“What should we do?”

“Next time, they will probably target a few of us again.”

At this moment, the most panicked were Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe, who were skilled in soul techniques!

Mogusi was immortal, and Jimie Shizu was also one of the Nine Emperors. But Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe were much weaker physically, only slightly stronger than the two who had already died. “Among the eight Lords, only two have weak mental willpower: Jin Lingzhu and Naigu Lingzhu.”

Mogusi had lost twice and no longer had sufficient confidence.

“This time, target the weaker ones.” He had been overconfident before, and Mogusi knew Yuan very well, so this was a meticulously prepared killing move for Yuan.

This technique had a relatively weaker effect on other Lords.

The key factors in the Lords’ formation were Yuan and Luofeng, which is why they targeted these two in succession. Yuan even fell victim, losing the ability to resist.

Although Yuan recovered quickly, Mogusi found it somewhat incomprehensible.

But Luofeng… was completely unaffected, which greatly diminished Mogusi’s confidence.

“Target Jin Lingzhu!”

Mogusi and the other five launched a combined attack. The soul technique, silently and invisibly, had already enveloped Jin Lingzhu.

The eight Lords were resisting the overwhelming attacks, waiting for Moman Lingzhu to recover before initiating the “Zhou Sha Jie Zhen.”

“Hmm?” Jin’s expression suddenly changed, his eyes glowing red as he fell into a vast and immense illusion.

Jin’s personality was different from Yuan’s.

Yuan had suppressed his true nature for too long, but Jin acted very unrestrainedly. Moreover, Mengyan and Qianyan had already died, further weakening the power of the soul technique.

“Some troublesome sub-consciousnesses have appeared!”

Yet Jin managed to stay clear-headed, his red-glowing eyes scanning his surroundings. He transmitted, “Everyone, I need to divide my attention to suppress some sub-consciousnesses. I can probably only exert 60% of my strength.” “The team led by Mogusi is indeed the biggest threat.”

They actually understood this, which is why they tried every means to launch sneak attacks.

Yuan immediately transmitted, “Jin, you should rest. The four of us will act.” Moman, Luofeng, Xingmang, and Yuan, the four of them, once again cooperated to unleash the Zhou Sha Jie Zhen.

With Jin missing, the power seemingly wasn’t greatly weakened.

But sometimes, completely annihilating an Ancestor was just a matter of that much power. “Buzz!”

The Zhou Sha Jie Zhen landed on Wanchu Longmu, who was protected by multiple layers of formations.

Wanchu Longmu felt the erasure on the timeline, her core vitality being annihilated, and her core fluctuating violently. Wanchu Longmu painfully twisted her many tentacles, but she forcibly resisted it.

Her vitality was inherently stronger than Mengyan and Qianyan.

The Zhou Sha Jie Zhen’s power had also weakened, allowing her to completely withstand this attack. As long as she endured for a moment, her companions’ abundant life force would replenish her, quickly restoring her to peak condition.

“I held it off, I held it off!”

Wanchu Longmu was overjoyed.

Wuxian Shezu, Bingfeng Shizu, Shazhou, and many other Ancestors felt a sense of relief. If even the physically weak Wanchu Longmu couldn’t be killed, the pressure on the Ancestors with more formidable bodies was much less.

“A killing move that ignores all obstacles ultimately has limited power!”

Wuxian Shezu transmitted this to all parties. “Under the soul techniques, the strength of the practitioners’ side Lords will continuously weaken until they can no longer resist us.”

Mogusi’s confidence also increased a bit.

Mogusi and his companions began to deal with Naigu.

The five soul techniques once again enveloped him. In previous years, Naigu and Jin had suffered losses when facing mental attacks.

Their mental willpower was already considered extremely strong.

But among the eight Lords, they were considered the two weaker ones.

This time, they were targeted again. “Gugugu…”

Naigu Lingzhu’s eyes grew a bit colder.

He twisted his neck slightly, and one head after another grew from his neck.

Nine new heads emerged. “Naigu, how are you?”

Wulan asked with concern.

The other Lords also looked at Naigu.

Naigu Lingzhu calmly said, “My strength is unaffected. Fortunately, two Ancestors have died, so the power of this technique is much weaker. The awakened heterochromatic bloodline wills are not too strong. I can sever them with the Zhanxin Method!” “Zhanxin Method?”

Yuan’s eyes widened.

Luofeng also frowned.

They had all read Naigu Lingzhu’s inherited scriptures and knew that the Zhanxin Method was about actively severing individual sub-consciousnesses while still perfectly controlling them. This was somewhat similar to a cluster consciousness.

A cluster consciousness has a main consciousness, with the others being sub-consciousnesses.

However, this path is ultimately not as pure as a single main consciousness.

Naigu Lingzhu’s path was the Hunyuan Bloodline Path, allowing him to control a portion of an Ancestor’s bloodline. One of the difficulties was the residual bloodline will.

Naigu had long ago created the Zhanxin Method, but had never used it before.

This time, the residual bloodline wills of the various Ancestor bloodlines within him were greatly enhanced.

Naigu could no longer suppress them and had no choice but to use the Zhanxin Method, allowing the sub-consciousnesses to become independent one by one. Naigu appeared to have no loss of strength, but his cultivation path had shifted from a single main consciousness to the path of the Zhanxin Method.

The more sub-consciousnesses there were, the greater the impact the resulting cluster consciousness would have on the main consciousness.

The other Lords were very helpless.

Jin’s situation was much better than Naigu’s. He could maintain 60% of his strength right after being hit.

With a little more time, he might recover to 80 or 90%.

Perhaps this trial would even strengthen his mental willpower.

Naigu, however, experienced a change in his cultivation foundation. Yuan also transmitted.

The Zhou Sha Jie Zhen, which couldn’t even eliminate Wanchu Longmu, naturally had no certainty of dealing with other Ancestors.

The eight Lords also wasted no time and immediately combined their efforts to unleash another killing move—the Zhantian Dao Zhen!

The Zhantian Dao Zhen utilized the Blood Shadow Blade’s characteristic of ignoring all material energy. The eight Lords jointly controlled it, and Luofeng even burned his main battle avatar, expending 30% of his energy reserves into this move.

His 30% energy reserves were even greater than the energy Moman, Jin, and Minghuang burned from their main battle avatars.

Boom…

Luofeng and the other eight, along with the Blood Shadow Blade, became one, transforming into an incredibly dazzling blade light. The blade light was so dazzling and magnificent that it made the Ancestors feel somewhat刺眼.

As soon as the blade light appeared, it instilled fear in the hearts of all Ancestors.

“Can’t stop it!”

“Can’t block it!” All Ancestors had this realization in their minds.

The blade light was incredibly dazzling, as if patrolling endless time and space.

Wherever it passed, it silently cut through layers of the highest-level power obstructions.

It also cut into the Ancestors’ multiple layers of formations. These formations had extremely strong defenses to begin with, being a combination of various highest-level defensive powers.

Yet, under this blade light, they were still cleaved open!

“Mogusi, Jimie Shizu, Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo, Zhimengzhe, deal with Minghuang!”

Zhimengzhe and the other five, at top speed, once again unleashed their soul techniques. The two Lords with weaker mental willpower, Naigu and Jin, had already been dealt with.

The other Lords all had very strong mental willpower.

“I’m fine!”

Minghuang took the hit but remained expressionless. The few sub-consciousnesses that arose in her mind were all destroyed and annihilated by her terrifying mental willpower, which manifested as golden lightning.

“It’s completely useless!”

Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe grew anxious. They transmitted, “The eight Lords are coming to kill us. We need to hide immediately.” “Don’t panic. They need to cut through layers of formations. Chushi Shizu is right in front of you and can take you in immediately.”

Jimie Shizu transmitted, “Let’s deal with Moman first!”

According to historical experience, Wulan was the strongest defensive Lord, whose mental willpower seemed like pure matter, completely unshakable.

Xingmang couldn’t be locked on, and Yuan and Luofeng had both tried. The relatively weaker Jin and Naigu had also been tried.

Only Minghuang and Moman could be tried again.

“Om~~~”

If it were a soul technique at peak power, dealing with Minghuang and Moman might still pose some threat. But at this moment, with only 60 to 70% of its power remaining, Moman Lingzhu also withstood it.

As an existence of the pure Hunyuan Wave Path, the main consciousness was also like a wave, easily crushing all derived sub-consciousnesses.

“Kill!”

The eight Lords broke through numerous obstacles and reached the core, directly pressing towards Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe. “They’re here!”

Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe no longer wished to attack and all rushed towards Chushi Shizu.

Chushi Shizu was close by. Silently, it enveloped the three of them.

This allowed the three of them to hide inside Chushi Shizu’s body. Within the absolute sphere.

Wanchu Longmu, Xingluo Shizu, and Zhimengzhe only then felt safe.

“Our physical bodies are weak; we shouldn’t have participated in the battle!”

Zhimengzhe felt some regret. Under the dual pressure and temptation of resources from the naturally born Hunyuan faction and the Bingfeng faction, they had joined the battle.

But who would have thought that the formations formed by the Ancestors couldn’t even stop the eight Lords?

Chichichi…

Suddenly, a terrifying blade light forcibly cut into the internal space of this absolute sphere. The three Ancestors watched in terror as this blade light appeared.

The moment it appeared, it swept past the three of them, their bodies carried away by the blade light.

“What?”

The Ancestor side watched this scene in shock and anger. The terrifying blade light, fully controlled by the eight Lords, had actually cleaved into Chushi Shizu’s body.

The blade mark that cut in was incredibly thin, but it still managed to cut in halfway.

“We combined our strength, yet we couldn’t even cleave it in half?”

Luofeng and the other eight Lords were also surprised. Even if it were cut in half, this injury would not be considered severe.

For the bodies of Ancestors, the energy consumption was not great.

Usually, it had to be completely annihilated, even the core annihilated, to be called a kill.

Just cutting a slit? And the slit could only penetrate half the depth?

It could barely be considered a minor injury; Chushi Shizu would instantly fully recover!

“The eight Lords combined their efforts and only cut this deep! If I attacked alone, it would only be a scratch on the surface!”

Luofeng realized this. But the scene before them completely shattered the morale of the Ancestor side.

This injury was just a minor scratch for Chushi Shizu.

But it meant that even hiding inside Chushi Shizu would result in death!

“We can’t win at all!” “We can’t fight anymore!”

“Let’s retreat, let’s retreat!”

Many Ancestors panicked, and more than half of them actively transmitted messages, demanding a retreat.

Wuxian Shezu, Bingfeng Shizu, and the other fourteen immortal existences, seeing that Chushi Shizu had been cleaved to half its depth by this blade, wondered who among the non-immortal existences would dare to resist it directly? At this moment, their fighting spirit was gone.

At this moment, they all understood that this battle was completely lost.

They would also be unable to gather so many Ancestors to desperately fight again!

“Retreat!” Wuxian Shezu was extremely unwilling, but could only transmit the order.

Bingfeng Shizu also gave the command, “Retreat!”

In fact, in this battle, their greatest hope, the killing move of Mogusi’s team, failed because Yuan had recovered. This indicated that the battle was tilting in favor of the practitioners. End of chapter.
