Endless Reincarnation, Impossible to Kill!
Within this Emperor's Territory, two supreme experts of the Soul Dao were locked in fierce combat. Both being Daluo of the Soul Dao, their soul attacks were effortless for them!
However, Xu Huai was ultimately a step behind. Although he controlled 40% of the Great Dao's authority, he was still Primordial Spirit and remained at the realm of immortals.
Qin Lu, although he only controlled 30% of the power, had cultivated True Soul ahead of time. Even if it was only a wisp or two, it was only one percent, or even one-thousandth, of the power of a true Dao Ancestor!
But that also involves the power of the Dao Ancestor, which is above the Immortals!
Thus, the difference is evident!
Xu Huai's soul strength was not insufficient to meet the requirements for condensing True Soul; rather, he lacked the Dharma Sect to condense True Soul.
If one wields 50% of the power over the Great Dao, upon Dao Integration...
The Primordial Spirit will autonomously transform and condense into True Soul. This has always been a passive transformation process, and from ancient times to the present...
The only person who could actively promote the condensation of the True Soul was the first Soul Ancestor, and only his legacy recorded the method of condensation!
Qin Lu was such a lucky one, or perhaps...
It was the will of the Great Dao of the Soul Dao that chose him!
He was ordained by Heavenly Fate, recognized by the Great Dao, and favored by Heaven, Earth, and the people. Thus, Qin Lu rose to prominence and had the opportunity to ascend to a higher position and see far ahead.
"Emperor Nether, even if you have condensed True Soul, so what? The amount of power we wield over the Great Dao is the true source of our strength!"
"I refuse to believe that a mere few wisps of True Soul can bridge a nearly 10% gap in authority!"
"Emperor Nether You, don't overestimate yourself!"
Xu Huai's words were sarcastic, yet tinged with bitterness. "Damn it," he thought, "After countless eons of cultivation, I've still been surpassed by a mere youth..."
They've truly gone astray in their pursuit of enlightenment, and this initial envy has ultimately transformed into the purest form of jealousy and hatred!
The primordial Primordial Spirit the Xu Huai departed its body, and in an instant Primordial Spirit Dharma Manifestation condensed into the heavens and earth. Although it was equally enormous, compared to the True Soul Astral Manifestation...
The two are worlds apart; one is so vast that its boundaries are invisible, seemingly Endless, as long as Qin Lu wants it...
Then the True Soul Astral Manifestation can be infinitely large, which is itself a projection and manifestation of the Great Dao!
The Primordial Spirit Dharma Manifestation have limits; they can be seen to their end and their boundaries. This is the most obvious difference between the two, and also the difference in power levels between immortals and ancestors.
Even though Xu Huai wielded more power, Qin Lu remained fearless!
[Great Divine Ability: Extreme Dao - Soul Destruction!]
Emperor Nether Astral Manifestation wielded the God Devouring Sword and slowly slashed towards the Void. This sword strike appeared weak and powerless, yet it contained an overwhelming aura of soul-destroying power.
The Primordial Spirit Dharma Manifestation the Xu Huai clearly dodged the blade's edge, but in the next instant, its soul was scattered and its form shattered!
This sword strike originated from the rules of the Soul Dao, directly impacting Xu Huai's soul itself, rather than being a mere physical attack.
With the power of Daluo Immortal, he could be considered Half-Step Dao Ancestor. With the blessing of the Dao Ancestor's True Soul, Qin Lu's attack had already touched the rules of the Soul Dao!
And this is also the source of Qin Lu's confidence in challenging Xu Huai!
No matter how strong Xu Huai is, he is still only Half-Step Dao Ancestor, and he is still an immortal. As an immortal, he cannot resist the erosion of the rules.
With a single sword strike, Xu Huai was killed.
However, Xu Huai's method of resurrection differs from ordinary aggregation and regeneration. Instead, he creates a shell out of thin air and then replicates the will to achieve resurrection.
This resurrection method Endless and unrestricted, meaning that Xu Huai can resurrect infinitely without any limit!
This is fundamentally an existence that cannot die!
"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
"The rules can only kill him for a moment, but the next moment, his methods will automatically revive him, and even his soul essence can be infinitely repaired. Non-rule-based attacks simply cannot kill this old monster!"
Qin Lu's expression finally showed some emotion. He hadn't encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time. Although the battle with Bai E had also benefited him greatly, it had never made him truly fight.
But Xu Huai is different; this old thing is a true monster!
The sheer power of its infinite resurrection is something even True Immortal cannot overcome; only Dao Ancestor could slay it, and even then, to a certain extent...
It can even resist some of the power of the rules!
Seeing that the God Devouring Sword was ineffective, Qin Lu then summoned the Earth Burial Seal. The seal hung high in the sky and then pressed down on Xu Huai.
This seal caused the Soul Kingdom to tremble and erupt in chaos!
An unparalleled suppressive force instantly sealed off Xu Huai's movements, then connected with the rules of the Soul Dao, once again implementing rule erasure.
This time, the Xu Huai perished once again, only to be reborn as a new Xu Huai!
"My turn!"
"Do you really think that the True Soul Astral Manifestation makes you invincible?!"
With a single finger, Xu Huai unleashed a supreme strike, drawing upon his own Essence Blood, and life force—a strike far surpassing that of True Immortal...
This life-burning strike also touched upon the level of rules, and already possessed the potential to threaten Qin Lu!
A beam of blood shot into the sky, transforming into a streak of blood.
The next instant, the Emperor Nether Astral Manifestation Phenomenon began to disintegrate uncontrollably, and a terrifying Soul Poison continuously corroded its body.
Even Qin Lu had no choice but to disperse the star formations and fly away!
He coughed up a mouthful of poisonous blood; he had been poisoned!
However, this Soul Planting poison is different from Qin Lu's. Qin Lu uses emotions as poison and bait, while Xu Huai's Soul Poison is extremely fierce.
It primarily focuses on extreme soul corruption, forcibly annihilating the soul!
"Good technique, but it's still a bit lacking!"
Following Xu Huai 'Qin Lu Xu Huai also sacrificed himself, using the rules of the Soul Dao to reshape a new body for himself. His old body was completely poisoned and perished, while his new body was reborn!
The new body then uses the old body as a sacrifice to fully activate the Soul-Locking Heavenly Lantern!
In an instant--
The world was plunged into darkness, except for the pure white soul flames that engulfed all things. The Xu Huai, having just taken form, was once again consumed by the Soul Fire...
Qin Lu seized the opportunity and began to recklessly sacrifice himself, repeating the process of rebuilding his body!
Since Xu Huai is playing this game with him, Qin Lu wants to see just how many times Xu Huai can die, and just how long he can last...
Every time Xu Huai reforms its body, it is instantly obliterated by the rules or burned to death by soul flames...
And so, this process continues in a loop.
Xu Huai died and returned again and again, like an endless cycle, Qin Lu just kept going with him!
In the Endless cycle of reincarnation, Xu Huai was killed a thousand times, ten thousand times, countless times, until little by little, Xu Huai's soul was worn away!
