This troop of seemingly invincible expeditionary soldiers were, in fact, just energy bodies.
Just like the Underworld Soldiers mentioned in many Huaxia books, it was almost impossible to harm them with ordinary attacks because they were energy bodies.
So weapons and the like couldn't hurt them—only Spiritual Artifacts, these treasures imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, could cause them damage.
But Ye Ling didn't have a Spiritual Artifact. The Godslayer Stone in his hand was incredibly defiant of the heavens, but it wasn't a Spiritual Artifact.
Even so, Ye Ling was far from helpless. His Nine Nether Emperor Technique could devour everything. These unstoppable expeditionary soldiers were like fertilizer, nourishing Ye Ling.
Whoosh, Ye Ling moved, and his palms suddenly struck out, unleashing a torrent of powerful forces like a landslide, thunderously hitting out.
