Chapter 748 A Foregone Conclusion
In the process of gathering around Jake, some of the disciples belonging to the Imperial Realm could
not stand the force of the collective souls and their spiritual souls became detached from their Soul
Sea. Needless to say, they were all swallowed by Jim and became a part of his dainty feast. Having
absorbed so many spiritual souls, Jim''s strength had upgraded multifold. He had be extremely
tough now and it would be almost impossible to vanquish him.
After all of the disciples who had the ability to break through the attacks of those souls had gathered at
his side, Jake ordered them to strike back at Jim. "Strike!" he eximed.
Jake pointed to the pir next to him andmanded the disciples to attack it. All of the cultivators
concentrated their vital energy at their hands and began striking at the pir with all their might. They
were at the edge of life and death and none of them could afford to conceal their true capability.
Altogether, they were made up of four fighters from the Master Realm and over ny from the Imperial
Realm. All of them unfolded their vital energy force and demonstrated it at the highest state. Like a
toon, they struck simultaneously at the pir.

The massive, enormous vital energy waves that formed from the united force of all the disciples shot
out and charged towards the pir. Progressively, as it pierced through the air, the collisions generated
heat and wrapped the vital energy waves in a golden hued nket.
The waves hit straight on the pir and generated an earsplitting sound. The impact was so loud that
for a moment, people went numb, and were unable to hear a single thing except a constant shrill,
piercing sound.
The pir began to wobble as if a deadly earthquake had struck. The cracking began to appear.
Countless fracture marks began showing up on the wall of the pir, and they spread from the point of
impact.
"The pir is not indestructible after all.
We can break it with one more blow!
Let''s strike it once more," Jake cried with passion. It was true. Like a frightened and exhausted animal,
the pir was now on the verge of destruction.
One blow would turn it into a heap of rubble.
Working as a team, the disciples carried out the second strike at the same time.
As the second strike reached the pir, it hit the pir so hard that the vibrant sound of the impact was
heard all around the pce.
With a resounding bang, the pir imploded and copsed. Its fall created clouds of dust and nketed
the air.
"It broke!" one of the disciples cried excitedly. Their first sess boosted their confidence and morale.
Since the pir had been destroyed, there was no ce the ck chains could find support and sustain
themselves. They began to shrink and atst, fell to the ground and dispersed into the thin air.
Jake''s instincts about the ck chains were right. The chains were really supported by the pir that
once the pir was broken, they could no longer exist.
They were filled with renewed hope of getting out of the ce alive. They beamed with anticipation.
"Don''t stop!
Keep striking other pirs to eliminate the ck chains. The more ck chains we destroy, the more
hope we obtain to escape from this hell!" Jake said, fusing inspiration into every disciple.
His words were invigorating enough to brace all the cultivators up.
Now that the n had beenid out, they knew the way to take out those ck chains. In a few
minutes, another pir was destroyed.
Such a turn of events was not a good sign for Jim.
He raged with unadulterated hate at Jake. "Jake, how could you have incited these people here to go
against me and destroy the Sacrifice Array that I spent so many years inpleting? I trained you for
so many years and this is what you pay back in return? You are so disappointing a disciple!"
Jim''s shadow drifted between the pirs as he barked. He was so furious that his face contorted from
his intolerable hate.
However, Jake was not one to be deceived or provoked. Heughed dryly at him. "Old thing, you think
you can cheat me? How ironic of you to have the cheek to mention about cultivating us!
I am afraid that it was just fate that me and my two fellow brothers got lost and entered into your pce
by ident and became your disciples. You have always had the intention of killing us one day. It is
just that you needed help building your pce before. Besides, as our spiritual souls had not cultivated
enough to satisfy you, you did noty hands on us.
Actually, we were like prisoners, like pigs that are kept in the pen. You fed us and caged us, only to
have us get fat and provide you meat. All you cared about were our spiritual souls and not us. You are
an ugly, heartless devil!"
By this moment, Jake revealed Jim''s cruel character and let his inner feelings out. The rtionship
between Jim and Jake of a master and disciple hadpletely fractured.
Jake''s words irked Jim even more. Grinding his words through his teeth in fury, he started barking. "No
matter what I was up to, it was I who nurtured you and turned you into excellent fighter now.
Don''t forget that you were merely in the premium stage of Imperial Realm when you first came to my
ce.
If I didn''t provide you with cultivation resources and taught you the cultivation skills, how do you think
you would have had the chance of upgrading to the Master Realm?
You ruined my pce when you were supposed to pay back to my kindness and favor.
All three of you, you are even worse than dogs. Even dogs know to fawn over their owners in gratitude
of food. I am not letting you slip through my fingers. You deserve to be cut into pieces.
You silly bastard, you think that by destroying those two pirs you can stop my entire Sacrifice Array?
That is foolish of you!
Let me see how many pirs you can destroy. To tell you the truth, I have hundreds of these pirs that
you have just destroyed. You can go on and continue as long as you like. When you have spent all of
your energy, that is the time when I enjoy consuming your spiritual souls," Jim taunted.
After saying that, Jim pointed to the altar. Upon receiving his orders, the souls that were drifting in the
white mist began to float around and surrounded the disciples. As they moved towards the disciples,
along with their movement, the white mist stirred around and formed clouds of mist that gave them a
hazy, mysterious aura.
In the fight with those souls earlier, the warriors had found the souls to be furious, aggressive
creatures. They knew when to strike forward and when to retreat almost like they were intellectual
human beings.
But now, after receiving Jim''smand, all of the souls began engaging themselves in a crazy,
irrational suicide act. They were like killing machines without brain and thought. All of them rushed
towards the cultivators with the only goal of killing them.
Each time those in front were extinguished, the ones behind them would immediately rece the spot
and take over the attacks. There were five souls constantly attacking them at the same time and the
strike carried on.
The souls, like a group of well-trained, disciplined army of special force, did not make the fight easy for
the disciples. Starting on the back foot, the disciples found it difficult to deal with the attacks that the
souls were relentlessly sending at them.
In a few minutes, more than ten Imperial Realm fighters were walloped to death and were being
detached from their spiritual souls. Needless to say, Jim engulfed all the spiritual souls.
In the meantime, the ck chains began attacking too. Their whipping got more and more violent every
minute.
For the disciples, their chances of surviving looked bleak. They were clearly panicking and were
fumbling to block the attacks with their weapons.
"Everyone, hold on! Keep attacking the pirs!" Jake shouted out to gather everyone''s strength
together.
The remaining fighters had be numb from the intense fights, and had almost epted their fate.
With renewed passion, they charged at the pir with all their might. Every time they destroyed a pir,
the ck chains that tangled around disappeared.
Every time the ck chains disappeared, the overwhelming pressure and tension in their heart eased a
bit.
Sure enough, attacking the pirs was a way out for them as it could weaken the strength of the
sacrifice array.
Even so, it was not an easy task for them because of the numerous quantity of the pirs. Given the
circumstances, fighting both the souls and the ck chains with their skills was not an ideal tactic and
would not be much of a help. The mortality rate of the disciples was still on the rise.
asionally during the fight, there were fighters of the Imperial Realm being knocked out by the blow
of the chains and swiftly dealt with by Jim after their spiritual souls were detached from their Soul Seas.
In just about ten minutes, there were already about thirty Imperial Realm cultivators who were put to
death.
The shadow of Jim, as it continued to devour the spiritual souls of those cultivators, began to grow
Progressively, as the umtion of the spiritual souls inside him grew, the fake, bleary shadow
vibrated and gradually turned into an almost real, tangible human body.
A quite opposite state of events was being experienced by every one as the quantity of the fighters of
the Imperial Realm continued to decline. As a consequence, more strikes were needed for them to
destroy a pir together and they started to feel the exhaustion.
The consumption of the vital energy in a day had already exceeded its limit. There was just simply no
way they could demonstrate their best capabilities at the moment.
Sensing the smell of imminent sess, Jim became rxed and cocky. "Hah-hah, how do you feel
now? The result is imminent. No matter how hard you try to fight it, it is useless.
Why don''t you just drop your meaningless resistance and begin to do your final prayers before your
death? Instead of struggling in vain, you should consider to rx andpose yourself before I eat
your spiritual souls.
As for my three dear disciples, letting you die earlier is too mean and heartless of a deed for me. Don''t
worry! I will keep you for thest, until you have said farewell to each of your friends and watched them
die. Then finally, it would be your turn. Before all the others are devoured by me, you three are safe
and sound."
Noting that he now held a substantial advantage over them, Jimughed out loud. His vaunting
After he had absorbed the spiritual souls of more than a hundred fighters of the Imperial Realm, his
body''s strength had increased to a great extent and he felt he could no longer feel the wounds he had
gotten before.
He came to the conclusion that the victory of his sacrifice array was beyond inevitable.
He thought that once he had seeded to eliminate all the fighters of the Imperial Realm and
absorbed their spiritual souls, the spiritual souls would provide him with sufficient, strong vital energy.
That would put him in a superior position to confront the remaining two fighters of the Master Realm.
