Chapter 1457 - The Power of Martial Souls
The Grand Unity Sect's sudden declaration of war left everyone utterly bewildered. The battle broke out without the slightest warning, and only a small number of onlookers could truly see what was going on.
The Heavenly Dao Society had laid its arrangements specifically against the Grand Unity Sect and the Divine Alchemy Sect. Once these plans fully took effect, the two sects would find themselves trapped in a nightmare. Liu Wuxie had many ways to bring them down, and he didn't need to slaughter them all to destroy them—that would be the crudest option. He could ruin them just as thoroughly by striking directly at their core.
The Grand Unity Sect had repeatedly tried to kill him, so he naturally had no intention of letting them fall easily. He would sever their revenue, bleed their resources dry, and unfold a series of schemes that would gradually grind the entire Grand Unity Sect into decline. Even the spectators could now discern Liu Wuxie's intention, to say nothing of Elder Yan and the other elders of the Grand Unity Sect.
As a result, the Grand Unity Sect understood that they had to kill Liu Wuxie at all costs, even if it meant staking their lives. No one believed the Heavenly Dao Society could mount any meaningful resistance against such a colossus.
As long as they locked Zhuge Ming and the other powerhouses down and kept them from intervening, the Divine Alchemy Sect and the Giant Spirit Hall would surely kill Liu Wuxie.
Yet the situation did not unfold as they had imagined. The Divine Alchemy Sect and the Giant Spirit Hall indeed drove Liu Wuxie to a critical point, and their combined strike had already closed in on him.
By the time their attack fell, Liu Wuxie merely uttered a single command, and over a hundred light spheres shot into the sky. Among them, Shen Tian's martial soul shone the brightest, bearing the cultivation of the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Not good!" Elder Yan and the others finally realized that something had gone terribly wrong.
Shi Yuan had previously mentioned that Liu Wuxie could control martial souls, but he had never said that Liu Wuxie could forge them. Back in the sevenfold heavens, Liu Wuxie had mainly controlled martial souls rather than creating them.
Although Liu Wuxie had, in fact, engraved martial souls before, no one had been present to witness it. Even when he later controlled Blackwind Beasts, it still wasn't the same as openly crafting martial souls.
"Let me show you the power of martial souls!" Liu Wuxie's voice echoed from within the Universal Gourd.
Everyone in the vicinity heard him clearly, but many cultivators looked utterly confused, as this was the first time they had even heard the term martial souls.
