Chapter 1686 - 1675: Perilous Predicament! Another Unexpected Turn!

Chapter 1686: Chapter 1675: Perilous Predicament! Another Unexpected Turn!


The jade token that Gui Hufei crushed.


On this jade token were engraved three layered formations, inscribed by the ancestor of the Soul Devouring Sect, Wu Hundai.


Wu Hundai was the foremost formation master in the demonic sects. He used formations to store a portion of his power within the jade token. Of course, Wu Hundai was a powerhouse in the Nirvana Realm! The formations he inscribed could at most store power up to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Reincarnation Realm. If the power exceeded that, the formations and the jade token would definitely shatter.


This method of using formations to store power in a jade token is extremely difficult to achieve under normal circumstances. The larger the power stored, the more the entire process must be completed by a single individual, from inscribing the formation to infusing the power. In the entire Earth Profound Realm, there are almost no people with a formation attainment comparable to Wu Hundai.


Even so, Wu Hundai only successfully made two such jade tokens, giving them to Gui Hufei and another disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect, Gui Fantian.


Ye Chenfeng, guided by Old Bai and Old Hei, had unquestionable formation skills; however, this kind of power storage in a jade token must be completed by one person. His storing power in the jade token was useless because he couldn’t store the powers of Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an in the jade token.


The enormous sword shadow in mid-air descended lower and lower. Gui Hufei, who had lost his left arm, was bleeding continuously from his severed limb, and the smile on his face grew more sinister, possibly because his anger had reached an extreme point, causing the muscles on his face to twitch slightly.


As the gigantic sword shadow descended, the towering trees around were instantly shredded to pieces.


A massive pressure suddenly descended from mid-air.


The ground immediately fractured into pieces.


Ye Chenfeng, holding the Qingyun Sword, frowned; he had no time to think. The Tenth Tier Unyielding Sword Intent within him was unleashed once again, sending a rainbow-like sword Qi toward the massive sword shadow descending from the sky.


But this massive sword shadow was, after all, an attack equating to a powerhouse in the Third Heavenly Layer of the Reincarnation Realm. Ye Chenfeng’s strength was only at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm. He simply couldn’t unleash the true power of the Tenth Tier Unyielding Sword Intent.


The brown giant sword Qi only caused the sword shadow in mid-air to pause slightly. Afterwards, the descending speed of the massive sword shadow increased even more.


The huge sword shadow enveloped Ye Chenfeng from all sides, and the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians was continuously mobilized, forming a layer of spiritual energy protection around his body as he kept retreating.


Yet despite this, Ye Chenfeng still couldn’t escape the massive sword shadow’s shroud.


"Swoosh!"


The giant sword shadow struck Ye Chenfeng’s chest; the spiritual energy protection instantly collapsed, and blood spurted wildly.


Seeing that his body was about to be split in two, Ye Chenfeng struggled to tilt to the left, and the giant sword shadow completely tore apart his left side.


Yet Ye Chenfeng still evaded the fate of being split in half.


The massive sword shadow disappeared, and Ye Chenfeng’s body collapsed onto the ground.


The huge wound on Ye Chenfeng’s chest was exceedingly horrific, his left side was a bloody mess, and all the bones in his chest were fractured, exposing his beating heart.


Seeing this, Zuo Feibai’s face turned instantly pale, and his figure dashed toward Ye Chenfeng.


However, Gui Hufei, who had lost his left arm, flicked his toes on the ground, flashed over, and slapped Zuo Feibai away, making it impossible for Zuo Feibai to stand up from the ground, only to shout hoarsely from his throat, "Ancestor!"


Gui Hufei simply stopped the bleeding at his severed limb, looking at the barely alive Ye Chenfeng on the ground. The smile on his face grew more vicious, and he snarled with gritted teeth, "I will eat your heart, I will eat your spleen and lungs."


Lying on the ground, Ye Chenfeng felt an extreme dryness in his throat, and his consciousness began to fade away bit by bit. Instantly, he activated the Divine Blood Manual within himself; now he could only use the Immortal Golden Body from the Divine Blood Manual.


The Divine Blood expended from using the Immortal Golden Body in the past had fully recovered.


This Immortal Golden Body is a method to rapidly heal injuries by consuming Divine Blood within the body. As long as there’s a breath left, it can completely heal wounds through the Immortal Golden Body. Naturally, the consumed Divine Blood would also recover over a certain period of time.


If all the blood in the body transforms into Divine Blood, then thirty consecutive uses of the Immortal Golden Body are possible.


Currently, Ye Chenfeng can only use the Immortal Golden Body three times in succession.


Ye Chenfeng continuously circulated the Divine Blood Manual inside him, gathering the Divine Blood to all the wounds on his body, "Immortal Golden Body."


A layer of golden light instantly enveloped Ye Chenfeng, and his whole skin glowed with a faint golden light.


And at this moment, Gui Hufei slowly walked to Ye Chenfeng’s front; he originally thought Ye Chenfeng was on the brink of death and planned to slowly torture him to death.


At the sight of Ye Chenfeng being enveloped by a layer of golden light and his wounds healing at an astonishing rate, Gui Hufei widened his eyes in shock, having never heard of such a powerful method in the Earth Profound Realm!


While Gui Hufei was in a daze, a slightly recovered Ye Chenfeng, although still unable to channel his sword intent, could at least swing the Qingyun Sword in his hand. The spiritual energy within him concentrated on the Qingyun Sword.


As Gui Hufei remained shocked, the Qingyun Sword swept towards Gui Hufei’s two legs.


Gui Hufei, snapping back to reality, retreated hastily. Unfortunately, his right leg was a step too slow, and with a "slash!" his right leg was cleaved off by the Qingyun Sword.


With a "thud!"


Having lost another leg, Gui Hufei also collapsed directly onto the ground.


After Gui Hufei’s right leg was cut off, the golden glow on Ye Chenfeng’s body slowly faded, all his wounds healed without even leaving a scar.


Zuo Feibai, lying on the ground in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief; he recalled when the ancestor of the Yin Ling Sect also used such a miraculous injury recovery technique.


Ye Chenfeng, holding the Qingyun Sword, stood up from the ground. Looking at Gui Hufei, who had lost a left hand and a right leg, he said, "It seems you won’t be eating my heart or spleen."


Lying on the ground, Gui Hufei’s scar-covered face was furrowed, and the loss of his left arm and right leg brought excruciating pain that nearly drove him mad. He couldn’t accept becoming crippled, and a gleam of hesitation flashed in his eyes, followed by a flicker of determination as he shouted, "I, Gui Hufei, will not die at the hands of such a minor character as you."


Gui Hufei pulled out a palm-sized red scorpion from his bosom, which was the mother of the Soul-Devouring Scorpion, much larger than ordinary Soul-Devouring Scorpions. This mother scorpion was used for breeding ordinary Soul-Devouring Scorpions.


Cultivating the Soul-Devouring Scorpion mother is dozens of times more difficult than ordinary ones; this mother scorpion can shrink to the size of a nail and expand to the size of a human body.


The Soul-Devouring Scorpion mother in Gui Hufei’s hand shrank to nail size instantly, and he swallowed it directly. His body began to twitch uncontrollably, and his breathing through nose and mouth became extremely rapid.


"Beastification!"


Seeing the situation become bizarre, Ye Chenfeng intended to end Gui Hufei’s life right away.


"Creak! Creak! Creak!——"


Gui Hufei’s skin began to crack inch by inch, and the Soul-Devouring Scorpion mother he swallowed kept growing inside him.


Red scorpion shells protruded from Gui Hufei’s cracked skin.


Soon, Gui Hufei’s body was completely covered with a red scorpion shell, and his head was covered as well, with only his eyes visible.


Moreover, Gui Hufei’s last leg and arm fell off by themselves, spraying blood continuously, followed by the red pincers and small scorpion legs of the Soul-Devouring Scorpion emerging from him.


An extremely terrifying power exuded from Gui Hufei; his two eyes bulged fiercely out from the scorpion shell as they locked onto Ye Chenfeng.


This made Ye Chenfeng inwardly tense up.


Just then, Zuo Feibai, lying on the ground in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing the true intent behind Ye Chenfeng’s miraculous recovery...
