"Who doesn't know how to boast? If you have the capabilities, showcase your true abilities on the stage! Your, Bai Han's Coldmoon Late Autumn, I really want to experience it a little!" Jiang Yancai said with a cold smile.
"Rest assured, I'll let you witness it." Bai Han did not show the least bit of weakness.
"Alright, stop fighting! Each of us has our own trump cards. Before going up the stage, nobody knows who'll win or lose either. But I heard that Zhuo Bufan has also taken fancy on the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm's qualifications this time."
Hearing this name, Jiang Yancai and Bai Han's expressions changed.
Chapter 942 - Powerless to Turn the Tables
On the arena, came waves of rumbling sounds. The battle situation was abnormally intense.
Although the Bright Moon Competition only had one spot, the allure was too great. Therefore, the young martial artists who registered this time were several tens of thousands of people!
What was currently taking place at the moment was only the preliminary selections.
The contestants were divided into several tournament regions to carry out several rounds of battle. The 16 people decided, in the end, would undergo the last final onslaught.
Hence, each and every one of these genius martial artists who bragged and boasted of being formidable unleashed out all of their might, in order to charge into the finals.
This period of time, there was already news that spread. Yue Mengli was currently receiving a mysterious expert's treatment and was very likely to recover her health.
The moment this news appeared, those genius martial artists were all like they were injected with stimulants.
One had to know that Yue Mengli was an unparalleled beauty famous in the Divine Realm. In terms of beauty, only the Spirit Snow Divine King who remained reclusive could rival her.
They did not even need to think about the Spirit Snow Divine King. But Yue Mengli was within grasp.
As long as they won the Bright Moon Competition!
To be able to bring a beauty back and also obtain the qualifications to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, this kind of temptation was sufficient to drive the genius martial artists crazy!
The preliminary selections were already underway for five day's time. The geniuses fought in chaotic battles. The battle situation was incomparably intense.
But after five days had passed, the situation also gradually cleared up.
Super Holy Land Skypool Celestial Empire's successor, Zhuo Bufan, became the top favorite to seize the championship.
Second only to Zhuo Bufan was Vastsun City's Zhou Yan.
In addition, Rank One Holy Land, Crimson Cloud Sect's successor, Bai Han, Big Dipper Holy Land's successor, Jiang Yancai, as well as Spirit Crane Holy Land's successor, Tang Yu, so on and so forth, were also favorites to take the championship.
These genius martial artists were all First Level Dao Profound experts without exception!
To be able to step into emperor realm at their age, they were absolutely all first-rate existences. These young men would become the Divine Realm's new generation's powerhouses in the future.
These people's strength should all be almost on par. As for who could win in the end, it might still have to depend on live performance.
But with so many genius martial artists, there was bound to be some dark horses that pop out.
What made people the most surprised was that there was actually still a Phaseless Realm martial artist among the top 16.
That was a youth dressed in black clothing. His face was handsome, but that pair of deep eyes told everyone that this person was not to be trifled with.
"Where this did Lin Chao pop out from? Heard that in his last fight, he defeated a Rank One Holy Land's genius martial artist and advanced."
"On his data wrote that he came from the Divine Martial Hall. But what kind of faction is this Divine Martial Hall? Never seemed to have heard it before!"
"Reckon that it's just a small faction. This Lin Chao being able to advance is actually good luck as well. His tournament region actually doesn't have Dao Profound Realm geniuses. Otherwise, it would definitely have nothing to do with him anymore."
"En, makes sense. There was a Rank One Holy Land's Dao Profound Realm genius who was unlucky and got put in the same group as Zhou Bufan. The result was abysmal."
The final 16 people who were decided, the vast majority were actually within expectations. But a dark horse like Lin Chao became everyone's topic of conversation.
Lin Chao stood on stage, and looked at everything below the stage coldly, sneeringly coldly in his heart, "Ye Yuan, when you see me, you'll definitely get a huge shock, right? This time, I'll personally defeat you, and then make you watch me marry your woman!"
If Ye Yuan was here, he would recognize that this Lin Chao was precisely the Endless World Purple Mansion Sect's Lin Chao!
Back then, he was beaten to serious injuries by Ye Yuan and dying. In the end, he disappeared.
It was unexpected that he would actually show up in the Divine Realm now!
But the current Lin Chao's strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath. Not showing himself for many years, his cultivation realm actually already surpassed Ye Yuan's, reaching peak Phaseless Realm!
In the arena match previously, he defeated a Rank One Holy Land's young genius with ease.
It was evident that his strength was likely much stronger compared to even his cultivation realm itself.
Of course, the Bright Moon Competition this time, the top favorite was still Zhuo Bufan.
The foundation of a super holy land was not what ordinary people could imagine. Even existences like the Ten Great Divine Kings did not dare to rashly provoke a super holy land either.
Zhuo Bufan, this super holy land's successor, his strength was naturally extraordinary.
However, Lin Chao, who was only at the peak Ninth Level Phaseless Realm, seemed to think nothing of him.
...
At this time, the Yue Mengli who cultivated the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, the divine soul in her sea of consciousness actually transformed into a mass of chaos 1 !
"Li-er, now it has reached the most critical moment, splitting the divine soul! This process is very painful, and it is also very dangerous! Consume the Soul Separating Pill first. When your divine soul splits into two, it will restore your two damaged divine souls with the greatest speed, and ensure that you tide over the most dangerous juncture! In order to prepare for the worst, my soul force will enter your sea of consciousness to assist you!" Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression.
Splitting the divine soul, even a powerhouse like Ye Yuan needed to be very cautious as well. A moment of carelessness, and it would be the outcome of the soul dissipating.
Ye Yuan had the help of the Soul Suppressing Pearl and would not have any problems. But Yue Mengli did not. Hence, Ye Yuan also made perfectly sound preparations, attempting to lower the risk to the minimum.
Yue Mengli drew a deep breath and nodded her head slightly as she said, "Alright, I'm starting!"
Yue Mengli started splitting her divine soul according to the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art's incantation! Right at the start, the feeling of pain that penetrated to the depths of the heart engulfed her entire body like lightning.
"Ugh …"
At this time, Yue Mengli's divine soul was not being torn at by two kinds of spirit physiques, but truly tearing apart!
This sort of agony was a hundred times stronger than the ripping!
Ye Yuan's expression was also very ugly. He said in a solemn voice, "The fighting spirit is aroused by the first roll of drums, depleted by the second, and exhausted by the third! Li-er, you mustn't give up halfway!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yue Mengli no longer hesitated, revolving the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art desperately.
That cloud of chaos gradually divided into two like cells dividing!
At the same time, the Soul Separating Pill's medicinal str
ength finally unleashed its effect. A bout of gentle energy gradually wrapped the two clouds of bisected chaos up and started restoring with all its might.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that Yue Mengli's Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art's revolving got slower and slower.
Ye Yuan's expression changed. He knew that Yue Mengli almost could not hold on anymore. This sort of tearing pain was simply what normal people could not imagine.
"Persevere, Li-er!" Ye Yuan shouted.
Yet, Yue Mengli's consciousness already gradually blurred, completely unable to hear Ye Yuan's words anymore.
At this rate, Yue Mengli would die for sure!
Although he had long anticipated that this hurdle was not easy to cross, Ye Yuan did not think that it was difficult to this sort of extent.
Ye Yuan knew that Yue Mengli was tormented by the two types of spirit physiques all year round. Her divine soul was actually already incredibly weak. Using the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art would cause a massive load on the divine soul.
But Ye Yuan had no other options as well.
If she still did not use the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, Yue Mengli's condition would become increasingly worse.
"Damn it!"
Ye Yuan clenched his teeth. A boundless soul force charged towards Yue Mengli's chaos divine soul and frenziedly repaired the damage brought about by the tearing.
However, it was still trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water!
Yue Mengli's consciousness became more and more feeble. That bisected chaos gradually became faint, and was actually going to utterly dissipate! The chaos used here refers to: at the beginning of the universe, there was only chaos.
Chapter 943 - Enchanting Springtime Sight
Ye Yuan's soul force poured towards Yue Mengli without heed for his own life, attempting to salvage the deteriorating situation.
However, Yue Mengli's life was trickling away at high-speed at this time. Even if Ye Yuan desperately plugged it up, he was powerless to turn the tides too.
"Damn it! Soul Suppressing Pearl, aren't you very powerful? Quickly save Li-er!" Ye Yuan was very anxious and could not help cursing.
At this very moment, the only method Ye Yuan could think of was the Soul Suppressing Pearl!
Yet, no matter how he swore, the Soul Suppressing Pearl did not have any reaction.
Very soon, Ye Yuan's soul force was exhausted fully, while Yue Mengli's divine soul became increasingly fainter, already on the verge of disappearing.
Ye Yuan could not care about anything else. His divine soul tunneled into Yue Mengli's sea of consciousness with a whoosh, fusing together with her divine soul.
He poured his own divine soul's origin power crazily into Yue Mengli's divine soul, only in hopes of being able to save Yue Mengli!
Pouring in origin power was equivalent to burning his own divine soul. Even if he could save Yue Mengli, it would be very hard for himself to survive.
Ye Yuan was using his own life as the price to save Yue Mengli here!
Sure enough, under this virtually insane action of Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli's divine soul finally recovered some vitality and condensed together once more.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help being overjoyed. His origin power poured into Yue Mengli's divine soul with even less heed for his life.
For a moment, the two people's divine souls started to mix together in perfect harmony.
"Urgh … Ye Yuan, you … What are you doing? You don't want your life anymore?"
Finally, Yue Mengli recovered some consciousness and discovered Ye Yuan's crazy action, and involuntarily turned pale with fright.
She was very clear what Ye Yuan doing this signified!
But Ye Yuan did not care at all. He beamed radiantly and said, "Letting me watch you die, I can't do it. Don't care about me, carry on revolving the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art and divide the divine soul! Quickly, otherwise, the two of us will die!"
Yue Mengli clenched her teeth tightly. Her heart was dripping blood.
She never thought that cultivating the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, the final result was actually like this.
If she had long anticipated this conclusion, she would have rather died than cultivate it.
But she knew that what Ye Yuan said was right. If she was indecisive, the two of them would have to die!
What she could do now was to finish the divine soul division as soon as possible. This way, Ye Yuan would no longer need to pour origin power into her.
Yue Mengli's tears were like they broke the dam, flowing down unceasingly.
As tears ran down her face, she revolved the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, accelerating the divine soul's fission.
At this very moment, the pain of the divine soul splitting could not match up to a one-ten thousandth of her heartache!
Yue Mengli felt like somebody was carrying a knife, and gouging out her heart's flesh blade by blade.
Gradually, Yue Mengli's divine soul became increasingly thicker, while Ye Yuan's divine soul became fainter and fainter.
His life was rapidly fading away.
Suddenly, Yue Mengli's entire body trembled. Her divine soul finally split into two!
The Soul Separating Pill and Ye Yuan's origin power was repairing her injuries frenziedly.
"Ye Yuan, quickly stop!" Yue Mengli felt like she was almost suffocating, shouting herself hoarse.
That illusionary divine soul of Ye Yuan's smiled slightly and said, "No need to worry, Li-er, I don't believe that it's able to watch me die!"
Yue Mengli froze. She had yet to figure out what was going on when she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and she suddenly ended up in darkness.
Arriving at this stretch of dark space, Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief, separating himself away from Yue Mengli's divine soul.
"Ye Yuan, a-are you alright?"
Yue Mengli was still a mass of chaos currently. No, wait, it should be two masses of chaos. That voice originated from within the chaos.
Ye Yuan's body was already incomparably faint as if it could dissipate at any time.
"Arriving here, we should both be safe already! Quickly revolve the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art and restore your main body!" Ye Yuan said.
Although she did not understand what was going on, Yue Mengli still complied.
Right at this time, motes of fluorescent light appeared inside the dark space, akin to a resplendent galaxy; simply too beautiful to take in all at once.
Very soon, Yue Mengli recovered to her original body's appearance, and actually became the appearance of two Yue Mengli.
Only to see Yue Mengli reciting the incantation silently. One of the figures directly scurried into the other body, and actually fused into one!
Seeing the situation, Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, "Heh, finally succeeded! In the future, you won't have to suffer the pain of the divine soul tearing anymore!"
But Yue Mengli did not care about this. She went forward to support Ye Yuan and rebuked, "You were too reckless! Expending so much origin power at all once, you'll die! If you die, what's the point of me living alone?"
When Ji Qingyun, Yue Mengli was already overwhelmed with grief to the extent of wishing to die. At that time, she still did not have anything going on with Ji Qingyun.
Now that she obtained Ye Yuan's acknowledgment, it was considered secretly pledging herself for life. If Ye Yuan died, she would definitely follow and depart without the slightest hesitation!
Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "I said before, we're going to reach the peak together! If you die first, even if I roam the Divine Realm unhindered, what's the point? Although I wasn't very certain, I know that it will save me! It's just that I never thought that it would actually drag you in too."
Yue Mengli's eyes flickered, and she said curiously, "What on earth is it? Where are we? It seems like … our divine souls are imprisoned."
"This place is the Soul Suppressing Pearl's space. As for
what the hell it is, I don't know how to say it either. However, it should be a very remarkable divine item!" Ye Yuan said.
At this time, those countless fluorescent light actually moved, and swarmed towards Ye Yuan here!
The fluorescent lights directly landed on Ye Yuan, and actually let his body condense anew.
Seeing this inconceivable sight, the Yue Mengli who was always calm could not help opening her mouth wide.
"This … How magical! These fluorescent lights are actually able to replenish your origin power!" Yue Mengli said in wonder.
The divine soul's origin power was akin to the martial artist's blood essence; the most essential existence.
Furthermore, once the divine soul's origin power was depleted, it was even harder to replenish than blood essence.
Ye Yuan virtually exhausted his origin power in order to save her and already reached the point where the oil ran out, and the lamp was expiring; possible to die at any moment. But these fluorescent light actually directly replenished Ye Yuan's origin power back.
This scene was too magical!
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This is nothing. The last time, my divine soul was practically torn into shreds, and the Soul Suppressing Pearl helped me to restore it."
Yue Mengli was startled and had a deeper understanding toward this Soul Suppressing Pearl's miraculousness. It was just that she did not think that Ye Yuan actually encountered such a dangerous incident before.
Ye Yuan saw that she was curious and recounted the matter of running into Fiendgod Jia Lan in the boneyard, making Yue Mengli endlessly shocked.
"There's actually really a fiend race in this world! The fiendgod coming into being, a storm of great bloodshed is probably going to be stirred up in the Divine Realm!" Yue Mengli said worriedly.
Ye Yuan nodded his head, but said with a bitter smile, "What's giving me a headache now is, how should we go out! The last time, I was trapped for a full one year's time!"
Chapter 944 - Powerful Lin Chao
"One year! Then when we go out, wouldn't the flowers have turned yellow?" Yue Mengli said in shock.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Either way, I can't control this space at all. When we go out is entirely its call."
