Chapter 1858: Mystic Sound Secret Techniques

Overwhelming flames fiercely enveloped Xu Yang's soul essence, inflicting an unimaginable impact on his soul power. Yet, at this very moment, Xu Yang gently closed his eyes.

Simultaneously, a dazzling light enveloped his body. The moment this translucent white light appeared, Xu Yang's soul seemed to be completely isolated within the illusionary battlefield.

In the state of Boundless Freedom, Xu Yang's soul essence gained the ability to block all surrounding soul powers and their various attributes, rendering his soul body truly invincible.

As expected, the sound waves intertwined with wind and fire attributes posed no threat whatsoever to his soul body, enveloped by the silver light of the Boundless Freedom state.

"Damn it, how many techniques does this guy master? Why does his soul seem to be hidden in the void, making all my sound waves miss?"

The woman's soul before him grew increasingly agitated. She simply couldn't believe that even after unleashing her signature skill, the Four Directions Profound Sound, she still couldn't harm Xu Yang's soul body in the slightest. Causing even a minor negative impact on Xu Yang would have been acceptable, let alone actual damage.

Xu Yang's current state of Boundless Freedom truly felt like a profound insult to the woman. She felt utterly powerless in front of him.

"I refuse to believe that even my ultimate Four Directions Profound Sound cannot cause you any harm."

The woman gritted her teeth. Suddenly, two subsequent ferocious sound waves of lightning attribute merged with the previous wind and fire elements, bringing the Four Directions Profound Sound to its ultimate state.

"Profound Sound Arcana - Soul Lament!"

In an instant, the four sound waves merged into one before the woman.

Simultaneously, the ancient zither before her seemed to rapidly disintegrate as the immensely powerful Four Directions Profound Sound gathered. Undoubtedly, this was her ultimate arcanum in sound manipulation, an all-or-nothing effort.

When she had performed such attacks before, she had never attempted to merge the four distinct elemental powers of the Four Directions Profound Sound into one.

This was her first time concentrating such an all-out, most powerful force, naturally at the cost of the complete destruction of the ancient zither before her.

Yet, even so, the unified Profound Sound wave was gradually torn to shreds by the terrifying spiritual power released by Xu Yang in his Boundless Freedom state, before it even reached within a hundred meters of his body.

In reality, this was not an action Xu Yang consciously intended. His spiritual power was simply too immense; any spiritual power not on his level had no chance whatsoever to exploit any weakness.

Xu Yang's soul in the Boundless Freedom state had actually transformed into an entirely new form, granting him a soul strength that could look down upon all others—far beyond what the Four Directions Profound Sound could contend with.

As expected, Xu Yang seemed to have had enough fun and had no intention of wasting more time on such a level of power.

He abruptly opened his eyes. Then, his soul essence suddenly projected an immensely powerful, invisible light, which instantly shot out, slamming directly into the center of the woman's soul essence.

The woman was greatly alarmed, instinctively pushing all the rapidly disintegrating zither strings in front of her. The two forces collided violently, finally halting this wave of attack temporarily.

However, the woman's soul body finally realized the significant gap in raw power between herself and Xu Yang, a gap that simply could not be compensated for by any external means.

"Since I can't win, I can only escape."

The woman scoffed, taking a deep look at Xu Yang's almost perfect soul body. Although her heart was filled with unwillingness, the undeniable disparity in raw power between them meant that no matter how she compensated or tried, it would not change the ultimate outcome.

"Since I'm not your opponent, there's no point in hesitating," she said. "However, there's no way you can catch me. Just wait for your two companions to perish in the Lost Mountains, hahaha."

The woman was still forcing a smile, trying to save face.

The next moment, her previously complete soul essence suddenly transformed into five boneless true spirits, rapidly dispersing in five directions within the verdant jungle. Clearly, this was her specialized escape technique.

Xu Yang scoffed, returning from his Boundless Freedom state to his original form. He was in no hurry to immediately pursue; instead, he calmly activated his Divine Eye ability.

However, Xu Yang did indeed receive a surprise. He quickly discovered that even with his Divine Eye, he couldn't see through the essence of the five boneless true spirits before him. In other words, with just his Divine Eye ability, Xu Yang couldn't pinpoint which of the five true spirits truly held the woman's soul essence.

If he were to rashly analyze one of the clones, it would likely be extremely difficult for Xu Yang to re-trace the location of the woman's soul essence.

He had to be fully prepared before acting. With this thought, a new idea immediately surfaced in Xu Yang's mind.

Behind him, an incredibly powerful sword soul, radiating sword energy, quickly materialized. It was none other than the Grand Spirit Sword Soul, Xu Yang's proudest and third-ranked among his current nine swords.

Although this sword soul had not yet awakened its exclusive divine artifact talent, it naturally possessed immensely powerful sword energy fluctuations from the moment it formed.

Furthermore, its powerful sword aura could resonate to some extent with the myriad ways of heaven and earth. It was also a sword soul highly valued by Xu Yang, and he intended to make it his next complete main divine artifact.

As expected, the moment the Grand Spirit Sword Soul materialized, it immediately understood its master's true intention, as they were connected in spirit.

After Xu Yang's spiritual power was injected into it, the Grand Spirit Sword Soul let out a resounding roar, its powerful sword energy rapidly enveloping every corner of the surrounding verdant bamboo forest dreamscape.

It quickly traced the location of each boneless true spirit's aura, actually helping Xu Yang pinpoint the true spiritual body among the five that carried the woman's soul essence! It was the first true spirit fleeing to the left.

"Heh, nothing can hide from my Grand Spirit Sword Soul," Xu Yang scoffed. "I'd like to see how far this true body, carrying your soul essence, can flee."

Xu Yang scoffed and lightly waved his palm, allowing the Grand Spirit Sword Soul to carry his body as it swiftly pursued in the corresponding direction within the dreamscape.
