Sealing all three souls.
Denglong had gone to great lengths to reunite the three pieces of his soul. Now Ye Zichen was trying to seperate them once more, then use his own soul to seal Denglongâs primary soul while his artifact spirits sealed his secondary souls.
At its core, this sort of method meant mutual destruction.
âInsane! Youâve gone insane!â Denglong scurried away, shouting as if heâd gone mad. Heâd thought of countless methods Ye Zichen might use against him but he never would have guessed Ye Zichen would resort to such extreme measures.
More importantly, where on earth had he learned this sort of black magic?!
âSoul Extraction! Seal!â
When this chant reached Denglongâs ears, it was like a soul-stealing demon urging him towards destruction, Despite all the effort heâd put into reuniting his souls, they started struggling relently. He concentrated, giving everything he had to recondense them, only to discover that one of his three souls still had its own awareness. Worse, it was helping Ye Zichen separate his souls.
âHouqing!â
There was no need to even wonder; this self-aware soul undoubtedly belonged to Houqing.
âHmph, Jiangchen, youâre surprised, arenât you? You put all that work into condensing your souls but in the end, theyâll still wind up separated. You were soulless earlier. Now, though, youâve completely occupied Yinggouâs soul, so just enjoy being sealed for all eternity.â
With that, the portion of his soul containing Houqingâs awareness left of its own volition. Denglong had been trying his hardest to keep his soul together, but as soon as Houqing separated himself, it collapsed.
âHouqing, youâre seeking death!â As Houqing and Hanbaâs souls separated, Denglongâs remaining soul trembled violently and let out a thunderous roar.
Denglong seemed to have gone mad. Houqing laughed coldly but paid him no heed. He simply faced Xuan-yuan Xiang and made no attempt to resist capture. Then he glanced back at Denglong and said, âthatâs one soul sealed.â
Xuan-yuan Xiang smiled flatly, then transformed into shackles and bound Houqingâs soul. Tenner immediately followed suit, turning himself into chains and binding Hanba.
It was far to say the distant onlookers in Dragon City were completely baffled. All they saw was Ye Zichen appear as a soul body, followed by his artifact spirits.
Then they saw Denglongâs soul flee with all his might as if heâd gone insane, shouting all the while about how Ye Zichen had gone mad, and Ye Zichenâs artifact spirits chasing madly after him, intent on his capture.
After that, they saw Denglongâs soul split into thirds, his voice filled with endless fury as the two artifact spirits each sealed a severed portion of his soul.
They couldnât understand just what this series of events meant. Then, at that moment, the White Emperorâs gaze frosted over. âDividing Denglongâs soul into thirds, then artifact spiritsâ and Emperor Yeâs soulsâŠ.. This is bad! Heâs planning to use his and his divine weaponsâ artifact spiritsâ souls to seal Denglong!â
Everyone watching from Dragon City instantly froze up. Moment later, undisguised astonishment appeared on their faces.
âWhat!?â the crowd exclaimed. At the same time, countless beams of light took the skies and hurtled towards Ye Zichen and Denglongâs soul bodies.
Su Yan, Zuo Mo, Li Jiayi, Lu Lu, Lilâ White, Yin Shang, Zhuge KongmingâŠ..
None of them hesitated at all; everyone familiar with Ye Zichen frantically took to the skies.
âZichen, Iâve already lost far too much. I canât lose you too.â
Su Yan bit her lip nervously. Looking closely, you could vaguely discern tears glistening in her eyes. Su Yiyun was dead, and Xia Keke too. This war had truly cost her far too much. She couldnât let Ye ZichenâŠ...
She didnât even dare think about it. All she could do now was rush to Ye Zichenâs side as fast as she could and stop him.
âYouâre the chosen emperor of heaven. Donât do anything stupid.â Yin Shang gnashed his teeth.
âDidnât you say you were going to take me back to the Modern Realm? You can't break your promise!â Li Jiayi bit her lip as well.
It wasnât just them. Even Gu Zichen, hidden high up in the sky, was frantic. He couldnât stay out of this any longer. He couldnât let this continue.
Countless beams of brilliant light gathered around Ye Zichen. They only had one goalâŠ..
Stopping him!
âDammit! Dammit!â
Denglong roared in fury so intense, it set the entire sky ablaze. He watched helplessly as Hanba and Houqingâs souls were sealed, grit his teeth, and turned as if about to flee.
At that moment, he heard an incantation rise up from the very depths of his soul. âStop!â
He could no longer control his own movements; his soul froze in place.
A gentle breeze swept by. Moments later, he saw Ye Zichen appear before him in soul form.
âYe Zichen, impressive! Youâve got guts!â he said through gritted teeth, so furious he longed to grind Ye Zichenâs bones to ash and scatter them to the winds.
âBack then, Nuwa only split my soul in thirds. Not even she dared use her own soul to seal me. Emperor Ye, Iâll call you Emperor Ye out of respect for your courage, but I donât understand. You have such a great future ahead of you, yet youâd use your own body as a cage to seal me? Is that worth it? If Iâm sealed, wonât you be the same way? Iâll still be able to leave once your soul perishes. Do you really think this is worth it?â
By now, Denglong no longer even considered begging for mercy. Ye Zichen was determined to seal him. Denglong didnât believe someone capable of making such a choice could be swayed so easily. Besides, having his soul sealed only meant temporary imprisonment. When Ye Zichenâs soul crumbled, he could break through his bonds.
âWhy wouldnât it be? I think this is totally worth it!â
Ye Zichenâs reply left no room for doubt. He didnât explain himself at all, but his silence was already the best possible explanation. Looking into his eyes, there was no sign of fear or hesitation. Heâd already steeled himself to do this.
Looking into his eyes, Denglong nodded his head solemnly.
By now, there was no longer any need to say anything. Ye Zichen was even willing to use his own soul to seal him...
He submitted!
Ye Zichen stood before him, his soul gradually transforming into chains. Denglong didnât resist at all. Rather, he had no way of resisting. He obediently lowered his head and drew in his spiritual power, allowing the chains to bind his soul.
âDonât do itâ
âStay your hand!â
âDonâtâŠ..â
Countless agitated shouts filled the air. Ye Zichen, now a set of chains, looked back and saw their worried faces and heard their frantic cries.
âLetâs go.â
Xuan-yuan Xiang and Tenner nodded, then returned to their respective divine artifacts, which then shot off into the distance as two beams of brilliant light and disappeared. If things went as expected, theyâd hide forever in some corner of the world, sealing Denglongâs soul for all eternity.
After a brief pause, Ye Zichen smiled gently at them. Finally, he fused with the final portion of Denglongâs soul. There was a loud boom as he disappeared from his friendsâ line of sight.
When the group rushing towards Ye Zichen saw him disappear, they instantly stopped. Ye Zichenâs final transmission, the one he sent immediately before transforming fully into chains, echoed through their minds.
âFarewell!â
