Chapter 1706 The Second Great War!

Now that she had been exposed, Ye Chuyun no longer hid it.

He slowly emerged from behind the rock pillar where he was hiding. The effect of the [Abyss Disguise Mask] had not been canceled, but his eyes had become murderous as he stared directly at the gray-robed man.

"Another Spirit-level being." Ye Chuyun's tone was unreadable, carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"Are you high and mighty figures here on a group tour to the third layer of the abyss?"

"Or is there something about me that you particularly like?"

The gray-robed man showed no reaction to Ye Chuyun's sarcasm, looking at him as if he were an exquisite object.

"My name is Xu Jin. I am neither friend nor foe to Dark Shadow. We are both outer stewards of the Abyss Shadow Council." He did not answer Ye Chuyun's question directly, but instead revealed part of his background.

"Shadow's mission log shows that your last target was you."

"And the fragment of the Monument of Annihilation that he was responsible for searching for also disappeared."

"Hand over the fragments and inform me of the details of Shadow's death. Considering your exceptional talent, I can recommend you to join the council's outer circle and absolve you of any offense."

Xu Jin spoke as if it were a matter of course, as if allowing Ye Chuyun to enter the outer perimeter of the council was a great favor to him.

"The Abyss Shadow Council..." Ye Chuyun seemed to understand.

Unexpectedly, a small stone fragment was involved with a mysterious organization.

The Shadow Master is one of them, responsible for searching for the fragments.

This fragment is called the Monument of Annihilation, which sounds extraordinary.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Ye Chuyun said calmly.

"I did encounter an attack from a powerful spirit-level being, but I managed to escape. I don't know what happened to him afterward, and as for any stone tablet fragments, I've never even heard of them."

"A lie," Xu Jin interrupted abruptly.

“Your soul rippled slightly when you mentioned the fragments; you can’t fool me.”

"You've seen it, and may even have touched it."

After saying that, he reached out his hand.

"Hand it over; this is your last chance."

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

The restrained pressure emanating from Xu Jin began to slowly release, and the surrounding space began to distort slightly, as if even existence itself was becoming thinner under his will.

Ye Chuyun felt unprecedented pressure once again.

This Void Ash is even more dangerous than the Shadow Venerable!

It's not just his strength, but also his extremely cold attitude, as if nothing can shake him.

But would I give in so easily?

"It seems there's no point in negotiating." Ye Chuyun slowly exhaled, and nine-colored spiritual light began to subtly flow around her.

"Want it? Then come and get it yourself."

"Let me see how much better you, a deacon of the Shadow Council, are than that guy Shadow!"

Since there's no way to avoid it, then let's fight!

Xu Jin seemed to sense the other party's resolute will and sighed helplessly.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin."

"Since that's the case, then let me show you the difference between me and that Shadow guy..."

"【Silent Extinction and Return to Ruins】."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray, misty area silently unfolded.

Wherever this domain passes, colors fade, sounds disappear, and even space becomes lifeless, losing its original vitality.

Cold...hollow...

Ye Chuyun instantly felt as if she had been thrown into an absolute void.

His five senses were severely weakened, and half of his magical power and spiritual power were gone.

Even the talent he possessed became blurred.

"A suppressive spiritual domain targeting the connection between energy activity and laws!" Ye Chuyun's heart sank.

This Void Ashes' spiritual domain is completely different from the Shadow Spirit Lord's [Shadow Forbidden Domain], which is more focused on attack and manipulation.

This leans more towards environmental deprivation and weakening of the root, which to some extent restrains his opponents who rely on elemental resonance and energy manipulation.

"I refuse to believe it!!" Ye Chuyun roared, fully activating [Elemental Overlord], attempting to unleash his domain to fight against it.

Five-colored light erupted from his body, struggling to create a dim area within the realm of the illusory ashes.

Within the domain, the activity of the five elements was barely restored, but the effect on Ye Chuyun was greatly reduced, and the suppression and offset on the Void Ember Domain were negligible.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot," Xu Jin commented, pointing with his hand.

"Nirvana Finger".

A grayish-white beam of light ignored Ye Chuyun's elemental domain and the automatic defense of the [Myriad Transformations Spirit Armor], and struck directly at his brow.

This single finger strike actually locked onto the soul!

"A minor self-defense technique!"

Ye Chuyun was shocked and immediately activated this defensive divine power that was said to be unbreakable by all laws.

He hadn't used it before because he hadn't encountered an enemy who could threaten him.

If we don't use it now, we'll really be in deep trouble.

A layer of transparent light appeared on his body.

laugh!

"Extinction" refers to the light spot hitting the light shield, ultimately failing to break through it.

Ye Chuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression changed the next moment.

Although the shield was not broken, he could feel that the protective power of the [Minor Protective Technique] had been reduced by nearly 30% by this one finger strike.

Moreover, a profound sense of emptiness washed over him, causing a sharp pain and dizziness in his soul.

"He does have some foundation." A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, but his attacks did not stop.

"Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation level is too great."

"Soul Imprint, suppress!"

He formed a strange hand seal, and a complex mark composed of countless gray runes appeared out of thin air and slowly pressed down on Ye Chuyun.

This mark exudes a terrifying aura of sealing the soul. Although its speed seems slow, it completely seals off Ye Chuyun's space to dodge and even triggers the power of the [Nirvana Return to Nothingness] spiritual domain, making the sense of emptiness around Ye Chuyun even stronger.

Ye Chuyun could even see her own body seemingly turning into nothingness for a moment.

"We can't take it head-on!" Ye Chuyun judged instantly.

The opponent's soul power is extremely strong, and their supernatural abilities are bizarre. Directly confronting a soul attack is too dangerous.

"Minor Teleportation Technique!"

With his supernatural power activated, his figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared behind another rock pillar a hundred meters away.

However, the soul imprint seemed to have the ability to track, pausing slightly before changing direction and continuing to press down.

"Dark World!" Ye Chuyun gritted her teeth, expending her already limited mana to continue using her divine powers, attempting to pull the Void Ash's true form, or at least this soul imprint, into an independent dark space.

Absolute darkness descended, enveloping the Void Ashes.

But it lasted for less than two seconds before the darkness fluctuated violently and then shattered with a crash.

This is the first time the Dark World has suffered such a defeat.

The figure of the Void Ember reappeared, its silver-gray pupils completely calm.

"A decent spatial isolation and suppression technique, but its effect is limited against beings whose soul essence is superior to yours and who have mastered the true meaning of annihilation," Xu Jin said calmly, the soul imprint continuing its relentless advance.
