Chapter 1100: Break the Shackles
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
In the other corner, the peculiar man with mud covering his body suddenly sank into the ground. Disappearing with him was half of the amount of the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. Six giant hands pressed down like imposing mountains that sent away the energy that could seal the entire sky.
The shining rivers crossing the sky moved like sparkling chains with sharp auras that attempted to wrap the imposing hands. Thunderclaps echoed while a lightning rod danced in the middle of the sky.
The beefy man had a large build and it was as tough as iron and steel. With the giant hammer in his hand, he grinned and stayed aside. He didn't want to join this battle, anyway.
The good-looking man frowned and looked at the six imposing hands disappearing into the ground. He sensed for a while and then said, "This man is dangerous."
"Da-ge, you can't hold him?" shouted the muscular man.
"He cultivates Earth power Upanishad and he knows the surroundings well. His energy and power Upanishad can mingle with the muddy pond well. It's hard to force him out." The handsome man shook his head. "It's hard to deal with this man. Yeah, the warriors that come to the ancient continent this time are all top warriors of the big star areas."
"Da-ge, how about those Hundred Kalpa Soul Threads?" the brawny man grinned.
There were still many crystal clear Hundred Kalpa Soul Threads covering the muddy pond, even after the mud statue had taken half. Perhaps it was why the handsome man didn't murder Shang Ying Yue.
The remaining amount of the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread was glowing faintly. Shang Ying Yue was standing there with an icy countenance.
Shang Ying Yue had a cold face as she was too indignant. She hated that she couldn't kill all the people here.
She had found the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan first. But Shi Yan and Sha Zhao had bothered her too much. Shi Yan took a part of the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread and the mud statue took half of the remaining. There weren't many threads lying there. And the two mysterious brothers were gazing at them.
Shang Ying Yue was so angry that she wanted to spit blood.
The good-looking man rubbed his chin. He pondered for a while and then guffawed, "We will take half of them."
The man holding the massive hammer was surprised.
Shang Ying Yue was also astounded.
"We will take half. Everyone who sees it should receive a share of it. Leave some for her," said the man with a smile.
The muscular man was surprised, but he didn't argue. He seemed annoyed, but he walked over to take half of the remaining Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. Then, he turned to the other man, "Da-ge?"
"Let's go." The handsome man's eyes drilled at Shang Ying Yue. He said, "I'm Wu Feng. Please send my regards to your father. Tell him I miss him."
Then, he and the muscular man and left.
"Wu Feng... Wu Feng..." Shang Ying Yue was dumbstruck. She furrowed her bold brows and thought for a while. She discolored as if she recalled something. She looked fearful, indeed.
------------------------------
"Da-ge, who is she? We could have killed her and taken all the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. It's not your style."
After they left, Wu Bai, the younger brother, shouted at his brother.
"If we killed her, we would receive a lot of trouble later. We'd better stay away from trouble." The handsome man called Wu Feng felt funny.
"Who is she?"
"Shang Ying Yue."
"Never heard before."
"Kid, you've been grounded to cultivate year round, so you don't know many things. Her father cultivates Fate power Upanishad. He can touch the spiderweb of fate, which is really magical. Her mother also has a strong background. When I was out to experience, her father used to help me once. I owe him."
"Da-ge was it the time you got stuck in Original God Realm and couldn't break into Ethereal God Realm. He guided you that time?"
"Yeah, that time."
"Oh, you owe them a favor then. No wonder why you didn't kill her."
-------------------------
After Shang Ying Yue had stashed away the leftover Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread, her cold face got less tense. She took a deep breath and pondered for a while. She took out a rhombus mirror, which was made of the same material as the rhombus crystals she used to collect the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. This mirror seemed to be able to contact the other crystals.
A flow of icy breath was spread on the mirror. A white-metal halo expanded and projected something blurry.
She pulled the mirror close to her face to see. Her beautiful eyes brightened as she sneered. "Well well well, you're having bad luck that you're undergoing the Ethereal Kalpa at this moment."
Just like a cold light, she quietly flew out of this place and headed in Shi Yan's direction. The murderous aura diffused from her soft body.
One hour later.
Shang Ying Yue wore a long water blue dress. Her cold face gazed at a murky puddle under her feet. She made an ice cube to be her foothold so she didn't need to step on the dirty water.
Her picturesque brows twitched. A white ring on her wrist shook for a while. Then, many ice sheets were generated as thin as a blade. They were gloomy and cold with flashes of lightning. All of a sudden, they plunged down to the muddy pond.
Swoosh!
A barrier exploded. An ice blade was smashed and it caused an explosion.
There was a barrier!
Shang Ying Yue's eyes sparkled. More feather-thin icy blades appeared. They all thrust into the ground with a chilling aura.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless thunderbolts exploded. Under her energy, they all got underground and stirred up the entire area.
Deep underground, Shi Yan was covered inside a big chunk of dried mud. He shivered all of a sudden.
The co-soul flew out of his soul altar and floated up over the muddy puddle.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The co-soul looked like a peculiar spirit flame. It was a multicolor fireball with magnificent life energy fluctuation.
Abruptly, scorching flames flew out and moved in the sky, making a seething sea of fire. The fire of the Origin burned all the wetland and mud around, causing them to crack. The thick earth and heaven energy of the ancient continent had become the body of that flame. It all congregated in a significant amount.
Within seconds, the water-like dense earth and heaven energy gathered and created a misty body that covered the flaming soul.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The block of energy as big as half a leaf fan with incredibly dense energy flowed towards Shang Ying Yue.
Lightning and the blocks of energy impacted and exploded. The ground was bombarded by shockwaves of the impacts.
Shang Ying Yue was frightened.
The flaming soul that had flown out of Shi Yan's body could use the energy of this ancient continent at ease. With this power, it could create different violent attacks that had made Shang Ying Yue struggle a lot.
Shang Ying Yue suddenly felt wrong: this man was the owner of the ancient continent!
If he wasn't the Master of the ancient continent, he wouldn't be able to mobilize the energy of the ancient continent and attack anyone as he pleased like this, right?
Her fear made Shi Yan excited in thrill.
His co-soul was the fused form of the Origin and the heaven flames. It was the core of Grace Mainland and Grace Mainland was one of the ancient continents, which came from the same origin as this ancient continent called Desolate.
It was the reason why when his co-soul got out of his body, it had also got rid of the invisible shackles and was able to control the immense energy of this area. The co-soul could use the energy in his area to create mighty attacks and lock Shang Ying Yue's commotion.
Without the restraint of the body, Shi Yan let his co-soul fly out. It felt like a blind man had just got his sight back.
When the host soul and the co-soul were still in his body, he couldn't sense the life energy around. It was like an invisible barrier that restricted him from using his Soul Consciousness to detect the others' commotions.
—— It was a tough headache that everyone entered the ancient continent had to face.
However, when his co-soul detached from his body, it seemed to break those shackles. It seemed like the co-soul was part of this ancient continent. Through the co-soul, he could simply sense the commotion of the surrounding ten thousand miles.
The ten thousand miles around still consisted of immense swamps with many incredible existences. It wasn't like what he had observed before. Those life energy fluctuations were hiding in many corners or gathering in hordes. Shi Yan sensed for a while and had a conclusion: A part of warriors who had entered this ancient continent had joined hands!
This finding astounded him. As they were all outstanding Ethereal God Realm warriors of the great star areas, facing even one was already a headache. If they joined hands, it would be a huge struggle for him.
Boom!
An earth and heaven energy punch, which was one thousand meters big, forcefully struck Shang Ying Yue and smashed her lightning power.
The energy of the co-soul was reduced. Shi Yan immediately knew that the co-soul couldn't control the earth and heaven energy endlessly. It required Soul Consciousness and Essence Qi of the soul. Shi Yan knew that he couldn't use the relationship between the co-soul and the ancient continent to be invincible.
"Don't be noisy anymore! Are you done yet?" The co-soul released the furious soul energy and focused on Shang Ying Yue.
"I am noisy? It's you who is causing me trouble!" Shang Ying Yue said with a cold countenance. "You took the Guiding Fruit that belongs to us. You peeped on me when I was in the pond. You robbed my Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. Who is making noise here?"
"Your father shoved the Guiding Fruit at me. I heard you screaming so I came to check your situation. I was worried that something bad would happen to you. Don't you see that? Why did I take your Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread? If you didn't let Sha Zhao know about my whereabouts, should I have risked my life against him? You were right in everything that happened? What kind of logic is that?"
Shi Yan took a deep breath and then said, "This is the last time I will remind you. The experts around here are joining hands. Only death awaits you and me. Moreover, a team is heading to us. Our fighting will be a prominent landmark to guide them. If you don't want to die, please stay quiet!"
"Someone is coming?" Shang Ying Yue smiled faintly and mocked. "Don't tell me you can sense the surroundings. As far as I know, no one could sense the auras of the experts on this planet. Can you do that? What kind of realm do you have?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Shi Yan sent her the message impatiently. "Around five hundred miles away, someone is coming. If we don't fight, they can't locate us. You can go there to check. I need to cultivate more so I'll stay here."
Then, his co-soul slowly lowered and disappeared into the muddy puddle.
Shang Ying Yue hesitated for a while. She snorted and left to check his information.
