A strange change in attitude, the heavenly dew secured

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi stopped wasting words, raised his hand and pointed sharply into the void.

Boom!

An intensely fiery aura burst forth from his fingertips.

The Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame.

The flames expanded wildly at an astonishing speed as soon as they appeared.

Ink black, Silverblue, dark purple, and gray flames intertwined and surged, while a thick, blood-red membrane tightly enveloped each tongue of fire.

Five-colored flames.

With the blessing of the Genesis Soul Source Slaying, the aura of this Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame is far more powerful than before.

Under the subtle pull of those fourteen strands of Dao Resonance, the five-colored flames were twisted into one, so solid that they were almost dripping with molten lava.

"Go!"

Lin Yi suddenly waved his hand.

The five-colored flames instantly transformed, exploding into a massive, all-encompassing net of fire, like a net covering the sky and earth, descending upon the gatekeeper.

Wherever the fire net passed, even the void itself was scorched and distorted violently, emitting a sharp, teeth-grinding whistling sound.

The gatekeeper clearly knew the gravity of the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, it clasped its hands together abruptly, simultaneously unleashing twenty strands of Dao Resonance to their fullest potential.

In the palm of his hand, a dazzling, blindingly dark purple-black ball of lightning was rapidly taking shape.

The lightning sphere was constructed entirely of highly concentrated lightning paste, with purplish-black electric snakes dancing wildly on its surface. Each arc of electricity would tear a very fine crack in the void.

Then, it suddenly pushed.

"Boom!"

The purplish-black lightning ball, carrying monstrous thunderous energy, resembled a world-destroying dark star, and fiercely met the five-colored fire net head-on.

Fire and thunder collided with a deafening roar in mid-air.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

The moment the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame made contact with the lightning sphere, it immediately enveloped it and began to devour it.

The five-colored flames frantically tore at and devoured the ball of lightning plasma, attempting to absorb it and turn it into fuel for continued burning.

However, this time, the absorption was not fast.

Above the purplish-black lightning ball was a thick barrier formed by twenty strands of Dao Resonance. Under its suppression, the devouring power of the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame was greatly reduced.

The two attacks remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

"Call..

The gatekeeper visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As it continuously poured in Chaos Power to replenish the energy consumed by the ball of lightning, it chuckled and said, "Heh, these crooked methods are useless."

"How long can your Soul-Rending Source Slaying -Depleting Technique last? It's better to give up now and go back to cultivating properly; that's the right path."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi secretly felt relieved.

"It's safe."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, what he feared most was that even with the blessing of the Soul Source Slaying, the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame would still be extinguished in one blow by the two thousand strands of Dao Resonance from the gatekeeper.

If that happens, this battle will be completely hopeless.

After all, the difference in their Dao Resonance is undeniable.

Don't be fooled by the fact that fourteen strands are only six strands apart from twenty strands. It's like a 200-pound boxer facing a 140-pound boxer—it's a crushing difference.

Normally, this six-strand difference would be enough for the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame to be crushed the moment it made contact.

But now...

"This cultivation technique created by the Emperor is indeed top-notch."

Lin Yi secretly admired him.

Although the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame devoured the ball of lightning at an appallingly slow speed due to its inferior Dao Resonance.

But thankfully, it wasn't extinguished; instead, it continued to devour other things.

Since they're already devouring everything, this battle is practically won.

The most terrifying aspect of the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame is never its initial power, but rather its characteristic of growing stronger with each attack, a phenomenon where one power diminishes while another diminishes.

"As for how long the Soul Source Slaying Energy can be maintained?"

Lin Yi sneered inwardly.

"Heh, anyway, it lasts longer than my Chaos Power."

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to waste any more words with the gatekeeper. He simply snorted and, with a thought, increased the output of the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame.

This forced the gatekeepers to increase their supply of Chaos Power to the lightning orb.

Time slipped away, bit by bit, in this silent standoff.

At first, the gatekeeper seemed confident of victory.

With a mocking expression, it steadily protected the lightning ball with twenty strands of Dao Resonance, continuously injecting Chaos Power into it, confident that Lin Yi would collapse on his own soon.

However, gradually, its expression changed.

It discovered that the creature in front of it seemed completely unaffected, continuing to consume the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame.

This isn't right.

A hint of surprise flashed in the gatekeeper's eyes, and the output of Chaos Power involuntarily increased.

After some time, that surprise turned into doubt and uncertainty.

Because the lightning orb was being devoured and weakened at an alarming rate, while the five-colored fire net had expanded to nearly three times its previous size.

With this ebb and flow, the speed at which it injected Chaos Power to replenish the lightning orb began to fall behind the speed at which the sea of fire was engulfing it.

"How is this possible? Is this still Soul Source Slaying? How can it last so long? Could it be that for this battle, they're willing to burn away their original comprehension...?"

The gatekeeper's pupils suddenly contracted.

It seemed as if it had suddenly thought of something.

Then, to Lin Yi's astonishment, it raised its hand and gently waved it towards the ball of lightning.

The lightning ball dissipated with a roar.

"Um?"

Lin Yi was taken aback.

He instinctively became alert.

Something's not right.

Something's really wrong.

The gatekeeper should clearly still have some strength left.

With its twenty strands of Dao Resonance, even if it were to fight me like this for half a day, it would not be a problem at all.

But why did it suddenly give up?

"Could it be that he knew there was no hope of winning, so he gave up on his own?"

The thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but he didn't let the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame directly engulf it.

On the contrary, with a thought, he summoned back Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame, tightly surrounding his body, assuming a posture of full defense.

This was an instinct he had acquired through countless battles on the Frontline the Black Mist Sea.

Something unusual must be going on.

Who knows if the gatekeeper is planning something else?

"What? You're not playing anymore?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. "Does that mean I won?"

The gatekeeper did not answer immediately.

It simply hung there silently in the void, its deep purple eyes staring intently at Lin Yi.

A moment later, it suddenly bowed slightly.

"Yes."

"You... you won."

As soon as the words were spoken, its figure vanished like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind.

Lin Yi was stunned.

"So decisively?"

He murmured to himself, somewhat surprised and doubtful.

After all, the guards at the first two checkpoints weren't so polite.

He forced his way through the first trial by relying on his Soul Source Slaying, and the gatekeeper even made sarcastic remarks to him at the end.

In the second trial, although the gatekeeper himself conceded defeat, he still carried a hint of arrogance, as if saying, "I misjudged you," and was not nearly as serious as he is now.

But this time...

"They actually bowed?"

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more something seemed off.

The gatekeeper clearly looked down on winning through "unorthodox" methods like using War Soul Source Slaying.

Why are you being so polite this time?

"Could it be... related to the unusually long time I spent using Soul Source Slaying this time?"

Lin Yi frowned, his mind racing.

Soul Source Slaying is a cultivation technique created by the Emperor.

And this Constant Source Summit was also built by the Emperor himself.

The gatekeeper's drastic change in attitude must be related to some kind of connection between the two.

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more he felt there must be something fishy going on.

But before he could continue to think about it, that grand and indifferent voice rang out precisely on time, interrupting his thoughts.

"Trial participant Lin Yi has passed the third level of the Constant Source Summit."

"You have gained 100,000 points for passing the Points and 100,000 Points, for a total of 200,000 Points."

Two hundred thousand!

Lin Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

Including what he had left before, he now has a Points of 302,000 points!

All the oddities, the formalities, the Emperor's secrets—in that instant, he forgot them all.

"Who cares what the reason is!"

Lin Yi screamed inwardly.

"Only the Points in hand are real! Only the Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew in hand is real!"

At that moment, his heart began to pound wildly.

"Exchange for Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew!"

Lin Yi practically shouted it out.

The moment the voice faded, the number on the Points balance screen jumped, shrinking from "three hundred thousand and two thousand" to "one hundred and two thousand".

At the same time, a drop of crystal-clear celestial dew, radiating endless divine light, appeared out of thin air before him.

That drop of dew, no bigger than a thumb, seemed to illuminate the entire space with crystal clarity.

Within the dewdrop, there seems to be an endless flow of Tao and principle; the flickering of each ray of light is as if an endless universe is born and dies within it.

Lin Yi hurriedly absorbed the drop of Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew into his Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom within the body.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged, holding the drop of Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew in his palm.

Then he closed his eyes and slowly wrapped his Soul Power around it.

The moment his Soul Power touched that drop of heavenly dew, an indescribable, boundless power surged into the depths of his Soul Origin.

"Hiss...

Lin Yi trembled violently.

Cool!

That was awesome!

This feeling of pleasure is ten or even a hundred times stronger than when I first took the Violet-Azure Light Crystal!

The Violet-Azure Light Crystal elevated his soul comprehension to the Early Constant Source Realm.

This Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew is going to propel him directly to the Constant Source Realm Completion, almost a leap of a major realm!

If the Violet-Azure Light Crystal was like polishing a long-sealed window in front of him until it shone brightly, then the Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew was like completely lifting the fog of chaos in front of him!

Lin Yi felt that his Soul Origin was undergoing a terrifying transformation.

Those Chaos Origin Law patterns that he had once struggled to grasp were now surging towards him like a tide.

"This... this..."

Lin Yi was so shocked he could barely speak.

He hasn't even ignited his Spiritual Enlightenment Qi yet!

The mere increase in soul comprehension brought about by consuming the Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew had already made his perception of the Chaos Origin Law clearer than ever before.

Those Origin Law running deep in the chaos were no longer towering mountains that he had to bend over to climb, nor were they riddles so obscure that they made him question the meaning of life.

They are clearly visible.

It's about to burst forth!

What delighted Lin Yi even more was that the difficult questions that had troubled him for so long when he had only grasped 9.5% of the knowledge now seemed to melt away automatically, like ice and snow meeting spring.

"I see!"

"So this is what this pass is like!"

Why didn't I figure that out before?!

One epiphany after another exploded in his mind like a machine gun.

Those bottlenecks that had held him back for so long, those problems that had puzzled him for countless Epoch, were all solved in this moment.

Lin Yi's excitement was beyond words.

"Holy crap..."

He cursed inwardly, "It's this good even without using Spiritual Enlightenment Qi?"

"What if we also use Spiritual Enlightenment Qi?"

Once the thought popped into Lin Yi's head, he could no longer suppress it.

Almost instinctively, he ignited the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi deep within his Soul Origin.

"Boom!"

Purple flames roared up.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt as if he had been forcefully pressed into a vast ocean composed of Chaos Origin Law by an invisible hand.

The whole world became incredibly clear.

The patterns of those Chaos Origin Law, at this moment, were like living streams that he could play with in the palm of his hand, laid out clearly before his eyes.

"Simple...

"Too easy!"

"Is this what it feels like to be one of the true top geniuses of the Cosmic Sea?"

Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded.

He never imagined that comprehending the Chaos Origin Law could be so easy.

In this boundless clarity, he suddenly, as if possessed, recalled the various insights he had gained while comprehending the Dao Origin Atlas over the past six hundred thousand Epoch.

The lingering echoes of Dao Resonance that he had buried deep in his memory suddenly exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited.

An indescribable flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

"This...

Lin Yi was deeply shaken.

He seemed to have grasped something again.

It was something he had vaguely sensed in the Dao Origin Atlas of the second and third layers, but had never been able to truly grasp.

And now, it's right before our eyes!

Lin Yi dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing all his attention on that spiritual light.

A moment later.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he couldn't help but laugh.

Just now, with the help of the transformation of his soul comprehension brought about by the Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew, and the lingering insights accumulated from comprehending the Dao Origin Atlas over the previous six hundred thousand Epoch, he actually comprehended a wisp of Dao Resonance!

At this moment, his Dao Resonance increased from fourteen strands to fifteen strands!

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yi finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Keep going, keep going!"

He suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"I'll see how far I can go in one go!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward and stepped into the silver-white light gate that had appeared out of nowhere, without looking back.
