Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 516 Heavenly Soul

"I'll fight you to the death!"

In a short while, he lost another ten percent of his power. The Nine Heavens Venerable had no desire to live anymore and immediately prepared to mobilize all his energy to self-destruct.

Although he was much weaker than his peak performance just now, at this close range, I don't believe I can't blow up this freak in front of me.

"What are you trying to win?" Xiao Yan calmly hovered in front of the Nine Heavens Venerable, feeling the energy he was absorbing growing faster and more abundantly.

Struck by him, the Super Void Devouring Flame had already enveloped the Nine Heavens Venerable's entire body meridians. The Nine Heavens Venerable's attempt to self-destruct was merely a way to cooperate with his devouring of energy.

"Ah!" Jiutianzun cried out in surprise, releasing another burst of power. He had no strength left to speak and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yan toyed with him.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Venerable is like a super version of the 'Origin of the Soul'.

The soul is the foundation of all living beings. All things in heaven and earth possess a soul, and deep within the soul lies a trace of its original essence. This is the fundamental reason for the birth of the soul, and it can also be said to be the purest and most unique energy in the world.

The Soul Palace's strategy for conquering the Dou Qi Continent involves collecting souls, and the only way to achieve a qualitative leap is through sheer quantity.

While it's possible for someone like Jiutian Zun to directly devour numerous severely injured Dou Zun, Xiao Yan wouldn't dare say there were no precedents, but they were certainly extremely rare.

The effect of devouring one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables is absolutely no less than the soul essence condensed from devouring a million souls.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens Venerable also possesses considerable fighting spirit strength.

Devouring him will not only enhance your soul power, but also increase your battle aura strength.

However, while such a super energy source can achieve great results, one still needs a certain level of strength to truly benefit from it.

Otherwise, the Nine Heavens Venerable already contained the resentment and unwillingness of the powerful figures like the Lion Nether Sect before their deaths, plus his own unwillingness to accept death.

The soul contains far too many complex elements; if one absorbs them indiscriminately, it will inevitably affect one's mind.

Only someone with Xiao Yan's unique cultivation technique, possessing the Super Void Devouring Flame, could easily devour the entire Nine Heavens Venerable.

As Xiao Yan absorbed and refined the fighting spirit and soul power of the Nine Heavens Venerable, and sensed the special bloodline of his body, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Having reached the Celestial Venerable level, he was no longer an ordinary human powerhouse, but a member of the ancient Soul Clan.

Of the eight ancient clans, Xiao Yan only thoroughly studied the Dou Di bloodline of the Ancient Clan, but knew nothing about the other seven clans.

With the Nine Heavens Venerable as a reference, Xiao Yan immediately began to comprehend the secrets of the ancient Soul Clan.

Although the eight ancient clans are powerful, they will ultimately be limited by the bloodline of the Dou Di.

Bloodline depletion, in particular, was a nightmare for the eight ancient clans.

In this world, only the Dou Di bloodlines of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are still considered good; the Dou Di bloodlines of the other clans have already shown signs of decline, and their strength is far inferior to that of the former two.

Suddenly, a burst of red light shot out from the blood-red flame rune between Xiao Yan's eyebrows, enveloping the Nine Heavens Venerable.

Although the effects of the Dou Di bloodline of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are not produced by a single Dou Di, they are both Dou Di and are both human. Therefore, tracing back to their origins, they have certain similarities.

The effect of the Blood Seal shone on the Nine Heavens Venerable, causing Xiao Yan's Super Void Devouring Flame to surge, transforming into a raging inferno that enveloped the Nine Heavens Venerable entirely.

Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his hand, a ball of crimson blood floating in his palm.

It was the essence and blood condensed within the body of the Nine Heavens Venerable.

Without this portion of the Dou Di bloodline, the Nine Heavens Venerable was almost no different from an ordinary person, and the effect of the Blood Forbidden Seal instantly became even stronger.

As the intense heat of the Super Void Devouring Flame took effect, the Nine Heavens Venerable's entire body seemed to be roasted, with blood blisters appearing all over his skin.

Faintly, wisps of extremely faint black energy rose from it, then transformed into Tang Wu and disappeared.

Upon seeing this black aura, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing an extremely faint intent within it.

It was clearly the resentment of the powerful members of the Lion Nether Sect. If this were absorbed into their souls, it would cause considerable hidden dangers.

"These guys from the Soul Palace are really strange."

With a thought, Xiao Yan unleashed the Super Void Devouring Flame, which surged and refined all the black energy hidden within the ball of light. As the black energy dissipated, the Nine Heavens Venerable gradually transformed into a cloud of mist, changing from black to white, becoming increasingly transparent and crystalline, as if it were an illusion.

This refining process lasted for half an hour before Xiao Yan slowly dissipated the flames. Gazing at the crystal-like soul light cluster floating in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a flick of his hand, the restrictive power between his brows surged forth, and the blood-red light, carrying a terrifying devouring power, swallowed the entire cloud of mist.

As the entire cloud of mist was swallowed up, an exceptionally pure power of the soul's origin spread out, eventually wrapping around Xiao Yan's soul and beginning to merge with it continuously.

As more and more soul essence was absorbed, a strange crystal layer, resembling crystal, gradually appeared on the surface of Xiao Yan's soul.

The mist rippled gently, producing a series of crisp sounds like splashing water, as streams of exceptionally pure primordial soul power continuously flowed into Xiao Yan's soul...

Under this infusion, a faint sense of intoxication appeared on the face of Xiao Yan's soul-formed body.

Enveloped by these primordial souls, he felt as if his soul was being bathed in a warm light, a feeling that was indescribably comfortable.

Layers of faint, strange crystals quietly appeared on the surface of the soul's body, vaguely resembling a tangible human figure, which was extremely magical.

The white mist refined by the Nine Heavens Venerable contained an extremely terrifying power of the soul's origin, which was gathered from the essence of more than a dozen Dou Zun.

Even Xiao Yan felt a subtle sense of insignificance before such a vast source of soul essence.

Although his cultivation of soul power has always been slow, there is a Soul Palace in the Dou Qi Continent that likes to collect souls, so Xiao Yan has never worried about the speed of his soul cultivation.

As more and more of the soul essence within it was absorbed by Xiao Yan, invisible ripples slowly spread out from Xiao Yan as the center.

An invisible fluctuation caused the area within a thousand feet of the mountain to suddenly become silent. All living things in the mountains and forests felt a pressure from the depths of their souls in that instant.

The soul power that had been trapped in the spiritual realm for many days finally made a qualitative leap.

The breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm was a natural and successful outcome!

Moreover, Xiao Yan's strength as a five-star Dou Zun, which he had only recently broken through to, had also increased significantly.
