Chapter 1083 - 1048: Yin Moon Soul Tribulation
In a deep valley thousands of miles away from the Demon Cloud Valley, the space seemed to be torn open, revealing a narrow fissure, from which Yuan Ming emerged in a flying escape.
He summoned the Shura Palace, entered it, and arrived at the Cold Martial Realm, where the corpse of the Red Flower Ghost Mother and the Purple and Green Demons were located.
The Purple and Green Demons had also awakened at this time, and upon seeing Yuan Ming appear, their faces showed an indescribable terror.
"I have no enmity with you. Blame it on the fact that you are of the Demon Clan, and the Demon World is plotting to annihilate the Chuyun Realm," Yuan Ming said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger and two strands of Soul Destroying Sword Energy shot out, mercilessly obliterating their Divine Souls.
Following that, he unleashed the Chaos Spiritual Domain, which, like an invisible giant net, absorbed all their remaining Demonic Qi and Divine Communication Seals.
The Demonic Qi boiled and condensed within him, eventually transforming into Mana, allowing Yuan Ming's power to rise significantly once more.
"Although the Mahayana Realm is not divided into early, middle, and late stages, my Mana at this moment has far surpassed Ancestor Bing Lan. As for Daoist Mu, how do I compare?" Yuan Ming pondered silently, his gaze shifting to the corpse of the Red Flower Ghost Mother.
He flicked his finger, a spark leaping from his fingertip, instantly turning the Red Flower Ghost Mother's body to ashes, leaving only a mass of boundless Soul Power, interspersed with over twenty mysterious runes.
One of the runes was the most dazzling, like a compass, half-illusory and half-real, shimmering with mysterious light.
Yuan Ming activated the Chaos Dao Fruit, and under his Mana, those runes gradually dissipated, transforming into his own power.
"So, this is the secret of the Red Flower Ghost Mother's undying nature." He murmured, a sudden realization dawning on him after a while.
This compass rune was the Red Flower Ghost Mother's Tao Divine Ability, known as the "Fate Compass."
It has the power to alter destiny, turning all harm, even death, into illusions.
As long as this Divine Ability could still function, the Red Flower Ghost Mother had no fear of falling.
However, using this Divine Ability required the consumption of Life Span, and the amount consumed depended on the significance of the destiny being rewritten.
"What a mysterious Divine Ability!" Yuan Ming admired it endlessly.
Now with abundant Life Span, protected by the Chaos Dao Fruit, Six Paths of Reincarnation, Chaos Spiritual Domain, and this Fate Compass, he was almost invincible.
Besides the Fate Compass, Yuan Ming also set his sights on two other formidable Divine Skills of the Red Flower Ghost Mother.
The first was "Shielding Heaven's Secret," a Divine Skill that seemed influenced by the Fate Compass, incorporated with the power of destiny. Once cast, it was as if concealed in the Void, without any trace.
Yuan Ming knew well the greatness of this Divine Skill. If it weren't for the Red Flower Ghost Mother's carelessness and being trapped by the Chaos Spiritual Domain, he would have found it difficult to subdue her.
As for the other Divine Skill, it was the incredibly powerful "Demon Dragon Roar," an Attack Divine Ability specifically targeting the Divine Soul, condensed from three types of Dao Seals—extraordinarily formidable.
"This Demon Dragon Roar aligns very well with my Soul Destroying Sword. The power of the Soul Destroying Sword hasn't been rising, and the hope of refining it into the Great Freedom Sky Demon Sword isn't great. Should I adjust the direction of its advancement?" Yuan Ming pondered internally.
However, this matter still needed to be discussed with Xi Hezi and Senior Kong.
After absorbing the seals of the Divine Skills, he began refining and absorbing the Soul Power of the Red Flower Ghost Mother.
Yuan Ming's Soul Power had already reached the peak of the Life Witch. After absorbing the Soul Power of the Ghost Witch level from the Red Flower Ghost Mother, his Divine Soul reached an extreme.
The massive Soul Power surged within his Sea of Consciousness, exceeding its capacity.
Yuan Ming only felt an excruciating headache, as if it was about to burst open.
He had anticipated this and wasn't flustered. First, he added a layer of protection around his Sea of Consciousness with Chaotic Power, then operated the Moonlight Technique to absorb this Soul Power, refining the Three Souls.
The human soul is divided into Three Souls and Seven Spirits. Previously, when he broke through to the Life Witch, he had already completed condensing the Seven Spirits.
Refining the Three Souls was necessary for breaking through to the Ghost Witch.
The Three Souls of humans are Heaven, Earth, and Human. The Heavenly Soul controls destiny, the Earthly Soul governs reincarnation, and the Human Soul carries memory. Completing the refining requires not only immense time but also exceptional comprehension.
Yuan Ming didn't have that kind of time, but he had been considering this matter for a long time and had indeed devised a method.
Now having mastered the Chaos Spiritual Domain and acquired the Fate Compass Divine Ability, the success rate of this method was even higher.
Yuan Ming formed hand seals, and from the Chaos Dao Fruit emerged two Divine Skills, namely the Fate Compass, Six Paths of Reincarnation, along with a small hand-shaped Dao Seal, a Soul Searching Divine Ability snatched from the Red Flower Ghost Mother.
The three Divine Skills entered the mind, intertwining with the Three Souls respectively.
The Fate Compass contained the True Meaning of Destiny, the Six Paths of Reincarnation related to the way of reincarnation, and the Soul Searching Divine Ability was derived from the memory of the Divine Soul, closely related to the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Souls.
Yuan Ming had mostly relied on comprehending others for breakthroughs in realm or understanding of Divine Skills over the years. Now refining the Three Souls, he habitually employed this method again.
He had refined the Three Souls before, progressing extremely slowly, but now aided by the comprehension of three Divine Skills, the progress seemed much faster.
However, Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness was already filled with excessive Soul Power, and now added with the three Divine Skills, it became even more swollen and painful.
Fortunately, he had long used Chaotic Power to shield his Sea of Consciousness, so there was no need to worry about it being damaged from the pressure.
Yuan Ming continued operating the Moonlight Technique to refine Soul Power while refining the Three Souls.
The time passed, and soon a day and night had elapsed.
The inflated Soul Power in Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness had been mostly refined, no longer causing it pain, and a considerable amount of refinement had been done on the Three Souls.
Nevertheless, it would still take years, if not decades, to complete the refinement.
It's a pity that he now has limited time and cannot afford to continue spending it here.
Yuan Ming stopped cultivating and was about to get up.
"Do you wish to cultivate into a Ghost Witch?" Kong's voice suddenly resonated in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Senior Kong, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Ming paused his actions and asked in return.
"It's literal. I have a way to help you quickly complete the refinement of your Three Souls." Kong said slowly.
"Senior possesses such Divine Skills?" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up, not questioning the authenticity of Kong's words.
After all, over the years, none of what Kong had said to him had ever been false.
"Of course, I can't do it, but the Stealing Heaven Tripod can." Kong replied with a smile.
"The Stealing Heaven Tripod has such an ability too?" Yuan Ming showed a look of surprise.
"Have you perhaps forgotten the possession ability of the Stealing Heaven Tripod? This ability also originates from the gray statue. I can utilize this ability to deeply integrate those three Divine Skills with your Three Souls. If all goes well, it won't take long for you to complete the refinement of the Three Souls." Kong explained.
"I see. Thank you, Senior Kong." Yuan Ming felt a stir in his heart and thanked with a cupped fist salute.
"Don't rush to thank me. My help comes with conditions." Kong stated.
"Please, state your terms, Senior." Yuan Ming was not surprised, as Kong was always this way.
"You already owe me a condition. After you advance to Ghost Witch, when the Chaos Dao Fruit reaches Perfection and forms perfect Chaotic Power, I want you to spend a year using the Chaotic Power to help me shape a body!" Kong demanded.
"Just that? No problem at all." Yuan Ming nodded after a slight pause.
"Remember what you said." Kong remarked.
Before his voice even faded, the Stealing Heaven Tripod automatically emerged, hovering above Yuan Ming's head and spinning rapidly.
A beam of gray light descended from the tripod, enveloping Yuan Ming's head, penetrating his Sea of Consciousness, and wrapping around his Divine Soul.
Yuan Ming's Divine Soul turned incredibly cold, his mind unprecedentedly composed.
The Fate Compass, Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Soul Search Divine Abilities also exuded a chill, merging into the Divine Soul and firmly integrating with the Three Souls.
Countless insights about the Three Souls surged in, and within the Sea of Consciousness, Soul Power rumbled, injecting into the Three Souls separately.
The refinement of Yuan Ming's Three Souls accelerated rapidly, countless times faster than his previous insights.
A sense of joy surged in his heart, yet he remained extremely calm, stably operating everything.
Time ticked by, and soon a day and a night had passed.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the mountain hollow suddenly changed.
The sky instantly turned gloomy, and a thunderous roar emanated from the clouds. The demon beasts within a radius of several thousand miles felt a chill throughout their bodies, as if a heavy stone pressed on their hearts, and they fled in terror.
A pale gray Round Moon appeared in the sky, and boundless gray Yin Clouds accumulated, howling winds swept through everything.
The Demon Clan on the Three Realms Immortal Boat quickly perceived the situation here. The Three of the Five Sword Demon Emperor flew out of the giant boat, gazing in this direction.
"It's the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation!" the Five Sword Demon Emperor said with a focused gaze.
"I've never heard of a Soul Cultivator's heritage in the Wentian Secret Realm before, so it's unlikely a creature of this place is undergoing a tribulation. Could it be the cultivator from the Chuyun Realm just now?" the Copper Tiger Little Saint voiced his speculation.
"It's possible. With the unknown fate of the Red Flower Ghost Mother, the other party likely utilized the Soul Power of the Red Flower Ghost Mother to achieve a breakthrough." the Five Sword Demon Emperor nodded slowly.
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go kill that person and use their head to repent to Lord Yan Emperor." the Copper Tiger Great Saint immediately said.
The Copper Tiger Little Saint's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.
If it truly is that person, then just like the three with the Red Flower Ghost Mother could not withstand, they three are likely to meet the same fate.
"Fine, we can't carelessly lose the Three Realms Immortal Boat, at least we should meet the person." the Five Sword Demon Emperor nodded.
Looking at the distant tribulation clouds in the sky, the Copper Tiger Little Saint's mind turned: Attacking when the opponent is undergoing tribulation indeed gives a decent chance of success.
The three immediately instructed the Demon Clan on the ship to hold their ground, their figures rose into the sky, transforming into three streaks of tunneling light, speeding towards the tribulation cloud's direction.
...
In the mountain hollow, Yuan Ming's body floated upward, directly facing the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation brewing in mid-air.
Kong's method was too effective. In this day and night of comprehension, his Three Souls advanced at an unbelievable speed, reaching Perfection directly.
His Soul Power had long reached the Peak of Life Witch. With the completion of the Three Souls' refinement, the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation immediately descended.
Yuan Ming felt no worry towards this Yin Moon Soul Tribulation.
The Chaos Dao Fruit alone made the Soul Tribulation's attack no big deal, let alone his newly acquired Fate Compass Divine Ability.
As the tribulation clouds in mid-air pressed lower, the surrounding Yin Wind suddenly turned frigid, a layer of ice formed by condensed Yin Qi covered the ground in the mountain hollow.
Yuan Ming remained calm and focused, activating the Chaos Dao Fruit, and a layer of Chaos Shield immediately appeared around him, continuously circulating.
