Chapter 438: The Undying Rock Wall

Without thinking too much, Murong Qingcheng turned her attention to the black jade. It was shimmering with a soft light and felt mild and smooth on touch. As she infused it with Zhen Yuan, various scenes suddenly started playing in her mind.
On a crimson wasteland, a true fiend was floating under a red moon. It had bat wings on its back, two horns on its head, and a pair of silver eyes. There was no skin on its body, only a hard, armor-like layer of fiber. The two meters high fiend had the same body shape as that of humans. But, if one looked at it, one would only have one feeling: it was strong. Not just in terms strength, it was strong in essence; innately strong, an existence above humans.
Across the fiend was a black-robed human. If the fiend was a true demon, then the black-robed human was an acquired demon. Strands of a black aura curled about his body, seeming as if it contained a spiritual nature.
Rumble!
The bat-winged fiend issued a chop, covering the heaven and earth in a magnificent dark light. The sky suddenly shattered and earth split open.
”Soul Extinguishing Wave!”
The black-robed man raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a frantic and domineering light. He whirled his hand, condensing a black sphere with an equally magnificent black light, which immediately radiated out in a fan-like shape. Its might kept on increasing on the way, and not only did it counteract the fiend's strike, it further sent it flying for several hundred li.
In silence, the fiend fell on the ground, as if it had lost its soul. But, there wasn't a trace of injury on its body.
Murong Qingcheng's body was stretched taut in admiration. The black-robed man smiled at her, and a wave of black of light suddenly flooded her thoughts.
Ye Chen didn't disturb the stationary Murong Qingcheng. He had gone through the experience of receiving a profound martial skill himself. In the course of this process, the receiver's mind would turn into a complete mess. The latter wouldn't be waking up for a while, and if awakened by force, it might even harm her spirit.
After quite a while, Murong Qingcheng finally opened her eyes.
”So, the Soul Extinguishing Wave is actually a low grade profound sense martial skill. Its target of attack is soul. If your soul isn't powerful, your body won't help you no matter how strong it is.”
Ye Chen spoke in amazement, ”A soul-focused profound skill… It must be similar to an ordinary mid grade profound skill.”
Soul was not like a physical body. Even an ordinary Sea of Soul realm expert might be able to kill a Daoist or even Master with a weak soul. Of course, the former might also end up being instantly killed.
Hiss!
As the two were discussing, a huge horned python suddenly charged out of the overflowing river. It was immeasurably long, and a frightening ten meters thick. Washbowl-thick scales covered its entire body, and its skull, which was as high as a skyscraper, was no different from an awl. Its frantically flapping tongue seemed like a dozens of meters long spear.
Bringing with it a violent gale, the python stabbed at them furiously. The soaring evil qi again caused the sky to darken. Thunder roared, and lightning rained down, exploding several mountains in the vicinity. Burnt black stones and rocks splattered in the air, covering the sky.
Wanting to try out the demonic will's might, Murong Qingcheng stood in her place and issued a palm imprint that contained a peerless demonic intent.
With that, the python's horn was severed, and a huge palm imprint appeared on its skull. A black qi soared from the imprint, and the python's body, which hadn't even fully left the river yet, shot back instead, crashing into the golem's mountain and dying instantaneously.
An ancient eighth grade demonic beast couldn't sustain even a single palm from Murong Qingcheng!
It should be known that demonic beasts of ancient era were much more formidable than the current era. A seventh grade demonic beast of ancient era could contend an eighth grade beast of the current era. These eighth ranked beasts were almost equivalent to the lowest ninth grade beasts. They might be somewhat inferior, but the difference wasn't much. To end an eighth grade ancient beast with one strike, the might of demonic will was simply unbelievable.
As the possessor of demonic will, Murong Qingcheng understood its excellence and shortcomings much more thoroughly. She said, ”Demonic will is like sword will, as it abandons amplification of defense and focuses solely on offense.”
Ye Chen was quite clear that there was no such thing as weak or strong in wills. Martial will treaded a balanced path. It provided a comprehensive amplification in offense, speed, and defense. On the other hand, the sword will focused the most on offense, then on speed, and last on defense. Demonic will was most likely the same as well. As for the intricate differences between them, he wouldn't know since he and Battle King both had sword wills.
”Let's move! We might be able to find a way out of here.”
At this moment, Ye Chen was no longer looking for anything here. His only wish was to leave the underground world.
”Yeah.” Murong QIngcheng faintly nodded in affirmation.
…
Standing across the hundreds of meters high sculpture, Yin Demon Ancestor's face was somewhat thrashed. He could ignore the fact it had the strength equivalent to Daoist grade, but its undying body was causing him an endless pain. Regardless of how he struck, no sign of harm was seen on its body. This left him completely helpless.
Rumble!
The sculpture punched out, its wings scraping layers off the ground.
”Yin Demonic Chop!”
