Chapter 1582: Seeing Through Heaven and Earth

Ye Liuyun expressionlessly watched Underworld God casually swing his sword, slaughtering the Yin Souls in the formation.

He also understood that Underworld God was deliberately holding back, wanting to kill all the Yin Souls inside his Soul Banner.

He watched the Yin Souls dissipate one by one, heard their howls, calculated Underworld God's consumption of True Essence and yin energy, and felt the strength of Underworld God.

Suddenly he felt that Underworld God's might was like the suppression of Martial Cultivators by Heaven and Earth, an uncrossable chasm for those Yin Souls slightly lower in realm.

Gradually, everything before him seemed to have changed.

The fighter became himself, and the opponent was no longer Underworld God, but the rules of Heaven and Earth.

「Heaven and Earth, that is Heaven and Earth.

I understand! The Heaven-Earth Realm is the process where Martial Cultivators, after breaking through the life-and-death realm, challenge the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Only by breaking through the rules of Heaven and Earth could his realm possibly truly reach the Divine Realm.

And a Martial Cultivator who has reached the Divine Realm also signifies that he has the ability to break through the rules of Heaven and Earth! 」

Ye Liuyun had an instant epiphany!

At this moment, what he saw had completely become himself battling the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Although seeing through does not mean he has the ability to break through Heaven and Earth's rules, this epiphany is a rare opportunity for a Martial Cultivator's lifetime mental transformation.

Ye Liuyun's cultivation path has always lacked guidance; it's been the insights he found through his own step-by-step exploration.

If he had received guidance from an expert, he might have long understood the true meaning of the Heaven-Earth Realm.

But then he would not have had this opportunity for epiphany.

Epiphany, for a Martial Cultivator, is a transformation.

Such transformation usually occurs under stimulation of certain specific conditions.

Some are transformations of strength, some are transformations of mindset.

Especially a mindset transformation is even rarer.

Although strength shows no obvious increase, the future cultivation path will be smooth and rapid progress.

But one who enters epiphany is completely immersed in his own consciousness world, unable to feel changes in the outside world.

Some people's epiphany lasts only a short time, while others may even last several months or years.

In a person's consciousness world, there is no concept of time.

The epiphany experiencer himself cannot feel the passage of time.

During this process, those who enter the epiphany state remain as they were before, undergoing no change.

Therefore many Martial Cultivators are easily killed by opponents during this process.

Even if not killed, once this process is interrupted, the chance of having such an opportunity again is almost zero.

Ye Liuyun is now in this state.

His spellcraft continues to be cast subconsciously, and his gaze is also observing everything before him.

But in reality he cannot see what is happening.

His avatar, sharing his mind, immediately sensed that he had entered the state of epiphany.

"Really, it's time!"

The avatar was also speechless!

At this moment, if Underworld God attacked Ye Liuyun, he would make no reaction and would easily be killed by Underworld God.

Even if Underworld God let out a loud shout at Ye Liuyun, using sound-wave attacks, it could interrupt Ye Liuyun's epiphany.

It might even cause Ye Liuyun to vomit blood from the shock.

The avatar naturally also knew that epiphany was of great benefit to Ye Liuyun.

But now, still in battle, no one can predict how long Ye Liuyun's epiphany will last; it entirely depends on himself.

"If it's only a short time, that's fine, but if it's several quarters of an hour, or several hours…"

The avatar also dared not think further.

Even a few breaths' time now could change the situation, meaning great danger.

Several hours under these circumstances is nothing but a luxury.

Several days, even several months, that's not even worth thinking about!

Underworld God obviously won't give him that much time.

If Underworld God once noticed Ye Liuyun in the epiphany state and broke the formation, he could only awaken Ye Liuyun in advance.

For Ye Liuyun, this would undoubtedly be a lifelong regret.

The avatar can only nervously maintain it at this moment.

He still dares not change the current attack intensity, fearing Underworld God would notice something amiss.

From when Underworld God entered the formation until now, he has already slaughtered thousands of Tianzun Realm Yin Souls.

There are also twenty or thirty Ninth Layer Tianzun Yin Souls.

Ordinary Tianzun Realm Yin Souls, Underworld God can wipe out a large area with a single sword.

This consumption rate makes even Xiu Luo feel heartache.

When the Yin Soul consumption exceeds ten thousand, Xiu Luo couldn't help but ask the avatar how much longer they must continue.

The avatar sighed: "He has now entered the epiphany state! I don't know either; I can only hold on!"

"Epiphany?"

Xiu Luo also stared blankly for a while before helplessly saying: "Really, it's time!"

She now understood that if Ye Liuyun cannot recover from the epiphany state himself, and Underworld God also never notices, then the avatar might exhaust all the Yin Souls inside the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

If Underworld God discovers it early, the avatar might also release the Yin Souls to fully block Underworld God from killing Ye Liuyun.

Therefore she immediately had all the Yin Souls inside the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner prepare for battle.

She also held the three golden feather plumes in her hand, quietly waiting for that moment to arrive.

Fighting the Underworld God, she would surely die.

Afterwards, she watched the Yin Souls of the Ninefold Heavenly Sovereign emerge one by one from the Soul Banner, disappearing before her eyes, and she also felt a sense of desolate sorrow.

This is the destiny of these Yin Souls.

The Hundred-Refined Soul Banner is a treasure, and the Yin Souls, as part of the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, are merely tools for Ye Liuyun's battle.

They have no right to choose life or death.

The avatar also felt the changes within the Soul Banner.

He also comforted Shura, saying: "You don't need to be nervous.

"I won't let you go to your death!"

"Why...... why?"

Shura was somewhat surprised, also somewhat excited.

"Because I did not regard you as an ordinary Yin Soul.

"To me, you are more like a friend!"

The avatar explained.

Shura's place in Ye Liuyun's heart is indeed different from that of other Yin Souls.

Ye Liuyun could also feel Shura's sincere help.

"If it truly becomes necessary to fill all the Yin Souls, I will eventually let you go directly!"

The avatar added.

"Oh!"

Shura instinctively responded with a sound.

But at this moment, her whole body trembled loftily from excitement.

"He actually treats me as a friend!"

She kept repeating this sentence in her heart, also recalling the bits and pieces of her interactions with Ye Liuyun.

She initially helped Ye Liuyun entirely because she was controlled by the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

But gradually, she was shocked by Ye Liuyun's strength and speed of improvement, though that was all it was—just shock—and she even thought he was merely lucky, possessing many treasures.
