"I know that as well! But there's nothing we can do other than wait! "
Sovereign Chen Yong sighed helplessly as he forced an Ancient Sage to retreat.
He wanted to kill Sovereign Chen Yong as well, but once the ritual began, it was impossible to stop it. Otherwise, it would be viewed as a sign of disrespect toward the gods.
With so many of them, they might still stand a chance against a fully recovered Sovereign Chen Ling, but against a god, the only thing that awaited them was death.
"The only thing we can do now is to kill all of them or incapacitate them. That way, even if Sovereign Chen Ling recovers, he'll be alone, and we'll stand a better chance against him!"
Sovereign Chen Yong said.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
That was indeed the best solution they could think of at the moment.
They would kill all of Sovereign Chen Ling's subordinates first so that he could recover fully. As long as Sovereign Chen Yong was at the Blood Reincarnation realm, it would be hard to say who would emerge victorious with just him, Ancient Sage Allfire, Ancient Sage Mo Ling, and the Dragonbone Divine Spear.
Hula!
While the two of them were talking, one of the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sages suddenly charged toward Zhang Xuan.
The weapon in his hand was the Judgment Brush, and it was an Ancient Sage artifact as well. With a flick of its wrist, it felt as if the entire world was being torn apart.
From the looks of it, the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sages could tell that Zhang Xuan wasn't strong enough, so he intended to use a soul attack to kill the latter.
The Dragonbone Divine Spear was only a weapon, so it was able to fend off physical attacks.
As expected, Zhang Xuan was struck by a wave of dizziness.
His soul energy was invincible among those of the same cultivation realm, but even so, he still found it hard to withstand the attack of an Ancient Sage artifact.
"Hehe!"
The Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage charged right toward Zhang Xuan and flicked the Judgment Brush in his hand once more.
"Guild leader!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had fallen into his trap, Ancient Sage Mo Ling panicked. He wanted to rush forward to help, but he suddenly felt the pressure bearing down on him increasing exponentially. The Ancient Sage whom he was fighting was executing a series of ultimate moves to push him back.
Meanwhile, Sovereign Chen Yong was facing the same situation.
After seeing how Zhang Xuan had pierced through his companions with his spear, the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage knew that he wielded the greatest fighting prowess......
"Die!"
Knowing that it was impossible for the others to hold off Sovereign Chen Yong and the others for too long, the Ancient Sage sneered coldly as he dashed forward and sent a palm strike right at Zhang Xuan's head.
If he were to be struck by this attack, even if he had assimilated the Blood Reincarnation realm blood, he would still lose his life.
"Young master!"
"Guild Leader!
"Master!"
The eyes of the three Ancient Sages narrowed in astonishment. They wanted to rush forward, but there was nothing they could do.
Just when they thought that Zhang Xuan wouldn't be able to escape this time, they saw the dazed young man suddenly smile faintly, and the spear in his hand suddenly jumped up.
Puchi!
With just a single strike, it pierced right through the Ancient Sage's heart, leaving him hanging in midair.
Hula!
Blood splattered everywhere.
When the jade bottles appeared, he hurriedly collected them.
"…"
Everyone was stunned. Even the Otherworldly Demons who were blocking their path were dumbfounded.
It was only by relying on the Dragonbone Divine Spear that the Great Sage was able to rival a Blood Reincarnation realm expert. Under normal circumstances, if an Ancient Sage were to get close to him, he would surely die. How could his spear pierce right through the other party's body?
Could it be that the previous dizziness was just an act?
"That was a close call …"
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he collected the blood.
The other party had used a soul artifact to attack him, and he had indeed been struck by it. The reason why he was able to recover so quickly was due to the Stone of Divine Crusade that he had obtained in the Temple of Confucius.
He had given the Seal of Souls to Lu Chong, but he had always carried the Stone of Divine Crusade with him.
The Stone of Divine Crusade had the ability to devour souls and nourish them. While the other party's attack was powerful, it would have been impossible for him to recover from it under normal circumstances. However, with the Stone of Divine Crusade, it was much easier for him to do so.
He stowed the Judgment Brush back into his storage ring before taking out the Stone of Divine Crusade. After which, he flicked his wrist and took out the Stone of Divine Crusade, which had saved his life earlier.
Even without the Stone of Divine Crusade, Vicious would still have made a move on him. However, the fact that it was able to absorb the soul attack of the Ancient Sage and turn it into nourishment showed just how valuable the Stone of Divine Crusade was.
Lowering his gaze, Zhang Xuan saw that the Stone of Divine Crusade was emanating a warm glow. Its color was slightly different from before, a faint blue.
Through his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan could sense a powerful aura lingering within the Stone of Divine Crusade. As soon as his hand came into contact with the Stone of Divine Crusade, he immediately felt a surge of warmth in his soul, as if he had entered a hot spring.
"Is this pure soul energy?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
As a powerful soul oracle, he could easily tell that the energy contained within was none other than pure soul energy. It was capable of nourishing one's soul and strengthening one's soul.
He clearly remembered that there was nothing in the Stone of Divine Crusade at all, so how could there be so much soul energy in it?
"Could it be …"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly lowered his head and activated his Eye of Insight. With the Stone of Divine Crusade as the center, thin threads began gathering together.
"Sovereign Chen Ling sacrificed a hundred thousand Saint realm experts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but their souls were all devoured by the Stone of Divine Crusade …"
Seeing this, how could Zhang Xuan not understand what was going on?
Just like the Seal of Souls, the Stone of Divine Crusade possessed the ability to purify and devour souls. This ability was a little sinister to cultivators, so it was forbidden to use it on the Master Teacher Continent.
As a master teacher, Zhang Xuan would never resort to such means. However, who could have thought that Sovereign Chen Ling's soul would actually be devoured by the Stone of Divine Crusade?
"With so much pure soul energy, does this mean that my soul will be able to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in agitation.
While he did not advocate using the Stone of Divine Crusade to devour the souls of others, since he had already done so, he would be a fool to reject using it.
His soul cultivation had already reached Sempiternal realm consummation. With so much soul energy, he might just be able to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
"Let's give it a try!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan instructed the Dragonbone Divine Spear and Vicious to protect his body before drawing his soul out from his glabella.
Tzzzzzzz!
As soon as his soul came into contact with the Stone of Divine Crusade, searing soul energy gushed out from the Stone of Divine Crusade. His soul began growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"No, that's not right … I don't have a soul cultivation method yet!"
Feeling his soul growing larger and larger, to the point where it felt like it would explode at any moment, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
In his excitement, he suddenly recalled that most of the Ancient Sage breakthroughs he had researched had been on zhenqi cultivation. He had not read a single book on soul cultivation.
He had no idea what one had to go through to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
"Ancient Sage Mo Ling, do you have any experience or secret manuals on soul cultivation? Give me a few of them! "
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhang Xuan raised his head and shouted at Ancient Sage Mo Ling.
