Chapter 1392: Besieging Wei to Save Zhao Illusory Extinction Finger, Extremely Urgent Please Ask Aunt Xiang

Bei Huai's target is Xing Jie, and secondarily, Tan Shen.

Yi Shi Du Li can only make me forget myself, leaving no effect on Xing Jie, and it certainly can't conceal Xing Jie's spatial nodes.

What stands before me is merely an incarnation of a Sheng Di's intent. His reaching gesture is deceptive, but that doesn't mean the divine soul hand targeting Xing Jie must come from the Bei Huai right in front of me.

If Zu Shu Long Xing couldn't stop him, then he could have just attacked Xing Jie directly. Why go to the trouble of manifesting this intent incarnation in front of me and wasting time with all this talk?

Bei Huai's actions must have a reason—this is absolutely the key to breaking the situation!

As Xu Xiaoshou's true will returned to his body with all these doubts, the Ling Dao Pan beneath his feet spun out simultaneously.

The Shen Ling Yi San Pan focuses on the three paths: body, soul, and will.

He knew too little about Bei Huai.

But once he truly decided to confront Bei Huai, certain details from his sealed memories surfaced.

He recalled that when dealing with the Yi Shi in the Yun Lun mountain range, Wu Ji Lao Zu, while belittling the Yi Shi, had casually mentioned:

"Among the five domains, those who truly specialize in the soul path are rarer than ancient sword cultivators. Currently, only one has achieved true success: Bei Huai."

It was this line that instantly locked in Xu Xiaoshou's direction, convincing him that the Ling Dao Pan was the key to breaking the situation.

The Ling Dao Pan corresponds to the divine soul!

Sure enough, as soon as the Ling Dao Pan appeared, Xu Xiaoshou's mode of thinking shifted from focusing on the physical body to concentrating on the divine soul level.

When he looked at Bei Huai again, the figure standing in the shattered void was no longer a barefoot man in white, but a soul giant towering like a raging titan.

This divine soul energy body was incredibly massive.

Its power was condensed to an astonishing degree.

It was completely incomparable to the Yi Shi or Gui Po he had seen before.

It even manifested substantial muscles, robust like an enlarged version of Shen Yi after opening the Human Path.

Perhaps it could be said that...

Only a Sheng Di-level expert proficient in the divine soul path, like a Void General at full liberation, could match the divine soul body of Bei Huai that Xu Xiaoshou now saw!

"How do I fight this?"

As his thoughts returned, Xu Xiaoshou's plan hadn't even been implemented before he was stunned by this overwhelmingly massive divine soul body.

In that brief moment, his mind was on the verge of being controlled again.

But since Xu Xiaoshou had chosen to return, he had a way to counter it.

He instantly switched his consciousness back to Jin Ren's body, and Jin Ren's consciousness, after reaching the Ran Ming site and breathing a sigh of relief, returned and burst into tears again.

In just a flash, Xu Xiaoshou's consciousness switched back!

This was the only solution he had devised to counter Bei Huai's "wounded heart" ability:

"Use the two bodies and their different spaces to let Jin Ren handle the negative emotions Bei Huai brings, while my true self stays in that gap, never slipping up, always staying clear-headed."

This method was effective, but the downside was that it was exhausting!

Switching consciousness back and forth in an instant was something no ordinary person could handle—even a Ban Sheng would be utterly drained.

Only Xu Xiaoshou, with his divine manipulation skills honed to perfection and the "transformation" constantly consuming blood energy and spiritual essence to replenish his mental exhaustion, could pull it off.

Otherwise, he could exhaust himself to death in just a few breaths!

But exhaustion didn't matter as long as it worked.

Standing on the Ling Dao Pan, Xu Xiaoshou saw not only Bei Huai's powerful divine soul body but also his own divine soul power surging with each boiling wave of thoughts.

These forces connected, through subtle and imperceptible bonds, to all the items he had formed contracts with:

Spatial ring, Zang Ku, Yan Mang, You Si Jian... and even Xing Jie!

"It's exactly this way!"

As his consciousness switched back and forth, Xu Xiaoshou's eyes flashed with sharp light.

He had figured out why Bei Huai had to manifest his intent incarnation in front of him and talk endlessly:

By doing so, Bei Huai made his thoughts boil, his divine soul power surge, and in turn, highlighted the thread of divine soul will linking him to Xing Jie.

Following that trail, Bei Huai could locate Xing Jie, which was wandering in the fragments of time and space and otherwise impossible to find!

"Shen Hun Ao Yi?"

In the shattered world, beneath the blurred face that was impossible to see clearly, Bei Huai's voice carried a hint of surprise.

He could naturally tell that the Ao Yi array diagram under Xu Xiaoshou's feet was crude.

But the power was undeniable!

Just by standing on this incomplete Ao Yi array, Xu Xiaoshou entered a special state of "Tian Ren He Yi."

To Bei Huai's eyes, that raging titan now seemed even more attuned to the divine soul path than he was.

"You are very perceptive."

Bei Huai couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Regardless of how Xu Xiaoshou had cultivated this divine soul Ao Yi array,

The fact that he could, without knowing anything about Bei Huai, find the most accurate entry point—the divine soul path—and manifest soul power proved his combat awareness was extremely high.

It also indicated that this person had specifically trained in divine soul combat techniques.

Moreover, that raging titan appeared to be crying uncontrollably, yet it was undeniably awake at every moment!

"Maybe you've found a way to counter it, but it's too late—I've memorized your divine soul aura."

Bei Huai flicked his sleeve.

Suddenly, the divine soul hand outside Xing Jie became even more solidified, and another divine soul hand manifested on the other side.

The two hands grasped like catching a ball, completely restraining Xing Jie, as if to crush everything inside.

"Crack!"

Countless cracks appeared in Xing Jie's sky.

Tan Shen, who had been darting among the myriad ancient artifacts to refine pills, stopped in its tracks, lifted its gaze, and let out a mewling cry, its pupils filled with fear.

It had a bad premonition.

This time, the sky's collapse seemed abnormal—truly dangerous—and the danger was targeted at itself?

"Xu Xiaoshou!"

Zu Shu Long Xing was completely suppressed and had no choice but to cry out for help again.

As Xu Xiaoshou had thought, it was just a Sheng Di intent incarnation—Long Xing, no matter how weak, shouldn't be unable to handle it.

The incarnation in this shattered world was a decoy.

The one truly attacking Xing Jie was Bei Huai himself, hidden somewhere unknown!

"You bastard, if you've got the guts, come at me!"

The raging titan could no longer pretend. It suddenly leaned back, its feet gripping the Sheng Di Qi Lin with immense force, flipping it upward in a hook.

"Woo..."

Sheng Di Qi Lin was still crying and had no desire to resist.

It had probably tried similar resistance many times before, each futile, knowing it was useless.

Xu Xiaoshou couldn't bear to watch.

"Cry your ass off, you're a Sheng Di—stop acting like a crybaby!"

The raging titan roared, its eyes bulging with fury, partially merging the Tian Zu power from the dragon pearl into its body.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion rocked the shattered world.

With the Dragon Ancestor power and Tian Zu power combined, the golden light giant hoisted the Qi Lin like a ball and smashed it toward Bei Huai's Sheng Di intent incarnation.

"Futile."

Bei Huai seemed to be smirking, disdainfully regarding the Qi Lin projectile enhanced by the two ancestral powers.

Bang!

The crying Qi Lin felt the world spin.

Then it sensed smashing through something—in reality, it had obliterated Bei Huai's Sheng Di intent incarnation into dust.

"My physical body is merely a constraint."

"Attaining the divine soul path frees one from all bonds."

A mocking voice echoed from the nine heavens.

As Sheng Di Qi Lin shattered the physical form of Bei Huai's intent incarnation, it passed straight through his giant divine soul body, leaving Xu Xiaoshou with a profound sense of helplessness.

It was like physical attacks could never touch a phantom soul—his strike had hit nothing but air.

Bei Huai's divine soul body remained completely unharmed!

"Boom!"

A massive rift tore open in the sky above Xing Jie.

Zu Shu Long Xing could only withstand one divine soul hand but couldn't hold back the other sneaking in from behind.

That you qing-colored giant hand finally pierced through space and entered Xing Jie.

Its target was precisely Tan Shen!

"Meow—"

Tan Shen's fur stood on end as it yelped in alarm and leaped up as if its paws were burned.

In its sight, this you qing divine soul hand was incredibly tempting, like a massive fish that could never be finished in three lifetimes.

Forcing it down would only cause it to burst.

But if it didn't swallow it, the cat would be crushed by the fish!

"You sick freak..."

In the shattered world, Xu Xiaoshou witnessed this and completely lost it.

Without another word, he faced the massive divine soul giant, raising his eyebrows.

Heart Sword Technique: All Under Demons!

"Overreaching."

Bei Huai remained unmoved.

The divine soul giant split off a small portion, forming a miniature Bei Huai divine soul body.

That separated power was less than one ten-thousandth of the original, yet it was fully conscious and vibrant.

It blocked Bei Huai's line of sight, interfacing with Xu Xiaoshou's Heart Sword Technique.

"Boom!"

The miniature Bei Huai divine soul body exploded with endless demonic energy, instantly losing its sanity and falling into demonic possession.

"Swallow Soul Technique."

The large divine soul body inhaled, and the miniature Bei Huai turned into two streams of energy.

One was pure divine soul power, reabsorbed back into itself.

The other was the discarded evil demonic energy trash, casually thrown away—Swallow Soul Technique could only consume divine souls, not the power of demonic possession.

With just this casual use of a divine soul spiritual technique, Xu Xiaoshou was left with a blank mind.

He felt like a baby swinging a sword at an adult—Bei Huai deflected his ultimate move with a casual wave.

A Sheng Di...

A Bei clan Sheng Di of the divine soul path...

A fully mature, ten-seat, hell-level monster...

How could he fight this?

This was an opponent for Ba Zun An—why had it come after him?

Xu Xiaoshou was on the verge of breaking down. He was still a realm away in resources, distance, and time.

"Your ancient sword techniques are decent, but compared to Ba Zun An, they're nothing."

"By the way, kid, I can give you a tip..."

Bei Huai's divine soul giant spoke casually, not hiding his weaknesses at all:

"Gui Jian Technique can hurt me, but I wonder how well you've cultivated your Gui Jian Technique?"

Standing on the Ling Dao Pan, Xu Xiaoshou didn't need Bei Huai to say more—he could see his own divine soul "boiling" again.

He was indeed provoked.

He quickly suppressed his impulsive thoughts.

"Bei Huai is trying to provoke me!"

"The stronger my divine soul fluctuations, the more obvious my connection to Xing Jie becomes. That way, Bei Huai can more easily lock onto Xing Jie's random coordinates in the space-time fragments!"

"What I need to do isn't get angry, but cut off his perception of Xing Jie for at least a moment, making him lose his bearings."

"As long as there's a moment of disconnection, Xing Jie's spatial coordinates are chaotic and random—he'd have to provoke me again to relocate it."

"Then, my 'Yi Shi Du Li' could come into play!"

It had to be said, this special passive skill "Tian Ren He Yi" was incredibly powerful. With the Ling Dao Pan underfoot, Xu Xiaoshou quickly devised another strategy against Bei Huai.

But a problem arose:

How could he sever a Sheng Di's perception of Xing Jie, even for a split second?

"Huan Mie Yi Zhi (Charge Value: 33)."

The peak of Huan Mie Yi Zhi had been given to Rao Yao Yao.

It was strong enough to leave even Wang Ze Sheng Di unable to erase that power, successfully blasting Rao Yao Yao into a wisp of remnant soul, forcing her to seek survival through her sword.

In the end, Xu Xiaoshou had managed to slash a Ban Sheng.

But now, after leaving the Void Island battle, this special passive skill's charge value had increased pitifully slowly.

Seeing this dishearteningly low charge value, and contrasting it with Bei Huai's absurdly massive divine soul giant...

Xu Xiaoshou briefly gave up thinking.

At the same time, he stopped switching his consciousness between Jin Ren and his true self.

A do-or-die fight!

"Under influence, passive value: 1."

When the information panel popped up again, his mental awakening triggered, and the passive counterattack formed.

The raging titan pointed a finger from afar.

All the compressed power in his body poured out at once:

Tian Zu power, Dragon Ancestor power, sword intent, saintly force, Chen Zhao Heart, Three Days Frozen Calamity...

Everything served as support, merely to fully ignite "Huan Mie Yi Zhi."

Whoosh.

A faint light flashed by.

The passive counterattack of Huan Mie Yi Zhi was so fast that even Bei Huai seemed unaware of the need to defend.

In Bei Huai's world, Xu Xiaoshou was strong in sword techniques and physical body, but not in the divine soul path.

As the foremost in that path, Bei Huai believed that if anyone claimed second, no one would dare claim first.

So, Xu Xiaoshou might hurt a miniature Bei Huai at most, but there was no way a single technique could wipe out his powerful Sheng Di intent incarnation's divine soul body.

When that you qing light pierced through, carrying various saint-level forces intertwined, it bored a hole through Bei Huai's divine soul giant's chest...

The first to crumble was this shattered world.

How could this manifestation of Sheng Di Qi Lin's broken conscious space withstand a strike powerful enough to pierce through Zui Yi Dian?

"Boom—"

Deep beneath the Si Xiang Secret Realm, a thunderous explosion erupted, shaking the mountains and earth.

Near the Zhu Que Pulse and Zhu Que Golden Tower.

The ground shattered violently, sending dust and stones soaring hundreds of zhang high.

All nearby trial participants were knocked off their feet by the immense force, sensing the approach of death.

This was merely the first wave of the saintly explosion's aftermath!

When the core of power at the epicenter deep underground fully revealed itself, the entire Zhu Que Pulse, and even the neighboring areas of the three pulses, trembled.

At the Zhu Que Golden Tower.

Yu Zhi Wen was still wiping away tears when she was suddenly lifted into the air by the force.

She had no idea what was happening. Looking up, even the Zhu Que Golden Tower was airborne, flying higher than she was!

"Huh?"

The sorrowful atmosphere enveloping the area dissipated instantly. Everyone stared in shock as...

"Boom!"

A pillar of light shot into the sky.

Destructive saintly fluctuations were about to erupt.

"Impossible!"

From the nine heavens, a white crane dove into the gap of the Si Xiang Secret Realm.

Upon arrival, Mu Lin on the crane's head felt overwhelming pressure.

He had only received a message that Wei An was missing, so he came to take over and provide some protection.

He never expected that upon arrival, the Si Xiang Secret Realm would be in such chaos, with a saintly battle erupting right before his eyes!

If he had been even half a step later, would all the trial participants in the Zhu Que Pulse have perished in this strike?

"Refine!"

Ban Sheng Mu Lin didn't hesitate and revealed his Yan Shen Huo.

By now, he had entered the saintly realm, fully consolidated his cultivation, and completely merged with the Tian Huo Yan Shen Huo.

For handling explosions like this, Mu Lin was a master!

In an instant, boundless Yan Shen Huo rose from the Zhu Que Pulse, forming a black Long Rong Realm.

This realm wasn't a pure domain.

Instead, it used the heavens and earth as the furnace and the explosion as the ingredient, borrowing the momentum to transform it.

A pill couldn't actually form.

But the Chen Zhao Refining Technique refined explosions.

Mu Lin formed seals with both hands, breaking the explosive force into various primal forms, like liquid medicine streams that didn't detonate immediately but swirled into a sphere.

Secondary explosion technique!

Using this delay, Mu Lin flicked his sleeve, tossing the "explosion" that had reformed into a power source seed out of the Si Xiang Secret Realm.

"Boom!!!"

In the skies above Gong Yang Mountain in Qi Lin Realm.

The explosion unleashed, darkening the heavens and collapsing the Dao principles.

The noise was so loud that it echoed across the 132 realms of Zhong Yu Sheng Shen Tian.

"A saintly battle?"

People everywhere turned their gazes, seeing only a distant glow, unaware of the truth.

But the saintly fluctuations were too clear!

It was undoubtedly a saintly battle!

For a moment, outside Qi Lin Realm, various Dao Slayers and Tai Xu experts approached, wanting to witness the saintly battle and incidentally probe the truth of the Ran Ming site.

In the Si Xiang Secret Realm, trial participants and dust crashed to the ground.

Mu Lin, who had turned death into life with one move, showed no joy on his face; instead, he hovered silently in the air.

He had sensed something.

Among the explosive forces he decomposed, one was actually Chen Zhao power?

"Explosion..."

"Chen Zhao Heart, Xu Xiaoshou..."

Mu Lin's face darkened.

How is it always tied back to you?

I'm your shishu, not your nanny. Not every mess I have to clean up is one you caused!

"Thud!"

The Zhu Que Golden Tower plummeted, embedding diagonally into the ground, its spirituality greatly diminished.

A quarter of the Si Xiang Secret Realm's Saint Palace trials had become a joke.

The ground was breached, revealing a massive pit.

As the raging titan returned from Sheng Di Qi Lin's shattered world, it reappeared in the Si Xiang Secret Realm.

It was enormous!

It had giantized to match Sheng Di Qi Lin's scale.

So, upon emerging, the raging titan was so vast that even standing in the abyss pit, its chest aligned with the horizon.

All trial participants and officials who had landed thanks to Mu Lin's power were merely shaken, not killed.

As everyone snapped out of the sorrowful atmosphere and looked up, they gasped in unison.

The golden light giant's exposed upper body and massive head were already hundreds of zhang high, like a subterranean creature awakening, bringing a terror called "immensity"!

"Hiss..."

"What kind of creature is that?"

"Was that explosion from its awakening? Is it from the Giant Clan? A Ban Sheng?"

"How could such a creature be in the Si Xiang Secret Realm? What was the Saint Palace thinking, letting us trial here?"

The trial participants were stunned.

Yu Zhi Wen finally landed on the base of the golden tower, looked up, and saw the towering golden light giant.

Unlike the others' shock and unfamiliarity, Yu Zhi Wen was all too familiar with this golden light giant!

Back in Bai Ku, during the eruption that birthed Ming Jian Yan Mang, she had been held in its palm, leaving a deep imprint:

"Xu Xiaoshou, you're right by my side..."

"Under shocking gaze, passive value: 135."

"Under awe, passive value: 122."

"Under worry, passive value: 1."

The information panel kept popping up as everyone stared at the raging titan.

The raging titan, Xu Xiaoshou, gazed at the Bei Huai divine soul body towering in the void, invisible to 99% of the trial participants.

He had succeeded.

But not in interrupting Bei Huai's connection to Xing Jie.

Rather, he had successfully shocked Bei Huai, causing him to briefly halt the divine soul hand's invasion of Xing Jie.

Now, Bei Huai's divine soul body was looking down at the fist-sized hole in its chest, still smoldering with intense burns and trickling unquenchable you qing soul blood.

Sheng Di soul blood!

Bei Huai fell silent.

Had he, a Sheng Di, been wounded in his divine soul body by a Wang Zuo Dao realm practitioner?

Xu Xiaoshou was silent too.

His most powerful explosive technique had only created such a insignificant little hole?

"Thud."

Without another word, Xu Xiaoshou ended the raging titan stance, returning to his true form in the Si Xiang Secret Realm.

Sheng Nu's second-in-command, the master of Tian Shang First Tower...

Xu Xiaoshou in his original form!

No more disguises!

Now smaller, the young man stood loftily in the air, handsome and refined, with a flawless treasure body radiating saintly light.

At his waist hung the black sword Zang Ku, in his hands were Yan Mang and You Si Jian, and all his passive skills activated, drawing in the surrounding spiritual essence.

In that moment, he was the center of the world!

Everyone recognized this hottest young wanted criminal of Sheng Shen Hall!

"Xu... Xu Xiaoshou?"

"The Boss?"

Xu Xiaoshou ignored the outsiders' stares.

He took a deep breath, touched the star diamond earring on his earlobe, and spoke clearly, without hesitation:

"Xiang Yi, save me!"

"It's urgent! Extremely urgent!"
