An Unremarkable Spirit Ascension

Chapter 50

Xie Xie and the others did not dare make a sound.

They were terrified of drawing attention.

When immortals fought, mortals suffered.

Either Na'er or Gu Yue could easily crush them!

Meanwhile, Su Qiu had already quietly retreated behind everyone.

When two women were arguing over you, do not even think about persuading them. It would not work no matter who you sided with.

The best solution was to run. Running was always right. If you were not there, they would have nothing to argue about. It would be meaningless.

The Rending Sky Screaming Vulture Spirit appeared in an instant, grabbed him, and flew away, leaving behind an instruction. "Gu Yue, look after everyone. If you encounter any danger, remember to notify me."

In this forest, Gu Yue was not only formidable herself, but could also contact Su Qiu through the elements at any time. With her guarding the team, Su Qiu was at ease.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Na'er stopped arguing with Gu Yue and hurriedly crashed into the dense forest, charging recklessly in the direction Su Qiu had left.

The Demon Child descended upon this Soul Beast forest once more!

Na'er charged all the way forward. Trees fell when they blocked her path, and Soul Beasts were sent flying when they stood in her way.

The remaining few looked at one another.

Gu Yue merely sighed helplessly. Na'er had utterly disgraced her as the Silver Dragon King!

Not far away, a pair of figures—one male and one female, one older and one younger—could not help looking up.

The male was a young man of seventeen or eighteen. Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings circled him, clearly marking him as a Soul Elder.

He held a snow-white staff with a blue crystal embedded at its tip. A dense yellow aura of Soul Power enveloped his body as he vigilantly watched his surroundings. The Riot Spirit Ascension Platform was extremely dangerous; every step could be fatal.

Behind the young man followed a little girl of around nine. Her light-blue hair was braided, and her features were exquisitely beautiful.

She held a smaller Ice Staff of the same design, with only one yellow Soul Ring.

Fear filled her adorable face as she looked toward the bird that had flashed through the distant sky. Her lips parted slightly, and her voice trembled. "Brother... th-that, what is that?"

With her brother protecting her, she had reassured herself before entering that nothing would happen.

Yet after truly entering, she still could not stop herself from being afraid.

"Just a Soul Master courting death," Xu Xiaoyu replied disdainfully. Only Soul Elders could enter at most, so in his eyes, it was merely a Soul Master with a flying Soul Skill.

In the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform, that person had not only failed to hide himself, but had instead exposed himself in the sky, right before the eyes of every Soul Beast and Soul Master.

It was no different from courting death.

"Oh, oh." Xu Xiaoyan was still rather confused. So it was another Soul Master? Only then did she recall that there seemed to be a figure beneath that great bird.

Today, the Soul Beasts of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform welcomed their doomsday.

From above, everything lay in full view.

After locking onto every visible Soul Beast—

Su Qiu said nothing and simply unleashed Wind King Hammers.

The Rending Sky Screaming Vulture flapped its wings and hovered amid the clouds.

Su Qiu stood high in the sky, Sword of Promised Victory in hand.

Soul Power surged around him like a flood.

With a raised hand, Wind King Hammers carried shrieking winds that tore through the air as they crashed toward the ground like meteors.

At the same time, the Holy Sword hummed. Fierce Sword Qi slashed out in intersecting arcs, weaving together with the howling wind hammers to form a deadly net of attacks.

Wherever the wind hammers landed, Hundred-Year Soul Beasts were instantly smashed into pulp, their spiritual energy exploding in clusters.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the hard scales of Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were as fragile as paper. They were easily cut apart, their massive bodies splitting open as enormous amounts of spiritual energy burst forth.

From high above, howling winds and Sword Qi intertwined across the ground, while explosions and the wails of Soul Beasts rose one after another.

The once-active herds of Soul Beasts fell in swathes, while halos of spiritual energy surged and blossomed through the forest like a sea of purple flowers.

"I'm coming! Brother, wait for me!"

Na'er's figure burst through the dense forest. Soul Power surged beneath her feet, and she charged forward like a raging torrent.

The enormous phantom of the Golden Dragon destroyed everything that obstructed her path.

Whether trees or Soul Beasts—

The moment they drew near, they were torn apart by the phantom behind her.

Su Qiu glanced at Na'er chasing below and called for the Rending Sky Screaming Vulture to slow down, but the attacks in his hands did not cease.

Wind King Hammers and Sword Qi struck in tandem. At times, the wind hammers crushed down, knocking entire groups of Soul Beasts unconscious.

At other times, Sword Qi made precise cuts, locking onto fleeing high-level Soul Beasts. The efficiency far exceeded that of a single form of attack.

The spiritual energy released by Hundred-Year and Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was of average quality.

But if quality was lacking, quantity would make up for it.

His powerful Mental Power spread outward, enveloping everything.

Under its pull—

All the spiritual energy surged madly toward him, forming a spiritual energy vortex almost visible to the naked eye.

The Rending Sky Screaming Vulture greedily absorbed the spiritual energy, its aura rising at a visible rate.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyu and his sister, who had only just made their way into the depths of the forest, were already scared out of their wits.

They hid behind a huge boulder, staring helplessly at the youthful figure in the sky standing high above like a Deity.

The vortex of spiritual energy rising from the ground into the sky filled nearly half their vision. The pressure made it difficult for Xu Xiaoyu even to breathe.

"B-Brother, who... who exactly is he?"

Xu Xiaoyan clutched tightly at Xu Xiaoyu's clothes, her voice trembling beyond recognition and her adorable little face pale as paper.

"Brother, let's leave quickly."

She had never seen such a terrifying Soul Master. The winds and Sword Qi filling the sky were simply unprecedented.

If those attacks hit them, would they not be blown to pieces?

Xu Xiaoyu's face turned livid. His Adam's apple bobbed several times before he managed to force out a few words. "Aren't only three-ring Soul Masters allowed to enter?!"

With strength that could change the color of heaven and earth, you were telling him this was a three-ring Soul Master?!

Could the three rings I cultivated be fake?!

Not a trace of his earlier arrogance remained in his heart. Only deep fear was left.

Just moments ago, he had mocked the other party for courting death. Now it seemed that the ones truly courting death were himself and anyone who dared enter this area.

He hurriedly pulled Xu Xiaoyan away, fleeing far into the distance.

The attacks were too terrifying, and their range was too great.

If they were caught up in them—

Xu Xiaoyu was certain they would die instantly. The kind where they would not even have time to make a sound.

In the distant woods, Tang Wulin and the others were carefully making their way forward.

Suddenly, the dense explosions and Soul Power fluctuations coming from ahead brought them to a halt.

The earth-shaking commotion stopped them in their tracks.

"That noise is coming from Brother Su's side, right?"

Xie Xie's eyes lit up as he stood on tiptoe and peered toward the source of the sound.

Though countless dense trees blocked his view, preventing him from seeing what was happening—

That world-shaking pressure still reached them from far away, leaving him clicking his tongue in amazement.

"My god, did Brother Su wipe out all the Soul Beasts in the entire forest in one go?"

Wang Jinxi swallowed, his face full of astonishment. "This is way too terrifying. No wonder Teacher Wu always held Su Qiu in such high regard. So this is how terrifying Brother Su is when he goes all out."

Zhang Yangzi rubbed his hands together, his face filled with excited anticipation. "Things are different with Brother Su around. Once he is done, we can ride his coattails and advance our Thousand Year Soul Spirits!"

"Just thinking about it gets me excited. By then, I'll have a Thousand-Year Soul Ring too!" As he spoke, he could not help gesturing, as though he could already see his Soul Ring evolving.

Tang Wulin looked toward the source of the noise, a trace of longing and determination flashing in his eyes. "Brother Su's strength is astonishing. We need to work even harder to improve ourselves. We cannot keep relying on Brother Su."

He tightened his grip on the Blue Silver Grass in his hand. "While Brother Su has drawn most of the attention, we should find some suitable Soul Beasts to train against and gather some spiritual energy."

What I mean by modifying the power scaling is improving the spectacle.

Setting Battle Armor aside, Su Qiu could now more or less instantly kill a Soul King and fight a Soul Emperor to a draw.

This was what a Soul Emperor's display of power looked like.

For a Soul Saint, the spectacle would undergo another qualitative transformation.

But that would not affect the protagonist fighting above his level. He would still fight as many levels above as he was meant to.
