Ye Qingyu looked grave as he let go of the Life Sword in his hand.

His giant long sword transformed into blazing flames that protected Ye Qingyu within.

His [One Sword to Destroy All Things] could not only be used to attack, it could also be used for defense.

Flowing light rays of sword will covered his body protectively and nothing was able to harm him.

The Abandoned Fiendgod's and the King of Destruction's frenzied attacks couldn't penetrate the blazing flames that surrounded Ye Qingyu. The only thing that could affect him was that elusive melody that was constantly changing its tune. It started with the sound of a pipa but it was now a guqin, and its melody rose and fell, started and stopped, like silk threads or sticky fibers that affected his mental state. His spirit kept being shaken and he found it hard to calm down.

"Show yourself!" he roared.

His sword will circulated and howled like a raging ocean as it swallowed part of space.

His sword will was like water that rippled outward, and it was as powerful as his divine consciousness.

Soon after, Ye Qingyu locked in on his target.

He saw an almost-invisible and elusive ball of light slowly appearing from a distance. It gave off a very mysterious vibe and seemed to be able to defy the laws of space and time. It would be east at one moment, then west at the next moment, and flickered as it shifted locations. The guqin melody could be heard intermittently from this ball of light.

His sword will spread out like water, but to his surprise, he found that he was unable to destroy this strange ball of light.

"This is a King of Sovereignswho wasn't present at the destruction of the Divine Light Court millions of years ago. It doesn't seem to have a body and exists in a spirit state," he muttered with a frown. It was very rare for a spirit to be able to reach the King of Sovereigns realm, and it was even harder for spirits to reach this realm as compared to ordinary beings. However, once it reached this realm, it would be able to master mysterious talents and divine abilities, so it was extremely difficult to battle against such an entity.

He didn't expect this to be the trump card of the King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod.

"[One Sword to Destroy All Things]. Go!"

Ye Qingyu reached into the void, pulled out a long sword, then slashed out with it.

Swish!

His sword light shot out like lightning and slashed past the ball of light.

The ball of light was not destroyed, but instead, melodious tunes could be heard from it again. The guqin sounds changed into the sounds of a Chinese flute. Its rousing melody was sad and moving, and an improbable medium surged out from the depths of true space and hurtled toward Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu felt his spirits sink, and immediately, he felt lost and empty, as though he had lost his beloved.

"This is such a frightening musical attack. It has the power to attack one's mind directly." He realized that this was a tough opponent to deal with.

This new King of Sovereigns that had just arrived on the scene could resist the divine abilities of his sword will, and his [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique couldn't destroy it, while its musical notes could affect his mind and spirit, and also seemed to be able to penetrate past his sword will protective cover.

Rumble!

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod pulled out all the stops as they frantically attacked him.

Ye Qingyu turned back to look at the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and noticed that this musical cadence did not seem to affect Wen Wan and the others. But he sensed that Wen Wan and the others were unaffected not because the [Cloud Top Cauldron] had the ability to block this strange melody, but because the ball of light wasn't targeting Wen Wan and the others. Evidently, the musical attack could attack at a very precise range.

There was a strange and subtle change in the momentum of this battle.

Ye Qingyu exerted his nameless breathing technique and forced down the turbulence in his spirit. He used his Life Sword to ward off his enemies and still managed to gain the upper hand despite the King of Destruction's and the Abandoned Fiendgod's frenzied attacks.

The sound of the Chinese flute soon changed to the bleak sound of a Chinese vertical flute.

The haunting music sounded like bitter sobs or waves of rage.

Ye Qingyu felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness wash over him, as though he had been forgotten by the world. He suddenly felt like life was meaningless and had an urge to Dao-dissolve and become one with this black and lonely universe.

He immediately sensed a threat and knew that his opponent was testing him.

His opponent was probing at his mental state with different instruments.

The melody produced from each instrument represented an emotion.

His opponent constantly switched instruments and emotions in an attempt to find a flaw or a weakness in his mental state. In other words, his opponent was trying to find a way to trigger his inner demons.

Gradually, his nameless breathing technique could no longer ward off the melodies that could be heard from the ball of light.

Ye Qingyu grew more upset and irritable.

The power from his Life Sword kept decreasing, and the mysteries from his [One Sword to Destroy All Techniques] were no longer as sharp as before.

"Kill!"

"My time has come."

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod reacted maniacally and their strength soared as they attacked him in a frenzy.

The terrifying power of laws and ripples from the Dao laws spread across space and spanned several million kilometers. Several planets were completely wiped out by the force of this power, and even stars that once lit up a certain part of space were unable to bear the resulting force from these supreme beings' battle. These stars would vanish the moment these ripples touched them, as though an ocean had swept across a fiery planet...

It was a disaster to this part of space.

Large numbers of planets were destroyed and dust floated in space as though it was the end of days. The universal space was almost entirely destroyed.

The ball of light constantly switched between instruments and melodies as it continued to probe at his mental state.

As time passed, its interference became more significant and Ye Qingyu became more affected by its probing attacks. This resulted in his strength being suppressed.

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod gradually regained their strength. Their injuries slowly disappeared while the foreign will that had entered their bodies from Ye Qingyu's Life Sword was also expelled from their bodies. Their strength continued to soar and they managed to close in their attacking range. Then, they were within one hundred meters of him.

Wen Wan and the others under the [Cloud Top Cauldron] were extremely worried.

Little Nine jumped up and down and bared its teeth as it kept slamming itself against the chaotic and primordial light shield in an attempt to break free and join the battle.

Ye Qingyu seemed to sense what Little Nine was doing. Then, he calmed himself down and said, "Go!" The [Cloud Top Cauldron] instantly turned into a ray of flowing light and brought the Six Divine Generals, Old Fish, Wen Wan, and the others toward the astronomical continent.

The King of Destruction tried to stop the [Cloud Top Cauldron], but he failed to block the mighty power of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and was sent flying backward.

After he sent Old Fish and the others away, he didn't need to worry about his friends' well-being, so he freely unleashed the power of the one hundred eight ancient characters mysterious technique that formed a protective formation shield around him. These rays of ancient formations rapidly swarmed into his Life Sword as fast as lightning and he spat out a blood arrow that similarly made its way into his Life Sword. This was the [Blood Drinker Sword] that he had personally crafted.

After his Life Sword received a boost from the mysterious formation technique and the [Blood Drinker Sword], his sword glowed with a reddish-gold light as though it had a life of its own, and its sword will spilled out of his sword like rushing water to form a sword will formation. The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod were trapped within it, and they instantly realized that something was amiss. Their strength had not only been suppressed, but they could also sense that their strength was being mysteriously sapped out of them and transferred to Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu gradually started to turn the tables.

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod were extremely astonished.

Then, they were struck by fear.

They had been preparing for this battle against Ye Qingyu for a long time and had paid a large price to get the God of Consciousness to fight alongside them. The God of Consciousness, a King of Sovereigns that was an ancient spirit entity, was in charge of secretly watching the battle unfold and would only join the battle when they needed it. The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod were certain that they didn't need to call on the God of Consciousness since they believed they could kill Ye Qingyu with their own strength.

It seemed like this King of Sovereigns from the Vast Thousand Star Domains was a lot more powerful than they had initially expected and even had such powerful trump cards up his sleeves. They would have been slain it hadn't been for the God of Consciousness arriving.

It had only been a few million years, so how could the Vast Thousand Star Domains produce such an invincible King of Sovereigns?

It seemed completely implausible.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Loud metallic clangs rang out from the battlefield.

This was the 10th instrument from the God of Consciousness and the 10th energy wave that could stir up one's emotions.

Ye Qingyu clenched his jaw, and his divine sense was so dense it seemed like an entity of its own as he tried to defend himself against the strange melody. Even the King of Destruction or the Abandoned Fiendgod would have had to expend all their energy in defending themselves against this strange melody. And if his spirit hadn't been refined by the [Cloud Top Cauldron], he would not have been able to also defend himself from the attacks of his peers at the same time.

Gradually, the splendor from the ball of light became more dazzling.

Its tune became even more frightening and mysterious.

Ye Qingyu's spirit trembled as he realized that he was gradually losing control over his divine consciousness. He was also being attacked by two Kings of Sovereigns so he couldn't wholly concentrate on defending himself against this melody. The momentum of the battle slowly turned against him.

"Cauldron, come!" Ye Qingyu yelled.

A bronze-colored ray of light shot from the direction of the astronomical continent and landed in Ye Qingyu's palm.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] had returned to him.

It was summoned by Ye Qingyu after safely transporting Wen Wan and the others to the astronomical continent.

"Ancestors, please descend upon this earth!"

Ye Qingyu was well-versed in the ways of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], and the ancient ancestors on the walls of the cauldron all shot out at his mental command. Then, stone arrows, huge rocks, torches, troops, battle beasts, mountains, rivers, and the others all came out with a loud growl and instantly surrounded the King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod.

When he called upon these ancestors with his current cultivation, these ancestors were almost as powerful as him. These two supreme beings were stuck in the middle of the crowd of ancestors and were unable to free themselves for the time being.

"Absorb!"

Ye Qingyu exerted the giant cauldron and pointed its mouth toward the God of Consciousness.

The mouth of the cauldron was like a chaotic realm and a primordial light exploded from it to release a powerful suction power and attempted to drag the God of Consciousness into its mouth.

A fast melody burst forth from the ball of light.

Evidently, it sensed the power of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and felt threatened by it, so it was putting up a struggle.

Ye Qingyu raised his cauldron and tapped out a continuous rhythm on the cauldron. Then, the cauldron let out a series of loud buzzing sounds that covered up the sounds from the God of Consciousness. As the [Cloud Top Cauldron] buzzed loudly, the God of Consciousness continued to be dragged toward the mouth of the cauldron. The situation was extremely perilous.

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod were very worried.

They would have never imagined that Ye Qingyu's ultimate trump card would be this cauldron.

What kind of cauldron was it and how could it be so powerful?

Could it be a supreme treasure of eternity?

They yelled angrily, but at the same time, they were also frightened because they realized that this was the turning point of the battle. They were about to be defeated and they would not be able to bear the consequences of this defeat...

However, a clear voice suddenly rang out during this crucial moment—

"His inner demon is homesickness... Attack him with the song of homesickness."

A beautiful figure appeared in the distance. Her black hair and red skirts danced in the wind, her figure was graceful and slender, her skin was as fair as white jade, and her beauty surpassed that of the most wonderous scenes of nature. She was extremely beautiful and so gorgeous that she charmed the entire world into falling at her feet.
