"There was no destructive power, and no power of time..."
"It wasn't a crystal fragment."
Sensing the Spirit Crystal deep underground, Qin Hao's first thought was whether it shared an origin with the Destruction Crystal, Time Crystal, Earth Crystal, and the others he had obtained.
But after sensing it briefly, Qin Hao shook his head. This Spirit Crystal looked utterly ordinary. Had it not moved of its own accord, he would never have noticed it.
There was no power inside it whatsoever!
If he had to name anything special about it, it was that the Spirit Crystal felt remarkably sentient, almost as though it were alive.
Something stirred in Qin Hao's heart, and a guess formed in his mind, though he did not dare be certain. Just then, a fierce shout suddenly rang out:
"Third strike! Qin Hao, get out of the Heavenly Cloud World!"
"Ninefold Heavy Saber, ninth fold!"
Yun Ye's explosive shout rang out across the plaza.
It took time to describe, but in reality, only an instant had passed since Yun Ye's second strike landed. What the onlookers did not know was that Qin Hao had already used those two strikes to refine most of the Reincarnation Soul Fruit's soul power within him.
He could even command the Heavenly Cloud World's heaven and earth rule power now. Had Yun Muzhou, Yun Xiao, and the others known, they would probably have spat blood in fury.
Whoosh!
Qin Hao swept his left hand, covering himself with heaven and earth rule power. At the same time, he slashed forward with the Heavenly Abyss Sword.
It was still the Heavensea Ruins Diagram.
Unlike before, Qin Hao used only the Heavensea Ruins Diagram this time, without employing any other Top-Tier Peak Secret Arts.
He had merely added heaven and earth rule power.
