Chapter 347: This Time, He Was Defeated Again!
The Spear of the Ancestral Dragon came crashing down with an unparalleled might, and the great power from Tianluo Kingdom's visage turned ashen in an instant. With his Object of the Divine Path destroyed and his body suffering heavy injuries, there was no way he could muster his usual combat power.
Moreover, the Golden Spear in his opponent's hands was terrifyingly powerful, capable of damaging even his Divine Path Object. After all, he was a great power at the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm, while his opponent was only at the peak of the Martial King Realm.
"Heavenly Eye Dharma King, save me!" In desperation, the great power from Tianluo Kingdom had no choice but to cry out for help. Without even needing his plea, the countenance of the Brahma Kingdom's Heavenly Eye Dharma King next to him darkened drastically as Qi Force surged wildly out from within him.
In an instant, the roulette suspended in the tree branches erupted with a blinding and terrifying radiance, with the light coalescing into a massive beam that seemed to carry the might of thunderclaps, imbued with devastating destructive power.
The beam descended directly, reaching the top of Ye Feng's head in a flash!
None present harbored any doubt that if one were struck by this beam of light, even a body of steel would likely be pierced through, not to mention the flesh body of a person.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Feng did not defend himself this time; he stood firm in place without moving. Suddenly, a layer of Golden Armor protective gear emerged all over his body.
It was clear that his Golden Armor possessed incredibly strong defensive power.
Yet when the golden beam descended, it instantly tore through the thick armor, but fortunately, at that moment, the power of the beam was greatly diminished.
The next moment, Ye Feng shot up into the sky, and the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon in his hands soared high, swooshing towards the roulette hanging in the branches.
"Not good…" The Heavenly Eye Dharma King's face changed dramatically, and only then did he realize why his opponent, who obviously had the ability to dodge or could have completely blocked his roulette beam attack with that spear, did not do so.
Ye Feng didn't because he wanted to use the insufficiently defensive Golden Armor protective gear to weather the attack, leaving an opportunity for the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon to strike. Indeed, as Ye Feng had anticipated, his calculation was correct.
The Heavenly Eye Dharma King had not expected Ye Feng's strategy, and now it was too late to retract his Divine Path roulette. The Spear of the Ancestral Dragon, carrying a terrifying dragon-like shockwave, instantly swallowed the golden roulette.
Without any surprise, as the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon was a Spiritual Artifact that greatly amplified the combat power of its wielder when infused with one's own Qi Force, Ye Feng, who had already unlocked more than two hundred acupoints, with Qi Force already robust to a terrifying degree, struck earth-shatteringly with the infused spear.
The void erupted with a loud explosion, and the dazzling golden roulette shattered on the spot. The Heavenly Eye Dharma King below spat out blood and staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
The surrounding crowd, whether from the Southern Territory or the people of the Three Southern Countries, stood dumbfounded, with shock painted on their faces, and even Zhang Wenyuan was astonished.
They could hardly believe that Northern King Ye Feng, on his own, was taking on two great powers at the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm, not only causing them severe injuries but also destroying their Divine Path Objects.
"This... what is the origin of that spear? It's so domineering; it's certainly not an ordinary magic artifact!" Zhang Wenyuan lamented in his heart.
"Kill!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and bellowed, his killing intent soaring to the heavens. With the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon in hand, his aura burst forth, and his long hair flew wildly as if he were the God of Slaughter descending to the mortal realm.
The first to bear the brunt was the great power from Tianluo Kingdom who was closest to him. Ye Feng dived towards him, and in an instant, he was in front of his foe, then he thrust out the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon.
Now without his Divine Path Object, how could the great power from Tianluo Kingdom contend? Watching the terrifying spear, carrying a vast force of slaughter, rush towards him, he had no choice but to meet it head-on.
But in the end, he still underestimated the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon. Almost at the moment of contact, his right hand was instantly severed from his body, and had he not reacted quickly, his head might have been blasted to pieces on the spot by the spear.
"Damn it, that hurts! This youngster is too violent and domineering. We are no match for him. Retreat, flee quickly!" The great power from Tianluo Kingdom, enduring the severe pain, immediately retreated and fled, becoming the first to choose escape, even leaving behind his severed arm.
At this point, the other two great powers also exchanged glances, looking as if their courage had shattered. Seeing the intent to flee in each other's eyes, they too sped away without a care for face or subordinates, choosing to escape in front of everyone.
"Thinking of escaping!" Ye Feng said in a deep and cold voice, and with a thought, the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon in his hand shot out directly.
Zhang Wenyuan's expression changed drastically when he saw this, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "A Spiritual Artifact! It truly is a Spiritual Artifact! This spear is indeed one of the legendary Spiritual Artifacts!"
At this moment, Zhang Wenyuan's shock was indescribable; as the disciple of Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming, he certainly knew what a Spiritual Artifact meant. In simplest terms, a Spiritual Artifact, even the most lowly one, could make the owner's combat power grow exponentially.
Originally, Ye Feng's combat power was already exceedingly formidable. Without using that spear, he could roughly contend with those at the Divine Communication Realm level, but with the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon, crushing Divine Communication Realm and even Half-Step Divine Ability Realm level great powers was naturally not difficult.
```
Even according to Zhang Wenyuan's judgment, with this Treasure Spear, Ye Feng might already possess the capital to challenge a true Divine Ability Realm Great Power. Of course, it would probably still be difficult to contend with a genuine Divine Ability Realm opponent.
After all, not only does the Divine Ability Realm wield Objects of the Divine Path, but they can also evolve all sorts of miraculous Divine Skills from these objects, which are definitely incomparable to the Divine Communication Realm.
Nevertheless, even so, the combat power Ye Feng displayed was enough to shock Zhang Wenyuan, especially since throughout the entire Xuanyuan Nation, those who possessed a Spiritual Artifact probably numbered less than ten, and even his own master, Zhao Gongming, only possessed a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact, the Xuanyuan Sword.
Zhang Wenyuan really couldn't understand. He thought he had known Ye Feng well enough, but he didn't even know when Ye Feng had come into possession of this Spiritual Artifact spear, which really left a sour taste in his heart.
This time, he undoubtedly lost again. Although he had not directly confronted Ye Feng this time, his defeat was even more thorough!
Just as he was mulling over this, Ye Feng's Spear of the Ancestral Dragon, directed by his mind and spirit, shot out with an unbelievably fast speed. After all, as a Spiritual Artifact, it was incomparable to a Great Power of the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm.
Bang!
The Spear of the Ancestral Dragon directly struck the left leg of a Great Power from the Ancient Yue Kingdom and instantly exploded upon impact.
"Ah..." A miserable scream emanated from the Great Power of the Ancient Yue Kingdom, but he dared not hesitate for even a moment, and, enduring the severe pain, he quickly leaped away, vanishing into the vast forest behind the courtyard in an instant.
Ye Feng intended to once again deploy the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon for a pursuit, but suddenly he felt a wave of dizziness in his head and had no choice but to summon the spear back to him.
It turned out that the distance was too great, and since Ye Feng's Divine Sense was still too weak, he could only control the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon within a certain range. Beyond thirty meters, it was essentially his limit.
It was precisely during this moment that the three half-step Divine Ability Realm Great Powers had already fled without a trace. At this point, it was impossible even for Ye Feng to give chase and eliminate the three of them.

"Not a single one of the remaining enemies shall be spared!" Ye Feng immediately issued the order.
Without the support of the three powerful beings, the remaining dozen or so Divine Path Realm and a few Peak Martial King Realm followers from the Three Southern Countries proved no match and were quickly dispatched.
"This time, thanks to the Northern King's strength alone, he repelled three enemy Great Powers and turned the tide during the Southern Territory's time of crisis. The Northern King is mighty!"
"The Northern King is mighty, long live the Northern King!"
"The Northern King is mighty!"
For a time, the entire Base Camp of the Southern Territory was filled with earth-shattering cheers, and many soldiers even knelt on the ground on the spot, expressing their respect and awe for the Northern King Ye Feng.
As for the Southern King Zhang Wenyuan, at that moment, he was directly overlooked, after all, everyone had just seen that compared to the imposing and mighty presence of the Northern King Ye Feng, the Southern King Zhang Wenyuan was much weaker, being utterly overpowered by one of the Great Powers.
People didn't even dare to imagine, if the Northern King Ye Feng hadn't been present today, the entire Southern End Base Camp might have faced total annihilation.
Listening to the wave-like cheers echoing throughout the Southern Territory Base Camp and, even more fatally, that all these cheers were for the Northern King, Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel lost. He suddenly realized he had made a mistake; from the start, he should not have invited the Northern King to join him in the Southern Territory, but it was too late for regrets.
At this thought, Zhang Wenyuan sighed inwardly. However, as the host of the Base Camp, although he had just shown weakness, he couldn't afford to be petty anymore; otherwise, his prestige in the entire Southern Territory would keep plummeting.
"The Northern King's martial arts are unparalleled. We owe a lot to the Northern King for averting a crisis in the Southern Territory. On behalf of the Southern Territory, I thank the Northern King!" Zhang Wenyuan turned, walked up to Ye Feng, gave a cupped fist salute, and then bowed deeply.
Ye Feng graciously accepted the thanks. Regardless of whether Zhang Wenyuan's gesture was sincere or just for show to all of the Southern Territory, it did not matter. What mattered was that the Southern King had paid his respects to him, and that was enough.
"We are all subjects of the Xuanyuan Nation; in times of national crisis, it is everyone's responsibility!" Ye Feng said indifferently.
"I admire the noble righteousness of the Northern King!" said Zhang Wenyuan. With a grand wave of his hand, he then said, "The Northern King thwarted the enemy and saved the Southern Territory. It is only right for me to hold a banquet to celebrate the Northern King's achievements.
However, considering that those three old things have fled in panic, now is the time to strike and eliminate the provocative forces of the Three Southern Countries at the southern end of our Xuanyuan Nation!"
Ye Feng immediately nodded and said, "Very good. It is a most wise strategy for the Southern King to think of this now. The Southern Territory is fortunate!"
Hearing this, Zhang Wenyuan finally smiled and said, "Once I stabilize the Southern Territory, I will drink merrily with Brother Ye. All soldiers of the Southern Territory, follow me to the council hall!"
