Chapter 674 Divine Soul Enhancement, Peak of Void Control

The blade light was initially just a thin line, but it seemed to cleave the boundaries of space and spirit, ignoring distance and the layered, twisted, and devouring network of the Mother Nest. In an instant, it appeared before the core of the enormous Soul-Devouring Mother Nest!
Where the blade flashed, on the hundred-foot-tall gelatinous core, a ghostly blue light suddenly condensed into a blurry, ferocious, and terrifying phantom that was neither human nor dragon—

That is the Soul-Devouring Jellyfish Queen, who hides in the heart of the nest, devours souls for her own use, and controls the entire nest network!

It exudes a terrifying soul fluctuation that surpasses that of ordinary cultivators in the Free and Unfettered Realm, clearly indicating that it is a strange existence at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm!

At this moment, it sensed a deadly crisis and let out a silent, sharp soul howl, attempting to draw upon the power of the entire mother nest to form a dark blue spiritual barrier that solidified space and blocked this earth-shattering strike.

However, how could an ordinary object withstand the power of the Overlord Blade?
The shadows of dragon and elephant converge, and the power of the Nine Abyss strikes down.

The sixth level of martial arts, the sword technique at the level of harmony between heaven and man, has completely surpassed the power limit of Yongtian Continent!
"puff!"

Like a hot knife cutting into solidified fat, the dark gold blade energy sliced ​​through the solidified, dark blue light barrier without any hindrance, sliced ​​through the forehead of the hideous phantom, and pierced through the entire hundred-zhang core!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The next moment——

"boom!!!"

A burst of light, a blend of dark gold and deep blue, erupted violently!

The massive and bizarre core of the Soul-Devouring Mother Nest was like an iceberg thrown into boiling water, emitting a silent "wailing" that shook the souls of all the powerful beings, before suddenly collapsing, shattering, and evaporating inward!
The violent mental turbulence swept out like a destructive storm, instantly tearing thousands of Soul-Eating Jellyfish that made up the nearby nest into pieces, which then scattered into a sky full of eerie blue phosphorescence!
A knife!

Just one knife!

Holding the Dragon Sparrow, Zhang Yuan stood as steady as a pillar that could calm the sea, not even the hem of his clothes fluttering.

The Grandmaster-level demon that stirred up the storm and rendered secret medicines and spirit arrays helpless, along with its enormous mother nest on which it depended for survival, was reduced to ashes under the domineering sword intent!
Even more alarming changes followed.

With the complete annihilation of the Soul-Devouring Jellyfish King, the vast essence of divine souls that it had devoured and refined over the years was freed from its constraints.

It is no longer demonic power forcibly condensed by evil magic, but has transformed into the purest power of divine soul origin!
Centered on the Zhenhai Ship where Zhang Yuan was located, countless golden light spots surged from the center of the explosion like rivers flowing into the sea!

It was not a physical entity, but pure spiritual energy. Each point of light was crystal clear, like a miniature golden bead of divine soul!
They cheered and jumped for joy, like swallows returning to their nests, and rushed wildly into Zhang Yuan's body.

The Chaos Forge: Devouring and Giving Back!
"hiss--"

The invisible aura surrounding Zhang Yuan suddenly surged!

In the depths of his deep eyes, it seemed as if a golden vortex was rapidly spinning, expanding, and solidifying!
Originally, the soul power was stuck at the third level of the Grandmaster Realm, the Void Control Realm. Nourished by the vast soul essence accumulated by the Soul Devouring Jellyfish King over countless years, it surged forward like a flood bursting its banks!
Until the peak of the Void Realm!

Ask the Way!

Zhang Yuan's eyes shone brightly. In that instant, his spiritual power touched the barrier of the fourth realm of Grandmaster, the level of Asking the Dao!
That invisible barrier to the spiritual bottleneck leading to the realm of enlightenment was now clearly visible!

An even more unfathomable and powerful divine soul pressure, than before, rippled out from Zhang Yuan like invisible ripples.

Although it was perfectly concealed, it still caused a jolt to the hearts of top experts like Lu Tianshu and Pei Lie, whose senses were sharp, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at the figure at the bow of the ship.

With the death of the Jellyfish Queen and the destruction of the mother nest, the invisible divine soul guidance and amplification it had exerted on the Seven Star Reef demons suddenly disappeared!

"Whoosh-!"

Without top-level suppression and command, the water demon army, which had been frantically attacking the human front, was instantly thrown into chaos!
The Xuanjia turtles no longer charged forward fearlessly, the Bone-Eating Fish swarm became blind and chaotic, and the Crab Demons began to retreat restlessly.

A sense of chaos and fear, stemming from instinct, spread among the demons!
"The Soul-Devouring Nest has been breached! The Demon King has been slain!" "A golden opportunity! Full force, counterattack! Leave no one alive!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The eight hundred demon-binding blood guards of the Demon Suppression Division roared and formed an array, their blood ropes crisscrossing.

The Golden-Winged Riders and Thunder-Winged Tiger Riders of the Spirit Array Division guided the Starlight Spears into the retreating demon tide.

With a flick of her slender hand, the Poisonous Lady of the Secret Medicine Bureau weaves a web of poisonous bees to reap the remaining enemies.

The Nine Yang Sword Sect's 100,000 longswords finally broke free from the interference of the divine soul, and the dragons intertwined with sword light roared out of the sea once again, even more refined and ruthless!
With the morale of the 50,000 new soldiers soaring, under the command of Xue Dingyue, Jin Yuelin, Yuchi Changshan, Chen Wu and others, the battle formation was once again as solid as a mountain, shields advanced like mountain ranges, long spears thrust like a forest, and crossbows rained down like a storm!

Fear has turned into a battle cry, and cowardice has turned into fierceness.

The battle quickly devolved into a one-sided mopping-up operation.

Countless water demons were killed while fleeing.

Two hours later, the boiling sea gradually calmed down.

Small speedboats darted among the reefs and floating demon corpses, their excited roars echoing across the sea and sky.

"Third team reports! Seven Vajra Realm Xuanjia Turtle corpses and three Grandmaster Realm Demon Clams have been captured!"

"Report from the Spirit Array Thunder Winged Cavalry! One of the Nine-Headed Black Dragon's clones has been hunted down! All six of its reverse scales are intact!"

"Secret Medicine Department Report! Two hundred and sixty century-old demon cores and seven thousand-year-old coral spirit plants have been seized!"

"Report from the Third Battalion of the New Army! After clearing three miles of sea of ​​carcasses of the Bone-Eating Fish, they have obtained 30,000 jin of intact iron bones!"

"Nine Yang Sword Sect reports! They have seized 1,700 crab claws belonging to Grandmaster-level crab demons! The claw meat has been sent to the Ministry of Works for processing..."

On the Zhenhai Ship, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works quickly compiled and reported the quantities of precious scales, tough bones, flesh and blood containing special demonic power, inner cores, spirit pearls, and other materials dismantled from various sea monsters.

The mountain of loot lists demonstrates the enormous gains of this surprise attack, and is the best reward and material reward for the life-and-death trials of the 50,000 new soldiers!
Zhang Yuan's gaze swept across the bustling battlefield and the devastated yet now cleared Seven Star Reef Islands, where he saw thousands of Eastern Wei fishermen, ragged and terrified, protected by the army in the center of the islands.

He pointed and said, "Lu Tianshu."

"Your subordinate is here!" The head of the Demon Suppression Division stepped forward.

"Send a Zhenhai boat." Zhang Yuan's voice was calm.

"It is filled with one-fifth of the harvest from this place, mainly rare scales, large pieces of spiritual meat, and pearls that have not been contaminated by filth."

"You will lead a team of demon-suppressing envoys and a thousand newly trained soldiers to escort the ships, supplies, and these fishermen..."

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over the kneeling figures: "Send them together to the nearest Eastern Wei port and hand them over to the local Eastern Wei merchants who can handle them."

Lu Tianchu was slightly taken aback, then his eyes flickered as he understood the deeper meaning.

He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes! Your subordinate will ensure that the merchants of Eastern Wei witness firsthand the integrity of Great Qin and the generosity of our Great Qin fleet!"
