Chapter 693

Boom—

The sea of souls surged, waves of soul-purifying fire like finding delicious delicacies, forming a gray sea of fire that drowned the three heart demons within.

"Ah! It's the soul sea of that bastard Pan Wang..." The fearful voices of the three heart demons grew fainter and finally vanished into the soul sea.

Ye Qin opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them. The Law-Breaking Divine Eye shot forth a soaring radiance, instantly taking in everything in this space.

"Wow, as expected of the heart demon of the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Dragon, it actually contains such immense soul power, of such high quality. If a few more come, my soul realm will surely evolve, and the Heavenly Dao Soul can also achieve great completion!" Ye Qin muttered to himself.

Speaking, he unleashed his Divine Ability, waving his big hand and grabbing a "corpse" from tens of thousands of li away right before him. "Huh? Xiao Bai?"

"You... you are the Carefree Demon or a senior Heart Demon?" The eldest of the Nine Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, Qiongniu, asked tremblingly.

Ye Qin, however, paid no heed, but instead exerted soul power, drawing forth a stream of soul power from the soul realm to repair Bai Qi's soul, which had been depleted from overexerting his potential. At the same time, a stream of life force flowed from the Life Soul Realm, beginning to repair Bai Qi's shattered body.

I don't know how long passed, but Bai Qi finally woke up. And this period of time was a torment for the lingering souls of the Dragon Court and the lingering souls of the Beast Clan. They felt bewildered and helpless, not knowing where to go in the future.

The people of the Dragon Court pinned their hopes on the Three Dao Chaos Heart Demons; while the Beast Clan and those scattered cultivators pinned their hopes on the Kirin King.

"Master? Ah! I didn't die?" Bai Qi asked in surprise.

"Well, you first recover. Then properly absorb the insights from this battle. Between life and death lies great terror, but within great terror also lies great truth. The Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon Wasteland God is not merely a method for cultivating the body; it also contains the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Only when you truly comprehend these principles can you create combat techniques suited to yourself based on them. Only by constant creation can you fully unleash the power of your entire being!" Ye Qin said earnestly.

His self-created Myriad Beasts True Martial can unleash tremendous power; although he now only has two moves, these two moves have helped Ye Qin overcome one crisis after another.

"Ah! So that's it. The Wu Clan's combat techniques are indeed powerful, perhaps a kind of mighty innate battle method!" Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to contemplate the truth.

"You are truly pitiful; this time you cannot return. Even if a thread of your true spirit left in the Dragon Sealing List could be reborn, but without memory, it would no longer be you." Ye Qin looked at the living beings of the Dragon Court and said, his eyes revealing a hint of pity.

However, he gave the Nine Sons of the Heavenly Dragon no time to react. Powerful soul power formed a great vortex, sucking all souls into the soul realm.

"Self-destruct!"

Boom——

In the soul realm, the soul's dark sea surged with huge waves, powerful force as if it wanted to destroy the soul realm. But the soul realm is a world within the Carefree Realm; when the soul realm is damaged, the power of other worlds quickly flows in to replenish it, allowing the soul realm to be repaired in an instant.

The soul fire blazed fiercely, devouring all soul power. The souls of all living beings of the Dragon Court were completely devoured.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The soul fire shot up ten thousand zhang high flames, soul power transforming into gray runes, in Ye Qin's soul enacting the path of soul evolution and the true essence of the Soul Dao.

How powerful the souls of these Dragon Court strong ones are! They are all ancient living beings from the Honghuang, who knows how many yuanhui of soul cultivation methods they have practiced, the contained primordial spirit power is immensely great. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao sleeping and the realm being unclear, they might have achieved greater progress.

Now the strongest existence in the Honghuang is Patriarch-level beings, such as the Ancestral Dragon, Hongjun, the Four Ancestors of the Grand Dao, Luo Hu, Hun Kun Old Ancestor, etc. Of course, there are also some reclusive strong ones, such as Chi Ming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya, Moon God Wang Shu, etc.

The sleeping evolution of the Heavenly Dao led to the suppression of Patriarch-level beings by heavenly will, causing the cultivation realms in the Honghuang world to become blurred. People only know that after the Great Luo Golden Immortal comes the Quasi-Sage Realm, and now the Patriarchs have already stepped into a mysterious realm—neither Quasi-Sage nor Sage.

Ye Qin absorbed the surging soul torrent, his Heavenly Dao Soul continuously giving rise to new soul bloodline channels.

These channels seem to be paths of soul power circulation forged within the soul.

After soul power enters these channels and transforms into soul blood, his strength has been further enhanced.

The generation of soul blood is a unique mark of the Heavenly Dao Soul, this is the soul evolution path Ye Qin comprehended after devouring the remnants of the ancient wilderness gods' souls.

And after devouring Pan Wang's soul and combining it with the Soul Dao, he further created a unique Soul Dao, forming soul bloodlines, allowing soul blood to circulate.

After a long time, Ye Qin finally completely absorbed the souls of the Dragon Court's living beings, reaping a bountiful harvest.

Among them, the Nine Dragons Dao and the Divine Ability fragments of the Great Dao cultivated by the Scale Armor Clan contained in the souls of the Nine Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were all integrated by him into his own Heavenly Dragon Dao, causing the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range in the Carefree Realm to undergo earth-shaking changes, the mountain range's form reshaped.

Furthermore, the Yang Yang Qi in the souls of the Nine Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, although its quality cannot compare to the Ancestral Dragon's Yang Yang Qi, is still sufficient to integrate into the Pure Yang Immortal Realm, expanding its landmass.

On the battlefield outside, tens of millions of Dragon Court living beings and the living beings of the Kirin King's camp perished together, soul fragments scattered everywhere.

Ye Qin was like an tireless machine, continuously absorbing these soul fragments, triggering a soul storm.

I don't know how long passed, the blood sea on the ground gradually dissipated, the soul storm in the sky also subsided, leaving only the souls of Cheng Qin and the Primordial Azure Ox floating alone.

"You... you don't intend to devour us?" Cheng Qin's voice carried a hint of fear, its eyes seeing Ye Qin as nothing less than a demon that devours everything.

"Cheng Qin, Primordial Strange Beast, single horn containing aberrant thunder; Primordial Azure Ox, immense strength, both are excellent mount choices, let's keep them for now." Ye Qin said lightly, already having future plans in mind. These Primordial Strange Beasts are few in number, great in potential, and are top-notch choices for mounts.

After bringing Cheng Qin and the Primordial Azure Ox into the Carefree Realm, Ye Qin raised his head to look at the sky, only to see a mysterious existence flickering with a black "Wang" character seal, within which the soul of a black giant tiger was sealed; also, a gas containing spiritual intelligence floated in the air.

"Reveal yourselves! I have already discovered you!" Ye Qin shouted. But seeing no movement, he reached out and grabbed that "Wang" character seal, which he held in his hand, constantly struggling, exuding a sovereign aura; while that mass of gas, Ye Qin was very familiar with, it contained the essence of ancient deities.

"Eh? It's actually the Ziwei Emperor Dao? This black tiger is no trivial matter, possessing both the Western slaughterous qi of the White Tiger clan and mastering the innate Divine Ability of the Ziwei Emperor Dao. If allowed to grow, it will surely establish a great power comparable to the Dragon Court! And this mass of gas, it actually has the aura of primordial chaos yuanqi calamity-era deities!" Ye Qin murmured, storing them in the Carefree Realm for now.

For these two souls, Ye Qin is not in a hurry to absorb them. Because at this moment, the soul's dark sea in the soul realm has already surged like a flood, inundating the entire soul realm.

All dust settled, Ye Qin finally had time to properly observe this space. This space is vast and boundless, like a great world, but it lacks primordial qi. The earth presents a chaotic hue, while the sky is permeated with a refining power.

"Refine Heaven, refine Earth, refine all things, and also establish the world's power. More importantly, this refining power is not destruction, but the way of creation that refines dross into treasure. Nüwa, do you not need such a great Dao?" Ye Qin thought secretly.

Ye Qin sat cross-legged, exerted the Law-Breaking Divine Eye, trying to unveil the secret of this world, or to find the method of the Refining Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Layer upon layer of restrictions nakedly appeared before Ye Qin's eyes, these restrictions are immensely powerful, totaling forty-nine layers, exactly the number of restriction layers possessed by a supreme innate treasure. And the core of the restrictions is actually a lotus leaf, as if nurturing spiritual intelligence.

"The mightier the supreme treasure, the harder it is to nurture spiritual intelligence. Indeed so, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the God-Slaying Spear, and the Refining Heaven and Earth Cauldron before me are all supreme innate treasures, transformed from fragments of the Chaos Green Lotus, containing the heaven-defying Great Dao. Wanting them to nurture spiritual intelligence is truly difficult. And Ya Ya's true form, the Chaos Jade Stone, although also belonging to the ranks of supreme treasures, compared to these five supreme treasures, is truly far inferior!" Ye Qin sighed secretly.

He was not truly concerned with the lotus leaf at the core of the supreme treasure, for he had no confidence in breaking through the innermost nine layers of restrictions. He paid more attention to, the Kirin King's soul intention in the outer thirty layers of restrictions. Obviously, the Kirin King has already refined the Refining Heaven and Earth Cauldron to the thirtieth layer.

"Hehe, I will first refine the nine layers of restrictions between thirty and forty, then layer by layer devour the Kirin King's intention. Hehe, let the Kirin King cry! However, the Kirin King has not offended me, is my doing this a bit improper?" Ye Qin secretly pondered, but after a thought, in the Honghuang world of the weak preying on the strong, where is there a distinction between good and evil? Moreover, the Kirin King may not be a good person either. Thus, he set his mind at ease and began to act.

Powerful soul power transformed into a soul hammer, attacking the thirty-first layer of restriction.

Soon, Ye Qin comprehended the great dao runes and function of this layer of restriction.

Next is the thirty-second layer, although it took a bit more time, but in the end he still successfully broke it.

The deeper into the restriction, the greater the difficulty of breaking it.

But Ye Qin now lacks nothing but soul power. This way, he can both train soul power through Divine Ability and condense soul.

Thirty-third layer...

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment, as if a hundred years had passed, yet as if only an instant had elapsed.

Boom— a great sound, the fortieth layer of restriction was successfully broken by Ye Qin.

Thus, he has already occupied ten layers of restriction. At this moment, he feels the outer thirty layers of restriction are as if they were his subordinates.

Just as Ye Qin wanted to drive out all of the Kirin King's soul intention, the runes of the thirty-thousand layer restriction suddenly rapidly combined, forming a great devouring force. I don't know what the Kirin King is devouring.

Streams of five-colored light flashed in this space and were quickly refined into drops of five-element primordial source liquid.

Ye Qin's Five Elements Turning Wheel quickly activated, absorbing these Five Elements origins.

"What a good person! It moves me to tears!" Ye Qin secretly rejoiced in his heart. But then he thought of how he had previously been scheming against the Kirin King and felt a bit ashamed, but soon he let it go, thinking that integrity and such things didn't matter.

Outside the Five Elements Secret Realm, the Kirin King was still striving to break the formation.

"The Five Elements Qi is just right to replenish my world!" the Kirin King muttered to himself.

However, at this moment he suddenly felt something was wrong—why was his control over the Cosmos Cauldron growing weaker and weaker?

He hurriedly checked the situation in his small world and was instantly struck by lightning, a suffocating gloom pent up in his heart with no way to vent.

What did he discover? In the small world, only the Four Clouds Stele stood firm like a heavenly pillar, unmoving. Yet where was the trace of the Cosmos Cauldron?

In the sky, emptiness stretched endlessly where the Cosmos Cauldron had once floated; only its powerful aura lingered, refusing to dissipate, reminding the Kirin King that he had once possessed an innate supreme treasure.

Beneath the towering shadow of the Four Clouds Stele, a flicker of green light flashed, as if it were peering at this ancient stone tablet.

Suddenly, an angry voice echoed through the heavens: "Who dares reveal yourself?"

Accompanied by the roar, the Kirin King manipulated the Four Clouds Stele, like a mountain, smashing toward that flicker of green light.

The mighty power, wrapped with the force of the world, instantly struck the observer out of the small world's range, exposing him at the edge of the Honghuang Five Elements Secret Realm.

"Hey, Kirin King, long time no see!" a familiar laugh rang out, and Ye Qin's face, bearing a hint of teasing, entered the Kirin King's view.

"How am I? You know it in your heart! Return my Cosmos Cauldron!" the Kirin King glared, his words already accompanied by a swinging fist straight for Ye Qin's face. His cultivation of the Four Clouds Great Dao made his fleshly body, though not as formidable as the Ancestral Dragon's, yet with the support of the small world and worldly power, this punch's force was enough to shake heaven and earth.

With a thunderous boom, fist met fist, the earth trembled, and a deep chasm silently split open, separating Ye Qin and the Kirin King.

Immediately afterward, a colossal Four Clouds Kirin appeared in the sky, its head like a dragon, body like a horse, shape like a deer, tail like an ox, colors variegated, treading on four auspicious clouds, mighty and awe-inspiring.

Wild winds howled, flames raged heavenward, and the four great elements—earth, water, fire, wind—converged into myriad Divine Abilities, sweeping toward Ye Qin like a flood.

These Divine Abilities transformed endlessly: some like towering mountains and steep ridges, some like sturdy shields, some curved like a new moon, some sharp as swords, together expounding the mysteries of the creation of all things.

Facing the Kirin King's Four Clouds Great Dao, Ye Qin felt no fear in his heart. Although he had once absorbed the blood and souls of the three tribes at the foot of Kirin Cliff and had some familiarity with the runes of the Four Clouds Great Dao, it was not complete.

However, for the Great Dao runes, Ye Qin had always believed in the principle of the more, the better.

But at this moment, he did not choose to directly devour the Kirin King's Divine Abilities, because he sensed that the Kirin King's Cultivation Level had already far surpassed the Dragon Emperor, and within those four clouds of Divine Abilities lay the Kirin King's steadfast will. (End of Chapter)
