Chapter 557: Wu Hun
She wore a dazzling golden helmet atop her head, covering her cheeks, and the crowd still could not make out her face.
"Interesting, truly interesting. You dare to wield a spear before this young master?" Qinchuan looked at the mysterious woman and said with a faint smile.
The eyes of the Golden Armored Valkyrie burst forth with intense, blazing light.
She was aloof to the extreme, saying indifferently, "Enough talk, prepare to die!"
The Valkyrie, striking and heroic, shone brilliantly in her golden armor, a majestic aura enveloping her. Terrifying Great Dao Rune Patterns revolved around her, forming a Silver Moon Disc behind her head, which, under its soft silver glow, made her appear even more otherworldly.
"Boom!"
She resolutely attacked, her delicate hands sweeping continuously, her long spear slashing diagonally. She was like an ancient deity, beautiful beyond compare in this moment.
Qinchuan raised an eyebrow; he was not the least bit careless. His body surged with powerful divine strength as he furiously battled the mysterious woman.
Both wielded long spears, and as their overwhelming divine powers clashed in the void, constant booming ensued.
The world seemed to completely upend as the sea roiled and surged, the tumultuous waves crashing down and engulfing everyone.
The Valkyrie's divine power was colossal, endless, while Qinchuan, like an Asura bursting forth from Purgatory, fought fiercely against her, the area filled with terrifying divine light and spear energy, wild and frenzied.
Both trembled simultaneously, a terrifying shudder.
Qinchuan was ferocious and domineering, the Chi Yue Spear swinging like relentless mountains pressing down on his opponent, violently. The Valkyrie was no less outstanding, her Divine Skills coming forth in full force, her mana boundless. With each sweep of her golden long spear, she carried terrifying golden air waves, like the vast ocean, whipping up violent waves and crashing tumultuously onto the shore.
In just a few moments, the two had fought from above the island down to the seabed, each thrusting their spears, countless Long Spear Divine Powers flung recklessly. The furious divine energies stirred up the entire seabed world, tearing apart many innocent Sea Clan beasts into fragments.
Once again, they ascended from the depths to clash in the void.
"Whoosh!"
Qinchuan thrust his spear, the fierce energy surging and tumbling. At the same time, a Divine Lamp appeared in his hand, and he blew a breath of Essence Qi into it.
The flames on the lamp fluttered, and with the breath of Essence Qi, they morphed into a fire dragon, its teeth and claws bared, charging towards the opponent.
This Divine Lamp was a Divine Artifact, and more specifically, a magic artifact of the soul, the fire dragon directly assailing the opponent's divine soul.
The fire dragon's body burned with raging Soul Flames, letting out dragon roars and screeches as it headed straight for the Valkyrie's forehead.
Strangely, the Valkyrie seemed not to see this terrifying soul attack at all. Facing the surging fire dragon, she paid no heed, as if oblivious to its existence.
"Buzz!" The fire dragon met no resistance at all and instantly surged into the Valkyrie's forehead.
"Hmm?"
Qinchuan's eyebrow twitched, looking at the Valkyrie in disbelief.
This Art of the Divine Soul was incredibly horrifying, yet the Valkyrie did not seem to fear it. What startled Qinchuan even more was that after the Divine Soul Fire Dragon entered the Valkyrie's forehead, she showed no sign of being affected at all.
She appeared to be... as if she had no divine soul at all.
"How is this possible? The Divine Soul Emperor Art failed again?"
Surprise flickered through Qinchuan's eyes as he had gone through reincarnation, and the Emperor Soul Art was one of his greatest achievements.
Yet now, for the second time in a row, his Emperor Soul had been thwarted.
At this moment, the Emperor Soul within Qinchuan's Divine Sense opened its eyes, bursting forth with blazing light. Divine light shot from Qinchuan's eyes, shining upon the body of the Valkyrie.
"What?"
The next moment, Qinchuan exclaimed, "You... you don't have a spirit or a soul?"
Qinchuan was shocked, his face bearing an expression of incredulity.
He discovered that beneath the body of this impressive and heroic Valkyrie, she actually had no soul.
When a cultivator's physical body breaks down, their True Spirit and Soul doesn't necessarily die off; but if one's divine soul is shattered, they are assuredly dead.
How could this person not have a divine soul?
"Without a soul, could she be just a walking corpse?"
Qinchuan suddenly thought of the ancient Divine Corpse within the space on his body.
This corpse had also long been dead, its Soul had shattered, and yet with the Divine Clan Essence Blood within his body, after breaking the Seal, it had been lively and active for so long.
Could it be that she, too, was like the Divine Corpse, already just a dead body?
Qinchuan's eyes flickered with light. The Valkyrie was wrapped tightly in her Golden Armor, her skin not visible, only her delicate jade hands, which were like tender lotus roots, could be seen. How could that resemble a corpse?
At this moment, he finally understood why this woman was always so aloof. Besides caring for the Spiritual Pearl, she was indifferent to everything else. Without a Soul, she naturally lacked the seven emotions and six desires.
"Soul?"
The Valkyrie's eyes briefly showed a hint of doubt as she murmured, "Soul, what Soul?"
But she quickly recovered, thrusting her spear again with overwhelming Divine Power and using her Divine Skills.
Her goal was the Spiritual Pearl.
"Truly troublesome." Without a spirit and soul, Qinchuan's powerful Soul Secret Technique couldn't cause her the slightest harm.
Qinchuan said nothing more. With the opponent lacking a soul, she was like a walking corpse. Whatever Qinchuan said was meaningless.
She would not listen.
"At this point, the only option is to subdue you!"
Qinchuan made his move, his Long Spear like a dragon, still aggressive and domineering.
In that moment, his Divine Power surged to the sky, his every action exuding a terrify Divine Power aura, like a demon or Asura.
A bloodthirsty intent surged from his body, dyeing the world a sanguine hue.
This was the aura of an Asura, with an air of supreme arrogance.
Qinchuan thrust his Long Spear, and the Chi Yue Spear kept colliding with the golden spear, sending out streaks of divine light, and Great Dao Rune Patterns bloomed like flames, illuminating the heavens and earth.
"Long Spear, Heavens!"
The Valkyrie uttered these four words softly.
Qinchuan frowned, a look of surprise and shock reappearing on his face. Even though he knew she wouldn't answer, he still asked loudly.
"Heavens, why do you know this technique?"
The Valkyrie pointed her Long Spear toward the sky, and at the tip of the spear, terrifying Great Dao Rune Patterns formed a golden Divine Pillar that soared to the heavens, piercing through the clouds, an appalling and fearsome sight.
Qinchuan too pointed his Chi Yue Spear to the sky, executing the same move as the Valkyrie, but his was a purple Divine Pillar.
"This is a technique I created a million years ago. How do you know it?"
The Heavens Divine Power was overwhelming, and the two terrifying Divine Pillars collided.
"Boom!"
The earth and sky trembled, the vast ocean shook.
A terrifying roar that shocked the world erupted, and the golden Divine Pillar completely shattered, and the purple Spear Energy ruthlessly overwhelmed the other.
"Suppress!"
Qinchuan swiftly charged forward, his Long Spear stabbing towards the Valkyrie's chest.
The remnants of the purple Spear Energy surged wildly, sending the Valkyrie's body flying backward.
The imposing aura of Dao Magic rampant and untamed, assaulted the Golden Armor on the Valkyrie.
Unable to withstand the terrifying aura of her Divine Power, her Golden Armor burst open with a bang.
The Valkyrie's helmet shattered, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
