Chapter 1270 - The Real Battle!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The battle had finally reached its climax!

At least for all the humans in the alliance army, this was the most crucial part of the battle. The victor of the battle between Jiang Yi and Xing Mo would determine all of their fates; it would determine the fates of all the billions of people on the Stellarsky Domain.

Many people had even stopped fighting and turned their gaze towards the skies. The zombie soldiers and zombie beasts were endless, and it was futile to try and kill them all. If Jiang Yi did not win, what was the point in killing these zombies anyway?

Feeling so many eyes on him, Jiang Yi felt the pressure on him multiply. He swiftly flew towards Xing Mo. Although he was not confident at all, he could only fight to the death.

Hundred thousand feet, fifty thousand feet… ten thousand feet!

Xing Mo had not moved an inch. Jiang Yi could not resist as he suddenly increased his speed and, with the Thousand Thearch Shield in front of him, flew towards Xing Mo at his fastest speed. At the same time, he started to charge up to use his Divinity Slayer.

Xing Mo should not have divine artifact armor. If not, his body would not have been destroyed by the Saint Emperor in the Death God’s Dense Sea. Hence, as long as Jiang Yi could find a way to destroy Xing Mo’s physical body, he could once again deal a heavy blow to Xing Mo. After all, without a body—no matter how strong one’s soul spirit was, that would amount to nothing. When that happened, Jiang Yi could then think of a way to destroy Xing Mo’s soul spirit.

Jiang Yi thought that his strategy was well-thought-out!

He had also managed to charge his Divinity Slayer. However, he had to find a way to lock on to his target, right? As he controlled the Thousand Thearch Shield and was prepared to lock on to Xing Mo, Xing Mo’s eyes lit up and two streaks of black light shot forth. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt two extremely terrifying soul spirit energies entering his body and surging towards his soul-spirit consciousness.

Soul spirit attack!

Jiang Yi’s body and soul spirit shuddered. Xing Mo’s soul spirit had reached the level of a True God; his soul spirit attack was also the most fearsome in the entire Stellarsky Domain. The fact that the Sword Thearch had been so easily beheaded was proof of the power behind Xing Mo’s soul spirit attack.

What should I do?

In that split-second, Jiang Yi swiftly decided. He completely ignored the soul spirit energy that was coming towards him as he struck his Fire Dragon Sword forward and three fire dragons appeared and aimed straight for Xing Mo’s physical body.

Jiang Yi decided to wage a bet that he could destroy Xing Mo’s body before Xing Mo shattered his soul spirit!

Boom! Boom!

A huge explosive sound could be heard as Xing Mo’s body burst into bits and pieces under everyone’s gaze. The divine artifact saber in his hand also flew out and stabbed into the deck of the Heaven Fate Ship in the near distance!

“This…”

At this moment, the entire place was dead still; it was as if everyone could not hear the wailing coming from the zombies. Everyone looked at Xing Mo’s torn and tattered body as their eyes revealed their disbelief. Some even rubbed their eyes!

The Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch, the mastermind behind this calamity, the Stellarsky Domain’s uncrowned king Xing Mo that possessed unrivaled powers had been hacked to death by Jiang Yi so easily?

This was too simple and unbelievable, right?

However, Xing Mo’s body had indeed been blown apart. That blood mist in the sky, that torn and tattered body, that divine artifact saber stuck on the Heaven Fate Ship’s deck; all evidence pointed to Xing Mo’s demise. Many people’s faces revealed their delight as some started to cheer as if victory was theirs.

“It’s all over…”

The Buddha Thearch and company, however, were all filled with dread and hopelessness instead. Their gaze did not look at Xing Mo’s exploded body but at Jiang Yi instead. They had utterly lost hope also because of Jiang Yi!

Jiang Yi’s entire body had become black as he emanated a black aura. His eyes were listless and flashed with black light occasionally. Many people’s divine senses swept towards Jiang Yi, but they could not lock onto his soul spirit’s aura!

Xing Mo had no intention to continue using Wu Ni’s body at all; he had purposely allowed Jiang Yi to destroy it. Xing Mo had used his body as bait; he wanted Jiang Yi to ignore his soul spirit attack.

His true intention was… to possess Jiang Yi’s body and take over it!

Jiang Yi’s body was very complete. It had been modified by the Destitute Dragon Grass, had absorbed the blood essence from ten saint beasts, and had been refined by the Sky Thunder true essence. Jiang Yi’s body was only slightly weaker than that of the Saint Emperor’s. Furthermore, Jiang Yi was younger than Wu Ni. This was perhaps the most perfect body in the Stellarsky Domain; how could Xing Mo not covet it?

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s body shone with black light as a black aura continued to spread from him. His eyes were listless, and he had utterly lost his soul spirit aura. This meant that Jiang Yi’s soul spirit had not been a match for Xing Mo’s soul spirit; that meant that Jiang Yi’s body was about to become Xing Mo’s body.

However, many people thought about it for a while and realized that Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was actually not that strong all along. He had only congealed his god spirit recently; how could he have blocked Xing Mo’s soul spirit attack? Perhaps even the Buddha Thearch would not be able to, right?

“Haha, we were too naive…”

The Xuan Thearch started to mock himself. They had hoped that Jiang Yi could kill Xing Mo, that a miracle could happen. Now, they realized that the fables of good triumphing over evil were all made-up stories; the harsh reality in front of them today had smashed all illusions they had!

“Hurry up and destroy Jiang Yi’s body!”

The Buddha Thearch’s eyes revealed his agony as he said. If Xing Mo had the opportunity to gain full control over Jiang Yi, the battle would be over. If they destroyed Jiang Yi’s body and then tried to purge Xing Mo’s soul spirit, there might still be a chance at victory. Hence, although the Buddha Thearch knew that once Jiang Yi’s body was destroyed, Jiang Yi would die along with it while Yi Chan would hate him for eternity; he still calmed down and yelled this statement.

“Who dares?”

Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes revealed her killing intent as she sent one zombie flying and said, “Who dares to destroy my Young Master’s body will be killed by me!’

Boom!

The Saint Emperor punched one zombie flying with a fist as he looked at the Buddha Thearch coldly, “That is my Young Lord; old monk, you dare to try and touch him?”

“Pfff…”

The Buddha Thearch spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was sent flying by a zombie. Facing two idiots who could not be reasoned with, he was utterly lost for words. He also decided not to be the bad person anymore; if they had to die, they could all perish together.

“Sigh!”

Although the Xuan Thearch knew that the Buddha Thearch’s decision was the right one, now that everyone was heavily wounded and hard-pressed dealing with the zombies, who still had the spare energy to destroy Jiang Yi’s body? Jiang Yi also wore the Mystic Divine Armor; who could destroy that?

Bang!

His slight distraction resulted in a zombie heavily smashing him from the back. Three bones on his back had already fractured; now, two of them had completely broken apart. His body heavily flew away into the distance. However, his face did not reveal any pain at all. His eyes were in a daze as he looked at the darkened sky, bitterly smiled, and said, “Lady Piaopiao, I am useless. I could not save you and now cannot even protect the Young Lord. Rest assured… I will not let the Young Lord go to the Netherworld Realm alone.”

“Ah, Ah—”

A few shouts suddenly caught the Xuan Thearch’s attention. His gaze swiftly turned towards the high heavens as a sliver of hope appeared on his face.

Jiang Yi was savagely crying out, his muscles convulsing as his eyes grew bright and dark periodically. He seemed as if he was engaged in a ferocious struggle. His soul spirit and Xing Mo’s soul spirit were battling for control over his body.

Buzz!

A streak of golden light appeared at his chest. Jiang Yi had finally used the heavenly powers that the Xuan Thearch had given him. The Xuan Thearch’s eyes grew bright. Using the heavenly powers, Jiang Yi probably still had a shot at winning and suppressing Xing Mo’s soul spirit instead. The heavenly powers were a True God’s immortal essence after all!

“Young Lord, you have to win!”

The Xuan Thearch used all his energy as he roared. The real battle had begun. Jiang Yi and Xing Mo were currently inside the former’s soul-spirit consciousness, engaging in a battle that would decide the fate of the entire Stellarsky Domain.
