"This Great Celestial Master of the Soul Palace is quite powerful."
Qingmu transformed into a human and came to Lin Ran's side.
There is indeed something special about the combination of man and sword of the Great Heavenly Venerable. If it were not for the help of Lin Ran and several others' spiritual offensive, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to resolve it.
"Senior Gu Long."
"Thank you, Senior Gu Long, for your help."
The three giants of Danta and Yao Chen calmed down their depleted spiritual power, rushed over, and bowed respectfully to Qingmu.
If it weren't for Qingmu today, they would probably have been wiped out by the Great Celestial Lord. The power of a two-star Douluo is not something they can resist now.
"No need to be polite, it's just a transaction."
Aoki spoke calmly. He didn't have much affection for humans.
In his mind, it would be better to meet the king earlier than talking nonsense with Yao Chen and others!
Suddenly, Qingmu's eyes fell on Lin Ran. Seeing Lin Ran's condition, his brows slightly frowned, and then relaxed: "Interesting, I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity."
Lin then came to his senses belatedly, clenched his palms, and when he heard Qingmu's words, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Second Elder Qingmu, this opportunity..."
"The soul powers of all of you are not weak. If your soul powers were combined, even I would be far behind. Just now, that huge soul power was completely integrated into your body. Although it was only for a short moment, it also raised your soul power to an unparalleled level!"
"An incomparable realm…" Lin Ran murmured. Instead, Yao Chen and the three giants of Danta suddenly narrowed their eyes and exclaimed, "Could it be the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm?!"
The soul realm is divided into four levels: mortal, spiritual, heavenly, and emperor.
However, there is actually a transitional level between the Heavenly Realm and the Emperor Realm, called the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.
"Yes, this kid has indeed broken through to the realm of Heavenly Great Perfection just now." Qingmu nodded calmly: "As long as the soul reaches Heavenly Great Perfection, it will be no different from the body. When fighting with others, the soul can be separated and fight together with the body. That kind of tacit understanding is unmatched, and the power is multiplied."
"It's just that it's extremely difficult to reach the Heavenly Realm of Great Perfection. As far as I know, there are only a few people in this world who have reached this realm. I didn't expect that you could actually enter that realm for a short period of time."
Qingmu's words immediately caused Yao Chen and the three giants of Danta to reveal envious expressions. The Heavenly Realm of Great Perfection is a realm that even the ancestors of Danta have never reached. It is also the realm that all alchemists dream of.
Although Lin Ran only broke through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm in a short period of time today, he has felt this power after all. This will be of great benefit and improvement to the future growth of Lin Ran's soul power.
"It was just a fluke."
Lin Ran shook his head, glanced around, and stared towards the back end of the Corpse Burial Mountain Range.
With the deaths of Da Tianzun, Gu You and others, Lin Ran could clearly feel the spatial fluctuations there.
If Lin Ran remembered correctly, this was the location of the Human Palace among the three Tiangang Palaces in the Soul Palace. In the original novel, after defeating the Great Celestial Venerable Gu You, Xiao Yan relied on the soul origin in the Human Palace and directly broke through to the level of Heavenly Realm Great Perfection!
When he thought of this, a hint of heat appeared in Lin Ran's eyes, but soon, this heat was suppressed by Lin Ran.
In the original novel, after the death of Da Tianzun and Gu You, the deputy hall master of Soul Hall arrived in an instant. If it weren't for Zi Yan, Xiao Yan and others would probably have been wiped out.
But...
After all, that is the soul origin that is enough to make the soul break through to the great perfection of the heavenly realm!
Moreover, this space has been sealed off by Qingmu and him, and outsiders absolutely cannot know what happened inside. If the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall is really there, he should have appeared when the Great Heavenly Lord was seriously injured, but he has not appeared yet.
"The timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony. Let's do it!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. At worst, he would use Gu Lie's jade slip!
But at this moment, Aoki's voice sounded again.
"Boy, I have completed what I promised you, and it's time for you to fulfill what you promised me."
"Well..."
Lin Ran smacked his lips.
Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi on the side looked at each other, coughed lightly, and said to Lin Ran: "This matter is over, so we won't stay any longer."
What a cowardly pair of old fellows!
Lin Ran cursed inwardly and wanted to say something, but Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi didn't give Lin Ran any time to react and directly tore through space and left.
Xuan Yi stayed, but his eyes were almost always on Yao Chen.
Lin Ran glanced at Yao Chen, scratched his head and said, "Second Elder Qingmu, rest assured, I will never break my promise, but I have something else that needs to be dealt with right now."
"Anything else?!"
Qingmu narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger, as if to say, the Great Heavenly Venerable's ashes are now scattered, how can you still be in trouble? Are you deceiving me?
Lin Ran coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "If I am not mistaken, deep in this mountain range should be the branch of the Soul Palace."
"If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Now that the Great Celestial Venerable and Gu You are both dead in our hands, we have the responsibility and obligation to destroy this branch of the Soul Palace and rescue the countless souls trapped in it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Lin Ran in astonishment, especially Yao Chen and Qing Mu, who could hardly believe that these words came from Lin Ran's mouth.
"metropolitan..."
But soon, Yao Chen understood something, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded and said: "What the sect master said makes sense. This time we have dealt with the two Heavenly Lords of the Soul Palace, so why not do it to the end, destroy the branch palace, and save the soul."
"The one who understands me is Yao Chen, let's go!"
The two looked at each other, and without waiting for the three giants of Danta and Qingmu to speak, they turned into two streams of light and rushed straight towards the space barrier.
Xuan Yi followed closely behind. Qing Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he also followed.
With the power of space urging them to move forward, the four of them treated the space barrier as nothing and broke directly into it.
"Who dares to break into my Soul Palace? You're seeking death!"
Faced with the four people who did not conceal their auras, the strong men from the Soul Palace inside appeared at the first moment, and the silence of the space was suddenly broken by a series of eerie shouts. Many figures stood up from the chains, and without waiting for any orders, they turned into black light, bringing up an eerie gust of wind, and rushed towards Lin Ran and the others.
But these guys, whose strongest was no more than the initial stage Dou Zun, posed no threat to them at all.
Yao Chen took the lead and with one palm strike, a one-star Dou Zun was directly killed. Xuan Yi followed closely behind. The two of them were like a dragon rushing into a flock of sheep, sweeping away everything in their path. In just a minute or so, all the Soul Palace powerhouses were killed by them.
Lin Ran was too lazy to care about this almost massacre-like situation.
His gaze went straight to the huge palace below. He clapped his hands, and a magnificent green crystal palm print shot out from Lin Ran's palm, directly smashing the huge palace into pieces, revealing countless black chains entangled in it. At the end of those chains, there were countless soul light balls hanging.
Looking at the thousands of souls, Xuanyi and Yaochen were filled with anger, and even Qingmu's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
This practice of completely treating souls as livestock and raising them for harvest and devouring is extremely rare even among magical beasts where the strong prey on the weak.
After all, no matter how strong the weak are, Warcraft will not be so cruel to its own kind...
Lin Ran waved his hand lightly, and a terrifying gust of wind blew past like a gale, and those chains burst apart in an instant.
The souls in the light balls also slowly opened their eyes at this moment, looking around weakly and blankly, and finally suddenly emitted waves of extremely ecstatic soul waves. Although they did not know what exactly happened, they felt a taste of freedom. For many years, they had been locked here like prisoners, and sometimes even death became a luxury.
"Let's go, don't let the Soul Palace catch us again."
Looking at these souls who were almost in tears due to their ecstasy and excitement, Lin Ran said calmly.
In the sky, countless souls were lingering, and finally they all knelt down in front of Lin Ran, performed a great salute to him, and then rushed out of the space barrier with a roar, rushing madly towards the free world outside.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing this scene, Xuanyi and Qingmu looked at Lin Ran with a hint of approval in their eyes.
Obviously, Lin Ran's kind act was very pleasing in their eyes. Even Yao Chen looked a little surprised, wondering if his sect leader was really here to do good deeds?
But the next moment, Lin Ran's action made the three of them speechless.
"Strange, how could there be none?"
A vast fighting spirit burst out from Lin Ran's body, and the terrifying gust of wind directly blew away those stone pillars that were hundreds of feet high. Lin Ran's eyes kept exploring in them, as if he was searching for something.
With Lin Ran's rapid digging, a huge pit appeared in the ruins in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, a ball of light about half a meter in size appeared in front of Lin Ran.
The light ball was transparent, and countless dark chains were connected to the outer periphery of the light ball. The ends of these chains were connected to the souls that had just escaped. Obviously, this light ball should be something extracted from those souls!
"This is... the origin of the soul?!"
"Such a rich soul essence. How much soul power has been accumulated in this branch of the Soul Palace?"
Yao Chen and Xuan Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, and their eyes were fixed on the soul origin in Lin Ran's hand.
At this moment, they knew why Lin Ran suddenly came here. He came here just for this thing!
"So many soul essences, at least millions of souls!"
Qing Mu snorted, "You are a real thief. However, this forcibly condensed soul essence contains countless impurities and negative emotions. If you swallow it directly, let alone increase the power of your soul, I'm afraid your mind will go crazy first."
"good."
Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Lin Ran, although this soul origin is powerful, it contains too many impurities. You absolutely cannot absorb it directly, otherwise something serious will happen!"
"Xuan Yi, how could the Sect Master do something that he is not sure of?"
Yao Chen sighed with a complicated look on his face: "Have you forgotten the strange fire that the sect master controls?"
"Strange fire? Fallen Heart Flame?"
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"If it was just the Fallen Heart Flame, it would take a long time to refine this soul origin. However, the strange fire controlled by the sect master is different." Yao Chen sighed lightly, his expression quite emotional: "The Holy Golden Fallen Heart Fire controlled by the sect master is almost an innate nemesis for these negative emotions and soul impurities. This soul origin is simply a special adventure created for the sect master!"
"It's okay."
Lin Ran grinned and stuffed the soul essence into his bag: "I once wiped out a branch of the Soul Palace in the Northwest Continent and obtained a soul essence. Today, I dealt with the Great Heavenly Venerable and Gu You, so I thought I would try my luck, and it didn't disappoint me."
After these words were spoken, Yao Chen and Xuan Yi looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.
This was a long-planned plan, what else could they say?
"No wonder you have such extraordinary soul power at such a young age, it turns out that you got it by devouring the soul origin." Qingmu snorted. The Taixu Ancient Dragon mainly cultivates the body and does not have a great demand for the soul. Moreover, the soul origin is full of impurities and there is no way to remove it. It is more accurate to say that this thing is a poison rather than a treasure.
"Can you fulfill your promise now?"
"That's natural."
Lin Ran smiled brightly, he made a lot of money in this action, not only he eliminated the three scorpion demons, but also destroyed the Human Palace of the Soul Palace and obtained the soul origin of the Human Palace.
"Please follow me, Second Elder Qingmu!"
Aoki couldn't wait to tear the space apart, and the four people stepped into it and disappeared.
About half a day later, as the space fluctuated slightly, a dark figure emerged. However, when he saw the devastated hall, his face suddenly changed.
Without any hesitation, the black shadow rushed directly into the ruins of the huge palace. When he saw the excavated ruins, his face became completely gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger!
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"Who is this soul that I have been collecting for a hundred years?"
A terrifying aura burst out from this person's body. Even Aoki's aura was slightly inferior to that of others.
But no matter how angry he was, he could not change the facts before him.
Soon, the man took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"To be able to destroy the Human Palace silently, this person's strength must be above three-star Fighting Saint. He must be able to possess the power of a strong man above three-star Fighting Saint…" the black shadow murmured, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the huge ruins.
A huge palm print could be vaguely seen above the ruins, and the remaining fighting spirit in the palm print made the black shadow's pupils shrink.
"This aura...Emperor Seal Technique?!"
"Ancient tribe?!"
