Soul Emperor Awakening

Wei Song stood as unyielding as a pine tree, deeply rooted before Lin Xuan, letting no one pass. He wielded his formidable Earth Elemental Power to its fullest extent. He was incredibly strong—with a father that powerful, the son was bound to be strong as well.

"No one gets through!" Wei Song watched them coldly. ’So what if they’re the Liao Brothers? I’ll stop them all the same!’

"A little interesting. You think you’re so tough just because you’ve made some progress in your Cultivation of Earth Elemental Power?" Having been thwarted, Liao Sheng was clearly displeased. He sneered at Lin Xuan and said, "Since the world calls us the Liao Brothers, our battles naturally involve both of us attacking. That is our true strength!"

"Let’s end this ridiculous fight," Liao Yuan said with disdain. "With your meager strength, you’re not even worth mentioning in our presence!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the two of them charged forward simultaneously, their speed and footwork astonishingly in sync. With their identical faces, it was as if they were doppelgangers. But then, in the blink of an eye, a clone actually split off from each of them at nearly the same time, instantly turning them into four people!

Not only that, but they split once more. However, they didn’t become eight, but six. Six identical-looking Liao Brothers, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. It was utterly bewildering.

There wasn’t a hint of fear in Wei Song’s eyes, nor did he retreat. Instead, he abruptly brandished his long spear, unleashing the Earth Elemental Power within his body in a wild swing.

"Earthquake Heaven and Earth!"

As he unleashed the violent power of his Celestial Level Martial Arts, several earthen walls shot up, completely enclosing him and Lin Xuan to form a perfect fortress. It was like a set of impenetrable shields had been erected before them.

"Petty tricks!"

Liao Sheng snorted coldly. The sharp claws on his hands emitted a dazzling light, shimmering with golden Elemental Power—the unstoppable Golden Elemental Power. An unstoppable force versus an immovable object. Who would emerge victorious?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The six figures struck at the same time, viciously thrusting their sharp claws into the earthen walls. This triggered a series of violent explosions. As the Golden Elemental Power blossomed, the thick walls of earth began to dissolve, melting away like rapidly thawing ice.

To think all six figures could attack—the Illusions weren’t just for show! For the Liao Brothers to have gotten this far, they didn’t just have a powerful master; they possessed formidable abilities of their own. Otherwise, they would never have survived this long.

"Scram!"

With a furious roar, Wei Song’s long spear suddenly burst through the earthen wall. Its tip unleashed a blast of Earth Elemental Power that shot toward the Liao Sheng in front of him.

Liao Sheng’s expression changed in alarm. He swiftly crossed his arms to block, but with a loud BOOM, he was sent flying once again. The moment he was knocked back, Wei Song swung his spear sideways, heavily smashing it into the Liao Yuan beside him.

The ferocious blow felt like a mountain crashing into their chests, sending them flying. Liao Sheng suffered an internal injury; he tasted a metallic sweetness in his throat as a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

Immediately after, the four Illusions vanished. Wei Song had actually hit the real bodies! To think he could fight one-on-two without falling behind in the slightest—his ability was truly impressive.

"Brother, we underestimated him..." Liao Yuan wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes filling with a crimson glow as rage surged within him.

"Yes, we underestimated him. I can’t believe he broke that technique." Liao Sheng’s expression was grim. ’If our master finds out about this, he’ll give us a hell of a tongue-lashing.’

’Our Cultivation levels are about the same. The crucial part is that there are two of us, yet we were beaten back by a single person. This is an absolute disgrace.’

"It’s useless!" Wei Song’s fighting spirit soared. ’Even though all six figures could attack, it wasn’t hard for me to tell which ones were real. I just put up a sturdy earthen wall. Under their assault, the attacks from the real bodies were obviously more powerful. It was easy to tell the real from the fake based on that.’

To be able to accomplish this in a one-on-two fight was truly extraordinary.

"It seems we can’t afford to be careless. Even a tiger uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. It’s time to end this."

Liao Yuan and Liao Sheng snorted coldly. Suddenly, they both released a golden light that connected them before they began to merge. Instantly, Wei Song felt their combined aura surge dramatically!

"Split!"

Liao Yuan roared. In an instant, a golden radiance flashed from their merged form. In the blink of an eye, ten clones appeared before Wei Song. Not only had their number increased, but each one looked nearly identical, shrouded in a golden glow.

"Earthquake Heaven and Earth!"

He once again summoned the thick earthen walls, tightly enclosing them.

Seeing him use the same old trick, Liao Yuan and his clones sneered. "Using the same move on us again? You’re just asking to die!"

The ten figures charged forward, the sharp claws on their hands now coated in a Golden Film that made them even more dazzling. In perfect unison, all ten swung their claws, unleashing ten pillars of light that viciously pierced into the earthen wall!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A terrifying golden light flared, instantly obliterating the thick earthen wall. At that same moment, a spear thrust out from the dust, but it didn’t strike a real body—only a clone that was sneering back at him!

Wei Song froze, realizing his attack had missed. A moment later, a chilling attack stabbed at him from the side. He was too slow to pull his spear back to block, so he could only roar and swing his palm to meet it. Thick, hard Earth Elemental Power erupted, forming a layer of condensed Armor over his arm!

It was similar to a Golden Dragon’s Dragon Scale, though far inferior in hardness.

As expected, the Armor was pierced in the blink of an eye. It managed to cushion the blow slightly, but the sharp claw still sank into his arm, piercing almost halfway through!

Wei Song hastily pulled his arm back and scrambled to retreat, ignoring the wound. But before he could evade, another sharp claw stabbed out—this time, aimed at his chest.

The relentless assault gave him no time to react. Their auras were concealed perfectly; by the time he sensed the attack, it was already upon him. This was the terrifying thing about the Liao Brothers—their aura concealment was so good it made them completely undetectable.

"Brother Lin, I hope you can really pull through. I can’t hold on any longer. I’ll be going on ahead..." Wei Song gave a faint smile. "Old man, it looks like I won’t be able to make you proud..." His words were spoken with a nonchalant air, tinged with reluctance, but filled mostly with a sense of self-sacrifice.

In the nick of time, a powerful hand grabbed his shoulder and yanked him back. They retreated several meters at blinding speed, dodging the fatal blow in the blink of an eye.

"You are Uncle Wei’s pride, and it is my honor to know you." Lin Xuan’s voice came from beside him. Wei Song whipped his head around to meet Lin Xuan’s pair of deep, azure eyes!

’Lin Xuan... he succeeded in his absorption!?’
