Invincible Soul Emperor

At that moment, Huan Xinghe recalled that Ye Qingchen and his companions had consumed the green dragon fruit, making him envious once again.

Since entering the chaotic labyrinth, Huan Xinghe hadn’t even had time to hunt for treasures before running into Ye Qingchen, his nemesis. What infuriated him was that they had all entered the labyrinth around the same time, so why had Ye Qingchen been lucky enough to obtain the green dragon fruit in such a short period? If he had obtained the green dragon fruit and broken through to the Martial King Realm, wouldn’t he be able to strut around the chaotic labyrinth with his eight-star Galaxy Martial Soul?

However, Ye Qingchen gave him no chance for such wishful thinking, continuing his assault with Martial Techniques. Huan Xinghe could only barely defend himself, desperately holding on and hoping that the Huanyue Sect disciples would quickly take care of Liang Fei and come to his aid.

To Huan Xinghe’s despair, Liang Fei had now reached the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm. Although the four Huanyue Sect disciples had him in a tight spot, the advantage of his Martial Techniques and Cultivation Technique ensured that he was in no immediate danger.

Things were different for Huan Xinghe, however. Ye Qingchen’s attacks grew fiercer with each strike, and he feared it wouldn’t be long before he was overwhelmed. Furthermore, as Ye Qingchen’s Realm had improved, his Soul Power had greatly increased. As a result, Huan Xinghe’s eight-star Galaxy Martial Soul could barely suppress Ye Qingchen’s Willow Wood Martial Soul.

”We can’t drag this out any longer! Help me use the Secret Technique!” Huan Xinghe shouted at the four Huanyue Sect disciples.

The four disciples hesitated. They were in the heat of battle; if they transferred their power to Huan Xinghe, their own combat effectiveness would plummet. They would be lucky to retain even a fraction of their strength. Although the four of them were currently pressing Liang Fei, the situation would change instantly if they transferred their Spiritual Power to Huan Xinghe. Given Liang Fei’s gloating and ruthless nature, he would surely strike without mercy.

Huan Xinghe understood their hesitation. But if he didn’t use the Secret Technique to attain the combat power of a Martial King now, his own life would be forfeit. Although using the technique might lead to the deaths of the four disciples, when it came to his own life, Huan Xinghe knew what to choose. He couldn’t voice these thoughts directly, however, and instead tried to persuade them.

”Help me attain the combat power of a Martial King now, and I can quickly kill Chen Qingye before coming to your aid. If I’m defeated by him, you’ll all die too!”

The four Huanyue Sect disciples exchanged glances and reluctantly began to activate the Secret Technique. Transferring their Spiritual Power to Huan Xinghe offered a glimmer of hope. If they disobeyed, even if they survived, Huan Xinghe’s vengeful nature guaranteed he would seek revenge for today’s events.

”You still want to use a Secret Technique? Did you ask for my permission?” Ye Qingchen sneered, seeing Huan Xinghe preparing to repeat his old trick.

As Huan Xinghe formed the Hand Seals for the Secret Technique, Ye Qingchen also began making Hand Seals into the void. Huan Xinghe felt his power continuously increasing and his aura sharply rising, but after Ye Qingchen made his own Hand Seals, the sensation began to dissipate.

Huan Xinghe’s expression changed drastically. Ye Qingchen can actually obstruct my Secret Technique? How is this possible? If he had this ability, why didn’t he stop me the last time I used it? Could he have become a formidable Array Master in such a short time? A series of questions flooded his mind.

This method of borrowing power was, after all, a unique technique of the Huanyue Sect. Even a typical Array Master shouldn’t be able to interrupt the Secret Technique merely by forming Hand Seals!

Seeing the Secret Technique interrupted, bitterness rose in his heart. At the same time, he couldn’t help but lament internally, Father, what kind of person did you provoke? This Chen Qingye looks to be only eighteen or nineteen, yet he possesses such formidable combat strength. It’s not just that he’s powerful; he’s also a Sixth-Grade Pill King. Now I realize he’s an Array Master too! Everyone calls me a genius, but compared to him, what kind of genius am I?!

For the first time, Huan Xinghe felt a profound sense of defeat. He quickly suppressed the emotion and waved at the four Huanyue Sect disciples. They ceased their siege on Liang Fei and gathered at his side. The four disciples were also shocked. The Secret Technique was already halfway activated, so why had a sudden, inexplicable energy severed their connection to Huan Xinghe?

Liang Fei arrived beside Ye Qingchen, panting, and said irritably, ”Ye Qingchen, why didn’t you finish things quickly and come help me? I’m exhausted.”

Ye Qingchen just smiled and shook his head. Looking at the sweaty Liang Fei, he said, ”You should exercise more. It’s good for losing weight.”

After speaking, Ye Qingchen paid no more attention to the indignant Liang Fei, turning instead to see what other tricks Huan Xinghe had up his sleeve.

Ye Qingchen had only been able to interrupt Huan Xinghe’s casting because of the Formation left around the thatched cottage. He had merely used Hand Seals to activate it, and the Formation itself had autonomously severed the connection between Huan Xinghe and his disciples. With Ye Qingchen’s current skill in Formations, it would have been impossible to achieve such an effect with Hand Seals alone.

However, Ye Qingchen did not press his attack. Despite the situation being clearly hopeless for Huan Xinghe, Ye Qingchen couldn’t see a single trace of panic in his eyes. This made him certain that Huan Xinghe must have another trick up his sleeve.

”Huan Xinghe, if you have any other moves, use them now,” Ye Qingchen said coldly, though he didn’t rush to attack. ”If I strike again, I won’t show any mercy.” After all, the situation was in his favor; there was no need for him to take risks.

Huan Xinghe responded with a cold chuckle. ”That fatso by your side was asking how we got in, wasn’t he? I’ll tell you right now how we did it!”

After speaking, the Galaxy Martial Soul instantly appeared behind him. But this time, instead of absorbing the surrounding Energy, it began to radiate beams of power like brilliant moonlight, spreading them outward.

BOOM! BOOM!

As Huan Xinghe’s power spread, a series of earth-shaking rumbles began to sound, growing closer and closer.

A grave expression appeared on Ye Qingchen’s face.
