Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Awakening Place

Ye Qingchen stood before Qin Yue and Ye Changqing, facing the terrifying Spiritual Power Wind Blades alone.

As Qin Yue gazed at his resolute figure, she felt a profound sense of security and contentment. Even if we can’t get out of here, it’s worth it to die with him.

However, wounds soon appeared all over Ye Qingchen’s body. These wind blades were incredibly fast and contained immense Spiritual Power. Even with Ye Qingchen’s strength, defending against them was a desperate struggle.

Ye Qingchen activated his Dual Pupil Martial Soul to find weaknesses in the Spiritual Power Wind Blades. Seizing an opportunity, he swung the Qingfeng Sword at one of them.

BANG!

The Spiritual Power Wind Blade shattered on impact. Overjoyed, Ye Qingchen quickly grabbed his father and Qin Yue, preparing to leave.

But to his disappointment, although he had sliced through the wind blade, new ones formed almost immediately, and they were even stronger than before.

Ye Qingchen had no choice but to keep his Dual Pupil Martial Soul active while hacking away with his Qingfeng Sword. Gritting her teeth, Qin Yue supported Ye Changqing and followed Ye Qingchen’s lead as they made their way back in the direction they had come from.

”Hmm?” Ye Qingchen frowned as he looked toward the seemingly empty space ahead. With the aid of his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, he could clearly sense that this was the very spot where the three of them had entered the Spirit Vein Whirlpool.

But now, the entrance had completely vanished. If they wanted to escape, they would have to find a new exit. However, finding one on such short notice was no easy task.

Left with no other options, Ye Qingchen continued to forge a path forward, tirelessly searching for a way out.

But the Spiritual Power Wind Blades were endless. Keeping the Dual Pupil Martial Soul active consumed a huge amount of Vitality Force, and continuously swinging the Qingfeng Sword also drained his Spiritual Energy immensely.

Although Ye Qingchen carried several Spirit Pills to restore his Soul Power and Spiritual Energy, at this rate of consumption, he wouldn’t be able to last long.

After an hour, Ye Qingchen had exhausted his supply of Spirit Pills. By then, he had also suffered serious injuries.

After another ten minutes of struggle, an utterly exhausted Ye Qingchen was struck by a Spiritual Power Wind Blade. He collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.

Without Ye Qingchen to protect them, Qin Yue and Ye Changqing were even less able to fend off the attacks. Soon, all three were covered in wounds, barely clinging to life.

Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth, desperately clinging to consciousness as his mind raced to find a solution to their plight.

”GIGGLE, GIGGLE! How interesting! How very interesting!”

A silvery laugh echoed in Ye Qingchen’s mind, followed by the mysterious woman’s voice. ”Little guy, I just don’t understand. Why are you all so dense?”

Hearing her voice gave Ye Qingchen a jolt. This woman isn’t just unfathomably powerful, she’s also incredibly experienced. If she’s choosing to speak now, she must have a solution!

Ye Qingchen immediately asked, ”Sister, do you have a way to deal with these Spiritual Power Wind Blades?”

The mysterious woman scoffed. ”Deal with them? Why would you want to do that? This is a rare place of enlightenment. It’s bad enough that you don’t understand how to seek insight here, but you actually thought of fighting them? Worse still, you nearly died as a result. You’re utterly foolish.”

Ye Qingchen was about to ask more when, unexpectedly, the mysterious woman walked straight out from within his body.

With delicate, lotus-like steps, she revealed a pair of straight, slender, and shapely legs. A hip-length red skirt clung to her, barely covering the very top of her thighs. She wore a form-fitting, floral blouse that stopped at her navel, exposing a willowy waist so slender it seemed one could encircle it with a single hand. With each step, her hips swayed with a dramatic rhythm. The exaggerated contrast between her narrow waist and full hips, combined with her voluptuous curves, created an incredibly alluring and seductive figure.

This was the first time Ye Qingchen had seen the mysterious woman in the flesh since leaving the Heart Demon Tower. Even though he had seen her form once before, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned by the gorgeous woman before him.

Even Qin Yue found herself staring unblinkingly at the mysterious woman, her expression a mixture of shock and utter amazement.

The mysterious woman said no more. Instead, she began to circulate her Cultivation Technique. The surrounding Spiritual Power Wind Blades seemed drawn by her technique, converging on her before surging into her body.

To Ye Qingchen’s surprise, these terrifying Spiritual Power Wind Blades caused her no harm upon entering her body. Instead, her entire aura grew rapidly stronger.

At the same time, the blades that had been relentlessly attacking the three of them vanished.

Realization dawned on Ye Qingchen. She’s personally demonstrating how to harness and refine the surrounding Spiritual Power Wind Blades!

Witnessing this, Ye Qingchen felt inspired. He sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his Divine Wood Sutra, attempting to draw in the Spiritual Power Wind Blades just as she had.

However, Ye Qingchen was not as bold as the mysterious woman. He only drew a single Spiritual Power Wind Blade into his body before continuously circulating the Divine Wood Sutra to refine it.

Strangely enough, the once-violent Spiritual Power Wind Blade became docile upon entering his body. As Ye Qingchen circulated his internal energy, the blade of power began to flow harmlessly through his meridians.

Ye Qingchen closed his eyes to comprehend, tracing the trajectory of the Spiritual Power Wind Blade as he entered a mysterious and profound state.

The Spiritual Power Wind Blades, after all, were produced by the Spirit Vein Whirlpool. The whirlpool itself was formed from pure Spiritual Energy condensed from the Spirit Stone Mine, so it could naturally be absorbed by Martial Artists.

This was not what surprised Ye Qingchen most. The most surprising thing was feeling a trace of Sword Qi within the Spiritual Power Wind Blade.

Now in a state of sudden enlightenment, Ye Qingchen acted purely on instinct, his body moving on its own. He slowly stood up, raised his Qingfeng Sword, and slashed at an approaching Spiritual Power Wind Blade.

If Ye Qingchen had been conscious, he would surely have noticed that the sword strike he had just launched perfectly mirrored the pattern of the Spiritual Power Wind Blade itself.

SWISH!

The sword strike came down with immense power, shattering several Spiritual Power Wind Blades. As Ye Qingchen regained consciousness, his eyes lit up at the sight of the destroyed blades.

Just a moment ago, I needed the Dual Pupil Martial Soul to barely cut one of them. But now, I can destroy several at once without it!

Ye Qingchen understood that this huge boost in his combat power came from the insight he’d gained from that single Spiritual Power Wind Blade. Without hesitation, he continued to draw more blades into his body to deepen his enlightenment.

He continued to gain insight, swinging his Qingfeng Sword again and again. Each strike was more powerful than the last.

Seeing the change in Ye Qingchen, Qin Yue and Ye Changqing seemed to understand. Following his example, they too began to absorb the Spiritual Power Wind Blades and seek their own enlightenment.

The very Spiritual Power Wind Blades that had nearly cost them their lives were now being harnessed for constant breakthroughs. At the same time, the potent Spiritual Power within the blades nourished their bodies, rapidly healing their injuries.
