Chapter 2150: Chapter 2151: Revealing All Hidden Cards! (Second Update)
The tip of the Ying Long Spear pierced half an inch into Ye Qiu’s flesh and suddenly stopped.
It’s not because Tai Yi didn’t want to continue stabbing, but because he couldn’t exert any force, as his soul was tightly grasped by a withered hand.
Tai Yi Saint Heir watched in horror as the withered hand pulled his soul out of his body.
This feeling was eerily strange.
What is this ghostly thing, where did this hand come from?
Ye Qiu was clearly being restrained by him, it couldn’t possibly be Ye Qiu.
But when Tai Yi Saint Heir looked at Ye Qiu, he found Ye Qiu smiling back at him.
It really is him!
Ye Qiu smiled as he watched, Tai Yi Saint Heir’s soul body was caught by the withered hand extending from Hell’s Gate, and slowly pulled into the gate.
Tai Yi Saint Heir panicked, showing a flustered expression for the first time, as he had never faced such bizarre attacks.
Especially that withered hand continually yanking him, as if trying to drag him into another world.
Tai Yi Saint Heir had an intuition that if he truly got pulled in, he would be completely dead.
No, I, Tai Yi, am destined to lead the sect to glory, how can I die here, in the hands of a local?
The soul body constantly struggled, yet the withered hand gripped him tightly, making it impossible to escape.
Seeing that the distance to Hell’s Gate was getting closer, the breath of death pressed towards Tai Yi.
Not far away, Stone Demon Lord watched this scene, suddenly feeling a chill all over his body.
This was a premonition of danger, if the withered hand were to grab him, he feared he would surely die.
"This is..."
Staring at the withered hand and the glowing Hell’s Gate, Stone Demon Lord saw ghostly shadows flickering within, people enduring torture; it seemed like a space of hell.
Hell!
Suddenly, this word popped into Stone Demon Lord’s mind, and his expression was shocked.
"Six Paths... Six Paths... This is Ge Tian’s Six Paths Reincarnation technique, the Hell’s Gate!"
Stone Demon Lord was horrified as he finally recognized Ye Qiu’s move.
The reason Ge Tian was invincible among many powerful beings of the celestial realm was most terrifyingly because of the Six Paths Reincarnation technique.
Previously, Stone Demon Lord inadvertently heard the Sect Leader talk about Ge Tian, quite admiring Ge Tian’s martial arts prowess.
Because Ge Tian created the Six Paths Reincarnation technique, which could drag opponents into the Hell’s Gate, subjecting them to the torment of hell.
Before, Stone Demon Lord thought it was nonsense; as a Martial Artist, how could one believe in ghosts and spirits? There could be no hell in the world, even gods were merely Martial Artists with great power.
But today, when he witnessed the appearance of Hell’s Gate, especially the scenes floating inside, he had to believe it—this miraculous technique truly existed.
Stone Demon Lord’s surprise reached Tai Yi Saint Heir’s ears; as the Saint Heir of the Tai Yi Divine Sect, wouldn’t he know about Ge Tian’s powerful cultivation technique?
Is this the Six Paths Reincarnation technique?
Indeed, Ye Qiu inherited Ge Tian’s legacy, so how could he not know this technique?
The more Tai Yi Saint Heir thought about it, the more afraid he became, especially now, as the time left for him to think was scarce; his body was continually nearing Hell’s Gate.
"Even celestial-level powerhouses can’t withstand this move; am I going to die?" Tai Yi Saint Heir never imagined he would be defeated, yet death was drawing closer to him.
"I won’t die, I must lead the sect to become the greatest sect."
"I must stand atop the martial arts pinnacle, overlooking the heavens."
Suddenly, Tai Yi Saint Heir burst forth with a strong will to survive, his eyes quickly darted about, pondering how to escape the current predicament.
It’s impossible for the withered hand to let go, suddenly, Tai Yi’s gaze landed on his soul’s arm.
He thought of a solution.
Even if he didn’t want to do it, he had no choice.
"Ye Qiu, I won’t be human if I don’t kill you." Tai Yi Saint Heir roared, using his other hand to chop down on his soul’s arm.
He intended to sever one of his soul’s arms.
Once the soul arm was lost, it would mean his soul was incomplete, future martial pursuits would be exceedingly difficult, and afterward, he could only use one hand.
In the second before he severed it, Tai Yi thought of these things; if there were a second possibility, he wouldn’t do it, because he would have to pay ten times the effort to compensate for it.
But did he have a choice?
No, to survive, he had to sever his soul.
Swoosh.
Severing oneself, Tai Yi Saint Heir was also driven to desperation, otherwise, why would he make such a move?
Immediately, the sensation of his soul tearing, from bottom to top, stimulated his soul.
The soul arm was severed.
Tai Yi Saint Heir hastily retreated, his soul quickly returned to his body, distancing from Ye Qiu.
The withered hand dragged the severed arm back into Hell’s Gate, and the light instantly dimmed. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Unfortunately, couldn’t completely succeed."
Ye Qiu watched Tai Yi in the distance, at this moment, Tai Yi was glaring at him, he hadn’t anticipated Tai Yi being so ruthless to himself, even severing his own soul.
This was equivalent to breaking off part of his martial path, making future attempts to advance to celestial realms far more difficult than just doubling the effort. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
An incomplete soul makes breakthroughs incredibly tough.
Just to survive, Tai Yi nonetheless chose to sever his martial path, for him, living held hope, and with the foundation of Tai Yi Divine Sect, perhaps they could help him recover.
Ye Qiu had long escaped from the red rope, no longer under Tai Yi Saint Heir’s control, allowing the Ying Long Spear unable to completely seal his movement.
"Ye Qiu, I will definitely make you pay for this." Tai Yi’s voice echoed, still resenting Ye Qiu for the loss of one arm.
Now, Tai Yi Saint Heir’s soul had returned to place, but he could only use one hand, the other hand unable to lift, as the soul arm had been severed.
Paying such a steep price, it was no surprise Tai Yi Saint Heir resented Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu squinted his eyes, Tai Yi Saint Heir not being dead was very troubling for him, suddenly drawing upon Hell’s Gate just now, but Tai Yi Saint Heir dodged calamity.
This was the first time someone survived facing Hell’s Gate until now.
Swoosh.
Hell’s Gate reappeared, and the withered hand reached out once more.
He and Tai Yi Saint Heir had reached a state of bitter enmity, even if exhausting all efforts, he couldn’t let him leave alive.
Ye Qiu used his remaining strength to conjure Hell’s Gate again, the withered hand kept reaching for Tai Yi Saint Heir, but this time, it obviously couldn’t achieve the surprise effect as the first time, easily succeeding.
This was also a flaw of Hell’s Gate, only when taking the opponent by surprise could it easily succeed.
Tai Yi constantly dodged, making the withered hand miss frequently, seeing this, Ye Qiu immediately ceased operating Hell’s Gate.
Seeing Ye Qiu withdraw this move, Tai Yi sneered, "You’re out of strength, aren’t you? Otherwise, why would you stop?"
Tai Yi was right, Hell’s Gate couldn’t achieve the surprise effect, then its power would greatly diminish, continuing to operate it would just be a waste of energy.
"So what if that’s true, even without strength, I can still kill you." Ye Qiu said, urging Bahuang Sword and Taiding Bell to attack Tai Yi.
"Ying Long Spear!"
Tai Yi shouted, Ying Long Spear returned to his hand, beginning to clash with Bahuang Sword and Taiding Bell.
Bahuang Sword unfolded swordsmanship, combined with Taiding Bell’s continuous bombardment, Tai Yi could only confront two great artifacts with one hand.
For a moment, the sound of weapon clashes repeatedly echoed.
Through this series of encounters, Tai Yi began to show weakness, Bahuang Sword controlled by the Sword Spirit could directly confront Ying Long Spear, thus Taiding Bell posed a significant threat to Tai Yi, making Tai Yi frequently hit.
Helpless, Tai Yi could only urge Ying Long Spear, one spear against two great artifacts.
And so, the duo’s confrontation fell onto the weapon battle.
For both, this was quite an exertion.
Especially for Ye Qiu, having to split his strength in two, his body’s energy draining rapidly every second.
Getting close to a point of testing endurance.
And just while the two hadn’t yet decided a winner.
Suddenly, several powerful auras appeared, causing the confrontation to instantly halt.
Because the aura of celestial-level pressured the battlefield.
Seeing Hongyuan Holy Son, the Five Tiger Generals following three elders, slowly approaching.
