Zhang Lingyun's finger strike contained neither true True Qi nor ordinary spiritual power, but rather a power that directly affects the Origin of the soul— the Soul Power.
This is the signature power of the Land Immortal Realm.
The system had explicitly told Zhang Yu that it was a power that only beings far surpassing Grandmaster, or even Great Grandmaster, could initially grasp.
How could a small Wei Kingdom like Wei, and a Zhang Family daughter whose body had been Body Seizure, possibly use the Soul Power?
This is completely beyond common sense and defies all reason!
Faced with this incomprehensible and unpredictable finger strike, Qiu Ruobai seemed to sense a deadly threat.
His face was more solemn than ever before, and his eyes flashed with a resolute light.
"Roar--!"
A roar that seemed to come from the ancient Primordial World erupted from Qiu Ruobai's mouth.
No, that roar also seemed to contain another ancient, majestic, and divine bird cry.
His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation at that moment, as if he had become a completely different person.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from Qiu Ruobai's center.
This oppressive force, heavy as a mountain and vast as the sea, carried an ancient, sacred, and domineering aura, instantly shattering Zhang Lingyun's cold and sinister Divine Soul lock.
It even caused the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the entire Imperial City to become disordered and boiling.
This aura far surpassed the Great Early Grandmaster he had previously displayed, and even... far surpassed the Great Grandmaster Peak in the general sense, faintly touching upon another indescribable level.
"What's this?"
Zhang Yu was deeply shocked; he once again felt an incredibly clear fluctuation in his Divine Soul.
"Another Soul Power?"
Zhang Yu felt like he was becoming numb.
Didn't the system say that the Soul Power is a high-level power that only Land Immortal can master?
How could two monsters capable of wielding Soul Power suddenly appear in this remote Wei Kingdom in a single day?
Moreover, judging from this, Qiu Ruobai's Soul Power seems to carry some kind of ancient and sacred inherited aura, originating from the same source as his Blazing Sun Divine Art, and perhaps even more refined and ancient.
This instantly shook the slight confidence that Zhang Yu had gained from mastering the Spirit Soul Sword.
Faced with these two beings who seemed to be Old Monster, was his rudimentary Divine Soul attack really enough?
The crucial point is that these two Calamity Star, one wants to kill him and the other also wants to kill him. It's like being caught between a rock and a hard place, a dead end within a dead end.
"Blazing Sun... Void Breaker!"
Qiu Ruobai's voice seemed to have changed, carrying an ancient echo.
He abandoned his defense and instead chose the most ferocious attack.
A punch was thrown!
There was no dazzling burst of light, but in front of his fist, space seemed to distort slightly, and a miniature, condensed phantom of a blazing sun appeared.
The blazing sun, carrying a terrifying will to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and shatter the void, crashed head-on into the divine Divine Soul finger that Zhang Lingyun had pointed at!
At this moment, there was no earth-shattering explosion, no violent energy surge.
The two attacks, imbued with the Soul Power, collided silently.
However, the real danger far exceeds any clash of True Qi!
A terrifying fluctuation, transcending ordinary senses and directly affecting the soul, swept outwards in all directions like an invisible Dimensional Storm, centered on the point of impact.
Those who felt this terrifying fluctuation most directly were the Yuhua Prefecture prodigies and their protectors who were watching from afar.
"Puff--!"
"Ah--!"
Qiao Muyun, Lie Wushuang, and the others, regardless of their Cultivation level, all had their expressions change drastically the moment the fluctuation swept over them, as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.
They felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing their heads, and their souls were about to leave their bodies and be torn apart.
The excruciating pain caused them to scream in agony, clutching their heads and collapsing to the ground, with traces of blood even seeping from their seven orifices.
Their supposedly superior Cultivation and spiritual power were as fragile as paper in the face of such a powerful Divine Soul shockwave!
"Young Master, run!"
Beside Qiao Muyun, an elderly protector whose strength had reached the mid-stage of Great Grandmaster level and who had been concealing his aura issued a warning.
At this moment, the protector was also deathly pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with boundless fear and horror.
"This is... this is Old Monster that has crossed the line between immortals and mortals, and they are fighting."
Their level of power far exceeds our imagination.
"If we stay any longer, the aftershocks alone will be enough to annihilate us."
The old man no longer cared about hiding. He grabbed the writhing Qiao Muyun and fled frantically towards the outskirts of the Imperial City without looking back.
What fortuitous opportunity or the Azure Wood Sacred Body are worthless in the face of life.
"Walk!"
"Run!"
The protectors of Lie Wushuang and the others reacted just as quickly. They understood the terror of that silent collision even better than their Young Master. It was a level that they could not comprehend or resist.
No longer caring about their dignity or mission, they grabbed their suffering prodigies and transformed into streaks of light, fleeing the area at the fastest speed they had ever seen.
They were terrified that if they were even a step too slow, they would be completely annihilated by that invisible storm of Divine Soul.
"This is a ghost!"
How could such beings be fighting each other in a small Wei Kingdom?
Lie Wushuang, held under the arm of his protector, roared with lingering fear as the wind whistled past his ears. His face was pale.
"And Qiu Ruobai, how come he's also..."
Qiao Muyun also turned pale.
The piercing pain in his soul just now still lingers in his mind, leaving him with lingering fear.
The sacred and ancient pressure emanating from Qiu Ruobai also made her feel suffocated.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness we didn't get involved rashly..."
Qiao Muyun clutched her still throbbing head, her voice trembling.
At this moment, they felt only endless relief and lingering fear; the idea of vying for the Azure Wood Sacred Body was completely forgotten.
The battle was at a high level, and even the aftershocks nearly caused these so-called geniuses and protectors to perish. Getting involved would have meant certain death.
Within the Imperial City, in an area closer to the battlefield...
Those remnants of the Zhang Family who were fortunate enough to escape Zhang Lingyun's massacre, as well as some Xiao Family guards, palace maids, and eunuchs who did not have time to completely retreat into the depths of the Heavenly Prison, were not as lucky as the prodigies of Yuhua Prefecture.
"Ugh--!"
"My head! It hurts so much!"
The silent storm of Divine Soul energy swept through, and these ordinary people and low-level Martial Artist with low or no Cultivation silently, clutching their heads, barely managing to utter a half-scream.
Their Divine Soul, before the aftershocks of this level of power, were as fragile as candles in the wind, and were instantly extinguished.
Because Zhang Yu was in projection mode at the moment, he was not directly impacted.
But when that terrifying soul fluctuation swept over him, he still felt a strong dizziness and palpitations, and the projection even trembled and almost collapsed.
"Is this... a battle that truly involves the Divine Soul?"
Zhang Yu was deeply shocked, and at the same time, a strong sense of urgency and crisis welled up within him.
The level of power displayed by Qiu Ruobai and Zhang Lingyun has far exceeded his current ability to cope.
This sudden battle turned the Wei capital into a giant meat grinder.
He and the Xiao Family were on the very edge of the storm, and could be completely swallowed up at any moment!
"Evil creature,"
Qiu Ruobai, his demeanor drastically changed, spoke in a low, hoarse voice with an ancient quality, completely unlike his usual clear tone, "You really didn't die."
This short sentence reveals a shocking piece of information!
Evil creature?
Not dead?
Clearly, the Qiu Ruobai at this moment is not the real Qiu Ruobai.
Instead, his body was temporarily possessed by some ancient and powerful being.
This ancient being and the demon that possessed Zhang Lingyun's body were actually old acquaintances, and even had a deep-seated hatred for each other!
Upon hearing this weathered voice, a knowing glint flashed in Zhang Lingyun's crimson eyes.
Then she erupted with even more intense resentment and madness, letting out a sharp, piercing laugh that was filled with boundless hatred and the pleasure of revenge:
"Ha ha ha ha!
"My dear grandfather, I haven't wiped out your Jiang Family yet, how could I possibly die?"
