The turmoil surrounding the Soul Hunting Competition gradually subsided. The Continental Demon Extermination Alliance began operating amid many stumbles, with the various factions cleaning up their own ranks while jointly purging Holy Spirit Cult strongholds, achieving some results.
Ling Yun, meanwhile, asked Ning Fengzhi for an absolutely quiet place to cultivate in seclusion. He began focusing on his training, digesting the gains from his battles against Holy Spirit Cult experts while breaking through the level-sixty bottleneck and condensing his fourth Origin Soul Ring.
Although his battle against the three Purple Robe High Priests had seemed easy, it had in fact been fraught with danger. The strange deathly energy, undead spells, and the terrifying Undead Sacrifice at the end had all given him a deeper understanding of negative energy and soul attacks. The inclusive and purifying traits of the Chaos Dragon God Martial Soul had also been greatly tempered in that battle.
Inside the secret chamber, Ling Yun sat cross-legged, sinking his mind into the sea of qi within his dantian.
The drop of dark-gold Origin True Liquid formed by the Chaos Dragon God Martial Soul churned violently like a boiling ocean. Three great Origin Soul Rings revolved around it, radiating vast fluctuations of law. After successive fierce battles and steady accumulation, his Soul Power had long reached its critical point; all it needed was one final push.
He recalled every clash with the King of Slaughter, the Snow Empress, and the Holy Spirit Cult experts, comprehending the collisions and fusion of various laws—power, slaughter, ice and fire, death, and more. The path of the Chaos Dragon God encompassed all things, and these insights were nourishment for its growth.
"Chaos evolves, all things are born and perish... The fourth soul ring shall be... the Ring of Devouring and Transformation!"
