154: Chapter 152 Soul Attack That Ignores Defense

The bead was crystal clear, with a gentle yet deep blue light flowing through it, quietly hovering in front of him; it was precisely the divine soul bead.

At the same time as his Breakthrough to 4th Rank Dou Zun, his Soul also naturally stepped into the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage.

It was from that moment that Ling Yuan knew the divine soul bead had other uses.

In the past, the divine soul bead could only passively help him temper his Soul and nourish his Soul Essence, serving only an auxiliary function.

After reaching the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, the divine soul bead could unexpectedly be mobilized at will, controlled as he pleased.

Most importantly, it also possessed offensive capabilities.

Ling Yuan continuously poured his own Soul Power into the divine soul bead.

In an instant, the blue light of the divine soul bead surged, and the originally gentle radiance became sharp and bone-chilling. A highly condensed blue light beam shot out instantly, piercing through the sky full of lightning, and shone directly toward the lightning giant.

This Soul beam did not have any earth-shattering momentum, nor did it have explosive destructive power, yet it directly ignored the lightning defense around Lei Zhen and his Physical Body's protective Qi, piercing through the surface of his body and reaching deep into his Soul with precision.

The lightning giant, who was charging fiercely, suddenly froze in place.

The next second, Lei Zhen let out a shrill howl of pain. His massive giant body trembled violently, and he clutched his head tightly, his face filled with agony.

He immediately mobilized all his Soul Power to build up a defense, but it was completely useless.

The attack from the divine soul bead was extremely eerie, completely ignoring all Qi and Soul defenses, striking directly at the root.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart, having thoroughly grasped the Heaven-Defying ability of the divine soul bead.

A true Soul attack that ignores defense is equivalent to solid, real damage.

He finally understood the terrifying nature of this supreme treasure.

As long as his Soul strength is sufficient, by first using the divine soul bead to invade the opponent's Soul before the battle, even if the opponent's Physical Body is invincible and their defense is maxed out, their Soul will be instantly injured.

Once the Soul is damaged, combat power will plummet, making subsequent battles much easier.

A Soul attack that ignores defense—this characteristic of the divine soul bead is simply unsolvable.

Of course, it is not perfect; its drawback is that the attack consumes a huge amount, extremely overdrawing the Soul Essence.

With Ling Yuan's current Soul foundation at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, under full activation, he can release it at most three times.

If it exceeds three times, the Soul load will be overloaded, and he himself will suffer a backlash, injuring his foundation.

But even with only three opportunities, Ling Yuan was already very satisfied.

He himself specializes in the Soul, far surpassing everyone at the same Realm.

Three unsolvable real Soul attacks are enough to let him crush experts several Realms above him.

As long as the Soul Realm is not higher than Ling Yuan's, no matter how high their Realm is, they could still be injured by Ling Yuan.

Look, on the arena, Lei Zhen, who was hit by the Divine Soul beam, was completely frozen.

An extreme stinging pain of the Soul swept through his entire body; he simply could not maintain the form of the Thunder Rage Nine Heavens, and the massive lightning giant body began to dissipate rapidly.

Ling Yuan would not miss this excellent opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment the opponent's defense collapsed, he quickly gathered Qi with both hands and pushed out a condensed, thick force of energy.

By the time he reached under the arena, Lei Zhen was still clutching his head, constantly moaning in his mouth.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.

The divine soul bead hovering above his head slowly flowed out a gentle and warm Soul Power, softly enveloping Lei Zhen to help him soothe his damaged Soul Essence.

After a full cup of tea's time, the tearing pain deep in Lei Zhen's Soul completely dissipated.

He slowly let go of his hands; his head still had a slight buzzing, and his consciousness was slightly dazed, but there was no major issue, and he had completely recovered.

He looked up at Ling Yuan on the high platform, his eyes completely changed, full of wariness, even carrying a trace of fear.

That kind of excruciating pain coming from the depths of the Soul was unsolvable, unsolvable, and nowhere to hide; he never wanted to endure it a second time in his life.

Lei Zhen bowed to Ling Yuan: "The Ling Clan is indeed worthy of its reputation, possessing the most top-tier Soul techniques; this old man is convinced. Young Clan Leader Ling, I admire you."

At this moment, he was both afraid and grateful in his heart.

He feared Ling Yuan's unsolvable Soul killer move, but was also grateful that Ling Yuan showed mercy and even helped him repair his Soul damage afterward, not leaving him with any permanent hidden dangers.

The people under the stage witnessed Ling Yuan defeating Lei Zhen with their own eyes and felt only shock.

Everyone was full of doubts, as no one recognized the blue bead that Ling Yuan had brought out just now.

There was clearly no terrifying Qi explosion, no domineering Physical Body impact, yet just with that faint blue light, he instantly defeated an Elementary Half-Saint.

What was that bead?

How did it defeat Lei Zhen in one go?

Are these the techniques of the Ling Clan?

Ling Jiao stood to the side, watching his own Young Clan Leader crush a Half-Saint, the joy on his face unable to be hidden, feeling immensely proud in his heart.

Our Young Clan Leader is just that awesome!

Suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth, Ling Jiao stepped forward, looked around the arena, and spoke loudly.

"Which other guest is willing to come up to the stage to challenge?"

Ling Yuan also looked toward the Half-Saints of the Yan Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Medicine Clan.

In the whole arena, there were only these three people left who could fight him.

The Yan Clan's leading Elder was an Intermediate Half-Saint, the Medicine Clan's leading Elder was an Elementary Half-Saint, and the Gu Clan's leading Elder was a High-Stage Half-Saint.

The three of them basically represented the highest combat power at the scene, excluding the Ling Clan.

Ling Yuan could still use that kind of attack twice now, and he hoped that the High-Stage Half-Saint from the Gu Clan would come up to challenge him.

When treating the Gu Clan, he did not plan to be polite.

If the opponent just came up, Ling Yuan did not plan to clash Qi with him.

He would directly throw two attacks from the divine soul bead at him.

If he can withstand it, then he is tough.

The Half-Saint Elders who were scanned by Ling Yuan's gaze—the moment they were scanned by Ling Yuan's gaze, all three Half-Saints subconsciously lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact, and none of them dared to respond.

Everyone had seen the way Lei Zhen painfully wailed and struggled powerlessly just now, and it remained fresh in their memories.

Among the Elders of the various Clans present, the Medicine Clan's Soul foundation was slightly stronger, while the Soul cultivation of the Gu Clan and the Yan Clan was about the same as Lei Zhen's.

The Soul attack that Lei Zhen could not withstand would not have any different result if they went up.

No matter how strong the Physical Body or how thick the Qi, they could not block Ling Yuan's eerie Soul attack.

No one was willing to go up on stage to bring humiliation upon themselves, and even fewer were willing to experience that tearing pain of the Soul once more.

Rather than going up to be heavily injured and lose face, it was better to keep silent and pretend that nothing was happening.

The entire square instantly fell into a dead silence, with not a sound, and no one answered for a long time.

Even Lei Dong, who always liked to spar with Ling Yuan and would go up even if he was being abused, was completely terrified at this moment.

Seeing his own Clan's Half-Saint Elder crushed with his own eyes made him recall the fear of being dominated by Ling Yuan in the past.

No one dared to go on stage again, so Ling Jiao announced the end of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

"Those who come are guests; friends from various Clans can stay in the Spirit Realm for a few more days."

People dispersed one after another, but everyone's mind was filled with the shocking scene of Ling Yuan defeating a Half-Saint while at a lower Realm.

It must be said that this Coming-of-Age Ceremony really let the Ling Clan show off.

A twenty-five-year-old 4th Rank Dou Zun, God-tier Bloodline, a 4th Rank Dou Zun defeating an Elementary Half-Saint while at a lower Realm.

I believe that before long, the name of the Genius Ling Yuan will spread throughout the Dou Di Clans, and even the Central Plains.
