King of Creation

To Ye Zhen's surprise, Yang Ben agreed very quickly!

Following Ye Zhen's demand, he made a Divine Soul Poison Oath, which is truly a Divine Soul Poison Oath — if it comes true, it leads to death and the disappearance of one's Dao!

However, in the next moment, Ye Zhen understood why Yang Ben would make such an oath so readily!

Confidence!

This stems from his strong confidence as a Dao Entrance Realm Martial Artist!

A Dao Entrance Realm expert, not to mention a Vein Forging Realm Martial Artist, could slap dead anyone below the Seventh Stage of the Establishment Realm. Even those in the Seventh or Eighth Stage would take only two or three slaps at most.

Only a Ninth Stage Establishment King could contend with them.

And even if Ye Zhen is not a typical Vein Forging Realm Martial Artist, if his combat power can be compared to a Seventh Stage Establishment King, so what?

Especially considering that he'd already witnessed many of Ye Zhen's trump cards before.

"Great Sage of Sea Suppression, please proceed!"

With a slight stretch of his hand, Yang Ben's figure flickered, and he soared into the sky first, afterwards looking down on Ye Zhen with eyes full of Evil Qi!

He had already decided that in this duel, he must slay Ye Zhen on the spot, and capture Ye Zhen's Innate Divine Soul alive for a good round of torment, then sell it for a good price!

"Island Master Yin, big brother, once the battle starts, I ask you to count. For me, even a slight extension in the battle time, even half a breath more, could be fatal!"

Ye Zhen's words bore no exaggeration!

Facing a Dao Entrance Realm expert who would fight him to the death, Ye Zhen wasn't all that confident.

"Fourth brother, don't worry!"

"Great Sage of Sea Suppression, don't worry, our Yin Yang Island has that bit of integrity! Besides, with the three Great Sages here, even if I wanted to delay by half a breath, it would be impossible!" said Grand Island Lord Yin Yi.

"Ye Zhen, I'm not worth all this for....." Liao Feibai's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Zhen's mind, but before Liao Feibai could finish, Ye Zhen had already charged into the sky, not giving any chance for Liao Feibai to stop him.

On the ground, Liao Feibai watched Ye Zhen's figure with a complex gaze.

Just as Ye Zhen flew into the sky, he saw Second Island Master Yang Ben had already densely placed a thick Divine Soul vortex in front of him!

Evidently, this was a deliberate preparation against Ye Zhen's Soul Refining Divine Light.

This alone made Ye Zhen tense up; Yang Ben was harder to deal with than he had imagined, a seasoned veteran indeed.

He wasn't careless due to strong confidence; instead, he was extremely cautious, first making thorough preparations in Divine Soul Defense.

Of course, this also had to do with Ye Zhen continuously catching him off guard in previous battles!

"Lord Yang, you're certainly meticulous?" Ye Zhen said with a tone of sarcasm at this scene.

Yang Ben gave Ye Zhen a disdainful glance, "Just building up momentum before the fight, you can do it too; if you have the ability to build up momentum to the extent of taking me down in one strike, there's no problem!"

Yang Ben's words were full of sarcasm, but in the next instant, his eyes widened as he was suddenly stunned!

The Ye Zhen in the sky opposite, with a slight shake of his shoulders, shockingly produced five identical Ye Zhens.

Now, a total of six identical Ye Zhens spread out in a fan shape, each separated by about five hundred meters.

In an instant, Yang Ben felt a little dizzy and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

While rubbing his eyes, the immense Divine Soul waves emanated from Yang Ben's body, radiating towards the six Ye Zhens opposite!

Afterward, Yang Ben's expression was stunned once more!

Indistinguishable!

His Divine Sense couldn't discern which of the six Ye Zhens was the True Body and which was the Illusory Body!

Yang Ben's expression became stunned, pointing at Ye Zhen in surprise, "How can you....."

"Just building up momentum before the fight, this is what Lord Yang said yourself!" Ye Zhen directly interrupted Yang Ben.

Yang Ben's expression froze, suddenly feeling as if he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

He had just taken a small advantage, using words to ridicule Ye Zhen, only to find out he had dug his own grave!

His Divine Soul preparations were just to play it safe.

While Ye Zhen now had six bodies even he couldn't distinguish, it would consume at least three breaths of his time once the fight started!

Time is precious, and one can imagine how regretful Yang Ben felt at this moment!

"Lord Yang, are you ready? If you're not ready, feel free to continue!" As he spoke, the six Ye Zhen in the sky suddenly crisscrossed and began exchanging positions.

This movement made even the slight feeling Yang Ben had completely disappear!

Moreover, as Ye Zhen continuously exchanged positions with the six figures, they kept widening the distance, making it increasingly difficult to discern the True Body later on!

In a moment, Yang Ben made up his mind; he couldn't wait any longer!

"Everyone, start counting, the battle begins!"

Almost right as Yang Ben's words fell, a spiritual light emerged atop Great Sage Jinghai and Grand Island Lord Yin Yi's heads, indicating number one!

Unexpectedly, as his words landed, Ye Zhen's six figures rapidly retreated in six different directions, and Yang Ben didn't immediately pursue!

A mass of purple-red brilliance suddenly shot out from behind Yang Ben's head. In an instant, the soul artifact's unique and unrivaled aura spread out, causing the Establishment Kings below to feel a tightness behind their heads, as if a blade was hanging overhead!

The pupils of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea also shrank abruptly. "Right off the bat, he's using his most powerful soul artifact!"

The purple-red brilliance spread before Yang Ben, revealing within it a delicately patterned purple bell. An invisible giant hand of spiritual power suddenly grasped this bell, which was radiating a powerful aura and was incredibly exquisite!

A gentle shake!

Whizz!

A mass of purple-red flames unexpectedly flew out from the center of the bell, speeding toward one of Ye Zhen's avatars rapidly retreating, like a heavenly fire meteor!

Since the power of the divine soul couldn't distinguish the true identities of Ye Zhen's six avatars, he could only use the simplest method!

The next moment, Yang Ben's figure flickered, soaring to pursue the rapidly retreating figure of Ye Zhen, shaking the purple bell quickly in his hand as he chased.

The shaking speed of the purple bell was extremely fast. In almost an instant, five large masses of purple-red flames flew out of the purple bell, each like a heavenly fire meteor, chasing one of Ye Zhen's six rapidly retreating avatars!

The six purple flames swept through the air, burning it with a hissing sound, and at this moment, it seemed as if the entire sky was ignited in flames.

The power of Yang Ben's soul artifact was evident, showing his intense killing intent toward Ye Zhen!

Not to mention a direct hit, even if Ye Zhen was merely brushed by the purple flames, he would immediately be reduced to ashes!

On the ground, Liao Feibai's slender fingers locked tightly together, twisting in anxiety.

At the same instant, the spiritual energies counted above the heads of the Great Saint of Jinghai and Yin Yi increased to two!

Bang bang bang bang!

The sound of Mirage Avatars shattering echoed continuously!

After shattering four Mirage Avatars in a row, Yang Ben's demeanor became very excited. His gaze was fixed on the remaining two Mirage Avatars, and the bell in his hand shook again.

He didn't care which of the remaining two figures was the real Ye Zhen; with his ample spiritual power, he could afford to waste it!

In an instant, more than ten purple flames burst from the bell, under Yang Ben's control, bombarding the two remaining illusions from all directions like a barrage.

In a flash, the last illusion abruptly vanished!

Ye Zhen's true body was discovered!

At this moment, five purple flames came rushing at Ye Zhen's true body from the left, right, above, below, and behind!

At this moment, Ye Zhen's palms were sweaty from anxiety.

No one knew if his Mirage Body Method would be effective against the soul artifact level attack; if it wasn't, he would really be reduced to ashes!

Two enormous spirit wings emerged from behind Ye Zhen and flashed suddenly!

Ye Zhen activated his long-unused Silver Line Flash once again!

The innate ability of the demon beasts was the most powerful, improving with cultivation.

Ye Zhen's Silver Line Flash, obtained from the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, was most suitable for ultra-fast short-distance movement. However, previously, as Ye Zhen's cultivation increased, the Silver Line Flash covered a distance of over a thousand meters in one move, which was far from enough.

The activation of Silver Line Flash required a bit of time, yet it could only sweep across a distance of just over a thousand meters quickly. It was insufficient for escaping from Establishment Kings.

Therefore, Ye Zhen hadn't used it for a long time!

But now, it was just perfect!

Ye Zhen only needed to break free from the surrounding purple flames group.

Swipe!

A flash of red brilliance passed through the sky, and Ye Zhen's figure suddenly flashed out of the encirclement of the five purple flames.

But that wasn't the important part; the important thing was that the five purple flames didn't pursue Ye Zhen like shadows.

Instead, they flew straight in different directions as if they had lost their target.

Seeing this situation, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The Mirage Body Method made it impossible for enemies to use divine soul to lock onto the aura; even when facing Dao Realm experts, even in front of soul artifacts, it was effective!

However, upon reflection, Ye Zhen's Mirage Martial Meridian was refined using the mirage energy inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl. He did not even know how potent the mirage energy in the Mirage Dragon Pearl could be.

If it wasn't effective, that would be abnormal!

Yang Ben's expression suddenly froze. At this point, he finally understood the astonishment of the Third Housekeeper Miao Tong before his death.

Divine soul cannot lock on!

The divine soul aura left in those five purple flames could not lock onto Ye Zhen's aura. What kind of madness is this?

This was a low grade soul artifact!

With a flick of his divine sense, fire spewed out from behind Yang Ben, turning into an illusion as he pursued Ye Zhen!

Almost at the same moment, exclamations from the Yin Yang Island martial artists erupted below, including shouts from the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi of Yin Yang Island!

On the ground, there was a sudden swell of chaos and unrest! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
