Chapter 1458: Worthwhile Loss

Chapter 1458: Worthwhile Loss Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen laughed and stood up. Countless Buddhist runes circulated around his body as his wounds gradually healed. A demon-subduing pestle appeared in his hand again. It was a fourth-grade Primordial Chaos-grade artifact.

With his current combat strength, he could barely unleash its full power.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Chen was now wearing a golden kasaya, which was a sixth-grade Primordial Chaos-grade artifact. He also unleashed the Buddhist Great Dao, ready to fight the Universe Soul Dragon.

With the Universe Soul Dragon’s full attention on him now, it was impossible to escape. Fighting was the only option!

No matter how strong the enemy was, he would not and could not hesitate!

…

He was within the Ten Thousand Soul Dragon Formation, so everything around him was dangerous. On the way to the center of the first layer of the formation, Ye Chen had avoided many dangerous places, only being able to do so because the Universe Soul Dragon ignored him.

Around the third layer, there were cracks on the ground everywhere, from which white-hot flames spewed out. Even if Ye Chen’s physical body could withstand it, he would definitely be injured if he was struck by them.

As for the second layer, although the man-eating black fishes were gone, the Black Water Mystic River was still corrosive, and he would only be able to cross it at certain points.

As for the first layer, there were lava and geysers everywhere!

If he was injured by the Universe Soul Dragon and fell into one of these dangerous places, even if the Universe Dragon ceased attacking him, he would most likely be finished!

Therefore, Ye Chen stood his ground.

“Let’s do this!”

Ye Chen’s body shone with thousands of rays of light, and countless puppet guardians and artifacts flew out. He held the demon-subduing pestle in his hand and smiled wickedly. “You were already injured by my earlier attack, and now only possess the combat strength of a fifth-level Dao Integration realm expert at most!”

“In addition, you’re not a real cultivation or demonic beast, so you don’t have temporal or spatial laws. Your Dao is only a derivative of the person who created you, so I’m not afraid of you!”

After careful observation, Ye Chen was certain that due to these limitations, the Universe Soul Dragon could only exert the combat strength of a third-level Dao Integration realm expert, despite its actual cultivation level being higher.”

What was there to be afraid of?

In this case, he would take a chance at killing this Universe Soul Dragon, and then breaking through to the Divine King realm, before leaving the formation.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

In a flash, explosions erupted left, right and center, scattering dust, sand and even lava everywhere. The blood rain was mixed with the falling lava above the Black Water Mystic River in the second layer. Some of the surviving man-eating black fishes that had hidden swam further down, not daring to approach the surface of the river.

At the same time, the Universe Soul Dragon kept waving its claws and attacked Ye Chen from afar.

It was heavily injured and could only unleash a portion of its full strength. The first attack had severely injured Ye Chen, and the next three attacks had almost shattered Ye Chen’s body. However, after those four moves, its strength had decreased drastically. The power of its fifth attack was not even one-third of the fourth attack!

“Little b*stard!”

“You barged into my territory. I didn’t attack you, but you plotted against me! Despicable human!”

A dragon’s roar resounded, and it sounded incomparably cold. Anger overflowed from the depths of the Universe Soul Dragon’s heart.

The Soul Race was insignificant to it, and its status was far higher. Even most of the experts from the Hall of Souls had to treat it with respect.

However, this brat had humiliated and disrespected it in its own territory. How could it not be angry?

“Your territory?” Ye Chen snorted coldly. “Using the blood of so many cultivators to nurture this place… Your Soul Race is pretty evil, huh?”

“Today, I will also destroy this forbidden area!”

Hearing this, the Universe Soul Dragon became even angrier and roared, “Heavenly Dragon Dance!”

In an instant, streaks of blood-red light gushed out from the Universe Soul Dragon’s body. It extended two claws at the same time, and the center of its claws was surrounded by streaks of red light. The red light shot out and transformed into blood-red dragons that surged forward like bolts of lightning, intent on killing Ye Chen.

‘Little b*stard!’

‘How dare he threaten to destroy my territory! He even dared to destroy the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Dragon Herbs! I must kill him!’

‘Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain this matter to Master!’

Boom! Bang!

Ye Chen gripped the Buddhist staff with all his strength and smashed it into the incoming blood-red dragons. Countless Buddhist runes and destruction power surged out and shattered half of the blood-red dragons.

The remaining blood-red dragons caused five bloody wounds. However, he only laughed at this.

“I was right! Your combat strength is only as good as a third-level Dao Integration realm expert!”

He had the power of his seven masters, so if he went all out, his cultivation level could be boosted to the first level of the Dao Integration realm.

Furthermore, the countless puppet guardians and artifacts flying around also played a huge role, constantly disrupting the Universe Soul Dragon and wounding it, though they would not be able to kill it.

In this battle, it was the Universe Soul Dragon that was at a disadvantage!

“Universe Soul Dragon!”

“You’re not just a construct created from soul power, right?”

“I can see that your physical body has already condensed to a certain extent. It’s obvious that you used a Dao Integration-grade artifact to forge it, perhaps even more than one.”

“In that case, I’ll kill you and use your body as a tool to break through. I will become even stronger!” Ye Chen controlled the artifacts with both hands and attacked the Universe Soul Dragon with all his might, ignoring the loss of artifacts and puppet guardians.

As long as he killed the Universe Soul Dragon, he would definitely obtain a treasure equivalent to a few Dao Integration-grade artifacts. It was even very likely that he would obtain a fifth or sixth-grade Dao Integration-grade artifact!

It would be worth it even if he lost all of his puppet guardians and artifacts!

“Divine King-grade artifacts, work in formation!”

“Primordial Chaos-grade artifacts, attack!”

“Dao Integration-grade artifact spirit, prepare to unleash a full-power attack!”

Ye Chen spoke softly. He was giving orders to the artifact spirits within the artifacts. Moments later, his left palm glowed with red light. The puppet guardians filled the sky and formed an army. Although there were only a few hundred of them, each puppet guardian was filled with boundless killing intent, like iron-blooded soldiers!
