341: The soul infant dissipates and the spirit merges into the body

The Chaos Calamity Cloud churned like boiling water, and within the ink-black clouds, billions of streaks of purple-gold electric snakes wildly weaved, the aura of destruction solidifying, pressing down on the entire Star Sea, causing it to groan under the unbearable weight.

This was precisely the ultimate tribulation that only the most top-tier Prodigies of the Great Luo Realm could trigger—the Ninefold Chaos God-Slaying Tribulation!

Each layer contained nine Chaos Divine Thunders powerful enough to slay an ordinary Daluo, and with nine layers superimposed, their might was enough to make even a Quasi-Saint change color.

However, Xiao Zhuo, standing at the bow of the dark gold tower ship, had only indifference on his face, even tinged with a hint of… boredom.

“The momentum is quite significant,” he snorted lightly, not even adopting any defensive stance.

The first layer of Lightning Tribulation descended!

Nine purple-gold Divine Thunders, as thick as mountains and wreathed in Chaos Qi, tore through the Void Realm, carrying the will to judge all spirits, and crashed down with a roar!

Their target was the tiny figure at the bow of the dark gold tower ship.

Xiao Zhuo didn’t even bother to raise his hand.

With a slight thought, the Great Dao of Space silently flowed.

“Om—”

The space within a ten-thousand-mile radius instantly solidified like a divine gold barrier!

The nine streaks of Lightning Tribulation, powerful enough to shatter stars, were like hitting an invisible amber when they were still a thousand zhang above Xiao Zhuo’s head; their speed abruptly decreased ten thousandfold, and the violent thunder light was rigidly confined and twisted, eventually silently annihilating into specks of energy light under the immense power of extreme spatial compression.

The second layer of Lightning Tribulation! Its power doubled, and the thunder light transformed into roaring Chaos Thunder Dragons!

Xiao Zhuo flicked a finger, and ripples of the Great Dao of Time spread out.

“Accelerate.”

The speed of the Thunder Dragons’ assault suddenly increased a hundredfold!

However, this was not a help, but a disaster.

The excessive speed caused the Thunder Dragons’ own energy structure to instantly lose balance in the twisted space-time; before they even approached Xiao Zhuo, they disintegrated and self-detonated in mid-air like uncontrolled stars, the dazzling thunder light fireworks illuminating the Chaos.

The third, fourth, fifth layers… the Great Dao of the Soul displayed its might, and invisible Soul Power impacts swept across, directly erasing the destructive will contained within the Lightning Tribulation; the violent energy lost its sentience, transforming into a pure energy flow, which was then drawn and absorbed by the Dao Principle of Freedom naturally circulating on Xiao Zhuo’s body surface.

As the Great Dao of Thunder operated, Xiao Zhuo’s body was wreathed in thunder light, like an emperor of thunder.

The descending Chaos Divine Thunders were actually forcibly assimilated and devoured by his own Thunder Dao Principle, becoming a part of his strength!

Spatial cutting, temporal deceleration, acceleration, and even small-scale reversal… four Great Daos of a higher order were wielded by him as easily as his own limbs, while the Dao Principle of Freedom acted as the perfect adhesive and amplifier, allowing him to effortlessly manipulate the power of myriad Daos and combine them at will.

The first six layers of the Ninefold God-Slaying Tribulation, a total of fifty-four world-destroying Chaos Divine Thunders, failed to even make his clothes flutter, vanishing like mud oxen entering the sea.

The entire process was as easy and leisurely as brushing away dust.

The Calamity Cloud seemed utterly enraged, letting out an extremely deep roar; the entire Chaos Thunder Cloud began to collapse inwards, its color shifting from purple-gold to a profound dark black, and the aura of destruction increased a hundredfold!

The seventh layer of Lightning Tribulation was brewing, its power subtly surpassing the Great Luo Realm!

Xiao Zhuo looked up at the core of the Calamity Cloud, which was churning slower and slower, and condensing thicker and heavier, and slightly frowned.

“Too slow.”

He was tired of passively waiting.

Wasting time was wasting Attribute Points! It was hindering his pursuit of a higher Realm!

“Boom!”

Xiao Zhuo’s figure suddenly vanished!

The next moment, he had already become a streaking light tearing through the Chaos, boldly crashing into the terrifying Calamity Cloud core that could grind even a Quasi-Saint to dust!

Inside the Calamity Cloud was a purgatory of thunder.

Viscous, liquid-like Chaos thunder plasma roared and surged, countless thunder spirits materialized and shrieked within it, and destructive energy capable of instantly vaporizing top-tier Immortal Artifacts was ubiquitous.

However, the myriad divine lights formed by the Dao Principle of Freedom on Xiao Zhuo’s body circulated endlessly, and the four Great Daos of a higher order intertwined to form an absolute Domain, forcibly repelling, crushing, and absorbing all incoming destructive power!

He moved as if entering an uninhabited land, his goal clear—straight for the very core of the Calamity Cloud, that constantly pulsing, dark-heart-like giant calamity eye!

The twenty-seven Chaos Divine Thunders of the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers, under the frantic urging of the calamity eye, transformed into twenty-seven ferocious world-destroying black Dragons, roaring as they pounced from all directions at this madman who dared to trespass into the core!

“Noisy!”

Xiao Zhuo’s eyes sharpened, and he made a grasping motion with his right hand; a long saber, entirely dark gold with blood-colored patterns flowing on its blade, suddenly appeared in his palm—the jade blood saber!

On the blade, Chaos thunder light was subtly leaping and resonating at this moment!

There were no fancy Moves, only the most extreme condensation of power and Dao Principle.

“Primal Beginning—Heaven-Splitting!”

Xiao Zhuo let out a low roar, and the jade blood saber suddenly slashed out!

A saber light, indescribable in its color, as if containing the first ray of light at the dawn of the Universe, suddenly ignited!

Where the saber light passed, Chaos split in two!

The power of Time, Space, Soul, and Thunder… the four Great Daos perfectly fused under the dominion of the Dao Principle of Freedom, transforming into this heaven-splitting, earth-shattering edge!

“Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff…”

The twenty-seven world-destroying Thunder Dragons were like paper in front of this saber light, instantly pierced, torn, and evaporated!

The saber light’s momentum remained undiminished, carrying the supreme will to sever Karma and shatter Reincarnation, and precisely slashed onto the frantically beating dark calamity eye!

“Screech—!!!”

A harsh tearing sound, as if the world was breaking apart, resounded throughout the Star Sea!

The calamity eye, which had condensed all the Origin of the Ninefold Chaos God-Slaying Tribulation, was incomparably solid, and capable of withstanding a Quasi-Saint’s attack, was cleanly split in two like butter cut by a hot knife under the jade blood saber’s edge and Xiao Zhuo’s heaven-splitting strike, which fused the four Daos!

The calamity eye shattered!

The entire Chaos Calamity Cloud, which enveloped the stars and covered hundreds of millions of miles of Void Realm, was like a body stripped of its backbone; it suddenly paused, then let out an earth-shattering wail, and began to violently collapse and disintegrate!

Just as the Calamity Cloud collapsed, Xiao Zhuo’s Devouring Divine Body fully activated with a roar! The Devouring Great Dao transformed into a terrifying vortex covering the sky!

“Devour!”

Massive amounts of extremely pure Chaos Lightning Tribulation Origin energy, like a flood finding an outlet, frantically surged into Xiao Zhuo’s body!

This energy torrent, capable of destroying stars, now became an supreme treasure medicine for refining his Divine Soul!

“Boom! Boom! Boom—!”

The vast and boundless Chaos thunder energy was frantically refined by the Devouring Divine Body, transforming into the purest Soul Origin power, continuously pouring into the soul infant, which had already broken through to the Peak of the twelfth stage, sitting deep within his zizai world in his glabella!

The soul infant’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

Chaos thunder light flickered and died in its eyes!

The Soul body, originally condensed to the extreme and emitting a lustrous treasure light, suddenly expanded and contracted under the impact of this unprecedented terrifying energy, letting out an unbearable hum, and intricate, unfathomable Chaos Dao patterns began to emerge on its surface!

“Break!”

Xiao Zhuo let out a Dao roar, like a heaven-splitting divine sound, resounding throughout his Sea of Consciousness!

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of shattering, originating from the Soul Origin, rang out!

Immediately followed by an endless burst of Chaos divine light from within the soul infant!

The ultimate barrier of the twelfth stage, under the impact of this vast energy accumulated from the entire Origin of the Ninefold Chaos God-Slaying Tribulation and perfectly transformed by the Devouring Divine Body, shattered with a roar!

The soul infant’s form reshaped and sublimated in the Chaos divine light!

A vaster, deeper, and seemingly capable of controlling all Souls in the heavens, supreme pressure permeated the air!

But, the soul infant’s form, dissipated… At this moment, the Calamity Cloud completely dispersed, and the Star Sea returned to peace.

Only the dark gold tower ship remained suspended, and on its bow, Xiao Zhuo’s figure stood silently, his aura restrained to the extreme, like a Mortal.

But deep within his slightly opened eyes, there seemed to be endless star rivers forming and perishing, Chaos opening, and a flash of sharp Chaos lightning flitted by.

“The soul infant dissipated, and the Divine Soul completely fused with the Physical Body? My current Divine Soul state should be the legendary Primordial Spirit, right? The Divine Soul transforming into a Primordial Spirit and re-fusing into every cell of the Physical Body, increasing control and thought speed a hundredfold!” He felt the changes within himself, a satisfied curve forming at the corner of his mouth, “It’s time to go back and pick up those two little ones.”

He stepped onto the deck, and the dark gold tower ship beneath him silently activated, preparing to tear through the Void Realm and return to the Immortal-Demon Realm.

Just then, he paused, his eyebrows furrowed; with a wave of his hand, a rune emitting a crimson glow was forced out of his body and landed in his palm.

“Blood Heaven!”
