Breakthrough, Emperor Realm Soul

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30,000 Shock Points from She Qingqing.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000,000 Shock Points from the disciples of the Lion Underworld Sect.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 600,000,000 Shock Points from all sect leaders.

In an instant, saber's astonishing transformation left everyone stunned and speechless.

The stronger the individual, the higher the Shock Points earned, allowing Ye Qianqian to make a fortune.

Empowered by her sublimation, saber unleashed more of her strength. Divine light blazed above her head, and a surging, majestic kingly power filled the air, capable of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Heavenly might descended, conjuring myriad illusions.

From the heavens above, auspicious clouds gathered, and the phantoms of tens of millions of subjects bowed in unison towards saber. Hundreds of thousands of golden-armored knights knelt on either side, emitting a world-shattering cry of reverence, "My King!"

Saber closed her eyes, her entire being radiating a dazzling golden faith power.

Her kingly aura, filled with ambition and a desire for dominion, coupled with a magnanimous spirit that embraced the world, enthralled everyone. They were all captivated by this faith power, compelled to bow down.

If Shi Tian's previous demeanor was arrogant and unreasonable, saber's current display was that of an unparalleled kingly will and might.

This will was ancient, glorious, supreme, and unrivaled! Untouchable!

This might was ancient, desolate, vast, and awe-inspiring!

The golden-haired girl rested her hands on a long sword, gazing into the distance as if looking down upon her kingdom and homeland from a great height.

Shi Tian, too, was affected by this faith power, a flicker of respect rising within him. However, at his level, a Five-Turn Dou Venerate, he quickly awoke from the trance induced by this will. After a brief moment of disorientation, he erupted in fury.

"A mere trick, do not flaunt it!"

Shi Tian punched towards the sky, shattering the myriad illusions. Suddenly, the bowing subjects, the imposing knights, and the idealized homeland all vanished.

Ye Qianqian's pupils contracted. Pointing at Shi Tian, she shouted, "Watch out behind you!"

Startled by Ye Qianqian's sudden cry, Shi Tian quickly turned around, only to find nothing there. He realized he had been tricked.

But in that brief moment, Ye Qianqian and the others surged towards Shi Tian, unleashing a barrage of Dou Techniques upon him.

"Oath, Sword of Victory!"

Saber cried out, and a golden sword light, more vast and boundless than ever before, cleaved through the heavens and earth.

After being unsealed, this sword light contained an supreme sword intent, as if embodying a nation, a race, an ideal, and a beautiful future. The power of the nation's destiny was all contained within it.

Shi Tian was greatly alarmed. This power had reached the level of a Three-Turn Dou Venerate. He quickly waved his sleeve, neutralizing the power. Then, his left palm flipped violently, and he pressed down fiercely towards She Qingqing and the others rushing from below.

"Ah!"

As if a mountain weighing a hundred thousand tons had descended upon She Qingqing and Yun Shan's heads, they could barely lift them. Finally, they were forced to spit blood by Shi Tian's palm strike, crashing to the ground and creating two massive craters.

Ye Qianqian fared no better, her bones creaking and her internal organs churning with agony under Shi Tian's palm.

"Hahaha, you weak ants, do you think you can shake a tree with your might?" Shi Tian roared with laughter, his heavenly might unstoppable. "All of your insignificant lives shall surrender at my feet!"

How could mere mortals contend with the power of a Five-Turn Dou Venerate? She Qingqing's Five-Star Dou Venerate strength was no match for even one of his moves, let alone Yun Shan, who had only recently ascended to Dou Venerate.

In the sky, the battle continued unabated. Only saber, a Nine-Star Dou Venerate, could barely hold her ground, clashing with Shi Tian, but she too was nearing her limit.

Ye Qianqian inwardly cursed her misfortune. If this continued, they would all die here today. What should she do?

As she desperately sought a solution, she noticed the panicked expressions of the thousands of sect leaders present. Her eyes suddenly lit up; she had an idea.

"Lend me your Soul Power."

Activating the ability of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Ye Qianqian unhesitatingly began to strip the souls and lifespans of the hundreds of thousands present.

Everyone felt their souls and lifespans being uncontrollably drawn out of their bodies, flowing towards Ye Qianqian's location.

"Ah! My Soul Power is weakening!"

"Heavens, why have I suddenly grown old?"

"Ah, Yun Lan Ancestor, you can't do this! Give us back our lifespans!"

Everyone screamed in terror.

"All of you, shut up!" Ye Qianqian snorted coldly. She didn't care about their pleas; she was never a saintly figure. With Shi Tian's overwhelming power, only by using the Soul-Soul Fruit could she stand a chance.

Moments later, she opened her small mouth and swallowed the vast sea of souls and lifespans. Instantly, this immense soul power made her mind even clearer, bringing an indescribable sense of refreshment. She could perceive everything in the world with absolute clarity.

The scorching sun, the fragrant flowers, the lush green grass, the breathing of animals, the emotions of humans – she perceived it all.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for successfully advancing to: Emperor Realm Soul (Early Stage).

A prompt sounded, and Ye Qianqian finally understood. This breakthrough in soul power had reached the Emperor Realm.

Only after reaching the Emperor Realm Soul did the abilities of the Soul-Soul Fruit become truly effortless to wield.

Ye Qianqian reached out and pointed at the clouds in the sky. A beam of soul power shot into them, and she shouted, "Zeus!"

"Crack! Sizzle!"

One of the white clouds in the sky suddenly turned pitch black, transforming into a thundercloud capable of destroying the world. Endless lightning then descended, striking Ye Qianqian's head.

She released another ball of soul power from her right hand. The ball absorbed a large amount of sunlight, forming a small sun that radiated scorching heat capable of burning the sky. "Prometheus!"

Everyone was stunned. The massive thundercloud and the small sun seemed to come alive, with two bizarre smiling faces appearing on them.

"You, how did you do that?" Shi Tian's heart pounded in fear at Ye Qianqian's methods.

Imbuing objects with spirits, creating life – such methods were unheard of. Even a Dou Saint wouldn't be able to achieve this, right?

Who was this young girl, to possess such divine abilities?

"Hehehe, there are even more surprises for you!" Ye Qianqian chuckled lightly. The Emperor Mirror Soul was released from her body, enveloping her with a soul-shaking pressure that deterred all beings, forming a giant, round face over thirty feet tall.

As the round face opened its massive mouth, it seemed poised to devour everything. Shi Tian's small, emaciated figure was like a tiny ant before this face, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

"What is this thing? Die for me!" Shi Tian steadied his mind and unleashed a sky-shattering palm strike, engaging the round face in battle.

At the same time, Zeus, the world-destroying thundercloud, and Prometheus, the sky-burning sun, also launched a fierce assault on Shi Tian.

Streams of lightning covered the sky, waves of fire incinerated everything, and the giant round face bit down mercilessly. Shi Tian was caught off guard and fought in a sorry state.

"Roar! I'm furious!"

Shi Tian was enraged. He was a fifth-turn Dou Venerate on the verge of becoming a Saint, yet he was being forced to dodge and weave by Ye Qianqian, a mere third-turn Dou Venerate. This was outrageous!

"A mere third-turn Dou Venerate dares to act so presumptuously before me? Insolent! Insolent! Insolent! Unforgivable!"

Shi Tian roared, unleashing his Dou Qi again, pushing back the thundercloud and the small sun. A lion-headed saber suddenly appeared in his hand, and he ferociously slashed at the round face condensed by Ye Qianqian.

"Crack!"

The round face, formed from soul power, suddenly split in half like a giant watermelon. Ye Qianqian's figure was exposed.

Ye Qianqian pointed at Shi Tian again, saying, "Watch your back."

"Hmph," Shi Tian snorted. "Do you think you can trick me? Today, I will sever all your limbs and then capture you to extract the secret of your cultivation technique!"

However, this time, Ye Qianqian was not lying. Someone indeed appeared behind Shi Tian.

As Shi Tian's back split open, a fair, delicate woman's hand emerged. From the palm of this hand, several black iron rods shot out with a "whoosh," striking Shi Tian's spine. "All-Killing Ash Bones!"

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Shi Tian was impaled by five or six black iron rods in his back. His Dou Qi seemed to be disrupted, making it impossible to exert its full power.

It turned out that Kaguya-hime had arrived at the scene just in time.

After receiving Wang Ba's message this morning, Kaguya had hastily torn open a spatial portal and rushed over.

Her timing was perfect. The All-Killing Ash Bones emitted a powerful corrosive force, continuously destroying Shi Tian's bodily tissues and hindering his control over his Dou Qi.

Saber seized the opportunity and slashed at Shi Tian several times, instantly severing one of his arms.

"Ahhh, I'll bite you to death!" Ye Qianqian shrieked and pounced on Shi Tian, biting his neck. She used the Soul-Soul Fruit's deprivation ability to absorb more than half of his soul and lifespan.

Poor Shi Tian, already like a dried husk, was further weakened by Ye Qianqian's absorption of his lifespan. His body withered completely, leaving him like a bag of bones, his consciousness fading.

"Thump."

Shi Tian's body plummeted from the sky. Ye Qianqian caught him and slapped him across the face.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Come on, try to act tough with me again?"
