The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 869: Chapter 866: Forbidden Divine Art_1

If he were to stand here and Du Yunkong were to die, it would be an utter disgrace to him.

The reason he used the gathering of materials as an excuse was because he thought it was the least effort-consuming method. If it really came down to a critical moment, he still had other means to save Du Yunkong.

His words undoubtedly boosted Du Zhuifeng’s confidence, making him nod solemnly, as he looked at his child who had fallen asleep again.

Yang Chen temporarily left and settled in the nearby room.

The lack of materials was indeed an unexpected situation, and he hoped that Jiang Caiying would return quickly. Before Jiang Caiying gathered the necessary materials, he planned to do some things for himself.

“Senior Yun Lu, you mentioned that you had something to discuss with me some time ago. However, I’ve been too preoccupied with other matters, and I have no idea what that might be,” Yang Chen asked.

Yun Lu did not rush to answer, but instead hurriedly set up a soundproof array and a formation to guard against soul intrusion. Only then did she jump out from the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space.

“Alright, with this in place, even if Du Zhuifeng’s strength is formidable, his soul cannot invade,” Yun Lu said.

“What does Senior Yun Lu need?” Yang Chen could tell that Yun Lu seemed to have something of great significance to say.

Yun Lu took a light breath, then bent down and said, “Young Master, after the consultations between me and a few Elders of the Fishpeople Tribe, we made this decision. As your strength is getting stronger and stronger, my Divine Soul Power, which is at the first level of Earth Martial Realm, is simply not enough to help you anymore!”

“Haha, nonsense. I never said anything, and you guys are making such baseless assumptions,” Yang Chen saw that Yun Lu seemed to be somewhat sorrowful and hurriedly said, afraid that the Fishpeople would overthink things.

Leaning on her crutches, Yun Lu said, “Young Master, I am not a young Fishman who has only lived for a few decades, and there are some things that I can make a very clear judgment about. Besides, how much longer can my soul be of help to you, Young Master? With your talent, entering the Earth Martial Realm is just a matter of time, and by then, where will the significance of us Fishpeople lie when your soul surpasses me?”

“This…”

Yang Chen couldn’t deny it for a moment and frowned, sighing.

Indeed, as his strength grew stronger, the Fishpeople Tribe would be unable to help him in terms of the soul aspect.

“While it’s true that you can’t help me with soul matters, you can help me with other things. Your Fishpeople Tribe is very intelligent, proficient in Alchemy and Talisman Creation, Array and Restriction Techniques. Senior Yun Lu, there are many things you can do and many ways you can help me,” Yang Chen said.

“Indeed, so we plan to do something more meaningful for us and helpful to you, Young Master. However…” Yun Lu suddenly stopped.

“What’s the problem?” Yang Chen was stunned.

Yun Lu smiled and said, “Before that, we must first help Young Master resolve his soul concerns. At least after I no longer serve as your soul assistant, you can still handle the soul aspect smoothly.”

Yang Chen felt bewildered, then couldn’t help but laugh, “Senior Yun Lu means that…”

Yun Lu said solemnly, “Young Master, this involves an ancient secret technique held by our ancestors of the Fishpeople Tribe during the Ancient Era. This secret art is called ‘Forbidden Divine Art’.”

“Forbidden Divine Art?” Yang Chen was bewildered, and he knew very little about this forbidden divine technique.

It was not difficult to judge that it was indeed a secret art from the Ancient Era; otherwise, there was no reason for him to be completely ignorant of it.

“This Forbidden Divine Art is extremely difficult to grasp at entry level; it is a forbidden technique created by our Fishpeople Tribe to assist the great powers of human ancestors in the Ancient Era. To let humans learn this Forbidden Divine Art, there must be six proficient Divine Soul cultivators guiding them on the side. After the cultivator has succeeded, they will be able to enter the initial stage, and their soul will be twice as strong as that of ordinary people of the same rank!”

“Moreover, that’s not the final stage. Those who practice the Forbidden Divine Art to the later stage will have their souls become three or even four times stronger than that of ordinary people of the same rank. It is considered one of the greatest creations of our Fishpeople Tribe!”

Yang Chen listened in amazement and widened his eyes.

He had heard about many soul secret techniques that could enhance the soul achievements of ordinary people to a higher level. Some heaven-defying methods could indeed make one’s soul power far surpass their peers.

However, compared with the Forbidden Divine Art, those were simply incomparable.

It was a world of difference.

Able to make a cultivator’s soul power three or even four times stronger than that of ordinary people of the same rank, that was enough to be called a heaven-defying divine effect.

“Of course, there’s a downside to practicing this technique. Those who practice this Forbidden Divine Art will not be able to practice other soul secret techniques!” Yun Lu explained.

Yang Chen was about to say that this was no downside, but he quickly realized something, “Senior Yun Lu, there must be more than one downside. I don’t believe that such a heaven-defying technique has only this one downside!”

If not being able to practice other soul secret techniques could even be considered a downside, then probably no one would care about this downside. With such a heaven-defying technique, who would bother practicing other soul secret techniques? They would be wasting their time.

Yun Lu’s expression became somewhat flustered, “Young Master, where did your thoughts go? What other downsides are there?”

“Senior Yun Lu, we’ve known each other for so long, can you just be honest with me?” Yang Chen took a deep breath.

Yun Lu’s body trembled, and then solemnly said, “Alright, Young Master, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Indeed, practicing this Forbidden Divine Art has more than one downside. To be precise, what I mentioned before can’t even be considered a downside. The biggest downside is that after the six of us Fishpeople guide you to practice the Forbidden Divine Art, we will lose all our soul power. From now on, we will no longer have a soul in our bodies!”

As she said this, Yun Lu looked somewhat lost, but suddenly seemed to realize something, and her loss was gone.

“What!”

Yang Chen was greatly surprised and exclaimed, “If this is the case, I will never agree to it. Senior Yun Lu, don’t mention this matter again.”

“Young Master, how can this be? We Fishpeople have already discussed and decided this,” Yun Lu’s eyes widened.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, “Senior Yun Lu, please think about it, can I, Yang Chen, let you Fishpeople give up your souls for my sake? This is something that you will never have again from now on. Is it just for me to practice a Forbidden Divine Art?”

“But Young Master, you should also think about it, if we Fishpeople can’t help you in terms of soul, what use is our soul to us?” Yun Lu said firmly, “It is you, Young Master, who helped us extend our lives, who helped us awaken our memories. Now is the time for our Fishpeople Tribe to repay you.”
