Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Yu Zhangsheng could feel that between himself and these beast souls, through the True Spirit, there was already some inexplicable connection; to a certain extent, he seemed able to command these beast souls, constantly making them fight against the other beast souls that had not yet submitted, though he could not yet do so.

"Forget it, these are fine enough; as long as everything goes smoothly, that's enough."

As for this, Yu Zhangsheng was not greedy either; he lightly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and smiled faintly.

Most of these beast souls had been fourth-rank Spirit Beasts in life; if they could truly be contracted by him, it would be no less than a great blessing for Yu Zhangsheng, but in the end, it was just a thought.

As the trial passed, continuous contact with the True Spirit was a huge burden on Yu Zhangsheng, especially the consumption of his Shenjue.

Pills for recovering Shenjue had already been taken who knows how many times; by the end, resistance had built up, and the medicine effect became increasingly unsatisfactory.

"It's almost over……"

Yu Zhangsheng sighed lightly, forcibly suppressed the fatigue in his heart, shook his head hard, bit through his tongue tip with his teeth, and along with the pain, his spirit was forcibly refreshed somewhat.

The Second Layer Trial, according to the requirements, Yu Zhangsheng had long since passed; and at this moment, among the ninety-nine beast souls, only the last one had not yet been subdued by Yu Zhangsheng.

And this last one was also the most difficult, consuming quite a bit of Yu Zhangsheng's time.

This beast soul was the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon, a type of Mutated Spirit Beast; in general shape it was similar to ordinary dragon-type Spirit Beasts, but differed in details.

"The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon is by nature bloodthirsty and cruel, its whole body pitch black like ink, fond of dwelling in lightless Abyss lands, born with three eyes and vertical pupils, eight claws on its belly, and a slender Dragon Tail a hundred zhang long; this fellow is no simple matter. Back then, Master spent no small effort to slay him."

"I just don't know if you, Yu Zhangsheng, can successfully subdue him; this is the last one, and also the most difficult one. The True Spirit is also the most completely preserved one. Once you succeed, your Myriad Spirits Art, a Saint Level technique, advancing will be a done deal……"

The Sui Xian Sword Sword Spirit floated to one side, strange light flashing in his eyes; thinking this in his heart, he grew all the more expectant.

Yu Zhangsheng's expression was grave; after deeply exhaling a breath, he nodded lightly toward the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon beside him.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon understood; dancing through the air, it scattered endless killing fire, soaring around the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon and entangling with it.

The Cai Xing Deer lightly stepped; trees towered up, piercing straight into the clouds; a seven-colored lotus quietly bloomed slowly atop the trees, enveloping the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Golden-Winged Great Eagle cried out clearly; with a flap of its great wings, lightning flashed and thunder roared, storms turned to mist, sweeping toward the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon roared; its slender Dragon Body stretched to several hundred zhang, fully unfurled, giving a feeling of covering the sky and earth.

Facing the pincer attack of three Spirit Beasts, Dragon Might flared; it opened its mouth, and one blood-red light pillar after another shot out from its mouth, covering the entire Tian Di.

For a time, Tian Di changed color; Dragon Might surged mightily and continuously, and moreover, one circle after another of faint black Qi constantly seeped out from all over the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's body surface.

"Merely a remnant soul possesses such might; this Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon, in life, had probably already reached the fifth rank, right?"

Yu Zhangsheng secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, secretly alarmed; his body kept leaping with Shadow Flash, seeking an opportunity to close the distance with the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

A fifth-rank Spirit Beast was equivalent to a Huashen Adults among humans; such an existence, even if only a remnant soul, the might it burst forth with was naturally not something the other beast souls could compare to.

Even with the Myriad Spirits Art and Beast Taming Art, their influence on the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon was limited.

"Treading Soul!"

The Cai Xing Deer cried softly; its voice was clear and long; its front Deer Hoof lightly stepped, and one layer after another of invisible ripples spread out, turning into one water wave after another, striking toward the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

Dealing with a soul body like the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon, the Cai Xing Deer's attacks were naturally the most effective.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon struggled violently; after this attack, its body also appeared dazed for an instant, frozen in midair; seizing this gap, Yu Zhangsheng's eyes shone with spirit light; after several consecutive Shadow Flashes, he suddenly appeared atop the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's huge Dragon Head, and pressed down with a finger! Soul Power surged crazily along his finger into it, breaking through its Beast Soul Membrane, crazily exploring.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon recovered in an instant; its huge Dragon Head shook violently; it let out a long howl to the sky; one black Qi after another surged violently, rolling toward Yu Zhangsheng.

"Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon, Golden-Winged Great Eagle, Cai Xing Deer, restrain him!"

Yu Zhangsheng growled lowly; heedless of everything, his hair stood on end, his eyes bloodshot; his Sea of Consciousness trembled, crazily pouring into the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

The Cai Xing Deer's winding and coiling Deer Antlers radiated seven-colored light; wherever the light shone, one Jumu Vine after another rose from thin air, densely packed, wrapping around the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon layer by layer.

The Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon roared; one killing fire after another floated; as its Dragon Body rose and fell, it turned into a boundless Fire Sea, entangling and attaching to the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's body.

"Wind Rolling Residual Thunder!"

The Golden-Winged Great Eagle circled; one blade after another fell like rain, further carrying the power of thunder; wind and thunder surged, obstructing the rise of the black Qi.

In an instant, the three Spirit Beasts each used all their abilities, bursting forth with their strongest might, controlling the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

"True Spirit, just a little more……"

The wind and clouds of the Wai Jie; Yu Zhangsheng at this moment no longer cared about them; deep within the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's beast soul, its True Spirit was different from the other beast souls; its size was not on the same level, much thicker; even compared to Yu Zhangsheng, it was not much different.

"Human, you have that person's aura on you; Cao Jinxian's Junior Brother, right? Recklessly entering my Territory, seeking death!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's True Spirit roared; its eyes were entirely blood-red; however, unlike the others, it seemed to still retain some intelligence.

"Back then I died with hatred, slain by that person; now as the ages turn, revenge is hopeless; but being able to drag you along as a Burial Companion is not bad either!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon coldly roared; its three bloodthirsty Dragon Eyes flickered with eerie light, turning into three swords that seemed able to pierce Tian Di, suddenly shooting toward Yu Zhangsheng's True Spirit.

"Is that so? Then you've miscalculated."

Yu Zhangsheng took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart; his Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, turning into a black world-shaking thunderbolt, stabbing toward the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

"Thousand Thoughts Slash! Spirit-Stunning Pierce!"

Divine Sense shuttled like lightning, smashing toward the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's True Spirit; in the instant of collision, it entangled with the three blood-red rays emitted by the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon. Thunderbolt entwined, intertwined unclearly.

This contest had nothing to do with Cultivation Base or fleshly body; it only compared the thickness and depth of Shenjue and True Spirit.

The Sea of Consciousness trembled; the golden sea raised sky-toppling waves; the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's True Spirit roared, opening its Beast Mouth, crazily biting toward Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng retreated three steps, enduring the Stun feeling in his body, gritted his teeth fiercely; crimson light burst from his eyes; one punch after another, striking the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's body. "This fellow, a fifth-rank Spirit Beast, merely a remnant soul yet so difficult to deal with."

"Never mind, fortunately I've stored many Essence Points this past year; otherwise, this time would truly have been hard to get through."

Yu Zhangsheng's state was demonic, yet his thoughts remained very calm, not affected in the slightest; on one hand he confronted the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon, on the other he pondered deeply.

"Continue adding points!"

【Thousand Thoughts Slash: Great Achievement (300000/500000)】

【Consumed 200000 Essence Points, successfully raised Thousand Thoughts Slash to Perfection!】

【Thousand Thoughts Slash: Perfection (reached technique limit, cannot continue upgrading)】

Perfection — any technique that reaches this degree will enter a brand new kind of realm, bringing its power to the utmost, even producing heaven-overturning, earth-overturning changes.

And manifested on Yu Zhangsheng, his Sea of Consciousness trembled, scalding like waves; every strand of black lightning was entirely dyed golden.

A heart-palpitating aura continuously emanated from Yu Zhangsheng; his Divine Sense, already vast as the boundless sea, became unfathomable as an abyss in this moment.

"Shen, Shen, Ci!"

Yu Zhangsheng murmured softly, spitting out one word at a time; with each word's fall, a golden Divine Sense lightning bolt emerged around him, rampaging and coiling.

Boom—! Golden lightning bolts coiled and fused continuously, ultimately forming a giant golden nail, dripping threads of Divine Might, carrying all of Yu Zhangsheng's Soul Power, flashing like thunder, stabbing ruthlessly toward the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon.

"Roar roar!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon reacted instantly; in its three crimson Beast Eyes appeared a humanized palpitation; its Dragon Tail swung ruthlessly at this glittering golden nail.

Crack…

"Woo roar!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon screamed; the moment its Dragon Tail made contact, it shattered inch by inch, dissolving into flying ash, while this golden nail merely paused slightly, then descended once more like a Divine Weapon descending to the world, cutting through thorns and brambles with unstoppable momentum, shattering everything, crashing down ruthlessly.

This golden soul nail condensed all of Yu Zhangsheng's Soul Power, and was the strongest eruption of Thousand Thoughts Slash reaching Perfection; one strike out, as if stone shattering heaven, in the vast sky only this one soul nail existed eternally.

One strike fell; regardless of the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon, Yu Zhangsheng's True Spirit first spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura weakened considerably, yet the sharpness in his eyes grew even more fierce.

"Perish for me!"

Yu Zhangsheng roared low; the next moment, this golden soul nail shook all over, all electric arcs converged, and what erupted instead was even more astonishing speed and might.

"Boom!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon shrieked, struggling violently; no matter how it dodged, it was utterly useless — this golden soul nail had completely locked onto it; ascending to heaven, entering the earth, nowhere to hide.

Thus, miserable screams resounded; in the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's Sea of Consciousness Core, this wisp of True Spirit, no matter how unwilling, its final ending could only be torn apart, crumbling inch by inch.

"Cao Jinxian, I hate you!"

The Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon roared; its deep roar revealed infinite unwillingness and resentment, transforming into lingering might reverberating through heaven and earth, finally shattering into light points; from its shattered True Spirit, a heavy white light quietly emerged, merging toward Yu Zhangsheng.

"It's here, the final part!"

Yu Zhangsheng's spirit shook, his breathing slightly hurried; this Daosong flowing from the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's True Spirit was more vast and agile than the Spirit Beasts encountered before.

Also in the instant the Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon's True Spirit crumbled, the Outside World — the entire massive Bloodthirsty Ink Abyss Dragon likewise trembled all over; the bloodthirsty red glow in its three vertical pupils quietly dissipated, and finally its entire Beast Soul body dissolved into specks of white light, surging toward Yu Zhangsheng.

And this beginning instantly seemed like opening a chain switch; the remaining ninety-eight Beast Souls all cried out, their Beast Soul bodies beginning to slowly crumble, dissolving into specks of the purest white light, surging toward Yu Zhangsheng, completely submerging him.

"Success!"

The Sui Xian Sword's Sword Spirit's gaze condensed, watching this scene, finally letting out a long exhale; the smile in its expression became even more obvious.

【92】 "Not in vain did I open so many back doors for you; this time, the Saint Level technique, Myriad Spirits Resolution, can it be considered truly re-manifested in the world?"

"It's not in vain that I opened so many back doors for you; this time, a Saint Level technique — has the Ten Thousand Spirits Resolution truly reappeared in the world?"

The Sui Xian Sword's Sword Spirit smiled faintly, gaze bright, heart holding slight anticipation, thus paying even more focused attention.

"This is... so warm..."

On this side, feeling the surging white light sea all around, Yu Zhangsheng was somewhat surprised, enjoying it with narrowed eyes, his whole body bathing in this light sea, his mind and spirit completely relaxing.

In the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, with the fusion of this final speck of white light, the entire Daosong embryo had already completely condensed, transforming into a rhombus-shaped milky-white seed-like thing, floating up and down.

Threads of Qi mechanism completely guided and stirred the Myriad Spirits Resolution to operate automatically; moreover, strands of information naturally surged into Yu Zhangsheng's mind.

"Saint Level technique, Myriad Spirits Resolution..."

"Heaven births all things, to nurture all spirits... Spirit is the Core of all living beings, condensing all of this living being's consciousness, soul, flesh body, memories, and so on..."

"The first stage of Myriad Spirits Resolution is outward-facing, using one's own spirit to affinity all spirits, attach to all spirits, thereby controlling all spirits... Through contacting this most fundamental Core of all things, thereby directly pointing to the Great Dao; in one sentence: merging with all spirits through oneself... All spirits are me, originally one body; this is also why one can affinity all things..."

Profound Dao Wen suddenly erupted from the Daosong, continuously flowing down, entering Yu Zhangsheng's four limbs and hundred bones, even into every part of his soul.

And regarding Myriad Spirits Resolution's advancement, it continued; gradually, specks of white light again spread out from all over Yu Zhangsheng's body, slowly permeating the entire space.

One out, one in, seeming to form a cycle, endless, eternal cycle turning.

"And merging with all spirits through the body is only the first part of this technique; the true complete Myriad Spirits Resolution, the latter part can be completely reversed... that is..."

"Using all spirits... to fuse oneself!"

"This method is completely different from the preceding part; it does not pursue refining one body into countless individuals, into countless Dao Spirits, thereby coexisting with all things — all things undying, I also undying.

Rather the reverse: using the spirits of all things to fuse and nurture one's own spirit; all things unique, even if heaven and earth are destroyed, I can still maintain my own eternal existence since ancient times..."

Naturally to reach that degree, realm is an indispensable item.

After Yu Zhangsheng completed Myriad Spirits Resolution, he immediately felt this technique's profundity. (Chapter End)
