290: Spirit Transformation

The phantom said, "Litian..."

"My name is Kolen!"

"Litian or Kolen, we are both of the Lion Clan..."

Kolen, the Demigod, roared, interrupting, "You are not worthy!"

"Ambushing me, killing Heng Tian, is this how the exalted gods of the Lion Clan act?"

"Gods? Hahaha..."

"Ridiculous!!"

The phantom fell silent, then said after a moment, "The Lion Clan doesn't need a second Star Lord right now."

"As for Heng Tian, he was misled by you, stubborn and unyielding; I cannot be blamed."

Kolen shook his head, slowly regaining his calm, and said softly, "Teacher once said that Cultivation requires cultivating both the body and the mind. You are beyond saving."

Upon hearing this, the phantom finally showed a hint of anger, "What kind of existence was your teacher? How could he understand the difficulty of our Cultivation? If we cannot become stronger beings, after ten thousand years, we will merely dissipate into the Universe, turning into dust."

Kolen shook his head, "This is the law of nature. Even the Universe will eventually Heading towards destruction. The Human Race and the Yao Race are no exceptions. Why force it?"

Blood Moon said coldly, "The natural law of the Universe's operation?"

"Do you know that there are supreme existences who created worlds with a single hand, transcending the Universe? They are exalted, immortal, and eternal. Even if the Universe is destroyed, they will still exist."

"So?" Kolen said casually.

"I, Blood Moon, also want to become such an existence."

Kolen chuckled, "Oh... I really didn't expect your ambition to be so high. However, if someone like you becomes an eternal existence, I think the Universe might as well be destroyed sooner."

"Hmph!" The phantom snorted coldly, "I will achieve it, but I need your help. Give me that item."

"Beg me."

The Blood Moon Star Lord fell silent.

Kolen smiled playfully, "There's a saying among the Human Race: 'A dying man's words are good.'"

"Beg me, and I'll give it to you."

"Really!"

"Of course... it's a lie!"

"Hahaha~~~" Kolen laughed loudly, "No way, the exalted Blood Moon God, you weren't really going to beg me just now, were you? I'm so flattered."

"Kolen!" Blood Moon was enraged.

A Divine Soul deterrent force surged from within the phantom.

Boom!!

With one strike, Kolen's already battered divine body cracked inch by inch. Through the cracks, his aging organs, which had ceased beating, could be seen.

"Cough, cough~~"

Kolen slumped on the throne and continued:

"Two hundred years ago, I told you that item wasn't a treasure; it was left to me by my teacher as a memento."

Blood Moon said, "That's because you don't know how to use it. Give it to me, and I can help you reshape your divine body."

"Should I thank you for that?"

Blood Moon regained his composure and said again, "I'm not joking. Just give me that item."

Kolen laughed again, "Blood Moon, do you know how pitiful you look right now? It makes me feel like it's you who's about to die, not me."

"Bang!"

Another strike.

Half of Kolen's body was shattered, and the throne beneath him also cracked.

"Kolen, my patience is limited."

"Blood Moon, you won't succeed."

"You're courting death!"

Buzz~~

A powerful force descended upon Kolen.

Kolen's divine body was destroyed, and even his faint Divine Soul was completely annihilated.

Rumble~~~

The entire hall collapsed... Lion Clan territory.

In a hall, Yutian, the Lion Clan Demigod, and Yantian, the Demigod, were listening to the report from the three demons, Ge Tian.

At this moment.

A Great Demon King walked in.

"Yutian Demigod, Wu Ling Mountain has collapsed," said the Great Demon King.

"Understood. You may leave."

Yutian Demigod and Yantian Demigod exchanged glances, both sighing deeply.

"Yutian Demigod, Kolen Demigod, he..."

Yutian Demigod said, "You don't need to worry about it. Focus on your Cultivation, especially Xun Tian. If there's any anomaly, inform us immediately."

"Understood," Xun Tian said. At this moment, an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart. He knew he would never see Kolen Demigod again... Wu Ling Mountain.

Who knows how much time had passed.

"Bang!"

A figure shot out from the ruins. It was Xiao Weiqing, covered in dust and grime. Without time to clean himself, he flashed a few times and disappeared into the jungle.

For an entire day.

Xiao Weiqing traveled eastward until he left the Lion Clan territory.

"This cave is good."

Xiao Weiqing crawled into a two-meter-high cave.

Xiao Weiqing tucked a feather he held into his embrace. This was given to him by Kolen, the Demigod, and it was this item that shielded him from the Blood Moon Star Lord.

It was likely the item the Blood Moon Star Lord was looking for. Regarding this item, Kolen, the Demigod, had clearly lied. It was indeed left to him by his teacher as a memento, but it was definitely more than just a memento.

The mere fact that it could shield against the Blood Moon Star Lord's Divine Soul detection meant it was no ordinary feather.

Originally, Xiao Weiqing had planned to stay in Wu Ling Mountain for another ten days to half a month, fearing that Yao Race members might be lying in wait outside.

However, that was not the case. Wu Ling Mountain was called a Forbidden Ground because Kolen, the Demigod, was there. Without Kolen, the Demigod, it was just an ordinary mountain, nothing special.

As for why he ran.

Because after Xiao Weiqing's Mental Energy rose to level 70, he felt something constantly trying to emerge from his mind.

This feeling could no longer be suppressed. He believed it was most likely Spirit Transformation, but he didn't dare risk any unusual phenomena that might accompany Spirit Transformation. In any case, he couldn't undergo Spirit Transformation in Wu Ling Mountain.

Therefore, out of necessity, Xiao Weiqing had to risk escaping. Fortunately, after Kolen, the Demigod, died, there were no Lion Clan members guarding the place.

Inside the cave.

Xiao Weiqing fully released his Mental Energy to scan the surroundings. There were no Yao Race members within a thousand meters.

"Very good, let's begin."

He focused his mind and calmed his Qi.

With a thought, Xiao Weiqing sank into the depths of his mind, constantly descending, yet never touching the bottom.

This state was very peculiar, as if he had fallen into endless darkness, but Xiao Weiqing did not panic, letting himself sink.

Finally, after an unknown period, Xiao Weiqing stopped.

Xiao Weiqing no longer suppressed his Mental Energy.

Whoosh~

Instead of dispersing, the Mental Energy continuously compressed inward, collapsing. Xiao Weiqing began to fall and sink again.

This time, it was unconscious, uncontrollable, and unstoppable.

Suddenly.

In a chaotic expanse.

In a Sea of Consciousness formed by Mental Energy, a golden light appeared.

"Buzz~~"

In an instant.

It was as if the Universe had just begun.

That speck of golden light emerged from the Chaos, then exploded, turning into a golden expanse, which then continuously evolved into a golden lotus.

After another unknown period.

The golden lotus slowly opened, revealing a tiny golden figure identical to Xiao Weiqing within.

It was Xiao Weiqing's Divine Soul.

Thus.

Spirit Transformation.

The Divine Soul was complete!
