"How dare this guy be so arrogant?" Seeing the Lord Moyan meet his attack head-on without dodging or avoiding, a flash of anger appeared in Lu Yan'an's eyes. No one wants to be looked down upon, and the Lord Moyan's actions were simply a complete disregard for Lu Yan'an's soul techniques!

Lu Yan'an gazed at the Lord Moyan from afar. His eyes shone with an incomparably dazzling light, captivating all who beheld them! His previously restrained attack subtly unleashed itself. His eyes seemed to transform into two eternally burning stars, and an invisible soul-shaking force, infused with Heart Power, swiftly penetrated the Lord Moyan's mind. Within its mind... a new world suddenly appeared!

Peng!

"Interesting. So it's a dual attack of will and consciousness. No wonder it works on those soulless beings! This special energy that rushes straight towards the will, besides Spiritual Force, must be the truth behind your illusion technique, right?" To everyone's surprise, the Lord Moyan had withstood the "Great Freedom Dream Realm" attack head-on, seemed completely unaffected. He stared intently at Lu Yan'an and asked impatiently.

"Monster!" Upon seeing this, cold sweat beaded on Lu Yan'an's forehead!

The fact that the Lord Moyan accepted the "Great Freedom Dream Realm" so easily was definitely beyond his expectations. What was even more terrifying was that the Lord Moyan could easily detect the existence of Heart Power, which had almost never happened before!

"Lord of Heavenly Heart, the overall strength of your move is around the fourth tier, almost a nemesis of soulless life forms! However, it's not enough to deal with those powerful individuals protected by Soul-type Supreme Treasure!" The Lord Moyan commented on Lu Yan'an's "Great Freedom Dream Realm" move. "By guiding and constructing an ideal world through that mysterious power, you can unconsciously become addicted. Coupled with the effect of Will Impact, it's no wonder you were able to single-handedly defeat the Machine Race so badly!"

The Lord Moyan instantly pointed out the essence of the "Great Freedom Dream Realm," and his words were full of praise for Lu Yan'an. After all, in a battle between the strong, even if one is only immersed in it for a single breath, one would probably be killed. And the weaker ones would not be able to escape from the world constructed by their Heart Power at all.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" After a moment of silence, Lu Yan'an asked with considerable difficulty. He could sense that the Lord Moyan seemed to have no ill intentions towards him; even the illusion he had just used against him seemed to be merely a test! But lacking information, he really couldn't figure out what this guy was up to.

After listening to Lu Yan'an's question, the Lord Moyan simply smiled slightly, "You are still too young. Grow up properly! Your talent in the Soul Path is indeed extraordinary, but your current strength is not enough!"

Do you know why there's such a huge difference between our soul techniques?

"Isn't it because of the length of Years one has cultivated?" Lu Yan'an blurted out.

Upon hearing this, the Lord Moyan smiled and shook his head, "My will is at the same level as yours, that of the Universe Supreme Being! My secret techniques of illusion are not much stronger than yours either. If you still believe that the difference in strength between us is determined by the Years cultivation, then you have disappointed me greatly!"

"Then how were you able to withstand my Soul Attack so easily?" The Lord Moyan's words also made Lu Yan'an feel puzzled.

"The path of the Soul Lineage is not as simple as you think," the Lord Moyan said eloquently. "Since your state of mind is comparable to the Universe Supreme Being, you should be able to understand where the gap between us lies!"

As he spoke, the Lord Moyan casually waved his hand, and a Spiritual Force carrying his soul power instantly attacked Lu Yan'an!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..." Lu Yan'an felt the Life Imprint within the divine power, as if his skin had been doused with sulfuric acid. The excruciating pain pierced his soul, yet he remained unfazed. The third level of his mental state, where he embodied the will of Tian Xin, was known as "Heart Infinite." How could he possibly collapse so easily?

"Heaven Soul! Suppress it for me!"

As soon as Lu Yan'an unleashed his aura, he instantly mobilized the Peak Soul-type Supreme Treasure that had been integrated into his soul, and used it to suppress the ethereal Spiritual Force of the Lord Moyan.

In an instant, the exquisite purple crystal at the center of his soul burst forth with countless threads of law, connecting every ounce of divine power in his body, making the life imprint seem as if it were wearing a layer of armor. At the same time, a strange power emanated from the Heaven Soul Crystal, spreading throughout his body and quickly weakening the pain. Meanwhile, Lu Yan'an swiftly manipulated his own divine power and the power of the Heaven Soul to completely suppress the ethereal Spiritual Force.

"What is this?" This time, Lu Yan'an truly felt the difference between the ethereal Spiritual Force of the Lord Moyan and his own Spiritual Force. Compared to the two, Lu Yan'an's divine power was like unprocessed iron ore, while the Lord Moyan's Spiritual Force was like iron mother that had been forged through countless hammer blows! In terms of strength alone, the two were not even in the same league.

"This is the hurdle between the fourth and fifth tiers!" Seeing Lu Yan'an's thoughtful expression, the Lord Moyan explained, "You possess a special energy that can directly impact the will to live, which certainly provides you with the capital to challenge opponents of higher tiers, but you have completely neglected the tempering of your own Spiritual Force!"

"Do you know why, once someone breaks through to become the strongest, even those who aren't skilled in soul-based Spiritual Force techniques can still easily suppress Universe Master who specializes in soul power? The key is that after breaking through to become the strongest, the Spiritual Force that the person who broke through undergoes a transformation from the ethereal to the tangible."

"In terms of the use and variety of Spiritual Force, they may be far inferior to us. But the difference in fundamentals is enough for them to easily defeat us. This is a qualitative difference that cannot be overcome! If you want to break through the bottleneck of the fourth to fifth level of Soul Attack, then go to the Black-Veined Stone Pillar of the Universe Boat. That is the best place to break through!"

The Universe Boat is one of the Three Great Danger Zones, fraught with peril.

According to the current information available to the Human Race, there are quite a few places within the spaceship for tempering one's will, each with a different environment. One of these places is called the "Black-Veined Stone Pillar," which Lu Yan'an and his Human Race refer to as the "Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar," one of the countless wonders within the Universe Boat.

The Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar (Black-Veined Stone Pillar) number 16 in total!

These 16 Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar, each over a thousand light-years tall, possess boundless power. No attack can damage or remove them. These 16 Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar support a strange space, within which are numerous enormous secret chambers, each with its own independent space. Each secret chamber corresponds to a Black Token, and one must possess Black Token to enter that secret chamber.

The Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar is truly wondrous, radiating an endless Will Impact; the closer one gets, the more terrifying that Will Impact becomes.

Moreover, the closer you get to the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar, the faster time flows!

"Lord Moyan Shenyan Race, what is your purpose? Why are you helping me?" Lu Yan'an couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him, staring at the eloquent Lord Moyan. Even though they were, strictly speaking, enemies, he simply couldn't understand why the Lord Moyan would help him.

"It's not exactly just helping you; I have my own ulterior motives too," the Lord Moyan replied with a smile. "Besides, the reward that Xun Feng offered wasn't enough for me to fight a Universe Master with true combat strength at the fourth tier! That's a separate price!"

"And those Universe Master can reach the fourth level in the Soul Path are few and far between in the entire Universe Ocean! Essentially, we are all the same kind of people. You don't need to feel any pressure. I'm guiding you for my own reasons. However, with your current strength, you are far from meeting my requirements! Keep striving!"

Without revealing his true purpose, the Lord Moyan waved his hand and Teleportation away. On the Celestial Mountain Rock, only Lu Yan'an remained, frowning as he pondered the Lord Moyan's words.

"This Lord Moyan is no ordinary being! Judging from its mastery of the soul, it seems to be no weaker than the level that Master Zuoshanke displayed when he came to the Ancestral God Religion Sect to assassinate me!" The more I reviewed the details of my battle with this Lord Moyan, the more I could feel the extraordinary nature of its methods.

It's important to remember that when the Zuoshanke came to "assassinate" Lu Yan'an, he could destroy Lu Yan'an's ordinary Soul-type Supreme Treasure with a single, casual strike without harming Lu Yan'an's soul! This time, the shock and pressure brought to Lu Yan'an by the Lord Moyan's two casual attacks were no less than those Zuoshanke!
