186: Chapter 186 Divine Soul Shatters the Saint! Five Saints are Bound by a Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation!

*Gulp!*

Jiang Wuji swallowed hard instinctively, waves of shock surging within his heart.

He had originally thought that Ye Chen's strength approaching their own was already shocking enough.

He never expected that this was merely the tip of the iceberg of Ye Chen's power, not the full picture at all.

Under the sweeping sword light, a powerhouse whose strength was equal to his own had perished instantly!

"Kid Ye Chen..."

Li Yuncang, who had only just rushed out several hundred miles, also instinctively took a few steps back.

The wariness and fear on his face could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.

He had no doubt that if that sword light had been aimed at him, he would have had absolutely no chance of survival.

This meant that the sword light was capable of more than just instantly killing a Saint Realm Fifth Stage powerhouse.

Even against existences at the Saint Realm Sixth, Seventh, or even Eighth Stage, it was highly likely to achieve an instant kill!

Gu Hong, whose body was covered in Death Qi, had his pupils contract violently before a look of 'as expected' appeared on his face.

He had seen earlier that Ye Chen was far from simple.

Now, Ye Chen had used practical action to prove that his intuition remained sharp.

Based on that single sword light alone, Ye Chen could already be called the number one expert in North Heaven Province!

Gu Yuan, Lei Qianjun, Ma Xuan, Yuan Kui, and the other Saint Realm powerhouses felt their hearts pounding wildly, unable to calm down.

In their eyes, Takada Yutaka indeed had no way of surviving today, but not in this manner.

Takada Yutaka was, after all, a Saint Realm Fifth Stage existence; killing him was no easy feat.

Their plan was for multiple Saint Realm powerhouses to join forces and besiege him to death.

It wasn't supposed to be a single flash of Sword Qi that directly annihilated his entire Divine Soul.

Leaving behind only a lifeless physical shell to fall from the sky before their very eyes!

"Terrifyingly powerful!"

Ye Chen paid no mind to the reactions of the many Saint Realm powerhouses.

Seeing Takada Yutaka's body falling, he simply waved his hand and performed the Universe in the Sleeve Divine Ability.

*Hum!*

A powerful suction force erupted, pulling Takada Yutaka's falling body into his sleeve.

This was the body of a Saint Realm powerhouse; although it lacked a Divine Soul, it was still a great supplement.

This single body of a Saint Realm powerhouse alone was worth hundreds or even thousands of Manifest Saint Realm Peak powerhouses!

*Boom!*

Just as Takada Yutaka's body was swallowed by the Universe in the Sleeve, the aura of Ye Chen's cultivation surged violently.

This was not the result of a single cultivation path breaking through, but three paths breaking through simultaneously.

Spiritual energy cultivation, Breakthrough... Due Realm Ninth Stage!

Physical Body cultivation, Breakthrough... Manifest Saint Realm Seventh Stage!

Divine Soul cultivation, Breakthrough... Saint Realm First Stage!

In this instant, Ye Chen felt as if his Divine Soul had undergone a transformation in its level of life.

His life dimension suddenly rose, and many things he couldn't figure out before were understood in an instant.

The upper limit of his Comprehension Ability had increased by more than several times compared to before; this was a qualitative transformation.

"Is this the Divine Soul of the Saint Realm? It truly is infinitely mysterious!"

Ye Chen glanced at his own body with some surprise and smiled with satisfaction.

Now, he finally had one aspect of his cultivation that had truly stepped into the category of the Saint Realm.

Previously, although his combat power had long reached the Saint Realm.

In the final analysis, none of his cultivation bases had touched the threshold of the Saint Realm.

Today was different; in a certain sense, he could now be called a Saint Realm powerhouse!

Sensing Ye Chen's cultivation surge again, the already horrified Saint Realm powerhouses were simply numbed.

Were they sure they were here today for a war between two empires?

Why did it feel like they weren't here to participate in any Great War at all?

Instead, they were here as spectators—spectators witnessing Ye Chen's cultivation skyrocket!

As if thinking of something, Ye Chen's gaze turned toward the remaining Saint Realm powerhouses of the Blood Martial Empire.

With a gentle expression on his face, he spoke with extreme tenderness.

"Fellow Daoists of the Blood Martial Empire, may I borrow your lives and physical bodies for a moment?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining five Saint Realm powerhouses of the Blood Martial Empire were instantly scared out of their wits.

Without even thinking, they directly burned their essence blood to gain more speed to escape.

"Run! We must run! Get out of here... get out of here!"

The five Saint Realm powerhouses of the Blood Martial Empire had lost all Battle Intent; only the single thought of escaping remained in their minds.

Even the direction they were fleeing was not toward the Blood Martial Empire.

As long as they could escape this place, they were willing to never return to the Blood Martial Empire and become loners.

That Ye Chen of the East State Empire was too terrifying; he was simply a devil, a monster.

If it could let them get further away from Ye Chen, even further, they were willing to pay any price!

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan and the other Saint Realm powerhouses looked at each other, somewhat speechless.

Dignified Saint Realm powerhouses were scared into fleeing for their lives by a single sentence from a kid with Due Realm cultivation.

This was probably the first time such a thing had happened in the entire North Heaven Province and the East Region in countless years, right?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes today, they would never have believed such an absurd thing could happen!

Saint Realm powerhouses, who represented the strongest title in North Heaven Province, did not dare to fight Ye Chen, who was only in the Due Realm!

Though they were speechless, Gu Yuan and the other powerhouses did not hesitate at all.

After a moment of daze, they all turned into streaks of light and chased after them.

No matter what, not a single person from the Blood Martial Empire could be allowed to escape today!

Seeing this, a half-smile appeared on the corners of Ye Chen's mouth.

"Escape? Are you sure you can escape?"

As he spoke, he moved his mind and activated the Immortal Martial Transformation to boost his overall combat power.

Then, a different kind of light blossomed within his pitch-black pupils.

"Pupil Technique: Hundred Generations Reincarnation!"

Powerful pupil power erupted, instantly turning the space within ten thousand miles into a pitch-black canopy.

The Blood Martial Empire Saint Realm powerhouses, who had not yet fled beyond ten thousand miles, felt their bodies stiffen.

Expressions of confusion gradually appeared on their faces, and as time passed, their life force declined sharply.

Only one or two Saint Realm powerhouses showed expressions of struggle, yet they were still unable to wake up.

Their Divine Souls had already been pulled into a Divine Soul illusion, sinking into it and unable to extricate themselves.

They also simultaneously lost all ability to control their physical bodies!

The environment that had suddenly turned pitch-black made Gu Yuan and the others extremely vigilant.

But when they discovered that this was a method used by Ye Chen, they felt relieved again.

Only in their hearts did their amazement and wariness grow even stronger.

Just where was this kid's limit?

Having been pulled into the endless Divine Soul illusion by the Pupil Technique: Hundred Generations Reincarnation.

The Blood Martial Empire powerhouses who had come to a halt were overtaken by Gu Yuan and the others in an instant.

Looking at the Blood Martial Empire Saint Realm powerhouses before them who had no power to resist at all.

Gu Yuan and the others had extremely complex expressions.

So this Great War between two empires ended just like that, so abruptly?

They had only tested each other out with the people from the Blood Martial Empire at the very beginning.

After that, there was nothing left for them to do; all the Saint Realm powerhouses were dealt with by Ye Chen alone.

No, to be precise, both the upper and lower battlefields were easily settled by Ye Chen alone!

After using their means to bind the powerhouses of the Blood Martial Empire, Gu Yuan and the others hurried back to where Ye Chen was.

They wanted to ask what kind of method Ye Chen had just used.

To be able to make five Saint Realm powerhouses instantly lose their ability to resist from a distance of thousands of miles.

They had never even heard of such a powerful method!

On the way back, Yuan Kui and the other three Beiluo Empire powerhouses felt incredibly fortunate in their hearts.

They had bet correctly; their Beiluo Empire had backed the right horse this time.

By relying on the prestige of the East State Empire, their Beiluo Empire would sweep away its weakness and rise again!

Thirty thousand miles away, Long Daotian and the other powerhouses of the Heavenly Dragon Empire were incredibly shocked.

The expressions on their faces were frozen, and they didn't know what kind of expression to show.

Exaggerated, it was simply too exaggerated; a Due Realm killing Saint Realms like killing chickens!

Long Daotian suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of the look of a survivor.

"Fortunately, I didn't offend Ye Chen too much before, otherwise my Heavenly Dragon Empire... would be in danger!"

Even though he was a Saint Realm Seventh Stage powerhouse, he had no confidence in dealing with Ye Chen's bizarre methods.

This boy Ye Chen had already come into his own; within North Heaven Province, no one could be his enemy anymore.

North Heaven Province had completely changed, and the sudden rise of the East State Empire was likewise unstoppable!
