SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1164 - 1164 Battle Against the Son of Truth

The Son of Truth was genuinely a little surprised — he hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to be able to invoke the soul arts of the Western Heaven Sect.

Among the great sects across the heavens, those capable of competing with the Holy Quran Sect for followers could be counted on one hand.

The Western Heaven Sect was one of them.

Their foundation ran too deep — from ancient times to the present, they had commanded an endless stream of followers.

Even the Holy Quran Sect could not overshadow the Western Heaven Sect.

And these two sects, locked in a constant struggle for followers, would frequently erupt into conflict.

"No wonder you refused to submit beneath the embrace of the True God, Jun Xiaoyao — it turns out you actually follow the Western Heaven Sect." The Son of Truth said coldly.

To sects like these.

Worshipping a foreign faith was heresy.

Jun Xiaoyao sneered, "What do you mean 'follow'? These arts serve me. I am the only sovereign!"

What Jun Xiaoyao despised most were these mystical, preachy things.

Believing in anything was no match for believing in oneself.

As long as one possessed sufficient power.

What was a god worth?

Boom!

The dharma form of the Great Sun Tathagata seemed capable of suppressing the three-thousand great worlds, pressing down horizontally toward the Son of Truth.

Those supreme sacred chains of scripture were shattered apart.

Seeing this, the Son of Truth's expression shifted ever so slightly.

Jun Xiaoyao's aura was far too overwhelming.

"Did you actually bring your entire soul into this place?" the Son of Truth asked in astonishment.

"Your imagination is far too limited!"

Seeing the situation, Jun Xiaoyao continued to drive his vast soul power forward.

Boundless and endless, immeasurable and unborn!

"Immeasurable-tier perfection!"

The Son of Truth's pupils trembled.

This kind of mighty soul power was absolutely the power of immeasurable-tier perfection!

It was only a single step away from the legendary supreme Ganges-tier!

"How is that possible — Jun Xiaoyao is nothing more than a Supreme, how could he possibly possess such immense soul power?"

"And isn't his primary cultivation the physical body? How could his soul also be cultivated to this level?!"

The Son of Truth had his entire worldview overturned.

So there truly were people who could cultivate both the physical body and the soul to the absolute extreme.

The Son of Truth's expression darkened, and he continued to unleash his supreme techniques.

He threw a punch, and surging faith power came crashing forward.

The divine ring of truth behind his head was spinning, releasing brilliant radiance of truth.

Divine Fist of Truth!

This was a great technique of the Holy Quran Sect — a single punch, and it was as though one could be made to understand what true truth really was.

Of course, this was truth delivered in a very physical manner.

Boom!

The Divine Fist of Truth struck the dharma form of the Great Sun Tathagata, erupting in a grand resonance like the tolling of a morning bell and an evening drum.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao unleashed the arts of his past soul.

It was none other than the Reincarnation Tribulation.

In an instant, the entire will of the Son of Truth felt as though it had been drawn into some kind of vortex.

It was tribulation after tribulation cycling through reincarnation — enough to drive anyone mad.

But the Son of Truth was, after all, the supreme prodigy of the Holy Quran Sect, and his mental fortitude was absolutely beyond question.

"No tribulation can shake my faith in the True God!"

The Son of Truth silently recited the sacred words of the Holy Quran Sect, purging all delusions from his mind.

Very quickly, he recovered.

But Jun Xiaoyao then unleashed the techniques of his future soul.

The Other Shore Soul Bridge!

This was an art Jun Xiaoyao had obtained from the Mother of Other Shore Flowers.

Crimson other shore flowers drifted across the sky, and a bridge emerged from within them.

That bridge seemed as though it could ferry all the souls of the world toward the far end of the other shore.

"What kind of art is that?!"

The Son of Truth was truly stunned.

How could Jun Xiaoyao know so many soul arts?

And every single one of them was so ferociously powerful!

The Other Shore Soul Bridge came crushing down, combined with Jun Xiaoyao's own immeasurable-tier great perfection soul power.

Even someone as formidable as the Son of Truth felt as though a mountain was pressing down upon him, leaving him with no way to resist.

His body moved involuntarily, drawn by the Other Shore Soul Bridge, being pulled toward the other end of the bridge — toward the other shore.

It had to be said, the arts of the Other Shore clan were truly terrifying.

The body of the Son of Truth was torn apart in an instant.

Of course, this was only a portion of his soul — for the Son of Truth's true body, it would not cause too devastating an impact.

It was just that the opportunities within the Void Heaven Realm might now be beyond his reach.

"No, impossible!"

The Son of Truth cried out, and the originally shattered body began to be enveloped by endless light of faith.

His soul was no ordinary soul — it was a rare faith soul.

As long as the power of faith remained unbroken, it could provide his soul with an endless supply of energy.

The divine ring of truth behind the Son of Truth's head bloomed with boundless divine radiance, and the shattered soul body actually began to mend and restore itself.

He absolutely refused to be shut out of the Void Heaven Realm like this — he still needed to obtain the opportunities within.

"Jun Xiaoyao, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

"Faith unbroken, soul undying — this is the true strength of a faith soul!"

The Son of Truth regained his confidence, utterly transcendent, his entire being bathed in the radiance of faith.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, was rather unimpressed.

"Is that so?"

He tilted his head slightly.

If that was the case, then he would simply refine the whole thing.

Jun Xiaoyao activated his Devouring Laws, the Soul-Devouring Demon Art, the Heaven-Devouring Creation Divine Formula, the Devouring Great Divine Ability, and other such powers.

Finally, they fused into the One and Only Black Hole.

That black hole was unfathomably deep, as though it could refine all things in the universe.

A ferocious suction force erupted outward, directly pulling the entire soul of the Son of Truth into it.

"This… this is…"

The expression on the Son of Truth's previously confident face shifted once again.

Jun Xiaoyao's endless stream of techniques truly left him with nothing to say.

The light of faith across the Son of Truth's entire body was burning.

Supreme sacred words, the Divine Fist of Truth, and other powerful moves were unleashed in an attempt to destroy the One and Only Black Hole.

But that One and Only Black Hole devoured everything — even the techniques the Son of Truth unleashed were swallowed whole, without so much as a ripple.

In the end, the Son of Truth himself was entirely swept into the One and Only Black Hole.

No matter how extraordinary a faith soul was, there was no way to recover.

Because everything had been devoured.

Jun Xiaoyao immediately felt a surge of immense soul power being refined by him.

At the same time, a great deal of faith power and its essence were also comprehended by him.

Jun Xiaoyao gained instant enlightenment.

Having refined a portion of the Son of Truth's faith soul, Jun Xiaoyao gained profound insight.

"Perhaps I can condense a faith law!"

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up brightly.

He himself had already gathered the faith of all living beings, and on top of that, he still had his divine dharma body.

Now he had also refined a portion of the Son of Truth's soul.

This led him to develop an extremely deep understanding of faith power.

Jun Xiaoyao could use this to condense a faith law.

For Jun Xiaoyao, this was nothing short of an unexpected windfall.

"Not bad — these newly emerged prodigies are indeed one fat, juicy leek after another, bringing me so many benefits."

Jun Xiaoyao smiled, comprehending the essence of faith while continuing to press deeper.

Meanwhile, outside the Void Heaven Realm, on that shattered star.

Many prodigies had already awakened, all of them wearing expressions of helplessness — they had been eliminated not long after entering the Void Heaven Realm and had gained virtually nothing.

And at this moment, the Son of Truth, who had been sitting cross-legged within the ancient formation, suddenly shuddered and woke up.

His expression was as dark and still as water.

The surrounding prodigies looked over, all of them stunned.

"What — the Son of Truth actually woke up?"

"Does that mean he failed?"

"Impossible — how could he have failed so easily?"

The people around him found it utterly baffling.

The Son of Truth, setting aside comparisons with Jun Xiaoyao, the Ancient Young Emperor, the Innate Chaos Physique, and other prodigies of that tier.

He was still among the most elite group of prodigies, roughly on par with Huang Nie Dao, the Little Stone Emperor, and others like them.

And yet now, he had failed this early.

And by the looks of it, he hadn't obtained any great opportunity either.

Even the Third Elder Xu Mo appeared somewhat surprised.

But after a moment of thought, his aged eyes narrowed slightly, taking on a look of depth.

"Jun Xiaoyao…"

Feeling the many astonished gazes from those around him.

The Son of Truth kept his expression calm, but an intense chill surged within his heart.

He looked toward Jun Xiaoyao, who was still seated cross-legged on the other side of the ancient formation.

Jun Xiaoyao had not only prevented him from obtaining any opportunity in the Void Heaven Realm.

He had even devoured and refined a portion of his soul.

This was absolutely unforgivable.

If it weren't for the Third Elder Xu Mo presiding over this place, he feared he truly would not be able to hold himself back — he would strike directly at Jun Xiaoyao's true body and ensure he too could gain no opportunity.

"Jun Xiaoyao, this debt has been noted. Your divine dharma body and the faith of all living beings — my Holy Quran Sect must obtain them!"
