Chapter 614: Changing Strategy

Shi Lingyun was greatly alarmed upon hearing this. "Boss, do you mean this guy could be a giant soul vessel?"

"Exactly. If my hypothesis proves true, then we absolutely cannot kill this Sin. We must only limit his influence on the battlefield as much as possible. Otherwise, if we rashly abandon his physical body, we might just open Pandora's Box, unleashing endless demons into this world."

Feeling the gravity of the situation, Shi Lingyun dared not be careless any longer. She unleashed the power of the Ice Crystal Scepter in her hand to its utmost. Her entire being was enveloped in an incredibly translucent purple light, and the cultivation technique associated with the Sacred Heavenly Sound artifact was performed to its limit by Shi Lingyun.

Without a doubt, the girl was giving her all for this battle.

Perhaps because the sound blades, raging like a stormy sea, enraged Sin, his soul began to stir restlessly once more. Suddenly, an incredibly heavy roar erupted, a true mental storm radiating rapidly outward from Sin's body as its core.

The intensity of this mental storm was so great that even someone of Xu Yang's realm was shaken!

"Lingyun was right. This level of mental power cannot be possessed by a single individual. It seems my judgment is correct: this Sin is a ticking time bomb!"

The Three-Origin Convergence Formation was finally complete. Three incredibly powerful sources of energy continuously emanated from Long Kun and the other two. The now enraged Sin had begun his furious retaliation, and his first target was undoubtedly the constantly leaping and harassing Long Kun.

"You constantly jumping wild monkey, I'll flatten you!"

The Sin Demon suddenly soared into the air, spreading its immense body. After locking onto Long Kun's aura, it bore down heavily.

No matter how brave Long Kun was, he dared not confront such a massive body head-on. He genuinely feared being flattened into a pulp in one blow. He decisively flashed away, while simultaneously unleashing the blessing of his Phoenix bloodline to its limit. For the first time, the resplendent Phoenix Wings unfurled behind him.

"So this kid has already cultivated Phoenix Wings! I was worried for nothing."

Ling Yao couldn't help but complain. He had almost rushed in to pull Long Kun out, only to find that at the critical moment, Long Kun revealed this trump card, surprising Xu Yang and the other two.

"Phoenix Nirvana: each successful rebirth elevates the Phoenix bloodline to a new level and unlocks a new innate ability. It's likely that these Phoenix Wings are a divine ability Long Kun unlocked during his last breakthrough. He just hasn't had the opportunity to use them until now. Engaging this massive foe while endowed with the ability to fly will undoubtedly allow Long Kun to completely escape his passive state."

Indeed, the moment the Phoenix Wings were unleashed, Long Kun was transformed. He could maneuver freely in the void, maximizing his agility. In contrast, Sin, whose movement speed was already restricted by the surrounding ice-sealing power, began to fall into a passive state.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying roar of the demon continued. Sin's innate roaring ability was originally the most destructive means against others' mental power. If he couldn't be silenced, merely letting him roar endlessly would eventually lead to the mental collapse of Long Kun and the other two.

"Ling Yao! Now! Attack his eyes!"

Long Kun's soul-sense guidance descended once more. Upon receiving this directive, Ling Yao unhesitatingly surged into the void. The enormous Heavenly Sword totem behind him glowed again. This time, Ling Yao did not employ the Myriad Swords Descent, but instead directly and decisively blasted the main body of the Heavenly Sword from his back towards Sin.

The Heavenly Sword, imbued with the legacy of ice-sealing power, had a main sword capable of sealing any deity of the same level. Even Sin dared not underestimate such power. It immediately turned its broad back, using it as a meat shield to resist the unparalleled destructive force.

Indeed, as the power of Ling Yao's Heavenly Sword continued to manifest, the surrounding void also began to freeze. However, when the sword beam struck Sin's incredibly robust back, that sense of powerlessness resurfaced.

"How can this be? This is the strongest blow I can currently unleash, yet it still can't shake this guy's physical body. What exactly is his origin?"

"Hahaha, I told you! In the face of absolute power, your methods are nothing but a game. The moment you decided to oppose Purple Sovereign, this outcome was already destined. You are powerless to change it!"

Sin suddenly lifted its two thick right legs and stomped the ground fiercely. The astonishing power unleashed actually blasted the Heavenly Sword back.

Virtually immune to physical attacks, and able to directly contend with mental attacks thanks to its vast and profound mental power, Sin, this massive foe, seemed to leave Xu Yang's team feeling helpless for the first time.

"This is truly infuriating! Boss, maybe we should just retreat. This guy is simply not something we can handle right now."

This was likely the first time the fearless Long Kun had ever considered retreating. It was clear he was genuinely frustrated. Facing a formidable opponent like the Sin Demon, who seemed to have no weaknesses, filled Long Kun with a profound sense of helplessness.

"Everyone, don't get agitated. Calm yourselves down, and we'll find a way. In this world, every power has something that can restrain it. There's no such thing as absolute invincibility forever. If you panic before even defeating your opponent, you'll never achieve a true breakthrough in your life!"

Xu Yang's speech temporarily calmed the agitated emotions of Long Kun and the other two. Everyone began to compose themselves, starting to ponder the true weakness of this seemingly invincible behemoth.

"Based on your previous engagement, this guy's physical strength is genuinely on a divine level. Finding a breakthrough from that angle won't be easy; even I can't guarantee a single-strike kill.

Since that's the case, we'll attack from the mental plane and look for an opening. Don't forget, Lingyun's Ice Crystal Scepter could very well be our strongest secret weapon for a desperate counterattack, provided we make good use of its replication function."

Xu Yang's words reminded Shi Lingyun once more!

Before this, she had habitually infused her mental power into the Ice Crystal Scepter, but she had never attempted to replicate others' mental abilities. Xu Yang's words now brought her a sudden moment of enlightenment.
