Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 738 - 718: Transformation of the Mental Power Nucleus

Wraiths, after all, are not comparable to mere resentful energies, for they still retain a measure of spiritual wisdom, and it's not excluded that they possess some sort of cultivation technique or martial skill. Their capacity to damage the soul consciousness of cultivators and martial artists is therefore naturally much greater.

However, Ye Feng did not hesitate at all. Although the wraith was strong, if he could vanquish it, the golden energy released would be even greater than the sum of all the resentful energies combined, and the benefits were self-evident.

With the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll at hand, even if his mental power nucleus was not inferior, he had the scroll to fall back on for protection!

It happened in a flash; with a whoosh, the wraith shot into Ye Feng's glabella and next, appeared inside his Sea of Consciousness Heavenly Heart Palace.

"I really... dare, to have extinguished... me, with all my abundant... resentful energies, you dare, you indeed dare!"

The wraith suddenly roared intermittently, and truly, retaining a little spiritual wisdom, although the speech was incoherent, the message was broadly clear enough.

Ye Feng couldn't help but snort coldly, "What does it matter if you were a great power? You have been extinguished for over two thousand years. What if you are unwilling? You are nothing but a residual wraith. You can't stir up much trouble!"

"Fat sheep... such a big one, fat sheep, extinguishing you, I shall definitely... leap forward in my advancement!"

A tone of thick ecstasy emerged in the wraith's voice; finishing its words without waiting for Ye Feng to reply, the wraith charged straight towards the central position of the Mental Power Nucleus in the Heavenly Heart Palace.

Looking at the wraith's posture, it seemed to want to swallow Ye Feng's mental power nucleus whole!

Ye Feng let out a cold shout as his Mental Power Nucleus began to rotate at high speed once again. Now, his Mental Power Nucleus was a whole size larger than it had been before his arrival here, and furthermore, the previously pitch-black nucleus now seemed to be tinted with a layer of faint golden light, giving it a mystically divine appearance.

Under the high-speed rotation of the Mental Power Nucleus, waves of spiritual power surged forward like a tide towards the blood-red wraith that was rushing forward.

"Ha... hu..."

The human-shaped wraith suddenly opened its mouth, creating a terrifying Wind Blade that instantly blew apart the tides of Ye Feng's spiritual power; even Ye Feng himself felt a spiritual storm brewing, as if someone was stabbing his brain directly with a Silver Needle.

At this moment, Ye Feng's consciousness also blurred!

Fortunately, his Mental Power Nucleus was still strong; otherwise if it had been an ordinary person, just a blow from this Wind Blade would probably sink their consciousness on the spot, turning them into an utter fool.

Ye Feng's Mental Power Nucleus was still rotating rapidly, bursting out with overpowering waves of spiritual power, which under the influence of his consciousness, instantly formed into a storm.

"Seeking death..."

The humanoid wraith roared up to the heavens and once again opened its mouth, ejecting an even more violent Wind Blade that immediately dispersed Ye Feng's spiritual power storm.

The Wind Blade charged directly towards the Mental Power Nucleus, and in this instant, Ye Feng's entire being felt as though he'd plunged into an abyss, witnessing a sky filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the unspeakable horror of innumerable ghosts wailing and howling.

"My will is so strong, my spiritual power has cultivated a nucleus; I cannot possibly succumb now!" Ye Feng shouted firmly, his consciousness instantly regaining clarity.

But at this moment, Ye Feng could no longer stand, falling directly to the ground and revealing a pained expression on his face.

"Big Brother Ye..." Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu, upon seeing this state, were both alarmed, and both wanted to rush over immediately.

Old Man Huang Niu hurriedly bellowed, "Don't move recklessly, don't touch him. Right now, Lord Leader is battling with the wraith, absolutely do not make contact!"

Being an ancient creature who had lived for over a hundred years, Old Man Huang Niu's experience far surpassed that of Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu, and he quickly discerned Ye Feng's current condition. Moreover, he knew that under the wraith's attack, Ye Feng was in a bad state.

"Senior Huang, how is Big Brother Ye's condition now?" Hong Qingyan asked urgently, naturally only being able to worry, as even if she wanted to help, she was helpless to do so.

Old Man Huang Niu, twisting his gray-white eyebrows, spoke truthfully, "His situation doesn't look optimistic. At present, his soul consciousness is battling with the wraith. This wraith is formed from the death of an ancient great power, extremely terrifying and formidable."

Yu Feiyu anxiously inquired, "So what do we do now, Master? Is there really no way to help Big Brother Ye?"

Old Man Huang Niu sighed and said, "We really can only rely on him now. After all, this involves deeper matters; even I haven't reached that domain as of now. Let's hope that Lord Leader has his own good fortune."

The rest of the People of the Northwest also comforted, "Lord Leader is the Chosen One, with luck like a rainbow. Surely nothing will happen to him."

"Yes, Lord Leader will be fine. He must lead us to protect the Good Person Realm!"

Although everyone said so, it was clear that each person was very worried. After all, it was a wraith; even Old Man Huang Niu had no recourse. Our Leader is still young after all; can he truly withstand it?

Speaking of Ye Feng at this time, although he had stabilized his consciousness and was no longer sinking, the situation within the Heavenly Heart Palace was far from optimistic.

It must be said that the wraith was incredibly powerful, especially after absorbing the grievances from over two thousand years ago. This human-shaped vengeful spirit had become terrifyingly strong, to a degree which Ye Feng's current level of spiritual power simply could not contend with. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Once I devour you, I can... level up, and then reconstruct... reconstruct my flesh body. I will be king of this place!" The blood-red human-shaped wraith roared repeatedly, suddenly opened its mouth and charged towards the Mental Power Nucleus, apparently intending to swallow the Mental Power Nucleus in one fell swoop.

After two previous rounds of probing, the wraith had probably figured out Ye Feng's strength and knew that although this human had great talent and powerful spirit, he was not strong enough to fight back.

"Thinking of devouring me? You probably don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer. Suddenly, with a thought, the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll that was floating in the Sea of Consciousness within the Heavenly Heart Palace directly unfolded and swept over, arriving in front of the Mental Power Nucleus and opened itself in an instant.

The human-shaped wraith just happened to charge towards the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll!

The wraith had initially looked down upon the sight of the scroll, wearing a dismissive expression on its human-like face, so it naturally did not evade, only to realize its mistake a moment later.

The instant the wraith entered the Divine Path Heavenly Edict, it immediately felt as if it had plunged into a vast ocean; a deep marsh from which it could not extricate itself. The more it struggled, the deeper it sank and the stronger the bindings became.

"Damn it, what is this thing? Why can it imprison me, trap me inside?" the wraith screamed repeatedly, letting out a strange and powerful cry.

Indeed, if they were outside, ordinary martial artists and cultivators—anyone below the Golden Core Realm—would have their spirits disordered upon hearing its cries, and those with weak wills might even turn mad on the spot.

However, the human-shaped wraith was now completely trapped inside the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll and was not only unable to escape, but its voice could not be heard outside either.

Ye Feng sneered coldly and said, "What is this? You might as well ask King Yama when you get to the Underworld. Actually, no, the landscape here is quite special, and the evil aura is extremely strong. After you died, your soul couldn't reincarnate, which is why you became this wraith. Now that the wraith is destroyed, you don't even have the chance to go to Hell and be reincarnated!"

While speaking, Ye Feng's gaze hardened. He immediately exerted himself to manipulate the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, and in a flash, beams of Xuanhuang color radiated from the scroll.

Bundles of light poured out, and the wraith's body immediately emitted a hissing sound as if it were burning. Then, a thick smoke rose from the wraith's body, accompanied by its hysterical screams of agony.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, have mercy, let me go. I submit, and I will be, I will be your servant from now on!" the wraith screamed repeatedly.

"Your malevolence is too heavy, and your methods, too powerful. If I let you go now, it would be difficult to capture you again later. So, you'd better obediently be refined, become my nourishment!"

Ye Feng said sternly and coldly, his expression unmoved. With the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll binding his opponent, he was not afraid of the wraith's desperate struggle.

As thick smoke continued to rise, the wraith was constantly being refined. Soon its human form was completely burned away, leaving behind a drop of the most pure golden energy.

"Goodness, there's actually one drop! I've refined so many grievances before, but I'm afraid they don't add up to even one-fifth of this golden energy!" Ye Feng was incredibly excited in his heart.

As they say, fortune favors the bold. Although letting the wraith charge in was somewhat risky, it turned out he had made the right bet.

After all, if he hadn't tricked the wraith inside and instead used the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll to defend, it would have been difficult to trap and completely refine the opponent.

Having refined the wraith, Ye Feng simply continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed, planning to absorb the drop of golden energy to maximize the enhancement of his strength. The place seemed relatively safe for the moment, and with Old Man Huang Niu acting as protector, even if they encountered powerhouses from the Four Great Powers, there was no need to worry.

And as he absorbed the drop of golden energy, although there was no change in Ye Feng's cultivation aura, his Mental Power Nucleus grew significantly larger in the blink of an eye. Moreover, his originally black Mental Power Nucleus had now taken on a black and gold color.

"Phew..." After completely absorbing the drop of golden energy, Ye Feng let out a long breath and then opened his eyes.

"Big Brother Ye, you're finally awake. Are you alright? That's great!" Seeing Ye Feng regain consciousness, both Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu were overjoyed.

Ye Feng nodded and smiled, "I'm fine now, sorry to have worried you."

Old Man Huang Niu's face also finally showed a smile, saying, "Thank heavens and earth, our new Lord Leader, you are finally out of danger. If anything unexpected had happened, we would have been consumed with guilt. I wouldn't know how to explain it to Old Long."

The other dozen-plus People of the Northwest also bowed and said respectfully, "We are eternally grateful to Lord Leader for your intervention. We will forever remember this kindness."

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "We're all on the same side. No need for such formalities!"

Just then, Ye Feng's gaze sharpened, and he huffed, "Someone's coming."
