True Martial World
Chapter 1682: Soul Search

Unbeknown to the conversing Jiang Lichen and Sanguine Ax, a perception had already projected into this independent world.

With Yi Yun's present realm and nomological insight, there was no independent space he could not find.

Yi Yun naturally saw the Blood King and even into the inside of his body, where he was surprised to sense an inchoate demonic servant.

The inchoate demonic servant was still in gestation while it siphoned the Blood King's powers.

The demonic servant's bloodline was extremely powerful. If it devoured the Blood King before completing its gestation, it would probably possess strength at the Fey Thearch level.

Had the Celestials become that overbearing? To use a Godly Monarch level figure of another race to gestate a demonic servant?

"Yi Yun, the Blood King has been sealed within the array formation. Furthermore, there are restraints on him. The moment you touch the Blood King, you will immediately trigger the array formation. Furthermore, the Ancestor God will be informed."

The Blood King was a trap which Sanguine Ax had set up in wait for Yi Yun.

However, Yi Yun thought nothing of it as he said, "No, the only person that I'm afraid of in the Chaos Heavens is the Ancestor God. This array formation was not set up by the Ancestor God after all. The person who is really torturing the Blood King is Sanguine Ax and this array formation is likely a product of the Celestial heritage.

Yi Yun's guess was right. The array formation in the Extreme Hell was indeed an ancient demon suppression array Sanguine Ax had taken from the Celestials.

From Sanguine Ax's point of view, this array was extremely impressive. The land of Celestial heritage was only an enhanced version of the same demon suppression array.

Even if the demon suppression array was unable to suppress Yi Yun, it had to be able to trap him for a moment. That was enough time for him to inform the Ancestor God of Yi Yun's appearance.

Yi Yun silently probed the demon suppression array in the Extreme Hell.

As he stood at the height of the Heavenly Dao, nothing could hide from him. Slowly, Yi Yun could see through everything within the array formation.

The corners of his lips suffused a sliver of killing intent. "I'm increasingly certain of my previous guess. The Ancestor God is plotting something. As for the other upper echelons of the Celestials… They believe me to be prey, but I'm actually the hunter!"

As Yi Yun spoke, he gently waved his hand. The surrounding nomological space instantly changed. He tore open a brand new space out of the Extreme Hell.

At that moment, Sanguine Ax was still conversing with Jiang Lichen when they suddenly felt the scene around them change. It left them alarmed!

The flesh-and-blood marsh vanished, as well as the boulders covered in thick bone powdered. They were standing in a pitch dark space and standing before them was a single person!

Even Sanguine Ax and Jiang Lichen were unable to react in time towards such a sudden unexpected change. With their strength, how could they be transported by someone else without them realizing it?

"You… You are Yi Yun!?"

Sanguine Ax widened his eyes as his heart palpitated.

How was it possible? There was a trap laid in the Extreme Hell; yet, Yi Yun had abducted both them both as though it was an unguarded space. Had the demon suppressing array lost its effect?

Sanguine Ax believed that he already had a high estimate of Yi Yun, but he never expected him to reach such a powerful state. It was completely unreasonable.

With a thought, a token appeared in his hand.

This was the Ancestor God Token, and sealed within was one of the Ancestor God's spiritual avatars.

As long as the spiritual avatar was activated, the Ancestor God would immediately sense the area. When that happened, Yi Yun was doomed.

However, the moment the Ancestor God Token was taken out, Sanguine Ax suddenly felt a crushing pressure extend towards him. Purple lightning and black flames were conjured out of thin air and bore into Sanguine Ax's body like venomous snakes.

The lightning and flames permeated every inch of his flesh and went deep into his meridians.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Sanguine Ax's body resisted vehemently, but the strength of the lightning and fire was just too potent. It instantly obliterated the divine strength within Sanguine Ax's body.

At that moment, he felt that just a slight motion would cause the terrifying powers within his body to explode and turn him to ash.

Instantly, Sanguine Ax broke out into cold sweat.

He had planned on using the demon suppression array to stall Yi Yun while he activated the Ancestor God Token, but in fact, the demon suppression array was completely useless as it was instantly taken down.

Despite being a high and mighty divine general, he wasn't even able to trigger the Ancestor God Token in time.

The difference in strength left him in despair.

"Sanguine Ax, you were not my match a hundred years ago in the Xuanyuan Dune, much less now…"

As Yi Yun spoke, he walked towards Sanguine Ax and under his intense gaze, casually took away the Ancestor God Token.

And standing beside Sanguine Ax, Jiang Lichen's hands were clammy with sweat. Logically speaking, Yi Yun's strength should have reached a bottleneck if he did not break through to the Godly Monarch realm. Although his strength might be slightly higher than a hundred years ago, it wouldn't be that obvious.

But now, Yi Yun's strength was a lot higher than back when he slew the Luo King.

The root of the problem was that Yi Yun's cultivation level had risen too quickly previously. It did not have the time to consolidate.

After a hundred years, Yi Yun spared no cost to expend all the resources the Luo King and Ghost Doctor had left behind. Together with the Myriad Form Shura Pills, it made his foundation extremely robust. He was then able to fully express his nomological insights and lifeblood powers.

With the Ancestor God Token in hand, Yi Yun sensed the terrifying aura contained within it without any probing.

If Sanguine Ax had triggered the token, things would have been troublesome.

He casually produced a seal and sealed the Ancestor God Token.

Immediately following that, Yi Yun suddenly appeared in front of Sanguine Ax and threw out a punch.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yi Yun's fists rained down on Sanguine Ax's body, and each punch shattered his bones as his body ruptured with sprays of blood.

In just an instant, Sanguine Ax was covered in blood. The core divine patterns in his body had been brutally destroyed by Yi Yun.

Sanguine Ax spat out large mouthfuls of dark golden blood as his massive body flew backward and crashed heavily into the ground.

At that instant, Sanguine Ax was ashen. He knew that his divine body had been crippled by Yi Yun.

"You managed to escape back in the Xuanyuan Dune. You would have been fine if you had stayed hidden. Yet, you had to court death by returning. In that case, let me gather some information regarding the Ancestor God from you."

As Yi Yun spoke, he pressed down at Sanguine Ax's glabella with one hand as mental powers surged into his head like a tide.

Sanguine Ax's body quivered as his soul sea felt excruciating pain.

His soul was being searched by Yi Yun.

If he were a human or Fey warrior, such a violent way of soul searching would have scattered his soul. However, the Celestials were abnormally talented, allowing him to withstand the soul search.

As such, Yi Yun was able to easily read all his memories regarding the Ancestor God.
