Chapter 306: Battle Against Six Powerhouses
This troop of seemingly invincible expeditionary soldiers were, in fact, just energy bodies.
Just like the Underworld Soldiers mentioned in many Huaxia books, it was almost impossible to harm them with ordinary attacks because they were energy bodies.
So weapons and the like couldn't hurt them—only Spiritual Artifacts, these treasures imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, could cause them damage.
But Ye Ling didn't have a Spiritual Artifact. The Godslayer Stone in his hand was incredibly defiant of the heavens, but it wasn't a Spiritual Artifact.
Even so, Ye Ling was far from helpless. His Nine Nether Emperor Technique could devour everything. These unstoppable expeditionary soldiers were like fertilizer, nourishing Ye Ling.
Whoosh, Ye Ling moved, and his palms suddenly struck out, unleashing a torrent of powerful forces like a landslide, thunderously hitting out.
And within Ye Ling's palms, a terrifying miniature black hole unexpectedly appeared, spinning rapidly, generating a fearsome attractive force. The bodies of the expeditionary soldiers froze in shock, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on their expressionless faces.
Whoosh, a soldier's body suddenly flew up, frantically flying towards the palm of Ye Ling's hand, directly devoured by his Nine Nether Emperor Technique, his body then transforming into a stream of pure Spiritual Power, which nourished Ye Ling in return.
"No! Stop him!"
An Archbishop in red suddenly changed color, wildly charging towards Ye Ling, and the other four Archbishops in red moved as well, including the Army Commander who'd just been brutally beaten by Ye Ling.
Five powerhouses, with the Army Commander being a half step from transcending Tribulation, and the five red-dressed Archbishops all with the Cultivation of Golden Core peak, their combined force was terrifying beyond limits.
Ye Ling sneered, his body shaking, his face ferocious, and suddenly he let out a great roar to the sky. A terrible black fog began to emanate from the surface of his body.
The fog drifted, enveloping endlessly, containing death and destruction within it.
"Nine Nether Emperor Technique, devour for me!"
Boom, the black fog completely enveloped Ye Ling, and the boundless fog rose wildly. The moment the black fog burst forth, the expeditionary soldiers formed of Divine Power were instantly sucked in by a terrifying force.
"Ah!"
All the expeditionary soldiers let out a wild roar, just like a dragon absorbing water, with Ye Ling being the dragon and they the water, turning into streams of pure Divine Power, directly absorbed by Ye Ling.
Hum, Ye Ling's body trembled, with this terrifying Divine Power being absorbed, pushing his Cultivation up once more, already nearing the condensation of the eighth Golden Core.
Boom!
With a snap, the black fog around Ye Ling's body instantly shattered, and he stood in place, his face sinister, the corners of his mouth lifting in a cruel smile.
Thump thump thump, the six powerhouses had already reached Ye Ling's side.
The Army Commander's long spear, like a massive dragon, directly struck Ye Ling's body, the immense force making Ye Ling's body shake, but he did not retreat a step.
In the next moment, the five Archbishops attacked Ye Ling's body like crazy, their palms slamming down like thunder, containing the breath of destruction, and the surging Divine Power flowed.
Crackling, Ye Ling's body was instantaneously surrounded by blinding divine light, with the five Archbishops roaring, and the Divine Power inside them burning fiercely.
"Die! Heretic, you must face the punishment of the gods!"
The five Archbishops, as if mad, bombarded Ye Ling with their palms, and yet Ye Ling's body remained immovably stable, their Divine Power bursting and burning wildly, aiming to completely destroy Ye Ling.
And the Army Commander was also fiercely burning his rolling Spiritual Power, the long spear in his hand emanating a sky-high divine light.
Amidst the vast divine light, there were specks of blood-red color. On the long spear, the mottled blood glow was dazzling, very striking.
"No! Ye Ling!"
Seeing this, Alice screamed frantically, tears flying. She knew all too well how terrifying these six powerhouses were. Could Ye Ling withstand them?
She suddenly lost all confidence, but the attacks from the six powerhouses had already bombarded Ye Ling's body.
"Extinction Golden Body, through all disasters and tribulations, shatter for me!"
Suddenly, Ye Ling, who was under attack, let out a fierce yell and his body shook violently as a terrifying aura burst forth, sending the six powerhouses flying.
Thud, thud, the six powerhouses, like kites with broken strings, fell back and crashed to the ground, spewing fresh blood, their faces pale as paper.
"Now that you've had your turn, is it my turn yet?"
Ye Ling's gaze swept across, and he let out a cold laugh, while behind him a deadly killing intent rose like monstrous waves that never ceased.
Standing in front of the grand hall, the Pope actually couldn't help but take a step back, his expression grave. This young man's strength was too powerful; he likely wasn't a match for him.
At this moment, Ye Ling had already charged out, his palms striking crazily, and a terrifying force exploded instantaneously like a bomb.
Bang, an Archbishop in red was slapped away, his chest cavity exploded, blood spraying into the air and forming a mist.
Ye Ling moved again, with three muffled sounds, thud, thud, thud, three Archbishops in red uncontrollably flew into the air, manipulated by an invincible force.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling simply stood there, sneering as he looked at the Pope, challenging him, telling the Pope that he feared him not!
Hum, Ye Ling suddenly clenched his fist and the three Archbishops in mid-air shook, their chests cracking explosively, creating immense lethal force.
Bang, bang, bang, the bodies of the Archbishops softened, they fell to the ground, vomiting fresh blood, and passed out.
"Pope! Come! Fight me!"
Ye Ling roared wildly, as if possessed, while the remaining Archbishop in red and the Army Commander struggled to their feet, their eyes burning with ferocity.
"You still dare to be arrogant?"
Ye Ling suddenly turned around, his arms shot out, and with a pull, the two powerhouses, without any resistance, were drawn right by Ye Ling's side.
The immense force rendered them completely unable to move, and Ye Ling sneered.
Thud, thud, with a violent shake of his palms, the two powerhouses felt an unrivaled force bombarding their bodies.
Their eyes rolled back and they fell powerlessly to the ground. Ye Ling lowered his hands, giving a cold smile.
"Now that the trash has been taken care of, isn't it your turn to make a move, you old timer?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly and walked toward the Pope, whose facial expression remained unchanged. Seeing Ye Ling walking toward him, he slightly shook his head and then began to smile.
"Young man, you are quite impressive. If you believed in the Divine Spirit, I would relinquish the position of Pope to you."
The Pope chuckled, but upon hearing this, Ye Ling completely lost his temper.
"Bullshit! Old fart, come down and face your death! Your temple is too small to contain me!"
Ye Ling shouted loudly, his steps thundering as he charged towards the Pope, moving so quickly that he was beside the Pope in the blink of an eye.
Thump, Ye Ling stomped forcefully, his body soaring up mightily, his fist clenched tight, his arm pulling back hard, and then he furiously bombarded the Pope.
Spiritual Power surged like waves, the force of his punch sharp as a knife, but the Pope merely smiled lightly, waving the Divine Staff in his hand, and a barrier of Divine Power materialized in front of him.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed as the barrier shattered, and in Ye Ling's eyes, a Divine Staff appeared, smashing toward him, growing larger and larger.
