Chapter 1355 – Pushing Back

The battle had barely begun, but Ancient God Stillmoon was already on the back foot, forced into a completely defensive position in her fight against Ancient God Nethertooth. On the other side, Ancient God Sundermount was already wounded, so he was naturally no match for the Ancient Soul Race woman.

But the situation on Zhao Feng’s side was completely unexpected.

“Ah…!” The middle-aged man screamed as the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame wracked his soul.

Nearby, his Soul Beast was also being restrained as it was being devoured by the little thieving cat’s technique.

“Eh? As expected of an ancient race specialized in the Soul Dao, his soul is stronger than normal!” Zhao Feng realized that, even after taking his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, the middle-aged man still wasn’t dead.

The special trait of Soul Dao races was that their bloodline power was reflected in their souls. The middle-aged man’s soul was somewhat similar to Zhao Feng’s Lightning Soul Body: extremely solid and not easily exterminated. For this reason, imprisonment methods were usually used for this kind of race so that they could be slowly worn down.

“Brat, don’t think I can’t kill you!” The middle-aged man recovered from the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, his dark and translucent soul still writhing.

As a member of a Soul Dao race, he had abnormal confidence in dealing with soul attacks. However, Zhao Feng’s soul attack contained extremely powerful Tribulation Lightning energy that dealt severe damage to his Ancient Soul Body.

Zhao Feng’s pet defeating his Soul Beast also made him extremely furious.

“Your soul attack is very powerful, but it can’t kill me! Let me show you what a real soul attack is!” The middle-aged man’s body writhed, transforming into countless dark streams of energy.

The Ancient Soul Race wasn’t just formidable when it came to defending their souls; they also possessed many kinds of soul attacks that were almost impossible to defend against.

“How unusual! His entire body transformed into a Soul Body, and now he’s using his Soul Body as a means to attack!” Zhao Feng watched his opponent with astonished eyes.

“Dark Sea Soul Refining!”

Dark streams of water circled around Zhao Feng, engulfing him like a shroud of black water. A wicked and devilish Soul energy quickly engulfed Zhao Feng.

A normal person in this situation would immediately feel their Soul Intent being affected, and their fighting power and ability to resist would immediately drop.

“Die! Let me eat your soul so that I can recover from my injuries and make up for the loss of my Shadow Snake!” A sinister laugh came from the black water.

The water began to spin even faster, quickly clinging to Zhao Feng’s body and assailing his soul.

“He actually used that move?” Ancient God Nethertooth’s expression chilled.

The souls of the Ancient Soul Race were unique. It was possible to use a secret art that utilized the soul offensively. Dark Sea Soul Refining was a secret art that could use one’s soul to swiftly crush and refine the opponent’s soul. Once it succeeded, the user would obtain the energy and memories of the enemy’s soul.

However, this art was extremely risky. The injuries sustained by the soul during the process would be worsened, and failure would result in an intense backlash.

The middle-aged man used this technique because his Soul Beast was restrained, causing his fighting power to plunge. Thus, he used the secret art to finish off Zhao Feng in a single blow and recover some of his dignity.

“Hmph! Senior Brother’s soul is extremely powerful, so he will be able to instantly refine that brat’s soul.” The bewitching woman giggled.

“Not good, it’s that move!” Ancient God Stillmoon’s face turned grave.

A normal person’s soul was far inferior to an Ancient Soul Race soul. They would be incapable of resisting this move and could only wait to be refined and devoured.

Both she and Ancient God Sundermount were on the back foot, so they had no time to help Zhao Feng.

But Zhao Feng, shrouded in the black water, remained unperturbed.

Bzzzz!

He activated his left eye and observed his surroundings. The black water around him was the manifestation of the middle-aged man. The majority of it was made up of his soul.

Although converting one’s soul into an attack is extremely dangerous, it’s also extremely powerful. The stronger one’s Soul Body is, the more terrifying the attack will be….  Zhao Feng’s left eye began to analyze the secret art.

Slush!

The shroud of dark water had almost closed around Zhao Feng’s body and was about to begin refining his soul.

“What? Your first time seeing this Soul secret art and you’re already giving up?” A dark and translucent face suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Feng and began to laugh.

“This really is my first time seeing this art, but I’m only interested, that’s all.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.

“Oh no!” The middle-aged man immediately felt that something was wrong. Moreover, just when his soul attack was about to reach Zhao Feng’s Soul Body, he suddenly felt a numbing sensation.

Swish!

At this moment, Zhao Feng’s dark violet soul suddenly exploded with dazzling white arcs of electricity.

“Tribulation Lightning power!?” The middle-aged man immediately took fright.

Slush!

The dark currents of water immediately began to withdraw in preparation to retreat.

What’s going on? Why does his soul have Tribulation Lightning energy!?  The middle-aged man was reeling in shock.

The offensive soul secret art was founded on the prerequisite that one’s soul was stronger than one’s opponent. When both Soul Intents were on the same level, the user of the art would be the one that suffered. Moreover, Zhao Feng’s soul was mutated, containing Tribulation Lightning energy within it.

“Water Lightning Illusion Prison!” Zhao Feng barked.

His soul immediately unleashed soul lightning that formed a cage of electricity. Zhao Feng’s left eye then converted this lightning into an enormous and impregnable cage of Water Lightning.

“Retract!” With a thought, the Water Lightning Illusion Prison began to retract around Zhao Feng.

“No…!” The middle-aged man was terrified.

But the Water Lightning Illusion Prison was specialized in imprisonment, and he found it impossible to escape. Moreover, the Water Lightning Illusion Prison was linked to Zhao Feng’s Lightning Soul Body; the more the prison shrank, the stronger it became.

“No, let me go…!” the middle-aged man shrieked in terror.

Zhao Feng’s face was cold and indifferent, the powerful soul lightning unleashed by his Lightning Soul Body resonating with the Water Lightning Illusion Prison.

One could say that Zhao Feng’s soul was a bomb. As the Water Lightning Illusion Prison shrank, the middle-aged man’s soul was drawn closer and closer to this bomb.

Boom! Hisss!

The Water Lightning Illusion Prison immediately shrank to a tiny size, and in the remaining space, the middle-aged man’s soul was battered by endless lightning.

“Release my senior brother!” At this moment, the bewitching woman pushed back Ancient God Sundermount and charged at Zhao Feng.

On the other side, Ancient God Nethertooth was also preparing to strike.

“Where are you going!?” Ancient God Stillmoon clenched her silver teeth and immediately activated her Giant God Race bloodline.

A moment later, her body exploded with dazzling white light that extended all the way to the horizon. Ancient God Stillmoon’s body rapidly began to grow in this light, transforming into a ten thousand foot tall giant. At this moment, all the living beings in a radius of ten thousand li felt an immense pressure.

“Giant God Finger!” Ancient God Stillmoon thrust out a finger.

This finger had gathered up all the energy in Ancient God Stillmoon’s body and descended from the sky like an enormous stone pillar, pulverizing all before it. In the face of this immense power, even Ancient God Nethertooth could only dodge.

“The power of the Giant God Race truly is abnormal!” Zhao Feng exclaimed.

Not even Zhao Feng would dare to engage in a direct confrontation with the current Ancient God Stillmoon. He would instead choose to use long-distance or soul attacks.

“Die!” Zhao Feng unleashed all the Tribulation Lightning energy in his Lightning Soul Body. In a flash, the middle-aged man’s soul was electrocuted to death.

“I want you to die!” The bewitching woman’s face turned savage.

“If you want to see your senior brother so much, I’ll send you to see him!” Zhao Feng sneered as he turned his left eye to the woman.

As if sensing the Eye Intent locking onto her, the bewitching woman began to zigzag, making it more difficult for Zhao Feng to lock onto her.

But at this moment, she heard a meow in her ear.

“Not good! The cat!” The woman grimaced.

With the death of the middle-aged man, his Soul Beast had weakened even more and was killed by the little thieving cat.

The bewitching woman also knew that there was something strange about this cat, so she did not dare to carelessly use her Soul Beast.

“Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!” Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power, gathered it into a seal as large as a mountain, and slammed it down.

The little thieving cat’s appearance made the bewitching woman apprehensive, resulting in her fighting power being reduced.

On the other side, Ancient God Sundermount had joined Ancient God Stillmoon in fighting against Ancient God Nethertooth.

“The situation is bad!” Ancient God Nethertooth’s expression was gloomy.

Zhao Feng’s pet was extremely strange, and he himself was extremely strong. The two people Ancient God Nethertooth had brought with him were no match for Zhao Feng in a one-on-one fight. And at this moment, he was being hindered by two experts of the Giant God Race. Even if he used his trump cards, they wouldn’t have much of an effect.

The defeat of the bewitching woman was an inevitability. When the time came, he would be facing three people and might even die.

“Retreat!” Knowing that everything was settled already, Ancient God Nethertooth immediately messaged the woman.

A moment later, Ancient God Nethertooth transformed into a dark streak of light and fled.

“Want to run away?” Zhao Feng noticed that the woman was also about to run and immediately used his Spacetime Intent to unleash a Heaven Engulfing Palm.

The palm transcended space and immediately reappeared next to the bewitching woman, leaving no time for her to dodge.

Plush!

The bewitching woman vomited blood and instantly slowed down.

“Don’t let her run as well!” Ancient God Stillmoon rejoiced upon seeing Zhao Feng intercept the woman and immediately thrust out a finger.

Ancient God Nethertooth was extremely strong and skilled in escape. It would be pointless for the two of them to pursue him. But since Zhao Feng had stopped the bewitching woman, they would not easily let her go.

“Die!” Ancient God Sundermount activated all his bloodline power, and his energy instantly swelled.

Surrounded by three people, the bewitching woman was swiftly slain.

“We actually pushed them back, and even killed two of them!” Once the battle was over, Ancient God Sundermount was somewhat overcome by disbelief.

“This is all due to Young Master Zhao. He has an even better grasp of the Soul Dao than the Ancient Soul Race!” Ancient God Stillmoon looked at Zhao Feng and said in a friendly tone.

The victory in this battle was entirely due to Zhao Feng swiftly crushing one person and reversing the tides.

Ancient God Sundermount solemnly looked at Zhao Feng, completely acknowledging his strength.

Meow!

The little thieving cat immediately appeared, indicating that it was even more formidable and useful than its master.

“Yes, you were also very formidable.” Ancient God Stillmoon giggled.

What seemed like certain death became a situation where two members of the Ancient Soul Race were killed while the other fled. The members of the Giant God Race were as happy as could be.

“Ancient God Nethertooth has escaped. We have to get moving as quickly as possible, before Ancient Soul Hall can send any more reinforcements!” Ancient God Sundermount suggested.

The three of them once more entered the simple flying ship and vanished.

Three years later, in a mountainous region of the Chixing Zone, the flying ship broke through the clouds.

“We’ll be at Giant God Hall soon!” Ancient God Stillmoon was delighted.

Ever since the battle with Ancient God Nethertooth’s group, they had not encountered any obstacles or dangers and were now on the verge of returning home. They had even brought the Ancient God Seal back. With their mission smoothly completed, their status in Giant God Hall was certain to rise.
