Chapter 1205: The Four Sons of Fengshen

Amidst the young girl’s shrill shriek, the relentless soul pressure that had been stripping Yun Che of his presence suddenly dissipated like a breached dam. Yun Che’s mind instantly cleared, and his long-dormant Golden Crow Divine Soul and Ice Phoenix Divine Soul erupted simultaneously, filling the boundless soul space once more with golden and icy blue brilliance…

“You… you, you, you…”

Although Water Meiyin was still young, her exceptionally high-level “Immaculate Divine Soul” endowed her with an innate and entirely instinctive sense of superiority and nobility towards all beings. Thus, even when facing the supreme powerhouses of the Eastern Divine Region, she remained calm and poised, always smiling sweetly, never showing the fear or caution of other young profound practitioners. But at this moment, the young girl’s voice was filled with panic, completely devoid of its usual composure.

Even though her unique soul allowed her to look down on all beings, when it came to “experience” in matters between men and women, she was as blank as a sheet of paper—at least ten thousand times more innocent than Shui Yingyue compared to Yun Che. What was even more insidious was that the scenes Yun Che recalled would have made even Water Meiyin’s mother, or a woman of the world who had seen countless men, blush. How much more so for this pure, fifteen-year-old girl! Furthermore, Water Meiyin’s consciousness was directly within Yun Che’s soul space, so his thoughts were more than just “clear” to her… The magnitude of the soul shock was immense, as one could imagine.

As Water Meiyin’s soul power collapsed, Yun Che’s counter-pressure quickly dispersed her soul pressure layer by layer.

“You… you… how could you… you… actually… you bad person!!” The young girl’s voice trembled, her words incoherent. Besides her panic, there was also a hint of a sob.

“Huh? What are you talking about? What’s wrong with me?” Yun Che replied innocently. “I was just recalling intimate moments with my wives… Is there anything wrong with that? Oh? Could it be that you were even peeking at that? You’re not… one of those bad girls, are you?”

Having her soul severely defiled by Yun Che, and then being turned on by him, Water Meiyin’s soul pressure trembled even more. “You… you… you’re the bad person! You *are* the bad person! You, you… I’m going to tell Big Sis…嗚… I’m really angry!!”

Her soul power’s collapse was quickly halted. Water Meiyin forcibly composed herself, and immense pressure once again filled Yun Che’s soul space. At this moment, a delicate figure slowly emerged before Yun Che—it was Water Meiyin. She had actually materialized her presence within Yun Che’s soul space. Behind her, black butterflies filled the sky, fluttering and dancing, covering more than half of Yun Che’s soul space. The black butterflies were beautiful and mysterious, but what they brought to Yun Che was an immense, heavy, terrifying pressure, like the sky about to collapse. Under this pressure, Yun Che’s mind instantly tightened. He was almost certain that if this soul pressure enveloped him, it could absolutely cause his consciousness to completely collapse. Clearly, Water Meiyin was truly enraged. No one had ever dared to defile her, let alone with such a severe and shameless soul violation. Under the sky full of black butterflies, the soul projections of the Ice Phoenix and Golden Crow rapidly dimmed and faded again.

Water Meiyin’s soul power was indeed far more terrifying than Yun Che had anticipated. He had always been confident in his powerful spiritual energy, but against Water Meiyin, he was utterly defeated. Especially when Water Meiyin unleashed her full soul power, he had almost no strength to even struggle. To be like this at such a young age… her future was simply unimaginable. However, the only regrettable thing was that she was still too naive; her greatest weakness was clearly exposed before Yun Che’s eyes.

Facing Water Meiyin’s full suppressive force fueled by anger, Yun Che showed no resistance whatsoever. Just as Water Meiyin let out a soft cry, the black butterflies radiated black light, and her soul power fully descended, a girl’s figure perfectly materialized in Yun Che’s mind. She wore a black dress, with black butterflies tied around her slender waist. She had eyes like the dark night, an angelic face, and elfin purity—it was Water Meiyin herself. She stood there, beautiful and vibrant, but was suddenly tackled forcefully by the abruptly appearing Yun Che. He then mercilessly tore open her dress, revealing a jade-like body, radiant white as snow, yet so delicate and fragile it aroused pity. The soul space instantly convulsed violently, all the black butterflies froze in place, and Water Meiyin’s soul projection’s eyes widened. “Ah… you…” Her angry shout had just left her lips when she suddenly froze… followed by a shriek several times more terrified and shrill than before.

Because in the scene, her overly delicate body was directly lifted by Yun Che, pressed against his waist, and manipulated into an extremely shameful posture… Before she could react in her stunned state, Yun Che turned her body again, arranging it into another, even more utterly shameful posture, wantonly toying with her. “Ah… ah… Waaaaahhhh!!!” The young girl’s screams filled every corner of the soul world. The black butterflies, which had been glowing with black light, descended into chaos, then began to disintegrate piece by piece.

Not only were Yun Che’s methods utterly shameless and despicable, but his timing was also extremely cunning—chosen precisely at the moment Water Meiyin was unleashing her full soul pressure. At that very moment, Water Meiyin’s soul collapsing would be more than just a simple collapse; it would be accompanied by severe backlash. At this critical moment, Yun Che’s soul power was fully unleashed without reservation. His long-dormant Golden Crow Divine Soul and Ice Phoenix Divine Soul erupted simultaneously, firelight and ice gleam instantly filling the entire soul space. Under Water Meiyin’s complete self-collapse and Yun Che’s full counter-attack, the black butterflies, which had held an absolute advantage, dissipated layer by layer. Water Meiyin’s soul projection also blurred from the backlash, then completely vanished.

On the Conferred God Stage, Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes. His profound energy erupted, and he shot towards Water Meiyin like a falling meteor, a powerful profound aura descending directly upon her. The consequences of soul backlash were undoubtedly far greater than profound energy backlash of equivalent intensity; in severe cases, it could cause irreversible soul damage. With her soul in disarray, she naturally couldn't circulate profound energy. Under Yun Che’s pressure, Water Meiyin shrieked and heavily collapsed to the ground, her entire body firmly sealed by his profound energy, unable to move.

Yun Che held his palm towards Water Meiyin, easily suppressing her entire body. Inwardly, he let out a long sigh of relief. This sudden turn of events astonished everyone, and exclamations erupted from the spectator stands.

“What?” Shui Yingyue instantly stood up, her face filled with disbelief. The current situation… Yun Che had actually won the soul power contest between the two?

The soul battle between Yun Che and Water Meiyin had lasted for a considerable time, but no one had attempted to use soul power to probe the process of the battle. This was because forcibly probing a soul battle would inevitably interfere to some extent with the soul clash between the two, which was absolutely prohibited in the Conferred God Battle. Therefore, no one knew the details of their “fierce battle.” At most, they sensed Yun Che simultaneously releasing his Golden Crow Divine Soul and Ice Phoenix Divine Soul, while Water Meiyin’s soul power was unleashed silently, without a trace.

Under absolute profound energy suppression, everyone could clearly see that Yun Che could easily take Water Meiyin’s life with just a slight exertion of profound energy at this moment. The outcome of this duel was already decided.

Yun Che said unhurriedly, “You’ve already lost. Quickly surrender… uh?” Before he finished speaking, Yun Che’s voice noticeably hitched, and his gaze froze.

Water Meiyin sat stunned on the ground, her eyes hazy. Her flawless face was covered in a delicate pink blush that extended all the way down her snowy neck. Unintentionally, she exuded a bewitching allure that was utterly inappropriate for her age, yet was enough to violently stir the heartstrings and blood of any man. Gradually, her eyes also began to redden, shifting from hazy and mist-like to glistening with tears.

“…” Even Yun Che, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, unconsciously averted his gaze, and his voice began to falter. “Ahem, well… as they say… all’s fair in war. I suppose this counts as… a normal tactic. Don’t be angry, okay?” Yun Che’s voice was lowered, audible only to Water Meiyin. Every word betrayed his guilt, and even the profound energy suppressing Water Meiyin unconsciously began to recede. This was far from a “normal tactic”; it was utterly despicable, shameless, vulgar, and malicious to the extreme. Moreover, the person opposite him was just a young girl. Yun Che’s previous actions in her soul space were more than just soul defilement; they were practically equivalent to outright violation in person.

“…” Water Meiyin bit her lip, mist blurring her eyes, which then finally condensed into two glistening tears. “I… absolutely… will not forgive you!!” With a soft cry, she suddenly turned her back, broke free from Yun Che’s profound energy suppression, and flew up. The moment she ascended, two teardrops gently fell, landing on the Conferred God Stage and silently deep within Yun Che’s heart and soul.

Yun Che: “…”

In an instant, Water Meiyin had flown directly out of the Conferred God Stage area. She didn't stop, didn't return to the Glazed Light Realm’s seats, and didn't even greet her father or sister; she just flew far away. “Meiyin!” The Glazed Light Realm King stood up, his face showing urgency. Beside him, Shui Yingyue’s blue silhouette flickered as she chased after Water Meiyin. Yun Che distinctly noticed that as Shui Yingyue left, her gaze fixed fiercely on him. Subsequently, countless eyes from the Glazed Light Realm fell tightly upon him—including the Glazed Light Realm King. He clearly felt the doubt, hostility… and anger in those gazes.

Previously, he had been repeatedly pushed to the brink by Water Meiyin, leaving him no time to think further. But now, he began to realize the seriousness of the problem. Who was Water Meiyin? The beloved daughter of the Glazed Light Realm King, a prodigy of heaven who had broken all records in the Eastern Divine Region, virtually unequaled. Even the Brahma Heaven Realm King shamelessly sought to take her as a disciple—and was refused. It was unimaginable how much the Glazed Light Realm treasured her. If they found out how he had defeated Water Meiyin… wouldn't the Glazed Light Realm want to skin him alive and devour him?! And it wouldn't even require others; the Glazed Light Realm King would surely hate him enough to personally take action!

Thinking of this, Yun Che immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This… she wouldn’t tell anyone, would she? Yun Che secretly prayed… otherwise, he had already deeply offended the Holy Universe Realm out of spite. If he added the Glazed Light Realm to that, he wouldn’t be able to get by in the Eastern Divine Region at all!

Exalted One Quhuai was stunned for a long while before suddenly regaining his composure. He quickly announced, “Water Meiyin has left the Conferred God Stage area and is eliminated from the Conferred God Battle.”

“Yun Che wins, advancing to the seventh round of the loser’s bracket three days from now!”

Both duels today concluded in a short amount of time. The outcome of the battle between Jun Xilei and Meng Duanxi was no surprise to anyone, but the result of the duel between Yun Che and Water Meiyin left spectators dumbfounded. Water Meiyin’s overly abnormal actions made everyone certain that something strange had occurred during their soul battle.

Yun Che descended the Conferred God Stage under the ice-cold, murderous gazes of the Glazed Light Realm contingent. As soon as he returned to his seat, Mu Bingyun quietly asked, “What happened?” “Uh…” Yun Che said with a straight face, “Nothing much. Water Meiyin’s soul power was astonishingly strong; I was almost defeated. But fortunately, she lacked ‘experience,’ and I ‘slightly’ used a ‘small’ trick to barely win. So she… seems to be angry.” Knowing Yun Che, Mu Bingyun knew he was excellent at hiding his emotions, but his string of words just now clearly lacked confidence, indicating it was anything but a “small trick.” She was about to ask further when, from the other side, Huo Poyun already shouted with irrepressible excitement, “Brother Yun! You’re simply… too incredible! Top four! You’re now one of the ‘Four Conferred God Sons’! Which means you’re one of the new ‘Four Divine Sons of the Eastern Region’!!”

With Yun Che’s defeat of Water Meiyin, the “Four Divine Sons” of this Conferred God Battle were thus determined: Luo Changsheng and Shui Yingyue from the winner’s bracket, and Jun Xilei and Yun Che from the loser’s bracket. Luo Changsheng, Shui Yingyue, and Jun Xilei were already among the “Four Divine Sons of the Eastern Region.” Yun Che, however, replaced Lu Lengchuan, joining the other three Divine Sons in the top four, thus becoming one of the new “Four Divine Sons of the Eastern Region.” Moreover, these “Four Divine Sons of the Eastern Region” were born from the Conferred God Battle, witnessed by countless profound practitioners of the Eastern Divine Region, making their titles more authoritative and impressive than before. Hailing from a middle-ranked star realm, with profound energy merely at the eighth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, his standing was utterly incomparable to the other three Divine Sons. Yet, having witnessed Yun Che create miracles time and again, subverting everyone’s perceptions repeatedly, and defeating enemies considered impossible to beat, at this point, no one would question Yun Che’s qualifications. On the contrary, the moment he was ranked among the “Four Divine Sons,” cheers erupted before the Star Monuments of the Eastern Divine Region, especially from the most numerous middle-ranked and lower-ranked star realms, whose shouts shook the heavens. This was because, for the first time, a middle-ranked star realm had surpassed numerous upper-ranked star realms, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the top existences of the upper realms. The shock and sensation Yun Che brought to this Conferred God Battle absolutely far surpassed that of the other three Divine Sons combined. The cheers from the Snow Song Realm and the Fire God Realm caused the very firmament to subtly tremble.

According to the Brahma Heaven Voice’s previous announcement, becoming one of the “Four Conferred God Sons” would not only bring supreme glory but also special rewards from the Four King Realms. However, what these “special rewards” entailed was still unknown. The Conferred God Battle did not have additional ranking matches. Whether Water Meiyin or Meng Duanxi would be fifth or sixth would be determined by the Brahma Heaven Realm based on their comprehensive strength and performance, and the same applied to Lu Lengchuan, Huo Poyun, and others. At this moment, the upcoming matches also appeared on the light screen—though everyone already clearly knew:

Conferred God Group Final Battle (Tomorrow)Luo Changsheng of Holy Universe Realm (Divine Spirit Realm, Level 10) —vs— Shui Yingyue of Glazed Light Realm (Divine Spirit Realm, Level 10)

Loser’s Bracket Seventh Round Battle (Three days later)Jun Xilei of Jadeheart Sword Pavilion (Divine Spirit Realm, Level 10) —vs— Yun Che of Snow Song Realm (Divine Tribulation Realm, Level 8)

For both matches, even before they began, the results were already clear in everyone’s minds. In the battle between Luo Changsheng and Shui Yingyue, Luo Changsheng was sure to win. Jun Xilei was no match for Luo Changsheng, and since Shui Yingyue and Jun Xilei were of similar strength, it was naturally almost impossible for Shui Yingyue to defeat Luo Changsheng. As for the battle between Jun Xilei and Yun Che… although Yun Che had created miracles time and again, astounding everyone repeatedly, his true strength limit had been fully revealed during his battle with Lu Lengchuan. He had defeated Lu Lengchuan, but only barely, whereas Jun Xilei’s strength was far superior to Lu Lengchuan’s. Therefore, although countless profound practitioners cheered loudly for Yun Che, no one believed he could defeat Jun Xilei. The final match of the loser’s bracket would naturally be a duel between Jun Xilei and Shui Yingyue.
