Chapter 1269: Chapter 329: The Main Force Arrives

Realizing this, a flash of insight struck Ye Lingyue’s mind.

"Di Shen, I suspect these Vajras are not flawless. They all have a vulnerable spot; if we can find it, we can defeat them. Do you have the confidence to hold off nine Vajras, leaving just one Bronze Vajra and one Silver Vajra for me?"

As an Artifact Refiner herself, Ye Lingyue knew that even intermediate Elixir Puppets like the Ghost Doll she crafted were not without imperfections.

For example, the Ghost Doll required Ye Lingyue’s spiritual power for support; without it, the Ghost Doll was akin to a lifeless object.

In terms of grade, these Bronze Vajras are only low-level Elixir Puppets, while Silver Vajras are somewhat better, but at most just intermediate War Puppets. Thus, they must have a vulnerable spot.

"Wife, I can still hold on—six hours should be manageable."

Di Shen gave Ye Lingyue an apologetic glance.

He had clearly stated he would protect his wife always, yet now he had made her worry.

As long as he endured for six hours, he could still pass through the Vajra Formation, but he would not acquire the Puppet Book.

This situation was clearly not what Ye Lingyue and Di Shen wanted.

"There’s only twelve Vajras now; I suspect there are more below, even stronger ones. We must find the vulnerable spot of the Vajras. Besides, it’s not that I doubt your abilities; I’m just concerned for you."

After saying this, Ye Lingyue blinked.

Such mushy words were the first for Ye Lingyue, and after speaking them, she couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

But this last phrase, "concerned for you," went straight to Di Shen’s heart.

His eyes immediately brightened, his mouth curving into a silly grin.

In Di Shen’s mind, he kept replaying the phrase—his wife was concerned for him, his wife finally knew to care for him.

"Alright, wife, whatever you say goes. I’ll go hold off the nine remaining Vajras; be careful."

As he finished speaking, Di Shen’s step technique changed.

Sword in one hand, fist in the other.

His swordsmanship was like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, his fist technique like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. In an instant, he exuded an aura that could swallow rivers and mountains, charging into the midst of the Vajras like lightning.

Amid deafening roaring blasts, Di Shen’s fist sent five Silver Vajras reeling, while his sword swung away with a howl, turning into a storm, forcing back four Bronze Vajras so they couldn’t advance.

The lone Silver Vajra and Bronze Vajra confronted Ye Lingyue.

Though Ye Lingyue was a Martial Artist, she was ultimately not as imposing as Di Shen. Her martial arts weren’t as fierce and powerful as Di Shen’s, so she couldn’t face the Vajras head-on.

But Ye Lingyue excelled in movement technique and spiritual power.

The two Vajras, towering in stature, attacked from left and right towards Ye Lingyue.

The Bronze Vajra let out a loud roar, swinging a wolf-toothed mace at Ye Lingyue.

"Blink Shield."

Ye Lingyue’s mind concentrated, and her spiritual power blocked the Bronze Vajra’s attack.

The Silver Vajra followed closely, with several Corrosive Soul Chains facing Ye Lingyue, like Spirit Snakes, tightly entwining the Silver Vajra.

"Perfect opportunity."

Ye Lingyue’s movements were agile like a slippery fish, sticking close to the Vajra. In her palm, the black Cauldron Breath from the Qian Cauldron transformed into black smoke, sweeping towards the Silver Vajra.

Since absorbing the Cauldron Name, the black and white Cauldron Breaths had become much more robust.

The black Cauldron Breath’s destructive power had become even more impressive.

Ye Lingyue initially thought the black Cauldron Breath would quickly dissolve the Silver Vajra. To her surprise, once inside the Vajra, the breath surged about heedlessly like a headless fly, failing to dissolve it.

"How could this be? Could it be that these Vajras are indeed seamless, without a flaw?"

Ye Lingyue was greatly surprised.

"Impossible, there must be a vulnerable spot. Where could it be?"

Ye Lingyue tightly controlled the Silver Vajra with her spiritual power.

Yet on the other side, the other Bronze Vajra persistently attempted sneak attacks on Ye Lingyue.

"I’ve found it! The eyes!"

At the moment Ye Lingyue was at her wits’ end, a moment of clarity struck her mind.

The black Cauldron Breath within the Silver Vajra concentrated on attacking its eyes.

Boom—

The Silver Vajra exploded, scattering into fragments.

"Di Shen, I’ve found it—the Silver Vajra’s vulnerable spot is in the eyes. Strike there!"

Ye Lingyue spoke swiftly, guiding the black Cauldron Breath into the Bronze Vajra.

In an instant, another muffled explosion resounded.

"The Bronze Vajra’s vulnerable spot is the navel."

Upon hearing this, Di Shen immediately understood. A cold light flashed across his eyes as he simultaneously moved his left-handed sword and right-handed fist.

He shouted lowly, and in the next moment, sword light shot out like lightning, piercing fiercely towards the eyes of those Silver Vajras.

His fists sounded with multiple bangs, bursting forth.

Amidst a series of sounds akin to exploding firecrackers, the repeatedly unbeaten Vajras consecutively erupted.

The twelve Vajras, shattered into fragments in just a moment.

Panting heavily—

Though successful in defeating the twelve Vajras, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were quite exhausted.

Especially Di Shen, who had been battling for over three, nearly four hours.

Had it not been for his extraordinary physique, any other ordinary Martial Artist or even a Divine Power Realm expert would have been long worn down and perished.

"Di Shen, we..."

Ye Lingyue’s face shone with joy.

Just as she was about to step forward, inside the Vajra Formation, flashes of light flickered. In the once-empty Vajra Formation, suddenly appeared six new Vajras.

Unlike the previous six Bronze Vajras and six Silver Vajras, these newly emerged Vajras gleamed with golden light—they were Golden Vajras.

Compared to the earlier Vajras, these Golden Vajras exuded an even more daunting presence, wielding snake-shaped golden spears.

Among them, one Golden Vajra was adorned with resplendent spiritual patterns, his body surrounded by Primordial Power, stronger than any Vajra before him, even surpassing the combined strength of the earlier Bronze and Silver Vajras.

Evidently, this Golden Vajra was the leader of the Eighteen Vajra Formation.

Upon witnessing the chaos strewn throughout, the Vajra’s eyes glinted with golden light.

He lifted his golden spear, mumbling some ancient spells.

The spells from the Vajra’s mouth flowed faster and faster, as they did, the fragments of the Vajras that Di Shen and Ye Lingyue had defeated began to quiver, gathering anew like resurrected dead grass, forming a brand new Eighteen Vajra Formation.
