Chapter 47: The Three Take Action
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui calmly watched the eighteen Tian Hun Mo warriors of the Golden Slash Alliance. Among the three, Wu Yuan’s aura was the most prominent; Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui’s auras were as faint as the spiritual energy in the starry sky. If it weren’t for Qu Yi having previously shown off his strength in front of everyone, those eighteen Tian Hun Mo warriors would never have guessed his true cultivation level.
“Everyone, stay calm! There are only three of them here—Qu Yi and two others—while we have eighteen of us, plus the alliance leader. Are we really afraid of this Qu Yi?” one of the Tian Hun Mo warriors of the Golden Slash Alliance shouted bravely.
The other seventeen Tian Hun Mo warriors relaxed slightly, their confidence restored as they glared at Qu Yi and his companions.
Of course, those eighteen Tian Hun Mo warriors completely ignored the hundred cultivators on the nearby starship. To them, cultivators at the level of Tian Po Xian or Di Hun Xian were nothing but pests that could be destroyed with a mere gesture—there was no reason to pay them any attention.
Hearing the words of that Tian Hun Mo warrior, Qu Yi glanced at Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui and smiled. “Wu Yuan, Qing Wu Gui, these people are really arrogant. They think that just because they possess Tian Hun Mo cultivation, they can act recklessly and disregard everyone else. Well, today, the three of us will give these eighteen proud fools a proper lesson, making them regret it for life.”
“Ugh, okay.”
“Sure.”
Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui replied succinctly.
Without delay, Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui all used space jumps to appear in front of the three Tian Hun Mo warriors.
Qu Yi could wield Chaos Energy—a special energy that surpassed the Five Elements Energy. It allowed him to ignore the laws of the Five Elements, enabling him to traverse spatial dimensions and use space jumps.
Wu Yuan’s soul contained five soul orbs, giving him an innate connection to the Five Elements Energy. Having reached the cultivation level of a lower-tier Tian Hun Yao, his internal world was perfectly aligned with the surrounding natural space, allowing him to freely move through it and use space jumps as well.
Qing Wu Gui possessed the Heart of the Five Elements, meaning he could command the surrounding Five Elements Energy to create a path for him, allowing him to jump from one space to another.
“What!”
“That’s impossible!”
“This is utterly unjust!”
The eighteen Tian Hun Mo warriors of the Golden Slash Alliance screamed in horror upon seeing the strength of Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui.
Space jumps – these powerful Soul Demon warriors had only seen them in those Soul Body humans, who were those who had mastered complete laws in a certain field. Yet Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui actually possessed the abilities of Soul Body humans, which left the eighteen Soul Demon warriors utterly incredulous.
The eighteen Soul Demon warriors had witnessed firsthand the strength of Soul Body humans – beings so powerful that even the cultivators of the Nine Alliances found it hard to resist them. Naturally, when Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui displayed the abilities unique to Soul Body humans, it instantly shattered the psychological defenses of the eighteen Soul Demon warriors, greatly weakening their fighting spirit.
Especially the three Soul Demon warriors who were under attack, upon seeing Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui arrive, instinctively activated the demonic energy within them and retreated rapidly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as Qu Yi arrived, he held the divine artifact, the Glowing Seal, and with the help of chaotic energy, the seal swiftly moved through the starry sky and struck the head of one of the retreating Soul Demon warriors.
If it weren’t for Qu Yi’s reluctance to take his life outright, that Soul Demon warrior would have been utterly destroyed.
Now, under the impact of the Glowing Seal, that Soul Demon warrior fainted instantly, floating like a speck of dust in the starry sky.
Wu Yuan went up to another Soul Demon warrior, took out a Sand Whip, and swung it. A storm of yellow sand erupted, with each grain acting like a Earth Spirit entity, covering everything in its path.
That Soul Demon warrior hadn’t retreated far when he was instantly enveloped by the sand and soon lost his breath. Apparently, those countless Earth Spirit entities crashed violently against him, quickly knocking him unconscious.
Sure enough, Wu Yuan swung his Sand Whip again, dispersing the sand, revealing the body of the Soul Demon warrior lying sprawled in the starry sky.
Qing Wu Gui approached another Soul Demon warrior and took out the divine artifact, the Earth-Piercing Spear. With a thrust, a massive yellow earth spear appeared – actually a huge Earth Spirit entity – which, under Qing Wu Gui’s control, flew straight at the Soul Demon warrior.
Before that Soul Demon warrior could fly far, the earth spear rushed toward him at incredible speed. He had no choice but to activate the demonic energy in his body to form a shield to defend against the attack.
But sadly, he realized that the spiritual barrier on his body was affected by the earth spear; it seemed no longer under his control and quickly split apart, while the earth spear had already pierced his chest.
Qing Wu Gui possessed a Heart of the Five Elements, which could affect the spiritual bodies of powerful Tian Hun Mo warriors, allowing him to easily break through their defenses. This unique ability proved highly effective—as the powerful Tian Hun Mo warrior could only watch in disbelief as the spear pierced his body. However, after being struck, he did not die immediately; Qing Wu Gui merely damaged his body, and with another strike of the spear, he knocked the Tian Hun Mo warrior unconscious.
The divine artifacts obtained by Qu Yi required five artifacts to cultivate the “Divine Weapon Artistry Method.” These five artifacts were the Sealing Spirit Golden Ball, Green Rainbow Dust Brush, Sea-Turning Bowl, Falling Fire Blade, and Earth-Moving Ruler. The five artifacts used by the other five figures were the Golden Patterned Sword, Sharp Wire Wood, Flowing Cloud Sound Chain, Fire-Dispelling Banner, and Desert Scroll. The remaining three artifacts—Shining Light Seal, Sand-Wrapping Whip, and Earth-Piercing Spear—were used by Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui. With their first strike, they knocked three Tian Hun Mo warriors unconscious, stunning the other fifteen members of the Golden Slash Alliance. These fifteen lost all confidence in fighting and immediately tried to flee.
How could Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui let those fifteen Tian Hun Mo warriors escape so easily? After knocking out three of them with a single strike, they instantly used space jumps to intercept three more. “No! This isn’t how battles should be fought!” “Why did you choose me…?” “Stop bullying us like this! Can’t you go after someone else?” The three trapped Tian Hun Mo warriors hovered in mid-air, shouting in anger, filled with resentment and complaints. None of them believed their luck could be this bad.
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui remained calm, ignoring the complaints of the three Tian Hun Mo warriors. They simply swung their divine artifacts. The Shining Light Seal expanded instantly, emitting intense light that formed a space of the Metal Element, slowing down the warriors’ flight. Then, the seal itself descended and smashed down, knocking another warrior unconscious. The Sand-Wrapping Whip made a whooshing sound, creating a whirlwind of yellow sand that enveloped the Tian Hun Mo warrior. The swirling sand forced him to spin continuously, while countless Earth Element spiritual bodies attacked him relentlessly. Unable to endure such torment, he quickly lost consciousness.
The Earth-Piercing Spear shook violently, and soon a yellow earth spear appeared, shooting through the air and aiming straight at the powerful Sky Soul Demon. The Sky Soul Demon could only deploy its protective spiritual body shield to defend itself, but it was horrified to find that its shield was cracking on its own, out of its control. The Earth-Piercing Spear pierced into the Sky Soul Demon’s body, causing chaos and destroying its physique, before slamming down and knocking it unconscious.
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui acted together once again, each knocking out another Sky Soul Demon.
As for the other twelve Sky Soul Demons, they had no intention of fighting at all. Seeing Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui holding off three of their kind, they immediately fled at full speed, determined to escape as quickly as possible. The twelve Sky Soul Demons had already flown far into the starry sky, out of sight.
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui exchanged glances and smiled helplessly. Although they all possessed the ability to teleport, their cultivation levels were only at the lower Sky Soul Immortal stage, leaving them unable to use teleportation too many times.
However, at that moment, Qu Yi received a message from the Artifact God. “Qu Yi, on that black planet is Si Ren, the leader of the Golden Slash Alliance,” the Artifact God said casually.
Hearing this, Qu Yi, who had previously looked helpless, immediately smiled excitedly. “Wu Yuan, Qing Wu Gui, there’s another big catch. Let’s fly to that black planet right away and capture Si Ren alive,” Qu Yi said through telepathy, giving his two brothers a firm look.
Sure enough, Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui, who had been somewhat displeased earlier, immediately perked up and nodded at Qu Yi.
In an instant, Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui rushed like three bolts of lightning to the black planet ahead.
Si Ren, who was hiding in a stone cave on the planet, had remained concealed while Qu Yi and his companions dealt with the Sky Soul Demons, hoping they wouldn’t discover his hiding place. But once Qu Yi and his companions arrived on the black planet, Si Ren realized that his hiding spot had been exposed.
Without hesitation, Si Ren flew out of the cave and into the air.
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui were already waiting in the air. As soon as they saw Si Ren appear, they launched their attacks—using the Glowing Seal, the Sand Whip, and the Earth-Piercing Spear to create three spiritual space barriers, blocking Si Ren’s escape route.
Si Ren was immediately surrounded by Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui, forcing him to bring out his ultimate treasure weapon—the Jin Xin Sword. The Jin Xin Sword swung rapidly, releasing waves of golden light that took the form of golden spirit entities, which rushed forward to confront the spirit entities emitted by the three divine artifacts.
“Qu Yi, stop pressing me!” Si Ren shouted angrily as he tried desperately to resist.
Speaking such words as the leader of the Demon Realm Alliance showed that Si Ren had been pushed to the brink by Qu Yi.
Qu Yi laughed heartily and shouted, “Si Ren, do you know who the parents of this handsome young man beside me are? You might not expect it, but the Dragon Turtle and the Phoenix Feathered Winged Horse that you killed back then were precisely this young man’s parents. He is Wu Yuan, my brother. Since you killed his parents, it’s as if you killed my parents. You nine bastards, do you still want to live?”
At last, Qu Yi revealed the reason why he was determined to kill those nine alliance leaders. Previously, those nine leaders had thought Qu Yi’s pursuit was due to Emperor Hao.
Hearing this, Si Ren’s mind snapped into focus, and he understood what had happened. Naturally, he could only sigh that this was indeed karma in action—those nine people had killed the Dragon Turtle and the Phoenix Feathered Winged Horse together, and now their son had come to avenge them.
“Hmph, since you won’t let me go, I won’t let you slaughter me either,” Si Ren replied coldly.
Immediately afterward, Si Ren swung the Jin Xin Sword even more frantically. The entire space was filled with the glow of the sword, as golden spirit entities shot out at light speed, targeting Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui.
Seeing Si Ren fighting so desperately, Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui laughed. Si Ren had lost his composure; what strength could he possibly have left?
Qu Yi quickly swung his Glorious Light Seal, creating a space filled with golden spirit entities to counter Si Ren’s desperate attacks. Wu Yuan waved his Sand Whip, sending waves of yellow sand through the starry sky to block Si Ren’s attacks as well. Qing Wu Gui was the most relaxed. When he swung his Earth-Piercing Spear, the golden spirit entities sent by Si Ren gently stopped, then gathered together before suddenly turning around to attack Si Ren.
Seeing his attacks easily blocked by three beings at the lower Heavenly Soul Immortal level, especially Qing Wu Gui’s ability to control spirit entities, Si Ren became disheartened. He realized not only could he not harm those three, but he might also run out of his magical energy.
“I’m leaving!” Si Ren shouted angrily, trying to fly away.
“You can’t get away,” Qu Yi replied instantly.
Just as Si Ren was about to fly away, Qu Yi suddenly made another space jump and appeared right in front of him, swiftly swinging the Glowing Light Seal at him.
Qu Yi was filled with chaotic energy that seemed inexhaustible. Over the years, he had accumulated many chaotic crystals, and his body could also absorb the energies of the five elements to transform them into chaotic energy.
Startled, Si Ren had no choice but to wave his Golden Xin Sword again, fighting desperately to strike back.
Yet, Si Ren’s attacks were easily blocked by the Glowing Light Seal. At that moment, Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui also arrived behind Si Ren, immediately wielding their Sand Twisting Whip and Earth Piercing Spear.
Attacked from both fronts, Si Ren quickly noticed his defense shield splitting apart. Soon, yellow sand swirled around him, and the earth spear pierced in—his body was already injured.
Si Ren, the leader of the Golden Slash Alliance, was now surrounded by Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui, and finally sustained damage.
Once injured, Si Ren no longer had the strength to resist.
“Si Ren, you can’t escape. Just surrender peacefully,” Qu Yi shouted happily.
