Chapter 1098: Divine Transformation Power, Soul Lock Ancestor
Divine Transformation Power, Soul Lock Ancestor
"Peak Nascent Soul stage? Hahaha!" The Soul Lock Ancestor laughed contemptuously.
The Soul Lock Ancestor had originally been somewhat wary, wondering if He Yi Ming was hiding his true cultivation level.
Or perhaps there was a powerful backer behind him?
For instance, behind He Yi Ming from the Flame Sect, there might be several Divine Transformation realm elders?
As a result, He Yi Ming appeared in person, and indeed, his true cultivation level was the genuine Peak Nascent Soul stage strength. Furthermore, there were no other Divine Transformation realm powerhouses hiding in the shadows.
This reassured the Soul Lock Ancestor.
"Just you?" He Yi Ming's gaze shifted, cautiously probing once more with his spiritual sense, and he confirmed that only the Soul Lock Ancestor was present!
Well, it seemed there were no ambushes, and no other hidden Divine Transformation realm experts.
With this, He Yi Ming felt at ease.
"He Yi Ming, I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to join me now, I can accept you as a disciple! Grant you the highest status! In the future, when I ascend to the higher levels of the God-Demon Tower, I can even grant you this Soul Lock Domain and the Soul Lock Hall!" With confidence, the Soul Lock Ancestor began to extend his offer.
In the eyes of the Soul Lock Ancestor, this was an extraordinary opportunity for He Yi Ming. A Divine Transformation realm expert like himself personally promised to take him in as a disciple. It was an incredible stroke of luck!
"Just you? Haha!"
"A Divine Transformation realm expert wants to be my master? It's a pity, you're not worthy!"
...
He Yi Ming responded calmly, directly rejecting the offer.
In He Yi Ming's heart, only that lazy, beautiful figure deserved to be called his master!
As for the Soul Lock Ancestor?
Killing him and using the Soul Lock Ancestor's Divine Transformation realm position to prove his own path, wasn't that a great idea?
"Fine, since you're seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish!!!" The Soul Lock Ancestor stopped wasting words and focused his mind!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Within a radius of thousands of miles, the world trembled violently. The entire region turned dark, and countless enormous chains shot up into the sky!
In the span of a breath, He Yi Ming and the players of Starfall Palace were drawn into the unique space of the Soul Lock Ancestor!
Soul Lock Domain!
"He Yi Ming, you simply don't understand the power of the Divine Transformation realm!!! Let me show you!!!" The hoarse voice of the Soul Lock Ancestor resounded.
However, He Yi Ming raised his hand and struck with a single blow!
"Sword Intent, Against the Heavens!"
In the next moment, a virtual sword emerged from He Yi Ming's hand, and a sword energy spanning thousands of meters surged across the sky, directly shattering the Soul Lock Ancestor and his massive avatar behind him!
But soon, He Yi Ming was taken aback!
Because he clearly saw that the physical body of the Soul Lock Ancestor had been destroyed by his attack!
Yet, in the blink of an eye, the Soul Lock Ancestor's avatar appeared again!
"Hahaha! Isn't it strange? Why can't you kill me? Because I have long transcended the limitations of the physical body!" The eerie voice of the Soul Lock Ancestor resounded once more, and a slightly ethereal figure appeared in front of his avatar!
From head to toe, he appeared like smoke, with forty chains emanating from his chest, extending into the sky above his head.
This illusory figure was the Soul Lock Ancestor's manifested soul!
However, He Yi Ming sensed that there was something eerie about this soul!
"Sword Intent, Against the Heavens!!!" He Yi Ming struck with a backhand blow once again!
"Boom!!!" The Soul Lock Ancestor's soul was shattered by He Yi Ming's sword once more!
But within a breath, the Soul Lock Ancestor's soul once again condensed!
"!" This time, He Yi Ming was truly astonished!
Even though he had just annihilated the Soul Lock Ancestor's physical body and shattered his soul!
Why was he still not dead?
Could a Divine Transformation realm powerhouse achieve immortality?
That couldn't be possible!
"He Yi Ming, I've long transcended the limitations of the physical body! My path is called the Soul Lock!"
"Take a look at this!"
...
The Soul Lock Ancestor waved his soul, and with a resounding roar, forty enormous spherical masses formed by the surrounding chains descended.
Each sphere was thousands of meters in size.
"I've split my own soul into forty parts and integrated them into these forty strongest soul beasts!"
"Within this realm of the Soul Lock Domain!"
"My soul is connected to these forty most powerful soul beasts, sharing life and death!"
"You could kill me ten thousand times, but you wouldn't be able to kill me!"
"My path is the Soul Lock, and my soul is locked within these forty most powerful soul beasts. In the Soul Lock Domain, I'm eternally immortal!"
...
The Soul Lock Ancestor's soul burst into hearty laughter, then raised his hand!
"Crack! Crack! Scrape!" Accompanied by the sound of shattering, the forty enormous chains surrounding the spheres collapsed in unison. Then, forty horrifying and fierce soul beasts emerged!
Some resembled fierce tigers, while others appeared as six-armed giant apes. Some had nine snake heads, while others were half-human, half-beast hybrids.
Some were composed entirely of condensed flames, some were pitch black like ink, and some were like flowing water, taking shape!
Each soul beast had a seventh-rank Heaven Devil soul at its core, and it had assimilated the lingering souls of over ten thousand powerful demon beasts and spirit beasts. Furthermore, they possessed diverse postures, abilities, and attributes!
This was the Soul Lock Ancestor's ultimate trump card: forty soul beasts!
"!" He Yi Ming activated his spiritual sense and quickly realized the shocking scene!
Each of these forty soul beasts was connected to the Soul Lock Ancestor's soul!
When He Yi Ming had just annihilated the Soul Lock Ancestor's soul, the power of his soul had flowed from these forty soul beasts, allowing the Soul Lock Ancestor's soul to recondense!
"I see..." He Yi Ming understood in an instant!
This Soul Lock Ancestor's path was indeed extraordinary!
In order to achieve immortality, he had actually split his own true soul into forty parts and merged them with the forty soul beasts!
In doing so, even if thirty-nine of these forty soul beasts were eliminated, the power of the Soul Lock Ancestor's soul integrated within the remaining one would activate, resurrecting the Soul Lock Ancestor, and subsequently, the thirty-nine other soul beasts!
At the level of He Yi Ming and the Soul Lock Ancestor, glimpsing each other's details was like seeing through each other's intentions.
However, understanding was one thing; finding a solution was another!
To deal with the Soul Lock Ancestor, the only viable method was...
Simultaneously killing all forty soul beasts and the Soul Lock Ancestor's original soul! Only this way could they prevent mutual resurrection!
"Hehe, He Yi Ming, I'm sure you've understood by now!"
"But you still have no way out!"
"I know you possess the power of Heavenly Fire!"
"Unfortunately, this place is the independent world of the Soul Lock Domain, which I spent ten thousand years refining! Here, you simply cannot summon the power of Heavenly Fire!" The Soul Lock Ancestor said with a sinister grin.
"!" He Yi Ming attempted to summon Heavenly Fire and realized he could, but it was greatly restricted!
The power of Heavenly Fire he summoned was almost weakened by ninety percent!
In this state, even if he could summon Heavenly Fire, its effectiveness would be severely limited. It might be sufficient to deal with ordinary opponents, but against a Divine Transformation realm powerhouse like the Soul Lock Ancestor?
That would be suicidal!
The moment he entered the world of the Soul Lock Domain, ninety percent of his Heavenly Fire power was suppressed!
"I see, so this is the advantage of the world of the Soul Lock Domain!" He Yi Ming's expression grew solemn.
[Soul Lock Ancestor is the first true Divine Transformation powerhouse in the story! The descendant of the Crimson Emperor and the 4th member of the Black-Garbed Cult are not truly self-enlightened in their paths; one relies on bloodline, the other on the power of a sinister god. Only the Soul Lock Ancestor is a genuine self-enlightened Divine Transformation powerhouse who broke through the mortal path to the divine. He leverages the world of the Soul Lock Domain and his Soul Lock path, achieving an ability similar to infinite healing, resurrection, and blood-sealing mechanics.]
[For the clever experts out there, take a guess at how the protagonist will counter this!]
