Chapter 106 Another Breakthrough, Shattering the Sea of Consciousness
He Heng was, after all, an elite disciple of Cui Lang Holy Land, and naturally had an air of arrogance towards people outside the Holy Land. How could he stand it?
"Very well, your arrogance has successfully angered me. I'd really like to see just how capable this genius chosen by Lord Blood Butcher truly is!"
Ignoring the fact that a virtual universe network live broadcast was underway, He Heng drew his swords with both hands, unleashed his Wind Domain, and flashed towards Ye Yang.
Ye Yang was not to be outdone. With each step, eight illusory bodies appeared and rushed towards He Heng together.
Soul attack, miniature Heart Sword Array!
At the same time, Ye Yang compressed and condensed his 10-meter diameter fire domain and rushed into He Heng's wind domain.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Ye Yang's cultivation time is short, especially since he has been exposed to truly profound inheritances for less than 10 years.
He Heng's cultivation time was extremely long, he stayed at the Heng Star level for 2000 years... Just imagine, how profound would a person's martial arts skills and techniques be if he started practicing martial arts in the Eastern Han Dynasty and continued until the modern 21st century?
As soon as they started fighting, Ye Yang felt his opponent's experience and strength.
The heritage of the Cui Lang Holy Land is systematic and far superior to that of ordinary adventurers, and even surpasses that of members of the top ten folk organizations!
There is still a gap of more than 200 times in basic qualities between the two sides... Strength, speed, and reflexes are all two orders of magnitude apart!
However, relying on his heaven-defying soul amplitude, as well as his movement techniques at the Eightfold Illusionary Body Realm and his Triple Fire Domain, Ye Yang fought He Heng to a standstill for a time.
"This blood-red demon... its moves are so bizarre! Every time I'm hit by its soul attack, it feels like my head has been smashed with a heavy hammer. Is this reality? Or an illusion?"
"Moreover, my speed and reaction time far surpass his, but thanks to this incredible spatial movement technique, I was unable to inflict any real damage on him..."
He Heng grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. As an "elite disciple" within the Cui Lang Holy Land, he held himself in high esteem and disregarded ordinary geniuses.
It's already quite remarkable that he possesses strength comparable to a first-tier cosmic-level cultivator, given his peak Hengxing-level foundation. Even the most extraordinary among the elite disciples of the Holy Land's Hengxing-level sect only rivals a second-tier cosmic-level cultivator in combat power.
But this guy in front of me... has almost crossed a whole realm!
Is a second-tier level of the Eternal Star comparable to a first-tier level of the Universe?
No wonder even the Blood Slaughter Realm Lord values it so much.
"All you can do is hide?" He Heng said coldly.
"If I were a ninth-level Star Realm cultivator, I would have killed you with a single punch long ago." Ye Yang continued to use his movement techniques while simultaneously employing soul attacks and fire domains to fight against He Heng.
He Heng possesses a secret technique for soul defense, rendering his soul attacks largely ineffective, and his illusions can only affect people for a fleeting moment.
However, the difference in their strength was too great, and even if Ye Yang seized this momentary opening, he would not be able to defeat his enemy.
But he still has other methods.
After long-term guidance and training from Babata, Ye Yang's use of the domain had become highly proficient. The fire domain suddenly twisted and deformed, extending towards the wind wall next to it.
boom!
As the wind and fire clashed, Ye Yang discovered a special killing move that used the energy generated by the local environment!
"What?"
He Heng had just broken free from an illusion when he saw this scene.
He came to the Sky Labyrinth both to gain experience and to comprehend the mysteries of these "romantic" practices. Among the star-level adventurers, almost none have comprehended any domain, and none have even seen one who has mastered the domain of fire.
Not to mention this unexpected use.
He Heng hurriedly used his swordsmanship to defend himself, wildly wielding his twin swords, but Ye Yang had already launched an attack with his curved blade disc.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Five strikes in a row, and He Heng actually blocked them in the blink of an eye.
"Your combat experience is still a bit lacking." He Heng roared, changing his sword stance as he slashed at Ye Yang, instantly cutting through five illusory figures.
brush!
Ye Yang quickly retreated and used other illusionary forms.
"Hmph, not only do you possess movement techniques that I can't break, but you also have methods that can threaten me..." He Heng glanced at Ye Yang's fire domain with some apprehension and said:
"In that case, let's not drag the battle out any longer; there's no point in wasting time on each other!"
"I cannot control the power of my next strike, so this strike will be fatal, regardless of life or death!"
Previously, out of consideration for the Blood Slaughter Realm Lord, He Heng did not fight desperately from the start, but only intended to have a friendly spar.
Now, they are in high spirits, with a strong belief in breaking Ye Yang's movement technique.
"Alright! Regardless of life or death!" Ye Yang took a deep breath and stared intently at He Heng's twin blades.
A moment of silence, then two seconds, and both sides move in unison!
A single slash is like a cloud falling from the sky, containing countless profound techniques from the realm of wind.
A punch flashed like a spark, tracing an inexplicable trajectory and stirring up the fire-attribute energy in the universe.
brush!
Ye Yang's eight illusory bodies shattered instantly, and a bloody crack suddenly appeared on his body. Half of his shoulder detached from his body and began to float.
And balance...
He stood silently in place, his eyes filled with complex emotions:
"What's the name of this punch?"
"Just something I felt like, and I'll keep it anonymous for now," Ye Yang said softly.
He Heng nodded silently, then sheathed his sword and left.
Ye Yang watched his retreating figure with a sigh.
Although the two had only known each other for a minute, they had a deep exchange during the battle.
However... Ye Yang only lost an arm, which was not a big deal, but He Heng was already nearing the end of his life.
"I just..."
Ye Yang recalled what happened in that instant.
In that instant, He Heng shattered all his illusions with a single strike, injuring his true body, but ultimately managed to evade the vital point—his life core.
If the difference in their fundamentals weren't more than 200 times, given the power of the Vacuum Illusion, He Heng would probably be able to sever one or two illusions with a single strike at most.
Ye Yang's punch from a distance broke through the 19.9% limit of True Intent tempering, reaching a progress of 21.4%.
Not only is the additional attack power greater, but the body's strength is also more concentrated.
Furthermore, under the unification of true intentions, the soul attack was imbued with the fundamental law of fire, instantly shaking He Heng's sea of consciousness!
He Heng's cultivation technique possesses a powerful soul defense technique, making it difficult to penetrate and harm his soul. However, Ye Yang's attacks consist of both soul attacks and physical attacks.
The interaction between the two, one internal and one external, directly caused He Heng's sea of consciousness to shatter!
Normally, only soul attacks can annihilate someone's soul; it's almost impossible to shatter the sea of consciousness itself.
However, Ye Yang is not a normal person. His spiritual power is a fusion of mental power and divine sense, which has special characteristics. It can even penetrate into the body of living beings and cause damage. It is not suppressed in the sea of consciousness of others.
The impromptu strike had an unprecedented effect.
"It's quite a distance from here to the exit, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get out in time for treatment."
After listening to Ye Yang's explanation, Babata said with some emotion:
"However, even if they go out to receive treatment, they will definitely suffer incurable hidden injuries to their consciousness and soul, and their talent will be reduced."
"With his sea of consciousness shattered, he could no longer contain his soul. For beings below the level of a domain lord, a minute or two would be enough to kill them. He chose to leave silently, probably because he didn't want you to see how he died."
Ye Yang nodded, silently pressing his severed arm while absorbing the life energy of a No. 003 gem to repair it.
