“Destroy, then! Go ahead! Once you destroy me, your Mighty God Race will be finished!”
Jiang Yi was very adamant. If he was taken over by someone else, he would rather die. Hence, although he could feel that mummy’s hand clawing furiously at his chest, he still continued his crazed attack on its remnant soul.
He had no choice but to fight; with his back cornered—if he did not win the battle, he would die. When clashing face to face with an enemy, a victor had to emerge. This moment, all that mattered was who was more brutal and more overbearing!
Boom!
That mummy’s huge hand flashed with a green light and clawed furiously as Jiang Yi’s chest exploded.
That’s right…
It exploded. The jade-white armor was torn apart layer by layer as that mummy’s hand was like an extremely sharp treasure sword; it actually clawed apart a Primitive Spiritual Treasure!
This Primitive Spiritual Treasure was something not even the six-colored burning flame could destroy, something not even He Nongying’s arrow could pierce through. Now, it had actually been easily destroyed by a claw.
The claw easily dug into Jiang Yi’s chest and reached forward to grab at Jiang Yi’s divine core. Once Jiang Yi’s divine core was destroyed, Jiang Yi would become crippled. Furthermore, if it was destroyed rather abruptly, it might actually cause a huge disruption in Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers. He might self-destruct; his entire body might become a fine powder.
“Do it, then!”
Jiang Yi shouted madly as he completely ignored that huge hand. He continued to control the Xiaozhuan characters and the Heaven-Swallowing Beast to attack that green smoke within his soul spirit.
The Mighty God Race formidable martial artist, the East Thearch’s remnant soul had survived after thirty thousand years because he had actually got hold of a secret art. If not, it would have dissipated long ago.
After thirty thousand years, his remnant soul was already weak beyond measure. It had also been devoured by the Heaven-Swallowing Beast previously and was now facing a two-pronged attack; it was on the verge of destruction. The East Thearch sent out a slightly feeble message: “Lad, are you really going to continue this attack? If so, do not blame me for being heartless.”
Jiang Yi’s mind was fixed as he continued his attacks in earnest. “This is who I am! Die—”
Tsk! Tsk!
That hand that had entered Jiang Yi’s chest heavily dug inside; it had already got hold of Jiang Yi’s divine core. As long as it exerted the slightest of force, Jiang Yi’s divine core would be destroyed. However, Jiang Yi was still desperately continuing his attacks with the Heaven-Swallowing Beast.
“Forget it, forget it, forget it!”
That hand actually stopped at the last moment as it retracted swiftly. The Mighty God Race remnant soul spoke weakly: “Lad, you are indeed brutal; I admit defeat. My body had been refined for ten thousand years using a special secret art; it can rival heavenly soldiers. Do not destroy it. If you have the time, bring my body and bury it underneath the Mighty God Mountain.
“Also, the Mighty God Technique you are cultivating is not complete. If you want to realize the real Mighty God Technique, you have to examine my physical body in detail. Take note of all the acupoints in my body…”
As the remnant soul was speaking, Jiang Yi did not halt his attack even a moment while the Heaven-Swallowing Beast also continued devouring. Only when all the green fog in his soul spirit had been cleansed did Jiang Yi and the Heaven-Swallowing Beast finally stop. As the green light disappeared, the noise subsided as well.
Jiang Yi was still a little wary as he looked about a few times. After making sure that not a sliver of green fog was left, he breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes widened as Xiaozhuan characters shot out from his glabella and rushed into that godfiend-like body as they spun around it. After checking that the remnant soul was completely gone, Jiang Yi took a few steps back as the Divine Tree leaf appeared in his hand; and he started to heal himself.
Huff-huff…
His injuries were not that serious; someone had only opened up his chest. It was a pity that the jade-white armor—such a powerful Primitive Spiritual Treasure—had actually been destroyed?
After recuperating for a while, Jiang Yi was more or less back to normal. He looked at that statue-like body standing upright as he was a little hesitant.
This tens-of-thousands-of-years-old fiend was extremely crafty; Jiang Yi had almost been possessed by him. Who knew if he really died or not? Had the remnant soul really disappeared?
According to that remnant soul, this body was very powerful and contained the true Mighty God Technique. The problem was Jiang Yi could not control it at all. What if he brought the body along and the remnant soul was actually still alive and then launched a sneak attack at him, finally possessing his body?
However, this mummy’s body was really powerful; even the six-colored burning flame could not destroy it while a Primitive Spiritual Treasure had been destroyed by it. It was really quite a waste if Jiang Yi just left it there.
“Oh, right!”
Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something. He shouted, “Little Ferocious!”
A shooting star floated from his glabella as the Heaven-Swallowing Beast congealed in midair. It sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, you called me? This remnant soul is so powerful; it really scared me.”
Jiang Yi pointed at the mummy as he asked, “Can you try if you can control the mummy?”
“Alright!”
The Heaven-Swallowing Beast flew over as its horn lit up. Golden light enveloped the entire mummy; it shone on the mummy for a full five minutes. However, the little beast flew back dispirited as it sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, it’s no use. This mummy does not have a soul spirit; I cannot control it.”
“It doesn’t have a soul spirit? You are certain?” Jiang Yi’s brows rose as he asked seriously.
“I am.”
The Heaven-Swallowing Beast said firmly: “Our race is very sensitive when it comes to soul spirits and beings; they are a delicacy by themselves. This corpse does not contain one.”
“I see…”
Jiang Yi nodded as he asked the Heaven-Swallowing Beast to return into the Fire Spirit Pearl. He looked at that mummy. It was very big and tall; it was forty feet tall. Although it had been around for thirty thousand years, the corpse showed no signs of decay. Instead, it seemed exceptionally solid and sturdy. Its taut muscles were filled with the allure of energy while its eyes were currently shut and couldn’t be seen. Although its head of black hair had not fallen, it actually started to glow with a grayish tint.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this mummy showed no signs of life or even having a heartbeat—from its appearance, people would definitely think that it was still alive.
“Should I keep it or not?”
Jiang Yi was in a bind. After waiting for a moment, two air-splitting sounds rang from afar. Poison Spirit and Qi Qingchen flew in this direction as Poison Spirit shouted, “Young Lord, they are here.”
“Keep it!”
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and took out the Wintry Pearl as he injected heavenly powers into it. The Wintry Pearl shone as that mummy disappeared from the cave. Jiang Yi looked into the Wintry Pearl and saw the mummy in the midst of a horde of Sword Emanations Race beings. After making sure that nothing was amiss, Jiang Yi flew outwards.
“Young Lord, a group of men had come; nine of them are King-Ranked!” Poison Spirit floated over as Qi Qingchen looked at the tunnel and asked anxiously, “Has Jiang Yi succeeded?”
“Succeeded?”
Jiang Yi smiled bitterly; he had almost died just now, and his body had almost become that fiend’s while Qi Qingchen and company would definitely have been killed without knowing why.
Jiang Yi did not have time to explain more as he waved and said, “Let’s retreat first. Qingchen, enter my spatial divine item.”
After Qi Qingchen was placed inside the Chaos Essence Pearl, Jiang Yi unleashed his Art of Concealment as he and Poison Spirit hid deep within the mountains. Soon, air-splitting noises rang out one by one. Seven or eight young masters and young mistresses had brought more than ten guards over. The more than twenty-odd people glanced at the cave entrance as one of the handsome young masters suddenly shouted, “Someone had been here digging for treasures; it should be Jiang Yi!”
“Young Master Feng, you are right!”
One King-Ranked formidable martial artist flashed and appeared; he was actually one of the pair that had been guarding the second level’s entrance. He glanced at the marks left near the cave as he said firmly, “That should be the marks left by Jiang Yi’s puppets. The blood within the cave had not yet dried either; they must have fled recently!”
“Chase!”
Dao Feng’s wolfish eyes swept a glance as he motioned and brought everyone forward.
