Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

The Soul River is a rather unique one among the four vanguards. Compared to the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, the Four-Level Floating Pagoda, and the Ancient Underworld, the Soul River's mission is not to invade, but to imprison and guard.

The so-called River of Souls is a prison, specifically for detaining talented individuals with potential.

In the original story, the Ten-Crown King was imprisoned in the River of Souls, and this River of Souls was forged by the imprisoned Immortal King.

"Useless! My body is imbued with the golden essence of immortality, the Dao is indestructible, and I will never die!"

At this moment, Qin Tian was too divine, every inch of his skin was overflowing with immortal light. As a being of the Immortal King level, there was nothing that could harm him. Even the Soul River could not erase his immortal golden nature.

On the contrary, under the influence of the Soul River, Qin Tian absorbed the power of all living beings, tempering and refining himself, making his immortal golden nature even more brilliant, and the humanistic aura within it even more vigorous, like a majestic innate deity, a supreme god who only existed in the distant past when heaven and earth were created.

The form of the golden core was also changing little by little, constantly sublimating according to Qin Tian's will.

The innate immortal true spirit contains incomparably powerful energy, but Qin Tian has only initially refined it, generating a golden core, and has not yet truly integrated it into himself.

Qin Tian speculated that once he completely mastered this innate immortal true spirit, shattered the golden core, and transformed it into his own body, refining it into one with his primordial spirit and physical body, he might be able to break through the King Realm and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

"I know which way to go from here!" Qin Tianming understood the path to becoming Emperor Wang Cheng.

He watched as every inch of his flesh and blood was dyed with a brilliant color by that immortal golden light, and an incomparably powerful force filled his body, transforming into immortal light to resist the death energy of the River of Souls.

The primordial golden core shrank almost imperceptibly, bringing Qin Tian one step closer to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Qin Tian's gaze towards the River of Souls was different now: "River of Souls, the River of Death for all living beings!"

"Containing the essence of countless immortal kings, what an incredible opportunity!" Qin Tian's eyes burned with fervor.

The things that are innate can only be enhanced by the power of all living beings, because the power of all living beings is essentially a kind of power of the innate, imperishable true spirit.

It is a secondary power derived from the innate immortal spirit. Theoretically, if this secondary power is large enough, it can change the innate immortal spirit.

Like the power of faith, it is the insignificant power contributed by the will influencing the innate, immortal true spirit.

Therefore, it possesses boundless power, capable of consolidating the primordial spirit of an Immortal King, and enabling living beings to transcend the ages and ascend to the quasi-Immortal Emperor status.

This is because the innate, indestructible true spirit is itself a quasi-immortal emperor level entity, so it is only natural that it can elevate living beings to the quasi-immortal emperor level.

His golden core was developed through his own will, and without a doubt, the River of Souls is also a kind of power of all living beings, a river of death that draws on the essence of countless living beings, and has a miraculous effect on Dao derivatives such as the innate immortal true spirit.

This could stimulate the immortal golden core, causing it to disintegrate more quickly and propelling Qin Tian toward the quasi-immortal emperor realm.

"The River of Souls descends, annihilating the world!" The nine-headed monster summoned the River of Souls, drawing upon numerous Immortal Kings.

One powerful Dao principle after another descended from the River of Souls. These were the imprints of Immortal Kings—not just one or two, but more than twenty. The number was too great, too astonishing, and with the passage of time, the number of such beings continued to increase.

Their bizarre race swept across countless eras, possessing nothing but a multitude of Celestial Kings.

These are just the ones that can arrive quickly from nearby. If Qin Tian doesn't kill this group of Immortal Kings in a short time, it's estimated that a terrifying scene of a million Immortal Kings ganging up on one person will soon appear.

One after another, Immortal Kings appeared in the center of the battlefield along the River of Souls, intending to kill Qin Tian and bury him in the River of Souls.

But Qin Tian, ​​wielding the indestructible golden spear, was practically invincible.

This can be described as a divine weapon derived from the Great Dao. It is extremely sharp and nothing can withstand it. In just a few thrusts, the Immortal Kings who came from the River of Souls fell one by one under his spear.

After the battle, Qin Tian did not flee. Instead, he took the initiative to step into the River of Souls, intending to go against the current and kill his way to the source of the River of Souls.

Requesting monthly votes, recommendations, and favorites.

Chapter 668 Going Against the Current, the Will of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Soul River!

His will shattered the River of Souls, and the immortal light emanating from his body shone ever brighter and became ever more sacred as the river washed over him.

"Let me see just how powerful this so-called eerie force truly is!" Qin Tian stepped onto the River of Souls, ready to embark on a long journey, heading towards the end of the River of Souls.

He actually wants to invade the River of Souls instead.

This was his first real encounter with the forces of the Mysterious Clan, so he naturally had to carefully consider the situation to determine the relative positions of both sides.

This will determine future strategies!

Qin Tian has broken free from the Three Realms and stepped into the River of Souls. With the Yang God Dao Ancestor protecting him and the emperors overseeing him, the Three Realms are now safe to leave.

He wanted to pursue a higher realm, to continue acting as the protector of the Three Realms in that era of the great war between heaven and earth.

Even though going against the flow of the Soul River is very risky, and you might encounter a quasi-immortal emperor from a strange race.

But he also had to take a gamble and strive for a higher level!

And so, Qin Tian embarked on a path of no return, going against the current of the River of Souls, attempting to find the legendary end of the cycle of reincarnation, the banks of the River of Souls!

.........

The River of Souls flows slowly, its beginning and end unknown.

It flows along the world, submerging one world after another, paving the way for the strange and ominous, the beginning of everything, and also the prophecy of its end.

The arrival of the River of Souls heralds the destruction of all living beings.

Qin Tian traveled upstream along the Soul River. This ancient river was extraordinary; each section contained different mysteries, perfectly embodying the Great Dao of Death.

He wandered in the River of Souls and, after gaining a deeper understanding of this ancient river, discovered that it had similar characteristics to the Boundary Sea, both having evolved from the world.

However, this section of the river was formed from the essence of the world after its destruction. It is the last essence of the universe. At the end of the calamity, some beings extracted the world's origin and integrated it into this ancient river, making it look like it does now.

With each step Qin Tian took, each section of river he crossed, it felt as if an entire era had passed.

Passing through world after world, some worlds have already met their end and begun to become a corner of the River of Souls, while in other worlds they are still struggling, and the creatures in them are fighting against the strange and ominous, fighting bloody battles, and sacrificing their lives.

The strange race did not directly take action; they simply scattered gray matter, plunging the world into an apocalypse and causing all living beings to kill each other, thereby cultivating an elite force belonging to the Gray Era.

It has to be said that the Weird race has a huge advantage in terms of massing troops.

It's much more convenient than reincarnation. You don't even need to take action yourself; you just need to spread strange substances to raise a bloodthirsty army.

It's incredibly profitable with virtually no investment.

However, his reincarnation is not bad either. Even if it is a strange creature, he can drag it to the underworld, wash away the strange substance, and turn it into his own use.

The bizarre harvests the heavens, and reincarnation harvests the bizarre at the same time as it harvests the heavens.

Faced with the Soul River's encroachment on the heavens, Qin Tian naturally could not ignore it. Otherwise, when the Heavenly Court emerged, and only their force remained in the myriad realms, it would be too hopeless.

Qin Tian speculated that Ye Fan's Heavenly Court in the original work was like this. When the Soul River descended, they were still circling around in the human realm. By the time they arrived at the Boundary Sea, this world sea had already been corrupted by something strange.

Looking around, all that could be seen in this world were enemies.

Therefore, they were eager to find the Desolate Emperor from the past.

I hope to get help from this one who will quell the darkness.

Simply because they no longer had any comrades-in-arms in this world.

He traveled along the road, spreading his own system and his own methods.

Let them save themselves; it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

And so, Qin Tian went against the current in the River of Souls, killing countless River of Souls Kings and True Immortals along the way, and saving countless worlds.

It forcibly purified the first half of the River of Souls.

This gave the heavens and earth of the Boundary Sea a little more time to breathe.

Since the strange race is using gray matter to create soldiers, he will teach the laws of the heavens, using gray creatures as a test and strange matter to forge the weapons of the myriad worlds.

Any creature that can survive the attacks of the strange race is a first-rate genius. If they are directly recruited into the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court's combat power can be rapidly strengthened.

"This River of Souls is simply a great opportunity for me!" Qin Tian exclaimed.

This River of Souls can not only enhance his cultivation, but also strengthen his power. It is an unparalleled opportunity that is essential for both home and travel, and for cultivation!

Qin Tian opened his arms, letting the River of Souls wash over his body.

Countless immortal kings' essences flow through this river, and a single drop of its water is equivalent to an immortal king's Dao fruit. Qin Tian allowed the Soul River to wash over him, and every moment, thousands upon thousands of immortal king laws attacked him.

The power of all living beings contained within it made the golden elixir within his body shine even brighter, with strands of holy power flowing through it, and every inch of his bones and every inch of his skin was imbued with an immortal luster.

Meanwhile, the sixth secret realm of the Secret Realm Technique was not idle either. Every drop of water was a different Immortal King Law, which meant that every drop flowing past him would bring a possibility.

Thus, he expanded his three-inch world, making this realm, which contained infinite possibilities, even more solid and immortal.

If he were to encounter that raven again, Qin Tian believed that he would absolutely not be able to break through the Three-Inch Human Realm this time.

He had never felt so exhilarated, cultivating both of his sixth-level secret realms within the confines of a river. It could be said that every breath, every surge of the river, propelled him to become stronger and pushed him toward evolving towards the level of "Emperor".

This extraordinary speed of progress left even Qin Tian speechless.

This is ten times faster than him slowly refining the immortal elixir himself.

"Tsk tsk, this feeling of becoming stronger while lying down is just too good!" Qin Tian opened his three-inch mortal realm, fully accepting the vast soul river, letting it wash over him.

A brilliant and intense golden light shone from Qin Tian's body, like a sun falling into the sea, exuding a sacred aura in the river.

"I never imagined I'd end up on this path!" Qin Tian felt the power within him that had already been sublimated.

This is a completely different realm from that of the Celestial King giants.

He embarked on the path of breaking through the king to become an emperor, and ascended to become an unparalleled giant.

He could already glimpse the gate to the Emperor's Path, which was incredibly high and powerful. He had already left the realm of the Immortal King with one foot, but at the same time, he was about to make a mistake and might fall into emptiness.

Therefore, the realm of supreme giants is also regarded as a precipice. One might not be able to resist the temptation at any time and take a step out of the air, resulting in the destruction of one's soul and body, failure to break through, and death on the spot.

"Practicing the path of breaking through the king to become an emperor is to become an unparalleled giant."

In the past, he thought he didn't have time to slowly explore the path to becoming an emperor, so he could only imitate the Desolate Emperor and directly shatter the immortal golden core in his body, allowing it to completely integrate into his body and soul, thereby achieving ultimate evolution.

Break through the King Realm and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Suddenly, a River of Souls appeared, an accelerator that could speed up his cultivation... This made Qin Tian hesitate.

On one side is the path of breaking through to become an emperor, facing life and death head-on with a high probability of failure; on the other side is a cultivation accelerator that steadily evolves without affecting the first path.

The choice is obvious.

"First, I will practice the path of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor, hone my own Dao fruit, and then look for an opportunity to break through the King and become an Emperor." Qin Tian made up his mind.

Since there's no immediate danger, let's take a bath in the River of Souls first.

As for how much he needs to hone his skills, that depends on when he encounters danger and when the "Emperor" of the Soul River can no longer restrain himself and wants to kill him.

The moment that emperor has a thought will be the moment he breaks through the king and becomes an emperor.

After all, the process of refining one's Dao fruit is never-ending.

"Although it's dangerous, the bigger the waves... the more expensive the fish!" Qin Tian's eyes were deep and sparkling with spiritual light. In the Boundary Sea, he had the help of the Unparalleled Eternity and the divine light and spiritual perception residing in his eyes.

He was confident that he would complete his breakthrough before that quasi-immortal emperor could unleash his killing intent.

If you refine your Dao Fruit now, your breakthrough will come naturally, unlike Shi Hao, who was crippled as soon as he broke through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Who would lose half their life during a normal breakthrough?

The correct path is to ascend to a higher level, like the Butcher or the Burial Master, so that one can immediately participate in the Imperial War.

Shi Hao's method of breaking through was too forceful and too risky.

When he broke through, his cultivation level was insufficient, and he barely managed to break through with the help of others. It took him tens of thousands of years to consolidate his realm and truly become a flawless quasi-immortal emperor.

Only if the protagonist of Perfect World is Shi Hao, otherwise such a breakthrough would inevitably result in an unstable realm.

In other novels, such characters are usually minor, villainous extras who are ultimately defeated.

Qin Tian stretched out a hand and pressed it down into the river in front of him. That hand shone with a crystal-clear radiance, the light of immortal gold, the eternal and free divinity.

"To remain completely silent in front of guests is far too impolite!" Qin Tianping said nonchalantly.

"Roar!"

Faced with this colossal hand that blots out the sky, a king appeared. It was a ferocious beast covered in barbs, standing upright in human form, with a single purple eye filled with bloodshot veins.

He held the sky with both hands, and a terrifying power burst forth from his small body. Yet, the power that could shake the entire world seemed so weak before that one hand.

His once upright body was gradually bent under the weight, and the sound of his bones breaking inch by inch could be heard from within him.

"Outsider, how dare you enter my Soul River! You are courting death!" The One-Eyed Immortal King roared in resentment.

"Great Emperor, you have been discovered!" his primordial spirit roared, "Your fate is sealed; you will be imprisoned in the River of Souls for eternity, unable to live, unable to die!"

"Oh? Is that so!" Qin Tian's expression was calm. His divine sense had not yet given him a warning, which meant that although he had been discovered, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor had not intended to kill him.

"A bit arrogant!" Qin Tian commented.

"However, he certainly has the right to be arrogant!"

What is a Celestial King compared to an Emperor? Nothing! A single drop of blood is enough to create tens of thousands of such beings.
