Boom!!!!Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
The sounds of explosions were echoing inside the grand hall where Yun Che is now facing the remnant soul of the Isu race who possessed the body of Chu Yueli. Despite having the upper hand, he refused to follow Jasmine"s advice of destroying Chu Yueli"s body and taking out the remnant soul from within. He believes that her body and soul can be saved from that it. Destroying her means he must kill her and even if its the thing he must do, he refused to follow it for Little Fairy.....
Yun Che timed his attacks and approaches well as he evaded countless of attacks thrown by Ares towards him. Every time he managed to get close to her, the remnant soul who introduced himself as Ares exposed Chu Yueli"s body to him and allowed her to be attack. Yun Che however refused to do so and ended up being push back again and again. Ares exploited his weakness of refusing to kill Chu Yueli against him. Even though he really likes a challenge but right now, this Ares guy is started to p.i.s.s him off.
With Chu Yueli as a human shield, he couldn"t even launch a single counter attack against her. Right now, he is trying to find a way to remove Ares from Chu Yueli"s body. He could only dodge all of the energy attacks cast by Ares through her body. As long as he still possessed her body, he couldn"t kill her with a single stroke. Moreover, after empowering the body"s cultivations through the previous absorption. Ares was much more stronger than before.
One thing strikes him though, he couldn"t even see Ares"s soul before even if he is a Shinigami as if the soul was invisible in his radar. He couldn"t even sense him possessing Chu Yueli"s body"s and only managed to sense his existence through the system interference when he tried to possess his body.
He slowly waved Yoru in the air as before he spoke in his mind. "d.a.m.n, I needed to find a way to push him out of Yueli"s body. Until that happens, I could only defend myself against him."
Ares kept switching from throwing energy bombs and shooting him with energy beams. As a great warrior of the Isu, he wanted to possess Yun Che"s body because of the invulnerability and speed he possessed. This is better that the Moon Empress"s body that he possessed back in the days.
"Hmph, you as stubborn as that old witch back in the days. Let"s see whether you could steel your heart to kill this b.i.t.c.h." Ares immediately draws Chu Yueli"s sword on her waist before attacking him in one on one fight. Yun Che drew Yoru in front of him before initiating a defense battle against him. As their swords were clashing with one another, Yun Che positioned Yoru because using the side of the blade to knock Ares away from him. Due to its durability, he can use the side of the blade to knock Ares away. However, the more knocking he made, the more damage he did on Chu Yueli"s body.
He was starting to lose his patience. He wanted to test the capabilities of the Isu member by letting him grow stronger by absorbing the rest of the elders from before but seeing him treating Chu Yueli like an object. He was really p.i.s.sed off by him. When he managed to extract him from the body, he swore to end that Isu b.a.s.t.a.r.d despite his curiosity and excitement of meeting an actual Isu member.
Ares laugh maniacally as he didn"t feel any pain from Yun Che"s sword but the body he was dwelling was slowly taking damage. He was channeling more and more energy from his soul into Chu Yueli"s body and it was slowly harming her from inside. For a mortal to sustain the power of an Isu was basically suicide. Despite mortal cultivator body was stronger, they did not possess the Isu"s DNA and unique veins to support their powers.
"Hmph, since you won"t harm this woman of yours. I suppose it is okay for me to destroy this body and taking you out with it. Without the proper host, I cannot initiate a self destruct mode without a body. If you refuse to give me your body. I suppose I"ll kill this one to destroy your will and force myself into yours." Ares slowly floats into the sky before making the Isu linings on Chu Yueli"s body glowing.
"Self destruct? d.a.m.n…" As he was watching, the golden Isu linings on her arms was slowly transitioning to red.
[Ding….Warning. The remnant soul is slowly charging ma.s.sive amount of energy inside Chu Yueli"s body. Host must not prolong the battle as the energy is slowly harming her body. Host must do whatever it takes to stop the process or the body will self destruct and killing Chu Yueli with it.]
"What the..?... System, I haven"t found a way to remove him yet."
[Host must stop the channeling process now.]
"Yun Che…its now or never. You have to kill her!!" Jasmine floats next to him as she observed the glowing red markings on Chu Yueli"s body.
Yun Che immediately rejected Jasmine"s proposal. "No!!.... I refused. I couldn"t kill her. Little Fairy will be devastated."
"You barely know her and why do you care so much about that woman? If you can"t find a way to force extract the soul inside her, she"ll die anyway. Its better for her to die by your hand." Jasmine suggested causing Yun Che to frown.
"Like I said, I will not kill her…. Wait… what did you say?" Jasmine"s words suddenly triggered something in his head.
She was confused but replied "It"s better for her to die by your hand?"
He shook his head in disagreement. "No, before that."
"Force extract her soul?"
"Force extraction....That"s it. Jasmine , you"re a genius. Why didn"t I think of that before?" Yun Che suddenly distance himself from Ares before accessing his system interface.
"What do you mean?" Jasmine asked out of curiosity.
"Force extraction. Chu Yueli"s body and soul is currently weak from her previous near death encounter from those old men. If her condition is that weak, it means I can use it." Yun Che shouted in his mind as if he had a great idea.
"It?" Jasmine was quite confused but she couldn"t put the two and two together.
Yun Che immediately accessed the system store and purchased an item he considered useless for the rest of his life but Jasmine"s idea just now sparked an idea to him. He never expected to use that item but if its going to save Chu Yueli"s life then he"ll use it. The conditions are perfect for him to test it.
Ares couldn"t even see the interface and merely thought Yun Che was out of his mind by pointing his fingers up in the air. "Now, taste despair as you have to watch this woman die in front of your eyes. You mortals are merely things and tools for us to use. Despite you have the ability to cultivate, mortals are still mortals. After killing you and steal your body. I will tear this place apart and reclaimed my device before destroying this wretched place." Seeing Yun Che still standing, Ares mocked him as he watched Yun Che stood there with his hat covering his eyes.
Suddenly, he lifted his head as slowly transitioning his yellow Mihawk"s eyes into his Sharingan. As he calmly stood there, he slowly spoke in Isu language "I let you run rampant and grew stronger to test your capabilities as an Isu. But right now, you should kill me when you had the chance."
Ares shot him with a look of disdain as he spoke "Kill? Even if you stop me, the energy starting to run rampant in her body. She will still die and taking you along with her. Even if you"re dead, I will still take your body." To him, there"s no use fighting Yun Che if he only fight in defensive side all the time. He decided to detonate the body instead to destroy his will before force him to submission.
"I never actually used this but you leave me no choice." Yun Che immediately activated his flash step before teleport himself in front of Ares. This Ares guy was his longtime wish to meet a fully fledged Isu member but he never expected that Isu member is kind of a b.a.s.t.a.r.d and testing his abilities was a mistake after all.
Looking him straight in the eye, Yun Che"s Sharingan was slowly rotating faster than normal before he slowly muttered
"Dragon Soul Illusion"
The process was instant as Ares"s mind suddenly went on turmoil as it was slowly transported into a dark void where nothing existed. According to Yun Che"s Shinigami experience, if a rogue soul is in a mortal body, all physical and spiritual damage can affect the body but risking sending the original soul along with it. So what he did used just now was unexpected to Ares as he sent him into the realm of despair created by his illusion but he make sure to separate Chu Yueli"s consciousness.
Ares"s consciousness drifted into despair as the illusion was controlling his mind. But what he saw right now cause him to felt endless fear. All he saw was Yun Che"s Mihawk figure along with a ma.s.sive head of a creature behind him. What he saw was the ma.s.sive head of a bluish dragon and no matter how much he racked his memory, he never saw anything like this. As an advanced being and a proud warrior of the Isu, he never actually saw a mythical creature like that exist but the next thing sucked all his bravado. No matter how big it is as an Isu warrior.
"RROOAARR" The creature behind Yun Che roared as loud as the void could support and he felt endless fear started to overthrow his consciousness. This is the first time he wanted to prostate to a creature and lose his entire self conscious to it.
As for Yun Che, he was slowly lose his consciousness trying to stay awake. He only wanted to test this ability but never expected the toll was too much for his mind to bear. Since he was floating, he had to stay awake or he"ll fall head first to the ground. It"s not going to hurt that much but it"ll still hurts.
"Man, never expected the illusion is so powerful but at the same time exhausting. Compared to normal Sharingan illusion, this is way worse." Yun Che immediately deactivated his sharingan and drink a bottle of the divine water from his system. Aside from restoring his health and spirit force to full power, the water also has the ability to relieve his temporal excruciating side effects from the Sharingan. But it doesn"t remove the cool-down of the skill itself.
[Ding….Dragon Soul illusion activated. The remnant soul is now trapped under the illusion of the Azure Dragon. As a precaution, System has separated Chu Yueli"s consciousness and prevent her from succ.u.mbing to the illusion. Time remaining until the illusion dispel itself: 58 seconds.]
Yun Che suddenly lose his bearings and nearly drop Yoru to the ground. His face was covered with sweat as he struggle himself to stay awake. It was a necessary move. He decided to use the Dragon Soul Illusion he obtained from his previous trial from before since Ares really started to p.i.s.s him off. However, he felt a ma.s.sive headache and his eyes felt like it was ripping itself apart from activating the Dragon Soul Illusion as this is his first time use such a powerful illusion. The Dragon Soul Illusion only affects one person but the price of activating such a powerful intimidating illusion had its own heavy price.
The system warned him that Dragon Soul Illusion is technically the same as Mangekyou Sharingan Abilites and required his eyes must be at least that level to use it without any side effects. In other words, he"s like using the abilities of a Mangekyou Sharingan with a sharingan set of eyes and that kind of usage will result his eyes was ripping itself apart.
The system also warned him that If he used the Dragon Soul Domain, it will also produced twice the same effect side effects and immediately exhaust his mental strength just like the original Yun Che depends on the size of the domain he cast. Since the Dragon Soul Domain is a powerful AOE illusion domain, he decided that the Dragon Soul Domain only can be used as a last resort. One more thing, the Dragon Soul Domain needed his sharingan to be at least in Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to be used without side effects. Until he reached that level, he had to control his usage carefully.
He was slowly gasping before regaining his composure. Right now, Ares was under the effect of the illusion but the energy was slowly running rampant in Chu Yueli"s body. If he refused to hurt her physically, he decided to use the illusion itself to temporarily trapped Ares.
"Guess the trick works." Yun Che slowly spoke.
"What did you do to him?" Jasmine slowly floats next to him only to be greeted by him gasping for air as if he ran a 100km marathon or something like that. However, for him to be in this state means he must done something and managed to cause Ares or whatever is in that woman"s body to be in a standstill as if he was totally hypnotized. Since Jasmine never seen someone fell under the Sharingan"s Illusion, this means Yun Che must activated something to hold him.
Yun Che finally regained his balance before replying "I activated the Dragon Soul Illusion. Basically, it trapped him with the dragon"s intimidation for 60 seconds."
"Impressive, I thought your illusion could last longer." Jasmine went into deep thought once more. Yun Che once told her that the Sharingan can cast ordinary illusion but will not affect someone stronger than him or stronger soul capabilities. Since Ares can use energy attacks well means his soul is immune to illusions, it might be impossible. What she didn"t know that the Isu race is also mastery of illusion and using it on them is like using their own move in their own turf. Despite being resistant, there"s no way he can resist the might of a true G.o.d.
"Yeah, but his soul is much more powerful than Chu Yueli"s and he can resist the Sharingan Illusion. Even if I can trap him but it won"t be long. So, I decided to use the Dragon Soul Illusion. At least I use it for the first time." He replied Jasmine using his Mihawk"s persona before getting back to Chu Yueli.
Right now, the markings around Chu Yueli"s body was glowing rapidly as it runs rampant in her body. Yun Che immediately press his index finger and middle finger on her forehead before saying "System, transfer all the rampant energy into my body."
[Ding…host must release the energy immediately or it will cause some harm to the host instead.]
"I know, just transfer it." Yun Che was aware that the rampant energy inside Chu Yueli as it is an Isu created energy and totally different from his Spirit Force as well as profound energy. Even so, he had a perfect idea on how to use such an energy he gained from them.
[Ding… Initiating transfer.]
In an instant, the rampant energy in her body was slowly traveled from her forehead through his fingers. However, despite that. The energy traveled all over his body but instead of flowing naturally, it slowly depleting his HP.
[Ding….Transfer complete. New type of energy discovered.]
[Merging from the host"s original memory, Host had discovered Radiant Force.]
"Radiant Force? Wait, as in that Radiant Force?" He spoke in his heart. He knew what the system was referring to. Moreover, he conducted a research back in his original world about this energy.
"Radiant force is the destructive light energy source from the Isu race that are impossible to be cultivated mortals and only available to the Isu unique body structure and DNA. This force is required for the Isu race to use Isu related abilities as well as powering any Isu technology. Without this energy, the pieces or technology will drain the life force of any non Isu if they tried to use the technology.]
Yun Che raised his right hand and observed the glowing energy he just absorb from Chu Yueli"s body. The system can only help by suppressing the so called "Radiant Force" inside his body. Like the system said, no wonder the Isu can use any pieces of Eden perfectly. They used this kind of energy to use and power it up. Moreover, he didn"t have the proper body structure of an Isu so maintaining it in his body kind of hurts. "So I was right, to think I actually feel the power of the radiant force for once. So, only radiant force can control the Piece of Eden properly."
[Ding, since host has the body of a mortal and missing the required DNA to use it. It is impossible for the host to cultivate this energy. It is recommended for the host to channel the radiant force outside immediately as it now harms the host"s HP.]
[Ding....Detecting constant depletion. Current HP: 98%]
[HP: 96%]
He nodded in his mind that this energy might be unique and powerful but without the proper DNA, he couldn"t even control such energy. He didn"t needed it for cultivation, he wanted to control the energy so he can learn more on the Isu cultivation arts and properly use the pieces of Eden. But that might be impossible.
With that, the glowing energy around Chu Yueli"s body immediately disappears and Ares regains his consciousness once more. He had to use the illusion to hold him so he can extract the energy without any movement from Ares. He wanted to use his Kido Arts but he needed Ares to be still and quiet. As he regained his composure, the glows inside Chu Yueli"s eyes were slowly transitioning to gold indicate that the illusion is now over.
Ares immediately controlled Chu Yueli"s body to move away from Yun Che as he detected the rampant energy is gone and the markings on her body had totally disappeared.
"You stinking mortal…What in the world was that illusion?!?" Ares still felt endless fear came from the mythical creature behind him just now. He was stuck there for a long time but he didn"t know that the illusion only last a minute in the real world.
"Hmph.....Ironic, a proud Isu warrior fell under an illusion. I thought your race was a master of it. There are some illusion can affect you after all." Yun Che slowly stood up as he was ready to face the Isu member. Challenge and testing time is now over and now he just wanted to kill this guy.
Sensing his killing intent, Ares slowly smiled as he spoke while pointing towards Chu Yueli"s body. "You….Then, congratulation. You just killed this woman. I will use every technioque I know to kill you."
*Swish
Without saying anything, Yun Che immediately flash step towards him in one go. This time, he decided to use it but he had to harm Chu Yueli directly in the process. As long as its not fatal or hurts too much, he can deal with it later.
*SHOO
*SHOO
Ares kept throwing energy beams towards him which he avoided them using his flash steps. Ganking close to him, Ares immediately activated his Isu energy shield around him. Yun Che however, didn"t retreat like before, he immediately activated his Evil G.o.d gates before smashing the shield with Yoru coated with green energy on it and destroy it in one go. He play defensive the entire time, now...its time to be offensive.
The pieces of the shield flew all over the great hall as it widens Ares"s eyes seeing his proud shield destroyed.
Seeing his shield shattered. he shouted "IMPOSSIBLE!!!! My level supposed to be stronger than you!!! How could this be!!" Through the information he gained from the deceased elders, he knew that all of their levels are technically on the same level. He absorbed every ounce of those strength powering the body"s cultivation to this level, far stronger than Yun Che himself. Seeing his possessed body and powers being pushed back by a mere peak Sky Profound Realm warrior, he could believe his eyes even if he could see them clearly.
"Guess I kind of cheated. Just because you are stronger doesn"t mean you can beat me." Yun Che spoke through his Mihawk"s persona. Accelerating once more. He immediately raised his sword with an intent to kill. Despite his HP is slowly draining, he can still fight with full power without feeling any setbacks.
"He steeled his heart to kill this woman? No matter, I can hide for now and searched for another body the moment this one died." Ares raised his arms as if he wanted Yun Che to slice Chu Yueli"s body. However….
"Got you…" Seeing Ares took the bait, he smiled before shifting his sword and free his left hand. Suddenly, his said hand just now glows before being replaced with a some kind of glove. From Jasmine"s point of view, it looks like a red glove that didn"t cover his fingers all the way but behind it had an image of a fiery skull surrounded by blue, white and black flames.
"What the…how did that supposed to change the outcome of this battle?" From the side of the arena, Jasmine"s eyes widen as she saw Yun Che suddenly wore some kind of red glove on his right hand. To her, that kind of accessory didn"t even catch her attention but the next thing cause her great shock.
"Now, get out of Yueli"s body." Her said before pressing his gloved hand on Chu Yueli"s forehead.
Ares simply widen his eyes as he didn"t even do anything and just touch the forehead. "What are supposed to do with that…." Before he could finish his words, Ares and Jasmine were shocked to the core.
Yun Che"s hand phased through Chu Yueli"s body but the shocking thing was her body was covered some kind of blue lights before Jasmine could see what he actually pushed out of Chu Yueli"s body.
"Impossible, he just forcefully ejected that woman"s soul??!?" Jasmine couldn"t believe her eyes as Yun Che pushed Chu Yueli"s soul out of her body and with it, the pest that dwells within her.
Yun Che"s words about her soul appearance was true from the first time they met. When a soul is outside the body, the soul will wore some kind of white clothing on it and retained their original appearance. What she saw right now basically the same like what she wore when they first met and had a chain connecting their soul and body. Since she was a soul in a gigai, she could see Chu Yueli"s soul form and chain on Chu Yueli"s body as clear as day. Her soul chain was still connected to her body and retains her beautiful form.
What she saw next was a figure of an old man wearing some kind of clothing she never seen before. This old man was kind of bald and wore a strange type of clothing. If she were to describe it, he had a blue sash on his waist accompanied by white cloth all over his body. She might not know this style but Yun Che clearly knew it. As for the old man"s appearance, he had a long white beard on his chin and wore some kind of Greek outfit. When he was ejected, he flew out of Chu Yueli"s body detaching himself from her soul. Chu Yueli however was still unconscious and the chain connecting her soul and body was still present.
In an instant, Yun Che immediately flew towards the old man or Ares before freeing his right hand.
"You…how…" Ares was shocked but Yun Che arrived in front of his face before raising his right fist. In Ares"s mind he immediately though "I don"t know what he did but a mortal can never touch a soul. Its futile."
But his thought was immediately silenced before….
*POWWW!!!
"And that"s for sullying Yueli"s body." He spoke as he sent that soul flying before he could finish his words.
A punch landed square on Ares"s old face before sending him flying towards the side of the Arena. A soul might be invulnerable to mortals but they can still take damage from physical objects. Ares landed on the side of the arena on his back producing excruciating pain as he landed.
Seeing Ares on the other side, Yun Che immediately pulled Chu Yueli"s soul chain and pushing it back into her body and allow it to regained life once more. Then, he slowly carries her to the arena where Jasmine was observing from the other side.
"This thing…is this the thing you referred to?" Jasmine had her eyes on the funny looking glove on his left hand.
"Yes, this is a Gokon Tekko or in other words, its a Soul Apprehension Gauntlet. This thing can forcefully eject a soul from the body." Yun Che explained the purpose of the funny looking glove to her. He remembered Kuchiki Rukia always use this glove to eject Ichigo"s Shinigami form.
"This thing…its an absolute treasure. you can kill a person without even harming them by ejecting their soul and forcefully cutting the soul chain. Why on earth you called this thing useless?" Jasmine asked his as her eyes were fixed on the glove but Yun Che"s next explanation silenced her.
"This thing is kind of useless in this world. This world to be exact. Despite its property, the mortals of this world cultivate their bodies and soul to perfection. This is preventing their soul from being forcefully extracted. The only ways to extract their souls is when they are in the end of their lives and their bodies as well as souls were weak enough. In other words, badly wounded or weak soul. Chu Yueli"s body is weak from her previous encounter before and the Status Recovery skill only fix her body. It may be a while for the spiritual body and soul to recover from it. That"s why I thought of using this thing. It might work on ordinary humans but different story when it terms of cultivators."
"Ohh, no wonder you never use this thing before." Jasmine nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, only works for humans though. Normal humans not cultivators. There"s a reason why cultivators able to lived hundreds of years and probably thousands. Its because of their body. Even if I pressed this on a body of a cultivator, it won"t even phased."
"You said this woman was weak from before right?"
"The skill only restored her body but her spiritual body was still damaged from her near death situation. If she survived the attack, it took months for it to recover. So until then, he body is still strong but her spiritual body is quite weak. But, now that she drank the water. She"s fine now." As he spoke, he scanned Chu Yueli"s body for abnormalities and he was shocked that the stolen cultivation by Ares when he absorbed the powers of the those poor elders from before was still inside her body. So, Chu Yueli"s current cultivation is in the Peak of the Emperor Profound Realm. She almost reached Half-Step Overlord Stage. She"s much stronger than Little Fairy but that sister of hers probably catch up before the tournament begun. What can he expect? That Ares did absorbed an Overlord Minataur"s power and store it inside her body.
"Despite being a despicable person, he still helped Yueli here." Yun Che immediately pour a bottle of the Divine Water into her mouth and fixing her body. The Status Recovery just restored her body"s condition, HP and Profound Energy back to full power but not her spiritual capabilities. But since he used it on her before, he had to wait a day for him to use it again. However, due to her being forcefully possessed, she was still unable to regain consciousness. He can"t blame her though, her soul condition is pretty weak right now. With the Divine Water"s help, her body and soul is now restored to full power.
He sighs once more. If he knew about this particular event. He would use this water on her the moment he restored her body back then. Saving her the trouble of being possessed. Yun Che turned his eyes on Ares who slowly getting up after being hit directly to the face. He admitted, punching him was felt really good.
"*Cough….cough….. You… How? How in the world are you able to touch souls? According to our research, humans couldn"t see any souls but you…. You ejected that woman"s soul and me. Who are you really?" Ares slowly stood up facing Yun Che who was still in the arena and sheathing his sword behind his back. He couldn"t even believed what he was seeing when Yun Che ejected his soul from Chu Yueli. He thought that only the body was destroyed he can only freed himself from the body.
"Me? I supposed I can tell you one thing. I am not some warrior you can steal. I am Dracule Mihawk. A Death G.o.d." Yun Che confessed to him instead of beating around the bush.
Ares widen his eyes before gritting his teeth and roared at him. "Death G.o.d? Don"t lie to me. G.o.ds don"t exist. I"ve come from an advanced world where you couldn"t even hope to comprehend and we are the G.o.ds."
"Comprehend? Its true. I never knew the realm of the Isu but I do know one thing." He immediately flashed step towards Ares before grabbing his throat.
"You think souls are invincible? Then how do you explain this?" Yun Che was referring to his ability to touch soul beings. With that, Yun Che dropped him to the ground before he spoke again.
"What you did to that woman just now was unforgivable. You used her body and wanted to kill her. Now, no body you can use. No weapon you can lift and no cultivation you can steal. Let see what you made of old man." Yun Che raised his fist to challenge Ares into a hand to hand combat.
Without a body, an Isu is useless just like in his previous world. They can only provoke and influenced mortals into their bidding but he is not the one who falls into it.
Ares was feeling bottomless anger from his soul body. For three thousand years he was trapped in this realm and found the perfect body. However, instead of using others to get it. He got greedy and wanted the strongest one only ended up in this state. First that b.i.t.c.h of an empress and now him.
"YOU FILTHY MORTAL!!!! I don"t know how you were able to touch my soul body just now. But as an Isu, NO…AS G.o.dS AMONG MORTALS!!!! I REFUSED TO BE HUMILIATED LIKE THIS!!!" Ares slowly approached him with his soul body.
Suddenly, multiple clones of him started to appear all over the arena in an attempt to overwhelm him. He might be a soul but he can still use one of the Isu primary abilities, Illusion Clones. The clones were all over him but instead of thinking a way to escape. The swordsman simply smiled.
"Let"s see you can beat my…." Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Che suddenly appeared near one of the clones and responded by giving him a straight punch to the face.
POW!!!!! It didn"t contained any strength but he used his basic hand to hand combat with him.
Ares flew once more and all of a sudden, the clones disappear as if it was never even deployed. The rough soul cough intensely after being hit by a regular punch at the same time widening his eyes. His illusion clones were flawless and there"s not even a single hint giving his original self away but this man knew exactly where is his original self.
As for Yun Che, he merely spoke shrugged as his sharingan could see his original form clear as day and he just went straight at him. The funny thing about these illusions are once they beat the original, they will cease to exist.
"This is impossible!!! I refused to accept this." Ares powered up his fist with his own Radiant Force before engaging Yun Che once more. Jasmine watched from the side of the arena and sighs. That old man never knew that her disciple was bullying this old man all along. Each time Ares threw a punch, a wild punch arrived at his face.
"Guarkkk!!!" Ares hold his bleeding face before another punch arrive before he even knew it.
Pow…
Pow…
Pow…
Punches and counter punches landed on Ares"s face and body. He couldn"t even landed a single punch on Yun Che as the guy himself was a master in hand to hand combat. He didn"t even to enhance his strength and only use his perks as a Shinigami that enable him to touch soul beings like Ares.
The two began their hand to hand combat style. Yun Che admitted, Isu have an unusual way of utilizing hand to hand combat but as someone who was on top in his world, strength doesn"t determine the strongest. Intelligence and Speed defines it. All he did was counter and punch, counter, punch….making Ares looked like a joke. IMoreover, he faced several Isu members back in his home world but this is the first time he actually fought a member from their realm. That"s why he wanted to test his capabilities but when he took Chu Yueli"s body, that"s the last straw. Besides, that"s his bad habit from his home world. He knew one day he had to stop it.
But….old habits die hard.
POW!!!
A punch once more landed on Ares"s old bearded face. A proud Isu warrrior was mocked for their capabilities. Even in his world, the Isu only relied on technology to fight against modernized world mortals. Without the so called "Radiant Force" and a body to utilize them, they merely become someone who just lost their technology. In other worlds, they became ordinary mortals. As for Ares, he was a proud Isu warrior from his realm, a warrior who was expert in Isu fighting abilities but now he couldn"t even beat a mortal with punches and kicks. He spent 2000 years coaxing that woman into his ways and only ended up betrayed in the end. Now, another one shows up and humiliate his like this.
"HOW!!!Mortals can"t touch me!! How are you…." Before he could finish his sentence, another punch landed on Ares"s face sending him flying across the arena. If people of the outside world see this, they will never expect the Great Swordsman Dracule Mihawk was using his fist to fight instead of his swords. No energy, no haki, no nothing. Just good old fist to fist fighting.
Feeling his annoyance from before, Yun Che teleport towards Ares before appearing before him. That Ares never knew this man before him was much more powerful that he thought. He absorbed and increase his strength through the elders from before but now, he was ejected from that woman"s body and all hope of claiming his body is now lost.
Yun Che was annoyed, this guy had been spouting s.h.i.t non stop and he was sick of it. He spoke through his Mihawk"s voice "I told you… I am a Death G.o.d. A soul race and more importantly a G.o.d. To us, you are just like any other mortals."
"Hahaha…you can"t kill me. I am nothing but a soul. I will always come back. I will always reincarnate. Our souls will never die. Even if I am, my comrades in this world will complete the gateway using all nine artifacts of our technology in this world. Then, my race will invade this world and plunder the secrets of G.o.dhood in this world. If I can"t have your body then perish with it!!!!"
He kept his calm at the same time widening his eyes as he heard the statement. So that"s how it is, the Isu needed all nine artifacts a.s.sembled before they can conjured up a gateway to their world and the Apple is just one of them. Looks like he can a.s.sumed that that the Isu had already prepared an invasion force but they needed the gateway to be completed if they wish to invade this world. They couldn"t send anyone due to some technical error but they did sent their artifacts along with the souls of some of their members. If he summarize what Ares did right now is basically the same as the other souls, it means they needed to established a footing before bring the entire invasion force here at the same time turn the humans in this world against their own kind.
He heard from Ares before that due to the abilities of cultivation in this world, they wanted to invade and enslaved the mortals here. But, even if people here are a cultivators, they will fight against technologically advanced mortals. The Isu couldn"t beat the human cultivators of this world with brute force but if they had the technology to do it. They could turn the tides of battle in an instant.
Yun Che shook his head and focused on the real issue. But the moment he heard those plans, he didn"t planned to save this world. He had another plan in mind. He"s been planning this the moment he heard the existence of the realm of Eden or Realm of Isu.
Suddenly, the arena began to glow as countless sword shaped lights started to form a all over him. The old man emptied his entire energy before forming a ma.s.sive dome made up of golden sword lights.
"You might be able to counter my illusion clones but there"s no way for you to counter hundreds of sword lights at the same time." Ares waved his hands before waving them down indicating the sword lights will move to attack at the same time. Seeing the swords cover all over the arena, Ares sinisterly laugh as he saw all the swords converging around Yun Che"s position and cutting all of his escape routes.
"NOW PERISH!!!" All the sword lights move into his direction. This old man is really keen on killing him.
But…..

Yun Che smiled which looked really sinister when Mihawk smiles as he spoke "Oh, but you forget one thing. When souls perished. You will never be able to reincarnate."
Yun Che drew Yoru once more before holding it vertically in the air.
BOOM!!!
The energy around his body was swirling as golden energy suddenly formed into a ma.s.sive pillar around him causing ma.s.sive wind around them. He used the extracted energy from before to empower his sword before creating using it as a fuel for his sword technique. The energy turned Yoru"s blade golden as he empowered them with Radiant Force he absorbed from Yueli. At the same time, his yellow eyes were glowing with Radiant Force as well. The energy might be foreign but he could still channel them easily. Good thing he placed Chu Yueli"s body outside the arena or else, she might get caught in the blast.
Seeing he used Radiant Force to create a powerful energy pillar, Ares slowly widen his eyes as fear slowly crept around him. "Just who is this guy? How did he control the Radiant Force without having our DNA. This is impossible….impossible..."
The swirling energy around the swordsman dissipates the colliding swords as he gritted his teeth watching Yun Che control the Radiant Force. His sword was created with his ordinary strength while Yun Che had the strength of Seventh Level of the Emperor Profound Realm. The difference was too vast. Seeing the Isu exclusive energy being controlled by a mortal, Ares immediately hissed "You….you will never get away with this. My comrades will find you. They will know the moment I died and the device is in your hands."
As for Yun Che, he kept his calm as Ares tried to threaten him but what that old coop didn"t know was he just gave the ticket for him to finalize his plans. He smiled once more and spoke "Then, I"ll let you know so this can be a message to your comrades. I knew everything about you precursors. You are nothing but trouble in my eyes. I will find all of your comrades and claimed all the Isu artifact. Instead of you Isu invading this world, We will invade yours."
Ares slowly felt fear creeping in from his stomach as he heard Yun Che"s statement. He never guess the man with the yellow eyes could be so intimidating. Invade their world? It would be a fool"s dream if he ever even try to attempt it. But, he merely shouted "You"re bluffing. To think a mortal like you try to challenge the might of our race? You don"t know anything. We came to your world three thousand years ago!! Its impossible for you to know anything about us."
Yun Che expelled all the foreign energy in his body focusing all of it inside Yoru. He admitted his body felt a lot better after he did that. "I do, I came from a world where your kind exist as well. But you don"t need to know about that."
Snap* He snapped his free hands and the towering pillar suddenly released a bit of its energy like a shock wave all over the arena. He expelled the energy before destroying all the sword lights with a single wave causing Ares to widen his eyes in shock. The strongest technique he cast was instantly destroyed by a snap of the swordsman"s finger.
"Where is this mortal came from? How did he use the Radiant Force? How did he make of this….How…?"
"Here I come…." Yun Che simply murmured as he was preparing to unleashed a ma.s.sive sword technique. Jasmine simply sighs as this idiot disciple of hers always using destructive moves without even thinking the consequences. She"ll give him an earful later.
Ares immediately raise his hands as he surrendered. He fearfully shouted "Wait…wait…. I knew all the Isu techniques….I even know all the other Isu weapons and even how to make them…..I could share them with you….we could work this out…."
"No need….Like I said… I knew all about you precursors. I"ll find a way to learn everything. But now....." Yun Che spoke
Ares fearfully fell on his back as Yun Che slowly lowers the rampaging energy pillar towards Ares who was rooted by fear on the spot before he murmured….
"Getsuga….."
"Tenshou…"
SWISSSHHHH!!!!
BOOOMM!!!!
The energy from the pillar suddenly transform into a ma.s.sive energy wave as it engulf Ares on the spot. Ares"s shout of despair were heard all over as the ma.s.sive energy wave engulf him in one single strike. Destroying his entire soul and killing him instantly. The rampaging golden wave traveled across the arena and smashed itself onto the wall of the vault.
The vault suddenly tremor all over as the energy smashed itself on the wall without any way of dissipating. The ma.s.sive wave shows no sign of dissipating as it continued to destroy anything on its path.
"s.h.i.t...too much." He shouted inside his mind before he heard a shout nearby.
"Yun Che!! You"re going to destroy the vault at this rate." Jasmine"s shout were heard even the sound of the blast overwhelmed it and Yun Che immediately dissipates the blast by shattering its energy causing the ma.s.sive wave to explode all over.
With his speed, he immediately flashed step to Chu Yueli before deploying his Evil G.o.d shield and protected them both against the rampaging attacks. The energy flew all over the before exploded on the walls of the arena, seating area and the floating pyramid. Even though the explosion was a lot but was a small explosion resulted from the dissipation. Moreover, the energy was purely made up from Radiant Force and he didn"t even infuse any Spirit Force in it.
The explosions created smoke residue as the after effect the moment he dissipates them. Jasmine opens her eyes and saw a ma.s.sive trench created from his Radiant Getsuga Tenshou just now and saw a ma.s.sive hole on the wall where the concentrated energy was aimed before he dissipates them.
[Ding....Congratulation for destroying a member of the Isu race. Ares.]
[Experience + 100000 SP+ 7500]
[Ding.... Congratulation Host for achieving the achievement "My World, My Own" - Kill a member of the Isu Race. Experience + 10000 SP + 1500]
[Ding.... Rare Item Obtained.]
"Rare item? what kind..." His murmuring were silence before a tiny golden droplet appeared before his very eyes. Seeing the droplet closely, it was surrounded by small Isu markings floating around it as if it looked like futuristic golden droplet.
[Congratulation host for obtaining Isu"s Droplet"]
"Droplets of the Isu Realm....what kind of item is that?"
[Ding.... Based on the host"s memories, the Isu Droplet is one time use item that changed the humanoid body structure an Isu or a human and upgraded their DNA. The Isu"s Droplet item can only be obtained once an Isu with a Quadruple Helix DNA dissipates their soul. However, system had compiled the remains of Ares"s soul and created this item. If this item is used on a human"s body, it will change the body structure and DNA of a human and allow them to cultivate Radiant Force.]
[Once the item"s been used, it could no longer be extracted and this is a one time use only. If host wish to obtain more, host must find other Isu members and destroy them. However, host cannot infuse the droplet again after the body structure is changed. But, host can use it on another person if he required it.]
Yun Che was speechless the moment he saw the floating golden droplet in front of him. "Changed their entire DNA and body structure? Holy h.e.l.l!!!" Looks like his research back then was true after all. Back in his original world. Humans have double helix DNA while Isu race had triple Helix DNA. But, Isu members were just normal humanoid mortals but there are advanced Isu members able to project their energies to the outside world just like Ares. They were able to use extraordinary powers and properly wield the Pieces of Eden to its full potential. That"s when he knew that those beings have different DNA structure as normal Isu members couldn"t use it. To be specific, Quadruple Helix DNA. That"s when he knew the existence of Radiant Force. Only a handful of those precursors can use it. To think that he just found a droplet that change the body structure.
For now, he decided to store the item before he can use it later. Its a one time use and he planned to use it on himself and upgrade his current human body. If that happens, he will have the Isu bloodline within him. That thought alone excites him as he could finally wield the Apple without any side effects.
"I"ll store this for later." He sighs before placing it into his inventory. Even though it excites him that he could use that Radiant Force but the droplet only allows him to use the force and properly wield their artifacts. No special perks. No anything. Not that tempting but at least its something.
Yun Che dispelled the Evil G.o.d shield but the first thing he heard was Jasmine"s shout ringing in his ears. "You idiot!!! You went overboard!!! Again!!!" Jasmine"s was kind of worried the moment he released that ma.s.sive Getsuga Tenshou, he might destroy the tomb and buried them along with it.
"How the h.e.l.l am I going to release the energy? I can"t cultivate them and it really started to hurt keeping them for too long." Yun Che shouted through his Tenteikura towards Jasmine. At least he can act like himself like that rather than Mihawk"s calm personality.
"You….you want to trap yourself in this tomb? You could"ve just ended it by slashing him."
"I was…..but I am looking for way to release the energy. I never though it was actually this powerful. No wonder the Isu had this powerful energy inside them all along. Besides, you don"t have to worry. If the Empress built the vault just like in my world, the walls can absorb the impact. It was built to withstand Isu Radiant Energy after all." Yun Che once more scanning the damages done by the residue energy after he dissipates them but seeing the cracks and holes all over making him suddenly sweat dropped.
"Kind of" He spoke while closing his eyes awaiting another earful of Jasmine"s ranting.
Jasmine shook her head before sighing once more. Yun Che explained to her that the Isu cultivate a special type of energy known as the Radiant Force before showing her what he obtained from the system just now. He couldn"t explain to her about the DNA part but he just explained that the droplet allows humans to cultivate Radiant Force.
Seeing the droplet in front of her eyes, she was completely astonished as she spoke "I don"t know what to say. We can use that powerful energy just now?"
He explained "Not quite. Ares probably had thousands of years polishing that energy and I just used that energy. It even correspond with my cultivation. Even if we can use it, it"ll took years to achieved that level. They made this energy specifically for them and impossible for mortals to cultivate them."
"But, you have that droplet and the system. Why not giving it a try?" Jasmine suggested.
Yun Che gave a thought about it. Although it was tempting for Jasmine, she couldn"t use it as she doesn"t have a human body yet and her current is only a gigai. He did contained the energy within his body but it was slowly chipping his HP and he couldn"t even regenerate them. By the time he released it just now, his HP was already left with 48%. It was a good thing he could dissipate it entirely. The system also told him that even if he kept Ares"s energy from before, it was too powerful for the current him to handle it. He had to familiarize himself and cultivate the force from the beginning.
The energy force from before destroyed everything in the arena. They were shocked knowing that this is the amount of energy extracted from Chu Yueli. If he didn"t extract them from her who knows what kind of explosion the energy could create inside her body. Yun Che turned his eyes towards the pyramid above him. It wasn"t enough for the smaller energy residue to cause a major damage to it but he sure hoped he didn"t destroy it by accident. It was a miraculous that the statues survived without being damaged by the explosion.
"Man, there goes a good Isu sample." Yun Che had his fun testing the Isu member Ares but its all fun and games until that rogue soul used Chu Yueli"s body. Moreover, he even let Ares absorbed the strength of those elders and that Minatour into Chu Yueli"s body, he was grateful that the cultivation remains inside her body and empowered her cultivation to the Peak of the Emperor Profound Realm. She might be shocked once she wakes up later but seeing her current state, it won"t happen anytime soon. Moreover, she might had a hard time breaking through to the Overlord Stage later as her body didn"t accustomed to the Emperor Profound Realm Veins yet. She might have the strength but she doesn"t have the ability to control it yet compared to Little Fairy who spent months familiarize herself with the veins before he broke through her cultivation. Right now, she probably will enter Peak Level faster than antic.i.p.ated.
"Good thing you finished him. If it were up to this princess, I might killed him along with this woman." Jasmine shot him with a glare. He seems to care about this woman and refused to kill her.
Yun Che simply dismissed her and said "Like I said, I won"t kill her because she"s Little Fairy"s sister. It"s a good thing you suggested extracting her soul just now or else who knows what"ll happen next."
"*sigh, your care for women might took your life one day." She spoke before floating away from him again hiding her obvious jealousy.
"Actually it did…" Yun Che spoke in his heart as Jasmine was right about that part but he merely shrugged his shoulders. If it was any other woman, he couldn"t even care less about it but this one is Little Fairy"s beloved sister. Her pain of losing her sister is the last thing he wants to see. Besides, this girl is kind of sweet despite being cold on the outside.
"Ehem....Now let"s see what else the Empress is hiding from us." Yun Che simply fake-cough and avoided the topic before jumped towards the statue Chu Yueli moved during the fight to avoid them being targeted. He admitted the statues were lucky enough that they didn"t get damaged or blown up in the series of explosion just now. The Moon Empress really thought of it.
He restored the statue back to its original place and the clicking sound all over the arena was heard again.
Click….
Click….
Click…..
Suddenly, the pedestal from before sprung from underneath the pyramid and Jasmine slowly floats towards it. Yun Che placed Chu Yueli"s unconscious body comfortably beside them before he proceeded towards the pedestal.
"Well, Jasmine. Last pedestal." Yun Che spoke with a hint of curiosity. They went through a lot to get to this point and really hope there"s no more tricks after this.
"Good… I am wanted to see that Apple up close." Jasmine nodded before Yun Che put his hand above it and suddenly….
Aqua lights were shining all over again as this time he didn"t even see the silhouette of the Moon Empress or transported into a memory lane but what happened next was the pyramid above them slowly descended to the arena. He though everything was over before another thing happens to them.
The pyramid slowly descended until it"s technically above their heads but the markings all over it started to glow furiously.
Both of them weren"t prepare until his body and Jasmine"s soul started to glow with Aqua lights causing them to float from the ground. It only happens to them but not Chu Yueli. The weirdest thing was Jasmine was only in her soul form but she was actually glowing along with him as if the pyramid knew she was there all along. This adds another big question on his mind as the lights not only dragging him but Jasmine along as well.
"Okay…what is happening to us?" Jasmine spoke to him while trying to resist the pyramid"s suction force.
"I don"t know….probably…." Before Yun Che could finish his words. Both of them were instantly turned into a streak of light before entering the glowing pyramid leaving behind Chu Yueli who was still unconscious.
