Among all the races under the vast Heaven, it was said that the Human Race had the most abundant Qi Fortune.
Many even called the Human Race a Heavenly Dao Race.
Yet, when compared to other Races, the Human Race had a weak Physique.
Except for a few extraordinary individuals who were blessed by Heaven from birth, among those born with an affinity for cultivation, nearly 99% possessed a common physique.
Though rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures did exist that could change one’s physique and Qi Fate, finding them wasn’t easy.
Even if such rare Spiritual Treasures were discovered, with the massive population of the human race, how many would have the chance to get it?
And even with high rank Daoist Techniques, the improvement couldn’t match those born with superior physiques.
The difference between ordinary humans, humans with special constitution, and other races would only grow wider with each breakthrough into higher realms.
Thus, an Ancestor of the Central Continent’s Human Race created a special method.
That was Soul Essence Fusion.
This technique was basically to devour a Spiritual Beast’s Soul to gain the power, abilities, and physique of that beast.
But few Ancestors of the human race feared that cultivating this technique could slowly cause the ‘humanity’ within humans to fade away.
After all, this technique was quite like some evil Demonic Soul Cultivation.
As a race that followed the Righteous Dao, cultivating this technique could potentially weaken the Qi Fortune of the entire race.
So in the end, this technique didn’t spread among the common people.
Yet, the greed of cultivators knew no bounds.
After all, if one ignored the possibility that the devouring of a Spiritual Beast’s Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit could backfire, the strength one could gain after successfully devouring a special Spiritual Soul was truly tempting.
Thus, among the cultivators who had reached their potential, many turned to Soul Essence Fusion to surpass their limits.
Even those Ancestors who had initially opposed this technique, tried it when their lives neared their end, hoping to extend their lifespan!
So when Iris used her Dragon roar, Qin Hongtang mistakenly thought that she had cultivated Soul Essense Fusion Technique.
…
At this moment, as a bizarre figure appeared from the rubble, causing the surrounding cultivators to widen their eyes!
What emerged was no longer the burly Jiang Yun, but more like a Spiritual Beast that seemed half-human, half-beast.
The dark scales covering the body seemed to be on black fire, emitting a cold aura.
His humanoid body was grotesquely bizzare, with shoulders twice the normal width and arms that reached past his knees!
His right hand was bleeding from where Iris’s attack had struck him, but as everyone watched, the wound began to close, scales regenerating over the damaged flesh until no trace remained!
A terrifying Soul Sense of Mid stage Divinity Transformation erupted wildly from Jiang Yun’s transformed body.
The Slaughter Domain covered the whole area once more, as the stench of blood filled the air.
This time, it was more stronger and oppressive!
The pressure was so immense that the Royal City guards who had come to investigate what had happened here turned pale with terror.
They didn’t dare to speak a single word, only taking out Talisman to send the urgent news to the higher ups.
The entire area became soak with crimson blood that seemed to seep from nowhere, creating a terrifying sight!
Dead trees suddenly spurted out with twisted bodies hanging from their branches, swaying in the wind!
Their hollow eyes suddenly opened wide, and they screeched loudly, echoing through the air!
SCREEEEEECHH!!
This time, not only did more human corpses crawl out of the earth, but even unknown monsters also appeared!
“Physical manifestation of Law… affecting the Heaven and Earth…! It’s in the process of becoming an Authority!” A middle-aged guard captain spoke solemnly as he appeared beside the city guards.
“Immediately evacuate this place of common people…” He spoke loudly.
“B-but sir, shouldn’t we try to stop them?” One guard asked, his voice trembling.
“Hmph… if you have the power then go and try?” The captain slapped that guard hard, “Can’t you see that guy’s wearing Royal Academy robes?”
“Y-yes sir…” The first guard replied, nodding in understanding.
Meanwhile,
“You whore, how dare injured this young master, I’ll refine your body and soul after enjoying you!” Jiang Yun laughed as he took out a silver broadsword.
Just as he was about to move,
Clang!
The snow stopped falling for a moment as a mountain-splitting shockwave spread outwards!
Jiang Yun’s pupils abruptly shrank as he noticed a sword had unknowingly appeared in his field of vision.
But what shocked him was the fist that the sword had stopped because he hadn’t even noticed it!
“Interesting!” Haoran chuckled and suddenly the sword glowed intensely as if a bright sun had appeared illuminating the evening sky!
As the Sword Qi faded, Jiang Yun saw the figure standing before him.
This was a handsome young man with long white hair and crimson eyes.
As their eyes met, Jiang Yun instinctively took a step back as he felt the horrifying killing intent locked onto his body.
He had a feeling that if it were not for Haoran stopping that fist earlier, he would’ve been in serious trouble!
At the same time,
Lucian backed away and stopped 50 meters away from them.
He glanced at his bleeding fist, which now had a sharp wound!
The earlier clash had actually sliced his skin!
As the wound healed visibly, his gaze moved towards the green-haired man.
Feeling the sword energy surrounding this guy, Lucian felt a hint of danger!
At this moment, Haoran’s calm voice echoed, “I didn’t expect to meet someone like you here.”
Sword Qi flashed through Haoran’s eyes as he continued, “If it was a different time, I may have enjoyed having a decent fight. But now I don’t have any time to waste.. So just die.”
Haoran took a step forward, and the world transformed!
In an instant, countless swords hung in the sky, turning the world around into a sea of swords!
The sight was breathtaking and terrifying as each sword gleamed with an ominous glow!
