Li Chen prepares to undergo the Holy Soul Baptism to cleanse his Sea of Consciousness. As dark clouds gather and thunder rumbles, the Holy Soul begins to descend. Domain Realm cultivators and Ferocious Demons alike prepare to battle for this rare opportunity. Dean Qu Qiu departs to join the fray, leaving Li Chen and Red Moon to secure a Holy Soul for themselves.

Although there aren’t many Holy Souls, there are still dozens.

For cultivators and Ferocious Demons, if they can’t seize one, they can still fight for the others. There’s no need to hang oneself on a crooked-neck tree.

Although Red Moon only acted once, the two Demon Beasts and three cultivators realized something.

This red-robed youth is definitely not someone they can afford to offend.

Although he looks young, his strength and decisiveness in killing are likely unmatched by anyone here.

What a joke, that Tiger-shaped Ferocious Beast, weak as it may be, is definitely a top-level powerhouse in the Domain Realm, with solid Sixth Rank combat power. Even a cultivator of the same level would certainly be at a disadvantage against that Tiger.

Yet this existence was torn to shreds by the red-robed youth as easily as swatting a fly. Such a being is likely at least a Soul Realm-level expert.

With a Soul Realm-level expert taking action, attempting to seize it would be truly suicidal.

"Hmm, so this is the so-called Holy Soul."

Li Chen held the golden light brought by Red Moon, observed it carefully, and without regard for the envious glances from surrounding Ferocious Demons and cultivators, he directly slapped the golden light onto his forehead.

"Swish——"

The golden light entered without the slightest hesitation.

Sea of Consciousness.

With the entry of the Holy Soul, Li Chen felt his Sea of Consciousness become warm, like sunshine after several days of heavy snow.

"Not bad."

Li Chen’s Divine Soul bathed in this golden light, feeling a sense of comfort.

No wonder those in the Domain Realm went crazy over the Holy Soul; its effects are indeed remarkable.

Li Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, disturbed by black qi for a long time, became riddled. Although it began to recover after expelling the black qi, it never returned to its former peak state.

So even though Li Chen’s Divine Soul Force has reached the level of the Dao Saint, he has yet to truly return to his peak.

However, under the illumination of the Holy Soul, Li Chen feels the recovery speed of his Sea of Consciousness significantly increasing.

"Good stuff!"

Opening his eyes, Li Chen’s gaze brightened and then turned toward the sky.

"Master, should I bring all these Holy Souls over?" Red Moon, seeing Li Chen’s gaze, couldn’t help but ask.

"No need." Li Chen shook his head. "While they are effective, they’re too weak. Even if I fuse all these dozens, it might still not fully restore my Sea of Consciousness."

"Unless... there is something a level stronger than the Holy Soul."

Saying this, Li Chen’s eyes turned to the clouds covering the sky.

Everyone knows about the Descent of the Holy Soul, but nobody can clearly explain where the Holy Soul originates from or how it operates.

Even Qu Qiu didn’t understand.

Because their strength couldn’t reach that level.

But Li Chen is different.

"There is something inside that cloud." Li Chen said.

Even if his cultivation is dreadful, unable to sustain the Eye of the Dao, Li Chen’s Divine Soul is still levels above all surrounding beings, immediately detecting the oddity within the clouds.

Other cultivators, even knowing the uniqueness of the cloud giving rise to the Holy Soul, still couldn’t approach.

When nearing the cloud, an eerie force automatically repels anyone attempting to get close.

The closer one gets, the stronger the repulsive force becomes.

Forget the Domain Realm; even Soul Realm experts tried and failed, forcibly driven back by the mysterious force under the clouds.

"Master, I’ll go take a look." Red Moon said.

"Hmm." Li Chen nodded. "Be careful."

"I know," Red Moon answered.

Once, when Li Chen entered the world of cultivators as a newcomer, he would always help replenish blood qi energy while slaying enemies, aiding his evolution.

Through countless devourings, Red Moon, originally just a slightly sharp Blood Blade with some unique power, has come to where it stands today.

Ultimately, receiving the Blood Saint’s inheritance, Red Moon was freed from the ’instrument’ status, capable of cultivating independently.

Li Chen is both his master and his comrade.

Previously, Li Chen constantly helped him absorb the Essence Blood of strong individuals to evolve.

Now, it’s his turn to guard Li Chen!

Suspended in the air, red robes billowing in the wind, Red Moon stood under the clouds, expression indifferent.

For eighty million years, while Li Chen battled the black qi, Red Moon didn’t remain idle.

He even rid himself of the black qi’s threat a step ahead of Li Chen, though suffered damage and couldn’t return to peak state.

But during these eighty million years of honing, Red Moon’s power steadily increased with each step.

Once completely free from black qi’s restrictions, although Red Moon couldn’t restore his peak combat power, his potential grew infinitely stronger than before.

This is the power of will!

"Hmm?"

As Red Moon approached, he felt the repulsive force from the clouds, seemingly not allowing his type to come near.

Red Moon furrowed his brows as an immense Vital Essence erupted from his body.

"Open for me!!"

With a flash of blood-red light, followed by a tearing sound, as if something invisible was ripped apart.

In the next instant, Red Moon directly flashed into the clouds.

No one saw this scene, for all below were frantically fighting for the Holy Soul.

Li Chen stood expressionless.

Soon, Li Chen saw Red Moon, looking a bit pale, fly out from the clouds and land before him. Despite appearing somewhat battered, a brilliant light flickered in Red Moon’s eyes.

As Red Moon stretched out his hand, a dark golden Light Pearl appeared.

"Master, I feel this object contains spirituality far more concentrated and pure than the previous Holy Soul. Try it."

Li Chen’s lips twitched as he looked at the firmament veiled in clouds, ultimately opting to remain silent.

They didn’t need many words between them, just a look sufficed to grasp each other’s thoughts.

Words of gratitude weren’t necessary.

Glancing at the dark golden bead, Li Chen didn’t hesitate, taking it and swallowing it directly.

As Li Chen swallowed the bead, before anything could manifest, a rage-filled roar suddenly erupted from the clouds.

"Who?! Who has stolen my Purified Soul Pearl?! Get out here!!"

Li Chen’s mouth twitched.

He finally understood why even Red Moon seemed somewhat battered.

Judging by the imposing voice, if he guessed right, this should be... a Dao Saint.

Is a Dao Saint really so worthless now?

Li Chen felt if he had a bag of salt, he would fiercely slam it to the ground.
