Breakthrough to Spirit Transformation, the Master Behind Bloodslaughter Pavilion

"Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, devour them for me!"

The Saint Origin, the Origin Essence of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts, their souls, and the Origin Power of Lin Xuan that had not yet been fully refined—all of it poured into Qin Luo's body.

Xi Huang watched Qin Luo with a grave expression. She had to admit that Qin Luo was insane.

A person this mad would either become a demon or survive!

"He was this ruthless even toward himself. If he ever became one of this world's peak experts, he would surely be a merciless man with no scruples."

"Perhaps, for the sake of becoming stronger, he would even dare devour this world's Origin Essence."

Devouring those Origin Essences pushed Qin Luo's cultivation several times to the very limit of the Divine Ability Realm—then beyond the limit, and beyond again, until there was not the slightest room left to improve.

Only then did he begin devouring their Soul Origins!

"Devour them for me!"

Boom! A detonating sound rang out in Qin Luo's mind. No matter how thoroughly they had been purged, those souls still belonged to others. He could not avoid being affected by the remnants of their souls.

"Fuck, I've watched countless videos! I'll just treat this as watching a damn movie!" Qin Luo roared.

To be honest, many people's life experiences might not even be as rich as Qin Luo's.

So what if they were Saints? They merely possessed their own experiences.

Qin Luo came from an era of information explosion. He had watched countless videos and read countless novels.

Would the memories of those remnant souls affect him? Yes—but they remained within a tolerable range!

The Soul-Refining Furnace Method, begin cultivation!

Using those so-called Soul Origins as firewood, he tempered his own soul.

He burned all the Soul Origins of those Grotto-Heaven Realm experts. Spirit Transformation was achieved!

Next came the Soul Origin of that Saint Realm expert. Burn!

The blazing soul fire burned madly. Peak of the First-Level Spirit Transformation Realm, Peak of the Second-Level Spirit Transformation Realm, Third-Level Spirit Transformation Realm!

Breakthrough! Fourth-Level Spirit Transformation Realm!

"Advancing too quickly will cause problems." Xi Huang watched Qin Luo gravely, somewhat hesitant.

In the end, she sighed. "Consider this Emperor to owe you one. Remember to repay it."

After saying that, Xi Huang walked to Qin Luo's side and circulated a cultivation technique, forcibly helping him cleanse the negative emotions produced by burning those Soul Origins.

With Xi Huang's help, Qin Luo's soul strength increased considerably. The Spirit Transformation Realm primarily strengthened the soul; only when the soul was stable could one's cultivation remain stable.

Qin Luo's soul became far more solid. In contrast, Xi Huang's body became even more illusory.

To share glory and share ruin was not just empty talk.

If anything happened to Qin Luo, Xi Huang would undoubtedly die.

As someone capable of becoming an Empress, she was naturally intelligent. She knew what needed to be done and when.

In her eyes, Qin Luo was the sort who yielded to softness but not force.

Fifth-Level Spirit Transformation Realm. Qin Luo's cultivation stabilized at the Fifth-Level Spirit Transformation Realm. A whole Saint, several Grotto-Heaven Realm experts, and the Five-Elements Spirit Body Origin of Lin Xuan had been consumed—though, truthfully, quite a bit had also gone to waste.

One reason was that his soul strength was insufficient. Another was that he had spent too little time. If he had absorbed everything patiently and let it settle, he might have been able to climb another level.

But that would have taken too long. Qin Luo would not—and did not want to—wait that long. To him, time was far more precious than resources.

As for resources, there were plenty. If killing a few more Children of Destiny was not enough, then he could simply kill a few more Saints.

Opening his eyes, Qin Luo glanced at Xi Huang's highly illusory body and took out a small porcelain bottle.

Boom! A surge of pure energy shot into the sky from the porcelain bottle, instantly shocking Xi Huang.

Chen Zhanshan, who had been guarding Qin Luo outside, was jolted awake and immediately detected the source of the energy.

"His Highness actually possesses such a treasure?"

Without hesitation, he immediately set down layer after layer of restrictions to block others from spying.

"Nine-Turn Golden Body Scripture, refine it for me!" Qin Luo roared.

That drop of Divine Dragon Blood Essence surged wildly into his body, sending his aura climbing steadily.

His physical body began undergoing continual refinement.

"Another top-tier cultivation technique."

Xi Huang's expression was exceedingly complicated. Back in the Blood Pool, because of the restrictions of the Great Qin Dynasty, she had not sensed what had happened outside to Qin Luo.

Now she could see clearly. The grade of Qin Luo's cultivation technique was exceptionally high.

"This is the Innate Mortal Physique that everyone looks down upon—bloodline reversion. Heh..." Xi Huang sneered.

"But they have forgotten one thing: this bloodline physique is the source of all Human Race bloodlines."

"Not to mention that he possesses a God Level technique as wicked as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art!"

Shaking her head, Xi Huang also entered cultivation. Her soul had been greatly depleted. If not for the Human Emperor Banner, she would likely have been nearly finished by now.

Qin Luo spent a long time refining this time around. His body had practically undergone a complete rebirth.

A single drop of Divine Dragon Blood Essence had only barely allowed Qin Luo to cultivate the Nine-Turn Golden Body Scripture to the second turn.

"I wonder just how powerful the second turn is." Qin Luo muttered to himself.

He had a premonition that perhaps no one in the Spirit Transformation Realm could now stand against him.

He could even fight Grotto-Heaven Realm experts head-on with the Nine-Turn Golden Body Scripture—perhaps even kill them!

Grotto-Heaven Realm experts opened up a small grotto-heaven world within their bodies, granting themselves stronger and more abundant energy.

With his Dantian and physical strength combined, Qin Luo felt that he was not inferior to Grotto-Heaven Realm experts in the slightest.

"Alright, next I should head to the Ten Thousand Mountains! The real show is about to begin!"

During the days Qin Luo spent cultivating, a major uproar had erupted in the Imperial Capital.

"Did you hear? The Gu Family actually went out to intercept and kill the Ninth Prince. The Gu Family is truly arrogant!"

"Repaying grudges with grudges is only natural. How is that arrogance? Besides, Vice Dean Gu said it himself—Gu Qingfeng would never dare ambush the Ninth Prince. It was the Ninth Prince who sent someone to kill Gu Qingfeng. If one wants to accuse someone, why worry about lacking a pretext?"

Commander Lu of the Demon Suppression Bureau said there was no evidence for this matter. He hoped the Ninth Prince would submit evidence; otherwise, there was no way to establish guilt.

Qin Luo had given Lu Cang a difficult problem, but in the end, Lu Cang still decided to handle it impartially!

Gu Qingfeng's head alone was not enough. Other evidence was needed to corroborate it before Gu Qingfeng's guilt could be established!

As for Qin Feng and Qin Yun, their expressions changed the instant they saw the heads of their subordinates.

At the same time, the news was released. Everyone learned that Qin Feng and Qin Yun had sent people to intercept and kill Qin Luo.

The instant Qin Feng saw the head, his heart gave a violent jolt.

A letter from Qin Luo had also been delivered along with it.

"My dear brother, I never expected that it was not enough for you to want to kill me—you even sent someone to kill the First Prince's woman. Tsk, tsk. If our dear eldest brother finds out, do you think he will let you off?"

"Oh, right. I heard you possess quite a few good things, such as..."

"A Bodhi Fruit."

"Give it to me as hush money. How about it?"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Qin Feng instantly tore the letter in his hands to shreds, then smashed Men Sandao's head inside the box into pulp with one slap.

"Qin Luo, Qin Luo! If I do not kill you, I swear I am not human!"

There was no way he could let the First Prince learn about this matter.

Otherwise, even if he did not die, he would be stripped of a layer of skin!

The First Prince was a Saint Realm expert. If he made a move against him, Qin Feng would be doomed beyond redemption!

"Qin Luo must die!" Qin Feng said through gritted teeth.

At the Fifth Prince's residence, Qin Fan, who had just finished cultivating, heard the latest news from the Imperial Capital.

"Tsk, tsk. My younger sister and eighth brother really lifted a stone only to smash their own feet."

"But they are all just a bunch of trash. Watching them tear at each other is truly boring."

Qin Yun's talent and background were barely passable. Qin Feng's maternal clan was weak, and his talent was poor as well—neither was worth noticing.

Behind Qin Luo stood only a Great Saint, and he had now joined the Tenth Demon Suppression Guard. It would be difficult for him to establish his own power.

None of them were worthy of Qin Fan's notice.

"Your Highness, someone wants our Bloodslaughter Pavilion to kill the Ninth Prince. Should we accept this mission?" a subordinate asked.

"Oh? Is that so? What is the price?" Qin Fan asked.

"It is worth roughly one low-grade Saint Artifact."

"Too low." Qin Fan shook his head.

"At least two Saint Artifacts. If they can afford that, our Bloodslaughter Pavilion will take the mission. If they cannot, then do not disturb us."

"But that is the Ninth Prince," the subordinate reminded him.

"So what? So long as they can pay the price, even that one can be killed by our Bloodslaughter Pavilion!"

Qin Fan's gaze fell upon the direction of the imperial palace as he spoke coldly.

As for whether they could kill him or not—that was another matter!
