King of Creation Chapter 1647: 1632: Purple Spirit Loses Its Cool
Previously on King of Creation...
Right as Mountain God Yi Xun yelled ‘begin,’ both Ye Zhen and Yuann Yinying sprang into action together.
Yet, against all predictions, Ye Zhen skipped dodging or setting up defenses right at the battle's outset.
Ye Zhen's initial response was—strike first!
The ultimate defense comes from a powerful attack!
A Xuan Fire Drill wrapped in purple flames, crafted from Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire with Thunder Light flashing within, howled through the air toward Yuann Yinying at blistering speed.
Its velocity edged out even Yuann Yinying’s own assault slightly.
Ye Zhen outpaced Yuann Yinying mainly because he had already amassed his energy prior to Yi Xun's signal, securing a tiny edge.
This Xuan Fire Drill from Ye Zhen radiated a dreadfully potent aura, enough to shift Yuann Yinying’s face in alarm.
The cause was straightforward: with prior preparation, Ye Zhen unleashed his mightiest Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill this round.
Ye Zhen was certain that against his Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill, not even Yuann Yinying’s strength could dismiss it lightly.
Yuann Yinying’s changed expression proved he couldn’t overlook Ye Zhen’s Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill, though a mocking smirk tugged at his lips.
This strike, while dangerous and unexpected, he still boasted he could brush off!
Yuann Yinying merely shrugged, triggering a brief but intense spatial fluctuation in the emptiness, and before Ye Zhen’s Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill could close in, his form vanished in a flash.
Yet the disappearing Yuann Yinying missed the faint smile flickering in Ye Zhen’s gaze.
Had Yuann Yinying caught that sly grin when he deployed his Spatial Divine Ability to evade, he might have grasped the trap immediately.
Nearly the moment Yuann Yinying vanished, Ye Zhen fired off yet another Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill from his palm.
He tossed it offhandedly toward a spot over a hundred meters ahead.
The relaxed throw mirrored exactly how Ye Zhen had handled Yuann Hongying earlier.
As a subtle spatial ripple surfaced, Yuann Yinying’s silhouette popped out right there, a hundred meters before Ye Zhen.
But the second he materialized, Yuann Yinying froze in shock.
A whirling purple flame-shrouded Fire Drill screamed at him, now mere meters away.
Before any counter, the Xuan Fire Drill slammed into his torso.
Horrific flames rippled outward, swiftly etching patterns across the void.
At the same time, a green glow erupted like a lotus in flames, battling back the encroaching fire.
The green radiance surged like waves, exposing Yuann Yinying’s somewhat ragged appearance.
Half his long hair was charred, his chest robes reduced to dust, and his outstretched right hand glowed red like a steamed crab.
On Yuann Yinying’s frame, a Spirit Armor of dark feathers with a metallic luster came into view.
“A mid-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure!” An envious Martial Artist’s voice rang through the void.
While many foresaw Yuann Yinying owning a defensive Acquired Spirit Treasure, witnessing it firsthand still sparked envy.
Yuann Yinying’s face turned grim and icy!
Just seconds prior, he finally comprehended the stifling frustration his brother Yuann Hongying endured, and grasped the eerie prowess of Di Kuohai.
Earlier as a spectator, he couldn’t fathom why Yuann Hongying, fresh from the void, got intercepted by Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Drill.
Now it clicked.
It felt like stepping forward as an easy mark for punishment.
Without his mid-grade defensive Acquired Spirit Treasure and Peak Ninth Stage Realm King Realm cultivation boosting his defenses far beyond his brother’s, he might have fallen to Ye Zhen’s strike.
Actually, Yuann Yinying had noticed this during his watch, but dismissed it.
What about Yuann Hongying’s cultivation? His Divine Eagle Sky Flying Divine Ability always left trails.
But Yuann Yinying’s level?
Forget Fifth Stage Divine Communication Realm Martial Artists—even Dao Realm Experts couldn’t trace his Spatial Divine Ability path.
Thus, he boldly evaded Ye Zhen’s apparent simple strike, only to tumble into Ye Zhen’s scheme anyway.
To Ye Zhen, every bit was planned ahead.
Since Yuann Yinying and Yuann Hongying were siblings, their Holy Eagle Family’s signature Divine Skills likely overlapped.
Should Yuann Yinying tank the Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill head-on, he’d squander a turn.
If he dodged via Spatial Divine Ability instead, Ye Zhen—with Divine Sense rooted in Void-Slaughtering Radiance—would hit him with another Seven Formation Profound Fire Drill, still costing a turn.
“First move!”
Mountain God Yi Xun’s declaration echoed in the void as a simple yet mighty Sword Light streaked like lightning from Ye Zhen’s position, chopping down at Yuann Yinying.
Yuann Yinying’s lips twisted into a vicious sneer, “Two more moves and you’re finished!”
With his bellow, Yuann Yinying’s palms shook, summoning silver-glowing gloves etched with intricate Mysterious Patterns.
The moment these silver gloves emerged, the surrounding void quivered oddly.
A Dao Realm expert spotting those silver-shining gloves in the emptiness shuddered hard, shock flooding his eyes.
“A postnatal spiritual treasure of the spatial power class, this Yuann Yinying actually possesses a postnatal spiritual treasure of the spatial power class!”
With a casual flick of his silver-lit fingers, Yuann Yinying swept his hand, making the void ahead—where the incoming sword hovered—tremble and rip apart.
The split space gaped like a ravenous beast, unleashing a horrifying suction and shredding force from its foggy gray maw.
It looked ready to gulp down Ye Zhen’s Sword Light entirely.
But then, the Sword Light let out a furious howl, flashing abruptly—not only escaping the crack’s pull and tear, but splitting into five Sword Lights gleaming with unique Five Elements hues, its Sword Qi surging tenfold in ferocity.
The five Five Elements Sword Lights danced, instantly weaving a profound sword array that enveloped Yuann Yinying from overhead.
Suddenly, Yuann Yinying stood stunned.
Mountain God Yi Xun stood stunned.
The six Dao Realm experts floated stunned, myriad watching Martial Artists stood stunned!
This shattered all Sword Dao norms.
A released Sword Light’s transformations ought to stay limited, yet Ye Zhen—this Di Kuohai before them—pulled endless feats!
Never had they witnessed a sword wielded so ingeniously!
They yearned to question Ye Zhen: how did that Sword Light evade the space crack’s devouring, and how did one Sword Light unleash sword array might instantly?
How much dedication had Ye Zhen poured into Sword Dao for such mastery?
Truthfully, Ye Zhen held no answers.
None stemmed from his own prowess.
Ye Zhen invested zero effort into the Acquired Spirit Treasure Purple Spirit Immortal Sword; he simply directed Purple Spirit against Yuann Yinying, issuing a command to endure at least one strike.
Initially, Purple Spirit’s reaction stayed routine, matching Ye Zhen’s norm.
But when Yuann Yinying tore the void casually and the space crack threatened to consume and shred Purple Spirit, it exploded into action.
The Five Elements Sword Formation—even Ye Zhen beheld it for the first time today.
Plus, beyond Purple Spirit drawing fifty percent power from Ye Zhen’s Five Elements Spiritual Pillars, it bypassed Ye Zhen entirely.
He remained oblivious to the specifics.
Ye Zhen figured Yuann Yinying’s prior move truly imperiled Purple Spirit, igniting its rage.
That had to be it.
Bad luck for Yuann Yinying!
A Sword Light abruptly unleashing devastating sword array power, trapping him utterly, forced Yuann Yinying to confront it directly!
Moreover, he’d spotted the array’s core: a Low Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure-level Spirit Sword.
Such a Spirit Sword could wound him.
Thus, Yuann Yinying activated his Mid-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, Green Darkness Black Feather Cloak, at full force again!
Blazing green light flared anew amid the rainbow Sword Light barrage.
Meanwhile, Yuann Yinying’s gloved ten fingers traced silver trails, spawning space cracks that gobbled the Five Elements Sword Lights.
The Five Elements Sword Lights clashed with Yuann Yinying thrice, sparking three green flares on his Mid-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Green Darkness Black Feather Cloak, before the rifts Yuann Yinying ripped fully consumed them.
As Yuann Yinying’s deft hands maneuvered and a space crack neared Purple Spirit’s sword true body, Purple Spirit morphed into purple light and darted back swiftly.
“Ye, your cultivation’s too weak to supply me enough power!” Purple Spirit griped at Ye Zhen.
“If your cultivation matched Yuann Hongying’s, I’d shred that bastard Yuann Yinying into eight chunks today!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Ye Zhen’s Mansion too.
“That bastard Yuann Yinying nearly let a space crack devour my true body while I slipped; almost lost this new sword body. Had to give him a lesson, hum!” Somehow, Purple Spirit picked up foul mouth from Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, tossing ‘bastard’ around.
“Blame yourself for weakness!” Purple Spirit griped at Ye Zhen once more, “I handled my one-move duty; now it’s yours!”
“Second move!” Mountain God Yi Xun announced again, drawing a flicker of concern in the five-clawed silver dragon’s massive eyes.
“Already two moves down!” The five-clawed silver dragon fretted, eyeing Yuann Yinying.
Not only the five-clawed silver dragon—all present Martial Artists, including the six Dao Realm experts, reeled from the scene!
Ye Zhen blocked two moves so effortlessly; was Yuann Yinying that feeble?
The five-clawed silver dragon’s anxious stare blackened Yuann Yinying’s mood further, already seething.
Damn this freakish Di Kuohai; two of three moves gone, without grazing his robe.
With the third looming, failure to fell Di Kuohai now would mean total humiliation.
This final move had to crush Ye Zhen!
Yet as Yuann Yinying steeled himself—even willing to burn essence blood—he froze once more.
His eyes bulged like bronze bells!
