Soul Transformation

Bodhi Ancient Tree Space.

As the Heavenly Flames rose before Xiao Ming, they emitted an extremely terrifying temperature, causing even the space reinforced by the Bodhi Ancient Tree to begin to melt.

Even the Evil Tree Spirit that branched off from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which were the primary targets of the refining process, showed signs of dissolving as they trembled.

As it gradually dissolves, wisps of Clear Qi emanate from the Bodhi Ancient Tree. This Clear Qi condenses and does not disperse, drifting towards the Evil Tree Spirit and accelerating its purification process.

Half a month has passed.

The Evil Tree Spirit has been almost completely purified, and its Clear Qi has greatly increased. The hidden resentment within it, which was like a bone-deep sore, has been dissolved by the Clear Qi.

The Evil Tree Spirit, which had previously resembled the Bodhi Ancient Tree, transformed into a large, Green Crystal Halo, from which dazzling light poured down.

Xiao Ming was bathed in this light, and a warm feeling welled up from the depths of his soul. At this moment, he seemed to hear his soul's almost greedy cry.

"Is this the Soul Power transformed from the spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree Spirit...?"

Xiao Ming muttered to himself, "The Tree Spirit the Bodhi Ancient Tree is similar to a human soul to the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself, and it's not someone who hasn't seen the world."

When they destroyed the Hall of Souls Branch, they obtained some Soul Origin from the Hall of Souls. However, compared to the light before them, that level of Soul Origin was insignificant. The purity of the latter far surpassed that of the Hall of Souls's Soul Origin.

Moreover, this ball of light possesses an indescribable and peculiar effect that cannot be achieved by the mere Soul Origin.

Qing Lin and Zi Yan were also enveloped by the ball of light, feeling the attraction emanating from their souls, and they also felt that Xiao Ming's previous decision was good.

If the person sitting in front of them wasn't Xiao Ming, they would have all been tempted to snatch it.

At this moment, the Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed its branches, its dense canopy rustling, its joy self-evident.

Immediately, the branches of the Bodhi Ancient Tree twitched and gently touched the green halo in front of Xiao Ming, splitting the halo in two.

One of the clusters was absorbed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and in an instant, the Bodhi Ancient Tree grew another three zhang taller, and the rising Clear Qi became much denser.

The other one was flicked gently by the twig, and the crystalline halo in front of it slowly floated down, its dazzling light constantly emanating from it, like a warm sun.

Xiao Ming gazed at the crystalline halo floating before him, the strange Soul Power emanating from it filling his eyes with fervor.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ming stood up and respectfully bowed to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

This substance is also highly beneficial to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, yet it only gives away half of it, showing that the Bodhi Ancient Tree is truly a generous benefactor.

Although this was something they had agreed upon beforehand, in the dog-eat-dog world of the Dou Qi Continent, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's character is extremely rare. Perhaps this is also related to its low intelligence.

But no matter what, Xiao Ming got a great deal.

After performing the ritual, Xiao Ming did not hesitate. He took a step and walked directly into the dazzling light circle. Instantly, the light flashed and swallowed Xiao Ming's entire body.

As soon as he stepped inside, before he could even react, a strange Soul Power, like a tidal wave, surged forth, and Xiao Ming was instantly surrounded by a green ocean.

This is an endless ocean, where waves surge and roar, seemingly emanating from the soul.

Although the light orb given by the Bodhi Ancient Tree was only half full, it contained a hidden secret. No wonder even Dou Di would try to extract the Tree Spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree back then.

If word of this were to get out, the powerful figures across the entire continent would likely go crazy. After all, if they could refine these powers, their souls would inevitably reach a terrifying level!

Immersed in it, Xiao Ming couldn't help but reach out and scoop a handful of "seawater." A rich source of power immediately appeared in his palm, and then, to Xiao Ming's astonishment, it quickly disappeared.

It didn't simply vanish into thin air; rather, it entered Xiao Ming's Xiao Ming and became nourishment for strengthening his soul.

"Hehe, it seems my breakthrough to the Emperor Realm is now a sure thing!"

Xiao Ming smiled, then gradually calmed his mind. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his body slowly descending to the sea surface. His Soul Power surged forth from between his brows, and with a low shout, it transformed into a massive phantom hundreds of feet tall. The phantom enveloped Xiao Ming, who also sat cross-legged...

Raging Black Flame began to emanate from the enormous phantom soul, eventually transforming it into a fiery figure, with terrifying heat permeating the space.

"Boom!"

Just as Xiao Ming's soul phantom was enveloped by the Heavenly Flames, the Soul Ocean he was in suddenly roared, and a huge vortex thousands of feet long formed below it. The overwhelming seawater, as if subjected to a violent pull, began to transform into water columns hundreds of feet long, continuously impacting the huge soul phantom.

"Hiss!"

The seemingly tangible pillars of soul water slammed heavily onto the illusory soul image. However, as soon as these pillars of soul water came into contact with the Heavenly Flames, they emitted a series of hissing sounds, and a thick mist rose up, eventually turning into a cloud of fog that obscured Xiao Ming's enormous illusory soul image.

The body can directly absorb the power here, but in order to make it more stable, Xiao Ming refined the Soul Power integrated into his body to the purest level, so he used Heavenly Flames to temper and refine it again.

This was not a difficult task for Xiao Ming.

Above the vast ocean, enormous columns of soul water, like giant pythons, leaped continuously from the surface, finally pouring onto the soul phantom sitting cross-legged between heaven and earth.

As the mist erupted, obscuring the sky, it also caused a shimmering light to gradually flow across the enormous phantom. From afar, it resembled a divine statue standing between heaven and earth, exuding overwhelming pressure.

Such refining efficiency was enough to shock many people, and as time went by, the Soul Ocean was also churning with turbulent waves, rumbling incessantly throughout this world.

As Xiao Ming refined and absorbed the energy with an almost whale-like ferocity, the pressure emanating from Xiao Ming soul grew increasingly terrifying. His surging Soul Power was gradually approaching that legendary realm at a measured pace...
