Wherever the spear tip passed, the air was torn apart, deep furrows were plowed into the ground, and even space itself seemed to tremble!
A surge of energy roared out from the tip of Xiao Yan's spear, carrying a sharp aura. Wherever the light passed, everything was burned to ashes!
puff!
The energy released by the spear easily pierced through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's chest, running from its front to its back!
The energy carried by the spear tip emanated from its back, creating a cloud of blood mist!
Then, the flesh and blood around it, burned by the extreme heat, turned black!
boom!!!
The spear exploded, and raging flames instantly engulfed it!
The azure earth fire and the pale, cold flames intertwined to create a devastating sea of fire, engulfing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear entirely within!
"Roar--!!!"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a shrill scream, its voice filled with resentment and despair, tinged with extreme pain.
Flames shot into the sky; in this primeval forest, almost anything it touched would ignite.
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing dodged the scattered Soul Power. As the flames slowly dissipated, the massive body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Phew, finally dead..."
As the aura of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear disappeared, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, a hint of excitement in their eyes.
The two stared intently at the center of the giant pit, where the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lay dead, its massive corpse lying silently.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the two, a jet-black Soul Ring slowly rose from his corpse and hovered in mid-air.
"It's finally done!"
A relaxed smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
Soul Ring with a lifespan of 35,000 years is more than enough!
Be Xiao Xin!
Zhu Zhuqing spoke to Xiao Yan with concern, saying that while the lifespan of the Soul Ring was sufficient, it had far exceeded the theoretical limit of Sixth Soul Ring, which was 20,000 years.
Don't worry.
Xiao Yan showed Zhu Zhuqing the pill in his hand, which was the Clear Mind Pill he had refined. It could keep one's mind clear during the process of absorbing the Soul Ring.
Moreover, having experienced the initial surprise of absorption before, his soul and body had already adapted.
It's not a big problem for him.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, leaped to the top of a giant tree, and Xiao Xin protected Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan reached out and touched the dark Soul Ring, absorbing it. Then he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
The Soul Ring entered his body, and a surge of violent energy instantly rushed into his body!
That was the remaining bestiality of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, frantically assaulting his soul!
That bestial, ferocious energy, filled with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's dying rage and resentment, frantically tore at Xiao Yan's soul!
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and exerted all his Soul Power to fight against that beastly force!
Zhu Zhuqing crouched at the top of the tree, her eyes filled with vigilance.
One hour, two hours...
As darkness fell, night descended.
Xiao Yan remained seated cross-legged, completely still.
His breathing became more and more steady, and the aura emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, Xiao Yan's Soul Power surged!
His breathing completely stabilized.
The Sixth Soul Ring has been successfully absorbed!
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Yan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. He slowly stood up, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, a smile playing on his lips.
Level 61, Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
After absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Soul Ring, he directly broke through to level sixty-one!
"Whoosh!"
Zhu Zhuqing leaped down and landed beside Xiao Yan, her purple eyes filled with concern.
Xiao Yan smiled, raised his right hand, and his Sixth Soul Ring appeared on his body—as black as ink!
What is your Sixth Soul Skill?
Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
" Sixth Soul Skill - Meteor Heart Burning Soul Wave!"
Xiao Yan couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
"I can unleash a soul shockwave that ignores defenses and strikes directly at the target's soul!"
Xiao Yan glanced at a huge rock not far away, and a thought struck him.
A pale, distorted, transparent shockwave of soul energy shot out from between his brows, instantly striking the boulder!
The boulder remained completely still.
"Boom!"
But the next moment, it shattered with a deafening roar!
That was an attack at the soul level, which directly shattered the internal structure of the boulder!
The boulder shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions!
Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in surprise at the sight, for an attack on the soul is extremely difficult for an ordinary Soul Master to defend against.
This Soul Skill is practically unbeatable against defensive Soul Master.
"Moreover..." Xiao Yan stretched his shoulders, "Absorbing the Soul Ring of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has significantly strengthened my physique."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, about to say something, when she suddenly noticed that Xiao Yan's expression had changed.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.
Xiao Yan didn't speak. The next moment, Xiao Yan Second Martial Soul, the Soul Division, suddenly appeared.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly as she watched Xiao Yan's Second Martial Soul emerge.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was examining his own body internally.
The Soul Division Martial Soul, that illusory figure he had never been able to comprehend, was now trembling violently.
Within the illusory image, a pitch-black portal is slowly coalescing.
The portal was entirely black, emitting a Youyou glow, as if it connected to another world.
Along the edge of the portal, countless fine lines flowed, complex and mysterious, like some kind of ancient runes.
In Zhu Zhuqing's view, Xiao Yan's Soul Division Martial Soul gradually melted, eventually melting and piling up on the ground like a black liquid.
It then slowly rose again, transforming into a dark and eerie gate in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He opened his eyes and looked at the towering gate in front of him, a look of astonishment on his face. Behind the dark gate, he sensed a familiar presence.
That is...
The aura of the Battle Through the Heavens World!
"This... how is this possible!?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Xiao Yan, warily looking at the black portal in front of her, and asked curiously.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a long while before he spoke to Zhu Zhuqing with some uncertainty:
"This... behind this door, I sensed the aura of the Battle Through the Heavens World..."
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback upon hearing this. He knew the secret of Xiao Yan's martial soul—that his split spirit martial soul connected to another world—but why would it suddenly transform into this portal?
This change occurred only after the individual advanced to the Soul Emperor level.
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing stared in astonishment at the pitch-black gate before them. They exchanged a glance, and an unbelievable thought arose in Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and his mind stirred.
He could feel the connection between himself and the pitch-black door. As his thoughts surfaced, the pitch-black door in front of him emitted a dull thud.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, this eerie, pitch-black door slowly opened.
