Refining Soul Origin

Facing the Heavenly Tomb Soul face showed terror, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing more. He raised his palm, which was glowing with black and white flames, and grabbed at the former from afar. Instantly, a terrifying suction force formed in his palm. Suddenly, violent fluctuations came from the Heavenly Tomb Soul's huge mouth, as if something was being forcibly pulled out.

"Xiao Xuan, you're asking for death!"

The Heavenly Tomb Soul roared furiously, and the entire Heavenly Tomb trembled under its roar. With its giant mouth open, an invisible Soul Spear hundreds of feet long shot out, tearing through space and fiercely shooting towards Xiao Xuan.

"My strength has recovered somewhat, and with the help of the Heavenly Flames, you cannot stop me."

Despite the resistance of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, Xiao Xuan remained calm. He smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and gently clenched it. The Soul Spear that had been hurtling towards him with sharp sonic waves suddenly stopped. Then, with a flick of Xiao Xuan's sleeve, it turned around and reflected back at the Heavenly Tomb Soul with an even more ferocious impact. The spear was even stained with the black and white Yin Yang Dual Flames.

"Call out!"

The spear reflected with incredible speed, almost instantly transforming into a streak of fire that pierced through the giant face. The Yin Yang Dual Flames on the spear ignited as if they had encountered dry firewood! "Ah!"

Fireworks filled the air as the Heavenly Tomb Soul let out a shrill scream. In the past, if it were a normal fight, it would be wary of Xiao Xuan but not afraid. However, Xiao Xuan was no longer a remnant soul but possessed a complete soul body. Therefore, in the special environment of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan's strength could be regarded as that of Nine Star Dou Sheng. Even if Gu Yuan came in here, he would not gain any advantage!

Moreover, the Heavenly Flames is extremely lethal to a soul with such a complex composition!

In the sky, the giant face of the soul was engulfed in black and white flames. Finally, the giant face rapidly shrank, and at the same time, waves of frenzied soul impacts burst forth from its body, turning the world upside down. All Energy Body were terrified and fled far away from this area, fearing that they would be caught in it and suffer the fate of being annihilated.

The sea of fire formed by the Yin Yang Dual Flames protected Xiao Yuan within it. Although the soul impact was extremely strong, it was extremely difficult for it to bypass Xiao Xuan's protection and harm Xiao Yuan.

"Xiao Xuan, I will not let you get away with this!"

The giant face shrank in the flames, and after a while, it transformed into a human-like figure with scarlet and furious eyes staring intently at Xiao Xuan, its killing intent surging.

Xiao Xuan paid no attention to the Heavenly Tomb Soul's fierce but cowardly roar. He simply clasped his hands together and quickly formed a series of complex and intricate hand seals. As his hand seals changed, streaks of black and white flames suddenly shot out from his fingertips, eventually intertwining in the sky to form a huge array. At the center of that array was the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the great formation was completed, before the Heavenly Tomb Soul could react, countless fire lines began to fall from the formation. With a series of hissing sounds, the fire lines pierced through the Heavenly Tomb Soul and bound it within the great formation.

"Boom!"

Faced with the predicament before him, the Heavenly Tomb Soul struggled frantically. Waves of soul energy, powerful enough to kill Xiao Yuan, bombarded the entangled fire lines like cannonballs. However, those seemingly thin fire lines had a great restraining effect on soul power. No matter how strong the soul impact was, it would quickly fade away and eventually turn into nothingness when it came into contact with the fire lines.

"Although I can't reach my peak strength, I'm still about 70-80% of the strongest in the Heavenly Tomb. If I still can't deal with you, then you're underestimating me, Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan glanced at the frantically struggling Heavenly Tomb Soul, smiled faintly, his voice not loud, but it had its own kind of power. The supreme expert of that time, even now only a soul, still had a domineering aura.

"Xiao Xuan, let me go! We can discuss anything you want!"

After struggling for a long time to no avail, the Heavenly Tomb Soul softened its tone considerably. It understood that Xiao Xuan was now far more powerful than it, and being stubborn was useless; it might as well try begging for mercy.

"There's no need for that. What I want is the Soul Origin, so you will die today!"

Xiao Xuan's tone was icy as he responded to the Heavenly Tomb Soul's soft words. Crimson-gold Clan Mark appeared on his forehead, and his aura became even more terrifying! Then, he changed his hand seals, and the countless fire lines that had pierced the Heavenly Tomb Soul began to slowly pull downwards. As the fire lines were pulled, a crystal-clear circle of light, about ten feet in size, was slowly pulled out from the Heavenly Tomb Soul's body.

As soon as a corner of the crystalline halo was revealed, dazzling light poured down from it.

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

"Is this the Soul Origin of the Heavenly Tomb Soul?"

"Roar!"

As the Soul Origin was forcibly pulled out, the Heavenly Tomb Soul let out a roar like a wild beast, but the phrase "a cornered beast fights back" was clearly not applicable to it.

However, his shouts had no effect whatsoever. Xiao Xuan didn't even glance at it. His hand seals changed rapidly, and the force of the fire line grew stronger and stronger. In the end, most of the crystalline halo was forcibly torn away from the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

"Xiao Xuan, I'll fight you to the death!"

Feeling its power rapidly draining away, a resolute look appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Tomb Soul. Immediately, its body shone brightly, and flames flickered within it—it had been forced to spontaneously combust its soul! "Snap!"

However, just as flames began to rise on its body, an incomparably domineering palm print descended from the sky and slammed into its face. The immense force sent it flying. At the same time, the perfectly round, crystalline halo was also pulled out of the Heavenly Tomb Soul's body with a "poof." Xiao Yuan watched from the side, his scalp tingling.

Judging from its power, that palm print was actually a Heaven Rank Battle Skill!

This level of Dou Technique requires Xiao Yuan to accumulate power before he can use it, but Xiao Xuan can do it with ease.

Nine Star Dou Sheng is truly terrifying!

"No! Give it back to me!"

The Soul Origin was forcibly extracted, and a feeling of weakness immediately filled the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul. It roared madly and charged towards the Soul Origin.

However, Xiao Xuan simply waved his sleeve, and a terrifying gust of wind directly blasted the extremely weakened Heavenly Tomb Soul back, causing it to fall to the ground.

As the Heavenly Tomb Soul landed on the ground, the Energy Body in the distance suddenly turned bloodshot, their eyes flashing with hatred. Finally, with a low, hateful roar, they burst forth, frantically unleashing their attacks on the extremely weakened Heavenly Tomb Soul.

"Ah!"

The weakened Heavenly Tomb Soul was naturally unable to withstand such a number of attacks. Therefore, not long after, a shrill scream resounded throughout the world as its body was torn to shreds. A remnant soul, filled with anger and resentment, rose up and finally dissipated with the wind.

As the Heavenly Tomb Soul dissipated, the blood-red eyes of the Energy Body on this land became much clearer. When they looked at others again, their desire to devour them also dissipated. After a long while, almost all the Energy Body knelt down respectfully in front of Xiao Xuan in the sky.

Xiao Xuan ignored the actions of these Energy Body. A crystal-clear halo about ten feet in size floated in front of him. He turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan, who was protected by the sea of fire, and smiled slightly, "How about it? My methods did not disappoint you, did they? However, whether you can break through to the Emperor Realm Soul depends entirely on your own fate."

"Ahem, Xuan Ge'er, some of the advanced Dou Technique of our Xiao Clan have been lost. You must teach me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan touched his nose, then leaned forward and said.

"Hehe, you've got quite the ambition, kid. Go ahead and refine and absorb it first!"

Xiao Xuan chuckled, then flicked his finger, and the crystalline halo in front of him slowly floated down, its dazzling light emanating from it like a warm sun.

Xiao Yuan gazed at the crystalline halo floating before him. The vast soul power emanating from it was as unfathomable as the ocean. Before such soul power, even his soul, which was at the Mid-Stage Heavenly State, seemed quite insignificant. The Heavenly Tomb Soul was condensed from the remnant souls of countless powerful beings after their deaths, and the soul power it possessed could only be described as terrifying.

"Good!"

Xiao Yuan also had a strong desire for the legendary Emperor Realm Soul.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, then stepped directly into the dazzling light circle. Instantly, the light flashed and engulfed Xiao Yuan's entire body.

In the sky, Xiao Xuan's body was slightly illusory. He had actually consumed a lot of energy in that last wave, but now that his soul was intact and he had Xiao Yuan's Soul Nourishing Pearl as support, he would be able to make up for the loss in a short time.

"Perfect, while I'm protecting you, I can also wait here for the other little one!"

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, then sat cross-legged outside the circle of light. His calm gaze occasionally swept across the ground, and under his gaze, all the Energy Body hurriedly looked away and retreated far away. The Soul Origin of the Heavenly Tomb Soul was extremely tempting to them, but this temptation vanished directly under Xiao Xuan's intimidation.

After all, even if they all attacked together, they couldn't withstand a single slap from Xiao Xuan.

Those who are truly powerful fight in such a simple and unpretentious way.

This is a boundless Soul Ocean, where waves surge and roars seem to emanate from the very souls.

Xiao Yuan's figure hovered in mid-air above the ocean. His gaze was fixed on the sea below, his eyes filled with deep shock. The halo seemed small, but it contained a whole different world. The boundless ocean before him was entirely formed from the power of souls! Such vast and terrifying soul power was something Xiao Yuan had never seen before in all these years. Compared to this sea of souls, his soul, which Mid-Stage Heavenly State, was as insignificant as a small stream.

However, the Heavenly Tomb Soul has already dissipated, and the soul power here is now ownerless. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but swallow. He didn't know if he could reach the Emperor Realm in one step this time, but he was certain that reaching the Heaven Realm Great Perfection was 100% enough!

It should be noted that with just his soul at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, he was already capable of contending with a powerhouse around the level of Two Star Dou Sheng! Of course, because his physical strength was insufficient, Xiao Yuan would still suffer some losses when dealing with powerhouses above the late stage of the Two Star Dou Sheng.

Regardless of the circumstances, after this, Xiao Yuan will undoubtedly be able to reach the pinnacle of the Douqi Continent! The fortune that Xiao Xuan bestowed upon him is truly immense.

Xiao Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes becoming increasingly resolute. Since that was the case, he really had to take a gamble on that Emperor Realm Soul!

"The passage of time here is different from that in the Heavenly Tomb."

After sensing it for a moment, Xiao Yuan's eyes showed surprise. He discovered that because the soul power here was too dense, it had actually changed the speed of time. The speed of time here was much slower than in the Heavenly Tomb.

It's practically the ultimate Heavenly Tomb among Heavenly Tomb!

"Call!"

Xiao Yuan let out a long breath and then calmed his mind. Such a vast Soul Ocean was not easy to refine! Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged in mid-air, and then his body slowly descended, landing on the surface of the sea. The soul power between his brows surged out rapidly, and then with a low shout, it transformed into a huge phantom nearly a hundred feet long. The phantom enveloped Xiao Yuan and also sat cross-legged.

The next moment, five flames flew out from the depths of Xiao Yuan's soul, transforming into a five-colored fire ring that encircled Xiao Yuan's enormous soul phantom. The Five-Colored Flames spread out from within, completely enveloping Xiao Yuan's entire body.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force emerged from the depths of his soul, and then from the Soul Ocean below, columns of soul water hundreds of feet in size were continuously drawn up and poured into the enormous soul phantom!

"Hiss!"

The seemingly tangible pillar of soul water erupted with a series of boiling sounds upon contact with the Five-Colored Flames on Xiao Yuan's body. Dense white mist rose up and eventually transformed into a cloud, obscuring Xiao Yuan's enormous soul phantom.

The soul power here, though vast and boundless, is actually somewhat mottled, after all, it is the Heavenly Tomb Soul condensed from the souls of countless powerful beings after their deaths. However, this is not a problem for Xiao Yuan, who possesses five Heavenly Flames.

With his Control Fire Technique, refining it to its purest form wouldn't be difficult.

As time went by, turbulent waves began to rise on the Soul Ocean, rumbling incessantly across this land.

Xiao Yuan's soul power also began to grow steadily, slowly progressing towards that legendary realm.
