Heaven Realm Soul at Great Perfection

Dou Qi Continent, Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.

After leaving the chat group, Xiao Yan willed it, swiftly retrieving the Chaos Source Fruit Lu Qingshan, the group leader, had given him from the chat group's storage space.

It was a translucent crystal box engraved with countless mysterious patterns. Within it, the faint shadow of something green could be seen.

"Is this the Chaos Source Fruit?"

Looking at the translucent crystal box in his hand, Xiao Yan held his breath and slowly opened it.

Inside the small room.

The moment Xiao Yan opened the crystal box, everything around him seemed to lose its color, as though the only thing left in the world was the green fruit inside!

Green light burst forth, and an incomparably rich soul aura instantly spread through the room. At the center of it all was the green fruit within the crystal box.

"Phew!"

With just one breath, Xiao Yan felt his soul undergo a slight transformation.

At the same time, in a secluded corner of the Xiao Clan, a mysterious black-robed expert suddenly opened his eyes.

"This is..."

The black-robed expert stared in shock toward Xiao Yan's room. "This fluctuation? How is that possible?"

His figure flashed, and he quickly rushed toward Xiao Yan's room.

His body shifted continuously, completely concealing itself in the darkness. No one could detect his traces wherever he passed.

Meanwhile, after experiencing the terrifying effects of the Chaos Source Fruit, Xiao Yan shuddered and instantly came back to his senses.

"Not good!"

"The aura of this Chaos Source Fruit could very well alert others. I'd better deal with it quickly!"

With a thought, he swiftly sent the Chaos Source Fruit toward the black ring on his hand.

The moment the Chaos Source Fruit approached the black ring on his hand, it immediately vanished into thin air.

I hope this Chaos Source Fruit really works! Xiao Yan silently prayed.

Inside the black ring was a vast space, several hundred cubic meters in size, though it was currently pitch-black.

Only at the very center of the space was there a faintly glowing halo.

If anyone looked closely, they would discover that the halo was actually a transparent soul sitting cross-legged in meditation. It looked incomparably weak and aged.

The Chaos Source Fruit Xiao Yan had sent into the black ring had landed directly before this aged soul.

The moment the Chaos Source Fruit touched the aged soul, it instantly transformed into incomparably pure soul energy and continuously fused with the aged soul before it.

A moment later...

The aged soul's eyes, which had been closed for who knew how many years, suddenly snapped open, shooting out rays of brilliant light. Yet they were immediately filled with shock and confusion.

"This is..."

"How is this possible?"

"What exactly is this thing?"

The aged soul's voice trembled intensely.

Before falling into slumber, he had once been a super expert of the Dou Qi Continent.

He had also come from the Yao Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans, and was a highly accomplished alchemist. He was extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of heavenly treasures.

Yet the mysterious green fruit that had just fused into his body had completely surpassed his imagination!

The soul injuries he had suffered in his previous battle against an enemy had now completely healed, but the strange energy contained within that mysterious fruit was still continuously merging into his soul.

Having recovered to his peak condition, the aged soul immediately released his soul power outward. He knew that such an incredible heavenly treasure could not possibly have appeared inside this storage ring for no reason.

Outside the black ring's space, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on his bed, looking expectantly at the black ring in his hand.

"Could it have been this little fellow?"

Seeing the anticipation on Xiao Yan's face, the aged soul could not help thinking, But how could he possibly know that I am inside the ring's space? And how did he find such an unbelievable heavenly treasure?

"Hmm?"

"There's actually a little fellow spying outside?"

Sensing the Dou Huang aura outside the room, the aged soul, whose strength was still constantly rising, stirred his thoughts. Then, a vast and terrifying soul force instantly spread outward.

Outside the black ring.

The sudden emergence of that terrifying soul energy made Xiao Yan's expression change drastically as he sat cross-legged on the bed.

If such a terrifying soul attack struck him, his soul would likely be destroyed in an instant.

Fortunately, he was not the target of this soul force.

The terrifying soul force shot out like lightning, streaking past Xiao Yan on the bed before viciously blasting toward the roof.

Pfft!

The illusory soul fluctuations did not destroy anything on the seemingly empty roof.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly sprang out from a shadow on the roof, then shot away into the darkness.

Under the moonlight, the figure revealed a somewhat dark and aged face. As his body flickered, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heaven Realm soul? How is that possible?"

A trace of disbelief flashed across the shadow's face. He quickly wiped the blood from his mouth, then flickered several times before vanishing into the darkness.

On a remote road several dozen kilometers from Wu Tan City, a Dou Huang expert was traveling.

But at that moment, his expression abruptly changed, and he fiercely turned to look in Wu Tan City's direction.

"What a powerful soul!"

The Dou Huang expert cried out in alarm, his face turning solemn. "How could such a terrifying expert appear within my Jia Ma Empire?"

He immediately abandoned his original plans, changed direction, and rapidly flew toward Wu Tan City.

The aged soul inside the black ring knew nothing of what was happening outside.

But even if he had known, he would not have cared much.

After all, his soul power was still continuously rising and had even surpassed the peak strength he possessed when he still had a body. Across the entire Dou Qi Continent, there were not many people who could threaten him now.

As time passed, Xiao Yan, sitting cross-legged on the bed outside, grew increasingly disappointed.

In his view, if Yao Chen had recovered using the Chaos Source Fruit, he would definitely reveal himself and meet Xiao Yan. Yet there had been no movement at all.

"Senior?" Xiao Yan could not help calling out to the black ring in his hand.

At that moment, the aged soul inside the black ring had completely absorbed the terrifying energy contained within the Chaos Source Fruit.

"This power?"

Feeling the power within his body, the aged soul wore an expression of utter disbelief. "A Heaven Realm soul at Great Perfection?"

A small addition: this was a life-saving item used at the Realm Lord stage; it no longer had much effect on the Immortal stage.
