Chapter 2339: Chapter 2340: The Mark Shows Its Might! (Midnight Third Update)

Di Yan, like a god emperor from the heavens, observed Ye Qiu whose soul was beginning to collapse.

"All struggles are futile, countless members of the Dugu clan have died by my hand, not just hundreds, many of them were geniuses like you."

’However, geniuses remain merely geniuses. As long as they haven’t become true strong warriors, they can’t escape the fate of being killed. You are the same.

Di Yan said slowly, as Ye Qiu’s soul power disappeared by half in the blink of an eye.

Yet this rapid disappearance of soul power astonishingly allowed Ye Qiu to gradually regain consciousness, breaking free from the malicious intent’s erosion, restoring his sanity.

"Sizzling, rare, rare indeed. I thought you would die muddle-headed like this, but you woke up. Well, that’s good too. Your senses will be more sensitive, enjoy the feeling of death."

Di Yan laughed heartily.

After regaining consciousness, Ye Qiu found his soul power still continuously waning, which made his heart tremble.

Soon, he discovered that Di Yan’s soul attack was obliterating his soul.

On the spot, Ye Qiu couldn’t afford to think much. If it kept going like this, his soul would completely dissipate.

With a shift of mind, Ye Qiu activated the Gates of Six Paths.

Swish.

A skeletal hand reached out, but instead of grasping towards Di Yan, it grabbed the soul orb pushed out by Di Yan, directly dragging it into the Gates of Six Paths, allowing Ye Qiu to breathe a sigh of relief.

Di Yan, who originally thought Ye Qiu would gradually perish, found his soul attack swallowed by the Gates of Six Paths, momentarily surprised.

"Interesting, is this the method created by that young boy Ge Tian? Surprisingly effective against my soul attack." Di Yan wasn’t fearful; instead, he showed some interest.

The skeletal hand attacked again, this time targeting Di Yan himself.

"Hmph, it’s merely a method from the heaven level, and you think you can deal with me, boy, you are too naive." Di Yan said indifferently.

Given his status and position, he indeed had the right to say this. Ge Tian was considered his junior, and when Di Yan made his name, Ge Tian hadn’t yet become a sage, naturally qualifying him to overlook the later strong ones.

Facing Di Yan’s superior and all-defying attitude, Ye Qiu said nothing.

The skeletal hand grasped abruptly, striking nothing but air, as expected by Ye Qiu. The Gates of Six Paths were best used for sneak attacks, facing an opponent directly was a major flaw, if the opponent is fast enough, it often results in wasted effort, just like now!

"Your attacks are useless against me, accept your fate." Di Yan said calmly, his figure flickering uncertainly, making it difficult for the skeletal hand to catch him.

"I, Ye Fentian, never accept fate." Ye Qiu replied. His expression changed subtly, and suddenly another hand emerged from the Gates of Six Paths.

This time, two hands reached out to capture Di Yan.

"Hehe, does it make any sense to do this? I just need to be a bit more agile, and you still can’t touch me." Di Yan laughed.

"And now?" Ye Qiu calmly replied with a hint of anticipation. Suddenly, Di Yan’s expression altered, for he discovered an innumerable number of hands emerged from the Gates of Six Paths, like tentacles, able to quickly grasp anywhere he appeared.

Seeing Di Yan troubled, Ye Qiu’s mood brightened significantly. It was quite unexpected for him that the skeletal hands from the Gates of Six Paths multiplied from one to dozens.

This can be traced back to when he stepped into the heavens realm. Before reaching the heavens realm, the Gates of Six Paths could only produce one skeletal hand, but since entering the heaven level, upon trying the Gates of Six Paths again, Ye Qiu found he could summon more skeletal hands.

He realized then, that the Gates of Six Paths required corresponding power to fully unleash its capabilities.

All along, when he used the Gates of Six Paths against enemies, it was just one skeletal hand catching here and there, a major drawback. But now things were different, dozens of hands attacking simultaneously, was like upgrading from a shotgun to artillery.

Di Yan dodged around for a while, finding everywhere shadowed by skeletal hands. Despite his speed, dodging like this was exceedingly annoying.

"Remnants, do you really think I can’t deal with your attacks?" Di Yan didn’t want to continue playing with Ye Qiu, allowing the strength of the Gates of Six Paths, but as long as he wasn’t caught, it posed no threat to him.

"Now, let me show you a real soul attack!"

Di Yan’s expression turned severe, his soul power relentlessly released, transforming into dozens of weapons.

Slash!

Di Yan softly uttered, and those soul-forged weapons fell like a torrential downpour.

Swish swish swish.

Before him, a confrontation ensued between skeletal hands and soul weapons, the battlefield stirred into chaos with ceaseless assaults, both sides engaged in fierce combat.

Some skeletal hands were slashed, or some soul weapons were crushed.

The battle ebbed and flowed.

Facing Di Yan’s soul-powered soul weapons, initially, Ye Qiu managed to fight back, but as time wore on, his soul power began to falter.

Given that he only had half of his soul power upon regaining consciousness, competing against a strong opponent like Di Yan was indeed unlikely to remain evenly matched, hence the emerging flaw of insufficient power.

Di Yan noticed this, and said lightly, "Are you running out of strength?"

Ye Qiu ceased the Gates of Six Paths’ attack, for continuing like this would exhaust him before defeating Di Yan.

Swish.

As the Gates of Six Paths closed, Ye Qiu’s face turned somber, his mind ruminating on ways to break the deadlock. His recent dark turn expended quite a bit of power, being controlled by malevolent intent wasn’t what he expected.

Thankfully, in the end, Di Yan’s attack inadvertently helped him awaken.

Since regaining clarity, he certainly couldn’t strike out blindly as before.

After assessing his power briefly, Ye Qiu let out a bitter smile. Ever since stepping onto the martial path, almost every battle against strong opponents led to such a predicament, with power often scarce, always needing to conserve energy while fighting.

In truth, it wasn’t entirely his fault for having too little power; it’s mainly due to less frequent encounters with martial artists of the same realm, while instead frequently fighting across realms, leading to constant energy depletion.

Yet, acting in such a manner yielded beneficial results, enabling him, at his age, to reach the heavens level, something unattainable by other youthful martial artists of his generation.

As Ye Qiu seemed lost, Di Yan’s laughter echoed, "What’s wrong? Not continuing your attack?"

Ye Qiu raised his head, staring resolutely at Di Yan.

"Since you’re not attacking, I might as well." Di Yan sneered coldly, the hand behind him swung fiercely.

Immediately, Ye Qiu’s heart raced wildly.

Danger.

But by the time he sensed the danger, it was too late for Ye Qiu to react, Di Yan’s attack was too fast.

It was a dagger, entirely pitch-black without any sheen.

Ye Qiu disregarded everything, exerting all his soul power to block the dagger.

Yet the dagger pierced through unimpeded, as if encountering no obstacle.

Di Yan laughed, "This is a true soul weapon, not like the ones I previously condensed with soul power. Trying to block it is sheer wishful thinking."

At this moment, the black soul weapon dagger was already before Ye Qiu, poised to pierce through his soul.

The breath of death instantly enveloped Ye Qiu.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt a burning sensation at his brow, a force beyond his control burst forth from his brow.
