Ye Mo arrived to rescue Jiumo Dao and Tian Xiongxiong from the Wraith Camp's three-foot-tall leader, a Blood Wolf Tribe expert who recognized him as the killer of the Fifth and Sixth Princes. In an intense clash, Ye Mo shattered the enemy's peculiar Blood Origin World twice with his Immortal Cycle of Life and Death and spear techniques, ultimately slaying the Six-Time Space Gate powerhouse. The group reunited in a cave to await the final battle, their strengths greatly enhanced, as the Wraith Demon Emperor revealed the foe was actually a Soul Affinity Practitioner who had only opened one Space-Time Gate.

Soul Affinity Practitioner—this was the first time Ye Mo encountered the term, and simply bearing that title alone conferred such horrifying power.

"What precisely is a Soul Affinity Practitioner?"

Ye Mo questioned with keen interest.

"Soul Affinity Practitioners are naturally those with utmost compatibility toward soul origin. The moment they unlock the First Space-Time Gate, it surpasses others opening multiple gates; moreover, the soul origins they call forth fuse on their own into a partial soul body. Gather sufficient soul origin, and they instantly ascend to Demi-Honored Fighter."

Typically, those practicing the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations who access the Sevenfold Space-Time Gate possess ample soul origin. To attain Demi-Honored Fighter status, every bit of soul origin must fuse into a spectral soul body mirroring their physical form.

Yet, this fusion demands a prolonged effort.

"So that's a Soul Affinity Practitioner? How high does that three-foot man's compatibility go?"

Ye Mo probed with curiosity.

"Intermediate Affinity!"

The Wraith Demon Emperor declared: "Opening just Three Time-Space Gates would propel him straight to Demi-Honored without any fusion required."

Intermediate Affinity already marks one as a prodigy in the soul domain. Even gifted Martial Artists like Xiao Yue might unlock the Fourth Space-Time Gate and amass enough soul origin, yet still require fusion to become Demi-Honored.

And that fusion proves immensely challenging.

For Soul Affinity Practitioners, however, fusion is unnecessary; amass enough soul origin, and Demi-Honored Fighter status is theirs immediately.

"And Advanced Affinity?"

Ye Mo pressed eagerly.

"Mere two openings of the Space-Time Gate suffice for them to reach Demi-Honored. Yet, such Soul Affinity Practitioners are exceedingly scarce. During my era in Wraith Land, I never crossed paths with one, though I'm certain they exist."

The Wraith Demon Emperor let out a sigh before adding, "Furthermore, once Soul Affinity Practitioners hit Demi-Honored, their soul bodies grow far denser, granting strength that eclipses regular Demi-Honored Fighters."

Unlocking the Space-Time Gate demands harmonizing the Power of Time and space. Hence, Demi-Honored Fighters master both forces at their peak, and with a soul body formed, they wield soul might alongside formidable regeneration, rendering them almost unkillable.

A Soul Affinity Practitioner achieving Demi-Honored would outmatch typical ones, though slaying them remains exceedingly tough.

Only Divine Venerate Strong Practitioners can eliminate Demi-Honored Fighters.

Naturally, cases exist where Demi-Honored Fighters slay Divine Venerate Strong Practitioners, like with Zi Ning.

"Wraith Demon Emperor, does anyone exist who advances to Demi-Honored upon the very first Space-Time Gate opening?"

Ye Mo inquired once more.

"Heh heh, I've pondered that too, but it's utterly impossible—at least in the secular realm. It wouldn't be summoning soul origin but directly manifesting their soul body from some arcane space. Even in the Ancient Era, no such figure appeared."

The Wraith Demon Emperor shook his head.

Advanced Soul Affinity Practitioners are incredibly rare, and within the Three Thousand Continents' secular world, one might not emerge in a hundred thousand years, let alone Perfect Soul Affinity, which borders on mythical.

As Ye Mo chatted with the Wraith Demon Emperor, a mighty Heart Force abruptly swept through, shifting everyone's faces dramatically. Ye Mo sprang up instantly, gaze fixed on the cave mouth.

"This cave bears restrictions I set; normal powerhouses shouldn't probe inside with Heart Force."

Feng Chu exclaimed in astonishment.

"That Heart Force has hit ninth rank."

Shock filled Ye Mo's heart as well. He'd placed the restrictions himself, his own Heart Force at ninth rank with burst power around 103 times. Breaching it demanded utmost care, yet this foe pierced through casually with Heart Force alone, meaning theirs also reached ninth rank.

The group of six exited the cave, where in the mountain tunnel strode a colossal two-meter-tall man with powerful steps toward them.

The figure boasted thick brows and a burly build, a crown atop his forehead studded with a jade-green wolf gem.

"Could that be? The Wraith Camp's top warrior, Kill Break Wolf!"

Ye Mo's face darkened severely upon spotting the crown. Li Murong's intel had detailed a fearsome Demi-Honored Fighter from the Wraith Camp, the unrivaled number one called War Wolf Kill Break Wolf.

This warrior had clashed repeatedly with Spirit Martial Camp's Demi-Honored Fighters, always emerging victorious.

With a single strike, Kill Break Wolf ruled the Vanquishing Martial Realm.

Intel even stated Kill Break Wolf hadn't entered the Blood Prison Battlefield.

"Kill Break Wolf!"

Ye Mo's visage grew somber as he challenged, "As a Demi-Honored Fighter during this chaotic battle phase, showing up here—doesn't that violate the rules?"

Even voicing it, Ye Mo found it absurd. Yet Kill Break Wolf tracking them here meant clear intent; casual visits? No one would buy it.

"Rules?"

Kill Break Wolf eyed the six coldly and stated, "I represent no faction from the Wraith Camp. This battle holds no gain for me, but you've slain my brother, so vengeance calls."

"Brother?"

Ye Mo's thoughts whirled, recalling the three-foot man's words about his brother and needing a Demi-Honored Fighter to shatter his Blood Origin World.

Was Kill Break Wolf's brother that three-foot man?

"I followed my brother's aura trail here. Speak—who among you six slew him? One life suffices for me."

Kill Break Wolf demanded icily.

He sought no wholesale massacre; brotherly revenge was duty-bound.

Silence gripped the six momentarily. They knew Ye Mo had felled the three-foot man.

Though Kill Break Wolf was clueless on the killer, they realized volunteering meant certain doom from his hand.

A Demi-Honored Fighter striking? Even united, the six stood no chance.

Noting their pause, Kill Break Wolf smirked and warned, "Refuse to step up, and I'll slaughter every one of you six."

"Hold on!"

Ye Mo declared steadily, "I slew your brother. Release my five companions!"

"Oh?"

Kill Break Wolf folded his arms in disdain, gazing down at Ye Mo, sensing his lowest realm among them.

"You confess to killing my brother? Fine, only you die. The rest five may leave."

Kill Break Wolf replied indifferently.

"Kill Break Wolf, you're a Demi-Honored Fighter. Surely you grasp your brother's prowess? We six together took him down."

Feng Chu interjected, already donning Divine Demon Armor rivaling an Immortal Artifact, advancing a step.

At once, Xiao Yue, Mu Wanqing, Mo Bufan, and Bai Xueqin activated defensive armors and gripped weapons, declaring, "We six stand as one team."

"Thank you!"

Ye Mo grinned, heart swelling with pride for such allies.

"Thanks for what? We've lingered on the Blood Prison Battlefield ages without facing a Demi-Honored Fighter. Curious just how mighty they truly are."

Feng Chu sneered.

"Intriguing!"

Kill Break Wolf's face hardened further as he growled, "Since you all crave death, I'll oblige."

His aura erupted wildly, shattering the mountain entirely. Ye Mo's group of six and Kill Break Wolf materialized in the void, their cave obliterated to dust.
