King of Assassins

Chapter 464: Soul Chains

Views:

The twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons are invisible and specialize in feeding on the souls of cultivators. These twelve Heavenly Demons have reached the top level of Nascent Soul after being sacrificed and refined by the powerful masters of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Ordinary soul-based defensive spells and magical weapons are useless in front of the Twelve Mysterious Heavenly Demons.

Under normal circumstances, a Xuandu Heavenly Demon can easily kill a Yuanying. Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons form the Xuandu Great Formation, and jointly activate the Soul-Snatching Hand to pose a certain threat to the Mahayana strongmen.

The Taoist Master Huashen could not withstand the grab of the Twelve Mysterious Heavenly Demons.

Relying on the Heavenly Demon Order, Xue Tiejun killed two powerful enemies who had reached the level of God Transformation, and thus became famous in Dongxuanzhou.

It’s just that outsiders don’t know his abilities, let alone the Heavenly Demon Order.

Holding the Heavenly Demon Order, Xue Tiejun could see the huge black figure of the Twelve Mysterious Capital Heavenly Demons. The Heavenly Demon's face was blurred, with only two black hole-like eyes emitting a deep light.

The twelve Xuandu demons floated in the air, and their huge figures covered an area of hundreds of feet in radius.

Yuan Bao and Shui Qingbo were also enveloped by the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons. Normally, if they were enveloped by the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons, the two Nascent Souls would also be in danger.

However, the Five Elements Wheel on Yuanbao's body emitted a five-colored light wheel, which blocked all the soul-eating and soul-stealing power of the Heavenly Demon.

Xue Tiejun was a little surprised. The magic spell stimulated by the five elements' vitality was extremely powerful, but it did not protect the changes in the soul. This was also the flaw of the five elements magic spell.

In the five-colored light wheel stimulated by Yuanbao, countless tiny crystal lights appeared and disappeared. These tiny crystal lights carried a strange magnetic force and blocked the soul-stealing power of the demon.

Magnetic divine light

Xue Tiejun recognized that Yuanbao was controlling magic, and that the Yuanci Divine Light was a transformation that could resist the demons from corroding the soul. However, he did not care, and only waited to kill Gao Xuan first, break the Five Elements Yuanci Divine Light, and then the girl's Nascent Soul would be easily captured.

Under the control of Xue Tiejun's spiritual consciousness, the twelve Xuandu demons reached into Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness with twenty-four huge claws and grabbed him suddenly.

The Nascent Soul formed by Gao Xuan was directly grabbed out by the Soul-Capture Hand.

The Nascent Soul is about a foot tall and looks exactly like Gao Xuan, except that it has a sense of childlike innocence. Its entire body is bright and clear, and it is transparent inside and out.

Everyone from the Xuanhuang Sect saw Gao Xuan’s Nascent Soul, and many of them were amazed.

Such a Nascent Soul with such pure aura and bright divine light should be a ninth-level Nascent Soul, or even a super-level Nascent Soul.

At the same Nascent Soul level, different levels of Nascent Soul actually represent the degree of compatibility with the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

The higher the level, the stronger the vitality that the Nascent Soul can control, the higher the power it possesses, and the broader and more far-reaching the path of cultivation will be.

Although the people of Xuanhuang Sect were knowledgeable and experienced, this was the first time they had seen such a high-level Nascent Soul.

As for Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul level, as long as he practices step by step, he will naturally be able to reach the Spirit Transformation realm.

Before the twenty-four huge black claws could exert their power, Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul was torn to pieces.

The Nascent Soul is the condensation of a cultivator's spiritual consciousness, magical power, and soul. It can be seen as a special form of Dharma, used to carry the soul and control the endless vital energy between heaven and earth.

The Yuanying was torn apart, which was a heavy blow to Yuanying Zhenjun. But it was not enough to kill the Yuanying. The soul was the foundation of the Yuanying. As long as the soul was not destroyed, Yuanying Zhenjun still had a chance to condense the Yuanying again.

However, Gao Xuan's Yuanying was so weak that it collapsed at the first blow. This made Xue Tiejun disdainful again. This mysterious man was just like this.

Many masters of the Xuanhuang Sect were surprised and regretful. They were surprised that such a powerful Yuanying could not resist the soul-stealing hand of the demon. They were regretful that such a high-level Yuanying was destroyed.

If we can capture the Nascent Soul alive, it will be the best material for refining tools and pills. Unfortunately, this is unlikely.

Everyone knew this was impossible. Even though the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons could easily kill Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul, if they were to go up as a group, they would not be able to drag Gao Xuan's Nascent Soul out.

Even Xue Tiejun doesn't have this ability. This is a magical power unique to the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only the Heavenly Demon is the best at manipulating the soul. Other cultivators, powerful beasts, and spirit birds are no match for the Heavenly Demon in this regard.

The Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons continued to exert their strength, and twenty-four soul-grabbing hands grabbed towards the depths of Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness.

The cultivator's sea of consciousness is deep and vast, and it is almost impossible for an intruder to find the cultivator's soul hidden deep in the sea of consciousness. This is also the most wonderful thing about the soul.

The twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons had innate magical powers that allowed them to capture the soul. The twenty-four invisible claws were like a terrifying giant net that instantly captured the soul deep in Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness.

The twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demon Soul-Capture Hands exerted force at the same time and once again forcibly grabbed Gao Xuan's soul out of his sea of consciousness.

Gao Xuan didn't expect that the Twelve Mysterious Demons were so domineering. The White Tiger Perfect Golden Body he practiced was perfect and flawless. In theory, it should be enough to resist the invisible demons such as the Yin Demon and the Heavenly Demon.

However, the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons completely ignored the White Tiger's perfect golden body. This method was completely a special magical power.

Then, many cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect who had opened their Midnight Spirit Eyes saw Gao Xuan’s soul.

The Midnight Eyes are the Xuanhuang Sect's unique skill, which can see through the darkness and all invisible and sneaky things. It is precisely because of this secret method that their ancestors were able to subdue the Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons.

Gao Xuan’s soul is clearly visible in the twenty-four huge translucent black claws.

However, Gao Xuan’s soul was actually wearing a set of gorgeous and exquisite dark gold armor.

This style of armor is completely different from the protective robes and Taoist robes in the world of cultivators. It is a bit like the armor used by mortals.

Even though many cultivators thought this armor was a little strange, they could see that the lines of the armor were smooth and beautiful, and the details were exquisitely designed. The completely enclosed black gold armor exuded an extreme beauty.

Many cultivators were shocked, even Xue Tiejun's eyes were full of surprise.

The armor was strange and gorgeous, and it might be a unique magical weapon. But no one had ever seen a soul that could be completely integrated with a magical weapon.

Refining tools and alchemy uses the soul of the cultivator as a special material to enhance spirituality. Once the soul merges with external objects, it can no longer maintain its purity. This is a taboo for cultivators.

Powerful cultivators can refine magical artifacts and arm their own souls, but magical artifacts are ultimately external objects.

The Soul-stealing Hand of the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons specifically targets the soul. Even if the soul is protected by a magic weapon, the Soul-stealing Hand can only capture the soul and will not take out the magic weapon that protects the soul.

If the Soul-Catching Hand cannot break the protection of the artifact, it will not be able to capture the soul of the cultivator.

Therefore, many practitioners were puzzled by the scene before them.

The Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons were not so intelligent. They tried to capture Gao Xuan's soul, but they could not do anything to him through the dark gold armor transformed from the mechanical battle cicada.

This puzzled the Twelve Xuandu Demons, as they had never encountered such a situation before.

In an instant, it was Xue Tiejun who reacted the fastest. Gao Xuan's strange state of soul made him realize that the situation was not good, and he did not hesitate to use the ultimate move of the Twelve Mysterious Capital Heavenly Demon Orders: the God-Destroying Whirlpool

Under Xue Tiejun's urging, the twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons spun at high speed, turning into a huge black vortex. The center of the vortex was Gao Xuan.

The God-Destroying Whirlpool can instantly increase the power of the Twelve Mysterious Capitals Heavenly Demon Soul-Searching Hands by a hundred times. It is also the most vicious and unique skill of the Heavenly Demon Order.

If the God-Destroying Vortex is triggered once, the Twelve Mysterious Capital Heavenly Demons will be severely injured, and it will take hundreds of years for them to recover.

During this period of time, the Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons were in a weak state and were unable to fight against the enemy at all.

Xue Tiejun found that Gao Xuan's soul was too strange, which gave him a bad premonition, so he activated the Heavenly Demon Order at all costs.

When the God-Destroying Vortex appeared, many Xuanhuang Sect practitioners who were watching the battle could not bear it, and many of them let out miserable screams.

The terrifying god-destroying vortex, even if they only used the Midnight Spirit Eyes to observe it, their souls and spirits suffered varying degrees of damage.

Many cultivators below the Jindan stage had blood gushing out of their eyes and passed out on the spot.

Even the Jindan cultivators turned pale and quickly closed their eyes, not daring to look again.

The three Yuanyings headed by Huang Tao also changed their expressions slightly. For them, looking directly at the God-Destroying Vortex was also very strenuous. It seemed that their souls would be sucked out by the God-Destroying Vortex at any time.

However, such a powerful secret method may not be seen once in a lifetime. For cultivators, this is a very precious opportunity.

Not only can you witness the power of the ultimate secret technique, but you can also test your own spiritual cultivation.

Xue Tiejun noticed the situation of his disciples and sneered in his heart, what a bunch of trash.

The God-Destroying Whirlpool cast by the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons was completely aimed at Gao Xuan, and Yuan Bao and Shui Qingbo, who were close to Gao Xuan, were not affected. A group of people couldn't stand it just by looking at the God-Destroying Whirlpool. They were really incompetent.

However, even the soul of a great master would be shredded by this blow. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he must die!

Xue Tiejun was very confident about this, the power of the God-Destroying Whirlpool was too terrifying. The senior of the sect had used this move to kill a Mahayana Daozun.

At this time, Yuan Bao and Shui Qingbo also sensed something was wrong. The vortex of God-killing above was too terrifying. Even though they were protected by the innate five-element magnetic divine light, their souls were almost torn apart.

They were already in such a state at the edge, how much pressure would Gao Xuan have to endure at the center of the vortex? However, no matter how anxious the two were, they had no energy to help. They were even about to lose the ability to protect themselves.

The God-Destroying Vortex spun faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye its power reached its peak.

Located in the center of the god-destroying vortex, Gao Xuan also felt the huge threat at the soul level.

The whirlpools created by the twelve heavenly demons are extremely subtle in their changes.

Thanks to his soul sublimation, the immortal golden cicada, the mechanical war cicada, and the six-winged sky cicada were completely integrated. Not only was his soul extraordinary, but he also had the strength and solidity of the mechanical war cicada and the stability and depth of the immortal golden cicada.

That's it. Gao Xuan felt severe pain in his soul, as if his soul was really going to be crushed to pieces by the whirlpool.

However, the six-winged cicada was chirping loudly. This chirping was not urgent, but carried a bit of joy.

The six-winged cicada said, this is a good opportunity...

Gao Xuan didn't know where the opportunity was, and he even doubted the judgment of the six-winged cicada. This insect had made a big mistake once and almost killed him.

Gao Xuan was just thinking about it when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if a big hole was torn in his soul.

He was just about to activate the Wuji Zhushen Spear to resist, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed the mechanical combat body and the Baji Divine Weapon!

The Mechanical Battle Body and the Eight Extreme Divine Weapons both belong to the Mechanical Battle Cicada. However, these two are actually the external weapons of the Mechanical Battle Cicada. In essence, these two are completely different from the Mechanical Battle Cicada.

The mechanical war cicada and the six-winged celestial cicada can be completely integrated, but the mechanical war body and the eight extreme divine weapons cannot be integrated. These two powerful weapons can only be placed in the sea of consciousness of Gao Xuan's body, on another cosmic level.

Gao Xuan could never have imagined that the god-destroying vortex unleashed by the Twelve Mysterious Demons would actually pull out the weapon he was carrying.

This is easier said than done, but it spans two universes. You have to know that the mechanical combat body and the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon are real substances.

Gao Xuan couldn't imagine how much energy was needed to break through the barriers between two cosmic spaces and transfer matter, even if it was just one gram of matter!

Not to mention the mechanical combat body and the Eight Extreme Divine Weapons, these two guys are not ordinary.

Gao Xuan's confusion was answered in an instant.

He swept his spiritual sense over and instantly established a wonderful connection with Xue Tiejun and the Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons.

He seemed to have become Xue Tiejun, able to observe himself from the other's perspective, and able to sense the fear in Xue Tiejun's heart.

He could also sense the thoughts of the Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons. To be precise, these twelve demons did not have any real thoughts. He just felt the various changes of the God-Destroying Vortex displayed by the Twelve Xuandu Heavenly Demons.

At this moment, Xue Tiejun and the Twelve Xuandu Demons seemed to have become his clones.

Gao Xuan's spiritual sense swept over, and the emotions, thoughts, and states of Huang Tao and others were all clearly presented in his mind.

Huang Tao and others were also filled with fear, because the sudden change was completely beyond their imagination.

In the center of the god-killing vortex, a black mechanical armor suddenly appeared.

The battle armor had a tough and sharp appearance, with eight mechanical arms on its back spreading out like wings. There was a dark red hole on its chest, with layers of dark red light rotating in an orderly manner.

This set of armor is more powerful and ferocious than the armor that wraps the soul, and its style is extremely weird.

The key point is that the Twelve Xuandu Sky Demons used the God-Destroying Vortex, but not only did they fail to destroy Gao Xuan's soul, but they also pulled out a strange and powerful armor.

No one understood what was going on, only Gao Xuan suddenly understood. The power of the god-destroying vortex unleashed by the Twelve Mysterious Capital Demons was too great. It destroyed his soul, but it also stimulated the potential of the mechanical war cicada.

Gao Xuan instantly comprehended the secret technique of the Eight Extreme Divine Weapons: Soul Chain.

Once the soul chain was completed, Gao Xuan used the soul connection to instinctively summon the mechanical combat body and the Eight Extreme Divine Weapons.

In the state of soul chain, he also established a soul connection with Xue Tiejun and others. He could sense all their information. He could even establish a soul connection with the twelve Xuandu demons.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh. This was interesting.

Xue Tiejun, Huang Tao and other strong men all felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts. Gao Xuan's soul enveloped the armor, but for some reason, everyone felt that Gao Xuan's soul was laughing, and the laugh was so happy and relaxed...
