Chapter 839

Soul Force can enhance Dou Qi cultivation realm; this requires no further explanation.

Xiao Yan did not obtain the second Saint Pupil in vain; during this time, he continuously absorbed the Mysterious Yellow Qi and Inheritance Power within the Saint Pupil, constantly increasing his Soul Power.

Xiao Yan faced Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi with such confidence not because of anything else, but because his Soul Force had already surpassed the Imperial Soul realm.

When he first absorbed the Mysterious Yellow Qi from the first Saint Pupil, Xiao Yan's Soul Force had already reached the peak of Imperial Soul; now it has surpassed Imperial Soul entirely.

On the Dou Qi Continent, Imperial Soul is the ultimate limit—just as Dou Emperors have nine stars, there are no higher recorded ranks, and the same holds true for Soul Realm.

But from the inheritance of the Demon God, Xiao Yan learned of the Divine Soul Realm beyond the Domain Beyond; if classified by Domain Beyond standards, his current Soul Force level should be called Divine Realm.

Once the Divine Soul enters the Divine Realm, the soul can depart the body, ethereal and formless, capable of commanding all things, perceiving illusions, roaming the myriad heavens, and returning at will. 【This passage is from Yuan Zun】

Xiao Yan's current Soul Force is at the Initial Divine Realm stage.

Hearing the booming sound of *dong dong dong*, terrifying Soul Power enveloped Xiao Yan's entire body; as the Soul Power surged in, in the blink of an eye, his cultivation realm skyrocketed to a level even he could hardly believe.

He surpassed the Dou Emperor!

The power that seemed to command stars and all things, capable of shattering continents with a single finger, left Xiao Yan himself stunned.

Dressed in the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor, Xiao Yan looked majestic and peerless; even his body radiated waves of Dou Qi beyond imagination.

Seeing Xiao Yan's spiritual pressure match his own, Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi had long lost his former arrogance; his face turned pale, and what terrified him most was not that Xiao Yan had shattered the impossible barrier of the Heavenly Supreme, but that behind Xiao Yan stood two Supreme Spirit Bodies!

"Two Supreme Spirit Bodies? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could one person cultivate two Supreme Spirit Bodies!" Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi's face turned ashen, as if seeing a ghost—Xiao Yan had shattered the iron laws of the Great Thousand World!

An Earth Supreme confronting a Heavenly Supreme, cultivating two Supreme Spirit Bodies simultaneously!

Instantly, Xiao Yan's hand seals shifted rapidly; as they changed, a gurgling sound echoed—beneath the Demon God Asura Soul Body, the endless dark Universe Space suddenly bubbled forth stagnant waters, surging directly from the Yellow Spring, as if this were the legendary Yellow Spring Water.

With a whooshing sound, boundless Yellow Spring Water surged from the depths of the Universe Space; at that moment, the Demon God Asura Soul Body hovering above Xiao Yan's head opened its mouth and swallowed, devouring the summoned Yellow Spring Water endlessly.

Boom! As the Demon God Asura Soul Body swallowed countless Yellow Spring Waters, the Supreme Spirit Body suddenly rose, transforming into a giant towering in the Universe, arms as thick as Shan Mai, its entire soul body even larger than a continent.

A roar erupted from within the chest of the Demon God Asura Soul Body, like a demonic cry from the depths of hell; the soul body blazed with brilliance, radiating waves of demonic light, as if descending into darkness, dragging all into hell.

The Demon Face's Three Eyes opened simultaneously, emitting an intense ghostly light; a devastating spiritual pressure surged from the Demon God Asura Soul Body, far exceeding that of the Henggu Chi!

"Who… are you?!"

In the instant Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi finished speaking, the Demon Face behind Xiao Yan emitted a ghostly glow, its mouth slightly opening to reveal rows of sharp fangs, sending chills down the spine.

Soul Storms whipped Xiao Yan's Black Soul Robe; facing Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi, Xiao Yan replied calmly: "Soul Sect, Xiao Yan."

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, his gaze sharpened, and he mentally roared: "Huangquan Heavenly Rage!"

Before the words could fully leave his lips, all of this unfolded in an instant.

"Absolute Divine Technique? No—equivalent to the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities!!" Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi's heart lurched in shock!

"Xuan Shi Sacred Shield!!" In that instant, a Sacred Shield materialized before Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi; time ebbed and flowed, Chaos alternated—this shield, standing there, could not even be broken by a Heavenly Supreme.

It was an Absolute Saint Treasure, Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi's life-saving artifact. Yet even as he summoned the Absolute Saint Treasure for defense, his inner alarm did not cease; his behind, the Supreme Spirit Body unleashed its strongest protection, transforming into a Golden Crow that merged into Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi's Heavenly Venerable Spirit Body.

At this moment, Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi resembled a Golden Crow, his body shining like a Solar Star—he had revealed all his trump cards.

This was an attack rivaling the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities!!! A high-level Earth Supreme not only shattered the Heavenly Supreme barrier, but also cultivated two Supreme Spirit Bodies—and now, the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities???

A Heavenly Supreme being forced to fight for his life by a high-level Earth Supreme—who would believe this?!

Yaaaaaa!!

The Demon God Asura Soul Body violently opened its mouth, unleashing a piercing Soul Sound Wave Impact.

In the instant the Demon God Asura Soul Body opened its mouth, the Soul Shock arrived—too fast, utterly devastating, like a landslide of annihilation.

The sound wave swept like a storm; everything it touched turned to nothingness.

Only after the sound wave passed did a thunderous boom echo—the Huangquan Heavenly Rage had obliterated all; the Universe Space before Xiao Yan, everything he saw, was annihilated.

This was no ordinary Huangquan Heavenly Rage; the Huangquan Demon Saint's Huangquan Heavenly Rage was only a Heavenly Rank Advanced Grade Dou Technique; even if a Dou Spirit Body's Supreme Technique could elevate a Dou Technique by one major tier to Great Perfection Divine Ability, it still wasn't enough.

So Xiao Yan conceived using the Demon God Asura Soul Body to fuse with Huangquan Heavenly Rage, elevating its power another rank.

After all, Huangquan Heavenly Rage was inherently a Soul Sound Wave Dou Technique, and the Demon God Asura Soul Body was a unique Soul Supreme Spirit Body; Xiao Yan never imagined their fusion would unleash such terrifying power.

It was simply too terrifying; with a thunderous boom, the devastating force surged instantly into the depths of the heavens, leaving nothing untouched—Meteorite Clusters, Solar Stars, Black Hole Space—all vanished into ash beneath the Soul Sound Wave Impact.

Hearing the cracking sounds of *peng peng peng*, the structure of the Universe Space shattered, revealing countless fissures, triggering endless Space Turbulence Storms; the Universe Space before him appeared shattered, with gaping holes terrifyingly exposed.

At this moment, the colossal golden palace hidden within the Universe Space had been reduced to ash; the Shielding Spirit Array had been obliterated by Huangquan Heavenly Rage; Xiao Yan's figure emerged from the depths of the Universe Space.

Around Ning Tian Continent, countless cultivators, sensing this terrifying Soul Force, this overwhelming power, were struck with horror.

"This power… is… that Heavenly Venerable of Yan's?!" Feeling the terrifying aura of Xiao Yan, even the ancient ancestors of Ancient Families far away trembled in their legs.

They could not imagine such power was generated by an Earth Supreme; even across light-years, this force could be sensed.

"How is this possible? He's only an Earth Supreme!" Bai Teng Medicine King and others had already ceased fighting, their faces ashen; only now did they understand why someone like Nu Shan Medicine Saint would support a person from a Lower Plane.

But Bai Teng Medicine King had clearly misunderstood; Nu Shan Medicine Saint himself was stunned—he had no idea Xiao Yan could unleash such terrifying power.

Not just Bai Teng Medicine King—even the Northern Dragon Emperor paused his attack in shock; he had originally planned to flee with Xiao Yan if all else failed, seeking refuge in the Dragon Clan.

Who would dare provoke the Dragon Clan's territory? But no matter how he calculated, he never imagined Xiao Yan could defeat a Heavenly Supreme!

After Xiao Yan emerged from the depths of the Universe, everyone on Ning Tian Continent ceased fighting; each Earth Supreme cultivator extended their perception through Space, gazing toward the direction of the impact.

There stood Xiao Yan, clad in black robes, hands clasped behind his back, silently gazing ahead. From afar, his figure appeared slender, yet at this moment, before him stretched infinite heavens and distant stars, small and insignificant; in all creation, only he stood supreme—every god and demon in the myriad heavens must kneel before him.

The moment this figure appeared, even the Sun dimmed, its light swallowed as if extinguished.

Across the entire star system, countless continents and beings were paralyzed by Xiao Yan's fleeting Soul Power; their bodies involuntarily shivered, even though they had not seen Xiao Yan nor felt his spiritual pressure—yet their subconscious trembled, their souls quaked in fear.

"He's definitely a Heavenly Supreme!"

"My heavens! This Heavenly Venerable of Yan—no, Heavenly Venerable of Yan is a Heavenly Supreme!" In that instant, countless cultivators collapsed to their knees; even ancestors who had once withstood the might of a Heavenly Supreme now could not bear it—their legs buckled, and they prostrated themselves fully.

It was the submission generated by their inner divine souls!

Even though Xiao Yan's current spiritual energy cultivation was still only at the peak of high-level Earth Supreme, everyone understood: Xiao Yan now possessed the power of a Heavenly Supreme. Even without knowing how he gained this power, they knew without doubt—he was a Heavenly Supreme!

And a Heavenly Supreme stronger than the ordinary kind.

At this moment, the Universe Space was being repaired by an invisible force; the Space Turbulence slowly faded. Sensing this invisible power, Xiao Yan murmured inwardly: "Is this the will of the Great Thousand World?"

The Universe Space was restored; there stood Heavenly Emperor Xuan Shi not far from Xiao Yan—but now he was drenched in blood, his entire body gushing crimson, as if pulled from a pool of blood.

Most terrifying of all, Xuanshi the Great Emperor's entire body was crisscrossed with fresh blood, not a single spot intact — wound after wound struck the eye with horror. His chest had been smashed apart, his brow split open, his arms shattered, his shoulders cleaved, and his Supreme Dharma Body had been obliterated.

Even the shield of that Absolute Saint Treasure had been broken into fragments, with only a small central portion remaining; even if repaired, it could never return to the level of an Absolute Saint Treasure — it would inevitably fall in grade.

The injuries on Xuanshi the Great Emperor's body were truly too horrifying; anyone who saw them could not help but feel their hair stand on end. Looking at the wounds covering his entire body, it seemed that with even the slightest touch, his whole body would simply collapse apart.

At this moment, even though Xuanshi the Great Emperor was a Heavenly Supreme with formidable strength, his physical body could no longer undergo Chong Su, because these were fatal wounds — even if the body were remade, it would be useless, for the injuries to his divine soul within his Supreme Sea were even more severe.

Simply put, the fact that Xuanshi the Great Emperor had not yet died was already a miracle, just like Wuling Heavenly Sovereign — the wounds Wuling Heavenly Sovereign suffered were also severe damage to the divine soul, not physical injuries.

Only Xiao Yan had the confidence to heal this kind of wound.

"Sigh, without Cultivation Realm to support it, the power of a Soul Technique does indeed drop considerably." Xiao Yan could not help but shake his head helplessly — Soul Force was, after all, not Cultivation Realm; even if one's Soul Force realm reached the Heavenly Supreme level, it was still not a Heavenly Supreme.

If Xiao Yan's Cultivation Realm had also reached Heavenly Supreme, Huangquan Heavenly Rage would have blasted Xuanshi the Great Emperor into ashes, not leaving even the tiniest fragment of divine soul behind.

Once the divine soul was blasted into oblivion, even a Saint Grade Medicine Grandmaster would be powerless to save him.

With a hum, Xuanshi the Great Emperor swallowed a Pill, spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and a Precious Jade appeared before him — the jade instantly began to glow.

When the Precious Jade lit up, Xuanshi the Great Emperor was instantly bathed in dazzling, incomparably brilliant radiance. With a clang, in that very instant, a Teleportation Spirit Array of Grand Master Level appeared before him.

In that split-second between lightning and flint, the Teleportation Spirit Array, like a terrifying vortex, generated an incomparably miraculous siphoning force. In that fleeting instant, Xuanshi the Great Emperor was sucked into the Teleportation Spirit Array and instantly transmitted away.

"Trying to flee?" Seeing Xuanshi the Great Emperor attempt to escape, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth curved upward. The Soul Pursuit Lock of the Asura Soul-Slaying Art locked onto Xuanshi the Great Emperor with an invisible Soul Force ripple; the next moment, Strange Fire appeared, instantly burning through Universe Space, and Xiao Yan pursued in a straight line.

A Heavenly Supreme was a treasure trove all over, and even though Xuanshi the Great Emperor had already suffered fatal, grievous wounds — even if he didn't die, his Cultivation Realm would plummet — how could Soul Palace Xiao Yan possibly let a tiger return to the mountain? He chased relentlessly, Transmigrating through endless Universe Space.

Some powerhouses who saw such a scene could not help but be greatly shocked. Someone could not help muttering: "This — am I dreaming? An Earth Supreme chasing a Heavenly Supreme to kill him?!"

No matter who they were — those who saw this scene with their own eyes, or those who merely heard of it — all could not help but draw in a cold breath. Three days ago, everyone had believed that Xiao Yan, who only had the strength of an Upper Earth Supreme, was certain to lose, and that the entire Soul Palace, even the Ning Tian Continent, would be slaughtered — how could the Soul Palace of this Lower Plane possibly stand against the super Faction that was Xuanshi Palace?

A Heavenly Supreme was lofty beyond compare; no matter when or where, a Heavenly Supreme looked upon all directions with disdain.

Yet today, the once-untouchable Xuanshi the Great Emperor was actually being chased and killed by Xiao Yan like a stray cur with no way to heaven and no door to earth — such a thing was truly shocking to all who witnessed it.
