The wisp of Soul Origin belonging to the Emperor Realm merged into Xiao Heng's body like a drop of ink. Though it was only a single drop, it was enough to tint an entire vat of water.
That milky white soul energy fell into the Sea of Consciousness, sending out faint ripples. Then, an even purer, grander, holier aura began to emanate from within the Sea of Consciousness.
Outside, Xiao Heng regained control of his body and refined that Soul Origin. Only after sensing the changes in his soul power did he understand just how difficult it was for a soul to break through into the Emperor Realm.
An Emperor Realm soul did not require any origin of heaven and earth, but it did require Soul Origin of an extremely high level. If he had to condense such origin himself, even with Xiao Heng's talent, it would take at least several hundred years. But now, he no longer needed to.
In other words, the Soul Origin left behind by the Yellow Springs Demon Sage had saved Xiao Heng at least several centuries. He already possessed Emperor Realm Soul Origin. Next, he only needed to evolve all of his soul power to that level.
This was not merely an increase in quantity, but the most fundamental transformation of soul power itself. Once he crossed this threshold, his soul power would be vastly different.
The transformation had only just begun, yet Xiao Heng already felt his soul power become at least thirty percent stronger. Once the process was fully complete, he would crush every soul power beneath the Emperor Realm.
No wonder that thing, the Yellow Springs Demon Sage, had been able to persist for so many years even after exhausting its origin. Its Emperor Realm soul had played no small part
