Breakthrough: Level 70!

Lin Xuan had secretly been taking pills, constantly restoring his stamina. With no outside help, how could Wang Qiu'er withstand him? He tormented her for three days and three nights straight.

"Fine, I'll reluctantly let you off this time." Lin Xuan reached out and stroked Wang Qiu'er's long, wavy pink-blue hair, smiling softly.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast now. After all, we haven't eaten anything for three days." Lin Xuan gently patted Wang Qiu'er's perky backside and smiled tenderly.

"Mmm... no, hubby... I'm so sleepy... You wore me out so badly over the past three days... I want to sleep a little longer..." Wang Qiu'er shook her head, pouting as she complained.

"Mm, all right." Lin Xuan suddenly remembered something and nodded in agreement.

"Then sleep here for now." Lin Xuan smiled faintly, lowered his head to kiss Wang Qiu'er's forehead, then pushed himself up and rolled out of bed.

"Mmm..." Feeling that warm presence leave her, Wang Qiu'er furrowed her lovely brows. She then turned over, buried her head beneath the blanket, and went back to sleep.

After getting dressed, Lin Xuan walked over to a table not far away in the room and picked up the oversized jade bottle containing the Evil Eye Tyrant.

"Should I absorb this Soul Ring now?" Lin Xuan shook the jade bottle and muttered.

"Forget it. I'll absorb it now." Lin Xuan directly summoned the Nihility Devouring Flame and had it swallow the jade bottle.

At that moment, the Evil Eye Tyrant's furious voice suddenly rang out from within the Nihility Devouring Flame above Lin Xuan's palm. "Human, you dare kill me? You're dead! My father will avenge me! Release me now, and I guarantee you'll leave safely. No!"

The Evil Eye Tyrant's enraged voice abruptly cut off the next moment.

At the same time, a blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared before Lin Xuan, while a silver-white bone materialized in his palm.

However, the instant the silver-white bone appeared, it was swallowed by the Nihility Devouring Flame burning in Lin Xuan's palm.

In the blink of an eye, the silver-white bone turned to ash, transforming into a stream of pure energy that poured into Lin Xuan's body.

"The soul bone was swallowed by the Nihility Devouring Flame? Fine, I'll find a better one later." Lin Xuan glanced at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring floating before him, sealed the room once more, then sat cross-legged and guided the Soul Ring onto himself.

Just as Lin Xuan completely killed the Evil Eye Tyrant, a massive crimson pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky from the deepest part of the Evil Demon Forest.

The crimson pillar was over a hundred meters in diameter. Even from outside the Evil Demon Forest, it could be seen clearly.

The pillar soared into the sky, reaching an altitude of over a thousand meters. The clouds above rapidly gathered around it.

The enormous pillar pierced through the clouds, dyeing everything around it blood-red. As the clouds gradually dispersed, they revealed a gigantic crimson eye.

That crimson eye hung more than a thousand meters in the air, looking down upon the Evil Demon Forest.

Then, a deep, powerful voice filled with rage seemed to echo through every corner of the Evil Demon Forest. "Who? Who killed my son?! Who?!"

That cry carried an exceedingly strange spiritual fluctuation that descended from the high sky, spreading outward from the core of the Evil Demon Forest and covering two-thirds of the entire forest.

More than a third of the Evil Demon Forest's space distorted, yet not a single plant was harmed.

Countless soul beasts clutched their heads in agony and collapsed to the ground.

Yet after scanning the entire Evil Demon Forest, the enormous blood-red eye found not even a trace of its son's aura. In the end, it could only close its eyes unwillingly and return to silence.

Before long, a powerful wave of energy swept out from Lin Xuan's body, directly startling Wang Qiu'er awake from her sleep.

"Level seventy!" Lin Xuan rose from the floor and clenched his fists excitedly. Feeling the Soul Power flowing through his body, he could not help grinning.

With a thought from Lin Xuan, formidable spiritual power surged out from his forehead. Purple, purple, black, black, black, red! Six Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, radiating Soul Power fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.

"You absorbed a Soul Ring?" Wang Qiu'er blinked and sat up in bed, staring unblinkingly at the six Soul Rings beneath Lin Xuan's feet in surprise.

Lin Xuan had made very little noise when completely killing the Evil Eye Tyrant. Coupled with the Nihility Devouring Flame constantly devouring energy, he had not awakened Wang Qiu'er immediately after absorbing it.

Only when he released that wave of Soul Power did he wake her.

At this moment, Wang Qiu'er sat up naked in bed. The blanket slid down with her movement, completely exposing her curvaceous, bare body before Lin Xuan.

"Mm-hm." Lin Xuan nodded, put away his Soul Rings, and sat beside Wang Qiu'er. Smiling, he explained, "I'm already level seventy now. The Soul Ring corresponding to my seventieth level is the Evil Eye Tyrant that chased us before."

"Level seventy? Your Soul Power increased by ten levels at once?" A flash of surprise crossed Wang Qiu'er's pink-blue eyes.

"Actually, that's normal." Lin Xuan nodded and slowly explained, "The Evil Eye Tyrant's soul bone was devoured by my Nihility Devouring Flame, and all of its Soul Power was fed back into me. On top of that, while we were in the Evil Demon Forest, I used the Nihility Devouring Flame to devour quite a few attacks. That energy also became part of me."

Lin Xuan continued, "Now that I've absorbed this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, with the immense energy I had accumulated beforehand as a foundation, it would be strange if I still couldn't break through to level seventy in one go."

As Wang Qiu'er listened to Lin Xuan's explanation, the surprise in her eyes gradually faded.

"Nihility Devouring Flame..." Wang Qiu'er lightly pursed her red lips and softly repeated the name.

"Nihility Devouring Flame... is that the black flame you used before?" Wang Qiu'er raised her eyes to look at Lin Xuan and asked.

Wang Qiu'er had never heard of the concept of Heavenly Flames. Although she had seen Lin Xuan use the Nihility Devouring Flame many times, and although Lin Xuan had explicitly said it was not his martial soul when Ye Xishui questioned him about it, she had always subconsciously assumed that the Nihility Devouring Flame was his martial soul.

Now, Wang Qiu'er finally took the opportunity to ask the question in her heart.

"Uh... yes." Lin Xuan paused briefly before realizing that Wang Qiu'er had no concept of Heavenly Flames, then patiently began explaining it to her.
