140: Refining Void Realm, achieved

Su Lin's Divine Soul transformed into an invisible sharp sword, fiercely cutting into the torrent of energy.

He was removing the Impurities.

He shattered and stripped away Eternal Life's negative emotions and the lingering thoughts that led to Qi Deviation, leaving only the most fundamental spiritual power.

Part of this purified spiritual power flowed back to Luo Ximei, repairing her damaged body, helping her stabilize her Great Perfection of Body Integration Realm, and allowing her Heart Demon to truly and perfectly fuse with herself.

The remaining, even larger and purer, portion of energy was completely devoured by Su Lin.

Boom!

A thunderous sound came from within Su Lin's body.

It was the sound of the Realm barrier shattering.

A loud bang, not from the outside, but exploding within Su Lin's spiritual world.

The threshold of the Void Refining Stage was thus forcibly broken through.

Luo Ximei could clearly feel a force, completely opposite yet originating from the same source, flowing back into her body from their clasped hands.

That force was pure to the extreme, carrying that inimitable gentle aura from Su Lin's Divine Soul.

The previous pain of her body feeling like it would burst disappeared; now there was an unprecedented sense of fullness.

Under the nourishment of that power, her Divine Soul not only repaired its cracks but even became more condensed.

The Heart Demon that had always lurked deep within her Divine Soul, sometimes tempting her, sometimes fueling her obsessive behavior,

under the harmonization of this power, was no longer an opposing force but truly and completely integrated into her Dao Heart, becoming a part of her.

She was still obsessive, still wanting to possess Revered Master.

But this thought was no longer a weakness that would make her lose control; instead, it transformed into her most solid cornerstone.

However, she didn't have time to experience these subtle changes before another, even more terrifying, pressure startled her into looking up.

Above the stone chamber, the false sky constructed by Eternal Life's obsession was disintegrating.

Endless darkness seeped through the cracks, and at the center of that darkness, a destructive crimson lightning bolt was condensing.

Heavenly Tribulation!

And it was coming for Revered Master!

Su Lin's Breakthrough triggered the Heavenly Dao's will to obliterate.

The Myriad Tribulation Ruins was already in a spatial rift, with chaotic Laws, a blind spot difficult for the Heavenly Dao's power to reach.

But Su Lin's existence, and the power he was currently devouring, which was not tolerated by the world, was still detected by the Heavenly Dao.

This Heavenly Tribulation was far more terrifying than any he had encountered before.

It was no longer mere lightning punishment, but a Chaos Divine Lightning mixed with spatial turbulence and Law fragments.

"Revered Master!" Luo Ximei cried out in alarm, without thinking, she tried to break free from Su Lin's hand and shield him.

"Don't move."

Su Lin's voice was calm, yet carried an irresistible force.

Not only did he not let go, but he held her hand even tighter.

The torrent of energy still circulated between them.

Su Lin purified and absorbed it, while also dedicating a portion of his mind to transfer most of the power to Luo Ximei, helping her stabilize her Realm.

He looked up at the condensing crimson Divine Lightning, his brows slightly furrowed.

Trouble.

He was currently at a critical moment of Breakthrough, with spiritual power surging within him.

His old Realm was not yet stable, and new Laws were not yet mastered; it was his weakest moment.

As for Luo Ximei, although her Heart Demon was gone and her Realm was stable at Great Perfection of Body Integration, she had just suffered severe injuries, and her body still had wounds.

Most crucially, the power of this Chaos Divine Lightning had already faintly exceeded the scope of the Body Integration Stage.

If they resisted directly, both would be severely injured, and might even perish together here.

"Eternal Life, this place of yours is indeed a good tomb," Su Lin said, suddenly speaking to himself as he looked at the withered bones.

His gaze swept across the entire stone chamber, over the lastThis text on the ground, and an incredibly bold plan instantly formed in his mind.

"Ximei, do you trust me?"

He didn't turn around, just asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Luo Ximei replied without hesitation.

"Good."

Su Lin tightened his grip on her hand, "Later, no matter what happens, do not resist.

Contain all your Devilish Qi, just like when we passed through the first Formation."

After speaking, he released Luo Ximei's hand, and also released the now much dimmer 'heart of the primordial demon'.

He took a step forward, standing alone in the center of the stone chamber, looking up at the world-destroying Divine Lightning that was about to descend.

Luo Ximei didn't understand why, but out of absolute trust in Revered Master, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart and, imitating Su Lin, began to restrain all her aura.

Above the sky, the crimson Divine Lightning had condensed to its extreme.

It was no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a crimson spear composed of Law, its tip locked onto Su Lin's Divine Soul, carrying a killing intent, and it crashed down!

Just as the crimson spear was about to pierce the false sky and descend into this world, Su Lin finally acted.

He didn't circulate his spiritual power for defense.

He simply extended his right hand and spoke to the withered bones sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Eternal Life, you drew a prison for yourself, trapping yourself for a lifetime.

Today, I shall borrow your cage to block a Heavenly Tribulation, which can be considered giving your obsession a fitting end."

A phantom formed, actually smiling slightly at Su Lin.

As his voice fell, the entire Myriad Tribulation Ruins, this world constructed by Eternal Life's obsession, trembled violently.

The first stage's illusory Realm, the second stage's bloody battlefield, the third stage's listening-to-rain pavilion, everything at this moment lost its color, transforming into the most primitive, extremely pure torrent ofPsychic power.

ThesePsychic power were the collection of all Eternal Life's emotions over tens of thousands of years.

There was his yearning for old friends, his regret for what he couldn't obtain,

His madness when he fell into the Demonic Path, and even his ultimate enlightenment and release at the end.

These complexPsychic power were now all drawn by Su Lin, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surging madly towards the center of the stone chamber.

They did not flow into Su Lin's body, but above his head, directly beneath the crimson spear, they formed an enormous shield, woven from countless light and shadow images.

On the shield, one could see Eternal Life's youthful determination in seeking the Dao, his pain of losing his beloved in his youth, his madness of slaughtering the world in middle age, and his solitude of sitting alone in the peach blossom spring in old age.

This was his life.

Boom!

The crimson Law spear solidly struck this shield made of obsession.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any energy dissipation.

The destructive power, capable of obliterating a Body Integration Stage mighty figure, upon touching the shield, immediately sank into a quagmire composed of emotions and memories.

On the Law spear, the Heavenly Dao's will to obliterate furiously impacted those images.

It tried to tear apart all those beautiful and painful memories.

But Eternal Life's obsession was too deep.

The cage he built with his life was unimaginably sturdy.

The crimson spear's advance became incredibly slow, and the destructive aura at its tip was rapidly being eroded and assimilated by the endless torrent of emotions.

Su Lin stood beneath the shield, his expression calm.

He didn't watch the confrontation, but instead immersed his entire mind within his own body.

The massive energy from the 'heart of the primordial demon' had already been completely devoured by him.

In his Dantian Qi Sea, the original Nascent Soul of the Soul Transformation Stage had now completely dissipated, replaced by a state of Chaos.

At the center of this Chaos, a golden glow was incubating.

That was his Primordial Spirit, transforming towards the Void Refining form.

This process required sufficient comprehension of spatial Laws.

And at this moment, the clash between the Chaos Divine Lightning and Eternal Life's obsession outside just provided him with the best opportunity to observe.

The confrontation between Heavenly Dao Laws and personal will made the structure of this spatial rift extremely unstable; countless tiny spatial cracks appeared and vanished, revealing the essence of the Void Realm to him without reservation.

Su Lin's Divine Sense extended, greedily absorbing these sights that would normally be impossible to witness.

His Primordial Spirit, enveloped by that golden glow, began to stretch and deform in a mysterious way.

It was no longer a fixed human form, but transformed into an invisible ripple, resonating with the surrounding space.

After an unknown period, outside, the light of the crimson spear was finally completely annihilated.

And Eternal Life's Shield of Obsession also completed its final mission, transforming into countless specks of light and vanishing without a trace.

The Heavenly Tribulation was blocked.

And within Su Lin's body, the Chaos finally subsided.

His Primordial Spirit had completely transformed.

Initial Stage of Void Refinement, achieved.
