Chapter 418: Counterattack of the Soul!
A brand new storm started forming in the depths of Gao Ye’s throat.
But his aversion toward it was clear, too. The nerves and muscle bundles in his mouth were twicthing madly.
However, he could not fight against the Demonic Abyss Eye’s forceful control. He could only let the destructive ultrasound waves charge out with a howl.
Yet this ti, ng Chao used the spirit flas burning around him to form a shield to block off the ultrasound that could crush diamonds. He risked death to stand in front of Gao Ye. Even as he started bleeding from his orifices, he refused to take even half a step back.
“How could this be?” Lu Siya could not believe her eyes.
In the eyes of the Spirit Sensor, Gao Ye’s ultrasound was as fierce as a flood from a dam.
But ng Chao remained like an indestructible reef. No matter how much the flood attacked him, he stood tall and refused to fall.
‘Is it because Gao Ye’s attack is becoming weaker, or is ng Chao’s fighting strength getting stronger?’ The more Lu Siya watched, the more puzzled she beca. ‘It’s like... both elents are present. ng Chao is right again. Gao Ye is indeed becoming more averse to the Demonic Abyss Eye’s control. His soul is climbing up from the depths of the abyss!’
“Professor Gao Ye, give yourself a chance! Give all Dragon Citizens a chance!”
In the beginning, ng Chao’s throat was blocked by blood, and aside from gritting his teeth, he could not utter a single word.
But Gao Ye’s ultrasound attack did not just crush his flesh, nerves, and bones. It also attacked his spirit ridians, which were filled with a lot of spirit energy from the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals.
When the trio ran into the miracle under Raging Waves, ng Chao had absorbed the most spirit energy from the dual spirit energy tsunami.
Based on Lu Siya’s estimations, the spirit energy he absorbed was more than ten tis the amount she and Qin Hu absorbed, which was also more than one hundred tis the amount any of the superhumans on the surface absorbed.
ng Chao had just been a one-star superhuman at that ti, so he was unable to digest such a large amount of spirit energy.
It had then surged into his main ridians and branch ridians. Aside from making him beco a two-star superhuman, most of it clumped between his cells.
He faced the sa problem as Qin Hu. But since his body was unique and he practiced the Ultimate Style, so his branch ridians shared the burden with his main ridians, his spirit energy could circulate in his body. It was the reason why he did not lose his power.
Throughout the year after that, he had used contribution points to improve, and most of the clumped up spirit energy dissolved to strengthen his organs and limbs. It was what helped him reach the peak of Earth Realm so quickly.
But there was still a lot of spirit energy in the corners that was very difficult for normal spirit energy magnetic fields to cultivate. It was like the scales in the corners of pipes.
However, at that mont, ng Chao could clearly sense the clumped up spirit energy falling apart like flowers blooming in spring and lting away like the ice in rivers under the scorching sun. It was like the ice was gradually cracking and showing signs of flowing along with the river again.
Wisps of spirit energy flowed through the torn cracks in his spirit ridians, and as the ultrasound blasted at him, they seeped into his organs, blood vessels, nerves, and even his cells. With the help from the Ultimate Style and his contribution points, it repeatedly refined his body, so countless cells were crushed, gathered together, crushed again, gathered together again. They were refined repeatedly in just a few seconds.
After around a short ten seconds, ng Chao noticed to his shock that he could now talk even while facing Gao Ye’s ultrasound attack!
ng Chao was ecstatic.
“There are plenty of problems in Dragon City today, but there are even more people who are willing to contribute everything they have to solve those problems!” ng Chao swung his fists. “Professor Gao Ye, let’s give each other a chance and work together!
“I know that you have a great deal of distrust for many of the superhumans standing high above us and believe that if the superhumans continue growing stronger, they will impede the interests of the normal people sooner or later.
“I believe that many of your views are not illogical, but mutual interests between superhumans and normal people still far surpass the conflicts. There are also plenty of knowledgeable people in the ga corporations and cultivation families who are willing to build a bright future with us.
“Let’s talk about the person behind . She’s Lu Siya from one of the nine great cultivation families, a third generation of Sky Pillar Corporation. She’s a lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth, lives in a mansion, and is a tall, fair, rich beauty who drives fancy cars.
“She originally didn’t care about normal people, but ever since she started working with , she has been influenced by and has subconsciously reford.
“She has now learned how to look at our ho from another angle and knows that normal people are the earth while superhumans are the trees, that treating normal people kindly is the sa as treating superhumans kindly, and that the concepts of the strong and weak are relative to each other, that no matter how strong a person is, when the apocalypse arrives, it’s impossible for them to run, and other things.
“She’s now fully implenting the ideal that superhumans are the sabers of human civilization and that the strong are supposed to bleed for the weak, along with implenting other ideals. She’s currently contributing whole-heartedly to Dragon City. Big Sis Ya, isn’t that right?!”
“Um...” Lu Siya had a complicated expression on her face. “I’m not. I don’t—”
Before she could finish, ng Chao stopped her.
“I know you didn’t,” ng Chao whispered. “I’m just trying to fill Gao Ye with confidence toward human civilization again!”
“I know where you’re going,” Lu Siya said. “But what you said is too cringe on a physiological level, and I have goosebumps all over my skin now.”
“Don’t bother with the details. At the very least, you saved a father-daughter pair who are strangers to you and are normal people while on your way here, no?” ng Chao said.
“True,” Lu Siya said.
“So I rest my case!” ng Chao looked at Gao Ye again. “Professor Gao Ye, you’ve successfully made many superhumans see the strength that normal people can possess. Now, as long as you can prove that normal people can control this power, I believe that superhumans and normal people will achieve a new balance.
“But if you let your sacred soul continue to be a plaything for this monster, then the project that you’ve spent your entire life working on will be branded as sothing evil. It will be blacklisted and will never see the light of day.
“Think about it carefully. Perhaps the future of Dragon City will be decided by whether the current you is a human or a monster’s weapon!”
The ultrasound storm coming out of Gao Ye, the Ultimate Sandworm, gradually died down.
He seed to have fallen into great puzzlent and conflict.
His great body stiffened, twitched, stretched, and even curled up into a ball.
Even the fangs in his mouth sotis vibrated, spun, and stopped moving abruptly. They were like a malfunctioning tunnel boring machine.
Lu Siya seized the chance to pull the M61-Vulcan on her shoulder.
ng Chao stopped her again.
“Trust ,” ng Chao said with bloodshot eyes. “Give a chance, and give the struggling soul of a human a chance! If you just won’t believe , you can retreat one hundred ters back and wait for behind the collapsed stones.
“If he’s controlled again by the mastermind or anything dangerous happens, I’ll hold back his assault so you can run. You’ll definitely not face any threat to your life!”
Lu Siya stared deeply into ng Chao’s eyes and started thinking carefully.
“Works.” She nodded and ran dozens of ters back until she disappeared behind the collapsed stones.
“... She really ran?”
ng Chao was stunned, then quickly collected himself and turned to face Gao Ye. He clenched his fists and cheered him on while Gao Ye fought ntally.
Gao Ye’s spasms beca worse.
He even threw his head back and started crashing against the walls around him and the stones above his head.
The wounds left by Li Yingzi and Gao Ye had already started healing due to his shocking regeneration abilities and new flesh had grown, but now, it was torn once more, and a large amount of blood and bodily fluids gushed out, which made him shrivel up rapidly.
Gao Ye’s body pulsated, and he let out a thunderous roar. No one could tell whether it was due to pain or pleasure.
It was as if there were two souls stuffed into his body, and they were engaged in a tug-of-war over the control of the body.
ng Chao did not know which side had the upper hand.
Was it the human Gao Ye or the monster Gao Ye?
All he knew was that the dozens of eyes were shining in an increasingly stronger light, and they gradually turned such a piercing shade of red that it was like the burning blood.
Absent-mindedly, ng Chao thought that he saw a blurry human-shaped spirit fla. It was like the soul of a human, which gushed out of the Ultimate Sandworm’s nervous system.
There were layers of ripples around that spirit fla.
They were the ntal chains from the Demonic Abyss Eye.
They were embedded deep into the human-shaped spirit fla.
They looked like they wanted to snap, tear, and destroy Gao Ye’s soul.
This was an incredibly mysterious ntal fight. ng Chao had never heard about anything similar, and he did not know how he could help Gao Ye.
While he nervously wrecked his brains for a plan, he said hesitantly, “Um, Professor Gao Ye, do you need to sing a song for you to cheer you on?”
But it did not seem to be necessary. When the ntal chains from the Demonic Abyss Eye were about to tear apart Gao Ye’s soul, the Ultimate Sandworm let out a deafening roar, and the light of humanity shone brilliantly like a volcano eruption in the dozens of eyes at the sa ti. The brightness of the human-shaped spirit fla also increased by several degrees, and in an instant, the ntal chains surrounding it were crushed.
The Demonic Abyss Eye looked like it was pierced by an invisible longspear.
It let out a pained screech that could capture human souls.
The eye, which took up most of its body, turned bloodshot. The blood capillaries then snapped one by one. At first glance, it was as if its entire eyeball had been crushed, and a lot of sticky but crystalline liquid that looked like blood oozed out of it.
“You did it!”
ng Chao was about to start weeping in joy.
Gao Ye successfully broke free of the Demonic Abyss Eye’s ntal control. And he even caused the Demonic Abyss Eye to suffer from a ntal backlash.
“Did you see it?! The human soul won’t be controlled forever by a monster like you!” ng Chao shouted while swinging his fists.
But the fight was not yet finished.
At the end of the day, a Supernatural Entity was still a Supernatural Entity.
Even if it had not fully matured yet, it would not be killed so easily.
The Demonic Abyss Eye’s body—the eyeball, heart, and brain-like thing—shrunk to less than half its original size.
The tentacles, then, swelled up as if they were filled with blood and looked like leeches with thorns all over them.
The creature jumped toward Gao Ye’s back and used the leech-like tentacles to suck on the skin and pull itself forward. In an instant, it arrived near Gao Ye’s brain.
