Chapter 2013: Chapter 2013: Heroic Spirit Power of the Ancients, Anxious Waiting
Everyone was incredibly tense.
They all wanted to know if Ye Feng could use the force of the entire universe’s Ancient Heroic Spirits to help the Cosmic Consciousness obliterate the troublesome Destroyer.
If he succeeded, all would be well.
But if he failed... everyone dared not imagine the consequences, which would be a disaster for all living beings in the universe.
"How could this happen?"
Venerable Hong Mei and others learned of Ye Feng’s plan and saw how he summoned the power of the entire universe’s Ancient Heroic Spirits, only to realize that the Cosmic Consciousness had schemed against the Destroyer.
This was a catastrophe!
"The consciousness of the Twin Universe seems more cunning than other high-grade great universes! Other cosmic consciousnesses don’t even know how to deal with the Destroyer."
"Yes, even I didn’t know the Destroyer could be obliterated by the power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits!"
"Don’t panic, perhaps it’s fake."
Everyone spoke confidently, but inside they were uncertain. Even the powerhouses of the universe were anxiously waiting.
Inside the cosmic consciousness bubble.
This was a land of void.
It appeared empty, spanning across an unknown number of light-years without any visible boundary, with only three glowing figures weaving and colliding.
One of the figures was Ye Feng.
At this moment, he was clad in golden Heroic Spirit Armor, holding a golden double-edged sword, engraved with ancient, grand, atmospheric runes, making him look like a peerless Divine King.
The second figure was the Destroyer.
She maintained a human shape, her eight eyes on her face radiating brilliant light, emitting a violent aura, akin to a peerless god of slaughter.
The third figure was not in human form.
It resembled a light sphere, with countless waves surging on its surface, each ripple containing endless cosmic laws, unfathomable.
This entity was the Cosmic Consciousness itself.
"Hehehe..."
Staring at the cosmic consciousness body, the Destroyer let out a sinister laugh, eager to devour the opponent immediately so she could control the universe.
"Destroyer, you can’t escape."
Ye Feng stepped forward, raising the Heroic Spirit Holy Sword in his hand high. Countless rays of light converged from all directions at superluminal speed, merging into the sword, causing it to radiate blinding brilliance.
"Ye Feng? You came in too?"
The Destroyer was astonished.
Currently, they were in the consciousness space of the Cosmic Consciousness, a place theoretically accessible only to the Cosmic Consciousness and a great being attempting to usurp it. How did Ye Feng make it in?
"Ye Feng is an ally of mine," the cosmic consciousness bubble fluctuated.
"An ally, just him?" The Destroyer narrowed her eyes at Ye Feng, full of disdain.
"Ignorant till the end, Destroyer, after today, you are doomed," said Ye Feng, as the Heroic Spirit Holy Sword in his hand shone even more brightly.
"Heh!" The Destroyer sneered, then leaped to enshroud the Cosmic Consciousness body with a stream of light, beginning her devouring process.
However, the cosmic consciousness bubble was tough to chew.
"It’ll take a year to usurp!" The Destroyer was surprised but quickly thought that a year wasn’t a long time.
As for Ye Feng, she outright ignored him.
In the Destroyer’s eyes, despite being puzzled by how Ye Feng entered the consciousness space, she was certain he wouldn’t impact her.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
As the Destroyer continuously sacrificed her power, the cosmic consciousness body started to smoke, resembling concentrated sulfuric acid dripping on steel, emitting smoke quickly.
Watching this scene, Ye Feng paused.
"The Destroyer seems to disregard me completely!"
He couldn’t help but touch his chin.
Of course, that’s even better.
The next moment, Ye Feng fiercely stabbed the Heroic Spirit Holy Sword into the surface of the Cosmic Consciousness body, piercing through the outer layer of the Destroyer, causing her to scream.
"Ah... the pain, it’s excruciating!"
The Destroyer quickly manifested a human face on the surface of the Cosmic Consciousness body, glaring at Ye Feng, realizing the terrifying power of that golden sword.
"Destroyer, you’re finished!"
Ye Feng poured his entire strength into the golden Heroic Spirit Holy Sword, its glow searing the Destroyer’s soul consciousness and enhancing the Cosmic Consciousness.
Crack!
Chunks of material dislodged from the Cosmic Consciousness body, suspending nearby. It was the primary material forming the Destroyer’s body: dark gold.
Originally extremely sturdy.
However, after enduring the lethal strike from the entire universe’s Ancient Heroic Spirits, it shattered apart.
The shedding of dark gold indicated severe damage to the Destroyer’s consciousness body. Despite her continued efforts to usurp the Cosmic Consciousness, her speed drastically slowed.
"Here’s a bottle of Dao Divine Water for you!"
Ye Feng took out a treasured bottle, sprinkling its Dao Divine Water over the surface of the Destroyer covering the Cosmic Consciousness body, making it sizzle and smoke.
"Damn it!"
The Destroyer roared, unwilling to accept defeat, yet remaining like a bone-attached parasite, gnawing at the Cosmic Consciousness.
"You are destined to fail!"
Ye Feng once again mobilized the power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits, releasing a shockwave specifically targeting the Destroyer, causing her soul to violently tremble, showing signs of cracking.
"Why! Why can the mere power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits harm me?"
The Destroyer let out a heart-wrenching roar.
She was blessed by a Heavenly Venerable!
By rights, her soul was strong enough to remain unshaken by the mere power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits.
"I told you, your failure is inevitable, don’t you understand by now?"
Ye Feng’s expression was cold.
Once again, he summoned the power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits, continuously assaulting the Destroyer’s soul. Since she was in the midst of usurping the Cosmic Consciousness, she couldn’t turn back and was utterly passive.
"Young friend, it’s up to you!"
The Cosmic Consciousness transmitted its voice.
Currently, it held the Destroyer down, preventing her escape, allowing Ye Feng to utilize the combined strength of the Dao Divine Water and the power of the Ancient Heroic Spirits to wear down the Destroyer’s soul steadily.
Victory was only a matter of time.
"Don’t worry, I’m doing my best, but the Destroyer’s soul is too thick! It’s stronger than any Quasi-Heavenly Venerable by countless times."
Ye Feng couldn’t help but grumble.
In theory, even if the Destroyer were a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, being restrained by the Cosmic Consciousness and bombarded by the Dao Divine Water and the entire universe’s Ancient Heroic Spirits, she should have been obliterated already, but she was merely injured.
To wear her down would take a lot of time.
The Cosmic Consciousness explained, "Because the Destroyer’s soul is very unique, seemingly refined from the fragmented soul of a deceased Heavenly Venerable, and blessed by a living Heavenly Venerable, its intensity is exceptionally high. Her soul body is already comparable to that of an actual Heavenly Venerable."
Ye Feng was astonished, "You mean we’re contending against a Heavenly Venerable right now?"
"Yes, thus it’s very challenging." The Cosmic Consciousness echoed, its tone perpetually calm.
This was the Cosmic Consciousness.
Even in the face of life-and-death crises, it remained like an indifferent robot, devoid of emotional fluctuation.
"Although difficult, if we persist, we can definitely obliterate the Destroyer’s soul!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth.
At once, he continued his assault, one sword after another hacking at the Destroyer, wearing down her soul until more dark energy shards and soul fragments exploded.
"This is valuable, devour!"
Ye Feng took the opportunity to consume the Destroyer’s soul fragments, instantly feeling invigorated, unable to suppress his joy.
...
Inside the Undying Star.
Everyone watched the cosmic consciousness bubble, unaware of the situation inside, all stationed there.
"Not good, there are formidable enemies appearing in the Black Prison!"
At this moment, the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s hair stood on end, spewing a mist of black smoke, which transformed into a massive light screen in mid-air, reflecting the situation over in the Black Prison.
In the scene:
Countless armies of Cosmic Sea Fish passed through the tree hole, entering the Black Prison, preparing to invade the universe from there.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign stepped forward, looking around at the people.
"Alright, I’ll join you." Qingchen Ancient Immortal and several Half-Step Heavenly Venerables stepped forward simultaneously, followed by tens of thousands of Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses.
"We’ll guard this place." The Nine Great God Kings chose to stay on the Undying Star, ready to support Ye Feng at any time.
"Then I’ll go to the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate, that side also needs manpower to defend." The Purple Fire Monarch said, he was also a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse, with him there, it could ensure the starry sky of the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate would not be breached.
"Kill!" The crowd split into three groups.
Led by Emperor Dragon Sovereign, some followed the Black Prison Demonic Beast to the Black Prison to hunt down the enemies passing through the tree hole’s light curtain. The Purple Fire Monarch, along with a few others, supported the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate, soon joining forces with the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor and the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor.
The remaining people stationed on the Undying Star.
Plop! Plop!
The Cosmic Consciousness light ball quivered, clearly under enormous pressure, but the crowd had no idea what was happening inside, so they could only stare blankly and wait.
Cosmic Sea.
"Senior Brother, why send so many cannon fodder into the Twin Universe? Isn’t this just offering food?"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable expressed confusion.
Venerable Hong Mei said, "The Destroyer is currently seizing the Twin Universe Consciousness, we send cannon fodder to enter the universe to condense another batch of Kings of Destruction. You see, Ye Feng seems unable to free himself now, even if he has Dao Divine Water he can’t use it, consequently, wouldn’t the King of Destruction have a great opportunity?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s eyes lit up with understanding.
"This is indeed a good plan!"
"Hurry, quickly split out marks, condense more Kings of Destruction, nobody slack off!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable immediately exerted pressure.
The Moon-Worshipper Elder and others had no choice but to split part of their soul marks, integrate them into those Cosmic Sea Fish, and send them into the Twin Universe.
At the same time, they also condensed Law Projections.
Black Prison Peak.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Venerable Hong Mei, Silver Eyebrow Venerable, and over a hundred Half-Step Heavenly Venerables’ Law Projections appeared, leading a large army of Cosmic Sea Fish towards Emperor Dragon Sovereign and others.
"Are you here to die?"
Emperor Dragon Sovereign laughed loudly, stepped forward, and a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level pressure erupted, instantly sweeping the field.
Boom!
With just one wave of impact, the invading millions of Cosmic Sea armies were completely annihilated.
"Haha, exhilarating!"
Emperor Dragon Sovereign greatly enjoyed this feeling.
Powerful, confident, invincible!
"So powerful, is this the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable with Invincible Supreme Combat Power? Even in the Cosmic Sea, Emperor Dragon Sovereign should be considered top-tier powerhouse, right?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They felt with Emperor Dragon Sovereign guarding the Black Prison, they could only be bystanders.
But soon, something was wrong!
Within those collapsed Cosmic Sea Fish, countless translucent marks floated out, quickly gathering in mid-air, becoming a brand new King of Destruction.
"It’s a King of Destruction!"
"Quick, destroy it!"
The crowd shouted.
"Leave it to me!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign pressed down with a palm, but the King of Destruction immediately dived into the Cosmic Dao, causing Emperor Dragon Sovereign’s palm to miss its target.
"Hahaha, what about a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable? Facing a King of Destruction that can dive into the Cosmic Dao, you still have no way to eliminate it."
The laughter of Moon-Worshipper Elder came from the tree hole.
"Oh, really?" However, Hu Feifei’s lazy voice came from a certain direction.
Everyone immediately looked over.
She stood gracefully, holding a treasured bottle, spraying rainbow mist transformed from Dao Divine Water, instantly engulfing the entire Black Prison void.
The next moment.
A figure fell from the void.
That was the newly appeared King of Destruction.
"How is there still Dao Divine Water?" Moon-Worshipper Elder and others were dumbfounded, they thought after Ye Feng entered the Cosmic Origin light ball, no one would have Dao Divine Water, unexpectedly Hu Feifei took out another bottle.
This... is infuriating!
"Die!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign, seeing the King of Destruction appear, unleashed a Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash, instantly cutting it to ashes, killing it on the spot.
On the other side, One-Way Extraterritorial Gate.
A new King of Destruction appeared here as well.
But...
"Sorry, kill you!" Mo Ying shot, taking out a bottle of Dao Divine Water, transforming it into mist, instantly enveloping the King of Destruction, making it lose its talent to dive into the Dao.
"True Sunfire, burn!"
The Purple Fire Monarch quickly followed up, using Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level flames to burn the King of Destruction to ashes.
Cosmic Sea.
"This infuriates me!" Venerable Hong Mei slapped the sea surface in anger, not expecting Ye Feng to leave behind hidden moves.
"Senior Brother, we have no way now, we can only pray the Destroyer can successfully seize the Cosmic Consciousness." Silver Eyebrow Venerable sighed.
"Don’t panic, we still have our master!"
Venerable Hong Mei said solemnly.
He and Silver Eyebrow Venerable had a common master, who was truly senior in the Abyss Clan, whose cultivation level reached the Heavenly Venerable realm, very powerful.
And their master had many friends.
Those people were also Heavenly Venerables.
Even if they couldn’t enter the universe themselves, they could send soul fragments in, unable to exert true Heavenly Venerable Combat Power, but still powerful enough.
At that time, they could still capture the Twin Universe.
"That’s right, even if the Destroyer fails, we still have our master!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable nodded to himself, ready to ask the master to help him restore the broken arm.
Several hours later.
The battle result was still undecided.
"Venerable, what should we do now?" The Moon-Worshipper Elder beside them swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Wait! The Destroyer isn’t dead yet, we keep waiting, maybe a miracle will happen." Venerable Hong Mei said, but there was no confidence in his heart.
Time passed bit by bit.
Early December.
At this moment, this great war had lasted for a full half a month, with no external enemies on either the Black Prison or the One-Way Extraterritorial Gate battlefields.
But, the war was not over yet!
Because the battle among the Destroyer, Cosmic Consciousness, and Ye Feng had not reached its final conclusion.
Everyone was anxiously waiting.
BOOM!
Suddenly, infinite aura gathered towards the Undying Star from heaven and earth, everyone felt a stirring in their soul, eyes full of shock, and couldn’t help but be startled.
"I feel my soul trembling!"
"Someone has created a new soul-related Law, it’s terrifying, invincible!"
Many people exclaimed.
"Someone created a soul-related Law?" Hu Feifei and Xue Rongqing glanced at each other, then simultaneously looked at the Cosmic Consciousness light ball, both thinking of one person.
Ye Feng!
Could it be that during his battle with the Destroyer, he also conveniently created the Soul Law?!
