King of Creation Chapter 1685: 1670: Blood Slaughter Soul Destruction Bomb

“Where is Cheng Ji?”

“Reveal what happened to Cheng Ji, or I’ll make sure you don’t even get a complete corpse!”

“What’s your true identity?”

Abbot Jiwei unleashed a barrage of furious questions toward Ye Zhen. Even as he struggled to fixate on Ye Zhen’s background, his voice inadvertently exposed his inner turmoil.

Right now, Abbot Jiwei’s utmost worry fixed on the location of his hidden son, Cheng Ji.

A father’s such reactions are perfectly natural.

This explains why Abbot Jiwei, who could easily slay Ye Zhen with one blow, held back from striking at once.

Drawing on the psychic force provided by these Spirit Masters, he—as the branch temple abbot—employed a forbidden art to summon a sliver of Creation Spiritual Power, power exclusive to Creation Gods.

Though the amount of Creation Spiritual Power he could summon remained quite scant, when fused with the might from the Sun and Moon God Monarch’s Divine Statue, it erupted with devastating force.

A typical Dao Realm powerhouse would face utter doom if ensnared by his present assault infused with Creation Spiritual Power.

It resembled a warrior armed with a Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow facing off against one with a mere hunting bow—the result was inevitable.

At this instant, his sole desire burned to uncover his son Cheng Ji’s fate!

Ye Zhen naturally perceived Abbot Jiwei’s mindset clearly. Others might leverage Cheng Ji’s location for leverage.

Yet Ye Zhen simply aimed to halt Abbot Jiwei’s move for the time being.

“Grand Spirit Master Cheng Ji?”

“Apologies, but I’ve already shredded him to bits, scattering his soul completely!” While declaring this, Ye Zhen immersed his complete Divine Sense into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, his frame surging with Spiritual Energy, poised to tweak his position anytime, merely awaiting Abbot Jiwei’s onslaught.

After all, Ye Zhen had schemed for ages, anticipating precisely this opportunity!

Nothing surpassed the chance to dispel suspicions against himself while boosting his own power simultaneously.

“Dead?”

Stunned briefly by the revelation, Abbot Jiwei’s eyes flared crimson with berserk fury in the next heartbeat.

“You dare slay my son? Then join him in death!”

Roaring fiercely, his palms wove bizarre seals, as Spirit Light converged at his brow and fingertips, pulling forth a faint crimson Creation Spirit Light from the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch’s Divine Statue.

As the Creation Spirit Light emerged, Abbot Jiwei’s face twisted savagely, and he coughed up a gush of golden Origin Gold Blood, making the Spirit Light coiling amid his seals balloon dramatically, while the drawn Creation Spirit Light abruptly doubled in size.

“Perish!”

With a snap of his seals, the faint crimson Creation Spirit Light hurtled at Ye Zhen like a bolt of lightning.

Eyes partially shut, Ye Zhen ignited Sword Heart Enlightenment fully, detecting the incoming Creation Spirit Light’s trajectory and subtly raising half a foot while inching two units to the left!

The velocity of this Creation Spirit Light proved utterly horrifying.

Despite Ye Zhen’s readiness and vigilant wait for this precise instant, he commenced his dodge the very second the Creation Spirit Light launched.

Still, he scarcely completed a minor shift before the Creation Spirit Light smashed into him.

In essence, without the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen would have met his end beneath this Creation Spirit Light’s blow!

The thumb-sized faint crimson Creation Spirit Light precisely struck between Ye Zhen’s chest and stomach.

Witnessing this, satisfaction gleamed in Abbot Jiwei’s gaze; he merely hoped the murderer wasn’t so frail as to be erased entirely, body and Divine Soul alike.

He yearned for the Divine Soul to flee intact.

That way, he could capture this fiend’s Divine Soul, tormenting it endlessly during interrogation to extract vengeance for his son, Cheng Ji!

Countless methods existed to ravage a Divine Soul!

Meanwhile, the remaining Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters exhaled in relief, sensing peril averted at last.

They harbored zero uncertainty about Creation Spirit Light’s might—also termed Divine Power.

Boom!

Though this Creation Spirit Light impacted merely Ye Zhen’s chest and abdomen, slipping into the Mirage Dragon Pearl instead of his actual form, its immense impact rattled the pearl inside him, forcing Ye Zhen’s body to hunch like a shrimp.

Within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, where the Creation Spirit Light battered the lingering Fifth Stage Sealing Barrier, the obstruction melted away like ice in scalding broth, dissolving at breakneck speed.

The inner space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl swelled explosively, and even Achou—the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit’s manifestation—expanded amid the barrier’s rapid collapse.

Within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, the Fifth Stage Sealing Barrier dissolved rapidly, as Ye Zhen gradually stood upright amid the shockwaves of the collision.

Abbot Jiwei, who had been hoping Ye Zhen's innate Divine Soul would hold firm, stared in astonishment at this sight.

“Impossible!”

Abbot Jiwei shook his head, refusing to believe it.

Not even the faintest thread of Creation Spirit Light could be endured by a typical martial artist.

Without reaching that ultimate threshold, the top Dao Realm masters would face grievous wounds or instant death from such an assault!

Ye Zhen stood there utterly unharmed, something no one else could achieve.

The proverb declaring all beings as ants under creation holds profound truth.

Only if the man in front of him had already mastered Creation Spiritual Power.

But that's utterly inconceivable!

Neither the methods Ye Zhen employed nor the Spiritual Power emanating from him bore any sign of Creation Spiritual Power.

Still, this unbelievable event played out directly in his view.

All at once, a memory struck Abbot Jiwei, igniting a sudden realization in his thoughts!

“Is it you?”

“You were behind the Shahe City branch temple incident too, right?”

The Heavenly Temple's probe into the Shahe City branch massacre had been exhaustively detailed, beyond comprehension.

While most investigation findings were released publicly by the Heavenly Temple, a select portion stayed confidential, accessible solely to abbot-level leaders.

Abbot Jiwei was among those cleared to access it.

Findings showed that Shahe City abbot Zhao Shi, before his demise, triggered a forbidden art to call forth Creation Spirit Light from the Sun and Moon Divine Palace against the foe.

The unleashing of Creation Spirit Light was supposed to obliterate the attacker.

Yet precise analysis revealed the adversary survived despite the Creation Spirit Light's strike.

The outcome proved utterly terrifying!

The Heavenly Temple deemed it utterly unbearable and unforgivable.

This explains their unyielding drive to seize Ye Zhen now.

How could a Fifth Stage Divine Communication Realm cultivator like Ye Zhen dismiss Creation Spiritual Power so casually?

Not even their Divine Masters or Grand Divine Masters would dare face Creation Spirit Light directly.

Yet Ye Zhen appeared totally unscathed in their sight!

They suspected Ye Zhen hid a profound secret, maybe one that neutralized Creation Spirit Light, or possessed an artifact rivaling its might.

Normally, for Ye Zhen's Fifth Stage Divine Communication Realm level to repel Creation Spirit Light, it would require an Innate Spiritual Treasure—nothing less would do.

An Innate Spiritual Treasure would stir envy even in a Creation God.

This remained mere speculation, of course.

Exactly for this reason, the Heavenly Temple stood firm; they demanded to handle Ye Zhen decisively and take him alive.

Now, witnessing Ye Zhen untouched by the Creation Spirit Light, Abbot Jiwei instantly linked it to the Shahe City Branch Temple event.

One couldn't imagine it before, but a single thought sent chills down the spine!

The parallels were strikingly eerie.

Nine-Headed Beast, Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, peculiar Sword Light—four elements aligned perfectly, lacking only the Cloud Winged Tiger King.

Remembering the earlier tiger's roar echoing from emptiness, Abbot Jiwei was convinced: if this man wasn't tied to the Shahe City slaughters, he'd chop off his own head and use it as a ball.

With that realization, Abbot Jiwei bellowed forth.

“Quick, contact the nearest Weizhou Branch Temple right away! No, reach the Luoyi Sub-Temple at once!” He whipped out three compact communication arrays from his storage with a wave and yelled to the Spirit Masters trailing him.

“Quick, insert the Spirit Stones, link to the Sub-Temple!”

“Hasten, dispatch this intel without delay!”

“All others, keep chanting and channeling!”

Barking orders rapidly, Abbot Jiwei sharply grasped that this revelation could be his path to salvation.

After the devastating strike on the Heavenly Temple Luozhou Branch, survival wouldn't spare him from the superiors' wrath.

Yet this breakthrough might spare him punishment and propel him upward.

“Kill!”

“Unleash total assault! Break through the Temple in the briefest moment!” Simultaneously, Ye Zhen thundered, driven to desperate frenzy like a beast at bay.

Sword Light, Flames, Blade Light, verdant Spirit Arrows fiercely hammered the Creation Spirit Light shield guarding the Sun and Moon Divine Palace!

A flicker of triumph gleamed in Abbot Jiwei’s eyes at Ye Zhen’s desperate urgency.

“Hahaha, you demon, this time you’re finished! Utterly finished!”

“Even with a Creation God backing you, you’ll surely perish for destroying two branches of our Heavenly Temple!”

Amid his laughter, Abbot Jiwei spurred them on, “Hurry and send the message, everyone else keep infusing—as long as we persist in chanting and pouring power, we’ll definitely endure!”

“What are you doing?”

A piercing shout abruptly rang out from behind Abbot Jiwei.

A Spirit Master nearby spotted another Spirit Master beside him suddenly halt his hand seals, knitting his brows in query.

Truth be told, doubts had stirred in him earlier.

This unfamiliar Spirit Master next to him chanted and infused just like the rest, yet no Power of Belief could be felt from him.

The prior chaos had kept him from probing, but with this stranger now ceasing his infusion, he finally voiced his question.

Oddly, the stranger offered no reply.

As Abbot Jiwei spun around at the noise, he beheld the stranger with an eerie smirk on his lips, his fingers clenching tight in a flash!

Boom!

Crimson flames burst forth one after another within the Sun and Moon Divine Palace, surging over the Spirit Masters like devastating shockwaves!

Those Spirit Masters of the Divine Communication Realm—who provided the telekinetic force to channel the Creation Spiritual Power for Abbot Jiwei—were ripped to shreds like mere paper scraps amid the blood-red inferno.

Those few minor communication transfer formations perished alongside them.

Caught off guard, even Abbot Jiwei was hurled airborne by the raging blood-red flames.

While soaring through the air, Abbot Jiwei glimpsed the very same peculiar smile on Ye Zhen’s lips as the enigmatic Spirit Master had shown moments before!

Abbot Jiwei’s climb to abbot of a Heavenly Temple branch temple stemmed from his exceptional cunning.

Linking the chain of events, utter despair swiftly etched across his face!

Deception!

He grasped that throughout, he’d been thoroughly duped and manipulated by the foe before him!

Spotting the tie between this man and the killer from the Shahe City Branch Temple, he’d believed he’d uncovered the scheme, pushing the culprit into frenzy!

Yet it was all his delusion.

Ye Zhen’s feigned hysteria served only to distract him, letting the impostor Spirit Master inside the Sun and Moon Divine Palace strike from within!

Blood Slaughter Soul Destruction Bomb!

That was the name of the Blood Thunder unleashed by the two disguised Spirit Masters—a Demon Clan weapon forged from Blood Evil Qi via their forbidden arts.

Detonated, it could slay Divine Communication Realm experts with ease, grievously wound Dark Palace Realm powerhouses, and pose a minor threat even to Realm King Realm titans.

Within the Demon Clan, it ranked as elite military gear, comparable to Great Zhou’s Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow—under iron control, unavailable to common folk.

“Are you from the Demon Clan?” Abbot Jiwei cried out, identifying the Blood Thunder’s source.

But Ye Zhen gave no response.

What greeted Abbot Jiwei instead was a streak of blood-red Blade Light.

With Abbot Jiwei blasted back, the Spirit Masters fueling his telekinesis lay dead—slain by Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar, posing as one of them, via the Blood Slaughter Soul Destruction Bomb.

In one devastating strike, the Creation Spirit Light barrier shielding the Sun and Moon Divine Palace crumbled apart.

Ziling and Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal Avatar breached the palace depths, delivering a fatal slash to the wounded Abbot Jiwei, his injuries flaring from the Blood Slaughter Soul Destruction Bomb!

As for Abbot Jiwei’s Primordial Spirit fleeing in panic, the War Soul Blood Flag descended to swallow it whole.

Capturing Abbot Jiwei’s Primordial Spirit for soul-searching—to pry Heavenly Temple secrets—would’ve been ideal under normal circumstances.

Yet wary of the Heavenly Temple’s enigmatic tracking arts, Ye Zhen opted to destroy it outright, avoiding any hidden pursuit!

Abbot Jiwei’s death left the Heavenly Temple Luozhou Branch devoid of survivors.

Still, the purge was only starting!

Guided by Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, the Demon Marshal Avatar wielded the War Soul Blood Flag to scour the Heavenly Temple Luozhou Branch inside and out.

Not a single Remnant Soul could linger as proof!

At the same time, Ye Zhen recalled the hundred Spirit Void Fruit Tree Demons into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, unleashing cascades of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire to burn away their lingering auras.

Meanwhile, Ziling darted through the rooms of the Heavenly Temple Luozhou Branch like a specter, eliminating any potential survivors.

At that very moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense extended outward as well!
