Chapter 704
Edified, Fifth Grade Combat Emperor
*Howl* *Howl*
There were continuous howls coming from the dark souls but the golden shield had triggered a trace of fear from them. However, their ferocious attacks still continued despite their fear.
*Dong* *Dong* *Dong*
Countless dark souls were smashing against the golden barrier, producing sounds similar to a blacksmith forging a sword from steel. Large pieces of sparks were created from the impacts but none could penetrate through it. On the other hand, the human cultivators passed through the shield without suffering a single repelling force.
“Look, quick! That is the defensive shield made by a high-ranked monk of Buddha Sect, it can stop the dark souls from entering. Quickly, lets run into it!”
“Yeah, never thought that that shameless monk is actually a high-ranked monk, the people of Buddha Sect is truly righteous. They bear the responsibility of saving all sentient living things under the heavens and have rescued us all at the last minute. He is way more powerful than the Skyhill School’s disciples.”
“Don’t talk so much, we have to hurry past the barrier. Into the shield!”
Someone shouted. A very powerful dark soul had appeared outside the shield, even a Ninth Grade Combat Emperor had appeared. These dark souls were brutal and ferocious. Once the light shield is broken, all of them would surely die.
“Listen to me everyone. All of us have to combine our powers. Let’s unleash our Yuan Force and instill it into the monument together. Now, this monument is the only one that could prolong the light shield but this also required a lot of Yuan Force. This is the last day and also the day for the second opening of the Death Mountain. As long as we can last until it opens, we can leave this dire situation safely.”
Tyrant’s body was glowing with a golden light. At this moment, he was like a Buddha who could edify all living beings, saving mankind.
“Okay, we all combine our powers.”
This time, there was basically nothing to be argued about anymore. They had to give it their all to save their lives. United, they could fortify the defensive shield. This was the only way to ensure their survival for the following hours.
At this moment, all grudges were casted aside. All of them exerted their Yuan Force, making it look like a pillar of Yuan Force that was racing towards the giant monument that floated in the sky.
*Hua La*
After receiving the enormous Yuan Force, the monument began to tremble once more. It was a very great treasure. Although the monument had already acknowledged Tyrant, he still couldn’t ignite the maximum strength inside the monument. However, with the help of the Yuan Force from so many cultivators, the situation changed instantly.
The golden defensive shield became brighter and the cracks had been repaired.
*Weng Weng*
A seven colored light circled inside the giant defensive shield. The giant blood-red monument had completely turned into a yellowish golden color. The robe and Buddha beads that was hung on it was a supreme holy item of Buddha Sect that deterred all devils.
Tyrant, Big Yellow, Han Yan, Nangong Wentian, and Zuo Ling Er were focusing their attention on deterring the dark souls. Today, this entire spatial zone was surrounded by an army of dark souls. Death and dark Qi drifted everywhere, creating a very terrifying scene.
Yet, some of them were still worrying about someone else while confronting these dark souls. It was Jiang Chen. It had been so long and they had reached the final moments of this expedition, but Jiang Chen’s shadow was still nowhere to be seen. It’s as if he had vanished along with that light beam. How could this not worry them?
……..
Meanwhile―in the death spatial zone―Jiang Chen’s battle with the dark soul had finally reached an end. The current Jiang Chen was bursting with powerful Qi. Although the dark soul opposite to him was still howling hoarsely, the sound wasn’t as resounding as before. It had reached its limit, it was using its final strength to defend itself.
*Hong*
All of a sudden, a powerful energy erupted from Jiang Chen’s body. The dragon marks inside his body had already reached forty seven thousand nine hundred, a hundred more was all he needed to become a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor. Once he had edified this dark soul, he would immediately push his grade to the Fifth Grade Combat Emperor.
“Aah!”
Suddenly, Jiang Chen stood up and bellowed. His eyes had become golden, his black hair was fluttering in the air like a descendant of a peerless war god.
*Howl*
The dark soul couldn’t withstand it anymore. It let out its final wail and completely gave in. At this moment, The Edifying Light infiltrated its last line of defense and destroyed all of its evil willpower. With a swoosh, the light flew out of the dark soul’s body and landed on Jiang Chen’s.
*Hong*
As the dark soul was edified, Jiang Chen instantly became a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor. A domineering Qi was unleashed. This powerful feeling gave Jiang Chen the urge to roar at the sky for hours.
His Qi was retracted. He strode to the dark soul and yelled at the forty-meter tall dark soul. “Kneel down!”
From the ghostly fire of its eyes, it seemed like it was stunned for a moment. Then, with a puff, it prostrated before Jiang Chen while its body was trembling. A powerful Minor Saint dark soul was completely edified and became Jiang Chen’s servant. A command from Jiang Chen could send it to death without even a speck of disobedience.
“Hahahahaha”
Seeing this result, Jiang Chen laughed loudly while facing the sky. The big dude should be the biggest reward that he had obtained in the Death Mountain besides the Pure Soil. With his Fifth Grade Combat Emperor power, and a First Grade Minor Saint dark soul beside him as a trump card, he could deal with many kinds of problems.
