Hearing the words of the evil spirit, Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned serious.
Qin Shi's black eyes were dark and solemn as he looked at the evil aura illusionary figure within the shattered Big Dipper Formation. That illusionary figure did not have a physical face, causing one to be unable to see its appearance. However, it gave off an extremely pressurizing feeling. That feeling was just like … the aura of death.
No matter what, Qin Shi would never have expected that a physical form of Zhe Tian would appear in the 7,000 Sea Palaces.
30,000 years ago, the Human Emperor had used all his strength to destroy Zhe Tian's physical body, scattering his three spiritual and seven physical forms. After tens of thousands of years, the Human Emperor had tried to resurrect Zhe Tian. He had left Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical forms in the host, waiting for the physical body to be reconstructed before retrieving them and resurrecting Zhe Tian.
Qin Shi had known about this a long time ago, or rather, Qin Shi had dealt with Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical forms many times over the years.
Qin Shi already knew that there were four of Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical souls. One of them was in Feng Hen's body, the other was in the Nightless City prince's body, and the last one was in the Sword Sect's Miao 'er's village. Back then, Qin Shi had even exchanged blows with one of Zhe Tian' er's physical souls in the village where Miao 'er was. If not for Fufeng hiding in the dark, he would have likely lost his life at that time.
As for the fourth spiritual form, Qin Shi had only suspected it, but he had never been able to confirm it. It was the fierce wolf that had raised Guo Danyang in the Hundred Races.
Back in the Guo Family of the Hundred Races, Qin Shi had heard the patriarch of the Guo Family mention it. The evil spirit had suspected that the fierce wolf was the host of one of Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical forms. However, Qin Shi had never seen the fierce wolf before, so he could not be sure.
When he'd fought Zhe Tian's soul in the village outside the Sword Sect, Qin Shi was well aware of how terrifying Zhe Tian's soul was. However, it was still far inferior when compared to now. Zhe Tian's soul seemed to have grown even stronger in the last few years.
Qin Shi wasn't sure if this Heaven Covering Soul was one of the four that Qin Shi was familiar with. However, Qin Shi was sure that the power of this Soul was definitely the most terrifying Fiendish Devil power that Qin Shi had ever seen. Even the Third Hall Master of the First Hall was as insignificant as an ant in front of this Soul in the Devil World.
"Is this the power of Sky Covering …?" Qin Shi couldn't help but feel powerless and shocked.
Zhe Tian's soul seems to have reached the peak of its power. Although it doesn't have a fleshly body, it has already surpassed the Transcendence level. Furthermore, it has a mind of its own, which means it can form illusory images. You have to be careful, kid. Even I can't stand up to this power. "
Qin Shi felt powerless again. Even Zhe Tian's soul couldn't stand up to it?
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Although Zhe Tian's soul was intact, it was heavily injured. Moreover, there was the power of the Human Sovereign's seal in its body.
If Qin Shi hadn't been here, perhaps it wouldn't have been like this. However, Zhe Tian had focused all of his energy on Qin Shi over the last ten years. Just as he recovered a bit, he was injured again because of Qin Shi. When Qin Shi went into Devil Mode, Zhe Tian was even more seriously injured.
Zhe Tian, on the other hand, was different. Zhe Tian had the entire Nightmare Squad under his command. Not to mention the fact that the Nightmare Squad was one of the most powerful Immortal Mansions in the world, the Nightmare Squad had existed for tens of thousands of years in this broken continent. No matter how the world changed, the continent changed, the Nightmare Squad was an immortal force that had existed for tens of thousands of years. Now that the Nightmare Squad had used everything they had to resurrect Zhe Tian, it was not surprising that there was such a huge disparity in strength between the two.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi couldn't help but blame himself.
As if seeing Qin Shi's strange expression, Zhe Tian smiled freely, "Little fellow, don't think too much. You don't have to blame yourself. This is all of my own free will. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to break free from the Human Sovereign's seal. Moreover, even without you, Zhe Tian and I would still be irreconcilable. Now that you're bearing this pressure, I'm actually a bit more relaxed. I'm different from Zhe Tian, I don't have as big of an ambition as him. What I want the most now is to see you grow up.
That way, I'll be able to relax. "Qin Shi smiled bitterly, but in his heart, he knew that Zhe Tian was just comforting him.
"Don't worry, your share, the Human Sovereign's share, and my own share, I'll shoulder it all."
Qin Shi said seriously. He and Zhe Tian were now destined to be irreconcilable enemies. Not to mention the Human Sovereign's inheritance and the cultivation of Zhe Tian, just for himself, for Xue Xin, and for the Scar Seal, he had no choice but to become stronger.
Zhe Tian's soul nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhe Tian's soul with a serious expression, "Now, let's think of a way to solve the problem in front of us."
When the seven fiendish demons saw Zhe Tian's soul, their despair turned into ecstasy, and they said excitedly, "Greetings, Demon Sovereign!"
Zhe Tian smiled faintly. At this moment, Long Xu climbed up from the broken mountain in the distance. When he saw Zhe Tian's image, his eyes darkened and became extremely ugly.
"Zhe Tian …!" Long Xu let out a ferocious dragon roar.
"Hehe, Long Xu, I haven't seen you for thirty thousand years, but you're still the same. You're still hovering around Life Realm after thirty thousand years. Looks like you're destined to never step into Life and Death Realm in this lifetime. No wonder. You have the noblest bloodline of the dragon race, but you're still rejected by the dragon race. It's a shame that Human Sovereign thought highly of you and saved you from Long Clan."
Zhe Tian sneered disdainfully. Long Xu struggled in his heart, and his eyes burned with anger. The matter of the dragon race had always been a calamity in his heart.
"Zhe Tian, today, I'll destroy another soul of yours, and make your tens of thousands of years of hard work go down the drain!"
Long Xu roared, and his body turned into a huge dragon with green dragon marks. He was more than three thousand meters long, and his claws shone with a cold light as he slashed at Zhe Tian's soul.
"After tens of thousands of years, you're still as impulsive as ever."
Zhe Tian laughed coldly. Suddenly, he transformed into a gloomy mass of murderous Qi that shot toward Long Xu. Wherever he went, he destroyed all living things. Long Xu's powerful dragon claw was like an illusory object in front of Zhe Tian's soul, and it was as if it were completely useless.
Bang!
Long Xu's body shook violently, and Zhe Tian suddenly appeared in front of Long Xu. His invisible demon claws grabbed Long Xu's shoulder.
Kacha!
The crisp sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out. Long Xu immediately howled in pain. His figure was suddenly struck and sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. The dragon scales on his shoulder were forcibly covered and detached from the dragon skin, revealing a large, bright red wound.
"Grandpa!" Long Ying's eyes narrowed in shock. He leaped up and was about to attack Zhe Tian.
Qin Shi was shocked. He reached out and pressed Long Ying down. "Don't be rash. You're not his match."
"Then what do we do?
Are we going to watch him kill my grandpa? "Long Ying's little face was cold.
Qin Shi looked helpless. At this time, he looked at Zhe Tian's soul strangely. There was something that Qin Shi could not figure out. Why would Zhe Tian's soul appear in the 7,000 Sea Palaces? Logically speaking, with the sky fog around, even Zhe Tian's soul should not have been able to enter. After all, Fufeng's power was definitely enough to threaten Zhe Tian's soul.
Moreover, Zhe Tian was currently in the Great Resurrection Rite. If the soul was really killed, it was very likely that he would never be able to resurrect. Would Zhe Tian risk his life for an unparalleled godly talisman?
Obviously, that was not possible.
The evil devil suddenly said, "For Zhe Tian's soul to appear here without being blocked by the sky fog, there is only one possibility. This soul has always been in the 7,000 Sea Palaces, just like Mingxuan."
Qin Shi was shocked. "You mean to say that Zhe Tian's soul has always been in the 7,000 Sea Palaces?"
The evil devil muttered to himself. Suddenly, his demonic eyes fell on Zhe Tian's void within the coral boundary. He said lightly, "Yes, I think we were wrong from the start. The true goal of the Nightmare Group in the 7,000 Sea Palaces is probably not the unparalleled godly talisman, but the soul of Zhe Tian. This soul of Zhe Tian has probably always been within the coral boundary."
Qin Shi's face darkened. If that was really the case, then not only the Long Clan, but his Qin Palace would also fall.
"However, kid, this soul of Zhe Tian seems to be under some kind of restriction. Look closely." The evil devil suddenly pointed out.
Qin Shi could not help but be taken aback. After Zhe Tian's soul had injured the dragon whiskers, he did not pursue them. Instead, he quickly returned to the Big Dipper Formation, where he remained within the Big Dipper Formation's murderous aura.
Suddenly, the evil devil said, "I know. Although this soul of Zhe Tian has reached its peak, in order to exist independently, it needs a medium. The Big Dipper Formation is the medium for this soul of Zhe Tian. As long as we can dismantle the Big Dipper Formation, this soul of Zhe Tian will definitely be forced back to the Devil World. Otherwise, his soul might very well be destroyed."
The evil devil said, "No wonder the Big Dipper Formation is an extremely complicated formation that requires the power of the stars to connect. The Big Dipper Formation is a medium for this soul of Zhe Tian. It is not to stop us, but to provide the soul of Zhe Tian with a medium."
"In that case, as long as we can destroy the Big Dipper Formation, this soul of Zhe Tian will definitely leave the 7,000 Sea Palace?"
"Yes. To be precise, it must return to the Devil World. I can feel that the full power of this soul is not here. Otherwise, it would definitely be able to reach the Life and Death Realm. Right now, this soul of Zhe Tian is at most at the peak of the Transcending Realm," the evil devil said confidently.
Qin Shi suddenly fell silent. His black eyes flashed sharply as he looked at the Big Dipper Formation.
Qin Shi took a deep breath. But how could it be easy to dismantle the Big Dipper Formation?
If not for the soul of Zhe Tian, perhaps it would be easy. The dragon whiskers had almost shattered it. But now that Zhe Tian's soul was here, it would be difficult for him to make a move.
Suddenly, Qin Shi said in a low voice, "I need time. One hour!"
