Chapter 1006: Soul Battle!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
*Rumble!*
In the blink of an eye, several dozen blows were exchanged! Xia Fei and Solo had started their battle right at the most intense tempo. Every attack Xia Fei made was lethal, and while Solo’s arm had been wounded, the frequency of his counterattacks and their power was not any weaker than Xia Fei’s.
Solo had powerful cultivation, and from the combat strength he was currently displaying, he seemed to be an existence even stronger than Constant. This was particularly true when it came to his use of soul power. He had actually managed to materialize it!
It had to be understood that while Xia Gucheng, Crane, and Constant were all at the Founder tier, possessing the power of souls, none of them could use soul power in a combat technique as Solo was. Rather, they used soul power to strengthen their law forces.
This method naturally was not as effective as directly using soul power. Soul power was called a second life for warriors precisely because of the enormous boost it gave them!
When a battle that was primarily fought with the body was pulled into the heights where mental energy was used in battle, it was like the difference between reality and a dream. The Soul Arts flying through the air were like dazzling fireworks, and the lethal forces they produced could destroy everything!
*Rumble!*
Solo released several streams of soul power in a row, and they flitted past Xia Fei like white ghosts or white kites, dragging long tails behind them.
Such flighty attacks were nothing to Xia Fei, for Xia Fei was a speed warrior who could crisscross the sea of stars, possessing Crafty Approach and incredible speed.
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei’s body blinked as he easily avoided this string of attacks, but then he heard Radix urgently call out in his ear, “Don’t underestimate these attacks! They can detonate!”
As Radix spoke, suddenly those drifting white kites exploded in positions not far from Xia Fei!
*Rumble!*
The explosions were not that intense, but they put Xia Fei in so much pain that he almost did not want to live. It was like some monster had drilled into his brain to torture his thoughts!
“This is soul power! Its lethality isn’t in the body, but indirectly attacking your soul! Fortunately, with your speed, you managed to create some distance from them, or else the shockwave would have torn your soul apart! Once your soul is damaged, even the strongest body will become useless. Look at Furball and Peacock Blue!”
Radix fought through the pain to speak. While he was a top-rate immortal soul, even Radix had been shaken by Solo’s full-power attack!
Hearing Radix’s words, Xia Fei hastily glanced at Peacock Blue and Furball. Furball had been farther away from the explosion, so he was doing okay, simply shaking his head in vexation as he roared at Solo. But Peacock Blue had wilted and withered!
As an Immemorial Mystical Armament, Peacock Blue also had a soul! It had unfurled its eight blades of grass and was trying to catch Solo, so it had received the greatest shock!
While the attack had not been fatal, Peacock Blue had lost the ability to fight. It slowly drew back its leaves as it was forced to retreat to Xia Fei’s arm to rest.
All of this had happened in only a second. In the distance, the Founders and the Skywing wolves had sensed the oddity of this explosion. Xia Fei’s combat power had clearly fallen, and the situation was rather dangerous, but they could not rush over to his rescue. After all, the distance was just too vast. Xia Fei would have to hold out on his own!
Chaos! The battle was growing more and more chaotic!
On one side was the injured Crane and the soul-wounded Xia Fei, and on the other, the Skywing Wolves and the Founders were chasing down Constant. Both battles were still ongoing, and there was no clear winner!
This was particularly true for Xia Fei’s side. He was just barely holding on! The sinister Solo’s attack had almost turned the tables!
Radix was hurt, reducing his control over Nirvana, and Furball’s mind was a mess; he was going crazy. As for Peacock Blue, it had drawn back into Xia Fei’s arm. While Xia Fei was in danger, Solo had an opportunity!
*Whoosh!*
Solo swung that pitch-black short sword at Xia Fei with furious momentum!
But Solo’s opponent was Xia Fei! A monster who had learned how to use soul techniques right after unlocking his soul imprint!
The Fiendish Blade Nirvana contained many souls. While Xia Fei had used most of the souls in a previous battle, he still had Queen Wenpixa!
Nirvana had absorbed the soul of the Dark Queen only a few minutes ago, and it was probably still piping hot!
An inexplicable feeling rapidly surged through Xia Fei, and without a thought, Xia Fei began to move his arms as directed by this undercurrent!
As he moved, he pushed out a Soul Shade! A soul with the power of a Founder!
*Bang!*
Like a legendary banshee, the Soul Shade bared its teeth and flailed its claws, its hair disheveled and scattered, and lunged at Solo!
Queen Wenpixa had been far more powerful and cunning than King Wendar!
Soul power was very strange. It was not stronger just because someone was strong. Rather, it all depended on whether or not a warrior’s mental energy was sufficiently crazy!
A crazy person like Xia Fei naturally had a powerful soul. He had a sufficiently tenacious personality, and his mind was packed with all sorts of plots and schemes. He was an opponent that nobody wanted to fight against.
Wenpixa had also been very powerful, and she had been the mastermind behind the Dark lifeforms. Her soul was brimming with various dark elements, and when she was unleashed as a Soul Shade, these plots and schemes became a formidable combat strength that could destroy everything!
*Rumble!*
The enormous banshee-like soul opened its arms to give Solo the embrace of death!
The stars instantly dimmed! Shadowy and fearful energies permeated space!
“What is this!?”
“Is this also a kind of attack!?”
“Too powerful! How did Xia Fei manage to do it!?”
The Founders all trembled in shock as they looked at the miracle Xia Fei had unleashed. On the other end, Solo had turned ghastly pale from shock. There was no doubt that this was a Soul attack and one even stronger than what he had just used!
Solo dodged hastily, but the Soul Shade of Dark Queen Wenpixa moved faster and faster! Its face gradually grew more distinct, like a ghost descending from the heavens!
*Whoosh!*
Solo avoided the Soul Shade’s attack, but Soul Shades were powerful because they were like real warriors, able to attack all by themselves
Wenpixa’s Soul Shade suddenly thrust out its left arm, its hand like an eagle’s claw. In a flash, the sharp nails scraped across Solo’s waist. Curiously, this attack didn’t deal any physical damage. Instead, some white silky substance was pulled out of Solo’s body, and Solo let out a heart-rending shriek as if he had been gravely injured!
Radix clenched his teeth and cursed resentfully, “This is the power of a Soul Shade! Rather than hurting the body, it directly attacks the soul! Unfortunately, your powers are still too weak, and this attack didn’t strike Solo in a fatal spot, so it couldn’t completely drag out Solo’s soul!”
Solo had been badly wounded, but Xia Fei was not doing that well, either. He dropped weakly to the ground, and even though he tried his best to persevere, he could not even muster the slightest bit of energy.
The outcome was now completely clear. His face ashen, Solo used a spatial compass to escape. From his staggering steps, he would probably need a long time to recover and would not cause much of a stir in the Law Realm for a while.
The situation on the other end was even more awkward. The Founders had been worried about Crane’s injuries, so they had fallen back, but as they were halfway there, Solo fled. As they thought about going back to join the pursuit, Constant also escaped!
*Rumble!*
Constant unleashed the same storm of comets he had used to enter the field, and used a spatial tunnel to escape while the Skywing Wolves were busy dodging them.
*Plush!*
The female Founder, Youth, who had been heavily injured by Ocean, was slightly slower to act, and the Skywing Wolves instantly rushed over and tore her to pieces!
With this, this battle of peak experts of the universe had come to an end!
The Founder Solo had been heavily injured! Crane, heavily injured! Ocean, heavily injured! Youth, Smile, and Atrophy had been slain in battle!
Dark King Wendar and his older sister Queen Wenpixa had been slain in battle! The million-man Dark lifeform army and more than one thousand Dark Leviathans had been slain by the combined forces of the five great powers of the Law Realm!
From this day forward, the Dark lifeform and the Hall of Many Gods would cease to exist!
Meanwhile, there was still no news on the battle between the two Soul Hunters, Hosu and Wenwist!
…
The clean-up phase of the battle was particularly bloody. The Founders led by Xia Gucheng failed to chase down Solo, Constant, Cold, and Rock, so they turned around and began to callously massacre the Dark lifeform army!
After tens of thousands of years of grudges against the Dark lifeform that had hungrily eyed the Law Realm from its perimeter, the whole Law Realm could be said to hate the Dark lifeform down to the bones!
The fact that Constant had been colluding with the Dark lifeform filled the eyes of the warriors with bloodlust!
The most frustrating thing of all was not that one’s good friend had died, but that they had died in ignorance!
The Law Realm had lost countless heroes since ancient times, all for the sake of the selfish desires of its rulers!? This news was like a sharp dagger that twisted in the heart of every warrior of the Law Realm!
The Dark lifeforms were truly unfortunate, for none of these warriors had anywhere else to vent their rage. The Dark lifeform deploying its army at this time had made it the perfect target of the Law Realm’s wrath!
The mixture of new and old hatreds pushed the Law Realm warriors to madness! They pursued the remnants of the Dark lifeform army all the way into Dark Space!
Crane, Ocean, and Xia Fei did not take part in the final pursuit, instead of receiving treatment with the aid of several apothecaries.
The most gravely wounded of them, Crane, was the first to recover, followed by Ocean. Ocean actually had not been too badly injured. The problem was that Ocean had fought until the end, causing his injury to worsen and leaving himself extremely weak.
As Xia Fei had overdrawn his strength, he was still in a half-conscious state.
A large and muscular man appeared, squatting down and placing a hand on Xia Fei’s forehead. “Is Xia Fei okay?”
“You are?” the apothecaries in charge of treatment asked curiously.
This war had made the God Race and Demon Race stop viewing each other as enemies, the Guardians and Rebels stop their battles in the shadows, and the mercenary groups of the Exiled Grounds acknowledge the power of the Law Realm. The Law Realm was finally united. Thus, while this man was a stranger, the apothecaries did not stop him.
“I’m Chen Dong, Xia Fei’s friend,” said the man sternly.
As he spoke, a shrill woman spoke.
“Chen Dong?! Why are you here? Where’s Xia Fei?” asked Moon Song hurriedly.
Chen Dong used his chin to point at Xia Fei, saying, “Xia Fei seems to be in a little trouble.”
Moon Song was taken aback, and she wanted nothing more than to rush up and hug Xia Fei, but she quickly calmed down. Pursing her lips, she lightly kicked him.
“Xia Fei’s a stubborn sort. He won’t die that easily!” Moon Song snapped.
Despite her words, there was a clear worry on Moon Song’s face. Who said that there was never a time when Moon Song showed her real emotions? It was just that this girl tended to hide her real emotions under her rude and unruly nature.
Chen Dong frowned and said, “You should know what happened with Qin Mang, right? I’m thinking of telling him once Xia Fei wakes up .”
