Chapter 815: Battle Against Soul Projection (4)


    Heaven-engulfing power came down like a tsunami that reached toward the heavens.


    When the Jewel Immortal Sovereign unleashed all her might, everyone sensed just how terrifying her power really was, and they began to put themselves in Tang Jie''s shoes, specting on whether they could block this attack and how long they could do it for.


    That deluge of Divine Connections put the power of a Soul Projection Celestial Sovereign on full disy. If she were allowed to continue, she could even punch a hole through the heavens themselves.


    The Infinite Pce groaned under the weight of all these attacks.


    While the Five Elements Dao power was sturdy, it was not endless. Tang Jie could sense his Dao power quickly draining, the Dao Runes in his body dimming.


    The Infinite Pce had once shattered from eleven of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s fingers, and it seemed like she was about to repeat her feat.


    But this time, Tang Jie wasn''t restricted to just helplessly watching.


    Standing on the raised tform, Tang Jie howled and unleashed seven Ten Extinctions de in a row at the Jewel Immortal Sovereign. These Ten Extinctions des were particrly powerful, wreathed in the Pale Cloud me.


    This me was a supreme sacred me once possessed by the me Celestial Sovereign, but in the past, Tang Jie had been unable to use its full power. As Tang Jie had grown in power, so had the Pale Cloud me, and it was no weaker than any other sacred me. As the me swept out, it transformed into countless fire birds and beasts to attack Jewel.Jewelughed. "You know I have a sacred beast that can eat mes, yet you still dare to try this?"


    As she spoke, her original body pped the Ink Jade wagon, upon which the nine Firess Snakes lunged at the Pale Cloud me.


    The Firess Snakes loved to eat fire, and they could even swallow the Pale Cloud me without a problem, so they directly countered Tang Jie''s me attack.


    Tang Jieughed. "I know you have fire snakes, but you definitely don''t know what I have."


    Jewel was startled, instantly realizing she was in trouble. Suddenly, the nine Firess Snakes opened their mouths and hissed in pain, spitting out blue mes.


    These blue mes were none other than the Deicide me.


    While Firess Snakes could swallow exotic mes, there were some that they could not digest, and the Deicide me was one of them.


    This me was simply too powerful, making up for what itcked flexibility-wisepared to the Pale Cloud me. Even after reaching Deification and entering the Dao of Fire, Tang Jie still couldn''tpletely control the Deicide me. But whileplete control was impossible, he could control its size, and with the Pale Cloud me serving as a cover, he had managed to hide the Deicide me within it. The Firess Snakes didn''t know this, but once they had devoured the mes, they immediately knew that they had eaten something they shouldn''t have. The Deicide me burned them up from within, but thanks to the innate attributes of the Firess Snakes, they were spared from being burned to ash. However, the me raging within them caused them to wildly pull on the wagon.


    The wagon was dragged around here and there, and since they were blocked from moving horizontally, the nine snakes rushed up to the sky, much to Jewel''s rm—she would lose if she left Heavenly Bnce Mountain.


    Shocked and enraged, Jewel hastily acted to stop the Firess Snakes.


    But having been burned by the Deicide me, the Firess Snakes weren''t easy to control at all, even spitting their mes at Jewel. Those raging blue mes were so powerful that even Jewel had to deal with them cautiously, which meant that she could no longer pay any attention to Tang Jie.


    Without the original body using the Fixlight Bottle to restrain Tang Jie, his movements were no longer hindered, and he bellowed and punched at the sky.


    As this strike mmed into the empty air, the air rippled like water.


    Yet these were no ripples, but waves of spiritual energy, howling outward like a furious storm.


    The Ring Rending Strike!


    This was the second of the moves in the Combat Emperor Catalog. While the initial strike hit empty air, the subsequent attack swept up everything in its surroundings in a furious tide of energy. Even the Three Pure Bodies were caught up in the wave and sent tumbling through the air.


    Tang Jie used this moment to make another punch, and Jewel saw a giant fist flying out of the distance, exuding an unstoppable aura that threatened to pulverize everything in its way.


    This was the strongest of the twelve Combat Emperor Catalog Strikes Tang Jie had learned: the Spirit Tearing Strike!


    The first six moves of the Combat Emperor Catalog focused on using physical power and were also aimed at physical power, while the middle six strikes targeted the soul, which was why they had names mentioning the soul or spirit.


    This strike wasn''t necessarily stronger than the Devil Crushing Strike, but it was many times stronger than it when it came to the Divine Soul. To deal with Jewel, Tang Jie had cast aside the order and used his strongest strike, but even so, thebat aura he exuded almost instantly doubledpared to what it was before.


    Jewel said in rm, "You were acting weak!?"


    Of course he had been. Having already reached the peak middle-grade Immortal Spirit Body, Tang Jie couldn''t possibly have been suppressed by Jewel''s assault. But he had been holding himself back so that he could find the right moment, and the Deicide me had thrown off Jewel enough for Tang Jie to unleash his explosive attack.


    He was well aware of how powerful and scary the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s Three Pure Bodies were. The fourbined could simply drown him to death with Divine Connections. If he let her use this strategy, he would end up losing like he had to Xiao Biehan. This was why he had chosen this strategy.


    He had even consumed his own lifespan to heal himself in order to keep up the act.


    The punch soared like a shooting star into the Jade Pure Body.


    The Jade Pure Body let out a scream of pain.


    Among the Three Pure Bodies, the Jade Pure Body had the strongest attack but the weakest defense. Tang Jie had put all his strength into the punch, unleashing a surge of supreme strength. At that moment, Jewel realized that she wouldn''t be able to protect the Jade Pure Body. The Jade Pure Body let out a sharp whistle and threw out the snake coiled around her body. Clenching her teeth, she formed a ck and red vortex around her to defend against this punch.


    Tang Jie''s punch struck the vortex, the energy within it rushing out. Much to everyone''s shock, all of that fierce energy was sucked into the vortex, leaving nothing behind. Could even this heaven-shaking strike from Tang Jie do nothing to the Jewel Immortal Sovereign?


    Suddenly, a crack appeared on the Jade Pure Body''s face.


    More and more cracks spread across her body, and ultimately, the avatar shattered and disappeared.


    Obliterated in a single strike!


    As the Jade Pure Body was only an avatar created through the mantra, its Divine Soul was much weaker than the original. This plus the fact that the Spirit Tearing Strike specifically targeted the Divine Soul meant that it had taken only one strike to destroy it.


    Of course, Tang Jie had nned everything out precisely for this moment. Repeating the feat would be very difficult.


    "NOOOO!" The Jewel Immortal Sovereign erupted in rage.


    Creating these Three Pure Bodies had not been easy, and each one had their own unique use. Moreover, together, they formed the Three Purities World, each one serving as a supporting pir. Tang Jie had now hacked one of them down, which had a massive effect on the small world, even threatening to copse it. How could she not be enraged over this?


    As the Jade Pure Body dissipated, the Three Purities World trembled and swayed, showing its instability.


    Jewel howled in anger, and she pointed at Tang Jie. "You will pay for this!"


    The Grand Pure Body and Supreme Pure Body raised their arms, and all of the Three Purities World began to sway, transforming into an azure gale that swept toward Tang Jie.


    This was the power of the Three Purities World, and one of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s ultimate moves.


    s, Tang Jie had cut down one of its supports before she had even had a chance to use it, greatly damaging it. Enraged, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign decided to gather up all of its power and use it to crush Tang Jie.


    In this aspect, Tang Jie had actually made an error, for he had pushed Jewel into a dead end.


    But even if he had known that things would turn out this way, Tang Jie wouldn''t have regretted it.


    He wasn''t inclined to y the part of a punching bag. As that azure gale swept toward him, he simplyughed and threw a punch at the power of this small world.


    Wave Reversing Strike!


    This punch was all about pushing against the current. The stronger the attack, the fiercer the counter strike would be.


    As Tang Jie punched at the power of Jewel''s Three Purities World, the world swayed and its nts withered. The fierce power of the Wave Reversing Strike had not just fended off the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s attack, it even pushed her back.


    The spectating cultivators were all stunned.


    "Is this the power of the Martial Lord''s body cultivator legacy? As expected of a divine existence of High Antiquity!" Reverend Wuwang stroked his beard and smiled.


    The battle had reached a white-hot intensity.


    The Jewel Immortal Sovereign was no longer holding back, and Tang Jie had used two strikes of the Combat Emperor Catalog back to back and taken the advantage.


    But Tang Jie knew that advantage didn''t mean victory. The Combat Emperor Catalog was powerful, but its greatest w was that he could only unleash twelve strikes and would be powerless afterward. If he could not settle his victory in those twelve strikes, any advantage he had gained in the meantime would be pointless.


    But how could just a few punches be enough to defeat Jewel?


    Jewel''s face shed red as she howled, "A good punch, but this one would like to see how many more such punches you can make!"


    The Jewel Immortal Sovereign had abundant battle experience and had immediately noticed the w of the Combat Emperor Catalog. Even though she was at a disadvantage, she remained unafraid. With a wave of her sleeve, that world power continued to surge forward.


    The Grand Pure Body and Supreme Pure Body also unleashed all their power. The Supreme Pure Body threw out her golden hoop, which transformed into a giant golden ring that sought to cast itself onto Tang Jie''s head. The snake the Jade Pure Body had thrown out before her death also turned into a giant snake and attempted to take a bite at Tang Jie''s head.


    The Grand Pure Body seemed very simple, but it had the Hand of Myriad Wonders, which granted her the greatest variety of moves. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a chilling wave that sealed the valley in ice.


    Jewel herself pointed her finger at the air, the bottle paralyzing Tang Jie once more and the nine snakes spewing the Deicide me back at Tang Jie, getting themselves out of their own crisis in doing so.


    Tang Jie knew that this was a critical moment, and as that wave of attacks approached, he let out a roar:


    "Stop!"


    Through the power of Law Speaking, the power of the world trembled.


    This single roar had even caused some of its power to copse.


    Tang Jie threw out three punches.


    Fierce Gale Strike!


    Thousand Heavens Strike!


    Illusion Crushing Strike!


    The Fierce Gale Strike stirred countless walls of wind. The Thousand Heavens Strike, though it was only one punch, filled the sky with phantom fists. As for the Illusion Crushing Strike, it was second to the Reincarnation Strike among the six middle strikes. It was stronger than the Spirit Rending Strike, able to make all things vanish in a single punch.


    The terrifying power of these three punches filled the valley. The valley couldn''t hold all this power, and it was sent upward like a volcanic eruption.


    These punches obliterated the endless army generated by the banner, halted the sea of trees, stymied the wave of ice, and stopped the golden hoop right over Tang Jie''s head. As for the Deicide me, Tang Jie called it back before it could hurt him. Only that massive snake from the Jade Pure Body refused to give up, throwing itself at Tang Jie in an attempt to devour him, and as a result, the Thousand Heavens Strike sted away half of its head.


    Even then, the snake didn''t give up. A dark bolt of energy shot out of its mouth. It just so happened that the Infinite Pce shattered at this moment, allowing that dark energy to strike Tang Jie in the shoulder. This threw Tang Jie''s blood energy into turmoil, which allowed the golden hoop to smash into his head, ttening his skull. But as he was knocked down, a punch flew out of the air and struck the Jewel Immortal Sovereign in the back, causing her to stagger and herplexion to pale.


    This strike was the Void Light Strike, the only stealth attack of the Combat Emperor Catalog. There was no indication given when this punch was made, allowing it to catch the opponentpletely off guard.


    In this round, both sides had suffered injury.


    Tang Jie''s injuries seemed worse than the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s, his brains sttered everywhere, but his recovery powers were also stronger than Jewel''s, so in an actualparison, it was Jewel who was worse off.


    The two of them gazed at each other, and then they roared in unison.


    Tang Jie''s berserk roar made him seem like an incarnation of the god of war.


    And with a wave of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign''s hand, the Supreme Pure Body and Grand Pure Body merged with her, disappearing into Jewel along with the Three Purities World.


    As all of her power returned to her, Jewel began to radiate a supreme aura.


    Her terrifying presence made her seem like a god high in the heavens.


    The majestic Jewel Immortal Sovereign bellowed in fury, "Tang Jie, for the feat of destroying one of my avatars and forcing me this far, you can be proud! I have seen your Dao Arts, so now, let me show my own Dao Art!


    "Gale of Dancing Void!"
