[The moment Ye Yu’s words fell, Protector One and Protector Two—who had been lying on the ground—stood up again. Though their wounds were ghastly, they showed no sign of being affected.]
[From the shadows stepped three other Protectors—peak Ancient God Realm.]
[Their power might not match Protectors One and Two, but they could still provide support at the flank.]
[As Ye Yu’s words echoed, the five fearless divine Protectors charged toward Wu Zhen.]
[Divine art light shone to the utmost, dimming the very heavens and earth.]
[Xiao Cui, so as not to let the weakened Zhu Xincheng suffer, immediately bore her to the rear at great speed.]
[But Zhu Xincheng’s gaze instinctively looked toward Ye Yu.]
[She was clearly wondering: why did Ye Yu not retreat?]
[This kind of fight was far beyond him...]
[Wait—when had Ye Yu already become late Golden Divine Realm?]
[Last time they met, hadn’t he been only Heavenly Divine Realm?]
[How in barely a month had he leapt across more than a major realm?]
[What kind of cultivation speed was this?]
[Under the combined assault of the five Protectors, the ghost attendants around them dissolved like ice meeting heat.]
[But Wu Zhen showed no dodge; he charged headlong once more.]
[As he formed a Dao seal with both hands, five ghost-god phantoms instantly appeared behind the five Protectors.]
[Before they could react, those phantoms pushed their withered right hands into their bodies.]
[They snatched out a cluster of pale-blue light and crushed it completely!]
[In an instant, the five Protectors’ divine forms began to petrify, then shattered into powder and dispersed into the air.]
[Wu Zhen had now closed to within roughly ten meters of Ye Yu, disdain in his eyes.]
["I don’t know by what method you control these five corpses, but such frail souls are like porcelain before me—one touch and they break!"]
[Wu Zhen was not boasting.]
[As a ghost god, he excelled at soul attacks, and the Protectors produced by Demon Transformation had incredibly brittle souls.]
[With advantage and disadvantage balanced thus, the fight came easily to him.]
[Wu Zhen walked forward slowly, not even glancing at Ye Yu, and said calmly, "People like you overestimate themselves. If your strength is lacking, why not hide somewhere and cultivate? Why come out to ruin my affair? Do you know—if I'm in a bad mood, you will lose your life!"]
[No sooner had the words fallen than Wu Zhen reached Ye Yu’s side.]
[He slowly raised his hand, preparing to extract Ye Yu’s soul and crush it.]
[Resistance?]
[Frankly, Wu Zhen hadn’t even considered it.]
[A late Golden Divine resisting a Divine Monarch Realm—what a joke!]
[Two major realms apart; just wash the neck and wait to die—why cause a fuss?]
[As Wu Zhen thought, Ye Yu showed no sign of resisting.]
[How clever!]
[A smile spread across Wu Zhen’s face.]
[But just as his hand was about to touch Ye Yu, the scene around them flipped completely.]
[Utter darkness descended and shrouded the world.]
[Wu Zhen frowned.]
["What a naughty brat—just as I was about to praise your cleverness, you go and be so insolent."]
[The ants’ resistance would be utterly meaningless.]
[Wu Zhen snorted coldly and prepared to break the formation.]
[In his view, this must be some array set by Ye Yu, just now activated.]
[But the next second, Wu Zhen began to scream in agony!]
[The darkness was immediately replaced by blinding radiance.]
[The scorching sun seemed to be dragged down before him; the searing light began to burn every inch of his skin.]
[The pain to his bones drove Wu Zhen near to madness.]
[He tried to flee, but he could not escape.]
[The blazing sun’s light had entirely enveloped the place.]
[No divine art or defensive treasure had any effect.]
[Wu Zhen could do nothing but be burned again and again.]
[White smoke rose from his whole body; the ghost-god form began to rot.]
[After half an hour of torment, Wu Zhen’s body had thinned to near nothingness.]
[Finally he fell to his knees and dispersed into smoke.]
[Only then did the scorching light slowly fade.]
[But in the next moment, Wu Zhen invoked his Way—"Ghost Lord Unextinguished!"—and reformed his divine body.]
[Perhaps sensing Wu Zhen’s reappearance, the faint light brightened once more.]
[Seizing the chance, Wu Zhen forced the space open.]
[In an instant he snapped his eyes open.]
[He was astonished to find he was still in place, and Ye Yu stood beside him smirking.]
["Impossible—was that unstoppable force not a formation but an illusion?"]
[No—an illusion it was not!]
[Wu Zhen immediately noticed he had knelt on the ground, and his body bore scorch marks.]
[All of these signs showed that what had occurred was not the sort of ordinary illusion one could dismiss.]
[But none of that mattered any longer!]
[This was no time for such doubts.]
[The most important thing now was to kill the brat before him as quickly as possible!]
[This demon was too demonic!]
[With countless means at his disposal, if he continued like this the first to die would be himself.]
[Though reluctant to admit it, Wu Zhen had already put away his prior contempt.]
[He could not even stand up fully before deciding to slay Ye Yu immediately.]
[With a raised hand, ghost qi erupted and the ground became utterly void.]
[The five ghost-god phantoms reappeared, forming a ring around Ye Yu and each making a move to extract his soul.]
[Wu Zhen’s other hand produced the Ghost King Bell, which he swung violently!]
[All of this happened in a flash.]
[Wu Zhen’s attitude made his intent clear: when a lion wrestled a rabbit, he must fight with full strength!]
[But some things could not be solved by earnestness alone.]
[Ever since entering the God Realm, there had been many battles Ye Yu had not been allowed to intervene in.]
[The reason was simple: realm disparity was a hard constraint.]
[Now, however, Ye Yu had finally broken new ground and gained power.]
[No matter what tricks you unleash, will I cower from your edge?]
[With Ye Yu forming a single-hand Dao seal, everything ended.]
["All beings are equal!"]
