148: Chapter 148 The Dragon Soul Reappears

Su Yan's soul, which had been forced out, floated in mid-air, filled with resentment and grievance.

She looked at the formation that was about to be completed, then at the three people—Lu Bingyun and her companions—who were watching like tigers stalking prey. A crazed and resolute smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Hahaha... You think you've won? No! You've lost!"

Su Yan's soul let out a piercing, shrill laugh. "Little brother! Your sister will use her soul as a sacrifice to help you perfect the grand formation and ascend to Deity Transformation!"

Before her voice faded, her gray soul suddenly ignited, turning into a beam of extremely pure light containing her lifelong cultivation and soul essence. It injected itself into the Yin-Yang Inverted Five Elements Grand Formation, which had not yet fully lit up!

Buzz—!

The entire grand formation seemed to have its final core injected. All the formation patterns instantly lit up with a blinding, sinister light. The Yin and Yang energies spun wildly, and the five elements spiritual power became completely reversed and chaotic!

The lid of the ice coffin at the core of the formation slammed open. Ye Wushuang's corpse was pulled by an invisible force, floating up and falling into the Formation Eye.

In the outer courtyard, Chen Zilong, who was about to deliver a killing blow to Su Hao, suddenly felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure soaring into the sky from deep within the manor!

This power surpassed the Nascent Soul and stood above the mundane world!

Su Hao, who had been beaten to the brink of death, suddenly erupted with ten thousand feet of light!

The Golden Core within his body spun and expanded at an unprecedented speed, then shattered with a bang!

A tiny infant phantom, similar to him in appearance but more majestic, with chaotic air currents and countless threads of fate swirling around it, flashed and disappeared above his head!

His injuries healed instantly, his tattered robes were repaired by an invisible force, and his aura surged upward as if there were no limit!

Nascent Soul Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage...

Finally, he steadily stepped into the realm that countless cultivators dreamed of—the Soul Transformation Stage!

Su Hao—no, at this moment, he should be called the Nascent Soul Cultivator Su Hao—slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes became incredibly deep, as if they contained the starry sky and could see through all things.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Chen Zilong's killing blow, which combined the powers of Daoism, Buddhism, and Demonism, actually dissipated into nothingness like a bubble.

"Hehe... Hahaha!"

Feeling the power within his body, as vast as the sea and seemingly able to control the rules of heaven and earth, Su Hao couldn't help but laugh towards the sky. "Success! Ye Wushuang's fate, Ye Wushuang's fortune, Ye Wushuang's everything... Now, it's all mine!"

His gaze fell upon Chen Zilong as if looking at an ant. "Chen Zilong, now it's my turn."

The battle reversed instantly!

Before, Su Hao only had the power to defend himself against Chen Zilong.

But now, the Soul Transformation Stage Su Hao just made a casual strike, channeling the heaven and earth spiritual energy into a giant palm that covered the sky, slapping down toward Chen Zilong!

Chen Zilong's face changed drastically as he exerted all his strength to activate the five thunders heavenly heart armor and the overlord cauldron for defense.

But before that giant palm, which contained the might of heaven and earth, his defense was as flimsy as paper.

The overlord cauldron was slapped away, its spiritual light dimming, and the thunder patterns on the five thunders armor cracked inch by inch.

He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, coughing up blood and slamming heavily onto the ground.

He didn't know how many bones he had broken, and he completely lost his combat capability.

Su Hao strolled over with a playful smile, like a cat playing with a mouse, preparing to deliver the final blow to Chen Zilong.

At this critical moment, another change occurred!

An ancient storage ring worn on the finger of Ye Wushuang's corpse suddenly burst with brilliant light!

An aged, majestic dragon roar, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, echoed throughout the manor!

A phantom-like yet supremely oppressive shadow of a divine dragon spiraled out from the storage ring!

Its gaze swept across the scene, finally settling on Lu Bingyun, whose face was pale from excessive exhaustion.

"Little girl,"

The Divine Dragon Soul spoke, its voice echoing directly in Lu Bingyun's mind. "I am a remnant soul of the Taixu Divine Dragon clan, and I am this fellow Ye Wushuang's master."

Lu Bingyun was startled.

She had memories of the future and had long been aware of the existence of this Taixu Divine Dragon soul.

The dragon soul continued:

"Ye Wushuang took your Supreme Sword Body; he owes you a debt of karma."

"Today, I can help you break this evil formation, but I need you to promise me one thing."

"Please speak, Senior!" Lu Bingyun said without hesitation.

"The core of this formation lies in the connection between Ye Wushuang's physical body and Su Hao's fate."

"Destroy Ye Wushuang's body, and the grand formation will break itself. Su Hao's newly acquired Deity Transformation cultivation will also suffer a severe backlash because its foundation is destroyed."

The dragon soul spoke rapidly, "I will teach you the method to break the formation."

"After it's done, you must take this storage ring; it is where I reside."

"In the future, when you ascend to the Immortal Realm, you must find the Dragon Transformation Pool to help me reconstruct my dragon body."

"In return, I will not only help you break the formation but also teach you all the divine abilities and secret methods of the Taixu Divine Dragon clan, which can be considered compensation for Ye Wushuang taking your sword body back then."

"Ascending to the Immortal Realm?"

"All the divine abilities of the Taixu Divine Dragon clan?"

The temptation was enormous, but the risk was equally great.

Lu Bingyun looked at Chen Zilong in the distance, whose life or death was unknown, then at Tu Shan Xiaoxiao and Jin Mei beside her, who were still in shock. Her eyes instantly became incredibly determined.

She had no way back!

"I promise you!" Lu Bingyun said resolutely.

"Good!" The dragon soul said no more, and a divine sense containing the method to break the formation was instantly transmitted into Lu Bingyun's Sea of Consciousness.

"Jin Mei, Xiaoxiao!"

Lu Bingyun immediately made a decision. "Take Zilong and leave here now! The faster, the better! I will stay behind to break the formation!"

"Senior Sister Lu!" Tu Shan Xiaoxiao said anxiously.

"Go, now!"

Lu Bingyun shouted sternly, while turning around and pointing her sword at the sinister grand formation.

Following the method taught by the dragon soul, she began to mobilize the remaining spiritual energy in her body, preparing to deliver the lethal blow.

Jin Mei reacted very quickly, knowing that now was not the time for hesitation.

She grabbed Tu Shan Xiaoxiao and ran out of there.

Arriving outside the courtyard, Chen Zilong had already been beaten to the brink of death by the now Deity-Transformation-level Su Hao, falling miserably to the ground.

Jin Mei rushed to Chen Zilong's side, fed him a life-saving spiritual pill, and then, with Tu Shan Xiaoxiao on either side, they supported the unconscious Chen Zilong and sped away into the distance.

Su Hao's attention was drawn by Lu Bingyun and the suddenly appearing Divine Dragon Soul. Additionally, having just entered the Soul Transformation Stage, his control over his power was not yet proficient, so he ignored the three of them.

His gaze turned dark as he looked at Lu Bingyun:

"You think you can destroy the grand formation?"

Lu Bingyun did not answer. Her entire mind was immersed in the profound technique taught by the dragon soul.

Her body began to emit an Ethereal Sword Qi that was incompatible with the Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation yet vaguely suppressed it.

However, just as Lu Bingyun was about to launch the formation-breaking strike, Su Hao moved!

The speed of the Soul Transformation Stage was far beyond her imagination. He appeared before her almost like a teleportation, pressing a palm into her dantian qi sea!

Pfft—!

Lu Bingyun spat out a mouthful of blood, and the sword qi gathered around her instantly dissipated.

She collapsed to the ground, easily restrained by Su Hao.

"Interesting... A remnant soul of the Taixu Divine Dragon? Ye Wushuang, you really left behind quite a few secrets."

Su Hao looked at the storage ring, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
