Chapter 578: Soul Connection!
In a moment of panic, Mu Yao wrapped her arms around her body, resembling the wings of a Garuda, enclosing herself.
“Clang clang…”
Mu Yao was struck by the fiery clash, sent soaring through the air, and coughed up blood as she fell.
Finally, she managed to get back on her feet. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in numerous wounds, stained with blood. She looked battered and in a pitiable state.
“Too strong, it’s beyond me!”
Su Yi was well aware of Mu Yao’s true strength. Seeing her in such a pitiful condition, severely injured, left him astonished. It seemed that even the legacy left by the Divine Sword School’s founder would be unattainable.
“The treasure will choose its own master, meant for those with destiny.”
Su Yi contemplated, his eyes thoughtful as he slowly moved closer to the stone platform, eager to give it a try.
Su Yi had originally joined the Divine Sword School because of the immense benefits it offered.
Now, the great opportunity was right before his eyes. It was no longer just a temptation—he felt resolute to seize it since he had come this far!
“Hmph!”
As Su Yi advanced, a cold glint flickered in Yun Lingfeng’s eyes. A smirk spread across his face, enjoying the sight of this young man on the brink of downfall, hoping for even greater calamities to fall upon him.
Could this tremendous benefit really be obtained so easily?
As Su Yi neared the stone platform, his gaze locked on the divine weapon within the radiant barrier, its blood-red glow catching his attention. His eyes shone with excitement.
This relic, left by the Elder Ancestor of the Divine Sword School, possibly contained the entire legacy of the Elder Ancestor. If obtained, it would indeed be a monumental benefit.
“Communication is necessary, and treasures will select their owners. They cannot be taken forcefully…”
Su Yi murmured, a solemn expression on his face. A nameless spiritual power emanated from his mind, drifting toward the radiant barrier, attempting to establish a connection with the divine weapon.
He moved cautiously, careful not to make any missteps.
This was the power of the soul. Once injured, the consequences were far more severe than physical wounds.
This was why people feared Soul Tamers.
Soul Tamers often targeted the soul directly or used soul-infused strikes in their martial techniques.
Any injury to the soul could affect one’s future cultivation.
In the final battle of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, Yun Lingfeng became overly confident in his soul-infused attacks.
But even now, Yun Lingfeng had no idea that Su Yi’s soul power far exceeded his physical strength.
The Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul was terrifyingly powerful, which was why Yun Lingfeng suffered such a crushing defeat at Su Yi’s hands.
A trace of invisible soul power slowly approached the light curtain, and Su Yi remained watchful and alert.
With Su Yi’s careful focus, an ethereal force touched the light curtain, startlingly without disturbance.
Su Yi’s soul power penetrated the light curtain, moving toward the divine weapon resting on the stone platform.
This was only possible after Su Yi had cultivated the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul. Without that, his soul power alone would have been insufficient for such an endeavor.
“Buzz!”
The divine weapon rumbled as Su Yi’s soul power brushed against it, instantly causing a tremor. Ancient runes swirled and rippled on the blood-red blade.
“Snap!”
The stone platform shook, and the divine weapon began to sink as though retreating back into the stone.
“Oh no!”
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. He realized that if the divine weapon retreated, all his previous efforts would be for nothing. Without hesitation, he unleashed his soul’s power, sending an invisible surge of energy that bound the divine weapon.
“Bzzz!”
The divine weapon roared, seemingly influenced by an unknown force. Its blood-red radiance intensified, and its aura surged as if trying to break free from Su Yi’s grasp over its soul.
Su Yi, having finally established the connection, was unwilling to let go. With a burst of soul power, he reinforced his hold on the divine weapon.
“Boom!”
A radiant light blazed above the divine weapon. The blood-red glow erupted, filling the surroundings with an ominous energy that caused the surrounding light to pulse and ripple.
“Rumble…”
The entire mountain peak shook, trembling along with the divine weapon, causing the earth to quake and the mountains to rumble.
“Is Su Yi going to succeed?”
“Could it be that Su Yi has communicated with the divine weapon?”
Witnessing the scene, everyone was stunned. Liu Yunchuan, Mu Yao, and Jian Shiyi exchanged astonished glances, deeply moved.
Yun Lingfeng, his eyes filled with hidden malice, felt a sense of surprise, and his expression changed swiftly.
“Swoosh…”
Yun Lingfeng grew uneasy. His figure dashed forward, fearing that Su Yi had indeed connected with the divine weapon. After all, this young man was shrouded in many mysteries, and such an extraordinary opportunity could not fall into anyone else’s hands.
In front of the glowing curtain, Yun Lingfeng clenched his teeth in secret. A small jade bottle quietly appeared in his hand, which he gently crushed. A drop of blood spilled onto his palm.
“Boom!”
The drop of blood burst into a dazzling brilliance, as if merging with Yun Lingfeng’s palm. The blood radiated like sunlight, filling the air with an ancient aura.
Yun Lingfeng extended his hand and placed it directly on the luminous curtain.
Suddenly, the luminous curtain surged like a massive wave.
Beams of radiant light exploded from the curtain, as countless sword lights shot out recklessly.
But at that moment, from Yun Lingfeng’s palm, a vast sea of blood radiated, as if a crimson moon descended, threatening to devour everything, creeping over the luminous curtain.
Meanwhile, the divine weapons on the stone platform seemed to be influenced by an invisible force, trembling violently.
The luminous curtain shone even brighter, and the divine weapons, once retreating back to the stone platform, soared once again, as though trying to break free.
“Kaka…”
The ancient stone platform’s mystic symbols flared, emitting a powerful energy as though trying to bind the divine weapon.
Yet, the surroundings began to crack and shatter.
“What’s happening? It seems like Yun Lingfeng has also connected with the divine weapon!”
“Yun Lingfeng seems unusual, with something strange about that eerie blood glow!”
Seeing the commotion caused by Yun Lingfeng, Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, Ou Luo, and others outside the light barrier were clearly shaken.
Inside the barrier, Liu Yunchuan, Jian Shiyi, and Mu Yao were even more astounded.
“Buzz!”
Soon, the divine weapon soared from the stone platform, humming with a thunderous power, as crimson light erupted.
The light curtain around the stone platform crumbled, inch by inch, eventually vanishing completely.
Seeing this, Yun Lingfeng’s eyes gleamed with joy.
“Are you trying to obtain the ancient divine weapon as well?”
Yun Lingfeng, eyeing Su Yi, shouted coldly. He quickly moved forward, his palm glowing with bloodlight, reaching for the divine weapon.
Su Yi, still astonished, felt the invisible spiritual connection with the divine weapon. He sensed more clearly now that an eerie aura emanated from Yun Lingfeng.
That bloodlight seemed to communicate with the divine weapon.
However, the greatest rewards lay before him, and Su Yi was unwilling to watch someone else claim them.
“Swoosh…”
As Yun Lingfeng advanced, Su Yi followed without hesitation. He activated the Hundred Transformations Step to its peak, leaving behind a trail of afterimages as he reached out for the divine weapon.
