This scene chilled the hearts of onlookers. So this was how Yin soldiers were formed. It was truly terrifying.
Many people worried that they too would be corrupted by the Yin soldiers and become one of them, attacking ferociously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fierce battles erupted from all sides.
Naturally, Ye Chen also encountered the Yin soldiers. It must be said that these Yin soldier legions were truly fearsome, with astonishing combat power. Ordinary Heavenly Kings would immediately retreat upon encountering them, not daring to face them head-on, lest they be easily corrupted and become one of the Yin soldiers.
Of course, this did not include Ye Chen. His body was like a furnace, his blood energy boiling, supremely yang and vigorous, akin to a divine furnace unleashing the might of a blazing sun—the best method for dealing with lingering spirits.
Moreover, he possessed the Chaos Saint Body, with the characteristics of the Battle Sacred Body, his blood energy incomparably fierce and yang. Although these Yin soldier legions possessed little intelligence, they instinctively sensed the danger and thus avoided him, not daring to approach. For if they got too close, they would melt away even before Ye Chen made a move.
However, Ye Chen directly reached out and grabbed several Yin soldiers. His divine soul power, vast and world-shaking, swept over them, searching their Spiritual Sense, wanting to know where they came from and where they were going, for the destination of these Yin soldiers had always seemed incredibly mysterious, arousing curiosity.
Yet, after Ye Chen explored their Spiritual Sense, he found only blankness, obtaining little useful information.
Still, the appearance of these Yin soldiers within the Emperor's Tomb was a special clue, worthy of speculation.
At the same time, Ye Chen saw the Sun God's son, radiant like a blazing sun, not much inferior to himself. The blazing sun enveloping his body even flared up many times brighter, shooting out wisps of fiery light that incinerated swathes of Yin soldiers.
These Yin soldiers were lingering spirits to begin with. Once touched by such supremely yang and vigorous fiery light, they quickly melted away with a sizzle, utterly turning to ashes.
The other young generation's supremes were naturally not lacking either. Those who could achieve the status of young generation's supreme were no true weaklings. For example, Beiming Qi, a young generation's supreme from the Primordial Immortal Realm, had Immortal Qi swirling around his body—the purest Dao power. He manifested various Dao arts, lotuses blooming with each step, easily blocking the attacks of these Yin soldiers. His Immortal Qi surged, directly dissolving Yin soldiers one after another.
Sheng Tian, riding his sacred unicorn steed, soared into the heavens. His sacred aura was astonishing, and holy light was one of the strongest means against lingering spirits. He too could melt away swathes of the Yin soldier legion in an instant.
On another side, the Fallen Angel, the Great Demon Gu Tian, and other young generation's supremes took action one after another, dealing with these Yin soldiers with ease, as if blowing away dust.
Although the other ancient path trial-takers were not as powerful as the young generation's supremes, they were, after all, capable individuals who had braved the eighteen passes. Each possessed extraordinary methods, continuously blocking and even killing Yin soldiers.
The other powerhouses in the Star Sky were the same. Although there were losses, with several ancient Great Sages taking action and Guardian Great Abilities providing protection, and given that the Yin soldier legion ultimately lacked truly powerful leaders, the Yin soldier legion finally retreated in defeat.
Crack!
Suddenly, an unusual sound was heard. Following the source, it came from the Star River that hung down to the ninth heaven.
Abruptly, it was seen that within that resplendent Star River, the figures that were either seated cross-legged or lying upon it suddenly opened their tightly shut eyes. Cold, emotionless gazes shot forth, accompanied by the intangible howls of ghosts and wails of gods, as if the most terrifying group of demons and monsters in the world were about to emerge.
In that instant, everyone was terrified, their hearts chilled. Even Ye Chen and the other young generation's supremes, as well as those ancient Great Sages, suddenly changed color.
For these living beings were truly powerful existences, including peerless powerhouses who had shaken their domains in life and Ancient Ancestors of great powerful races. They were far beyond comparison with these Yin soldiers. Now, they were all about to emerge, causing everyone to pale.
Were they all going to have to battle these fearsome living beings?
Just thinking of this possibility made everyone's expressions change in an instant.
At the same time, the powerful living beings within the Star River strode down one after another, arriving on the ground, looking coldly and emotionlessly at the powerhouses, their eyes exuding nothing but the aura of death.
All the powerhouses focused intently, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. This included the Great Power ancestors of the several powerful races in the Star Sky and the Guardian Great Abilities of the Ultimate Ancient Path, their auras vast and mighty.
Whoosh! These terrifying living beings suddenly moved, darting forward with lightning speed, astonishingly fast.
Among them, the Ancient Ancestor Great Power of the Bright Clan instantly appeared before a Heavenly King of a powerful race. However, before that Heavenly King could even resist or react, this Ancient Ancestor passed right through him, tearing the Heavenly King directly into two halves, flesh and blood shattering, a miserable sight.
Even the divine soul was directly torn apart, grabbed by the Bright Clan's Ancient Ancestor and swallowed into his mouth, emitting a piercing scream.
This scene was horrifying. Clearly an old man wreathed in light, yet appearing so sinister and terrifying, sending chills down the spine.
And it wasn't just this Ancient Ancestor alone. There were other terrifying living beings, each one approaching the powerhouses, then whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—their bodies suddenly moved, charging at the powerhouses, swift as thunder, difficult to evade.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
It was visible to the naked eye. These existences that emerged from the Star River were each like ferocious ghosts, far more terrifying than the Yin soldier legion. Their figures were swift as thunder, easily tearing apart the bodies of powerhouses one after another, devouring their divine souls, like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
In the blink of an eye, among the powerhouses who had come, over a hundred were slaughtered. More than half were Heavenly Kings, top experts from the various powerful races of the Star Sky, and also ancient path trial prodigies who had braved countless dangers. Each was powerful, a true elite. Yet, facing these terrifying living beings, they seemed utterly weak, not worth a single blow, sending chills down the spines of the remaining powerhouses.
"So strong!"
Boom!
Among them, a terrifying living being charged at Ye Chen. It was a fearsome Ape Race member, about three zhang tall, its fur grayish-white, appearing somewhat aged, but undoubtedly a terrifying existence. Even Ye Chen felt a terrifying aura emanating from it and dared not be the slightest bit careless.
Crack!
This three-zhang-tall Ape Race great menace came down with a massive claw, larger than Ye Chen's entire body. The void was easily torn apart, and even Dao principles were shattered. This single strike could absolutely crush an ordinary Heavenly King on the spot.
