Chapter 1312: Void Enters the Emperor Realm

Heh heh, finally dealt with that old guy.

While those people ahead were discussing a retreat, Lin Feng inside Guan City looked at the massive space fissure towering tens of thousands of zhang before him, and at the mountains within a hundred li that had already turned to powder, and a flash of excitement crossed his weary face.

After all, that old guy was from more than ten thousand years ago and was his own enemy.

Then it's better to die honestly.

Otherwise, for him, the trouble would be endless.

Having dealt with that wolf spirit, Lin Feng immediately shifted his form and swiftly flashed to the front of Guan City.

However, when he arrived, he found Han Yu and Qiu Yue already leading the remaining Tongling Sect Dou Saints toward the south.

Seeing this, Lin Feng could only sigh, disperse his True Body of Ten Thousand Fires, and give up the pursuit.

After all, he had just gone through a great battle and was physically and mentally exhausted.

Moreover, the opponent still had Han Yu and Qiu Yue, both Nine Star Dou Saints.

Having left the attack range of Pingnan Guan City, he couldn't possibly defeat a combination of two Nine Star Dou Saints plus dozens of other Dou Saints.

Staring at the departing backdrop for a long while, Lin Feng then turned and flew toward the Yao clan elder.

"Is the energy reserve still sufficient?"

Approaching the latter, Lin Feng immediately asked.

As soon as his voice fell, the Yao clan elder before the console swept his gaze over the Shi Tai and said, "It's enough for defense."

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, then flicked his palm and summoned the Gate of Deathly Silence.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Immediately, several figures darted out and finally stood before him.

Looking at them, they were another Yao clan elder, Lei Qian, Xuan Yi, and Hun Yuan Tian.

Of course, Xuan Yi, now supported by the cultivation resources Lin Feng provided, had already reached the Dou Saint realm.

"Master."

The four of them steadied themselves, and after seeing the man's features, immediately bowed in unison and said.

Hearing this, Lin Feng lightly nodded and then ordered, "Lei Qian, come with me to attend to my recovery; as for the others, search within this Guan City for useful top‑tier cultivation resources."

"Understood."

When the former spoke, the four immediately complied.

After all, faced with their master's command, they naturally would not harbor dissent.

However, Lei Qian, a curvaceous mature woman, flushed slightly on her seasoned, graceful face after hearing Lin Feng's words.

After all, from Xuan Yi, an experienced veteran, she knew exactly how to attend to him.

And thinking that her first time would be taken by her master, this thousand‑year‑old mature woman felt a surge of nervousness.

But Lin Feng had no leisure to concern himself with that.

Having endured the previous great battle, he was truly exhausted in body and mind, with no spare thoughts for such matters.

After instructing the few, he then looked toward the Yao clan elder by the control console and said, "As for you, continue to guard this area. If anyone arrives, use Guan City to repel them immediately; if the opposing combat power is too strong, send a message for aid."

"Understood."

Hearing the command, the Yao clan elder before the Shi Tai immediately bowed.

Seeing the matters here settled, he then swiftly embraced Lei Qian's voluptuous body.

Sensing the soft body and faint fragrance of the mature woman in his arms, Lin Feng's spirit was slightly uplifted.

He then quickly flew away from the place.

After all, the earlier battle with the wolf spirit

The other few, watching him leave, except for the Yao clan elder responsible for defending this place, all departed to other locations to search for resources.

This place is a world of a dimly overcast sky.

Dense black mist spread across the entire horizon.

Bone‑piercing chilling force seeped into every corner of this space, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

Deep within this space stood a vast expanse of towering black architecture.

Looking up, a towering hall dozens of zhang high rose at the center of those structures.

Above the hall hovered a figure sitting cross‑legged with eyes closed.

However, the figure continuously exuded black flames as dark as ink.

From afar, the rising black flames resembled a black hole, endlessly devouring everything in heaven and earth.

Below the figure, countless black silhouettes stood, bustling with activity. These silhouettes repeatedly produced a series of talismans, then manipulated the contents inside, sending them one by one toward the figure above.

Upon close inspection, these items were translucent, nearly colorless light orbs.

Yet within these orbs swirled a pure energy that could make one pale.

Anyone with broader insight would recognize that these orbs were all soul essences!

If the experienced Lin Feng were present, he would certainly perceive it.

Here, these soul essences, for those whose souls are in the later stage of the Celestial Mirror, require only refining a single orb to elevate their soul power to the great perfection of the Heaven Realm.

However, the orbs floating in the sky alone number at least hundreds.

When those soul essences approached, the quiet, seated black silhouette in the sky finally moved.

"Hoo!"

In the next instant, a sudden gale swept the heavens, and the all‑covering black flames erupted, releasing wave after wave of terrifying devouring power.

Amid the surging suction, the many soul‑essence orbs drifting in the sky were instantly seized by that devouring force.

Then, under the relentless suction, these soul essences darted rapidly toward the black silhouette.

In the blink of an eye, the soul orbs touched the figure, and the black flames continuously spread from it.

And when those soul origins came into contact with the black flames on that person's body, they were directly sucked in by that devouring force.

At the same time, as more and more soul origins drifted up from below, that figure forcibly devoured them.

Wave after wave of terrifying soul fluctuations gradually emanated from within that black figure, enveloping the space within a hundred-li radius.

As these fluctuations grew stronger, eventually the soul fluctuations permeating the sky became almost substantive.

Even the surrounding space began to show signs of distortion and deformation under the influence of that soul power.

At the same time, the soul pressure emanating from the black figure in the sky grew increasingly terrifying.

Amid the surging soul power, it was gradually approaching that legendary realm at a leisurely pace.

"Hum!"

After an unknown duration of such devouring, this space suddenly began to tremble violently.

Immediately thereafter, a soul fluctuation akin to the lord of heaven and earth spread out rapidly.

Where this fluctuation passed, those figures continuously transporting soul origins below almost instantly all involuntarily prostrated themselves.

Under that pressure, they could not resist!

As for that figure who had kept its eyes closed for a long time, it suddenly opened its tightly shut golden eyes, revealing pitch-black pupils devoid of any whites.

Immediately afterward, others leapt to their feet, and in an instant, a heaven‑covering soul fluctuation erupted like a volcanic eruption.

If Lin Feng or Gu Yuan were present, they would surely recognize that this soul fluctuation had already stepped into the Emperor Realm.

"Congratulations, Lord Wu Nie, on entering the Emperor Soul!"

After a moment, as the heaven‑shaking soul pressure gradually receded into the figure above, the countless figures below instantly prostrated themselves, and their reverent voices, like a mountain flood, rose up throughout the space.

This caused even the earth to tremble slightly.

Besides the Wu Nie Tun Yan that destroyed the Medicine Clan that day, who else could withstand Lord Wu Nie?

Of course, while those people were offering their congratulations, atop a mountain peak several hundred li away from that figure.

A man in a white long robe, whose gaze made him look like a frail scholar, stood with his hands behind his back.

Although his white attire made him stand out starkly in this space filled with dark, gloomy tones.

Nevertheless, no one in this space dared to question his conspicuousness.

For this person is the Chief of the Soul Clan, the Soul Heaven Emperor!

And when he saw the former successfully advance to Emperor‑level soul, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but quickly turn up.

Because, generally speaking, for a heaven‑born earth‑nurtured marvel like Wu Nie Tun Yan to cultivate its soul realm to the Emperor level is nearly impossible.

However, fortunately their Soul Clan rose to prominence through soul manipulation.

They also have their own set of insights for rapidly enhancing the soul.

Among the many methods, the Soul Clan also chose to collect soul bodies, refine soul origins, and feed them to Wu Nie Tun Yan for devouring.

After all, this path is, overall, the most sustainable, has the highest success rate, and is least likely to provoke objections from other Dou Emperor clans.

Because ninety‑nine percent of those they capture are people without Dou Emperor bloodlines.

And this behavior is utterly insignificant to those lofty Dou Emperor clans.

After all, these lowly commoners are constantly fighting each other, heads bloodied, for cultivation resources and territory.

Since they are bound to die anyway, what harm is there in the Soul Clan collecting a few more commoners' souls?

Anyway, these people are not the noble Dou Emperor bloodline owners; let them die

In this environment, the Soul Clan wantonly established its subordinate force, the Soul Hall, to scour the continent for capturing soul bodies and refining soul origins.

Moreover, during this period they also helped the Soul Heaven Emperor set up several backup measures.

This increased his chances of advancing to Dou Emperor by several folds——

Today I've been busy with various things, preparing to go home for the New Year; the time taken exceeded my expectations, and I'll make up the missing parts later.
