King of Creation-Chapter 1600 - 1585: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Stop him?"
"How are you going to stop him?" Just as Ye Zhen made a decision, Purple Spirit doused him with a bucket of cold water, "Are you planning to interrupt his refining control over the Void-Slaughtering Radiance? Or are you planning to kill Yuann Hongying?"
"Kill Yuann Hongying? That’s absolutely impossible!" Ye Zhen shook his head. Yuann Hongying possessed three Acquired Spirit Treasures, including a defensive one, and killing him wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a short time.
If Ye Zhen had fifteen minutes, there might be a chance to eliminate Yuann Hongying in a surprise attack.
But the problem was, Dao Realm Expert Eunuch Fuq was right overhead.
Forget about fifteen minutes; as soon as anything happened here, if there was any fluctuation in Qi, Eunuch Fuq would be here within a breath.
Eliminating Yuann Hongying was not possible, so he could only think of interrupting Yuann Hongying’s refining and control of the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, which seemed to be the only way to stop Yuann Hongying.
But just as this thought rose in his mind, Ye Zhen gave a bitter smile.
Ye Zhen already understood the meaning behind Purple Spirit’s words.
The only way to stop Yuann Hongying from refining the Void-Slaughtering Radiance was to kill him.
As for interrupting his refining control of the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, it held no practical significance.
Even if Ye Zhen managed to stir up some commotion to interrupt Yuann Hongying’s action of refining the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, the issue was that this Void-Slaughtering Radiance wouldn’t dissipate; it remained here.
As long as Eunuch Fuq suppressed it again, it would converge once more, and Yuann Hongying could continue his refining control.
Regarding a second interruption, Ye Zhen didn’t believe that once he interrupted Yuann Hongying, Eunuch Fuq would give him a second chance.
"Ye, the current situation leaves you with no choice. You can only watch as Yuann Hongying refines and collects the Void-Slaughtering Radiance. There’s nothing you can do with that Dao Realm Expert hovering overhead; any of your attempts would be like a mosquito sucking blood. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
In that case, all you would face is being swatted to death!" Purple Spirit said helplessly.
"No, that’s not it."
Ye Zhen showed a horrified expression, "According to what you said, if he indeed collects control of the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, on the night of the full moon a few months later, the only choice I’d have is to hide like a turtle.
Moreover, there’s no way to be a turtle because they will come to Dulong Island."
"Indeed, you can’t kill Yuann Hongying, and the Void-Slaughtering Radiance won’t dissipate. You’re powerless and have no choice. In this situation, what can you do?" Purple Spirit spread her hands in helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen bitterly laughed and began to ponder deeply.
Ye Zhen was not someone to give up lightly. Since he couldn’t kill Yuann Hongying, there was no point in wasting time on him.
If not on Yuann Hongying, the only direction Ye Zhen could focus on was the Void-Slaughtering Radiance itself.
"Is there a way to make this Void-Slaughtering Radiance disappear? Or send it away from here?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Can you ask a clueless toddler to leave its mother’s embrace? Is that possible? For the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, this sea of clouds is where it was born and nurtured. Unless it developed Spirit Wisdom, it wouldn’t consider leaving this place." Purple Spirit said.
Almost at the same time, Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s urgent voice sounded, "Lord Ye, you should have asked me earlier. I have at least thirty methods in my hand to destroy this Void-Slaughtering Radiance or make it dissipate. Would you like me to tell you all of them?"
Ye Zhen had been simultaneously questioning Purple Spirit and Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou. Recently, Achou had been constantly competing with Purple Spirit, eager to show off at every opportunity, hoping to outshine Purple Spirit in terms of knowledge and demonstrate its capabilities.
Before Ye Zhen could respond, Purple Spirit sneered, "Not just thirty; I can find fifty ways to destroy or make this Void-Slaughtering Radiance dissipate.
But the methods we can implement require at least a few hours of preparation. That old man above, would he let you prepare?
Let alone give you a few hours?"
"This... "
Achou, eager to perform, was instantly embarrassed.
Indeed, it hadn’t considered this, only thinking about telling Ye Zhen the methods.
This situation immediately made Ye Zhen understand that Purple Spirit and Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou were both brainless entities. While they could provide Ye Zhen with some references and methods,
hoping they would find solutions to difficult problems was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
To solve the problem, he had to rely on himself.
His Divine Sense cautiously spread out like water waves. Ye Zhen, hidden within the Five Elements Spiritual Power, began to observe various aspects to see if he could find anything to help stop Yuann Hongying.
After half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen didn’t find a way to stop Yuann Hongying but discovered something else.
"Purple Spirit, have you noticed that in this sea of clouds, the fluctuation of Divine Soul Power is significantly weakened?
Currently, Yuann Hongying is mobilizing Divine Soul Power to refine and absorb the Void-Slaughtering Radiance. When I’m ten meters away from him, his Divine Waves are still very strong, but at a hundred meters away, his Divine Soul Waves I can sense are ten times weaker.
Beyond a kilometer, his Divine Soul Waves are like silk threads, extremely weak." Ye Zhen said.
"That’s quite normal! The distortion and fluctuation of space make the sensing of various power fluctuations, including Divine Soul Power, blurred," Purple Spirit casually said.
Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly became very serious, "So, if there’s a little unexpected Divine Soul Wave here, someone tens of thousands of meters away at the top of the cloud sea, like that Eunuch Fuq, wouldn’t be able to sense it, right?"
"As long as it’s not too strong, they won’t sense it! But don’t get any ideas; that Eunuch Fuq will definitely have a trace of Divine Sense focused on Yuann Hongying.
If anything unexpected happens to Yuann Hongying, he’ll be here within a breath," Purple Spirit said.
"I won’t let anything happen to him, but I can keep him in this state indefinitely." At this point, Ye Zhen suddenly smiled, "I might have thought of a way to stop Yuann Hongying, but it’s a bit risky."
"Risky?"
"There’s nothing in this world without risk. The key is whether the risk is worth the potential reward," Purple Spirit said.
"Absolutely worth it, and it’s a win-win!" Ye Zhen said.
Curious, Purple Spirit wanted to ask more, but Ye Zhen suddenly closed his eyes, "Let me refine the plan a bit more."
Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen went through the sudden plan in his mind more than ten times, making several modifications and additions, before slowly opening his eyes.
"Achou, using the Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon to create an illusory realm should be your specialty, right? There shouldn’t be any problem making Yuann Hongying think he’s refining and controlling the Void-Slaughtering Radiance?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.
"This kind of illusory realm is a piece of cake! I can even make the refining progress appear more real than reality!
But the problem is, how do I bring the target into this illusory realm?
If I can’t lure him in, no matter how exquisite the illusory realm, it will only be seen by me." Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou said.
"I’ll handle that." Ye Zhen said confidently, then added, "By the way, to be safe, use the Origin Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon this time when creating the illusory realm."
"Got it, you rascal."
The next instant, Ye Zhen’s divine sense dove into the Spirit Beast Bag, connecting with Ling Qianbi inside.
"Qianbi, can your All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Ability bypass the protection of a divine soul defense type Acquired Spirit Treasure to attack his divine soul?"
Yuann Hongying had an Acquired Spirit Treasure of the divine soul defense type, something Ye Zhen had personally encountered.
"Master, that’s impossible! Acquired Spirit Treasures, especially divine soul defense ones, can block any divine soul attack even without active activation," Ling Qianbi said.
"Then what if you don’t attack, just pull him into an illusory realm?" Ye Zhen asked again.
Ling Qianbi was an expert in divine soul matters, so Ye Zhen could only consult Ling Qianbi on this.
"Still impossible!" Ling Qianbi stated.
"Not possible?" Now, Ye Zhen was disappointed. Could it be that his win-win plan wasn’t feasible after all?
"Master, could you let me know your entire plan? Perhaps I can rearrange it," Ling Qianbi suggested.
As it wasn’t a secret, Ye Zhen transmitted the entire plan to Ling Qianbi via divine soul telecommunication.
Soon, Ling Qianbi’s surprised voice came through, "Master, your plan is completely feasible, and there shouldn’t be any problem. Why did you say it isn’t?"
"Didn’t you say you couldn’t pull him into an illusory realm?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
"Master, I meant I can’t use the All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Ability to pull him into the illusory realm I create, but I can lead him into another illusory realm using it.
The key now is how powerful is the illusory realm that Master set up? If it can seamlessly trap him, then there’s no problem," Ling Qianbi explained.
Ye Zhen was overjoyed, "Rest assured about that illusory realm. It’s definitely one of the top illusory realms in the world, even Dao Realm experts may not escape!"
Ling Qianbi glanced at Ye Zhen in surprise. She had never seen an illusory realm even Dao Realm experts couldn’t escape from.
Even her grandfather couldn’t achieve that.
However, since Master said so, it should be fine.
"Great, if that’s the case, let’s discuss the steps of the action," Ye Zhen said joyfully.
A hundred breaths later, a very weak divine soul wave probed out from the upper void, swiftly vanishing into Yuann Hongying’s head.
Entirely focused on refining and collecting the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, Yuann Hongying didn’t notice the very weak divine soul wave.
He only noticed a sudden brilliance as he was refining and collecting the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, causing its refining progress to suddenly accelerate.
However, the All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Light initiated by Ling Qianbi, which penetrated into Yuann Hongying’s body, wasn’t noticed by him due to his concentration. Nevertheless, the Five-colored Spirit Night in his Spirit Palace, which protected his Innate Divine Soul, detected it.
Without any obvious movement, the Five-colored Spirit Banner emitted a slight radiance, quickly melting the extremely faint All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Light initiated by Ling Qianbi, like snow sprinkled in hot soup.
Almost simultaneously, the Void-Slaughtering Radiance in Yuann Hongying’s eyes, which was shining brightly, suddenly dimmed.
What astonished Yuann Hongying more was the feeling that the refining progress of the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, which had just surged ahead massively, vanished when the brilliance dimmed.
Instinctively, Yuann Hongying slightly raised his eyelids, looking towards the Void-Slaughtering Radiance in front of him.
As he gazed, Yuann Hongying felt the Void-Slaughtering Radiance shine brilliantly again, with the refining progress surging ahead once more.
Instinctively, Yuann Hongying’s divine sense followed suit.
Then, Yuann Hongying was dumbfounded to find that this Void-Slaughtering Radiance was not so simple....
....
"It’s done!"
The voice of Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou rang in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, and at that moment, Ye Zhen moved.
