Chapter 65 - Soul Fusion Technique!

ost souls became scarcer, replaced by fierce souls of the true essence realm. These fierce souls were relatively few in number, with about four thousand on each hill.

Strangely, besides Nason, who had already been killed by Leng Yan, Leng Yan hadn’t encountered any Asuras of the Heavenly Realm.

Through continuous devouring along the way, Leng Yan’s ten Asuras had progressed to the third layer of cultivation in the nine yin fiend god technique.

Spreading his spiritual awareness, Leng Yan perceived the scenery within dozens of miles as if he were seeing it with his own eyes. Within this range, there were no fierce souls anymore; Leng Yan had only collected a few hills. Yet, the other hills remained desolate, causing Leng Yan to feel puzzled.

“Roar! Roar!”

Suddenly, roars echoed in his ears, and the ground beneath him trembled slightly.

“What’s happening? What’s roaring?” Leng Yan, intrigued, stowed away the netherworld ghost banner, set up a concealment seal on himself, and headed towards the direction of the tremors.

“Today you won’t escape my grasp! Array of Ten Thousand Souls!” Before Leng Yan stood a resolute-looking man clad in a black robe, wielding a dazzling saber, with a pitch-black triangular flag floating beside him.

In front of this man was a fiendish soul black tiger, over three meters in length, its eyes glowing red, with two fangs protruding through its lower jaw. Its tail, like a steel whip, lashed through the Void, creating thunderous sounds!

The man was Lin Fan, an inner disciple of the Soul Refinement Sect from the Tiger Fury Star. While pursuing this fiendish soul black tiger, he accidentally entered a teleportation formation leading him here. The black tiger was a spirit beast mutated by cultivating demonic techniques, exceedingly fierce. Lin Fan sought a weapon spirit for refining his magical treasure, the “soul banner,” which is why he relentlessly chased it.

Black mist covered the sky, blotting out the sun as tens of thousands of ghost souls formed a grand formation to press against the black tiger. However, this black tiger was formidable, roaring continuously and stirring up fierce winds. With each roar, ghost souls burst forth from its mouth, shrieking miserably.

These ghost souls charged into Lin Fan’s ghost soul formation, self-destructing without hesitation…

Subsequently, the fiendish soul black tiger, as swift as the wind, lunged fiercely at Lin Fan, its mouth agape, two fangs glinting with a chilling light.

“Bang!”

The fiendish soul black tiger’s claw was intercepted by Lin Fan’s saber. Seizing this moment, the soul banner spun in the air, retracting its fabric, revealing a sharp spear tip at the flagpole’s end.

Like lightning and shadow!

The soul banner pierced into the back of the fiendish soul black tiger. Blood flowed from the wound. This was just the beginning. Before the tiger could let out a cry, thousands of fierce souls flew from the soul banner, drilling into the tiger’s body.

“Roar!”

The fiendish soul black tiger let out a painful cry, swinging its tail to force Lin Fan back.

Roar…

The fiendish soul black tiger roared fiercely, its body suddenly expanding. Its black fur emitted a black mist, forcing out Lin Fan’s soul banner. The fierce souls that had entered its body might likely have become its nourishment.

“With the realm of the primordial qi realm, yet possessing the combat strength of the Heavenly Realm! What a demonic beast!” Leng Yan exclaimed, watching the battle unfold.

“Good, the stronger you are, the more I want to conquer you. Prepare to become the weapon spirit of my magical treasure! Soul Convergence!” Lin Fan shouted, spreading the soul banner wide once more. From it, an astonishing one hundred thousand fierce souls flew out. The most surprising part was what followed. Under Lin Fan’s command, the one hundred thousand fierce souls began converging into a single fierce soul. Its aura rapidly rose-primordial qi realm, Heavenly Realm, Unification Realm! It reached mid-stage Unification Realm power.

One hundred thousand fierce souls coalesced into this fearsome entity, resembling a demon god clad in pitch-black armor, exuding an extraordinarily intense Fiendish Qi.

“Roar…”

Sensing the opponent’s immense power and the threat it posed, the fiendish soul black tiger roared and slowly retreated.

“Honestly, I should thank you! Without you, I wouldn’t have found this place. I couldn’t have subdued so many fierce souls, nor would I have gained such power to capture you. Haha!” Lin Fan hadn’t anticipated that the power of one hundred thousand fierce souls could rival a cultivator of the Unification Realm, filling him with excitement.

To him, the fiendish soul black tiger was already as good as his.

However, Leng Yan wasn’t the only one feeling his heart race with excitement. From the shadows, Leng Yan was utterly captivated by the fusion technique he had just witnessed.

If he could master this method, fusing ten Asuras of the Heavenly Realm together, could it possibly achieve the power of the Unification Realm? Moreover, the strength of these Asuras was continuously increasing!

Currently, Leng Yan relied on the meridians transformed by the Dragon Emperor’s essence blood and numerous top-level cultivation techniques, providing him with substantial offensive abilities to challenge realms above his own.

Yet, as his realm progressed, the gap between each stage became increasingly significant! Particularly, the divide between the Unification Realm and the Golden Core Realm was a chasm that seemed insurmountable.

Therefore, to maintain his advantage, Leng Yan knew he had to use every possible method to enhance his strength.

“Leng Yan, what’s happening over there? Such a commotion!” Chu Jianfeng’s voice echoed in his mind through sound transmission.

“I see someone capturing a demonic beast. Hurry over, this person has a cultivation technique that could be quite beneficial for us!” Leng Yan replied with a smirk.

“Alright, I’ll be there soon!” Chu Jianfeng exclaimed excitedly. The guy was quite keen on tasks involving ambushes and looting.

“Trap it for me!” Lin Fan shouted, pointing at the fiendish soul black tiger.

The strong man formed from one hundred thousand fierce souls only experienced a growth in power, yet lacked spiritual wisdom, thus only following commands.

Following Lin Fan’s orders, the strong man stepped forward, pressing a massive, black hand toward the fiendish soul black tiger.

The black tiger roared, leaping fiercely with sharp teeth aiming for the strong man’s arm.

The strong man, much like a puppet, didn’t seem to feel any pain. With a single swing of his arm, he flung the black tiger a hundred meters away.

“So powerful! The only thing that can contend with this strong man now is Fiend Thunder. Five hundred should do the trick!” Leng Yan pulled out five hundred Fiend Thunders, wrapped them in a concealment seal, and hurled them toward the strong man formed from the fierce souls.

Enveloped in the concealment seal, the Fiend Thunders wouldn’t be hard to detect if Lin Fan paid close attention, considering his realm. However, due to the strong man’s incredible power, Lin Fan was overly confident and neglected to observe his surroundings.

With the Fiend Thunders thrown, Leng Yan quickly retreated!

“Boom!”

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground trembled from the powerful explosion. Leng Yan watched as the strong man was reduced to ashes, dissipating along with the dust and smoke.

“How could this happen? Who did this? Show yourself!” Lin Fan’s excitement turned to fury with the explosion, as if he was thrown from the heavens to the earth. The disappearance of his Unification Realm puppet felt like a dagger to his heart.

Enraged like never before, Lin Fan swept the area with his spiritual awareness and finally detected Leng Yan’s presence.

Although he couldn’t see Leng Yan, he sensed an anomaly where Leng Yan was hiding. With some thought, he realized someone was concealed there!

“Coward! Sneaking around and ruining my plans, show yourself!” Lin Fan roared angrily, pushing out a massive black hand.

“Fire Spirit Seal!”

Knowing he had been discovered, Leng Yan saw no need for further concealment. He conjured a fiery hand of the same size to meet Lin Fan’s.

As the two hands clashed, another storm erupted, with flames scattering like fireworks!

“Who are you? Why are you sabotaging me?” After exchanging blows, Lin Fan understood Leng Yan’s strength was on par with his own. He also noticed the black tiger glaring at him with hostility. Quickly regaining his composure, he realized he couldn’t afford to make an enemy of such strength.

“Who I am is not important. What matters is that I’m interested in your method of fusing fierce souls,” Leng Yan replied with a cold smile.

“Do you really think you’re capable of that? You’re strong, but you’re still lacking compared to me!” Lin Fan twitched with anger as he spoke.

“Lacking? With the black tiger’s help, I might be able to make up for that gap,” Leng Yan looked at the black tiger in the distance and smiled.

The black tiger, although unable to speak, had gained spiritual wisdom and understood Leng Yan’s words. It moved to Leng Yan’s side, making its intentions clear.

“You!” Lin Fan feared nothing more than Leng Yan joining forces with the black tiger, but Leng Yan had already seen through his worries.

“Well? Do I have a better chance now? Are you going to hand over the method willingly, or should I extract it from your soul myself!” Leng Yan coldly threatened.
