88: Soul Blue Kingdom

Lin Yuan finally understood why the Grand Hall Master regarded him so highly—this wasn't just picking up a treasure; it was finding a true Dragon hatchling!

"Since that's the case..." A sharp light burst from his eyes. "I'll start with this Soul Ruins Secret Realm and let the Soul Spirits know what it means for 'One Source to Suppress Myriad Laws'!"

Blue Thirteen suddenly pointed into the distance, trembling. "L-Lord, the Soul Blue Kingdom is just ahead!"

Lin Yuan put away his Wisdom Sword and looked up. At the end of the horizon, a giant city made of blue crystals stood majestically. The city walls were thousands of feet high, with liquid Soul fire flowing across their surface. Even more shocking were the three purple suns floating above the city—those were three mountain-sized Rank Two Purple Soul Spirits releasing their pressure!

"The capital of the Soul Blue Kingdom, 'Blue Crystal City'." Blue Thirteen's body shook unnaturally. "Three Legion Commanders are stationed here year-round. They are all Rank Two Purple Soul Spirits, and their combat power is at least..."

"10,000 Yu?" Lin Yuan chuckled, his eyes full of disdain. To him, this level of combat power was nothing more than ants that could be crushed with a wave of his hand.

Under the blood-colored sky, Lin Yuan stood suspended in the air.

He had originally planned to sneak into the Soul Blue Kingdom discreetly and secretly hunt Soul Spirits to increase his combat power. But now, feeling the surging power of the Chaos Dharma Body within him, a cold smile played on his lips.

"Since I have enough strength, why bother hiding?"

With a thought, the disguise of the Soul Spirit Mask changed once more. Before Blue Thirteen's terrified gaze, the original Purple Soul Spirit form gradually transformed into a Rank Two Gold Soul Spirit, its entire body shimmering with gold!

"This... this is impossible!" Blue Thirteen's soul core trembled violently. In the Soul Clan, a Gold Soul Spirit was a symbol of royal Bloodline, and every one of them was a peerless Prodigy of their generation. Yet this human before him could perfectly disguise himself as a Gold Soul Spirit?

"Just how strong has this lord... reached?!"

It didn't dare to speculate and could only pray desperately. Swearing by the lives of all its enemies, Lin Yuan had to win! Otherwise, as a "traitor," it would definitely die a more miserable death than those crushed Soul Spirits!

Lin Yuan flew forward. "Soul Blue King—come out and fight!"

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, yet it boomed like heavenly thunder, instantly spreading throughout Blue Crystal City. Everywhere the sound waves passed, the Soul fire on the city walls flickered violently, and countless low-rank Soul Spirits crawled on the ground, trembling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three purple "suns" floating above the city suddenly erupted!

"Arrogant!"

"You're courting death!"

"Kill him!"

Three purple streaks of light tore through the sky, charging at Lin Yuan with overwhelming Soul pressure. They were the three Great Legion Commanders under the Soul Blue King, each a Rank Two Purple Soul Spirit with combat power exceeding 10,000 Yu!

However, Lin Yuan merely looked up indifferently.

"Noisy."

He didn't even draw his sword; he just clenched his right fist, and the power of the Chaos Dharma Body instantly bolstered his form.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three straight punches, simple and unadorned.

Wherever the punch force passed, space distorted. The three purple figures didn't even have time to scream before they exploded! The Soul fire scattered across the sky, leaving behind only translucent hexagonal crystals floating in the air, emitting dense Law fluctuations.

—Three Rank Two Soul Spirits killed instantly!

Blue Thirteen's breathing almost stopped.

"Is this... really the First Layer of the Myriad Laws Realm?!"

"How dare you!!"

A roar erupted from deep within the city, and the entire Blue Crystal City shook with it.

In the next moment, a golden figure stepped through the air, its body burning with intense Soul fire as its pressure swept across a thousand miles—it was the Soul Blue King!

It stared fixedly at Lin Yuan, eyes filled with overwhelming rage. One must know that it was a Rank Two Gold Soul Spirit; if it had been born into the Soul Clan, it would have ranked at least in the top ten of its generation. Moreover, since becoming the ruler of the Soul Spirits in this region and establishing the Soul Blue Kingdom, no other Soul Spirit had dared to disregard it so much. Now, it was being insulted like this by a mere "Soul Spirit"! The Soul Blue King glared at Lin Yuan. "Even other Gold Soul Spirits wouldn't dare to provoke this King like this!"

"A mere outsider Soul Spirit dares to slaughter my subordinates?!"

The Soul Blue King was filled with a mix of shock and anger. It tried to probe the opponent with its Soul sense, but its perception felt like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to grasp Lin Yuan's true depth. But as a king, how could it retreat?

"This King will surely cause your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering today!"

It suddenly raised its hand, and a deep blue soul weapon spear appeared in its palm, its tip shrouded in a bone-chilling aura. This was its trump card, the peak-grade soul weapon, the Glacial Spear, providing a combat power bonus of up to 2,000 Yu!

"All troops, hear my command—surround and kill this scoundrel!"

With an order, tens of thousands of green figures rushed out of the city, all of them elite Rank Two Soul Spirits. They formed a battle array, their Soul fires weaving into a net as they bore down on Lin Yuan!

"Die!"

The Soul Blue King thrust its spear with all its might, tearing a pitch-black crack in space.

Facing this terrifying strike, Lin Yuan merely raised his hand gently—

"Clang!"

The sound of clashing metal echoed through the heavens. To the astonishment of all the Soul Spirits, that invincible soul weapon spear was caught firmly between two of Lin Yuan's fingers!

"How is this possible?!" The Soul Blue King's pupils shrank.

Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly. "Is this all the strength you have?"

Before his voice faded, his fingers exerted force—

"Crack!"

That peak-grade soul weapon was actually crushed by hand.

Facing the overwhelming assault from the other Soul Spirits, Lin Yuan smiled.

"No matter how many ants there are, they cannot shake a mountain."

With a thought, the Chaos Dharma Body in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly manifested!

"Boom!"

A purple-gold dharma body only one meter tall appeared behind him. Though small, it seemed to carry the weight of the entire world! The moment the dharma body opened its eyes, a terrifying pressure bore down like the heavens collapsing!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The rushing Soul Spirits were struck as if by lightning, falling to their knees one after another. Some even had their Soul bodies shatter and died!

"This... this is a human dharma body?!!"

The Soul Blue King's heart shook violently. It finally realized that the "Gold Soul Spirit" before it was actually a human in disguise!

Moreover, he was a monster possessing a top-tier dharma body!

Under the pressure, the Soul Blue King trembled all over.

The soul weapon it took pride in was now like scrap metal; its elite subordinates were already dead or injured. And the man opposite it hadn't even truly made a move... "Soul Blue King."

Lin Yuan spoke slowly, his voice eerily calm.

"Now, we can talk about a deal."

The Soul Blue King opened its mouth, but its rage was forced back down. The situation was stronger than the individual!

It squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying and said submissively:

"Lord... what... what do you want?"

Blue Thirteen watched from afar, its soul core trembling. It never expected that a human it encountered by chance would be strong to such an extent!

The invincible Soul Blue King... was actually bowing its head and begging for mercy?!

Lin Yuan merely smiled slightly, his gaze turning toward the depths of the city.

"What I want is your—entire Soul Kingdom!"
