Chapter 419 389: Ghost-slaying Sword Reawakens—Take My Backstab!
A wisp of pure golden Dragon Soul hovered in a gaseous form, caught in Chu Yi's hand.
"Such a dense soul. Just this small piece equates to the volume of souls I've absorbed over a million times."
Chu Yi's golden eyes flickered, taking out a broken sword from the Underworld Hall. Under the infusion of massive souls time and time again, the sealed Ghost-slaying Sword gradually restored.
"With this Dragon Soul, I can use the Ghost-slaying Sword."
The Dragon Soul let out an unwilling roar, predicting its sacrificial fate, it tried to escape from Chu Yi's palm frantically but was still grasped.
The next moment.
The Ghost-slaying Sword flashed a dark soul light, swallowing the Dragon Soul, finally causing a qualitative change.
Clang!
The sword, five feet long, shrouded in a mist of thousands of piled skulls, boiling and rolling white bones, the void around it couldn't bear the status of this Underworld Divine Artifact, bursting into countless void cracks.
The Ghost-slaying Sword, primarily for slaughter and conquest.
"What a fierce sword."
Chu Yi smiled, turning his hand, the Ghost-slaying Sword condensed into a flash of light, transforming into a dark long sword, its blade inlaid with bright jade and jewels, resembling a brilliantly resplendent summer night sky.
Wisps of soul threads wound around the sword, twisting and writhing like living creatures, entwining around Chu Yi, temporarily elevating his status, intensifying his already terrifying stature, aiming to breach the blockade of this Ice Dragon world.
Power of the World!
The Ghost-slaying Sword harnessed the Power of the World within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, directly channeling it into Chu Yi.
The original Yama King stance was only limited to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
But now, Chu Yi could use the Yama King stance in the outside world as well.
This meant Chu Yi didn't have to contest with the Ice Dragon King for the authority of the Ice Dragon World, he could directly confront him, saving a lot of time.
"One Dragon God Guard has already yielded so much for me, what about the other nine, or the Ice Dragon King?"
"Oh, here comes another one."
Chu Yi was elated, transforming perfectly into Yuan Batian, dispersing the gray mist covering this domain.
Not far away.
A Dragon God Guard with purple hair and dragon horns piloted a heavy mech about fifty to sixty meters tall, locking onto the mist, vigilantly on high alert.
His name was Zichuan, unlike Yuan Batian who achieved sanctification with his body, he followed the Mechanical Deity path, integrating the near-immortal Life Force of the Dragonfolk with machinery, the mech being his true body.
Boom!
"Zichuan, you came just in time, help me hold him back!"
The voice of his friend Yuan Batian echoed.
The next moment, amidst the dissipating mist, an Undying Bird shot out, carrying a stream of fire, soaring above Zichuan.
Whish! Whish! Whish!
Thousands of missiles fired in volleys, the sky inundated with destruction lasers forming a network, yet the Undying Bird escaped.
"What Dragon God Guard, just a bunch of fools, hahahaha... Your Emperor shall leave first!"
"Damn it!"
Zichuan was about to pursue but was stopped by Yuan Batian:
"Zichuan, quickly let me in, I can't catch up to him! Don't let him escape! This outsider also holds a million Dragonfolk hostage, I dare not act recklessly!"
"What?! Alright, my newly developed mech technique can burst tenfold speed, should be able to block him."
Upon hearing.
The perfectly transformed Chu Yi was delighted, swaggering onto the mech cabin door, making his way into the cockpit.
It is well known that people have the most patience when doing bad deeds.
Zichuan was in a cylindrical cockpit, filled with special liquid, standing as if sleeping, with surges of powerful currents flowing through him, integrating with the mech, providing stance energy.
"Huh, Batian, where's the intruder?"
Crack!
Just as Zichuan was puzzled, the Temporal Domain smashed out, an ominous light divine sword infused with the Power of the World pierced through his back, tearing his temporary Radiant Moon stance and driving into his heart.
"You're not Yuan Batian!"
Zichuan opened his dragon eyes, only to angrily utter one sentence before being swallowed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, thoroughly suppressed.
"Hahaha, becoming the first sacrifice under my sword is your honor."
Chu Yi sneered, perfectly transforming into Zichuan, initiating time reversal, restoring the fragmented cockpit.
Perfect transformation not only replicates the opponent's abilities and memories but also replaces the opponent's karmic ties, removing the opponent from this world, untraceable by anyone.
"I, Zichuan, am a mech master."
"I am pursuing the intruder to protect my homeland."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, steering the mech and erecting a protective shield, turning into a streak of lightning, rushing to seek aid from the nearest Dragon God Guard.
Meanwhile, every conspiracy and stratagem was broadcast in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's livestream.
"Don't trust him, Lord Zichuan, he's the intruder in disguise!"
"Lord Zichuan, please save us!"
"Boohoo..."
The Dragonfolk in the city held hope once Zichuan appeared.
But this battle ended in a flash, even faster than Yuan Batian's!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mech Master Zichuan died in a despicable sneak attack, infuriating many Dragonfolk to faint.
Outsider!!
Yet, Chu Yi's concubines were filled with pride.
Ignoring Ji Xuexin for the moment.
Ji Xuexin adored Chu Yi mindlessly, even appreciating the perfect handsomeness of the sneak attack, imagining the subsequent vicious backstab, cheeks blushing.
Nian Ci, however, thought the act was too rough, suggesting she, the strongest Outsider of Dragon Martial, give a lesson on backstabbing next time.
...
The Dragon King's Palace.
"Hmm?"
The Ice Dragon King suddenly opened its dragon eyes, cold and green, even making the snowflakes outside the Dragon King's Palace colder.
Yuan Batian had fallen.
It controlled the Ice Dragon World, with all causality covered, every grass and tree within its perception, the Ten Great Dragon God Guards had its navigation map.
Yet the intruder, at times, vanished from its perception, seemingly shielded, causing the Dragon God Guards to scatter on pursuit.
"It is the Gray Mist Authority of the Mother of Secrets."
The Ice Dragon King, having seen many deities, immediately saw through the essence of the gray mist.
From its viewpoint, Yuan Batian chased Chu Yi, Zichuan later assisted in battle, Chu Yi fought two at once, Yuan Batian perished, Zichuan retreated in defeat.
It remained silent, having a sense that something was amiss, but causally, there was no issue.
Wait,
how did it mobilize the Ten Great Dragon God Guards upon rebirth, weren't they supposed to guard it?
And why bestow a drop of legendary true blood, slowing its own progress.
"Fate!"
It was quite angry, having reborn anew, defying the predetermined fate, parts of its authority were shielded, even if facts were distorted and altered, it wouldn't detect.
Equivalent to being unwittingly controlled as a puppet by fate, performing foolish acts, managed by others.
Immediately, it ordered the Ten Great Dragon God Guards to return.
Swish——
Another Dragon God Guard fell.
The Ice Dragon King's face was grim.
...
Boom!
On the glacial island, Chu Yi withdrew the Ghost-slaying Sword, at his feet was the corpse of a decapitated Giant Dragon, its head as huge as a mountain, extracted by Chu Yi as material.
The Power of the World infused, a swing of the sword, and a whole Ten Thousand Souls Ridge smashed down, effortlessly cutting through, ecstatic satisfaction.
After taking down the third Dragon God Guard, Chu Yi, still disguised as Zichuan, hid inside the cockpit, dissipating the gray mist, allowing an Undying Bird to carry Chu Yi's scent and fly out.
