High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie took a deep breath of the polluted air that ignited his fighting spirit, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further.

He suppressed the urge to immediately unleash his tenth-tier peak Saint Soul, greatly enhanced by the inheritance of the second volume of the "Soul Book," to sweep across the entire map.

"The 'fighting-to-fight' technique of the Battle Saint Body needs to be triggered through real physical combat. These vengeful spirits are all at a higher level than me, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator; they're practically perfect 'experience packs'!"

"Alright, let's begin. Let's start with the first one."

With a firm thought, Su Jie's aura changed drastically!

"boom--!"

At the center of his brow, a dazzling light burst forth, and a tenth-order Primordial Chaos Dharma Image, towering twelve feet tall and exuding the aura of the primordial chaos, descended majestically!

His appearance was exactly the same as Su Jie's, but he was even more majestic. Ten supreme law halos slowly rotated around his body, and the supreme Dao charm of chaos, time and space, destiny, creation and so on intertwined, subtly repelling the filthy resentment around him.

Dark golden light surged from Su Jie's body, spreading and covering his Dharma form like a living thing—the Undying Armor (a seven-piece divine armor) was instantly equipped!

Helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, leg armor, boots, and cloak—each component is engraved with ancient divine runes, perfectly integrated with the Primordial Dharma Image, making it even more indestructible, like an immortal war god who has stepped out of mythology.

In Su Jie's main body, the ancient and simple Great Luo Sword Embryo automatically appeared, emitting a low and pleasant hum.

At the same time, within the enormous right hand of the Primordial Chaos Dharma Image, a phantom image of a Great Luo Sword Embryo, entirely condensed from the Dharma Image's origin, simultaneously materialized. Although the sword's edge was not a physical entity, the sharp sword intent it emitted stirred up the wind and clouds.

Power surged within me, and data was clearly reflected in my mind:

Dharma Form + Divine Ring base bonus: 60 Source

Battle Saint Body (70% Awakening) Super God Foundation: 44800 Source

Basic bonus for using war to sustain war: 5000 resources

Bloodline (God-level Supreme) Bonus: 1 Source Points

Overall basic combat strength: 659800 Source

Additional combat power of the Great Luo Sword Embryo: 10 Yuan

The Undying Armor's additional combat power: 3.5 Yuan.

Total additional combat power: 13.5 Yuan

Total combat power under normal circumstances: 794800 Source

"There's no need to activate the Primordial Chaos Domain yet. With a normal level of nearly 800,000 Source Points, it's enough to deal with these first-tier vengeful spirits that average 400,000 Source Points." Su Jie locked onto the nearest level-one nest that was pulsating like a heart, his eyes icy cold.

"Sever its head first, then throw its formation into disarray." With focused thought, the peak tenth-tier holy soul within his sea of ​​consciousness stirred slightly. An invisible, intangible holy soul thorn shot out silently, instantly piercing through the thick biological flesh wall of the nest and precisely striking the first-tier strange creature at its core!

"Sizzle—!!!"

A piercing, agonizing, and bewildered scream erupted from the depths of the lair, only to be abruptly cut short as if someone had been strangled. The first-tier monster, with a battle power of a million Origin, hadn't even had a chance to display any of its abilities before its soul core was completely pierced and annihilated by Su Jie's tenth-tier Saint Soul attack!

At the moment of his bizarre death, the Soul-Devouring Pearl within Su Jie's body suddenly heated up, and a pure suction force surged out, forcibly drawing in the dissipated soul essence from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of pure soul power flowed back into Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness like a clear spring.

Su Jie's spirits lifted, and his soul power activity and purity slightly improved.

"However, the amount of accumulation required to break through to the 'Divine Soul' realm is probably astronomical."

He subconsciously asked, "System, based on the amount of soul power you just received, how much soul energy would I need to accumulate soul energy using the Soul Devouring Pearl to assist in breaking through to the 'Divine Soul' realm?"

[Based on the energy of the 'First-Order Mysterious' soul essence that was just absorbed...] The system responded quickly, [Combining the relevant records in the "Soul Book" and the host's foundation for calculation...]

It paused briefly, as if it were performing calculations.

A first-tier bizarre ability can increase soul energy by approximately 10 points. Preliminary estimates suggest that approximately one hundred million soul energies are needed to reach the minimum energy reserve threshold required to trigger a Saint Soul transformation.

Note: This is only the energy foundation. A breakthrough in the divine soul involves multiple hurdles, including fundamental transformation and rule fusion; energy accumulation is merely one of the prerequisites.

"One hundred million points..." Su Jie took a soft breath, his gaze falling on the hundred level-one nests. "How many points can each level-one nest, with tens of thousands of vengeful spirits and one strange entity, provide?"

According to the analysis, a first-tier Undying Vengeful Spirit has a turbid soul and incomplete intelligence, providing approximately 1 point of standard soul energy. A first-tier Mysterious Spirit provides approximately 10 points.

Following this logic, a second-tier vengeful spirit yields approximately 20 points, a second-tier eerie spirit approximately 100 points, a third-tier vengeful spirit approximately 200 points, and a third-tier eerie spirit is estimated to be over 1000 points. The system quickly provided a conversion table: "The theoretical total harvestable area is approximately 57 points."

The distance to one hundred million was like heaven and earth. But there was no discouragement in Su Jie's eyes; instead, a more intense flame ignited within them.

"A towering building rises from the ground, and a hundred million begins with the accumulation of this very first step! Having a goal is always better than groping aimlessly!"

The tens of thousands of first-tier undead vengeful spirits inside the nest went into a frenzy the moment that one died so strangely!

Having lost their core's eerie control and suppression, and thoroughly stimulated by the boundless and intense life force emanating from Su Jie, they roared in chaos, like a black swarm of bees that had been disturbed.

It surged wildly from every hole and crack in the nest, turning into a filthy, writhing wave of death that swept towards Su Jie!

"Well done!" Su Jie shouted in a low voice, taking the initiative to step forward and charge!

The main body and the Primordial Dharma Image above its head moved in sync, transforming into a stream of light that tore through the dark world and crashed into the surging tide of vengeful spirits!

"cut!"

The sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning! Su Jie, wielding the Great Luo Sword Embryo, delivered a simple, basic thrust, yet with absolute speed and power, it instantly pierced through the first corrupted humanoid vengeful spirit to strike him!

The sword energy surged forth, twisting it from the inside out into a cloud of black smoke that dispersed in all directions.

[Slay a Tier 1 Undead Wraith (above its level). Triggers the Battle Saint Body trait 'Fighting to Sustain Fighting,' temporarily increasing the final combat damage dealt to enemies by 1% in this battle. Current bonus: 1%.]

The Soul-Devouring Bead absorbs remnant souls and converts them into 1 point of standard soul energy.

As the notification sound rang out, a faint heat surged from the depths of the Battle Saint Body within the body with each kill, a sign that the "fighting to sustain fighting" characteristic had been activated.

A faint, almost imperceptible rhythm emanated from the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand. Inside the sword embryo, it was drawing upon some incomplete and distorted "traces of law" from the dissipated body of the annihilated vengeful spirit.

Su Jie exclaimed in surprise, "System, is the Great Luo Sword Embryo absorbing the power of the laws of these vengeful spirits?"

[Correct.] The system responded quickly.

[This system was previously determined to require the 'Sword of Wisdom of Laws' as a foundation, which is somewhat limiting. These 'Undying Wraiths' are aberrant variants born from the corruption and distortion of the laws, and their existence is based on the incomplete framework of the laws.]

Especially for vengeful spirits of the first rank and above, a 'Crystal of the Origin of Law' has naturally condensed within their souls, resembling a 'Sword of Wisdom of Law' but filled with resentment and chaos.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo can directly peel away and melt these fundamental law crystals to complete itself and evolve into a 'fundamental magic weapon'.
