207: Strange Sea of Consciousness
Seeing Chen Li fall, Wei Tieshan's expression tightened immediately, and he rushed forward to catch Chen Li.
Chen Li spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Leave this place, that ghost race still has helpers."
Chen Li had no idea who that ghost race with black markings all over his face was, only referring to him as 'that ghost race'.
Wei Tieshan immediately interjected, "Chu You has helpers?"
Chu You was precisely that ghost race with a face full of black markings.
Chen Li nodded, "I fought a great battle with him. This person's strength is indeed considerable. At the very least, he is a strong individual who has integrated six Laws into himself for a long time, probably even on the verge of successfully integrating the seventh Law."
"The two of us were originally evenly matched. If we fought to the death, I might have been slightly stronger. However, another ghost race suddenly appeared, just like him, also covered in black markings."
"And his realm was also that of an Invincible Celestial God. Seeing that there was an ambush, and fearing that the Palace Lord might be ambushed, I desperately withstood one attack and returned to this place."
"I set a spatial coordinate here, so I could return directly. I estimate they will arrive very soon. We should still return to the Cage Domain. My elder brother is there, so we definitely won't suffer a loss."
Chen Li said so much in one breath, just wanting to quickly clarify the situation.
Xun Xiuyuan listened to Chen Li's words and said, "Grandpa Chen, there's no need. I have already advanced to Celestial God, so dealing with an Invincible Celestial God is not a problem."
In fact, Xun Xiuyuan's strength already far surpassed that of an ordinary Invincible Celestial God. Seven Laws and six Laws seemed similar, but in reality, the difference in strength was immense.
Although there was only a difference of one Law, the strength saw a qualitative leap.
Chen Sheng and Chen Li, the two brothers, had been Invincible Celestial Gods for over a thousand years, but the power of the seventh Law had not yet been fully integrated into their bodies.
From this, one could see the difference between the sixth Law and the seventh Law.
Chen Li rushed back to deliver the message and had no time to examine everyone. Now, after hearing Xun Xiuyuan's words, he carefully examined Xun Xiuyuan.
Immediately, he widened his eyes in surprise.
Because when he examined Xun Xiuyuan's cultivation at this moment, he only felt a blur, making it difficult to discern.
This clearly indicated a situation where the realm was higher than his own.
Xun Xiuyuan saw Chen Li's wide eyes and smiled, "Believe me now?"
Then, Xun Xiuyuan said to Wei Tieshan, "Old Wei, you take them back, further away, so they aren't affected. Take Grandpa Chen with you."
He then said to Zhan Tian, "You set up a formation to hold back one Invincible Celestial God. I'll come to assist you after I've slain him."
Zhan Tian nodded in agreement and immediately began setting up the formation.
Soon, the space in front of Xun Xiuyuan rippled like water. Chu You appeared here with another ghost race also covered in black markings.
When Chu You saw Xun Xiuyuan, he thought for a moment, "You are that young man from the Cage Domain. Where is that Invincible Celestial God from earlier?"
The orders Chu You received were very simple: kill all personnel belonging to the War God Hall in the Chaotic Realm.
He had always believed Chen Li to be a secret agent of the War God Hall, otherwise, where would so many Invincible Celestial Gods come from?
Xun Xiuyuan smiled, "He's in the void not far behind me. If you kill me, you can go find him."
Chu You carefully looked at Xun Xiuyuan, immediately becoming confused. This realm, it seemed wrong.
Chu You then waved his hand lightly, "You go block the Zhan Character Battalion. I'll deal with him and then come to assist you."
From this sentence, it was clear that Chu You was very aware of the existence of the Zhan Character Battalion, and also knew that his companion could only hold them off.
The moment Chu You finished speaking, his figure vanished, reappearing behind Xun Xiuyuan. A pitch-black dagger directly stabbed towards Xun Xiuyuan's lower back.
Xun Xiuyuan's reaction was extremely fast, but the dagger still pierced his divine body.
However, under the resistance of the god slaying armor, the dagger did not penetrate at all, and Xun Xiuyuan used the force to dodge.
Xun Xiuyuan was secretly alarmed. This guy must have integrated the Law of Space into himself, otherwise, his ghost-like movement technique would be difficult to explain.
At this moment, space was already as solid as iron, making it very difficult for even Xun Xiuyuan's strength to teleport. However, Chu You could still perform short-distance teleports to assist in combat.
Xun Xiuyuan's gaze towards Chu You was once again filled with eagerness. This guy must be captured. The Law of Space was too rare. He couldn't possibly kill Bai Nao or Wei Tieshan, could he?
Xun Xiuyuan closed his eyes and directly unleashed Dream of a Thousand Years, enveloping Chu You and his companion. Immediately, both of them were affected, falling into a daze.
Xun Xiuyuan knew that his Dream of a Thousand Years couldn't do much to the two of them, at most a momentary daze.
And Xun Xiuyuan's goal was precisely this momentary daze.
In this fleeting moment of daze, three Soul Pierces, resembling black glass, directly stabbed towards Chu You's sea of consciousness.
The ghost race's souls were inherently powerful, and their mental strength was also very high, so naturally, their sea of consciousness was the most solid.
The three Soul Pierces broke through the outer protection of Chu You's sea of consciousness and directly pierced into it.
This was the first time Xun Xiuyuan had seen such a bizarre sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness of ordinary people, whether mountains or seas, always had a tangible form.
But in Chu You's sea of consciousness, there were only black, twisted, snake-like small black creatures.
The entire sea of consciousness was filled with these things, which was quite terrifying.
At this moment, Chu You's condition was not good. Under normal circumstances, he had been able to suppress the foreign objects in his sea of consciousness for many years, and he had never allowed the foreign objects to successfully backfire.
But at this moment, Chu You's sea of consciousness was injured by the Soul Pierces. Immediately, those small black snakes lurking deep within his sea of consciousness all became active, rising up to resist Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Pierces.
Because Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Pierces were not only aimed at Chu You's sea of consciousness but also at those small black snakes.
Those small black snakes seemed to have their own consciousness, coiling around Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Pierces one after another, not giving up even as their divine bodies were dissolved by the Soul Pierces.
Xun Xiuyuan sensed his Soul Pierces gradually dissolving and was helpless. What kind of sea of consciousness was that? Normal humans would never have such a thing.
No, that's wrong. Even normal ghost races wouldn't possess such a sea of consciousness.
No longer considering much, since soul attacks were not very effective against this guy, then it would be close combat.
The Blood God Body's amplification was very strong. Xun Xiuyuan, with seven Laws integrated into his divine body, was like a humanoid war machine at this moment.
Speed, strength, defense, reaction speed, perception, and so on, were all incredibly powerful.
He charged directly at Chu You, wielding the King's Blade. With one slash, heaven and earth changed color.
At this moment, Chu You's expression towards Xun Xiuyuan was filled with various emotions: surprise, confusion, and more.
Seeing Xun Xiuyuan's slash, which contained an inexplicable trajectory, he shouted, "Retreat."
Then, the two of them transformed into countless small black snakes, directly burrowing into the iron-solid space and disappearing.
