Chapter 4006: Fis.h.i.+ng in troubled waters
The chance had finally come.
Ling Han and Chi Menghan were both rubbing their fists. This was the best chance for them to break through to the Spirit Transformation Tier in terms of strength of their souls, and what made the two of them feel that it was a pity was that that early stage Spirit Transformation Tier yin soul shouldn’t have been killed so early, but should have been used to help them break through.
It was too late for regrets now.
Thankfully, they didn’t necessarily require a great yin soul of Spirit Transformation Tier to take this step, but rather one in True Self Tier was enough, so they would have a greater range of choices.
They waited patiently. A month later, they saw the Western Desert King lead an army into battle. All his elite subordinates followed him, and there was no one to mine or guard the
mine.
This opportunity naturally could not be missed. Chi Menghuan once again summoned the clan members to continue mining, while she and Ling Han set out with the Western Desert King’s team.
The army travelled for three days, and another army appeared ahead of them. It was vast and boundless, and the weakest was at the level of the Core Formation Tier.
The two sides did not speak any nonsense, and immediately began an intense battle.
Boom!
The commanders-in-chief of both sides also moved. They were all Sect Master-level great yin souls. In a clash of blows, the yin soul elites in the surroundings instantly collapsed in droves, causing the remaining yin souls to hide far away, not daring to approach and deliver themselves to their deaths.
“This is our chance.” Ling Han and Chi Menghan exchanged a glance before charging forward together.
‘Die!’
They used the Heavenly Brilliance Technique. Multiple rays of dazzling light flickered, and the Yin souls in the surroundings also collapsed continuously.
“Mere living souls dare to take advantage of the crisis!” A great Yin soul charged over. This was a Spirit Transformation Tier, and a late stage at that.
Ling Han and Chi Menghan merely defended and didn’t attack this large monster. They roamed around and started to ma.s.sacre the other small monsters.
Countless Yin souls collapsed, and there was no shortage of True Self Tier ones among them, causing the strength of Ling Han and Chi Menghan’s souls to begin to slowly increase again, charging towards Spiritual Transformation Tier.
In this kind of war, they were not the only ones who had improved.
It could be seen that there was an endless stream of Core Formation Tier yin souls breaking through to True Self Tier, and True Self Tier yin souls breaking through to Spiritual Transformation Tier. However, comparatively speaking, there were pitifully few yin souls breaking through to Spiritual Transformation Tier.
Boom, amidst a terrifying aura fluctuation, a Spiritual Transformation Tier peak stage Yin soul also completed its breakthrough, leaping into Sect Master-level in a single stroke.
However, this was the beginning of its misfortune.
The Western Desert King and Heavenly River King, who were battling fiercely, immediately stopped. Then, they charged towards the Yin soul that had just broken through to Sect Master Tier. The two of them actually joined forces.
Their strength far surpa.s.sed the early stage of Minor Advanced Tier, and it was the two of them working together at that. How could the newly promoted Sect Master Yin soul possibly match them? It was only about a hundred moves, and it was forcefully torn to shreds.
Then, its copious amount of soul energy was immediately absorbed by the Western Desert King and the Heavenly River King, causing their strength to increase by a significant amount. Seeing this scene, Ling Han couldn’t help but curse internally. Then, he looked towards Chi Menghan, and the two of them had the same thought.
-Had this Western Desert King and Heavenly River King attained previous agreement? Their opposition was only an act, and their true motive was to have their subordinates develop and improve, so that they would be able to devour them?
Perhaps there were other Yin souls that thought the same, but now that the flames of war were raging, no one could turn back. Otherwise, they would be overwhelmed by the boundless Yin souls. Additionally, every Yin soul that was still alive was becoming stronger, and this had also become a powerful temptation that they were unwilling to give up.
Becoming stronger, this was a longing that was written in their bones.
“Something’s not right. Let’s go after breaking through to Spirit Transformation Tier.”
“All right.”
Ling Han and Chi Menghan also set their targets. Although the longer they battled here, the better. However, if they were too greedy, the consequences would also be extremely severe. Both of them had great intelligence, as well as great decisiveness, and knew that this was not a good place, and they could not stay too long.
Not long after, another Spiritual Transformation Tier Yin soul broke through, but it immediately suffered the same fate, being jointly killed by the Western Desert King and the Heavenly River King.
It was as if they were rearing venomous insects, waiting for the strongest to appear, and then kill and devour them.
Ling Han suddenly thought that the Netherworld beings should not only be Yin souls on the level of Sect Master. Then what about Yin souls on the level of Venerate Tier, or even Saint-level?
Were they hiding in the dark, waiting for the breakthrough of Sect Master-level yin souls? Then, would they move, and use these Yin souls as nutrients to improve themselves?
F***, this place was really chaotic.
After battling for a while longer, Ling Han and Chi Menghan both lit up. They had broken
through.
Spiritual Transformation Tier!
They could not be greedy to the point of insatiableness.
The two of them exchanged a glance before turning around to leave.
“Humph, you still want to flee?” A cold laugh rang out, and the Western Desert King suddenly abandoned the Heavenly River King and charged towards the two of them, “Since you’re
already here, then just stay behind.”
It stretched out a hand to grab, and with a single hand, it could blot out the skies. It was a dark ma.s.s, and there were endless seals flickering, terrifying without bounds.
Ling Han and Chi Menghan hurriedly shot out the Heavenly Brilliance Technique. The Imperial Technique was naturally extraordinary. Boundless brilliance dazzled, raising their battle prowess to the level of Sect Master.
However, their battle prowess was at most at the early stage of Minor Advanced Tier, but the Western Desert King’s strength was at the middle stage of Minor Advanced Tier. The gap was
huge.
Peng!
With just a single strike, Ling Han and Chi Menghan were both sent flying.
“Let’s go!”
Though their souls were trembling violently, they did not even recover for a moment, and
immediately began to flee.
“You think you can leave?” Heavenly River King also charged over, a cold smile on his lips. “What a pity. Such a delicious living soul has to be eaten when it’s so weak. If I could wait until you attain Minor Advanced Tier, that would really be delicious and nouris.h.i.+ng.” “Humph, these two living souls have mastered an amazing technique. When they advance into Minor Advanced Tier, will you still be a match for them?” the Western Desert King
scoffed.
“True.” Heavenly River King nodded.
F***, these two Yin souls had indeed long since collaborated. The so-called war was merely breeding venomous insects.
How could Ling Han and Chi Menghan dare to continue fighting? They hurriedly leaped into
the air and fled.
However, their cultivation level was far inferior, so how could their speed compare to the Western Desert King and Heavenly River King’s? They quickly caught up to them.
As Ling Han attacked, he said, “Are you two Ghost Kings going to chase out just like this?
Aren’t you afraid that one of your lackeys will break through to the level of Sect Master, sneak away, and establish their own forces?”
“Humph, it won’t take much time to kill the two of you!” The Western Desert King was
unmoved.
Ling Han’s left hand shook. Boom! Destructive Energy surged, and he said proudly, “Then why don’t you guys give it a try!”
Seeing the black energy, a hint of wariness appeared on the Western Desert King and Heavenly
River King’s faces.
Though Ling Han was so weak that he couldn’t even withstand a single blow from them, this black energy was incredibly terrifying. To them, it was definitely a deadly weapon, and possessed an indescribable threat.
“How about it?” Ling Han asked calmly. “It’s indeed possible that you people will kill us.
However, it’s hard to say how much time you’ll need. Moreover, if I put my life on the line,
one of you will definitely be severely wounded. At that time… hoho, I wonder if the other person will be benevolent?”
When these words fell, both the Western Desert King and the Heavenly River King looked
hesitant.
