342: First Battle in Silver Sea

Nangong Feiyun walked back to the Yuan Ling Sect group and said helplessly, "The Silver Sea people are very firm in their attitude. They said that there have been strange anomalies in the inner regions of the Cosmic Abyss, and entry is temporarily not allowed."

Yang Long said disdainfully, "What anomalies? It must be news of the cosmic core appearing. They already know about it and are controlling the number of people entering."

Xun Xiuyuan had not yet met the Silver Sea people and asked, "Then what should we do? Return to base?"

Nangong Feiyun shook his head, "Sect Master Qing Hui's order to us was to go to where the cosmic core appeared. We definitely have to go in. The Silver Sea's obstruction is also within expectations. If it doesn't work, we'll just force our way through."

Nangong Feiyun's attitude was very firm.

However, Yang Long on the side spoke again, "The Silver Sea people have incredibly powerful physiques. Although their Soul cultivation is not good, their technology is strong, and every warrior has a Soul Secret Treasure for defense. It might be a bit difficult for us to force our way through."

Nangong Feiyun nodded, "When I went to negotiate just now, I found 500 True Saints and even 40 Great Saints. It is indeed difficult for us to force our way through with our current strength."

Xun Xiuyuan's eyes lit up after hearing Yang Long's words, "Their Soul defense is not good?"

Yang Long knew Xun Xiuyuan's thoughts and poured cold water on him, "But their Soul Secret Treasures for defense are very powerful. Although their mental power is not high, their combat power is still incredibly strong. Phantom Poison Universe mostly ends in failure when facing the Silver Sea Universe."

Xun Xiuyuan laughed, "I'll go scout ahead. If it's feasible, you guys charge through. If not, retreat. There's no loss."

Five hundred True Saints and forty Great Saints—this was another huge exotic beast value that couldn't be wasted.

Nangong Feiyun had no better solution, and coupled with Xun Xiuyuan's dazzling achievements, he agreed to Xun Xiuyuan's suggestion without much thought.

Xun Xiuyuan came before the checkpoint set up by the Silver Sea Universe, standing in a hidden spot, observing the Silver Sea warriors inside the checkpoint.

This was the first time Xun Xiuyuan had close contact with the Silver Sea people. They were three meters tall, with explosive muscles all over their bodies, truly muscle-bound men.

The humans of the Silver Sea Universe and the Phantom Poison Universe seemed to be two extremes.

All the talents of the Silver Sea human race were focused on physique, with lower cultivation in soul and mental power.

All the talents of the Illusory Poison human race were focused on Soul cultivation. Soul Secret Skills were innate and contained corrosive properties, but their physical bodies were incredibly weak.

The leading Great Saint on the opposite side was quite alert and looked towards Xun Xiuyuan's location. When he saw Xun Xiuyuan, he was also stunned: God King Realm? Can God King Realm cultivators now enter the Cosmic Abyss for exploration?

Had the Yuan Ling Universe reached this point?

Xun Xiuyuan's physique had already been exposed, and the Great Saint on the opposite side determined Xun Xiuyuan's origin with just one glance.

When the other party looked at him, Xun Xiuyuan even smiled at him.

Then, a super-large-range Dream of a Thousand Years directly enveloped the entire checkpoint.

In just an instant, all the True Saints were in a trance. Even with the defense of their Soul Secret Treasures, the gap in realms was still very obvious.

Xun Xiuyuan's mental power exceeded 100 million, equivalent to the soul attack of a peak early-stage Great Saint. The Soul Secret Treasures in the sea of consciousness of the Silver Sea's True Saints shattered one after another, and then they fell into a dream.

The forty Great Saints were also instantly dragged into a dream when Xun Xiuyuan's Dream of a Thousand Years fell. Although they struggled out quickly, Xun Xiuyuan's attack was not just one wave.

As the Great Saints on the opposite side were about to awaken, Dream of a Thousand Years enveloped them again, completely disregarding whether their souls could withstand it.

Xun Xiuyuan could now cast two full-power Dream of a Thousand Years in a row without using exotic beast value for recovery.

However, after casting Dream of a Thousand Years twice, Xun Xiuyuan consumed five trillion exotic beast value to fully restore his state, looking at the checkpoint opposite.

All the True Saints, after entering the dream, never woke up again.

As for the Great Saints, they were still struggling in the dream.

After two invasions of Dream of a Thousand Years, most of the Great Saints' Soul Secret Treasures for defense had cracks.

Xun Xiuyuan had no intention of close combat. Although his physique was incredibly strong and he was not afraid of the so-called tough physiques of the Silver Sea people at all.

But if Dream of a Thousand Years was the bane of the Silver Sea people, then why bother with anything else? Xun Xiuyuan naturally had to test it out.

With the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth castings of Dream of a Thousand Years, the Great Saints on the opposite side eventually fell to the ground, unconscious, due to the shattering of their Soul Secret Treasures for defense.

Xun Xiuyuan listened to the prompts in his mind, making a huge profit.

He had only recovered three times, but the exotic beast value was several quadrillions, which was incredibly satisfying.

Compared to the Illusory Poison people, the Silver Sea human race was easier to kill.

After collecting all the corpses, he obtained several hundred cosmic stones, which was also a great harvest.

Nangong Feiyun, who received Xun Xiuyuan's message, arrived outside the checkpoint and, looking at the scene before him, his mouth dropped open.

"How did you do this? Did you kill them all?" Nangong Feiyun asked.

Xun Xiuyuan laughed, "I reasoned with them, and they couldn't argue with me, so they all died of anger. I didn't lay a hand on them."

Yes, Xun Xiuyuan didn't lay a hand, but he used his mind. Soul Secret Skills don't require physical action.

Yang Long, seeing that Xun Xiuyuan was still in the mood to joke, asked in confusion, "Is your Soul Secret Skill even more powerful than that of the Illusory Poison people?"

Actually, Xun Xiuyuan had no doubt about this. His Dream of a Thousand Years was definitely more powerful than the Soul corrosion of the Phantom Poison Universe. It was just that because the mental power of the Illusory Poison human race was quite high and their Soul cultivation was strong, the effect of using Dream of a Thousand Years against them was not very great.

The best way to deal with the Illusory Poison people was, of course, close-quarters combat. The best way to deal with the Silver Sea people was naturally Soul attacks.

Xun Xiuyuan smiled and said to Yang Long, "Perhaps their Soul treasures were taken for maintenance, or maybe they forgot to bring them, who knows? Let's go, we continue."

Xun Xiuyuan's words were, of course, a joke. Nangong Feiyun and Yang Long also nodded and said, "Let's leave this place quickly."

With that, the two led the way, teleporting past the checkpoint, crossing a thousand mountains, and heading towards their destination.

Everyone was very taciturn, not even appearing inside the checkpoint for a moment.

As for the Silver Sea human race corpses scattered all over the ground, it was best to leave them there and let the Silver Sea people be suspicious.

Sure enough, not long after Xun Xiuyuan and the others left, a Silver Sea human race unit from another checkpoint arrived at the location, looking at the scattered corpses.

The leader thoroughly inspected them and then said, "All died from Soul Secret Skills, and the power of the Soul Secret Skills was extremely strong. All their Soul Secret Treasures for defense were destroyed."

He then took out an instrument from a secret facility at the checkpoint. This instrument recorded the entire death process of these Silver Sea troops.

After watching it, the leading Silver Sea human race member said with a serious expression, "We didn't see the killer, we only know it was a powerful Soul attack. Our Great Saints had no ability to fight back at all."
