Boundary-Breaking Translocation, Soul Devouring Reappears

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of light closed completely.

Xiao Han's aura also vanished completely.

"Aaaaah--I'm so angry!" The Blackwater Mystic Snake Demon Grandmaster was furious, its snake tail whipping wildly, causing the cave walls to rumble incessantly and rocks to tumble down.

The Dragon Nation elder's face was so black it could ooze ink, and he didn't utter a single word.

His intimidating aura made the entire cave tremble.

The Blood Fiend Hall steward stared intently at the spot where Xiao Han had disappeared, and after a long while, he let out a cold snort.

Three Martial Grandmaster level experts went to great lengths, even joining forces, and what was the result? It was all for nothing!

Not only did Xiao Han steal the Primordial Shadow Source Crystal, but he probably also looted all the other treasures left in the cave long ago.

Looking at the messy, almost completely leveled cave, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do about Xiao Han.

Xiao Han, that kid, successfully escaped, and his strength has increased significantly.

However, he also completely offended these three powerful Martial Grandmaster masters with intimidating backgrounds and terrifying strength.

His future path will definitely be more exciting and more dangerous.

That dark, twisted gate of light, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowed Xiao Han whole.

The power of space was tearing him apart wildly. Even though he now had some understanding of the Space Laws, he was still made dizzy and his internal organs felt like they had been displaced.

I don't know how much time passed, but that feeling of being torn apart suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Han felt a sudden lightness in his body, then with a thud, he crashed heavily onto the hard stone ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough..." He coughed up a few mouthfuls of bloody saliva in a disheveled manner, shook his still slightly dizzy head, and quickly looked around.

This is a mountain range I don't recognize at all.

A chaotic and violent spiritual energy filled the air, and everywhere there was a desolate and primal sense of danger.

Unlike the Red Ridge Mountain Range, where the spiritual energy is relatively pure and abundant, the spiritual energy here seems to have been polluted by something, making it particularly unstable.

"Finally escaped." Xiao Han breathed a long sigh of relief.

The pressure from those three old Martial Grandmasters still makes me uneasy when I think about it now.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host has successfully outmaneuvered and escaped from the pursuit of three Martial Grandmaster level experts, and has initially awakened the [Eternal Night Void Emperor] (pseudo) form of the Eternal Night King Martial Soul. The hidden conditions have been exceeded, and the system rewards are being calculated...]

[Rewards: One Boundary-Breaking Compass (a special item that allows short-distance travel between known spatial nodes; consumes a large amount of resources, use with caution!), one Soul Fusion Pill (a top-grade pill that accelerates the perfect fusion of the Martial Soul and the body, stabilizing and boosting one's cultivation level; no side effects), and increases the comprehension of the "Close at Hand, A Step to the Ends of the Earth" movement technique to the peak of Minor Completion!]

A series of system notifications immediately jolted Xiao Han awake.

The humiliation and unpleasantness of fleeing for my life vanished instantly.

"Boundary-Breaking Compass? Soul Fusion Pill? 'Close at Hand A Step to the Ends of the Earth' has also been upgraded!" Xiao Han's eyes lit up with joy.

Any one of these rewards would be a real lifesaver!

Especially the Soul Fusion Pill. He swallowed the Primordial Shadow Source Crystal, and his cultivation level rose rapidly, but his foundation was still a bit unstable. He also hadn't fully controlled the newly awakened power of the Eternal Night King Martial Soul. This pill was just the right solution.

He dared not linger in that place, so he quickly used his divine sense to explore and found a relatively secluded cave.

After hastily setting up a few warning formations, Xiao Han immediately sat down cross-legged and swallowed the glowing Soul Fusion Pill without a second thought.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, transforming into a gentle yet powerful strange energy that instantly flowed throughout his body.

Xiao Han quickly concentrated his mind and simultaneously activated the "Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art" and the "Shadow Void Scripture".

The two divine skills were like two high-speed machines, frantically refining the power of the elixir and guiding that strange energy to sort out his meridians, which had become somewhat disordered due to the surge in power.

More importantly, the medicinal power of the Soul Fusion Pill is helping his newly awakened [Eternal Night Void Emperor] (pseudo) Martial Soul to fuse more deeply with his own soul and body.

The deeper the fusion, the more proficient Xiao Han became in controlling the prototype of the [Eternal Night Void Realm].

The [Dark Realm Descent] skill, which was previously only barely usable, can now be used much more easily.

The imperial aura emanating from the very source of his Martial Soul gradually subsided, no longer bursting out uncontrollably as it had when he first awakened.

Several hours later, Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light in them that disappeared in an instant.

The aura within his body had completely stabilized at the peak of the Fifth Level of the Martial Master Realm, and it was the kind of peak with an incredibly solid foundation, only a tiny bit away from the sixth level.

The newly acquired power has been initially mastered.

"We should examine those map fragments." Xiao Han took out several pieces of tattered animal hide that he had found on the Blood Fiend Hall assassins and pieced them together.

He activated his [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eyes], his eyes gleaming with azure-gold light as he carefully examined the map.

The map is made of very old materials, and the patterns drawn on it are quite strange.

Under the observation of [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eyes], some initially blurry markings gradually became clear.

These markers eventually pointed to a huge circular valley deep within this unfamiliar mountain range.

Inside the valley, there seemed to be a place marked with special symbols, resembling the entrance to an ancient altar or ruins.

"Could it be that those Blood Fiend Hall people, besides chasing me, are also related to the place this map points to?" Xiao Han wondered to himself.

He took out the Boundary-Breaking Compass.

This compass is about the size of a palm, completely black, and covered with incomprehensible runes.

Xiao Han tried channeling a little spiritual energy into it, and the pointer on the compass wobbled slightly before finally pointing in a vague direction—the location of the circular valley marked on the map.

"It seems there really is something in that valley." Xiao Han put away his compass and decided to go take a look.

Fortune favors the bold!

Furthermore, the connection between the Primordial Shadow Source Crystal and his Eternal Night King Martial Soul gave him a vague feeling that there might be something he needed in that valley.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Han quietly left the cave and, following the directions of the map and compass, made his way towards the valley.

Just as he had sensed, most of the strange beasts in this mountain range had indeed mutated.

They were not only stronger than other beasts of the same level, but their attack methods were also more bizarre, and they exuded an unsettling, chaotic aura.

On the way, he encountered a giant mutated toad, the size of a small mountain, covered in dark green pustules, which was at the Sixth Level of the Martial Master Realm.

The venom spewed by that giant toad can even corrode rocks; even Seventh Level of the Martial Master Realm would have a headache if they encountered it.

Xiao Han merely swayed, dodging the venom like a shadow under the faint influence of the nascent [Eternal Night Void Realm].

Immediately, a solid Green Lotus Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip, accurately piercing the demon core hidden inside the giant toad's head.

They encountered another pack of mutated demon wolves, their bodies engulfed in eerie blue flames and moving with terrifying speed.

There were dozens of them, all of them possessing the strength of the Martial Master Realm at the fourth or fifth level.
