Chapter 289 (1/2)

Back when Xue Ying fought the Reincarnators from the Temporal Temple, his victory would have been much less certain had he only relied on his True Meaning of Extreme Piercing. In fact, it would have been very difficult even with the True Meaning of Star backing him up as well. It was only after unleashing his True Meaning of Mirage that the difficulty of the mission was bumped from Hard to Nightmare. As soon as he used the Mirage, his opponent could no longer resist his attack; if he wanted to kill them, he would do it!

“He can strike whenever and without warning! As soon as he makes his move, the spear is already before his opponent!”

“As long as he doesn’t strike, there’s no way to find him!”

“His True Meanings complement each other. He’s completely overpowering Nuo Nuo An!”

“When it comes to strength, more isn’t always better; it must be properly unleashed. His two True Meanings mesh well, which turns every strike into a fearsome attack.” Lord You Lan shook his head. “The most dangerous part of it is that if he doesn’t make a move, we can’t even detect him. His attacks are also very swift; as soon as he strikes, he quickly withdraws. We’ve no way of capturing him.”

With how fast Xue Ying’s strikes were, he could withdraw as soon as he attacked! The advantage his opponents had from their numbers was nullified.

General Ku Meng transmitted with a perplexed tone, “Don’t tell me…Nuo Nuo An is going to die?”

“In this mortal world, Nuo Nuo An’s power is that of an Era Suppressor! How could he so easily be killed? This Dong Bo Xue Ying is only able to suppress him because his True Meanings work together so well. To suppress Nuo Nuo An is one thing, but to kill him? The victor is not yet set in stone.” The corners of Lord You Lan’s mouth twitched upwards slightly. “Look, Nuo Nuo An is going all out! Having lived in the Dark Abyss until now… he can’t be that simple.”

“Aaah!” The large group of evil spirits all began to roar in fury at the same time. “Dong Bo Xue Ying, I want your death!”

All of a sudden, a pair of ominously glowing green eyes appeared in mid-air. It was Nuo Nuo An’s Deity treasure!

The green light forming the eyes began to expand and shape itself into two channels, out of where countless evil spirits flew.

Xue Ying’s wrinkled his brows inside the Mirage. “What’s going on? How can there be so many evil spirits?”

“Th-th-this….”

Even the hundred evil spirits from before had been troublesome enough, but those which had just rushed out of the eyes numbered in the hundreds, with more still coming. In what felt like the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of evil spirits, enough to cover the lands and blot the skies, had appeared—each exuding an oppressive aura. They seemed to be confused and began howling.

An instant later, the tens of thousands of evil spirits were attracted by an invisible force which force them to quickly converge in the center.

Countless horrifying energies surged.

A towering devil appeared, its body a mass of darkness with large fangs. It had twin eyes of radiant green, and atop its head were no less than nine black horns. Its body emitted an endless Qi which seemed to engulf the heavens and earth, smothering the surrounding Mirage. The white fog couldn’t get closer than five kilometers to his location.

“So strong.”

Inside the Mirage, Xue Ying was inwardly surprised. “What mighty Qi. It’s gotten much stronger than it was at first.”

…

“Of course he doesn’t have a Ten Thousand Ghost Body. Had he cultivated that, even I would have a hard time defeating him. He has evil spirits in the tens of thousands, but he normally only controls up to 100. He’s currently going all out by relying on his Deity treasure to forcefully engulf the evil spirits and form a sort of Ten Thousand Ghost Body. Look, his strength is spilling; he has no way of restraining it in the least. There’s no way he can control it. If you look at his eyes, you can tell his mind is confused. But this is still enough.” Lord You Lan revealed a smile.

He immediately transmitted a shout—”Nuo Nuo An!”

“I’ll assist you by manipulating the flow of time in your area, but Dong Bo is proficient in Extreme Penetration, and he can use it to forcefully pierce through the obstructions of time and space. My Time Flow will probably only have a limited effect at the most! The rest you will have to do yourself. Remember, he has a fatal weakness.”

Lord You Lan’s voice was transmitted into Nuo Nuo An’s ear in his Ten Thousand Ghost Body form.

He replied, “Rest assured, my lord. I know of his weakness. It just so happens that my Death Howl is able to restrain him.”

Nuo Nuo An turned his head in a flash but kept his body in the same position.

He spread open his mouth to reveal his fangs, akin to a ferocious beast.

Pu! The Stellar Fire Cloud Spear stabbed straight into Nuo Nuo An’s towering head, a hundred meters high in the air. Its size alone reached two meters, but after getting hit by the spear just once, the head began collapsing. Soon, however, it began reforming!

“My Death Howl will be enough to kill you.” Nuo Nuo An was brimming with confidence. “The True Meaning of Mirage has next to no defensive ability, while the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing is even worse. You don’t even have Qi to protect you body! Do you perhaps have a Deity Warrior protecting you? While they might not be afraid of soul attacks, they are also worthless when it comes to stopping them. Try blocking this!”

But even so, most soul attacks were not particularly powerful, with Transcendents generally enduring them by relying on their own souls.

He had condensed a Deity Heart using the grade three True Meaning of Death. By using that Deity Heart in conjunction with the Ten Thousand Ghost Body to employ his Death Howl, he could unleash a terrifying soul attack!

Deity Warriors, Deity grade armor, and other treasures would normally not have much of a diminishing effect on soul attacks.
