A terrifying shockwave, far exceeding that of the Sixth Level of the Martial Master Realm, exploded outwards from Xiao Han, actually slightly slowing down the momentum of the blood-red spear for a moment! Under the impact of this immense power, his cultivation bottleneck shattered instantly, like paper!
Seventh Level of the Martial Master Realm!
Golden dragon energy and pitch-black void power intertwined and cleansed wildly within his body. On the petals of the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul, wisps of mysterious pale golden dragon patterns appeared, each unfolding seemingly stirring the pulse deep within the earth.
The illusory image of the Eternal Night Void Emperor Martial Soul behind him became even more solid. In his dark eyes, there seemed to be a river of stars flowing, and an imperial majesty that was faint yet present caused the surrounding bloodthirsty aura to retreat!
The effect of [Dragon Vein Fortune Blessing] was quietly triggered! Xiao Han felt an unprecedented and wonderful connection between himself and the land beneath his feet, and even the entire Dragon-Locking Well area.
He seemed to be able to clearly sense every breath of the mighty Dragon Vein deep underground, and with every move he made, he seemed to be able to draw upon a wisp of the immense power of the earth vein for his own use!
At the same time, a flood of profound information about the [Chaos Heavens-Opening Scripture - Earth Scroll] (fragment) poured into his mind like a tidal wave. Countless insights into the application, bearing, protection, and even destruction of the earth's power instantly elevated his understanding of power to an unbelievable level!
"Break!"
Xiao Han let out a long roar that shook the surrounding area! His eyes flashed with alternating golden and black light as he faced the approaching blood-red spear. Instead of retreating, he advanced! His Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul swayed gently, drawing upon the earth's dragon energy. In an instant, an incredibly solid golden dragon shadow roared out, its scales clearly defined and its dragon might vast, swirling around and protecting Xiao Han.
At the same time, the prototype of the [Eternal Night Void Realm] of the Eternal Night Void Emperor Martial Soul suddenly expanded several times in size, thanks to the surge in cultivation and the support of the Void Origin Fragments!
The thick, inky darkness instantly enveloped the Blood Young Master and the three remaining Blood Armored Martial Kings beside him! In the darkness, space distorted, perception became disordered, and even light seemed to be swallowed up.
"You bastard! Die!"
One of the blood-armored Martial Kings closest to Xiao Han was both shocked and furious to see Xiao Han break through in the middle of the battle. He roared and his blood-red battle blade surged with a monstrous wave of blood. Together with another Martial King, they attacked from the left and right, determined to kill Xiao Han on the spot!
Xiao Han's lips curled into a cold smile; he was no longer the naive man he once was!
"Roll!"
He clenched his left fist, and on the tip of his fist, the pitch-black "Return to the Ruins" fist intent and the pale golden Dragon Vein power were perfectly integrated. Faintly, there was also a trace of the profound meaning of the [Chaos Heavens-Opening Scripture - Earth Scroll] added to it! The punch was simple and unadorned, but it seemed to cause the earth veins at the bottom of the entire Dragon-Locking Well to tremble!
"Bang!"
The Martial King, sword and all, was sent flying by Xiao Han's punch. His arm bones cracked with a teeth-grinding sound, blood gushed from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and horror! The attack of the other Martial King was swallowed whole by the golden dragon shadow surrounding Xiao Han. With a dragon's roar, the blood-red blade light shattered inch by inch!
With just one move, two Early Stage of the Martial King Realm were both injured and forced to retreat!
Blood Young Master's pupils constricted, a glint of unprecedented madness and ferocity flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at Xiao Han, as if he wanted to devour him alive. "Bastard! You think you can turn the world upside down just because you've broken through? Today I'll show you what true despair is!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a fist-sized, blood-red, heart-shaped crystal from his pocket! The crystal was covered with strange blood-red patterns, emanating a nauseating evil aura and a vast life essence, and it even faintly resonated with his own [Blood Prison Senluo] Martial Soul!
"Blood God Heart Sacrifice!"
Blood Young Master's eyes were bloodshot, and he swallowed the blood-red heart crystal in one gulp!
"Gulp!"
In an instant, the veins all over his body bulged out like writhing dragons, thick beads of blood seeped from his skin, and his bones made a cracking sound as they could not bear the weight.
A powerful, evil, violent, and chaotic aura, several times stronger than before, erupted from his body! Middle Stage of the Martial King Realm... Late Stage of the Martial King Realm! His cultivation level soared to the peak of the Late Stage of the Martial King Realm in the blink of an eye, just one step away from entering the Ninth Level of the Martial King Realm!
Clearly, he used some extremely vicious and forbidden secret technique, and the price he paid was absolutely devastating!
On the altar, Lin Qingxia's breath was extremely weak, but she still clung to the last shred of clarity.
Seeing Xiao Han risk his life to save her, fighting valiantly and even breaking through in the face of death, a complex and indescribable light flashed in her beautiful eyes, which were slightly dimmed due to weakness. When she saw that the Blood Young Master had devoured the evil crystal and his aura had surged, the last trace of hesitation in her heart completely disappeared.
She clenched her teeth, and a trickle of crimson blood seeped from her pale lips.
"Xiao Han..." she called out weakly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet carrying a resolute determination to burn everything away.
At this moment, the almost transparent Extreme Ice Phoenix Martial Soul within her body suddenly burst into flames! It wasn't ordinary spiritual energy burning, but the most core and fundamental element— the Phoenix True Flame!
A tiny, yet pure, ice-blue flame, devoid of any impurities, emerged from between her brows, transforming into a stream of light that ignored the barriers of space and shot directly toward the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul in front of Xiao Han!
"Purify the evil spirits... Survive!"
These were Lin Qingxia's last thoughts.
The Phoenix True Flame, upon contact with the Chaos Green Lotus, showed no rejection whatsoever. Instead, it instantly merged into the lotus, like a swallow returning to its nest!
In an instant, a miracle occurred!
The pale golden Dragon Vein energy that originally lingered on the petals of the Chaos Green Lotus, together with the icy blue Phoenix True Flame had been integrated, and the dark void power emanating from the Eternal Night Void Emperor Martial Soul within Xiao Han's body, actually produced a mysterious and wondrous resonance!
Xiao Han felt the invisible barrier between his two Martial Souls quietly melt away at this moment! Chaos, Eternal Night, Dragon's Might, Phoenix Flame... four terrifying powers that were completely different yet subtly compatible intertwined, collided, and merged within his body in an unprecedented way!
It was as if a completely new form of power, surpassing the limits of his previous understanding, was about to be born!
"Die! Blood Prison Senluo - Myriad Soul Devouring Spear!"
Blood Young Master wouldn't give Xiao Han the chance to slowly experience this transformation! He had already seized the opportunity to push his surging power to its limit. The spear in his hand, formed from essence blood, had now grown to a hundred feet in size. Countless twisted and howling phantoms of vengeful spirits were wrapped around the spear, emitting a shrill shriek that made one's soul tremble!
This attack nearly consumed all the power he had gained after devouring the heart crystal, and even overdrawn a portion of his life essence!
