291: Slaying the Soul

Inside the Sea of Consciousness.

Xiao Weiqing's consciousness completely descended upon his Divine Soul.

Everything felt so natural.

However.

For some reason, Xiao Weiqing's Divine Soul seemed unable to leave the lotus.

"Why is this?"

The Sea of Consciousness is the birthplace of the Divine Soul; logically, it should be like a fish in the sea, able to swim freely.

At this moment.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the golden lotus petals slightly moved, and a flash of blue light suddenly arrived from afar.

"What is that thing?"

Xiao Weiqing watched the blue light cluster that arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Lightning?"

Inside this blue light cluster, Xiao Weiqing could clearly perceive a bolt of lightning rapidly approaching through his Divine Soul.

"Snap~"

The golden lotus petals fluttered slightly, instantly halting the blue lightning.

Whoosh!

The blue lightning changed direction again, trying once more to squeeze into the lotus.

"This isn't Possession, is it?"

Just then.

Snap!

With a crisp sound, the golden lotus petal slapped the blue light cluster, and Xiao Weiqing surprisingly felt the lightning's sense of grievance.

He could determine that this was clearly the primal divine light. The blue light cluster felt like a small child who also wanted to enter the golden lotus.

But how could Xiao Weiqing let it succeed? Caution is the parent of safety.

Just in case.

Xiao Weiqing waved his hand.

"Flame Dragon!!"

A miniature golden Dragon appeared, and the blue light cluster immediately flew away in fright.

But inside the Sea of Consciousness, this was Xiao Weiqing's world; how could it escape?

"Suppress!"

The golden Dragon grabbed the blue light cluster with a claw, and the lightning immediately started trembling.

Inside the cave.

Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes. He was holding the primal divine light, which was now incredibly docile. With a flick of his hand, he put it away.

"Panel!"

Realm: Seventh Realm

Extraordinary Talent: Samadhi True Fire (Level 9)

Mental Energy: 78.8

Physique: Divine Foundation

Innate Skill: ...Divine Foundation, as the name suggests, is building a divine body. The body completely transforms—this transformation affects every strand of hair, every cell, and every molecule that makes up the divine body, entirely and completely.

Once the divine body is successfully built, one can enter the Eighth Realm. At that point, Rebirth from severed limbs will be child's play.

Furthermore, there is the Mental Energy.

With the success of this Spirit Transformation, his Mental Energy actually skyrocketed, approaching the Mental Energy level of the Eighth Realm.

Buzz~

With a movement of his Divine Soul, Mental Energy spread out, and the locations of all Yao Race members within a ten-kilometer radius were imprinted in his mind.

The newly born Divine Soul was already so powerful that the range of Mental Energy detection directly surged from one kilometer to ten kilometers.

Even if Xie Zhiyuan's Mental Energy reached the Peak of the Eighth Realm, he couldn't achieve this.

This shows the power of the Divine Soul.

"Hmm?"

Under the Mental Energy scan, two Centaur Yao were approaching this direction—two Great Demon Kings.

However, the two Great Demon Kings were completely unaware of his detection.

"Centaur Yao, perfect."

It truly was finding what one seeks without effort, after having searched everywhere... On the plain, two Centaur Great Demon Kings were flying through the air.

"Hurry!!!"

"The Yao Venerable has summoned us. If we are late, we'll surely get a dressing down."

One of the Great Demon Kings, whose face bore injuries, complained, "What is it this time? I just got back from the battlefield. Can't they let me rest for a few days?"

"The Yao Venerable discovered a Blue Star Human Race expert and is currently pursuing him."

"A Human Race expert? What is their strength?"

"Eighth Realm!"

"What! Eighth Realm? Are they sending us to be cannon fodder?"

"Don't worry, that Human Race expert is injured. The Yao Venerable said whoever captures him will be rewarded with three drops of Demigod Essence Blood."

"Really?"

"Nonsense, why else would I call you along?"

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Just as the two were about to accelerate again, a figure ascended from the ground, blocking their path, muttering to himself, "Is this what flying through the air feels like? Not bad!"

"A Human, a Blue Star person!"

"Are we that lucky?"

"Wait, this Human is too young. He's not the one the Yao Venerable mentioned," the other Great Demon King said.

"No matter what, capturing a Seventh Realm human is still a meritorious military achievement."

The Great Demon King with the scarred face said excitedly, on the battlefield, the Human Race excels at cooperation, so capturing a Seventh Realm expert alive is unrealistic; they can usually only be killed.

Since such an opportunity was delivered right to their doorstep, they shouldn't pass it up.

Whoosh~

This Great Demon King immediately lunged forward.

Facing the rapidly approaching Centaur Great Demon King, Xiao Weiqing paid him no mind, manifesting the thousand flame blade in his hand.

With a movement of his Divine Soul in the Sea of Consciousness, Mental Energy wrapped around the thousand flame blade.

He lightly waved it.

Whoosh~~

Surging Mental Energy poured out from the Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant.

This Great Demon King only felt an unparalleled blade appear in his mind.

A single slash descended, destroying heaven and earth.

The Great Demon King's figure paused.

Following that.

The Great Demon King simply plummeted from mid-air, his powerful aura rapidly weakening until it vanished.

"So this is Slaying the Divine Soul!"

Xiao Weiqing murmured.

In fact, Xiao Weiqing had already completed the first stage of Seamless Slash Cultivation long ago.

However, he had no clue how to Cultivate the second stage, and couldn't even understand the Cultivation Technique. He had tried using Seamless Slash with varying degrees of Mental Energy, but the results were disproportionate.

This led Xiao Weiqing to forget about the matter long ago, as he thought Seamless Slash was just clickbait—all show, no substance. The idea of Seamless Slash Slaying the Divine Soul was simply nonsense.

Now.

After Cultivating his Divine Soul, everything was so clear and obvious.

Xiao Weiqing silently apologized in his heart: "I wronged you, I was just too weak before."

"What!"

The other Centaur Great Demon King was horrified. "How is this possible!"

He knew that the Centaur Great Demon King who was killed had similar strength to him; otherwise, he wouldn't have partnered with him.

But.

A Great Demon King seasoned by battle was slain by this Human Race member in just one exchange.

Xiao Weiqing smiled crookedly, appearing like a demon in the Centaur's eyes.

"I ask, you answer."

"Senior, if I answer, can you spare my life?"

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. "That's interesting." He hadn't expected this Great Demon King to show zero resistance. "If I say I'll spare your life, will you believe me?"

"I believe you. The Human Race always keeps its promises. As long as you agree to spare my life, I will trust you. If you break your promise, then I can only blame my bad luck."

"You bet correctly. I always keep my promises. I swear by the gods that I will spare your life."

The Centaur Great Demon King breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Swearing by the gods meant his life was saved.

"Senior, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know. In the words of your Human Race, I will hold nothing back."

"You learned that idiom well."

Xiao Weiqing complimented him.

"I ask you, where is the entrance to the Blue Star world?"

The Centaur Great Demon King frowned, highly confused. Wasn't this Human Race expert from the Blue Star world?

Why is he asking me?

Although he was confused, the Centaur Great Demon King had to answer honestly to prove his worth.

"Senior, it's in the southeast, about 1,600 kilometers from here."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, thinking, "1,600 kilometers, that's not far."

"Another question: Where is the other Human Race expert you are pursuing? How many Yao Race members are chasing him? What are their strengths?"

The Centaur Great Demon King showed an 'I knew it' expression. This Human Race expert must have come to rescue the other Human Race expert.

"Senior, he is in a valley 60 kilometers to the south, surrounded by four Yao Venerables and over twenty Great Demon Kings."

"Four Yao Venerables?"

"Yes, two are Yao Venerables from my Centaur Race, one is a Sheep Race Yao Venerable, and one is a Fox Race Yao Venerable."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Got it. Thank you!"

"In that case, Senior, may I leave now?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Yes, I'll see you off."

"No need, Senior, I can..."

Under the Great Demon King's terrified gaze, Xiao Weiqing casually swung the thousand flame blade in his hand.

Before the Great Demon King's consciousness dissipated, he couldn't understand: hadn't he sworn by the gods?

Why did he go back on his word?
