#1788 - Soul Breaker

His thoughts shifted.

Gu Ning immediately changed direction, intending to deal with Liao Chuan, who posed the greatest threat to him first. The power of the world gathered from the void and poured into his long saber.

The Eye of Heavenly Dao above his head seemed to be in sync with Gu Ning, instantly locking onto Liao Chuan.

"Severing Soul Slash!"

The long saber was swung out, and the saber intent, wrapped in saber energy, instantly erupted. The sky, originally covered in dark clouds, was directly torn open by this single slash, creating a massive gash.

Even before the saber energy approached, Liao Chuan felt a sharp pain on his skin. His brow furrowed with solemnity, and he quickly controlled the black tower to float in front of him.

However, besides Gu Ning's attack, the Eye of Heavenly Dao also made its move. A scarlet beam of light transformed into a sharp sword, hurtling towards Liao Chuan at an incredible speed.

Enveloped by the power of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, Liao Chuan felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire. Even moving his body slightly became difficult.

"Are you not going to act?"

Liao Chuan was greatly alarmed. He knew that relying on himself alone, even if he could withstand the joint attack of Gu Ning and the Eye of Heavenly Dao, he would likely be injured as a result.

At this moment, he could only rely on Ling Ying and the others. Only if they seized this opportunity to severely injure Gu Ning could this battle be ended.

Ling Ying and Ling Sha exchanged a glance and unhesitatingly charged towards Gu Ning again. Zhao Tianxing and another Immortal Emperor also directly attacked.

"Hmph, how ignorant."

After a short while, a miserable cry came from Liao Chuan's mouth as he clutched his forehead tightly.

"Damn… damn it, it's a soul technique…"

Liao Chuan gasped for breath, his divine soul injured by Gu Ning's saber energy. Moreover, the soul imprint he had left on the black tower was mostly erased by this one slash.

Now, Liao Chuan had to use more of his own soul power to control the black tower, but because he had to deal with the Eye of Heavenly Dao's attack, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"Give it to me."

Having succeeded in one strike, Gu Ning was extremely satisfied with the result. He directly reached out his hand to grab the black tower, wanting to take it for his own.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The attacks of Ling Ying and the others successfully landed on Gu Ning's body, but the result remained unchanged. Their attacks were completely absorbed by the black armor.

From beginning to end, Gu Ning didn't even glance back at Ling Ying and the others, completely ignoring them.

Gu Ning used the power of the world to condense a giant hand, instantly grabbing the black tower. The long saber was swung out again, intending to completely sever Liao Chuan's connection with the black tower.

"Too much! Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Liao Chuan retreated frantically, a hoarse roar escaping his mouth.

Dodging the attack of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, Liao Chuan directly forced out several drops of heart's blood and merged the blood into the black tower again.

"Soul Suppression!"

With the blessing of the heart's blood, Liao Chuan once again completely controlled the black tower, shattering the giant hand condensed by Gu Ning.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liao Chuan immediately launched a counterattack against Gu Ning. A vast amount of soul power poured out, frantically launching an impact on Gu Ning's divine soul.

It must be said that the effect of this attack was very good. The once invincible Gu Ning also let out a muffled groan.

Having succeeded in one strike.

Liao Chuan quickly reminded Ling Ying and the others.

"Use divine soul attacks. Only in this way can you hurt him."

Hearing this, Ling Ying and his group's eyes lit up, and then they revealed a look of sudden realization.

Gu Ning had the black armor to protect his body, and ordinary attacks could hardly hurt him at all. However, the black armor only protected the physical body, and the divine soul would not receive much power to guard it.

As long as Gu Ning's divine soul was obliterated, the black armor, no matter how strong, would become a mere decoration.

Gu Ning naturally heard Liao Chuan's words. His face changed drastically, and he had no choice but to give up continuing to snatch the black tower, quickly retreating towards the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land.

Although the ancestral land's barrier had been broken, there were still killing formations and guardian formations inside. Relying on those formations, delaying for a while was not a problem at all.

As long as he could buy time, reinforcements would arrive soon, and then he could kill all the invading enemies.

"Quick… stop him, don't let him go back."

Liao Chuan loudly reminded Ling Ying and the others. He had finally managed to lure Gu Ning out. If he allowed the other party to successfully escape back, it would be incredibly difficult for them to attack the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land.

While reminding Ling Ying and the others, Liao Chuan controlled the black tower to smash towards the Eye of Heavenly Dao, intending to deal with this troublesome thing first.

"Bang!"

Under the impact of the black tower, the Eye of Heavenly Dao gradually became transparent, and cracks appeared on the huge eye.

After withstanding three black tower impacts, the Eye of Heavenly Dao suddenly shattered with a loud bang, turning into a red light and dissipating into the world.

Of course.

The main reason why Liao Chuan was able to shatter this Eye of Heavenly Dao was that this Eye of Heavenly Dao was only transformed by a wisp of Heavenly Dao's will. The power it could exert was very limited, and it could only be considered an incarnation.

After the Eye of Heavenly Dao disappeared, the power of heaven and earth acting on everyone's bodies also weakened a lot, and their speed also increased a lot as a result.

However, what Liao Chuan didn't expect was that after dealing with the Eye of Heavenly Dao, he discovered that Ling Ying and his group of four, acting at the same time, had not been able to successfully stop Gu Ning.

Faced with the four people's siege, Gu Ning, due to having the black armor on his body, directly adopted a style of fighting injury for injury, forcibly carving out a path of blood.

"Damn, damn!"

Looking at Gu Ning about to enter the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land, Liao Chuan's face was extremely ugly, but he was helpless.

"Boom!"

But at the critical moment, Gu Ning only felt a blur before his eyes, and then a figure blocked his path.

"Bang!"

Before Gu Ning could react, he took a solid palm strike to the chest, and was directly sent flying.

"Who!"

Gu Ning was shocked. He didn't expect that there was still a strong person hiding in the dark.

This sudden change also stunned Ling Ying and the others. They quickly looked at the suddenly appearing figure.

"It's him."

After seeing the face of the person who came, Ling Ying immediately recognized the other party's identity, and his expression instantly became serious.

"Damn, why is this guy here too."

Zhao Tianxing's face was gloomy. He had seen Tu Yuan's strength before. Now that the other party was also participating, the difficulty of snatching things from his hands would directly double.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the crowd, Tu Yuan kept sizing up the armor on Gu Ning's body, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Not bad, not bad."

"I didn't expect that this world would have such a high-grade Immortal Artifact. Although it is a defective product, it is barely usable."

While speaking, Tu Yuan charged towards Gu Ning again.

… … … … … …

The wings behind Tu Yuan quickly grew larger, giving people a feeling of covering the sky and sun. The speed was also surprisingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning didn't even have time to retreat before a palm landed on his chest. Immediately, a sharp pain shot through his body as a violent force relentlessly battered his flesh.

Gu Ning's expression drastically changed. He instantly understood that Tu Yuan intended to shatter his physical body and seize the black armor for himself. Such an overbearing tactic was alarming.

Faced with this situation, Gu Ning naturally couldn't sit idly by and await his doom.

"Ha!"

With a furious roar, Gu Ning instantly ignited his essence blood. A terrifying power surged from within, successfully forcing Tu Yuan back. He seized the opportunity to quickly retreat a distance.

However, before he could retreat far, Gu Ning felt a chill run down his spine. As soon as he turned his head, he met the gaze of Liao Chuan and the others.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Gu Ning found himself struggling to cope with the encirclement. He could only try his best to avoid suffering a fatal wound.

The reason Liao Chuan and the others cooperated with Tu Yuan was naturally to take the opportunity to snatch the black armor from Gu Ning. They couldn't possibly relinquish such a treasure.

Moreover, with the black armor, dealing with Tu Yuan after eliminating Gu Ning would be easier, making it a win-win situation.

Tu Yuan wasn't stupid either. He naturally saw through the intentions of Liao Chuan and his group. However, confident in his own strength, he didn't object and was even happy to see it happen.

Based on their previous exchange, Tu Yuan had also witnessed the terrifying power of the black armor. If he faced Gu Ning alone, it wouldn't be easy to subdue him.

But now it was different. Tu Yuan only needed to guard the entrance to the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land and let Liao Chuan and the others exhaust Gu Ning.

Boom!

Boom!

The two sides instantly engaged in battle, the intense collision echoing through the sky. Liao Chuan and the others continuously used divine soul secret techniques, and Gu Ning's situation grew increasingly worse.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Gu Ning roared incessantly, his anger reaching its peak.

Whenever Gu Ning tried to engage in close combat, Liao Chuan and the others would retreat, launching divine soul attacks from a distance.

Faced with the attacks of divine soul secret techniques, the black armor, his greatest reliance, couldn't provide much help. This gave him the feeling of having strength but nowhere to use it, making him feel extremely stifled.

Gu Ning also tried to directly confront Tu Yuan, wanting to break through his blockade and enter the ancestral land, but he failed every time.

As time passed, Gu Ning's divine soul power was frantically consumed, and he also suffered some injuries.

Within the Ancient God Clan's residence, the other powerhouses of the Ancient God Clan were filled with anger as they watched this scene, their eyes filled with worry.

However, among these people, the strongest was only at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm. Going out wouldn't be of any help at all, so even if they were anxious, they could only watch helplessly.

"These damned fellows, if our Ancient God Clan's ancestor were here, how could they be allowed to be so arrogant?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid the clan leader won't be able to hold on. What should we do?"

Someone asked the most crucial question, and the surrounding curses instantly disappeared. Everyone revealed a thoughtful expression, their brows tightly furrowed, but after thinking for a while, they had no countermeasures.

Just as the Ancient God Clan members were in despair, a powerhouse of the Ancient God Clan with Half-Step Immortal Emperor cultivation suddenly spoke.

"You don't need to worry. Although there are more people here than expected, everything is under control. You must believe in the clan leader."

"As for what backup plans have been prepared, I won't say much. You will know when the time comes. In any case, those who will die are definitely them. Those who dare to covet my Ancient God Clan must pay the price."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of despair on the faces of the Ancient God Clan members instantly vanished, replaced by endless joy.

… …

Within the void.

Jiang Chen had been watching the battle area. He felt somewhat uneasy, shocked by Gu Ning's powerful strength.

Although he relied on the black armor to basically ignore the attacks of Liao Chuan and the others, he couldn't ignore their divine souls.

Relying on his own strength, facing the continuous attacks of the five Immortal Emperors' divine souls, he had actually been able to delay for so long. This alone showed his terrifying strength.

Of course.

Jiang Chen also noticed an unusual point. Gu Ning seemed to be in a difficult position, but he didn't show a trace of panic. His eyes were unusually calm.

Moreover, the injuries Gu Ning suffered were recovering at an extremely fast speed, and the power of heaven and earth was blessing his divine soul.

With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, Gu Ning's immortal energy could be said to be endless. In addition, with the power of heaven and earth protecting his divine soul, he could completely fight a war of attrition.

In order to deceive Liao Chuan and the others, Gu Ning had been acting like he was losing strength, giving people the feeling that he was just struggling to survive.

Gu Ning's state was indeed very deceptive and easy to be fooled by, but Jiang Chen possessed the Double Pupils, and he could see the other party's true state at a glance.

Gu Ning was going to so much trouble and even using himself as bait, so he must have some backup plans.

Who was the hunter and who was the prey? It would probably be difficult to tell until the very end.

Originally, Jiang Chen had planned to take advantage of their battle to enter the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land, but after noticing this abnormality, he temporarily abandoned this idea.

After all, the situation within the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land was unknown. Entering rashly could put him in danger. Let Tu Yuan and the others do this kind of reconnaissance.

From beginning to end, Jiang Chen didn't dare to underestimate the Ancient God Clan. A clan that could continue for tens of thousands of years and still be thriving must have a foundation far more profound than it appeared on the surface. He had to be wary.

"Hmm?"

"Something's wrong, this guy is not right."

As the battle continued, even if Tu Yuan's reaction was slow, he noticed Gu Ning's abnormality. He no longer continued to watch, but stepped into the battlefield.

Noticing Tu Yuan's actions, Gu Ning sighed helplessly: "I really didn't expect you to discover the abnormality so quickly, but it's too late to discover it now."

"Heaven and Earth Cage, rise!"

Gu Ning's aura suddenly returned to its peak state, and his entire person became radiant. The injuries on his body disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the words 'Heaven and Earth Cage' were spoken, the Eye of Heaven's Path, which had been shattered by Liao Chuan, reappeared. This time, the Eye of Heaven's Path was even more solid, and the entire Black Bone Barren Forest fell into endless darkness.

"Not good, this place has been completely sealed off."

An exclamation came from Liao Chuan's mouth. He mobilized the power of the Netherworld at the fastest speed to activate the Black Tower, using it to protect himself.

"Ugh… Ugh…"

The power of heaven and earth poured down, and the immense pressure caught Ling Ying and the others off guard. They couldn't help but grunt, and their bodies slowly sank down.

"Bang, bang, bang…"

Under the immense pressure, the group fell from the void one after another, crashing heavily into the ground.
