"Whether you help me or not is up to you. At worst, we'll die together. But I know you don't want to die. You want to devour me and take over all responsibilities."
Ling Xiao's voice rang out, calm yet tinged with sarcasm. Although the Heart Demon was of the same origin as him, if this guy didn't contribute and instead caused trouble, it would still have a significant impact on him.
Therefore, he first had to persuade his Heart Demon to join him in his efforts.
Upon hearing this, the Heart Demon was instantly enraged, its black hair flying wildly, as if it were about to perish together with the demon at any moment.
"What do you take me for? I'll seize this opportunity to devour you and rule the world!"
"Try it. Even if you manage to beat me, can you kill that evil spirit?"
Ling Xiao smiled dignifiedly, his smile exuding a sacred and peaceful aura; the Great Dao Golden Scripture made him appear incomparably holy.
On the contrary, with the same face, Evil Ling Xiao resembles Supreme True Demon, the most terrifying demon lord in the world.
The two faced off across the void, one side radiating golden light, the other exuding overwhelming demonic energy, creating two distinct worlds.
"Haha..." The Heart Demon laughed loudly, his face ferocious and evil, his temperament unpredictable. One moment he was on the verge of death, and the next he was laughing.
"We share the same roots, so your enemy is naturally my enemy too. What's wrong with lending you a hand? Anyway, one day I'll become my true self!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heart Demon sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Spirit-Summoning Demon-Calling Heaven-Defying Art, with countless black scriptures flowing out from his body.
The two scriptures combined caused a change in Ling Xiao's very essence, and his soul, which had been torn in two, suddenly burst forth with blazing light.
In that instant, Ling Xiao's heart stirred, and a sudden realization, a thought he had never had before, welled up within him.
The Great Dao Golden Scripture and the Spirit-Summoning Demon Invocation were activated simultaneously, unexpectedly sparking a unique synergy. An immortal and vast will swept out and erupted from the depths of his soul.
It swept across the area instantly and spread.
Then, a golden light erupted from the depths of Ling Xiao's soul, like a volcanic eruption, and quickly spread to every corner of his soul.
"Holy crap! This is..."
Ling Xiao's body trembled, and he clearly felt that his soul's origin had undergone a tremendous change, his spirit and essence turning golden.
It was as if some unseen force had been broken, allowing me to enter a wondrous realm.
"A golden soul... what does that mean?"
Ling Xiao and his Heart Demon were both stunned, completely bewildered.
Outside, seeing that his opponent was motionless, seemingly lifeless, the headless evil spirit paused for a moment, then slowly raised the Heavenly Blade in his hand and swung it out, intending to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
"No!"
At this moment, Tianxue Ji, Tianxue Yaoyue, and the others let out desperate cries. They did not want Ling Xiao to die, nor did they want themselves to die.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the crown of Ling Xiao's head, and an unparalleled aura and a powerful will descended with an attitude of conquest.
"What!"
Uncle Boya, Golden Horn Dao Lord, the members of the Snow Heaven Clan, and even the headless evil spirit were all shocked.
"Roar!"
The headless evil spirit let out a roar, and the undead beneath it retreated uncontrollably, their knees trembling as if they were about to kneel down.
"An immortal will, golden soul power! What is this?"
Ling Xiao's soul power was like golden suns, instantly illuminating the battlefield and alarming many powerful figures and evil spirits.
They felt an immense pressure, as if witnessing the birth of a supreme being, and indescribable emotions arose in their hearts: reverence, fear, confusion, and dread...
Only by sinking one's entire soul into the earth can this oppressive force be dispelled.
"Could a terrifying evil spirit have appeared?"
"Could it be the Dark Lord?"
"Unlikely. If it's the Dark Lord, no one can escape."
"I sensed a supreme will within this aura, unlike that emanating from an evil spirit. Could it be that one of my colleagues has obtained a great opportunity?"
Many powerful figures discussed this, and even though they were separated by countless time and space, they could faintly sense the aura of this golden soul power.
This aura was fleeting, but it was still detected by many powerful individuals.
Somewhere on the Mythic Battlefield.
A group of creatures were dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding nobility, especially the women, each one as beautiful and elegant as a butterfly.
"This power and will... it seems to be Immortal Soul! The legendary Immortal Soul!"
In the crowd, a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, who looked to be around thirty years old, stared in one direction with a look of utter shock.
"Immortal Soul? What is that?"
Upon hearing this, a woman of unparalleled elegance and extraordinary beauty standing beside her asked in confusion.
The stunningly beautiful woman who asked the question was none other than Divine Butterfly Princess.
"The Immortal Soul is the highest realm of spiritual cultivation. The soul is immortal and indestructible, and the speed at which one comprehends the Great Dao is a hundred times that of ordinary people."
Even the most powerful beings at the ancestral level don't possess such terrifying potential.
The beautiful woman in palace attire explained in amazement, her beautiful eyes filled with envy and admiration.
Divine Butterfly Princess was deeply shocked and couldn't help but ask:
"Aunt Yan, have you cultivated Immortal Soul?"
The beautiful woman in palace attire, named Yan Shuitian, is Divine Butterfly Princess's spiritual mentor.
Divine Butterfly Princess knew that Yan Shuitian's research and cultivation of the spiritual path had reached an extremely terrifying level, and he could easily kill even opponents who were a level higher than him.
Divine Butterfly Princess had always regarded the beautiful woman in palace attire as her teacher, seeking her guidance in this field.
That's why she was able to see the extraordinary spiritual power of Ling Xiao.
Yan Shuitian chuckled softly and slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Die Wu, how could I possibly cultivate Immortal Soul? As far as I know, beings who possess Immortal Soul are extremely rare in the entire True Realm, apart from the Realm Lords."
"Wow! It's so rare?"
Divine Butterfly Princess looked astonished; it was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.
Because it was a legendary thing, Yan Shuitian had never told her about it, and Divine Butterfly Princess was unaware of it.
"That's right. There are many geniuses and extraordinary people in this field, like the person you told me about before. His mastery of the soul surpasses yours, but not mine."
Even so, those who can truly cultivate an Immortal Soul are few and far between, because it is not something that can be mastered through cultivation alone, but rather a matter of opportunity, an immense stroke of luck, which cannot be obtained through human cultivation.
Yan Shuitian explained with a radiant expression, her eyes filled with longing. Immortal Soul was something she had sought in this life, something she dreamed of obtaining.
"If I ever encounter this person, I must have a good meeting with him. Perhaps the opportunity for me to cultivate Immortal Soul lies with him."
She made a silent vow in her heart.
"I see!" Divine Butterfly Princess nodded gently, gaining a deeper understanding.
Knowing the transcendence of the Immortal Soul, she became even more determined to strive in that direction.
