Old Devil Xu had survived countless life-or-death battles. The moment his vigilance stirred, he immediately unleashed his killing intent.
He shot out of the stone cave like a cannonball. The massive stone slab blocking the entrance shattered into crumbs like rotten tofu in an instant.
Xu Yi hurtled away, covering a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye. His escape speed was nearly twice that of someone at the Mid Soul Sensing Stage. In an instant, every pore on his body opened, and True Fire Malice spread across half the sky like flowing flames.
The Ghost Worm abruptly woke up. It was astonishingly fast, and seemed on the verge of escaping the sea of fire. But the flames suddenly scattered. Startled, the Ghost Worm froze in midair. It had no idea that, just then, the scattered flames would instantly converge again, turning it to ash.
The sea of fire's transformation was another great boon Xu Yi had gained upon attaining the rank of Yin Venerable.
The Yin Soul captured the Earth Soul and forged it into a True Soul. Bathed in the Qi Sea, the Fire Gang Malice became imbued with the power of the True Soul, transforming into True Fire Malice.
Compared with Gang Malice, True Malice was denser, easier to control, and more powerful. Most importantly, imbued with the power of the True Soul, True Malice could be wielded at will, like one's own thoughts.
Imagine a mid-stage Soul Sensing cultivator and a Yin Venerable facing off, attacking each other with nothing but killing intent. Even setting aside the difference in the power of their killing intent, the Yin Venerable's killing intent could transform in countless ways, as if he had mastered the strongest profound art. How could a mid-stage Soul Sensing cultivator possibly stand a chance?
