Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Soul Ring Evolution
The others who were struck by the iron chains and had not died yet, including Xi Mo and the Hai Family Patriarch, also burst from the ruins and fled in panic, like dogs that had lost their homes.
Upon realizing that this Demon Ape was the one from Demon Ape Ridge, they were utterly terrified.
The Hai Family Patriarch, in particular, disregarded his already shattered armor and ran away naked and crazed.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
They had seen Divine Spirit Powerhouses, but today was the first time they had seen a Divine Spirit Powerhouse fleeing naked.
Seeing that Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others were trying to escape, the Heartfelt Demon Ape roared again, swinging the tens of thousands of feet long iron chains in its hands.
The two massive iron chains shot out like meteors.
Xi Yuandong, hearing the whistling sound behind her, turned her head and saw the iron chains soaring toward her like shooting stars, her face turning pale with fright.
“Light of Life!” Xi Yuandong bellowed, green glows emerging from her body one after another, forming layers of life defense shields.
At the same time, she swung her Elf Sword again.
This time, she even unleashed the Elf Clan’s forbidden techniques, her body exuding an aura as red as blood, with her Elf Sword shining like a green sun, ejecting a formidable Sword Qi.
Waves of Sword Qi furiously bombarded the incoming iron chains.
But it was to no avail, as the iron chains smashed through the Sword Qi with unstoppable force, striking the life defense shields.
Spurt!
Xi Yuandong was once again sent flying.
She crashed out of Sky Demon City.
And broke through the mountains beyond Sky Demon City.
Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and dozens of others were also struck by the iron chains and sent flying again.
The Saint Realm ancestors were directly blown to pieces, turning into a mist of blood.
Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the five heads of the Hai Family vomited blood and fled once more.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape frowned, about to give chase when Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “Forget it, there’s no need to chase.”
If Xi Yuandong and the others scattered and fled, it would be difficult for the Heartfelt Demon Ape to pursue. Moreover, the Heartfelt Demon Ape had been injured by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God and had not yet recovered.
Yang Xiaotian looked towards a distant corner, where he saw the Elf Great Prince, Xi Luo, trembling, looking at Yang Xiaotian with absolute terror.
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor reached out with one hand and pulled Xi Luo in front of Yang Xiaotian.
Xi Luo, looking at Yang Xiaotian and the Heartfelt Demon Ape before him, collapsed in fear, crying out, “Don’t kill me!”
In Yang Xiaotian’s hand, the Burying Heaven Sword appeared, “You should have said that to your grandmother.” Finishing his sentence, he swung the Burying Heaven Sword, which sliced directly across Xi Luo’s neck.
Xi Luo’s head rolled off.
His eyes were wide open as he died.
He probably couldn’t believe to his very last breath that this trip to Sky Demon City would be his journey to death.
Before he came, he had fantasied about defeating Tian Wanqing and obtaining the Innate Divine Iron from the Sky Demon Clan, and then restoring the Elf Clan’s Life Sword.
But now, Sky Demon City had become his burial ground.
Watching the Elf Prince Xi Luo’s head being chopped off by Yang Xiaotian, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Xi Luo, acclaimed as the most talented Martial Dao disciple of the Elf Clan in ten thousand years, even a peerless artifact refining genius who had discerned the secret technique of refining without a cauldron furnace, now lay dead before them.
Tian Renye and He Fang of the Sky Demon Clan and Three-Eyed River Clan were terrified out of their wits. They curled up in some secret corner, not daring to utter a sound, not even daring to let out a fart, forcibly holding it in.
Yang Xiaotian withdrew his gaze from the heads of the Xi Luo people and looked towards Tian Hongji, the General of the Sky Demon Clan Leader, “I would like to ask General Tian to take me to the Sky Demon Clan’s Treasure Vault to select the Innate Divine Iron.”
Originally, when Yang Xiaotian had just defeated Tian Wanqing, Tian Hongji had wanted to make an excuse that the Innate Divine Iron was not in the Sky Demon Clan’s Treasure Vault, but now he didn’t dare to say a word against it and hastily said, “Young Master, please follow me.”
Then, with utmost respect, he led Yang Xiaotian and a few others to the Sky Demon Clan’s Treasure Vault, opened the doors of the vault, and let Yang Xiaotian inside to make his selection.
Following Yang Xiaotian into the Sky Demon Clan’s Treasure Vault, Tian Hongji was nervously on edge. However, seeing that Yang Xiaotian only selected that piece of Innate Divine Iron before coming out, Tian Hongji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That piece of Innate Divine Iron was roughly the same size as the one from the Dwarf Clan.
Having obtained the Innate Divine Iron, Yang Xiaotian did not linger and planned to leave Sky Demon City immediately.
Upon his departure, Tian Hongji duly presented Yang Xiaotian with the rest of the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones and one hundred extreme-quality Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills as promised.
Yang Xiaotian then gave all of the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones to the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, declaring that they would be used for buying drinks in the future.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian toss the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones to his subordinate, saying they were to be used for buying drinks in the future, left Tian Hongji dumbfounded for a long time.
Under the reverent escort of Tian Hongji and numerous masters of the Sky Demon Clan, Yang Xiaotian and his companions left Sky Demon City.
The battle at Sky Demon City spread quickly.
Nearly all of the thousands of Elf Clan experts were killed or injured, with even the Elf Great Prince Xi Luo beheaded, leaving only Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, among the five Divine Spirits, to escape.
The various clans of the Hundred Clan Empire were shocked.
Night fell.
In a desolate mountain, Yang Xiaotian took out the Sword of Azure God and controlled the two great Divine Flames to melt the Innate Divine Iron he had obtained that day into the Sword of Azure God.
The cracks in the body of the Sword of Azure God were once again repaired.
Looking at the last crack on the body of the Sword of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze toward the direction of the Eternal Burial Ground. Now, only the piece of Innate Divine Iron from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was needed to completely repair the Sword of Azure God.
He only needed to wait for the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged for cultivation, with his two Supreme King Martial Souls floating in the sky above, as the radiance from the Abyssal Master’s Soul Ring and the Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring surged, engulfing Heaven and Earth with the aura of ancient gods.
Under the enveloping aura of the two ancient Soul Beasts, the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the others were extremely unnerved.
He cultivated through the night.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian asked the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the others, including the Iceflame Qilin, if there was any way to evolve and breakthrough the Soul Rings.
After all, his Abyssal Master Soul Ring was close to two million years, and if it evolved to two million years, its power would be absolutely stronger.
He remembered that initially, Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring had evolved from ninety-nine thousand years to one hundred thousand years.
“It’s extremely difficult to evolve and breakthrough a Soul Ring!” said the Heartfelt Demon Ape, shaking its head. “In a sense, the Soul Ring is part of the cultivator’s body.”
“When cultivators practice and breakthrough realms, their bodies become stronger; flesh, internal organs, and even souls are enhanced.”
“The Soul Ring will also be enhanced.”
“However, it’s merely an enhancement. To actually make a Soul Ring evolve and breakthrough, the chance is extremely slim, almost negligible.”
Yang Xiaotian said, “I had an opponent before, whose Soul Ring evolved from ninety-nine thousand years to one hundred thousand years.”
The Heartfelt Demon Ape nodded, “In ancient times, there was indeed a secret technique that could allow a Soul Ring to evolve, but it’s extremely dangerous, akin to a life-and-death situation. It requires external force to shatter the Soul Ring, and then to repair it again.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian immediately gave up on the idea. Both of his Soul Rings were one-million-year Soul Rings, and even if he wanted to use external force to shatter them, there was no one capable of breaking his two great Soul Rings.
“However, generally speaking, when breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm, there is a hope for the Soul Ring to evolve and breakthrough,” added the Heartfelt Demon Ape.
