626: Chapter 626 Blood Feather Divine Mark, Breaking the Life-or-Death Stalemate

Hun Tiandi, Corpse Soul, and Liu Ling followed Yao Yiming.

Princess Zi Xun trailed far behind.

The four flew through the air towards the Cangtian Mountains. Along the way, Yao Yiming was very enthusiastic, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the origins of Hun Tiandi, Corpse Soul, and Liu Ling.

The three only mentioned their names and did not say much more.

Yao Yiming tactfully shut his mouth. After flying for two and a half days, Hun Tiandi's group came to a halt, a sharp light flashing in their eyes.

"Hahaha, ahead are the Cangtian Mountains, which belong to the territory of the Cangtian Holy Land..." Yao Yiming said with a smile.

Hun Tiandi looked around strangely; the area was filled with an invisible, eerie power. He closed his eyes, and the Soul Sword circulated as he sensed the surroundings.

Yao Yiming moved and flew towards a mountain peak, where there were a few scattered halls and several figures could be seen faintly.

"Senior Brother, we have guests!" Yao Yiming said excitedly, and three people subsequently walked out.

"These three are my saviors. We encountered the Blood Feather Mercenaries, and they killed all of them. Tomorrow, I will take my three benefactors to the Cangtian Holy Land!"

The people who came out nodded immediately and took a deep look at Hun Tiandi's group of three.

"Benefactors, please!" They were then arranged in a side hall, and Yao Yiming left.

"Mr. Corpse Soul, this is knockout incense, isn't it?" Hun Tiandi raised an eyebrow and watched coldly.

"Yes!" Corpse Soul nodded.

Liu Ling flipped his hand and took out a deep green flower, placing it on the table; it emitted a rich fragrance.

"Your Majesty, this is the Hundred Poison Flower, which can counteract knockout incense!" As an Alchemist, he naturally understood the principle of medicinal properties counteracting each other.

The three looked at each other, and Liu Ling took a deep breath: "There's something wrong with this Yao Yiming!"

"Yao Yiming is a Dou Zong? His three senior brothers are around four-star Dou Zong, plus a mysterious teacher. How could such a small sect be invited by the Sacred Land?"

"Furthermore, when the three senior brothers heard that Yao Yiming encountered the Blood Feather Mercenaries, their expressions were calm, as if they weren't worried at all. Combined with the knockout incense before us, this person harbors ill intentions!"

Hun Tiandi said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid they have their eyes on the two treasures on you!" Corpse Soul said indifferently.

He took out the green storage ring and the small black bag from his robes, placed them on the table, and looked at Corpse Soul.

"Do you recognize these two items?" Hun Tiandi stared at Corpse Soul.

"Yes. The green storage ring is called Soul Gathering; it is crafted from Soul Gathering Stones and can collect soul power, preserving it for a thousand days!"

Corpse Soul spoke.

"A thousand days?"

"Yes. Soul power is divided into four levels: Mortal, Spirit, Heaven, and Emperor. Each level is divided into Initial, Middle, Late, and Perfection stages."

"Only when soul power reaches the Heaven Realm can it transform from void to reality. Below the Heaven Realm, souls are illusory. The Yang energy in the world of the living is dense and extremely harmful to souls!"

"And the Soul Gathering Stone can avoid Yang energy, allowing soul bodies below the Heaven Realm to persist for a bit longer!"

Corpse Soul explained.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi's pupils constricted. Collecting so many soul bodies was either to break through soul power realms or to refine malicious weapons, such as the Hundred Ghost Map...

Back then, the Hall of Souls captured soul bodies across the continent, collecting thousands of them to extract Soul Origin power to enhance the soul realm of the Void Swallowing Flame.

The reason the Hun Clan was powerful was that they possessed countless soul secret methods passed down from ancient times that could enhance their own strength.

"As for this small black bag, it is used for storing magical beasts. Some experts can tame magical beasts as combat partners. It is very rare!"

Corpse Soul spoke again.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi put away the green storage ring and the small black bag, saying indifferently: "Yao Yiming is likely tempted by these two items; otherwise, he wouldn't have led us here!"

"We need to leave to prevent any accidents!"

"This mountain peak is protected by a formation that can isolate soul power sensing!" Corpse Soul sneered.

"Hun Tiandi, Mr. Corpse Soul..." Yao Yiming's voice came from outside the hall.

"Jie jie jie, he's lost his patience so quickly. Let him in!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

The moment Yao Yiming pushed the door open and entered, Hun Tiandi gripped his long blade and slashed out fiercely. His figure was like lightning, targeting Yao Yiming.

As soon as the three came out, they discovered that the three people from before had grabbed their weapons. The original peacefulness on their faces had vanished, replaced by a fierce expression.

Roar...

Yao Yiming let out a roar, his whole body emitting a bloody light as he stared fiercely at the three. A blood-red divine mark appeared on his forehead, glowing red.

The character for 'Feather'.

And the three behind him also glowed with red light, an eerie blood-red divine mark appearing.

"How can you be fine?" Yao Yiming said with a sinister look.

"Are you in league with the Blood Feather Mercenaries?" Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

He had sensed earlier that the Blood Feather Mercenaries were somewhat strange. He hadn't expected them to be a group involved in organized slaughter.

"Hand over the Beast Storage Bag and the Soul Gathering storage ring," Yao Yiming said coldly.

"Jie jie jie, Yao Yiming, with your Dou Zong level strength... on the battlefield, my long blade killed so many Blood Feather Mercenaries. Do you also want to become one of them?" Hun Tiandi said chillingly.

"Those fools couldn't activate the divine mark and could only have their sanity obliterated. Those who activate the divine mark will have their strength soar by an entire realm. I am now a Dou Zun."

"Everyone here can activate the divine mark. The Soul Gathering storage ring and the Beast Storage Bag must not be lost!"

Yao Yiming sneered.

Blood Feather Divine Mark? Hun Tiandi stared at the rune on the other's forehead.

"Since you've set a trap, there's no need for me to show mercy!"

"Kill!"

Hun Tiandi gave the order, and Liu Ling behind him was the first to pounce out like a tiger or wolf. With a movement of his hands, the golden Sun True Fire poured out, charging towards the crowd.

Humph!

Yao Yiming made his move against Hun Tiandi. He had seen him strike ruthlessly and dominantly before, but his realm was only at the eight-star Dou Zong level.

Strength is a chasm that can never be crossed.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, Sixth Layer!

Heavenly Law, Thousand-Fold Slash!

Yao Yiming's great blade collided with Hun Tiandi's long blade. With a booming metallic sound, the extremely dominant slash directly snapped his great blade into two pieces, which fell to the ground.

The blade energy was matchless, crashing heavily against the formation's energy defense barrier.

Rumble!

Ripples appeared on the barrier, and it became extremely distorted.

"You still have strength left?" Yao Yiming said in shock.

A flash of ferocity appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes as he stared at Yao Yiming, the Dou Qi in his body going wild.

"Kill them!" Yao Yiming ordered, and a hundred people emerged from the hall, every single one of them with a blood-glowing divine mark on their forehead.

Screech!

Suddenly, a piercing phoenix cry rang out as a golden Three-Legged Golden Crow appeared in mid-air, spreading its wings and flying high. Liu Ling held nothing back, urging the Sun True Fire to take form, emitting an aura of ultimate Yang and rigidity.

As it landed on the sinister bodies of the Blood Feather Mercenaries, it was like pouring oil on a fire, and screams echoed one after another.

Under the Sun True Fire, they were reduced to ashes.

Boom...

Within the formation, continuous rumbling sounded like an earthquake. Hun Tiandi displayed his full ferocity; at full power, how could these people who used secret methods compare?

The strength Hun Tiandi erupted with far exceeded the strength he used when massacring the Blood Feather Mercenaries before.

Unless it was a peak Dou Zun expert, no one could do anything to him.

Of course, geniuses and monsters were exceptions, such as Dao Sword, Xuan Chen...

But if their strength was the same as Hun Tiandi's, it was still unknown who would win or lose.

"Jie jie jie, let's see if your broken formation can stop me!" Hun Tiandi said with a wicked smile.

"Slash!"

He erupted suddenly, no longer holding back. A blade energy as large as a hundred zhang emerged. The brilliant blade light slashed out and collided with the barrier.

Unable to withstand the peerless slash, the barrier shattered with a bang, and even the mountain peak was split in two.
