158: Soul Thorn Power

Great World.

Ghost Clan territory.

In a special domain, a massive palace floated in the sky at the very center of the entire domain.

A Ghost Clan woman entered the grand hall after being announced.

Upon entering the hall, the woman did not dare to look up, kneeling and saying, "Your Highness, there is news of Gu Cangfeng."

At the top of the grand hall, only one woman sat cross-legged on a huge armchair.

With snow-white long hair, a delicate nose, and snow-white skin, what was most crucial was that she was not translucent like other members of the Ghost Clan; her appearance was exactly like a human's, stunningly beautiful, and she looked to be only around twenty years old.

Hearing the report from the Ghost Clan woman below, the beautiful young woman above opened her eyes.

"Where?"

Her voice was clear and very pleasant.

"The Beast Domain in the southern part of the Chaotic Realm."

The kneeling woman stated the location, then recounted how the intelligence was obtained.

The Ghost Clan Princess above did not care about the source of the news; as a superior, she only needed the result.

Gui Ling, who was the Ghost Clan Princess.

Her father was the Ghost Clan King, and her mother was human.

The Ghost Clan operated under a monarchy, much like a vast empire.

She was born looking human, and was very cute.

Both her father and mother doted on her as a precious treasure, granting her every wish.

A few months ago, while out playing, that lecher Gu Cangfeng took her underwear, and she chased him for over half of the Great World, but he still managed to escape.

Now that she knew Gu Cangfeng's whereabouts, she had to go, there was no reason not to.

After only a moment of contemplation, Gui Ling had already disappeared from the grand hall.

No sooner had Lin Bai's arrogant words fallen than Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Pierce had already stabbed into Lin Bai's Sea of Consciousness.

The Soul Pierce, condensed from 800,000 units of spiritual power, was pitch black and emitted a faint cold light; of course, this was merely Xun Xiuyuan's perception, for outsiders, the Soul Pierce remained invisible and formless.

Its power was incomparable to the Soul Pierce condensed from 600,000 units of spiritual power from before.

The moment the Soul Pierce entered Lin Bai's Sea of Consciousness, the surrounding vines immediately coiled around it, attempting to strangle it.

However, like snow meeting sunlight, the vines shattered the instant they touched the Soul Pierce.

The Soul Pierce successfully penetrated the vines' defense, and the remaining portion directly plunged into Lin Bai's Sea of Consciousness, darting wildly before dissipating.

Though it took a long time to describe, in reality, from the moment the Soul Pierce entered the Sea of Consciousness until it dissipated, it was but an instant.

Gu Cangfeng, who was opposite, didn't even have time to respond after hearing Lin Bai's arrogant and vicious words, when he suddenly heard Lin Bai let out a scream.

Then Lin Bai roared in anger, "Xun Xiuyuan! You deserve to die!"

Seeing that his probing Soul Pierce was so powerful, Xun Xiuyuan was instantly overjoyed and teleported to Gu Cangfeng's side.

Lin Bai's image at this moment no longer resembled his former refined state; he looked like a man filled with impotent rage, having been cuckolded.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xun Xiuyuan.

"How is this possible? How much spiritual power do you actually have?"

Lin Bai asked after calming down.

"Hehe! Not much, about three million!" Xun Xiuyuan replied casually.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Three million, you really dare to say it; three million could probably instantly kill all living beings in the entire Beast Domain with just a single thought.

Gu Cangfeng also looked at Xun Xiuyuan with immense shock: "Brother Gu, it's only been a few months, and you've already advanced from Transcendent to Quasi-God. This speed is truly astonishing."

"Big Brother Gu, I truly have to thank you for your help this time, otherwise the Abyss probably wouldn't have held up."

Xun Xiuyuan's gratitude was very sincere; if it weren't for Gu Cangfeng's appearance blocking Lin Bai.

Xun Xiuyuan would not have had time to arrange for the human race's evacuation from the Abyss; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Gu Cangfeng smiled and said, "The Cage Domain and the Divine Martial Sect are allies, true allies. You'll understand in the future, there's nothing to be grateful for."

Actually, Gu Cangfeng was referring to the Initial Domain, but he feared Xun Xiuyuan wouldn't understand, so he directly said the Cage Domain instead.

While Xun Xiuyuan and Gu Cangfeng were conversing, Lin Bai and Protector Liu had already been communicating via telepathy for a long time, and Protector Liu's gaze towards Xun Xiuyuan was also filled with surprise and uncertainty.

His own spiritual power had not broken through the True God limit, still at 500,000, comparable to Lin Bai's.

The daily accumulation of spiritual power is simple, but breaking through the limit of spiritual power is truly difficult. If Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Secret Skill could harm Lin Bai, then it could certainly harm him too.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan and Gu Cangfeng were chatting, Lin Bai suddenly launched an attack, and an ancient forest enveloped Xun Xiuyuan.

Gu Cangfeng immediately stepped forward to block it.

Xun Xiuyuan also drew his mourning sun blade and slashed out, intending to block Lin Bai's attack.

At this moment, Lin Bai was powerless to control that forest because Gu Cangfeng was already attacking Lin Bai.

So, Xun Xiuyuan's saber strike successfully cleaved through the forest.

The instant the forest was split, Protector Liu's saber had already reached Xun Xiuyuan's front.

It turned out that Lin Bai's attack was merely a cover; the true killing blow was Protector Liu's full-strength saber strike.

With no way to evade, Xun Xiuyuan raised his mourning sun blade to block above his head.

Protector Liu sneered, changed his saber path, and instead of chopping, swept his saber across Xun Xiuyuan's chest and abdomen.

He had expected this saber strike to surely cleave Xun Xiuyuan in two, but the result was completely different; it did hit, but the outcome of being cut in two did not occur.

Xun Xiuyuan was struck by the saber, his clothes on his chest ripped open in large sections, revealing the sky support armor beneath.

The immense force sent Xun Xiuyuan flying like a cannonball, blood gushing from his mouth.

Although he wasn't cut in two, Xun Xiuyuan was already severely injured.

Protector Liu immediately stepped forward, preparing to deliver another saber strike.

However, to kill Xun Xiuyuan, one must succeed with a single blow, otherwise the recovery of the hanging dog will make you doubt life.

Just like Protector Liu at this moment, as he prepared to deliver a finishing blow to the dying Xun Xiuyuan, Xun Xiuyuan suddenly stood up as if fully healed.

Covered in blood, Xun Xiuyuan stood up and looked at Protector Liu, saying, "It's my turn."

The moment he finished speaking, Meng Qian Nian had already descended. Protector Liu was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained consciousness under the protection of his soul defense secret treasure.

Before he could react further, three Soul Pierces had already entered his mind.

Xun Xiuyuan's spiritual power required a recovery after condensing three Soul Pierces each time. The moment he recovered again, he paid no attention to the outcome of those three Soul Pierces.

He condensed three more Soul Pierces and thrust them into Protector Liu's Sea of Consciousness.

Although Protector Liu possessed a soul defense secret treasure, which greatly weakened the power of Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Pierces, it could not completely nullify them.

A small portion of each Soul Pierce entered his Sea of Consciousness, causing Protector Liu's Sea of Consciousness to shake violently, rendering him unable to control his body. He directly fell from the air, crashing into the swamp below—no, the sandy ground below.

Xun Xiuyuan was very surprised to see Protector Liu fall to the ground so easily.

Holding his mourning sun blade, he dared not advance, unsure if it was Protector Liu's trap.
