Chapter 176: Spectral Soul Captured !
After Duke Long said that, his aura changed abruptly.
It was condensing and solidifying.
Purple Mountain True Monarch acted like he was facing a strong foe.
He could sense that Duke Long in this condition was much more dangerous than Duke Long with overwhelming aura!
Roar!
Duke Long opened his mouth and roared.
Next, he vanished entirely on the spot.
"Oh no!" Purple Mountain True Monarch's heart sank.
Almost at the same time as Duke Long roared, Purple Mountain True Monarch reacted.
In their earlier combat, Purple Mountain True Monarch had seen through the secret of Duke Long's teleportation, at this moment, he used the same method again, eradicating the sound of the dragon's roar around him.
Indeed, at the next moment, Duke Long stopped moving, he reappeared in front of Purple Mountain True Monarch.
But this time, he did not succeed in getting close, he was still several hundred steps away from Purple Mountain True Monarch.
But to Duke Long, this was enough distance.
"Human qi retraction!" He shouted, waving at Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Purple Mountain True Monarch suffered a huge blow.
A huge amount of human qi gushed out of his body and flew towards Duke Long uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, it entered Duke Long's palm and vanished!
After losing such a huge amount of human qi, Purple Mountain True Monarch's eye sockets sank in, his expression turned pale and his bright purple hair became dull, he felt an intense feeling of weakness in his head and throughout his entire body.
Purple Mountain True Monarch retreated.
He used his methods to create countless clones.
At once, hundreds of Purple Mountain True Monarchs flew out randomly.
At the same time, his main body vanished.
However, Duke Long was unmoved, he laughed coldly as his voice spread throughout the battlefield, even though he was not loud: "It is too late, Purple Mountain True Monarch, you were hit by human qi retraction, there is no way for you to dodge the next two styles, you can only endure it!"
"Come, earth qi retraction." Duke Long paused before waving again.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was greatly shocked!
A vast amount of earth qi flew out of his immortal aperture, raging on like a storm towards Duke Long's palm, before vanishing without a trace.
Purple Mountain True Monarch's immortal aperture was greatly damaged, his foundations were crippled and his three qi had lost balance long ago, his immortal aperture was going to break apart in a few breaths' time.
He stretched out his arm and grabbed at his stomach, before an eerie purple light shined in his hand, as his hand pulled away from his stomach slowly.
With his movement, the immortal aperture was taken out.
Purple Mountain True Monarch took out his immortal aperture and placed it in the outside world.
The immortal aperture's entrance opened and began to take in earth qi.
But this grotto-heaven had little hope of salvation, even if the earth qi was regained, human qi was too lacking.
Seeing Purple Mountain True Monarch's resolution, Duke Long was slightly shocked, a look of admiration flashed on his face for a moment.
Meanwhile Fang Yuan nurtured the upper extreme heavenly eagle while manipulating the super Gu formation and resisting Fairy Zi Wei.
"Indeed worthy of Duke Long." Purple Mountain True Monarch spoke, expressing his admiration towards Duke Long.
"In this battle, I am bullying a junior, if you were not someone who is defying fate, we might be able to sit down and have a nice conversation. After all, in this world, there are too few people who can register my interest."
"However, I believe that in the near future, the entire world will brighten up, it will become incredibly exciting."
"And I will be the person to unveil this great new era!"
Duke Long sighed, starting to chase after Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Purple Mountain True Monarch fought and retreated, he was completely suppressed.
But at this time, the battle between Purple Mountain True Monarch and Duke Long had a new development.
A blessed land's entrance suddenly opened, as a huge soul beast army appeared from within.
Purple Mountain True Monarch relied on these soul beasts to block Duke Long's attacks as he retreated into the blessed land.
It was the blessed land containing the door of life and death.
The soul beast army disregarded sacrifices, attacking Duke Long in a suicidal manner.
Purple Mountain True Monarch passed through the immortal aperture's entrance with the help of the soul beasts, entering Shadow Sect's blessed land.
The appearance of the soul beast army did not turn the situation around, it only gave Purple Mountain True Monarch some time to regain his footing.
"Fang Yuan, let out your upper extreme heavenly eagle, what are you waiting for?" At the same time, Purple Mountain True Monarch continued to ask Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan didn't reply and stayed silent.
Duke Long did not pursue Purple Mountain True Monarch, he stopped his movement.
Duke Long's lips curled upwards, for the first time, he showed a natural smile.
He suddenly turned around, charging somewhere with the speed of lightning.
"You finally decided to come out? Spectral Soul!" He shouted, attacking as air currents raged, turning into a huge claw that grabbed at an area in the soul beast army.
"He found out!" Purple Mountain True Monarch felt like he had fallen into an icy river.
From the soul beast army, a human shaped soul emerged, he did not evade Duke Long, he attacked.
Boom!
Even the powerful Duke Long was sent flying, while that human shaped soul remained unmoved.
"Hahaha." Duke Long spat out blood but he laughed: "Spectral Soul, you are truly at your weakest."
"Damn it!" Purple Mountain True Monarch quickly charged ahead, trying to reinforce him, panic showed on his face for the first time.
"Too late!" Duke Long laughed, stretching his arms as his dragon claws tore through space, forcing Purple Mountain True Monarch to retreat.
Duke Long attacked Spectral Soul again, air currents raged like dragons, entangling with Spectral Soul's main body.
The human shaped soul roared, forcefully defending against Duke Long's methods.
Duke Long's dragon eyes shined with intense fighting spirit: "You want to resist me?"
"Oh Spectral Soul, if you were still a rank nine, I would avoid you at all costs, I would escape to the ends of the world."
"But now, you are just a remnant soul. Your Gu worms and immortal essence are not with you."
"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I'll tell you the truth, I am here to capture and imprison you within Heavenly Court. So that the entire world will understand the supreme might and glory of my Heavenly Court!!"
The human shaped soul was still struggling, while Purple Mountain True Monarch attacked Duke Long like he had gone mad.
Duke Long defended against the latter easily while he looked at the human shaped soul.
He said arrogantly: "Still going to struggle pointlessly?"
"In the past, even Red Lotus Demon Venerable was stopped by me!"
"Now, surrender to me!!"
As he said that, Spectral Soul's main body was unable to defend against Duke Long's methods, he was trapped by a cage created from countless air currents.
"The great era is coming, antiques like myself should quietly lie down and stop trying to become the main characters of the current era. Oh Spectral Soul, your era is long gone."
Duke Long sighed as he stretched out his hand, air currents moved and carried Spectral Soul as it entered his phantom aperture.
"Ah—!" Purple Mountain True Monarch screamed at the sky, his eyes were bloodshot.
He breathed in deeply and moved towards a deeper part of Shadow Sect's blessed land.
"Running? Where do you think you're going?" Duke Long floated in the air, his dragon eyes looked towards Purple Mountain True Monarch with a cold gaze.
The entrance of Shadow Sect's blessed land closed, and the soul beast army stopped charging out, they returned to defend it.
Duke Long laughed arrogantly, he turned around to look at the super Gu formation and saw that Fairy Zi Wei was making good progress, he aimed at the location of Shadow Sect's blessed land and used an immortal killer move —
Dragon Gate!
The dragon gate opened, the interior of Shadow Sect's blessed land could be seen.
This immortal killer move, dragon gate, could forcefully open blessed lands!
Duke Long laughed, stepping in as the dragon gate closed, before vanishing.
There was an intense battle in the blessed land, but there was no commotion outside, the entire battlefield fell into a peculiar silence.
"What do we do?" Southern Border's righteous path Gu Immortals looked at each other.
Suddenly, they realized that they had no enemies left.
Purple Mountain True Monarch against Duke Long, they were inside Shadow Sect's blessed land. Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, Ying Wu Xie, and the rest were hiding inside the dream realms with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies.
The only things moving in the battlefield were soul beasts.
"Wu Yi Hai, quickly send us into the Gu formation." The Southern Border righteous path Gu Immortals quickly requested.
Wu Yi Hai ordered: "Everyone, work hard to kill these soul beasts! Our reinforcements are coming closer. These soul beasts were sent by the enemy, killing them is weakening the enemy. If we let these soul beasts leave, there would be a huge problem, this is the responsibility of the righteous path!"
These words made sense, but the Southern Border righteous path Gu Immortals did not listen to him.
"Aren't the reinforcements arriving? Let them handle it."
"That's right, I am so tired, I need to rest."
"Even if we are not injured currently, our immortal essence expenditure was huge, we need to save up our battle strength and not waste it."
Wu Yi Hai snorted: "I'm telling you to go, enough nonsense."
Southern Border's righteous path Gu Immortals scolded and cursed, but Wu Yi Hai ignored them.
Right at this moment Wu Yi Hai contacted Wu Yong.
"Elder brother, quickly lend me a hand!"
Wu Yong was controlling the Immortal Gu House and rapidly moving, hearing his brother's words, he replied: "What happened? What help do you need?"
"I am sure you know about the situation, brother, I am controlling the super Gu formation now. This is a great opportunity! It can allow our Wu clan to control this resource point and suppress the other clans, we will be free from our difficult situation!" Wu Yi Hai spoke sincerely.
Wu Yong was silent for a moment.
Wu Yong heard Wu Yi Hai's words: He could use reputation restriction Immortal Gu to reinforce the super Gu formation and gain more benefits for Wu clan.
He hesitated.
Wu Yong's hesitation did not last long, he quickly decided to act according to Wu Yi Hai's plan.
Next, Wu Yi Hai managed to borrow six Immortal Gu.
"Six Immortal Gu is about enough, if we lend more, do you have enough immortal essence to use them?" Wu Yong rejected Wu Yi Hai's request in a nice manner.
Wu Yi Hai sighed deeply: "Oh! Brother, your reminder is true, I do not have much red date immortal essence left. Brother, lend me some immortal essence stones, I need to replenish my immortal essence!"
Wu Yong did not hesitate, he approved of it. An emperor has no use for hungry soldiers, without immortal essence, all those Immortal Gu were useless. After lending out so many Immortal Gu, they had to make sure they were used properly, right?
Wu Yi Hai obtained a hundred thousand immortal essence stones.
"Use it sparingly."
"The immortal essence stones and Immortal Gu are all lent to you, remember to be vigilant and careful!"
Wu Yong told Wu Yi Hai concernedly.
Wu Yi Hai quickly acknowledged it.
Immortal Gu and immortal essence stones were transmitted over through treasure yellow heaven rapidly into Wu Yi Hai's hands.
Once Wu Yi Hai obtained them, he quickly turned the immortal essence stones into his immortal essence, while tossing those six Immortal Gu into Reverse Flow River.
Suppressing the immortal Gu worms completely.
"Demonic path members are truly insidious and greedy beyond hope. Even before death, you are still scamming others. Oh Fang Yuan, your crimes are too severe, you will die today without doubt! Forget about running away, because with me around, you have no hope of escaping." At this time, Fairy Zi Wei's voice resounded from the super Gu formation.
Wu Yi Hai sneered: "This is the result of Heavenly Court not exposing me earlier. It seems that you have no conclusive proof. Actually, even if you do, so what? Will Wu clan believe you? Will Southern Border's Gu Immortal world believe you abruptly? They will only believe in what they have verified themselves.
These righteous path forces are like this, any sort of matter would be a political scheme in their eyes."
Fairy Zi Wei was silent, she did not speak.
Fairy Zi Wei chose not to waste her effort on pointless attempts.
Her speed in invading the super Gu formation became quicker now.
Right at this moment Fang Yuan received Purple Mountain True Monarch's words: "Fang Yuan, can we continue to cooperate?"
Fang Yuan replied immediately: "Of course."
"Hehehe, very good, I was not wrong about you!"
"I will entrust everything to you. My Immortal Gu, my killer moves, my experiences… and you will not need to bear any responsibility or task."
"Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, White Rabbit, Miao Yin and Sixth Hair, they will all be your subordinates!"
"From now onwards, you will be the leader of Shadow Sect!"
