Chapter 1153: Soul and the Two Great Ancient Alliances Stir Up Waves

However, it's understandable; the gap between Heavenly Realm Great Perfection and Emperor Realm Soul is not something two Heavenly Realm Souls can fill.

But even so, Lin Feng would not give up breaking through.

And thinking of the soul of Wu Chunsheng he had obtained earlier, he seemed not to have absorbed it yet.

He then took out the jade bottle, removed the stopper, sucked out the soul inside, and directly poured it into the strange fire before him.

"Not bad, although Wu Chunsheng's late Heavenly Realm soul didn't make me feel the Emperor Realm barrier, it at least gave me considerable improvement."

Not long after refining and absorbing Wu Chunsheng's soul, Lin Feng immediately smacked his lips, feeling unsatisfied.

After absorbing the few Heavenly Realm souls in his hand, Lin Feng then turned his gaze to the two Dou Saint corpses before him.

"When I was still a Dou Zong, I absorbed the energy of the Dou Emperor bloodline from two ancient clan members. If I succeed again this time, it shows I can also absorb this energy to advance."

As he spoke, Lin Feng couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.

After all, if he succeeds this time, wouldn't he then be able to advance by absorbing the Dou Emperor blood of those ancient clans?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and quickly flung out a strand of strange fire.

And as that cluster of scorching dark-red flame, it immediately illuminated the dark void along the way, finally landing precisely on the three-star Dou Saint corpses of the Medicine and Flame clans.

"Sizzle~"

In the blazing high-temperature flames, the surfaces of the two corpses began to emit thick white smoke within the time it takes to finish a cup of tea.

Lin Feng saw this, his expression unchanged, his eyes still fixed firmly on the two corpses.

At the same time, he also increased the temperature of the strange fire, wanting to more quickly refine the Dou Emperor bloodline before him.

And under the forging of Lin Feng's new flame formed by merging nine strange fires and blood spirit flame, even though the two were three-star Dou Saint experts in life.

But after persisting for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the two corpses ultimately each turned into a handful of black ash.

Lin Feng saw this, and immediately waved his hand back, quickly retracting that violent dark-red strange fire.

As the strange fire receded, two small clusters of bright red blood with hints of gold immediately entered his view.

Seeing the two clusters of blood in midair, Lin Feng's expression instantly turned joyful, and he eagerly stretched out his hand to draw the two clusters of blood before him.

"The strange energy in this blood is much richer than what I previously refined from the bodies of those two ancient clan Dou Zun."

Gazing at the two small clusters of blood before him, Lin Feng muttered to himself with a burning gaze.

As soon as his words fell, he immediately reached out and grasped the blood.

"Whoosh~"

When his palm just touched the two small clusters of blood, it suddenly emitted a faint glow, which then attached to his skin.

And the moment the two golden-red blood clusters touched his skin, they immediately entered his body through his pores in an instant.

"Rattle~"

Once the blood entered his body, it instantly turned into streams of golden-red strange energy that swiftly flowed into Lin Feng's vast meridians.

However, those energies didn't last long before being absorbed by his body and then quickly disappearing.

And after absorbing these energies, Lin Feng's Dou Qi strength also rose somewhat suddenly.

"It really works!"

Seeing that he had successfully absorbed the Dou Emperor blood of the Flame and Medicine clans, Lin Feng's expression instantly turned to delighted surprise.

Before, he only knew he could absorb ancient clan bloodlines, but he couldn't be completely sure about other Dou Emperor bloodlines.

Now that he has succeeded in absorbing it, it proves that he is indeed capable of absorbing the Dou Emperor bloodlines of the major imperial clans.

"Great! This way I have another method to increase my strength!"

Immediately, Lin Feng clenched his fist excitedly, confidently sensing his current strength.

After absorbing the Dou Emperor blood from those two three-star Dou Saint bodies, his strength is already very close to the mid-three-star level.

If he can absorb more Dou Emperor blood from the bodies of several Dou Saints of the major imperial clans, he might truly break through to the four-star Dou Saint level.

However, if he recklessly kills members of the Dou Emperor families, he will surely face a joint suppression by the major imperial clans.

Just like the Soul-devouring Clan that could absorb the bloodlines of all Dou Emperor families, which was besieged to death.

Lin Feng's smile on his face vanished instantly, and then he sank down.

"Sigh, if there were a way to block the perception of other Dou Emperor families, that would be great. Then I could learn from the Soul Clan, stealthily wipe out a Dou Emperor family, and use it to boost my strength."

Thinking about the greatness of this Dou Emperor bloodline, Lin Feng couldn't help but speak with envy.

After all, absorbing the Dou Emperor blood of two three-star Dou Saints almost let him break through a minor realm within a star level.

If he could, like the Soul Clan, extract and absorb the Dou Emperor blood from the entire Dou Emperor clan's members.

Then his strength might directly surge!

Even possibly directly rise to seven-star, or even higher levels.

But thinking of the heaven-defying terrifying ability of Wu Nie Tun Yan, Lin Feng immediately shook his head helplessly.

"The Soul Clan really had explosive luck, not only encountering the strange fire Wu Nie Tun Yan with its extremely perverse ability, but also meeting the last chief of the Soul-devouring Clan who had been severely wounded by others. After devouring him, it directly extended the Soul Clan's life for who knows how many years."

Thinking of the Soul Clan's history, which seems much longer than the Xiao Clan's, Lin Feng smacked his lips with a feeling of emotion.

As for the Soul Clan being able to severely wound and absorb the Soul-devouring Clan's chief on its own, Lin Feng doesn't really believe it.

After all, if the Soul Clan truly had that ability, it wouldn't have let the Soul-devouring Clan alone dominate the continent back then.

After all, from the original story's information we can tell that the Soul-devouring Clan also apparently attacked the Soul Clan, only to be repelled in the end.

If the Soul Clan truly had the power to exterminate the Soul-devouring Clan, how could it possibly be bullied to its doorstep by the other side and still swallow its anger?

"Sigh, let's first absorb this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. The quality of this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is much better than Zi Yan's; I don't know if after absorbing it I can break through to five-star Dou Saint. Even now, even if I have Wu Nie Tun Yan's ability to hide the Dou Emperor clan's small world, I lack the Soul Clan's ability to exterminate an ancient clan."

Thinking that even now he can't handle the weakest Stone Clan among the remaining Dou Emperor families, Lin Feng sighed disappointedly, secretly thinking he was being overly ambitious.

After all, he is only a three-star Dou Saint now; even if the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan were willing to help him, the most they could get him to is four-star Dou Saint—what could he use to fight the Dou Emperor families?

You know, in the original story, Wu Nie Tun Yan was even two stars above the Medicine Clan chief, yet in the final extermination war he still suffered some injuries.

It's easy to imagine that even if the Stone Clan is weaker than the Medicine Clan, with a desperate counterattack, even an eight-star Dou Saint might not dare say he could withstand it.

If each is not handled well, they might even end up capsizing themselves.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately dismissed the impractical thoughts in his mind, then retracted those dark-red strange fires, sat cross-legged, and let his mind and spirit slowly sink into his body.

He began to continue releasing from one of his arms a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit that retained only about fifty to sixty percent of its energy.

And as Lin Feng, in seclusion, once again began to absorb the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the outside Dou Qi Continent also started to become turbulent with rising winds and clouds.

Because earlier, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Hun Mie Sheng, was also present when Lin Feng and the Gu, Yan, Yao three great families were fighting.

Therefore, the three great families blamed this loss, unsurprisingly, on Lin Feng and the Soul Clan, each side taking half.

Having suffered such a big loss, the three great families, with nowhere to vent, naturally turned their gaze to the Soul Hall under the Soul Clan.

After all, attacking the Soul Clan, the three great families definitely would not dare.

But taking out their anger on the Soul Hall beneath the Soul Clan, the three great families still have considerable courage.

Therefore, the Soul Hall, the most innocent victim of the earlier Void War, instantly filled with wails up and down.

After all, the Nine Great Heavenly Sovereigns of the Soul Hall before were almost completely wiped out by Xiao Yan and his disciple.

Now the three great families have come knocking again looking for trouble; how could the Soul Hall possibly hold up?

Thus, Hun Mie Sheng, left with no choice, could only seek help from within the clan.

And because the Soul Clan feared the three great families discovering another secret of the Soul Hall, they unhesitatingly dispatched strong experts to aid the Soul Hall.

At the same time, the Soul Hall publicly recruited new Nine Great Heavenly Sovereigns on the Zhongzhou Continent.

They promised that whoever joins the Soul Hall and achieves merit will receive great rewards, even helping Half-Saint experts break through to Dou Saint.

And this reward indeed attracted many Half-Saint experts.

Thus, in just over two months, the Zhongzhou Continent was once again ignited.

Numerous Half-Saint experts who had been unable to break through brought their forces and flocked to join the Soul Hall.

Even the Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate among the Five Clans and Seven Sects were eager, wanting to join the Soul Hall.

After all, these two forces were already at the bottom of the Five Clans and Seven Sects; moreover, their sect resources and the talent of their Supreme Elders or former sect masters were limited, so they had no hope of breaking through to the Dou Saint level.

Furthermore, spurred by the example of Zhao Yuan, who was about to reach his limit and broke through to Dou Saint, the originally tranquil thoughts of their two sects were instantly stirred up.

And seeing this, the other forces of the Five Clans and Seven Sects also spoke up, urging them to continue maintaining this semi-reclusive state and not to continue participating in the continent's conflicts.

Unfortunately, the dissuasion from the other major forces had no effect at all; instead, it made them feel that perhaps those other major forces feared their rise and did not want the Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate to produce Dou Saint experts.

And this speculation of the Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate is actually not baseless.

Whether it's the Dou Qi Continent or Lin Feng's previous life's Blue Star, there are hardly any forces that wish their neighbors to become strong.

After all, that way you wouldn't know whether you and the other party might fall out in the future.

And if the other party is strong, dealing with them later would be troublesome.

Moreover, in any world, important resources are limited.

What if the other party becomes strong and competes with you for those resources?

Therefore, in this regard, no matter how close the forces are, they will have such thoughts.

And after the proxy forces under the alliance led by the Soul and Gu clans fought for three months, the Soul Hall, feeling somewhat strained, upon learning that the Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate had the intention to join the Soul Hall, its Two-star Dou Saint–level Great Heavenly Sovereign personally went to invite them.

Finally, under the Soul Hall's abundant promises and the temptation of first helping their sect's strongest intermediate Half-Saint Supreme Elder or former sect master break through to advanced Half-Saint.

The Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate, the two forces, ultimately chose to rejoin the continent's conflicts and pledge allegiance to the Soul Hall.

Of course, this breakthrough was not given freely by the Soul Hall.

Because the Earth Travel Sect and Mystic Void Gate had long participated in managing the Spatial Trade Fair.

During that time, they accumulated many connections and possessed various information channels.

After all, if you lack sufficient connections and information channels, you cannot run a trade fair.

How could you then invite other forces or experts to come trade various goods that could drive the outside world crazy?

And the price for the Soul Hall helping their sect's intermediate Half-Saint experts break through is these things, which must be provided free of charge to the Soul Hall.

Of course, the Soul Clan can use good things to lure other forces into being its proxies, and the Gu Clan alliance, which possesses the Yao Clan, the continent's top alchemy family, naturally will do the same.

Therefore, they also promptly issued a notice: if other experts are willing to join the Gu Clan's Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion under its banner.

Then, if they achieve merit in battle against the Soul Hall, the alchemists of the Yao Clan's Divine Medicine Workshop can freely refine pills for them.

And the level of pills that can be refined depends on the size of one's merit.

The higher the merit, the higher the grade of pills the Divine Medicine Workshop can refine for you.

Even if you can kill the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, the Treasure Pill Alchemy Grandmaster in the Divine Medicine Workshop will immediately act to refine two top-grade Nine-Grade Treasure Pills for you!

When this news came out, unsurprisingly, it stirred up a great commotion on the Zhongzhou Continent.

After all, Nine-Grade Treasure Pills, this supreme grade of pill, have not appeared on the continent for hundreds of years.

Legend says that a Three-star Dou Saint who consumes this pill can instantly save nearly a thousand years, or even longer, of cultivation, directly raising their rank by one whole star!

Know that an ordinary Dou Saint might need hundreds of years of dull cultivation to possibly advance to a minor sub-rank within that one-star level.

And as long as one obtains a Nine-Grade Treasure Pill, they can instantly leap up, directly ascending one star!

One star rank of a Dou Saint is extremely precious and attractive, a tremendously fearsome existence.

Even as a Dou Saint's star rank increases, this attractiveness becomes ever stronger.

And if there were a heavenly treasure that could let even an Eight-star Dou Saint expert directly raise their rank by one whole star, it's estimated that even the Soul Heavenly Emperor and Gu Yuan would not be able to resist personally rushing to seize it.
