Chapter 1015: The Dragon Alliance Sets Up Camp
At the moment when the first purple flowing flame blasted out of the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell, the spirit lights above the heads of the Great Saint of Jinghai and Grand Island Lord Yin Yi simultaneously turned into thirty beams!
"Thirty breaths, time's up!" The Great Saint of Jinghai almost roared out these words.
Before the words could be fully spoken, the already prepared Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and Sea-Breaking Great Saint simultaneously rushed out, and the Overturning Sea Command Flag suddenly transformed into a stream of light, charging towards Ye Zhen!
The Overturning Sea Command Flag was fast, but the fastest was the black thread-like brilliance that shot out like lightning from the chest of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, covering the entire sky almost instantaneously.
It swiftly wound around the series of purple flowing flames blasting towards Ye Zhen!
The speed of each purple flowing flame sharply decreased under the entanglement of the black threads, suddenly exploding into a mass, perishing together with the black threads!
However, even if the actions of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and Great Sage of the Overturning Sea were fast, they were still a bit too slow!
Yang Ben, in the final moment, in the circumstances that the time was just right, unleashed ten consecutive purple flowing flames, intending to execute Ye Zhen decisively!
Among the ten purple flowing flames, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint intercepted five of them!
At the moment the Overturning Sea Command Flag flew over, it was already too late; two of the purple flowing flames had already completely engulfed Ye Zhen, and the Overturning Sea Command Flag only swept up the remaining three purple flowing flames!
"Fourth Brother!"
The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea uttered a world-shattering cry of grief, immediately overshadowing the cries of over a thousand martial artists from Yin Yang Island on the ground!
This cry of grief caused Liao Feibai's beautiful face to turn pale suddenly, and her delicate body to sway as if it would fall!
At the same moment, Yang Ben wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, looking at the mass of firelight, his expression finally relaxed!
At last, in the final moment, he eliminated Ye Zhen!
Otherwise, losing today's battle was trivial, but losing face was a big deal!
Subsequently, the sounds of the cries from the martial artists of Yin Yang Island below reached Yang Ben's ears.
Yang Ben glanced around and wore a slightly desolate expression!
In sheer necessity before, he had used the other killing move of his low-grade soul artifact, the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell, the Soul-Rending Bell Sound.
The Soul-Rending Bell Sound is a killing move he rarely uses; it is a peculiar form of divine soul attack, and also a range attack that spares neither friend nor foe!
As long as they are within the range of the Soul-Rending Bell Sound, everyone will suffer from the attack, though the power varies greatly depending on distance!
However, it is extremely sharp!
Previously, in his confrontations with multiple Dao Entrance Realm and half-step Dao Realm experts, several times, it was with this Soul-Rending Bell Sound that he managed to survive.
He even relied on this Soul-Rending Bell Sound to kill a half-step Dao Realm expert and severely wound a Dao Entrance Realm expert!
And at the last moment, due to the distance factors, to ensure the power of the Soul-Rending Bell Sound, Yang Ben also injected a mouthful of Origin Essence Blood to enhance the power of the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell!
For Ye Zhen, the effect was very satisfying!
It made him very delighted and thrilled!
However, upon seeing the bodies of Yin Yang Island's martial artists lying behind the Grand Hall Master Yin Yi below, and the elite members of Yin Yang Island clutching their heads and screaming, Yang Ben was not quite so comfortable!
It was a piercing pain!
With a quick glance, due to that Soul-Rending Bell Sound, more than two hundred Vein Forging Realm martial artists of Yin Yang Island fell dead on the spot, and this was with the critical moment protection of some people by Grand Island Lord Yin Yi.
Among the survivors, ninety percent were injured, with more than one-third severely injured, especially with severe injuries to their divine souls!
Judging by their conditions, it would take several years for them to recover properly!
In other words, this single strike alone had weakened Yin Yang Island's power by nearly half for the next three to four years.
Of course, with the Yin Yang Saints overseeing, generally, no one would dare to provoke Yin Yang Island.
"This loss is terrible, going to get scolded by big brother again!" With a silent sigh, Yang Ben's gaze became incomparably sharp,
"All of this is that bastard Zhen Hai's fault!" Yang Ben's gaze turned towards Ye Zhen, who was blasted by the purple flowing flames.
He wanted to know, under his deadly strike, how much of Ye Zhen's Innate Divine Soul could still remain!
Although his purple flowing flames were not divine soul attacks, they still inflicted some damage on the divine soul power.
If he could shatter more than thirty percent of Ye Zhen's Innate Divine Soul, then there would not even be any significance in seeking a suitable body for a soul transfer!
After a soul transfer, both the cultivation and the Innate Divine Soul itself would suffer significant losses, especially considering the Innate Divine Soul had already been severely damaged before a soul transfer!
As for Ye Zhen's body?
Yang Ben didn't need to think about it, it must have already turned to ashes.
Yet, when Yang Ben withdrew his grief-laden gaze from the scattered corpses and looked over, his expression suddenly froze!
Immediately, he bellowed hysterically, "How is this possible? How can Zhen Hai still be alive? How is it possible?"
In the distance, in the huge pit created by the purple flowing flames blasting Ye Zhen to the ground, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was pouring various healing pills into Ye Zhen's mouth.
Waves of cool Water Spiritual Power covered Ye Zhen's body, charred black like coal, dispelling the fire poison within him!
At this moment, Liao Feibai had already rushed over, joyfully pulling up Ye Zhen's hand and cheering, "Junior Brother, you're alive, you're alive!"
"How... Senior Sister? You want me to..."
Before Ye Zhen could finish his words, his mouth was immediately stuffed with a pill by Liao Feibai.
"How could this be...he's still alive?" Grand Island Lord Yin Yi was also taken aback by Ye Zhen's voice.
In the last strike, Yang Ben didn't hesitate to consume Origin Essence Blood to strengthen the power of the Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell, causing over two hundred elite martial artists of Yin Yang Island to be buried with Ye Zhen, yet unexpectedly, Ye Zhen was still alive!
Although Ye Zhen looked terribly miserable at the moment!
Very miserable indeed, but still alive!
"Yin Island... Lord, I'm still alive, I won! Yang Ben, hand over... the antidote!" Ye Zhen said with some difficulty!
"Aren't you concerned for your life? Quickly suppress the fire poison inside your body!" The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea gave Ye Zhen a glare!
Hearing Ye Zhen's voice, Yang Ben's aged face instantly turned a deep gray, and his shoulders slumped, he drifted down from the sky dejectedly.
However, Yang Ben did not rush to hand over the antidote; instead, he turned his gaze towards Grand Island Lord Yin Yi, with a seemingly inquisitive look in his eyes.
Yin Yi subtly shook his head, sighed lightly, and then stopped concerning himself with Yang Ben, swiftly moving to aid the injured from Yin Yang Island.
"Lord Yang, please hand over the antidote as promised!" The Great Saint of Jinghai glanced at Ye Zhen, his expression somewhat complicated!
Ye Zhen was willing to fight so desperately and with such loyalty for his senior sister, which at least proved that the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was not mistaken about him, and they seemed not to have chosen the wrong person either!
"Antidote?" A peculiar smile suddenly appeared on Yang Ben's face, "Antidote, alright?"
The face of the Great Saint of Jinghai changed, "Lord Yang, you're not thinking of?"
"Dare I?"
Yang Ben suddenly looked at Liao Feibai with a playful expression and said, "I don't have an antidote, but I do have a recipe for detoxification, and it's very easy to make!"
"You don't? What is the recipe? Tell me?" Ye Zhen struggled to sit up and asked.
"This is the old man's exclusive secret recipe; I can only tell that senior sister of yours!" Speaking, Yang Ben glanced at Liao Feibai, "I will use divine soul telecommunication to you, and you will know it instantly!"
"Alright!" Liao Feibai glanced at Ye Zhen, biting his lip, and nodded gently!
In the next instant, faint divine soul waves fluctuated between Liao Feibai and Yang Ben. As soon as the divine soul waves rose, Liao Feibai's expression became a bit surprised.
Even shocked!
"Okay, I've already told you the detoxification method. As to whether it can detoxify, that's up to you! Hahaha...." Yang Ben laughed loudly a few times, gave Liao Feibai an extremely peculiar look, and then started treating the injured on Yin Yang Island with Grand Island Lord Yin Yi.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen became anxious, "You... what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? The old man should ask you what you mean! The antidote has already been given to her, what's the matter, you still want to pick a quarrel?" Yang Ben said extremely dissatisfied!
"But..."
"But what? Don't believe me, ask your senior sister?" Yang Ben chuckled again.
"Junior brother, he indeed told me the detoxification method. Let's go!" Liao Feibai said.
Although Ye Zhen was still somewhat doubtful, Liao Feibai said so, and Ye Zhen could only give up!
That said, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea supported Ye Zhen with the Overturning Sea Command Flag, continuously spurring the thick water spiritual power within the flag to heal Ye Zhen's injuries!
A few moments later, the Great Saint of Jinghai and the others took Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai into the sky at the same time, "Island Master Yin, Lord Yang, we disturbed you today, we shall meet again another day!"
"Farewell!"
"Everyone, the green mountains never change, and the green waters flow on, I will remember today's matter, and there will be generous repayment in the days to come!" Yin Yi didn't say much, but Yang Ben sneered a few times, his face full of ferocity!
Obviously, he didn't intend to let this matter end just like that!
"Lord Yang, rest assured, today's near-death experience was all thanks to Lord Yang. In the future, I, Ye Zhen, will surely repay!" Ye Zhen shouted aloud!
"Very well, I look forward to it!"
"Haha, Lord Yang, you should be careful. With my current cultivation at the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, it might not take a few years before my cultivation improves exponentially!
Hopefully, by then, Lord Yang's cultivation can also improve exponentially like mine! Otherwise, hehe..."
Ye Zhen didn't finish his last words, just a cold laugh, but the meaning was clear to Yang Ben!
In an instant, Yang Ben's face turned extremely gloomy, and even his expression became somewhat solemn!
Ye Zhen's last words hit him right in the heart.
It wouldn't take a few years; with the resources of Heavenly Wing Island, Ye Zhen's cultivation could surely improve exponentially, but what about him?
He, as an expert in the Dao Realm, how much could his cultivation improve?
Thinking of those inexplicable shackles, Yang Ben felt a wave of annoyance!
"Brother, today you slipped up! Since it has been determined that this Great Saint of Jinghai is a great enemy, a mortal enemy, from the beginning, you should have spared no cost and taken down this Great Saint of Jinghai, even if it meant hundreds of martial artists perished with him!
Only doing so at the last moment, you are truly merciful like a woman!"
The voice of Grand Island Lord Yin Yi sounded, making Yang Ben even more frustrated, "Big brother, who knew this kid was such a pervert, my Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell's Purple Flowing Flames, even a King at the Eight or Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm would be seriously injured if hit directly, yet this kid took two hits and didn't die!"
"It's already too late to discuss this now! What we need to think about is the future!" Grand Island Lord Yin Yi's gaze became somewhat distant!
"The future?" Yang Ben was stunned!
"Yes, don't you think this Great Saint of Jinghai, Ye Zhen, is a huge problem for us?" Yin Yi said.
Yang Ben was stunned, "Big brother, are you saying?"
"In the past, we yin and yang saints were at a disadvantage against the Sky Wing Three Saints, but if it came to a life-and-death struggle, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly against us!
In such a situation, our Yin Yang Island could compete with Heavenly Wing Island!
However, now with an additional Great Saint of Jinghai Ye Zhen, and this Great Saint of Jinghai Ye Zhen's potential is so enormous! Now, relying on the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm cultivation and tactics can annihilate the Seventh Stage of the Establishment Realm King, and even heavily injure the Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm King.
Moreover, in the face of your full-force attack, he can withstand thirty breaths and not die!
What about the future, when his cultivation breaks through to the Establishment Realm, and then crazily increases to the Second, Fourth, and Sixth Stage of the Establishment Realm, what will our Heavenly Wing Island do?"
"I'm afraid this Great Saint of Jinghai's cultivation won't need to advance to the Sixth or Seventh Stage of the Establishment Realm; as long as it reaches the Second or Third Stage Establishment, his combat power could pose a significant threat to both you and me!
By that time, we Yin Yang Saints might be utterly suppressed by the Sky Wing Four Saints! In the future, we might even die because of this kid!" Yin Yi's eyes were full of worry.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ben's expression became fiercely vicious, "Big brother, if this kid poses such a great threat, then we should figure out how to completely obliterate him before he grows!"
"Completely obliterate him? What means do you have?" Yin Yi asked.
Yang Ben pondered for a while and shook his head, "Big brother, it's difficult! This kid's cultivation is already so remarkable, and after this battle, Jinghai and others will surely protect him intensively, finding an opportunity is very difficult!"
"There will always be opportunities if you seek them out, but we must plan thoroughly. Meanwhile, you must completely follow my instructions!" Yin Yi stated.
Yang Ben's expression turned sharp, "Big brother, rest assured, as long as I can kill that bastard and vent this anger, I'll do whatever it takes!"
"Good, now, go arrange it immediately. I want to know everything about this kid in the shortest possible time, including his entire background and any information!"
........
As Ye Zhen recounted to the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and others how he survived Yang Ben's terrifying attacks, a gigantic Black Dragon Banner suddenly rose on a small island in the vast Outer Domain Dead Sea, shimmering with dazzling light in the sea breeze!
The Black Dragon Banner fluttered and unfurled with the sea breeze, appearing from afar like a Black Dragon lying there, rising and falling.
As soon as the Black Dragon Banner was raised, all the demon beasts within thousands of miles around lay dormant, not daring to utter a breath!
Even the sea surface within thousands of miles became calm, without waves.
If anyone knowledgeable saw it, they would recognize this as the Black Dragon Banner of the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe.
The place where the Black Dragon Banner rises is the dispatch place of the Dragon Alliance Leader!
In the center of the island, a large tent swirling with black mist began to rise slowly!
Soon, streams of light began to gather from all directions, rushing into the leader's tent one after another! (To be continued.
