Chapter 1642: 1642
It was already inconceivable that the person before him had managed to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence and the Time Quintessence… but who could have thought that he would have successfully grasped the Soul Quintessence as well!
In the past tens of thousands of years, nearly no one in the Three Premier Clans had managed to comprehend any of these three Quintessences . Even Ancient Sages would view comprehending any one of these Quintessences as their greatest pride, regarding it as their bragging rights toward their fellow Ancient Sages .
But somehow, a single person had actually able to grasp all three of them . How in the world was this possible?
Just what kind of monster was he?
Kacha!
In Jiang Fangyou's moment of shock, the thief had already broken through the windows of the treasure vault, ready to escape at any moment .
"Do you think that I'll allow you to escape after emptying our Jiang Clan's treasure vault? You are really taking me too lightly!"
With a face reddened with rage, Jiang Fangyou pushed his foot forcefully against the ground and leaped out of the window as well . Raising his right hand, he swiped forward ferociously .
Hong long!
A powerful surge of zhenqi burst forth with astounding speed, forming an energy wall which sealed all possible escape routes . At the same time, Jiang Fangyou concentrated his soul energy into his hand to forge a sharp sword and slashed it down on the thief forcefully .
Peng!
Through the sheer congregation of soul energy, Jiang Fangyou's sword overcame the limitations of space and time to sever the thief's neck .
Weng!
However, as the sword of soul energy came into contact with the thief's neck, a faint ripple of luminescence flowed out from the thief's body . It easily deflected the sword, allowing the thief to escape unharmed from this offense .
"Barrier of Soul Ripple? You are… a soul oracle?" Jiang Fangyou's heart jolted once more as he nearly plummeted from the sky .
The shock that he had received that day was far more than what he had encountered in his entire life!
Barrier of Soul Ripple was a battle technique unique to the soul oracles . By wrapping one's body with flowing soul energy, one would be able to deflect most soul offenses .
It was a technique which only the most authentic soul oracles were able to pull off . Even Jiang Fangyou wasn't capable enough to execute it…
On top of comprehending the Time, Spatial, and Soul Quintessences, the thief was actually a soul oracle too?
Just when in the world did such a formidable expert appear on the continent?
However, Jiang Fangyou knew that this was not the time for him to remain stunned in shock . With a swift flick of his wrist, a triangular flag materialized on top of his palm and rose into the air .
Great Sage artifact, Darksoul Flag!
This was an artifact that had been forged by an Ancient Sage of the Jiang Clan . It had been a hundred years since Jiang Fangyou gained possession of the flag, and he had been nourishing it with his soul energy every single day . Furthermore, he had not used it since the major fight eighty years ago .
In other words, there was eighty years worth of soul energy stored within the Darksoul Flag!
With the activation of the Darksoul Flag, a profuse amount of soul energy gushed frenziedly into the surroundings, preventing anyone within its sphere of dominion from escaping .
A sinister aura drifted across the air, and it felt as if the temperature around the Jiang Clan had abruptly plummeted . Even though Saint cultivators possessed a certain degree of resistance to heat and cold, the cold vibe seemed to seep right into their souls, leaving them shuddering uncontrollably .
The soul energy emanated by the Darksoul Flag held malevolent intent . Those whose cultivation was weaker could end up turning into retards under the hostile assault of the flag . Even those who were stronger would find themselves light-headed, inhibiting their reaction speed . This would create an opening for others to exploit .
Many years ago, Yang shi had a friendly duel with Jiang Fangyou . He had been caught off guard by the prowess of the Darksoul Flag and nearly suffered a huge setback .
Before the prowess of the Darksoul Flag, the body of the thief was forcefully halted on the spot . As if an ant cast within a block of ice, he was unable to escape no matter how desperately he struggled .
Seeing that he had managed to seal the movement of the thief, Jiang Fangyou heaved a sigh of relief . "You might be a true soul oracle, but you are simply too weak at the moment . You are no match for the prowess of the Darksoul Flag!"
Just as he was about to apprehend the thief to see the face of the culprit, he suddenly felt the flag in the air trembling non-stop . To his astonishment, it felt like the Darksoul Flag was running out of control!
Tzzzzzzz!
The eighty years worth of soul energy accumulated within the Darksoul Flag suddenly surged into the seemingly-trapped thief beneath it . Before long, a huge whirlpool had already formed between them .
"H-he… is absorbing the soul energy in the Darksoul Flag? This is bad…" Jiang Fangyou's face turned ghastly pale, and he nearly blacked out .
The Darksoul Flag is one of the strongest artifacts in the Jiang Clan! Yet, not only are you unfazed by its attack, you are even absorbing soul energy from it…
You monster! Show your true form!
With a livid expression, Jiang Fangyou maneuvered the Darksoul Flag to pierce into the body of the thief . "You b*stard, there's no way I'll let you do that! Die!"
The Darksoul Flag was not just capable of soul offense, it wielded formidable physical prowess as well . Under its full might, even a Great Sage 2-dan Aureate Body realm cultivator would be completely destroyed!
Hula!
The Darksoul Flag pierced right toward the thief with astounding speed . Jiang Fangyou thought that he would finally be able to subdue the thief with this move, but to his bewilderment, the thief raised his hand and stroked the flag lightly . Following which…
The Darksoul Flag suddenly twisted and twirled delightfully around the thief, and a moan of delight echoed from its body . It was almost as if it had just been reunited with its long-lost father!
