Chapter 691: Chapter 690: Terrifying Divine Soul

‘What will my fifth Talent Ability be?’

As a massive amount of Flame Power flooded into Yang Xiao’s body, continuously merging with his Heaven and Earth Origin Flame, his expression grew increasingly expectant.

Especially when he saw it.

So much power—a full ninety percent of a Supreme Divine King’s strength—had been devoured by his Heaven and Earth Origin Flame without any sign of it leveling up.

Yang Xiao’s mood improved dramatically.

‘Once it reaches the Spirit Fire level, the more energy it absorbs, the greater the chance of awakening a powerful Talent Ability. Although this is just the final resting place of a Tier Ten Divine King, the quality and quantity of this energy are likely far greater than the Ice Soul Profound Pearl I absorbed before.’

‘Perhaps my fifth ability will be even more powerful than Cold Flame.’

Yang Xiao thought to himself.

An unusual feeling toward this Flame Domain Divine King welled up inside him.

Come to think of it…

This guy…

He was a real saint.

Not only did he use his own consciousness to temper Yang Xiao, helping him figure out how to condense the Divine Aspect best suited for him…

…he even gave him everything he had.

What a good person.

A truly great person.

‘It’s great to meet such a wonderful person right before entering the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm.’

Yang Xiao smiled faintly as he felt more and more Flame Power gathering inside him.

This Flame Power had been cultivated by the Flame Domain Divine King using his Origin Divine Fire, making it the most compatible type of power for Yang Xiao.

If Yang Xiao wanted to…

…he could even utilize one hundred percent of it, converting it into his own energy to raise his cultivation.

In that case, even though the Blue Flame Realm was known for requiring the most energy to advance of any realm, after absorbing all the Flame Power here, Yang Xiao would have a very high chance of reaching the Peak of the Blue Flame Realm Third Revolution.

That’s right.

The Blue Flame Realm Third Revolution, a level equivalent to the Peak of Demigod Third Level.

From this, one could also see…

…the fact that the power of a Tier Ten Ultimate Divine King—comparable to an ordinary Tier One Emperor—could only raise him to the Peak of the Blue Flame Realm Third Revolution was a testament to the terrifying amount of energy Yang Xiao required in the Blue Flame Realm.

Therefore, Yang Xiao felt it was better to use this massive amount of energy to nurture his fifth Talent Ability rather than spending it to advance his cultivation prematurely.

In comparison…

…a good Talent Ability was definitely better than a two or even three-tier increase in strength.

And in truth, reaching the Peak of the Blue Flame Realm Third Revolution would only increase Yang Xiao’s combat power by two tiers. Besides, he could gain those two tiers far more thoroughly within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm.

Naturally, Yang Xiao wasn’t about to do something so foolish.

But just as his mind was racing with anticipation for his fifth Talent Ability…

…the Thousand Mechanism Eye, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly twitched.

Almost instinctively, Yang Xiao swept his Spiritual Power inside it.

Instantly…

…he saw seven figures surrounding him.

Each figure exuded a terrifying Evil Qi, allowing Yang Xiao to instantly recognize the aura of the Seven Evils, Nangong Xinghui’s subordinates.

This made…

…his expression change.

‘I can’t believe that bastard still dares to send people to kill me. And the ones he sent are so similar to the last one! It looks like he’s truly determined to see me dead!’

Yang Xiao sneered.

However, before the sneer could fully form on his face…

…the seven figures he had seen through his Thousand Mechanism Eye…

…had already appeared before him.

At the same time…

…in the vision from the Thousand Mechanism Eye…

…the image of Nangong Xinghui appeared.

This made Yang Xiao instantly understand.

It wasn’t just these seven people who had come this time, but Nangong Xinghui as well, though his aura had changed somewhat.

But in front of Yang Xiao, his appearance hadn’t changed one bit.

As for the aura…

…Yang Xiao knew that although it was very different, his own third Talent Ability was to change his aura.

So he was well aware…

…that there were probably other ways in this world to alter a person’s aura.

‘But does he really think this is enough to kill me?’

Yang Xiao’s expression turned cold.

And at that moment…

…the Seven Evils made their move.

Without any words or hesitation.

They directly attacked Yang Xiao, who was still absorbing the surrounding Flame Power.

Moreover…

…they attacked with their full strength.

They went straight for the kill.

Utterly ruthless.

At that moment, Yang Xiao tried to get up but found he couldn’t move. This was because his body’s fifth Talent Ability was beginning to brew within him.

It seemed to be on the verge of taking form.

At the same time…

…Yang Xiao’s speed of absorbing the external Flame Power increased again, by more than tenfold.

The power that would have originally taken several tens of minutes to absorb completely could now be finished in less than five.

But now…

‘Forget five minutes, even five seconds! If I don’t move, these guys will kill me. What should I do? Wait… with my current Divine Soul Power, multitasking is nothing. At most, it will only affect the speed at which I absorb the external power. What the hell am I afraid of?!’

A thought flashed through Yang Xiao’s mind.

In an instant, he activated the Divine General Talisman.

As soon as the Divine General Talisman activated, the sensation of being restricted—as if all his power was brewing and rendering him immobile—vanished immediately.

He raised his hand.

A pitch-black Divine Sword, etched with countless dark-red patterns, appeared in his palm.

Without hesitation…

…he unleashed his current, most powerful Sword Technique.

Celestial Moon.

The opening stance.

And just at this moment…

…the seven members of the Seven Evils, who seemed to have taken positions for an Array, simultaneously struck out at Yang Xiao with their palms from different directions.

Instantly, seven different types of Evil Qi, all containing Star Power but with different attributes…

…rushed murderously toward Yang Xiao.

They seemed to transform into seven terrifying Star Evil Dragons.

They lunged for Yang Xiao’s body, intent on devouring his flesh and blood.

But to the surprise of the Seven Evils…

…their Evil Dragons, which contained at least eighty percent of their Star Evil Qi, suddenly went out of control when they were about three meters away from Yang Xiao.

This combined power, which was almost enough to injure a Tier One God King…

…at this moment…

…actually began to surge toward the sword in Yang Xiao’s hand.

It was as if…

…it was being pulled away by a terrifying Devouring Power.

The Seven Evils could only stare, dumbfounded.

As for Yang Xiao…

…he couldn’t help but lightly wipe his forehead.

…as if to wipe away beads of sweat.

‘Just as I thought. Although my Divine Soul hasn’t undergone a qualitative change, after integrating the Essence Blood of a Top-tier Divine King and half of Elder Long’s, its raw power has become immense. Originally, I would have had to defeat these Evil Dragons first before I could absorb their power and turn it into my own Sword Qi. But now, just with this technique itself and my Divine Soul Power, I can completely wrest control of these Divine Venerable Level attacks from them!’

Yang Xiao’s eyes instantly lit up.

His heart settled completely.

Even the Thousand Mechanism Eye inside him seemed to sense it and stopped twitching.

Yang Xiao knew.

Thanks to his Divine Soul Power, the crisis had passed.

‘Next, I’ll show these guys the consequences of pissing me off. And as for that bastard Nangong Xinghui… even if he might be my uncle, since he’s trying every trick in the book to kill me, then he’s going to die too!’

With a low roar…

…endless killing intent flashed in Yang Xiao’s eyes.

That bastard must die!
