Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446 - 1431: Inherited Divine Messenger

Yiz Lie fired six consecutive arrows, although he pulverized Ye Zhen’s six illusory bodies simultaneously, the blood light condensed on the Holy Spirit Peak behind him had become extremely thin.

Not only the blood light on the Holy Spirit Peak, but also the blood light within Yiz Lie, the battle spirit of the Barbarian Clan, was nearly exhausted.

From Ye Zhen’s perspective, under the continuous consumption just now, the power Yiz Lie, the battle spirit of the Barbarian Clan, gained from the clan’s sacrifice was nearly depleted.

It’s likely that not even a blood-colored arrow of the previous level could be fired.

"Achou, once this thing’s sacrificial power is completely exhausted, will it fall back into slumber?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Of course, these guys are all fallen beings. They’ve only achieved eternal life as war spirits by using secret techniques to stabilize their remnant souls. But, without a true body, not even their divine soul is more than a wisp containing the origin divine soul. They can’t gather strength and must rely on the power others sacrifice to exert combat power.

Once the sacrificial power is exhausted, they’ll fall into slumber. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ye Zhen prompted.

"Unless the ancient gods they serve awaken and, drawing on their power, they can obtain a creation spirit body to support their actions," Achou explained. "But, the time for those seriously injured ancient gods to awaken is measured in millions of years. Moreover, in a place with damaged heavenly dao, the awakening time will be extended by tens of times.

So essentially, this guy will fall back into slumber once the sacrificial power is exhausted."

"That’s good!"

In the next instant, Ye Zhen unleashed the newly acquired Ancient Fierce Beast, the Nine-Headed Beast. Although this creature posed no threat to the Barbarian Clan battle spirit, it was extremely resilient.

Nine heads, at least Yiz Lie, the battle spirit, needs nine arrows to kill it.

Not to mention nine arrows, even one would force the battle spirit to fall into slumber. Then, Ye Zhen could stop the Southern Barbarian Tribe from sacrificing, and the Holy Spirit Peak would pose no threat to him.

Sure enough, as the Nine-Headed Beast flew out with its nine heads raised, Yiz Lie hesitated after a glance, not firing immediately but instead looking at the trembling Southern Barbarian Tribe elder in the distance.

"I need more power!"

Upon hearing this, the Southern Barbarian Tribe elder emitted the eerie shriek from before, summoning tribesmen to guard the ancestor spirit, sacrificing with their lives once more.

However, the problem was that the area within five miles of the Holy Spirit Peak was filled with void crevasses blasted open by Yiz Lie. Those crevasses were difficult to merge.

Even under Yiz Lie’s suppression, the area within five miles was not an approachable place for Barbarian Warriors without Soul Sea Realm cultivation.

Furthermore, Ye Zhen would never allow him the opportunity to gain power again!

With a subtle motion of his divine sense, six illusory bodies emerged from the void. This time, they all stared at Yiz Lie, showing no intention to escape.

Yiz Lie’s eyes widened, his gaze flickering with countless power of dao pattern laws, attempting to identify Ye Zhen’s true body among the six illusory bodies, yet he found no flaw.

Even in ancient times, very few could see through illusions veiled by origin mirage qi by the Ancient Mirage Dragon.

Suddenly, a thunder light, red on the outside and black within, blasted from behind one of Ye Zhen’s illusory bodies, and as thunder roared, it struck Yiz Lie.

Initially, Yiz Lie didn’t mind it, but as the light touched him, he exclaimed in shock, "Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, how is this possible?"

In surprise, the remaining blood light within the Holy Spirit Peak surged out, rapidly melting away like snow under boiling water against the divine thunder.

Ye Zhen naturally seized this golden opportunity, three consecutive strikes from the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder echoed, causing Yiz Lie to roar unwillingly as his silhouette dispersed into light spots, a light sphere silently sinking into the Holy Spirit Peak.

Witnessing this, the Southern Barbarian elder released an unbearably wretched cry, mourning while sharply amplifying the eerie shriek commanding tribesmen to sacrifice their lives.

As Yiz Lie re-entered slumber, the void crevasses started closing rapidly, allowing the Barbarian Warriors to run toward the altar once more.

With the Southern Barbarian elder’s eerie shriek, more Southern Barbarian Warriors rushed toward the three hundred sixty stone pillars!

This time, at least six people per pillar!

Ye Zhen frowned slightly in frustration, as the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten flew from his arms, alongside the Nine-Headed Beast, intercepting the Barbarian Warriors.

If they awakened the battle spirit once more, Ye Zhen wasn’t sure if he could handle it.

However, compared to the two thousand Barbarian Warriors, the Nine-Headed Beast and the kitten were hardly sufficient.

In the next instant, Ye Zhen stepped forward, and a circle of emerald light spread in all directions like a halo. Instantly, the trees near the mountains and forests seemed to come alive, turning into tree demons one by one, confronting those Barbarian Clan warriors.

Tens of thousands of tree demons formed a wall, firmly blocking the warriors of the Barbarian Clan who intended to make sacrifices. The Southern Barbarian elder was urgently roaring in anger, his hands releasing hundreds of warning bone talismans.

Ye Zhen quickly communicated with the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou.

"Achou, you said that there is a sleeping Ancient Barbarian God inside this Holy Spirit Peak. By the way, you recognize that Barbarian Clan Battle Spirit, Yiz Lie. Which Ancient Barbarian God does this Battle Spirit serve?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.

"Well..."

Achou was stunned, "Damn it, I can’t remember, that part of my memory happens to be sealed. I only know that Yiz Lie was the strongest Divine Archer of the Barbarian Tribe in ancient times, without a doubt!"

"The strongest Divine Archer of the Barbarian Tribe?" This made Ye Zhen’s heart stir. The Ancient God served by the strongest Divine Archer of the Barbarian Tribe mustn’t be simple, right?

"So, does the sleeping Ancient Barbarian God in this Holy Spirit Peak offer any benefits to me?" Ye Zhen asked again.

The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit was stunned, then jumped onto Ye Zhen’s nose and spat vehemently, "How could there not be any benefit? Every sleeping Ancient God is an invaluable treasure.

Those who break through to the Dao Realm would rush over without hesitation if they knew where an Ancient God was sleeping. If several Dao Realm experts arrived simultaneously, it would immediately result in a world-shattering battle, a fight to the death!

Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by!"

Ye Zhen wiped the saliva off his face and slowly said, "Next time, if this happens again, I’ll cut off your tongue!"

As Achou shivered, Ye Zhen said, "Now tell me, how can I benefit from this sleeping Ancient Barbarian God?"

"Well..."

After pondering for a while, Achou shook its head like a drum, "Damn it, your cultivation is too low. I’ve exhausted my mind and still can’t figure out what benefit you can gain from this sleeping Ancient Barbarian God with your current cultivation!

Would having the Barbarian Clan Battle Spirit serve you count as a benefit?"

"Barely," Ye Zhen replied reluctantly, curling his lips, "How can I make that Barbarian Clan Battle Spirit serve me?"

No matter what, from this moment on, Ye Zhen had already decided to claim this Holy Spirit Peak for himself.

Even if Ye Zhen couldn’t use it now, he had to first get this benefit, coveted even by Dao Realm experts, into his bowl to feel at ease!

"Well...you’ll have to ask them!" The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou pointed to the roaring figures below and countless streams of light rushing over from all directions, "The methods to communicate with the Battle Spirits vary depending on which Ancient God the Barbarian Tribe serves! The only ones who truly know the methods are those guys!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed.

Getting these guys to reveal their worshipping methods and ways to communicate with the Battle Spirits didn’t seem too difficult; a Soul Search might do it.

But looking at their fanatic expressions, who knows what might go wrong during a Soul Search.

The Divine Soul is the most mysterious thing in this world. Even Dao Realm experts don’t dare claim they’ve uncovered all its secrets.

The Heavenly Patrol Department has several training methods whereby even the most ordinary mortal, after a certain period of training, would yield nothing when a Soul Search is forcibly performed.

It was precisely this concern that kept Ye Zhen from ruthlessly slaughtering these Barbarian Clan warriors. It’s all about leaving a way back, to truly obtain the method to communicate with the Barbarian Clan’s Battle Spirits.

But how could he make these Barbarian Elders willingly disclose the method to communicate with the Barbarian Clan’s Battle Spirits?

After contemplating for several breaths, Ye Zhen’s brow relaxed.

To others, this matter might be challenging, but for Ye Zhen, who possessed the Mirage Dragon Pearl, it became exceedingly simple.

A hundred breaths later, as more and more Barbarian Clan warriors rushed over from all sides, two gigantic figures suddenly rose on Holy Spirit Peak.

One was the recently slumbering Barbarian Clan Battle Spirit, Yiz Lie, holding a giant bow. The other was a hundred-meter-tall burly figure with twin horns, resembling the Ancestor God Statue worshipped in the Barbarian Tribe’s Ancestor Hall.

Upon their appearance, the Southern Barbarian Elders and warriors who arrived from all directions were dumbfounded. As a Southern Barbarian Elder suddenly knelt and cried out, declaring the manifestation of the Ancestor God, all the gathered Southern Barbarian Elders and warriors knelt toward the two enormous figures on Holy Spirit Peak.

However, the phantom atop Holy Spirit Peak resembling the Barbarian Ancestor God unexpectedly pointed at Ye Zhen, who stood in the void, "My people, Ye Zhen is the Inherited Divine Messenger I anticipated over a hundred worlds. He will lead you out of the mountains to a life of happiness and fulfillment.

Serve him as you would serve me, for he can shorten my slumber, and he will allow our Barbarian Tribe to regain its glory!"
