Ye Xuan's Clever "Honey Trap", Tang Hao the "Desperate Man"

Inside the cave, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm followed Ye Xuan's plan, transforming into a Blue Silver Empress that possessed the exact same aura and appearance as Ah Yin.

Ye Xuan then took out his Super Ball martial soul and drew the real Blue Silver Empress, Ah Yin, into it.

Taking advantage of the current chaos, he utilized the Super Ball's ability to convert Ah Yin's original Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone into a "Leaf Stone."

Ye Xuan knew very well that anyone who laid eyes on a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would be overcome with greed.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind; he transformed the soul bone and fused it directly into Ah Yin's body, letting her consume her own essence to maximize her potential.

Perhaps because Ah Yin's origin energy had been completely exhausted, even after fusing with the "Leaf Stone" created by the Super Ball to sublimate her bloodline, her severe lack of origin left her with only ten-year-level cultivation.

"Ye Xuan, this Blue Silver Empress's origin energy is severely depleted. While we can feed her enough heavenly treasures in the future to help her recover, it will undoubtedly slow down your own cultivation progress."

Having lived for so many years, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had seen far more than Ye Xuan.

Since he had said as much, it meant that if one truly wanted to cultivate the Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin into a reliable asset, a significant amount of resources would have to be consumed.

Yet, upon hearing Tian Meng's words, a mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.

"Heh, I have my own ways to retrieve the life origin Ah Yin lost. But before that, everything must proceed according to the plan, understand?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Tian Meng seemed to recall something; his figure stiffened abruptly, and the look he gave Ye Xuan was as if he were staring at a monster.

"Standing on your opposite side is truly a terrifying thing."

Listening to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's low murmur, a wicked grin spread across Ye Xuan's face.

"For the sake of our path to godhood, we can only let our enemies contribute a bit more value before they die."

As he spoke, the two exchanged a glance.

Immediately after, Ye Xuan transformed back into an inconspicuous little stone and rolled out of the cave.

At the same moment, the bone that had been replaced inside the wooden box in the cave was once again simulated to look like a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Outside the cave, the battle between the three continued.

Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo, two peak level-95 Super Douluos, showed signs of breaking through their cultivation levels during the fight against Tang Hao.

"Hahahaha!! Exhilarating, truly exhilarating!! Little Tang Hao, let's go again!"

Clearly, Thousand Jun Douluo had become bloodthirsty, and Falling Devil Douluo was becoming increasingly reckless.

For old antiques like them who spent their years holed up in the Worship Hall, they rarely had the chance to strike.

Now, not only could they have a hearty fight, but the person they were fighting was Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect.

There was no describing how satisfying this felt.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Jun Throw!!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Sky Breaking Strike!"

Seeing the two join forces to unleash their eighth soul skills against him, Tang Hao showed no intention of backing down.

"Clear Sky Secret Technique, Ring Detonation!"

"Great Sumeru Hammer!!"

To block their combined attack, Tang Hao forcibly detonated his first five soul rings, the mountain-like Clear Sky Hammer crashing down from the air toward the two Coiling Dragon Staffs below.

"BOOM--!!"

Two terrifying, heavy strikes that seemed capable of shattering the heavens collided.

The sheer force of the impact tore every tree on the nearby hills into shreds!

As for the hills closer to the epicenter, they were instantly ground into dust under the interweaving of this terrifying power.

At the same time.

The small hill housing Ah Yin and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was also shorn of its peak, exposing the small cave hidden within.

Seeing this, both Thousand Jun and Falling Devil couldn't help but feel a bit nervous; although they had kept the battlefield far enough away, they hadn't expected the clash to be this violent.

Just as they were worrying about Ye Xuan's safety, his figure appeared before them the next second, holding a note detailing the plan he and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had devised.

Soon, the image vanished from their sight.

Thousand Jun and Falling Devil exchanged a look, as if they had sensed something; one could see a sense of schadenfreude and a touch of dark humor in each other's eyes.

"Tang Hao, let's end this! Seventh Soul Skill, Avatar of the Martial Soul!!"

At this moment, the seventh ten-thousand-year soul ring behind Thousand Jun Douluo erupted with dazzling brilliance.

In the state of the Avatar of the Martial Soul, a towering dragon shadow of an Evil-Breaking Dragon emerged upon the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand.

Falling Devil Douluo did not release his Avatar of the Martial Soul, but his sixth soul ring lit up once more.

Tang Hao had already detonated five rings; even if he still had the strength to fight, he had absolutely no chance of winning against both Thousand Jun and Falling Devil simultaneously.

His only option now was to flee—to escape this place with Ah Yin and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone at any cost!

Just as Tang Hao was contemplating how to break the deadlock, a gentle yet sorrowful female voice drifted out from the partially exposed cave below.

"Brother Hao! Don't hurt Brother Hao!"

Tang Hao froze in place the moment he heard that voice.

When he fixed his gaze downward, he discovered the figure that had filled his life with regret.

It was a girl dressed in a sky-blue gown.

Her cheeks were fair and smooth, possessing a beauty that was both sweet and striking, her temperament gentle yet noble.

There was no mistake; this was exactly the appearance of the hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast, Ah Yin!

However, her figure appeared slightly translucent at this moment.

Wisps of azure light connected from the rock wall below to her body.

It was as if this was the only way she could continue to maintain her illusory human form.

Upon seeing the figure below, tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of Tang Hao's eyes.

After ten long years, he was seeing Ah Yin once again.

"Ah Yin!!!"

Tang Hao did not hesitate for a second, charging directly toward the space above the cavern where Ah Yin resided.

Yet, upon seeing Tang Hao's movements, a wicked smirk tugged at the corners of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's mouths.

They knew that Ye Xuan's plan had officially begun.

They immediately brandished their Coiling Dragon Staffs and rained blows down upon Tang Hao.

"Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear Sky True Body!!!"

Watching the terrifying attacks descending from Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, Tang Hao had no intention of dodging.

Because he knew clearly that if he were to evade this strike, his "Ah Yin" would undoubtedly perish!

"You two old scoundrels! You... deserve to die!!"

"Eighth Spirit Ability, Hammer Suppresses Clear Sky!!!"
