foot sword-light descended ruthlessly upon the equally enormous Heaven-Shaking Seal…
With a deafening rumble, the massive sword-light struck the Heaven-Shaking Seal, unleashing torrents of violent sword qi that relentlessly ravaged the artifact…
The Heaven-Shaking Seal, already showing signs of breaking under the combined assault of the six Sacred Beasts, could no longer endure the impact of this world-toppling strike. Cracks spiderwebbed across its very core until, finally, it shattered entirely…
Yes, it disintegrated, slowly breaking apart like fragile glass…
With a sickening thwack, Ye Jingyu spat out three consecutive mouthfuls of blood. His spirit instantly waned considerably. With the Heaven-Shaking Seal destroyed, his Heaven and Earth dual souls were violently shocked into severe injury, forcing them to exit the broken artifact…
The Heaven-Shaking Seal exploded into nothingness…
“Trying to leave? Not so easily done…” Blood trickled from the corner of Xuanyuan Jing’s mouth. Even though he had forcefully shattered the Heaven-Shaking Seal, he felt far from well. But seeing Ye Jingyu’s divine spirit attempt escape, he ignored his own injuries, swinging his long sword again. Another blade-light—a supremely brilliant one—tore through the air and pierced directly into the Heaven and Earth dual souls…
A crisp snap echoed, audible to everyone. The Heaven and Earth dual souls were severed in two by the blow…
No longer able to reform, they shattered completely. Ye Jingyu immediately vomited several mouthfuls of blood, his expression utterly listless, his once raven hair instantly turning snow-white…
He fainted then and there, collapsing directly into Jiu Feng’s embrace…
“A’Yu…” Jiu Feng, witnessing Ye Jingyu severely injure the six Sacred Beasts and a Martial Saint in one move, only to suffer such catastrophic damage himself—especially seeing his divine soul cleaved into fragments by Xuanyuan Jing’s sword—was overwhelmed with despair. She clutched Ye Jingyu tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes…
At this moment, Gui Jianchou stared at the injured Xuanyuan Jing in the sky, contemplating whether to seize this chance to strike him down, but the sight of Xu nearby made him abandon the notion…
With his own strength, he only had perhaps a sixty percent chance of killing an injured Xuanyuan Jing, let alone with a Martial Saint lurking nearby…
“Go…” He lingered no longer, whispering the command. The Yingzhao beneath his feet vigorously flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of shadow, flying rapidly toward the distance…
Xu started to give chase but was stopped by Xuanyuan Jing…
“No need to pursue. His divine soul has been wounded by my sword intent. Even if a single soul and spirit remain, he’s little more than an idiot, incapable of posing a threat. I am injured; guard me,” Xuanyuan Jing said, before lowering himself to the ground, sitting cross-legged to regulate his internal condition…
The successive sword strikes had successfully destroyed Ye Jingyu’s divine soul, but Xuanyuan Jing still suffered severe internal trauma. If he didn't treat it immediately, unimaginable sequelae might develop…
Hearing Xuanyuan Jing’s words, Xu naturally did not argue further. This matter required an account to be settled with the Xuanyuan family. Since Xuanyuan Jing had spoken, why risk further danger? The other party still had Gui Jianchou; without Xuanyuan Jing present, Xu couldn't guarantee killing him…
He immediately sat down opposite Xuanyuan Jing, while the six wounded Sacred Beasts lay scattered nearby, beginning their own healing processes…
