140: Purple Star Flame, Soul Fusion!

"To force me into such a state, Blood Sea! You have every right to be proud!" Xiao Yan, trapped in the crimson orb, saw the blood sphere, which was about to be broken open, solidify once more. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "But next! You can die for me!"

Before his words faded, the black flames on his body suddenly surged more than tenfold, a peculiar purple glow emanating from their core.

A pressure nearing the Peak Soul Transformation Realm exploded, distorting the surrounding air into ripples.

Feeling Xiao Yan's outburst, Blood Sea's expression turned solemn. He quickly formed hand seals, his fingers a blur, and a sweet, metallic taste rose in his throat.

Even though this body had Cultivated the Blood Condensation Demonic Technique to the Late-stage Demon Infant (Cultivation Stage), it was still too far behind the current Xiao Yan. The Divine Blood Divine Ability runes within his body flickered erratically, their operation even beginning to stagnate under the opponent's pressure.

The flames in Xiao Yan's palm had completely shed their inky blackness, transforming into an enchanting purple. Star-like specks of light flickered within the flame tendrils, making the crimson orb appear like glazed glass.

"Purple Extreme Star Flame: An Innate exotic flame that can draw upon the power of the stars to augment its might, possessing an indestructible quality."

Blood Sea gazed at the purple flame, and the System immediately provided its identification.

The crimson cage exploded with a roar.

A sky full of blood rain, carrying a pungent, fishy smell smell, surged back, condensing into dull blood beads suspended in Blood Sea's palm.

Before the purple flame afterimage dissipated, Xiao Yan had already appeared before him.

A purple flame long saber, imbued with starlight, slashed down. Without hesitation, Blood Sea gripped his Source Blood, and the Blood Sea Demonic Saber instantly materialized, parrying the strike.

"Pfft!"

Upon impact, the Demonic Saber immediately broke into two.

The residual Saber Qi, its momentum undiminished, tore open a scorched black gap on his chest. The smell of burning flesh from the purple flames assailed his nostrils.

Xiao Yan spun and delivered a flying kick directly to Blood Sea's abdomen.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion of Qi sent Blood Sea's figure rocketing out like a cannonball. He obliquely pierced through a small mountain below, creating a deep pit in the ground, and was buried by crumbling rocks.

As Xiao Yan once again lunged from the air, a figure wreathed in golden lightning abruptly blocked his path.

He disregarded his shock, and the purple flames on his saber, trailing a three-zhang light tail, fiercely chopped down.

A giant golden palm materialized out of thin air. The moment its five fingers closed, Xiao Yan's bones let out a muffled crackling sound like frying beans.

The purple flames scorched the golden palm, causing smoke to rise, but they couldn't budge it in the slightest.

"This Venerable One, I can handle it!" Blood Sea burst out of the deep pit, shaking off a large amount of mountain rock. He secretly transmitted a message, and the flesh on his chest, tainted by the purple flames, was also gouged out, the wound wriggling as it healed.

However, his expression was somewhat grim at the moment. Even though he and Xiao Zhuo were the same Soul in different bodies, he still felt a bit embarrassed.

"I know, but there's no need!" Xiao Zhuo smiled knowingly, replying faintly in his mind.

The powerful Soul Power at the fourth-rank soul infant level, condensed into the golden great hand by the Soul Slaughtering Sacred Method, possessed a might comparable to even a Body Integration Realm Cultivator. Even though Xiao Yan was currently equivalent to a Peak Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator, he was still nothing in Xiao Zhuo's hands.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yan looked at the suddenly appearing Xiao Zhuo, his eyes filled with anger, and a hint of fear hidden deep within.

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer. He merely glanced back at Blood Sea, who impassively waved his hand, and Xiao Zhuo understood.

The golden great hand suddenly increased its force, a series of bone-crushing sounds rang out, Xiao Yan's eyes bulged, and a dark jade-colored Soul light shot out from his crown.

"Trying to escape?" Xiao Zhuo scoffed. With a thought of his Divine Thought, the Taishi Space barrier already covered a hundred-zhang radius.

The dark jade-colored soul infant, caught off guard, crashed against the barrier with a crisp "bang" and fell downwards.

Xiao Zhuo's mind stirred, and his powerful Soul Power transformed into a golden sharp blade, instantly piercing through the defensive runes that appeared on the soul infant's surface.

If Xiao Yan could have resisted Blood Sea's third-rank soul infant power a few times, his Divine Soul defense was little stronger than a thin piece of paper against Xiao Zhuo's fourth-rank Soul Power.

Almost in an instant, all of Xiao Yan's Divine Soul defenses completely shattered, and the three-inch figure, impaled by the golden sharp blade, flew back before Xiao Zhuo and Blood Sea.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yan's soul infant's eyes were filled with terror as he watched Xiao Zhuo's hand grow larger and larger.

Finally, Xiao Zhuo's large hand directly grabbed the dark jade-colored soul infant, and powerful Divine Sense instantly penetrated it.

A large amount of memories were perused by Xiao Zhuo.

A moment later, Xiao Zhuo squeezed his large hand, and the already unconscious soul infant immediately burst apart. A fingernail-sized purple star-fire appeared from where the soul infant shattered.

"The seed of the Purple Extreme Star Flame, huh?" Xiao Zhuo's eyes flashed. He formed a hand seal, and a surge of Divine Soul power instantly enveloped the fire seed, drawing it into his Sea of Consciousness.

Refining the fire seed was not an overnight task, but Xiao Zhuo had a clear idea. After all, from Xiao Yan's memories, he already knew the method for refining the Purple Extreme Star Flame.

Turning around, he met Blood Sea's gaze. The latter transformed into a crimson light and merged into Xiao Zhuo's body, their memories converging like rivers flowing into the sea.

In an instant, the Fusion was complete.

With a wave of his hand, he collected Xiao Yan's Storage Pouch and the nine-foot long saber. Xiao Zhuo didn't even let go of Xiao Yan's extremely refined blood Qi, summoning his Source Blood to instantly drain him into a dried corpse.

Making the best use of everything—this was a good habit Xiao Zhuo had developed in the Yuan Realm.

Having completed everything, Xiao Zhuo took a step and appeared in the sky, then swept up a crimson rainbow and headed towards the Blood Abyss Market.

During his flight, Xiao Zhuo had already activated the Thousand Illusions Demonic Art, transforming himself into Blood Sea's appearance.

In the Blood Demon Realm, acting under Blood Sea's identity was undoubtedly the most secure approach.

Two hours later, the sky was overcast, and fine raindrops fell from above. The familiar outline of the Blood Abyss Market was already visible at the edge of his vision.

Presenting his Blood Palace identity jade tablet, Xiao Zhuo walked directly towards Blood Sea's exclusive courtyard in the market, under the respectful gaze of the Cultivator guards at the market entrance.

However, what Xiao Zhuo didn't notice was that the moment he entered the market, a figure, somewhat flustered, left the entrance.

Opening the courtyard Restriction with practiced ease, Xiao Zhuo quickly entered the underground secret chamber from the master bedroom.

A Taishi Space barrier was casually set up by him.

Xiao Zhuo swiftly sat cross-legged in meditation.

He began to add Attribute Points to enhance Blood Sea's soul infant Realm.

At this moment, his three main soul infants, the main body and the second Split Soul, had already reached the fourth-rank level. Only the first Split Soul was still at the third-rank.

Xiao Zhuo planned to perform the Soul Fusing Sacred Method after upgrading the first Split Soul's soul infant.

At this moment, the Attribute Points on Xiao Zhuo's panel had also been converted into the common Attribute Points of the Middle Thousand Worlds, directly changing from over three hundred million to over thirty-four thousand points.

Adding the Attribute Points gained from killing Xiao Yan and the Attribute Points on Blood Sea's panel, he now had forty-six thousand Attribute Points.

Even if Cultivating the Heaven-Grade Sacred Soul Scripture cost two hundred points at a time, Xiao Zhuo could afford it.

As the Attribute Points began to be allocated, Xiao Zhuo's figure reappeared in the White Mist Space. His three great soul infants flew out of his body, and a large amount of milky white Soul liquid was condensed by the Cultivation space.

It surged towards the first Split Soul's soul infant.

At the same time, the Sacred Soul Scripture circulated. Having had the first experience, even without the assistance of profound power, Xiao Zhuo was confident in allowing the first Split Soul to Cultivate the Sacred Soul Scripture, but there was no reason not to use the panel.

Naturally, adding points was faster, and as for Attribute Points, if they ran out, he would just earn more.

As the Attribute Points rapidly depleted, the crimson soul infant's body was already covered in golden flame Divine Runes.

By the time the Attribute Points were depleted to only twenty-nine thousand, all the Meridians within the first Split Soul's soul infant were also covered in golden flame Divine Runes, breaking through to the fourth-rank.

Almost simultaneously, the three soul infants opened their eyes, and their small hands began to change seals. Golden flame Divine Runes slowly emerged on their bodies, forming golden chains that linked the three together.

Streams of divine light began to continuously circulate, and runes were continuously extracted from the two Split Souls, merging into the main body.
