Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1990 - 1988: The Female Soul God

[The meticulous new book "Ninefold Barbarian Divine Art" has already reached four hundred thousand words. Everyone can search for it and take a look, it’s extremely exciting!]Five hours passed!

Using the imprint method left behind by the old monk of the Buddhist Sect on this unmanned Ghost Light Ship, Ye Tianchen also chose to keep his mind-mirror clear and empty, letting the Ghost Light Ship drift wherever it wished, hoping to obtain a method that could correctly cross the Blood Sea!

However, just as Ye Tianchen was startled awake by a peal of bell ringing, he saw that right above this Blood Sea, not far from the Ghost Light Ship he was riding, there appeared what looked like a temple. Hanging right in front of the temple was a large bell, and in front of the bell stood a woman dressed in a long white dress, her back facing Ye Tianchen, ringing the bell again and again in a very steady rhythm!

Instinctively, Ye Tianchen felt curious. Why would a temple appear above this Blood Sea? Was it an illusion? Ye Tianchen did not sense any signs of his Martial Arts True Qi becoming disordered. Was it real? How could that be? A Blood Sea formed by blood water pouring down—how could there possibly be a temple built on top of it? This was simply impossible, utterly unbelievable. And this white-clothed woman who was facing away from him gave Ye Tianchen the urge to go over and see what she actually looked like...

The Ghost Light Ship Ye Tianchen was riding unknowingly sailed toward the white-clothed woman whose back faced him on the Blood Sea. But at this moment, that fellow, the Little Demon Bat Beast, woke up. When it saw this scene, it was so frightened that its mouth gaped open, about to scream. Just as the Little Demon Bat Beast was about to cry out, the two brothers Black and White Impermanence suddenly shot up from the bottom of the Ghost Light Ship, immediately covered the Little Demon Bat Beast’s mouth, and told Ye Tianchen to leave at once, to get away from here, that they absolutely must not approach that white-clothed woman!

The Ghost Light Ship turned around and sailed the other way!

The two brothers, Black and White Impermanence, were so terrified their faces changed color as they urged the Ghost Light Ship to head in the opposite direction from where the white-clothed woman stood. Ye Tianchen, curious, turned his head, wanting to take another look, but Hei Bai hurriedly grabbed Ye Tianchen’s shoulder and shook his head very seriously.

"Wah!"

But at this moment, that fellow the Little Demon Bat Beast let out a terrified scream and fainted again. After hearing this cry, the faces of Black and White Impermanence both turned ashen, as if lifeless. Ye Tianchen was also startled, because when he turned around, that white-clothed woman who had originally been standing far away was suddenly right in front of him. Ye Tianchen froze in shock and involuntarily stepped back. This white-clothed woman’s speed was far too fast—even with Ye Tianchen’s Cultivation Realm, he hadn’t sensed her at all.

"You... who exactly are you?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown and ask.

"Anyone who disturbs me must die!" A chilling, sinister voice sounded, and the white-clothed woman turned around at the same time.

"This..." Ye Tianchen jolted, a chill running up his spine, because this white-clothed woman had always been facing away from them. Yet when she turned around, it was still her back. In other words, this white-clothed woman had no front, no face—she had a back on both sides! Such a scene was truly terrifying!

In an instant, before Ye Tianchen could even react, the entire Blood Sea was filled with such white-clothed women, stepping toward their Ghost Light Ship one step at a time, as if they were going to completely swallow it. Ye Tianchen was dumbfounded, completely at a loss as to what was going on!

"No other choice, we have to act..." The two brothers, Black and White Impermanence, exchanged a glance and clapped their palms together. A strange power spread out in all directions with the Ghost Light Ship as its center!

In Ye Tianchen’s mind, the scene seemed to freeze: countless white-clothed women appeared above the Blood Sea. An invisible force pinned down Ye Tianchen’s thoughts, giving him a sense of not knowing what was happening. In the end, his vision went black, and it was like he had entered meditation, sitting cross-legged on the Ghost Light Ship!

No one knew how much time had passed. When Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, he found that fellow, the Little Demon Bat Beast, already hopping about on his shoulder, while at the bow and stern of the Ghost Light Ship stood, respectively, Hei Bai and Wuchang, the two brothers. They were both pouring all their strength into driving the Ghost Light Ship forward at high speed!

"Brother Ye, it’s good that you woke up!" Hei Bai said with a smile.

"Yeah, the two of us were worried you might never wake up!" Wuchang also smiled as he spoke.

"What on earth was all that? Why did you two suddenly disappear? And that white-clothed woman we saw—what exactly was she?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

"This matter is a long story. I’ll start by telling you this: that white-clothed woman was a female Soul God Divine!" Hei Bai walked over and said.

"A female Soul God?" Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

"That’s right. Anyway, we’re about to reach the depths of Medicine King Valley, so I’ll tell you about it!" Hei Bai said with a grin.

"We’re already about to reach the depths of Medicine King Valley? We passed through the Blood Mist region? What in the world is going on? I really want to know!" Ye Tianchen asked in shock.

Hei Bai glanced at Ye Tianchen, nodded slightly, and only then began to recount what had happened.

It turned out that after Ye Tianchen stepped onto that Ghost Light Ship without a bronze lantern, Hei Bai Wuchang had also been sensing everything around them. They suddenly noticed something strange, heard some sounds that could only be heard in a special state, and immediately thought of a certain rumor. Sensing that something big was wrong, they jumped into this Blood Sea and hid beneath the Ghost Light Ship, of course without actually leaving. It was just that Ye Tianchen didn’t know.

When Ye Tianchen returned to their own Ghost Light Ship again, he had already been affected by that eerie sound, only he himself hadn’t realized it. He sat cross‑legged inside the Ghost Light Ship, and the Ghost Light Ship also seemed to be influenced by that sound, heading toward its source. That was why Ye Tianchen saw a temple, and a white‑robed woman with her back to him striking the bell.

When the two brothers Hei Bai Wuchang were always floating beneath the Ghost Light Ship and saw the temple and the white‑robed woman, they were both utterly horrified. Only then did they know that the rumor about the Blood Sea above was real, and they truly felt the crisis. They were just about to tell Ye Tianchen and urge him to leave quickly, but unexpectedly that Little Demon Bat Beast woke up, wanting to cry out. How would Hei Bai Wuchang dare let the Little Demon Bat Beast make the slightest sound? They immediately jumped out.

Only, what Hei Bai Wuchang hadn’t expected at all was that with that idiot Little Demon Bat Beast around, they still ended up angering the white‑robed woman. If not for their fortune and blessings being deep enough, the few of them would already be soaking as corpses in this Blood Sea!

"That white‑robed woman is that terrifying? She’s the female Soul God you mentioned?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

"Mm. There’s a legend about this female Soul God, but no one really believed it. I didn’t expect we’d run into her this time. We truly picked up a life!" Wuchang said, still feeling lingering fear.

"Is this female Soul God very powerful?" Ye Tianchen looked at Hei Bai and asked.

"More than powerful. I’m afraid that unless one reaches the height of the Saint Realm, there’s no way to defeat her, because this female Soul God was a woman who had already walked to the Saint Realm. She sat in death atop this Blood Sea, yet left behind an unextinguished执念." Hei Bai spoke with a tone of astonishment.

"A woman who had walked to the Saint Realm, who sat in death on this Blood Sea? In that case, does that mean this Blood Sea truly cannot be crossed?" Ye Tianchen asked in great surprise.

"Hehe, not necessarily. It’s just that, according to legend, this white‑robed woman of the Saint Realm back then was following in the footsteps of the mighty one who laid down the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Formation. Unfortunately, after reaching this place, that mighty one would not allow the white‑robed female Saint to continue following in his steps, wanting to stop her here in this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and make her retreat on her own. Unexpectedly, this white‑robed female Saint was extremely stubborn, guarding this place all along. Even at the final moment of her sitting in death, she left behind an unextinguished执念!" Hei Bai said with a faint smile.

It was said that the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea of Medicine King Valley was set up by a Great Divine Ability User, precisely to prevent any living being from entering Medicine King Valley to pick Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass and thus depleting all the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass within. This Great Divine Ability User possessed peerless talent, had the supreme bearing of someone who could ascend to the Emperor Realm, and was admired and followed by a white‑robed female Saint. However, this Great Divine Ability User seemed to have no such intentions, so he also blocked this white‑robed female Saint within the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and told her that following in his footsteps was not a good thing. He bore a mission, a mission too heavy to bear, and he did not wish to implicate this white‑robed female Saint.

But the white‑robed female Saint had already made up her mind; she would follow in the footsteps of this Great Divine Ability User no matter what. Even if she was blocked within this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, she never left. Until the very moment she sat in death, she still left behind an unextinguished执念, transforming atop this Blood Sea, striking the bell day and night, hoping to awaken the love in that Great Divine Ability User’s heart!

"No wonder it’s so terrifying. The执念 left by a Saint is truly not something we can contend with right now!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"Yet another tragic and stirring love story. This Martial Arts World has buried how much kinship, love, and friendship. Is this the fate of All Living Beings!" Hei Bai couldn’t help but frown and say.

"Story’s over, and we’ve also arrived at the real Medicine King Valley. Our luck this time is really pretty good!" Wuchang chuckled.

Ye Tianchen and Hei Bai both stood up and looked into the distance. They saw that right ahead, there actually appeared what felt like a small island. This small island seemed to be built at the edge of the Blood Sea. On the island, there were some birds and beasts, a scene of utter peace and harmony, completely at odds with the terrifying atmosphere of this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea... (To be continued.
