The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 284: The End of the Battle

"If we don't quickly deal with this kid, I'm afraid a great disaster will befall us."

He never expected that his Law Manifestation, which he thought could easily kill Chen Ling, would be so easily broken through.

Cao Weiye had already realized the crisis and his eyes narrowed.

He hurriedly exerted all his strength to display his soul power, blocking the golden lotus attacks in his sea of consciousness.

His expression turned pale, followed by a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that Chen Ling's cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Gold Core realm.

It should be noted that there was a huge gap between the Gold Core and Nascent Soul realms.

Moreover, he had a unique advantage in terms of soul power, being a blood soul spirit root.

His soul power was already extremely pure.

He dared not hold back any longer.

With a thought, his soul power surged violently as he shouted, "Yin Ming Blood Purgatory!"

An eerie fluctuation immediately swept towards Chen Ling from all directions.

In an instant, the scenery before Chen Ling's eyes changed. The sunny surroundings instantly turned into a gloomy and eerie place.

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and felt the continuous sound of ghostly cries and wolf howls around him.

Endless gloomy mist swept over him!

Immediately after, a suffocating and strange attack emerged from all directions. His ears rang loudly, and for a moment, his sea of consciousness violently trembled.

"Break!"

Chen Ling shouted, and his golden lotus Law Manifestation immediately emitted a brilliant golden light, dispelling the surrounding gloomy mist.

Only when the surroundings were enveloped in golden radiance did his sea of consciousness stabilize again.

Fortunately, his soul power was almost comparable to a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and he had condensed a golden lotus soul Law Manifestation.

Otherwise, he would have been swallowed by this gloomy mist!

Looking around, there was no trace of Cao Weiye on the opposite side.

"Ah, this soul domain is really terrifying."

Chen Ling was shocked and looked serious.

The golden lotus Law Manifestation emitted a golden radiance around him, constantly blocking the surging gloomy aura.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, after their soul Law Manifestation was shattered, it would be difficult to quickly condense a soul domain like this.

Now that he was trapped in the soul domain, he could only use force to destroy it.

"Kid, your soul power is not weak, just enough to help this old man restore his cultivation."

Cao Weiye's sinister voice floated unpredictably with the surging gloomy mist from all directions, and his aura was exceptionally strange and terrifying.

From the tone of his voice, it seemed that Cao Weiye, who was hidden in the soul domain, had regained his confidence.

The gap between Nascent Soul cultivators and Gold Core cultivators was like a chasm, and the quality and quantity of their soul power were completely different.

Moreover, comprehending the laws of the soul was extremely rare.

His Yin Ming Blood Purgatory carried a tremendous soul pressure, not only with illusory soul attacks, but also with actual soul body attacks. Even if this kid cultivated a soul Law Manifestation, Chen Ling didn't believe he could leave this place alive.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

In the next moment, endless gloomy mist surged again.

Within the mist, a huge eye floated in the air, sinister and evil!

It leaked out a strange luster, as if touching it would be drawn into an endless abyss of gloom.

Chen Ling continued to condense his golden lotus Law Manifestation to block the surrounding mist, ignoring this evil eye.

However, he felt that this eye suddenly penetrated his golden lotus Law Manifestation and grew in his sea of consciousness.

In an instant, his sea of consciousness seemed to be occupied by densely packed and eerie eyes.

A huge fear arose within him.

He exerted all his strength to operate his golden lotus Law Manifestation, wanting to destroy these evil eyes.

But strangely, he discovered that on his golden lotus Law Manifestation, on those golden lotus leaves, one evil eye after another bloomed.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chen Ling was greatly shocked.

Since condensing his golden lotus Law Manifestation, he had almost always been victorious in soul power battles and had never suffered any losses.

This situation completely caught him off guard!

He took a deep breath, thinking that this might be an illusion caused by the opponent's soul domain Divine Ability.

Only by continuously condensing the divine soul can the Law Manifestation of the Golden Lotus be released.

However, above the Law Manifestation of the Golden Lotus, evil eyes continue to shoot out, not stopping. Those eyes are eerie and terrifying.

Slowly covering his sea of consciousness.

He feels that his divine soul is being continuously corroded and devoured by these evil eyes, rapidly weakening.

His heart is filled with horror, but he has no way to respond for a moment.

If it were a domain condensed by mana, he could still self-destruct the puppet.

But in the domain of the soul, self-destructing the puppet is useless.

And at this moment, it seems that the soul tree in his sea of consciousness has been attacked and immediately reflexively flies up into the sky.

The red soul leaves shine brightly, and a fiery red soul flame shoots out, rushing towards those eerie evil eyes around him like a flood dragon made of flames.

"Hoo!"

Wherever the flame flood dragon sweeps through, the evil eyes instantly turn into ashes. And as the flame light spreads like ripples, patches of evil eyes are incinerated.

Chen Ling immediately feels the terrifying oppression in his sea of consciousness dissipate.

There are sweat marks on his forehead, and he secretly breathes a sigh of relief. If this soul flame had appeared a little later, his sea of consciousness would have been occupied by these evil eyes.

Even if he managed to save his life by chance, his sea of consciousness would have suffered heavy damage.

"Nine Nether Soul Flame?"

Cao Weiye, who is fully controlling the domain of the soul, coldly snorts, a look of surprise on his face. "This seat wants to see how long this soul flame can protect you."

As soon as his voice falls, a cold light flashes on that eerie giant eye, and a thick black mist sweeps towards Chen Ling.

"What is this?"

Chen Ling's gaze shifts, and within the black mist, there are actually various strange soul sounds emitted by soul bodies.

These soul sounds rush towards him like a tsunami, violently impacting his sea of consciousness.

Among these soul bodies, one after another phantom-like figures suddenly float up, there are humans, there are beasts, almost a thousand of them.

"Kid, these are the ghosts of the soul domain. Soon, you will become one of them!"

Cao Weiye's sinister voice resounds again.

This is a Divine Ability of the soul domain, Blood Purgatory Soul Sound.

Extremely difficult to cultivate, it requires absorbing the soul power of souls with a high level of soul cultivation.

Using their soul power to condense attacks.

Once used, the souls wander, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, attacking the sea of consciousness of cultivators!

At the same time, the Law Manifestation of the Golden Lotus shines brightly, but it is unable to block all the soul sounds for a while, allowing some of the soul sounds to enter the sea of consciousness.

Immediately, Chen Ling's sea of consciousness becomes gloomy and terrifying again, and a dark ghostly aura condenses.

Just at this moment, a surging flame light bursts out from the red soul leaves and quickly integrates with the Nine Nether Soul Flame, spreading rapidly in the sea of consciousness.

In just a blink of an eye, it has spread throughout the entire sea of consciousness, completely incinerating the ghostly aura.

The sea of consciousness instantly becomes a sea of fire, as if a fire dragon is roaring within it. The soul flame rises fiercely, intensely, and gathers towards the Law Manifestation of the Golden Lotus.

The Law Manifestation of the Golden Lotus shines brilliantly.

Hoo! The golden brilliance surges without wind, like a raging wave.

In an instant, it condenses into a golden giant sword and slashes heavily towards that huge evil eye.

Under the golden radiance, the golden light rushes past, and the evil eye instantly shatters.

"Ah! The power of the origin of the divine soul, how is this possible!"

At the moment when the evil eye is shattered, the entire sky's gloomy mist instantly dissipates, and a tearing pain spreads in the divine soul. Cao Weiye can't help but scream in agony.

But he no longer has time to care about the injuries to his sea of consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, a huge figure instantly appears in front of him.

After receiving Chen Ling's command, the Platinum Ape instantly activates its void flickering and appears directly in front of Cao Weiye, its giant fist striking down.

Boom!

Flesh and blood fly, and the Nascent Soul is also shattered.

The vitality of the physical body immediately ceases.

However, in the air, a soul that looks exactly like Cao Weiye's soul quickly floats upwards.

Chen Ling coldly snorts, and the red soul flame shoots out from his sea of consciousness, instantly catching up to that soul.

"You dare to kill me! My ancestor will annihilate your entire clan!"

"As long as you let me go, this seat will not hold a grudge!"

A thought transmission comes.

But the soul flame directly wraps around the soul, burning it to ashes.

And accompanied by strands of light, it was sucked into the yellow soul leaf.

Then, with a thought from Chen Ling, he collected the storage ring that was falling to the ground and put it in his pocket.

His gaze turned to the sky again.

Although he had defeated Cao Weiye, there was not much joy in his heart at this moment.

What really determined the outcome was the battle in the sky.

······.

Seeing Cao Weiye, who had already reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, being killed along with his Nascent Soul, several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lan Yue Sect, who were ten miles away, were shocked and immediately stopped fighting, retreating without hesitation.

They had originally thought that killing the Zhao family cultivators would be an easy task.

But half a day had already passed.

The two Soul Formation Ancestors had no news at all.

Instead, three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lan Yue Sect had been killed.

"This kid can kill the Elder, his divine soul is not something we can stop, retreat quickly!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Lan Yue Sect shouted anxiously while fleeing.

In the upper echelons of the Lan Yue Sect, everyone knew how terrifying Cao Weiye's divine soul was.

But he was actually killed by a mid Gold Core cultivator.

It was possible that this person was deliberately disguised as a Soul Formation cultivator.

Apart from Soul Formation cultivators, he couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat Cao Weiye.

Others also had the intention to retreat at this moment.

Originally, besieging a Rank Five Demon King had already consumed a lot of their energy, and many people had not recovered yet.

In this battle against the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Zhao family, they still had an absolute advantage in numbers.

But with the addition of the Chen family, the numerical advantage was wiped out.

In addition, the formation formed by Chen Ling, Haoyang Bird, Fire Spirit Beast, and Wang Yun was extremely powerful.

They couldn't gain any advantage at all.

They also understood that if they continued to fight, they would only have a dead end, so it was better to retreat first and avoid the edge of the sword.

Wait until the two Soul Formation Ancestors determined the outcome, then kill them all.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Just at this moment, a proud scream sounded, and the Fire Spirit Beast and Haoyang Bird simultaneously swooped down from the sky, spewing out two extremely hot flames, blasting towards one of the mid Nascent Soul cultivators.

Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator would yield tens of thousands of contribution points.

Naturally, they wouldn't miss this opportunity.

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Cao family, whose aura had already plummeted, quickly turned his head in panic. He saw two pillars of flame, like the scorching sun falling from the void, fiercely attacking him.

He had a face full of fear and panic. With his speed, he definitely couldn't be faster than the two Rank Four flying beasts. He could only grit his teeth, raise his hand, and continuously release several black thunder beads, hoping to block the speed of the two Spirit Beasts.

The two Spirit Beasts didn't have much concern at all. The flames they each released in the air split into several thin strands of fire, directly bombarding the thunder beads.

With a flash of lightning-like flame, several crisp cracking sounds rang out. The thunder beads hadn't exploded yet, but they were incinerated into powder and scattered in the wind.

And the two sun-like flames heavily struck the man's body, instantly engulfing his figure.

······.

After an incense stick's worth of time.

Chen Ling stood on the broken city wall, his face slightly pale. Although he had killed Cao Weiye in this battle, he had also consumed a lot of energy.

"The Soul Dao cultivator's combat power is indeed strange. If I didn't have the original soul tree, I wouldn't be his match at all."

Chen Ling held his breath and absorbed two Soul Pill, and his divine soul in his sea of consciousness recovered to twenty percent. He said to himself.

In his opinion, Cao Weiye's soul domain was no less powerful than Du Qingyun's sword domain.

If it weren't for killing the Rank Five Demon King and carrying injuries, the result would be hard to say.

The other Nascent Soul battlefields had already determined the outcome.

In this battle, one Nascent Soul cultivator from the Zhao family fell, and the others were more or less injured.

The Lan Yue Sect had five Nascent Soul cultivators fall, and many others were seriously injured and withdrew from the battlefield.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhao family also didn't dare to pursue recklessly. After all, not all cultivators had a powerful divine soul attack like Chen Ling.

If they pushed their opponents too hard, the opponents would self-destruct their Nascent Soul, resulting in a situation where both sides suffered.

However, the Zhao family cultivators could completely accept this situation.

Now, the only thing that worried them was the situation in the sky.

Who wins and who loses is the key to absolute life and death.

On the Chen family's side, only Wei Wenwu is injured.

Wang Yun and the others have also suffered some consumption.

As for the Haoyang Bird and the Fire Spirit Beast, they still have combat power.

Everyone is resting and recovering, waiting anxiously for the situation on the high-altitude battlefield.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Laozu and Wang Laozu are ultimately Nascent Soul cultivators, slightly inferior to the two Soul Formation cultivators.

Boom!

In the high altitude, there are occasional earth-shattering sounds.

Sometimes, thick clouds shine with flames like burning clouds.

Sometimes, dark clouds fill the sky, thunder shakes, and hurricanes howl.

The entire void seems like the end of the world!

Looking at the many cultivators, they are filled with fear.

"Ah! I hope the two old masters can hold on!"

Chen Ling sighs slightly, feeling extremely nervous.

Although this battle is led by the Zhao family, it also determines the life and death of the Chen family.

There can be no mistakes!

Once Cao and Du win, he will immediately take his wives and concubines and flee this place.

After returning to Yudie City, they will relocate to the wilderness.

This is the retreat he has long planned.

Next, everyone waits patiently.

This wait lasts for a day and a night!

During this day and night, even though they are thousands of miles away in the high altitude, with Chen Ling and the others' cultivation level, they can still sense the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations in the sky.

If Soul Formation cultivators engage in battle, it would be no different from seeking death to rashly go and watch.

They can only judge who has the upper hand based on the different colors of the vast spiritual lights flashing in the sky, according to their own cultivation attributes and Treasure Weapons.

On this day, with several earth-shattering sounds, the sky resounds.

Only to see that the sky is like an exploding blood-red sun, the intense flames dyeing the entire void into a fiery red, like a sea of fire.

Even though they are far apart, Chen Ling's eyes are still stung by this scorching light.

Other cultivators are even more uncomfortable, but they still widen their eyes.

Their gazes all look towards the sky.

The battle clouds in the high altitude have gradually dispersed.

Chen Ling cautiously extends his divine sense towards the sky, while also transmitting his voice to Wang Yun and the others, telling them to prepare for retreat.

After dozens of breaths, he finally exhales heavily.

The thing he was most worried about did not happen.

Zhao Laozu slowly descends from the sky onto the city wall.

Although he looks pitiful.

Only to see Zhao Laozu, who just landed on the city wall, with tattered clothes and white hair on his head, looking like he has aged several decades.

"To actually kill the Soul Formation cultivator Du Wei and still be able to escape unscathed!"

A sigh sounds from beside Chen Ling, and the Haoyang Bird looks at Zhao Laozu with an incredulous expression.

"Zhao Xiaor's hand has the Rank Five High Grade Dao Weapon, Thunder Mountain Seal, and he is also a Thunder Body. It's normal for him to burn his own blood essence, stimulate the Thunder Dao Divine Ability, and defeat Du Wei, who has been hovering in the early stage of Soul Formation for many years!"

The Fire Spirit Beast says with a serious expression.

Chen Ling doesn't pay attention to them, quickly steps forward, and anxiously asks, "Old master, are you alright?"

Other Zhao family Nascent Soul cultivators also come forward, with concerned expressions.

Zhao Laozu coughs violently a few times, traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, and dismissively says, "I won't die!"

Seeing Zhao Laozu's somewhat unsteady body, Chen Ling quickly supports him with one hand.

His heart is filled with joy.

Zhao Laozu is fine, it's Du Wei who is in trouble.

This crisis is resolved in an instant.

But there is still Cao Yuntian, they can't be careless!

Following that, Zhao Laozu sits cross-legged on the spot, takes a pill, and starts cultivating with closed eyes.

Others also sit down beside him, not daring to disturb in the slightest.
