King of Creation-Chapter 1609 - 1594: Day of Revelation
In Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, the nearly two-inch-high Four-colored Yuan Ling is suspended in the center, emitting a faint spirit light. Numerous meridians in the seven spirit pillars within the Spirit Palace are invisibly connected to the Yuan Ling, with countless flashes passing through.
At that instant, Ye Zhen felt that after condensing the Yuan Ling, his control over his physical body and the Spirit Palace had reached a new level. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Of course, it wasn’t that his previous control was incomplete, but now it seemed even more profound.
Each spirit pillar was engraved with countless Dao Patterns, but now, when stimulating each pattern, he could see the details of the spiritual power flow much more clearly.
In this case, Ye Zhen could activate those Dao Patterns with the least amount of force.
In the next moment, with a thought from Ye Zhen, his shoulder shook softly, and a group of Mirage Clones scattered in all directions.
"Eighteen!"
Ye Zhen’s mouth suddenly widened enough to fit a fist.
Previously, his Mirage Clones could at most divide into six avatars, but now, having just condensed the Yuan Ling, the number of Mirage Clones that could be created suddenly tripled!
Triple!
Just imagine, Ye Zhen suddenly conjured up eighteen indistinguishable Mirage Clones; even a Dao Realm expert would have to attack these clones to find Ye Zhen’s true body.
No matter how fast they are, trying to obliterate eighteen Mirage Clones would require time, which would unquestionably buy Ye Zhen precious time.
This is crucial for escaping from top-level experts, and during combat, eighteen Mirage Clones provide interference that is much stronger than with only six.
Moreover, Mirage Clones formed with the Four-colored Yuan Ling are considerably stronger in comprehensive strength compared to those formed with an Innate Divine Soul.
Firstly, Mirage Clones formed with the Yuan Ling, when close enough to Ye Zhen, can achieve speeds up to seventy or even eighty percent of Ye Zhen’s. But those formed with an Innate Divine Soul can only reach fifty percent of Ye Zhen’s speed at best.
At the same time, Mirage Clones formed with an Innate Divine Soul can only travel up to thirty miles away from Ye Zhen. Beyond thirty miles, controlling them like an extension of his arm is impossible.
However, Mirage Clones formed with the Yuan Ling can operate at least within a hundred miles!
Among Ye Zhen’s numerous Divine Power Secret Techniques, the enhancements to Mirage Clones and Xuan Fire Drill are the most discernible; the others require practical combat for testing.
Yet Ye Zhen’s combat power has skyrocketed by at least double, even though his Cultivation hasn’t changed.
Not to mention, under the stimulation of Four-colored Yuan Ling power, the flow speed of spiritual power within Ye Zhen’s body has increased by more than double.
This improvement is a comprehensive, all-around enhancement.
Since the Yuan Ling has just been condensed, Ye Zhen casually retracted the eighteen Mirage Clones and then sat quietly, cross-legged, beginning to refine the Demon Spirit Phantoms just captured by his Demon Soul Army.
The newly condensed Yuan Ling still needs a substantial amount of Divine Soul Power to stabilize.
In the following two months, Ye Zhen continuously nurtured the newly condensed Four-colored Yuan Ling in the Demon Soul Hall.
During these two months, his subordinate Demon Soul Army captured a total of 150,000 Demon Spirit Phantoms for Ye Zhen, primarily low-level demon spirits, which is not a small quantity considering.
Unfortunately, over two months, Ye Zhen’s newly condensed Four-colored Yuan Ling grew exceptionally slowly, with very limited progress.
Two months ago, when it first formed, the Four-colored Yuan Ling was very close to two inches, approximately an inch and nine steps above. Two months later, Ye Zhen’s Four-colored Yuan Ling was barely over two inches.
It’s worth mentioning that when a martial artist forms a Yuan Ling, its strength doesn’t have a clear grade division.
Instead, it is differentiated by Yuan Ling’s quality and size.
A Four-colored Yuan Ling is undoubtedly stronger than a Three-colored Yuan Ling, but a Five-colored Yuan Ling is more powerful than a Four-colored Yuan Ling.
However, a two-meter-high Three-colored Yuan Ling can undoubtedly crush a two-inch-high Four-colored Yuan Ling.
Among the Four-colored Yuan Lings, one that is three inches is certainly stronger than one that is two inches, but a five-inch Yuan Ling’s full-power strike can definitely crush a two-inch Yuan Ling.
Normally, only Dao Realm experts with exceptionally high life spans can possess Yuan Ling over one meter.
Below the Dao Realm, possessing a Yuan Ling already denotes a master.
Like Ling Qianbi, who condensed a Yuan Ling with her Late-stage Dark Palace Realm Cultivation, although her Yuan Ling size was barely three inches.
However, because her Yuan Ling is Five-colored, in a direct Divine Soul Power competition, she can absolutely overwhelm Ye Zhen!
Over two months, under the strong promotion of Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal’s Avatar, the unification progress across the Demon Soul Realm has dramatically improved.
Once Ye Zhen truly condensed the Four-colored Yuan Ling, he dedicated half of his Divine Sense to the Demon Marshal’s Avatar, attacking cities and plundering lands, with the War Soul Blood Flag fluttering everywhere, causing the strength of the entire Black Armored Demon Soul Army to skyrocket.
Just half a month ago, the Black Armored Demon Soul Army attacked the stronghold of the White Armor Demon Soul Army, despite incurring nearly complete casualties, the War Soul Blood Flag almost dropped from supreme suppression artifact status, and the Demon Marshal’s Avatar got injured in the process, they occupied the stronghold of the White Armor Demon Soul Army.
Although the losses were heavy, the gains were incomparably powerful.
In the stronghold of the White Armor Demon Soul Army, more than thirty Demon Souls of the World King Realm were present, with over one thousand Demon Souls of the Dark Palace Realm. As for the Divine Communication Realm Demon Souls, they numbered in the tens of thousands, and below the Divine Communication Realm, there were over 400,000 Demon Souls.
In one battle, they slew seventy percent of them, leading to a surge of masters within the Black Armored Demon Soul Army, and the War Soul Blood Flag got completely filled again.
During the battle, the cultivation of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu respectively broke through to the Realm King Realm, with twenty generals advancing to the Late-stage Dark Palace Realm.
New breakthroughs to Early and Mid-stage Dark Palace Realm among middle and high-ranking generals reached a total of two hundred.
Post-battle, utilizing the energy churning within the War Soul Blood Flag, the Demon Marshal’s Avatar advanced its Cultivation to the Seventh Stage of Realm King Realm.
Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu’s cultivation advanced to the Second Stage of Realm King Realm, while three hundred generals had their cultivation forcibly elevated to the Dark Palace Realm.
As for those outstanding individuals, within an hour, their Cultivation was raised from the Dao Entrance Realm to the Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, there were too many, at least several thousand people.
Unfortunately, not all were annihilated. More than 30% of the White Armor Demon Souls retreated in chaos. To completely eradicate these stragglers, it would take at least half a year.
However, due to limited time, Ye Zhen did not send troops to pursue and annihilate those White Armor Demon Soul stragglers.
After leaving five ten thousand-man armies to sweep separately, he had the Demon Marshal’s Avatar lead the main force to attack the Red Armor Demon Soul’s base camp.
Before Ye Zhen left, he ordered the Demon Marshal’s Avatar to flatten the bases of the other Demon Soul Armies, speeding up the unification process of the Demon Soul Realm.
Ye Zhen estimated that according to his plan, it wouldn’t take five years; in as little as two years, or at most three years, he would surely unify the Demon Soul Realm.
By then, when the entire Ancient Demon God Hall is unified, according to what Golden Flower Demon Lord Jii Hua said, the inheritance of the Ancient Demon God hidden in this Ancient Demon God Hall would appear, wouldn’t it?
Not only the inheritance of the Ancient Demon God, but the mysteries of the War Soul Blood Flag should also be revealed by then.
On that day, Ye Zhen looked forward to it very much.
For a time, the entire Demon Soul Realm was filled with military might, the total number of the Black Armored Demon Soul Army was continuously decreasing, but the overall strength was increasing rapidly.
In the fourth month of Ye Zhen’s time in the Demon Soul Realm, the proportion of officers in the Divine Communication Realm in the entire Black Armored Demon Soul Army had risen from just over 1% when Ye Zhen first arrived to the current 20%!
The number of Martial Artists in the Dark Palace Realm had reached over four thousand since Ye Zhen first came, more than practically negligible before, and the number of generals in the Realm King Realm had reached a whopping forty-seven!
Moreover, the Cultivation of the Demon Marshal’s Avatar had rightfully advanced to the Eighth Stage of the Realm King Realm.
If it weren’t for the War Soul Blood Flag consuming too much energy from ordinary soldiers, the Cultivation of the Demon Marshal’s Avatar advancing to the Ninth Stage of the Realm King Realm would not be a problem.
The only setback was the total number of the Black Armored Demon Soul Army, which had dropped from ninety-five million when Ye Zhen first arrived to the current seventy-one million!
However, the strength of the entire Black Armored Demon Soul Legion had increased several times over.
As for the number of soldiers, as long as there is no large-scale battle loss, breaking through a million is just a matter of time.
On this day, with a thought from Ye Zhen, the Demon Marshal’s Avatar in the Commander Hall issued a military order, and half an hour later, the three commanders of the Black Armored Demon Soul Army, Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, appeared simultaneously in the Commander Hall.
"Greetings, Grand Marshal!"
"Which major bases of the known major armies have yet to be destroyed?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Reporting to Grand Marshal, as of now, among the major armies in the entire Demon Soul Realm, only the main base of the Purple Armor Army is still unconquered!" Hei Er replied.
"The main base of the Purple Armor Army? How long would it take for the army to advance to the main base of the Purple Armor Army?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Reporting to Grand Marshal, it would take nine days!" Hei Er replied.
"Nine days?" Ye Zhen frowned, "And if only the main force advances at full speed?"
"Reporting to Grand Marshal, if only the main force advances lightly, it would take at least six days at best." Hei Qi replied.
"Six days...."
Ye Zhen pondered for a moment, it would take six days to arrive, and after a major battle, conquering it would take at least two days, which is a total of eight days.
Given Ye Zhen’s current time, waiting another three to four days is doable, but over eight days is impossible.
There’s no other choice; considering the four months Ye Zhen has spent in the Ancient Demon God Hall and the month spent tracking and plotting against Yuann Hongying and his group, there’s only a scant month left until the full moon appointment with Yuann Hongying.
Originally, a month’s time was quite ample, but the issue is, upon leaving the Ancient Demon God Hall, the spatial channel randomly teleports those who leave.
Who knows where it might send Ye Zhen.
Even if Ye Zhen is lucky, getting sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then rushing to Five Immortals Island, would take at least ten days to half a month.
If he’s a bit unlucky, it’s hard to say.
Therefore, Ye Zhen must leave now.
Since there’s not enough time, then I’ll leave the final base of the Purple Armor Army to Hei Er and the others for training.
"I’ll leave the main base of the Purple Armor Army to you for training, remember to proceed steadily, aiming to enhance the overall strength of the legion!" Ye Zhen instructed.
"We will be cautious of the Grand Marshal’s orders!"
Glancing at Hei Er and the rest who were half-kneeling on the ground, Ye Zhen spoke again, "In a day or two, I will be leaving the Demon Soul Realm again. I hope that when I return next time, you will have unified the entire Demon Soul Realm!"
"Grand Marshal, we will not let you down!"
"Alright, proceed with your military duties!" Having said that, Ye Zhen looked towards Black Wolf, who was standing by his side, "Black Wolf, come with me!"
The next moment, the Demon Marshal’s Avatar appeared along with Black Wolf where Ye Zhen was in the Demon Soul Hall.
"This is my identity as I travel the Primordial Continent, once you leave here, respect him above all!" The Demon Marshal’s Avatar pointed to Ye Zhen and said.
"Black Wolf pays respects to the Supreme!"
This Black Wolf was extremely ruthless in style, with very strong combat power, yet possessed all the fine qualities of a soldier, which Ye Zhen really appreciated.
Nodding slightly, he gestured for Black Wolf to rise, but his gaze turned towards the vortex channel for leaving the Demon Soul Realm.
Now, it depends on whether Black Wolf can be brought out of the Demon Soul Realm!
