Once the Martial Dao Yuan Shen appeared, Ye Chen's body was like a statue, motionless. Apart from the fluctuations of life, there was no aura to speak of, as if all the essence had been taken away by the Martial Dao Yuan Shen.
And the Martial Dao Yuan Shen, which was the glowing Ye Chen, flashed, actually passed through the outer wall of the array, and directly entered the chaotic Universe Devil Subduing Array.
The multicolored light could not obstruct the glowing Ye Chen, and soon, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor, who was stepping on the Evil Altar, entered his sight.
Without any nonsense, Ye Chen stretched out his right hand, and a glowing sword took shape, piercing towards the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor. The sword tip burst with light, incomparably dazzling.
Momentary Glory!
"No!"
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's eyes widened. How could he not see that this was Ye Chen's Martial Dao Yuan Shen. The Martial Dao Yuan Shen had the attribute of surpassing space, between substance and nothingness, but the power it burst out was absolutely the limit of the body, without a trace of illusion. Moreover, the Martial Dao Yuan Shen had one more advantage than the body, and that was, it was not limited by the body, and could display the martial arts mastered to an extremely perfect level.
The multicolored light came to a standstill, and the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's expression froze. The sword, which carried Ye Chen's will, slowly and firmly pierced into the opponent's forehead.
Boom!
A blazing white light burst out, and countless Sword Qi intertwined. The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's body suddenly disappeared by a third. He was much stronger than Tian Xie, so it was impossible for Ye Chen's sword to annihilate the majority of his evil force. Even so, the sword piercing into the forehead and the Sword Qi were incomparable. His Soul Sea was affected, and the Sword Qi wreaked havoc.
His flesh and blood squirmed, and the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor once again condensed into a human body.
However, what awaited him was another Momentary Glory.
The Martial Dao Yuan Spirit's Momentary Brilliance was all borne by the main body, so it could be used consecutively. In the outside world, Ye Chen was bleeding from his seven orifices, and his face was much paler.
The first Momentary Brilliance annihilated one-third of the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's evil power, and the second Momentary Brilliance annihilated a full 50% of the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's evil power. This was not because the second Momentary Brilliance was more powerful, but because after receiving the first Momentary Brilliance, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor was already in a weakened state, and when receiving the second sword strike in a weakened state, the damage was naturally greater than the first.
"Bastard, go to hell!"
The more desperate the situation, the more it stimulated the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's ferocious and evil nature. The space between his eyebrows was glowing, as if there was a gray sun there.
Buzz!
A Yin Wind Demonic Emperor emitting a gray light walked out of his body. This was the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's Evil Dao Yuan Spirit. As a seventh layer Life and Death Demonic Emperor, although his realm was suppressed by two layers and he had just escaped from the blood colored seal, it didn't hinder his Yuan Spirit from leaving his body for the final battle.
The third Momentary Brilliance was unleashed, and Ye Chen's Martial Dao Yuan Spirit became much more illusory. However, this time, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's Evil Dao Yuan Spirit didn't suffer too much of a restriction, and its blade slashed out.
Blazing sparks burst forth, multicolored streamers surged up like waves, and the aftermath bombarded the main body of the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor on the Evil Sacrificial Altar. However, that Evil Sacrificial Altar was not an ordinary treasure, the four evil devil heads spurted out extremely pure evil power, which formed a protective shield and barely protected its main body.
The reason why the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor didn't let his Evil Dao Yuan Spirit attack before was mainly because his main body was too weak. Once the Evil Dao Yuan Spirit left his body, his main body would lose all ability to protect itself. Once his main body died, his Evil Dao Yuan Spirit would instantly dissipate. Therefore, he didn't dare to take risks, and would rather fight steadily.
"Yin Wind Six Arts, Fifth Form, Berserk Evil Splits the Heavens!"
Without the restriction of his physical body, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's saber arts were much more refined. A domineering saber-light tore through the multicolored light. Along the way, it rapidly split apart. Over a hundred smaller saber-lights crazily shot at Ye Chen.
The fourth Momentary Brilliance was unleashed, and all the saber-lights were frozen in place. Unless the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's Evil Dao Yuan Spirit fought him in close combat, it would be impossible for it to break through his defenses.
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor was just about to charge forward when he suddenly let out a cry. Looking back, he saw that his main body, which was protected by the evil energy, was covered in blood. Occasionally, Sword Qi would break through his body.
Ye Chen's two Momentary Brilliance had not only destroyed the majority of the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's evil energy, but it had also left behind a large amount of Sword Qi in his body. Once his Evil Dao Yuan Spirit had appeared, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's main body had essentially lost its backbone. How could he possibly suppress the Sword Qi in his body?
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's Evil Dao Yuan Spirit transformed into a ray of light that returned to his main body.
"It should be about time."
Ye Chen's body was quite transparent, as if it was condensed from a ball of light. Turning around, Ye Chen passed through the outer wall of the array and turned into a ray of light that returned to his main body.
Puff!
Spurting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Chen struggled to say, "He only has a little more than ten percent of his evil energy left, and there is double the Sword Qi left in his body. I can fully suppress the seal now."
As he spoke, Ye Chen spurted out another three mouthfuls of blood. Using the Momentary Brilliance four times in a row had almost reached the limit of his main body's endurance. If he used it again, he couldn't guarantee that there would be any side effects. For a moment, he felt the world spinning around him. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
Nothing inside the Heaven and Earth Demon Subduing Array could hide from Xuanhou's senses. As soon as Ye Chen's Martial Dao Yuan Spirit came out, she activated the array with all her strength. In an instant, the array's interior space underwent dozens of changes, and each change would cause the Evil Altar's protective barrier to slightly distort.
Pop!
The protective barrier twisted to the limit and burst like a bubble. The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor only had time to swing his blade once before he was completely submerged by the multicolored light.
"I will break free again."
His voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible.
Rumble!
In the outside world, the chaotic Heaven and Earth Demon Subduing Array slowly sank into the ground. At the same time, the surrounding eight stones engraved with runes also sank.
When the ground became flat again, a circle of multicolored runes lit up. Following that, the light became dimmer and dimmer, turning into a multicolored metal-like brand.
"Did I succeed?"
The Demon Flower Emperor stopped absorbing the evil energy, his fragrant sweat dripping down.
"Being sealed again, even if the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor breaks free, his strength will be weakened to a new low. However, a Demonic Emperor level character is indeed powerful. If I didn't use the Heaven and Earth Demon Subduing Array to trap him, it would be impossible to kill him. He could have easily escaped." Xuanhou could tell that using Instant of Glory four times was already Ye Chen's limit. If he forcefully used it for the fifth time, his martial Yuan Spirit, which was not yet condensed, might suffer irreparable damage, causing him to lose his memory or even lose his mind.
As she spoke, Xuanhou's white hair turned black at a visible speed. At Life and Death Realm, one's appearance would change very slowly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that decades were like one day. The reason why one's hair turned white was because one's vitality was being drained too quickly. When one's vitality stopped draining, everything would return to its original state. Of course, this was under the condition that one's vitality wasn't consumed too much. Once one lost more than four-fifths of their vitality, their hair turning white would be irreversible.
"In any case, our mission this time is basically a success."
The Demon Flower Emperor smiled.
"En!"
Xuanhou nodded and looked at Ye Chen, who was meditating with his eyes closed.
After a cup of tea's worth of time, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and faintly smiled, "Seniors, you've worked hard."
"Are you alright?"
The Demon Flower Emperor asked.
"Apart from some minor aftereffects, I'm fine." At this level, it was impossible for the Yuan Shen of Martial Arts to leave the body without any side effects. He could clearly feel that his level of swordsmanship had dropped. The sword-less heart required instincts, and the key to instincts was to unify the spirit and body. After the Yuan Shen of Martial Arts returned, he felt a little strange about his own body, as if he had been possessed. Of course, it was just a metaphor, and it was not that serious. He should be able to recover after some time.
Xuanhou sighed, "I didn't expect you to be able to let your Yuan Spirit leave your body. This is an ability that can only be obtained when one's martial will reaches the eighth step realm."
When Yuan Spirit left the body, the most important thing was the martial will. The higher the martial will, the more powerful the Yuan Spirit would be. This kind of power was not in terms of strength, but rather the condensation of the Yuan Spirit.
"Yeah, how did you do it?"
The Demon Flower Emperor was a bit curious.
Ye Chen honestly said, "I cultivate a Yuan Spirit secret art that can strengthen the Yuan Spirit in advance." Yuan Spirit secret arts didn't only include soul secret arts, but also things that could temper the will and soul.
To be honest, Yuan Spirit didn't have much effect on a person's strength. It could be said that it didn't have much of an effect on a person's strength.
Yuan Spirit only had two uses. One was to ignore most barriers and travel freely. The second was that after the body died, the Yuan Spirit wouldn't dissipate for a short period of time. At that time, it could heavily injure the enemy or even kill the enemy at the crucial moment. But after that, it would still die.
The Yuan Spirit of Martial Dao could not survive without the body. The body was the weakness of the Yuan Spirit of Martial Dao. Therefore, when two sides were fighting, using the Yuan Spirit of Martial Dao to fight the enemy was a suicidal action. The enemy could completely destroy your body, leaving you with nowhere to go. You would be like a soul without a body, homeless.
Therefore, Yuan Spirit could only be used to deal with some unexpected situations. For example, the situation where one couldn't enter with their body and could only enter with their Yuan Spirit. But even so, Yuan Spirit still had some auxiliary functions. The more condensed the Yuan Spirit was, the stronger the control over one's body would be, and the more exquisite the martial arts would be.
"So that's how it is." The Demon Flower Emperor faintly nodded.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's return to True Spirit Continent first."
Xuanhou suggested.
"Alright, let's go!"
The three had some internal injuries, and their condition wasn't eighty percent of their peak. If they encountered a powerful enemy, it would be extremely dangerous.
Leaving the True Water Palace, the three headed toward True Spirit Continent.
