CHAPTER 921: CHAPTER 89: TWELVE BEAST SWORD SOUL – FORM INTENT IN THE DARK GOD DOMAIN

Streams of divine medicine elixir continuously spilled out, entering Zhou Yan’s divine body, and then permeating into his divine soul.

Zhou Yan felt that, under the mysterious power of the soul spring, his soul, despite being injured, was gradually recovering.

Although this recovery felt like stitching a soul with needle and thread, a pain only Zhou Yan could comprehend, it was undoubtedly a form of progress.

At the same time, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, while also diverting his attention to use powerful divine energy to derive the golden leaf of the Hidden God Fragment, a feat bordering on the insane.

This was something no cultivator could accomplish, yet Zhou Yan gradually ignored the pain, multitasking, and managed to handle it.

The injuries to Zhou Yan’s soul were actually recovering under such conditions, gradually improving from seventy percent, to seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three...

Reaching up to eighty percent, ninety percent, even ninety-five percent, and it still didn’t stop.

However, the medicinal effects began to taper off, and the intensity of the Emperor Fire gradually diminished.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan finally comprehended the major heart law rules within the Hidden God Fragment, realizing the miraculous application of controlling thunder divine soul, gradually grasping the divine soul thunderbolt dao.

Combining the techniques of soul-controlling sword body and thunderflame sword body, Zhou Yan sensed that this controlling thunder divine soul killing path could, through the divine soul domain, destroy other cultivators’ divine souls, using void divine soul thunder to cleave cultivators’ souls!

It was simply a terrifying attack dao of the divine soul, an independent dao. Zhou Yan thought that perhaps it was an immortal level cultivation technique.

This realization, this insight, truly made Zhou Yan feel his mind shaken and deeply shocked.

Zhou Yan vaguely attempted to sacrifice refining the controlling thunder divine soul; he only felt his soul sea roar, monstrous waves surging, giving rise to a scene of sun, moon, and star river on the ocean, erupting infinite and terrifying thunder, like a world-ending storm.

The scene was such that even Xuanyuan Ancestor was startled, utterly shaken, almost unable to speak.

"Boom rumble—"

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s soul body suddenly recovered to ninety-nine percent, then further to perfection; the soul loss was unexpectedly completely restored under these conditions.

Though Zhou Yan was excited, the recovery was not the end; enormous amounts of energy suddenly appeared, directly flooding into Zhou Yan’s body, causing his divine body to synchronize with the soul sea, unleashing a sound of thunderous tsunami.

Wave after wave of bone resonance, the soul sea surged, generating powerful chi energy, deriving an endless anomaly of the shape-meaning dark god domain, almost shattering the pill furnace.

"Heavens! This is simply shocking, could it be that it has nurtured the Wanling Holy Soul Pill? Otherwise, how could such domain rules emerge? It seems after consuming this elixir, I must be able to comprehend a wisp of immortal divinity!"

Zhao Yi showed an expression of extreme excitement, about to laugh and cry; after so many years, he felt all his hardships were worth it, every tragic story of struggling and seizing divine medicine was worth it!

Zhou Yan sensed Zhao Yi’s expression, feeling an indescribable mix of humor and incredulity; nevertheless, with Zhao Yi acting so, Zhou Yan was somewhat relieved.

Once he emerged from the furnace, he planned to let this old scoundrel experience what true despair and all hope lost feel like!

Zhou Yan prepared to attack, even ready to use the killing spirit divine dao to instantly stun Zhao Yi; however, Zhao Yi, in his excitement, instead stoked the Emperor Fire further with more intense flames for alchemy.

Zhou Yan felt utterly speechless in his heart, thinking that even if there was a great pill initially, this approach was surely a foolish move sure to ruin the elixir! With such lousy skills, how could this person be learning alchemy?

Zhou Yan wished he could spit on Zhao Yi’s face; this person was simply too eccentric and too carefree, Zhou Yan wondered how this person even managed to reach the position of Elder Yao.

Zhou Yan had prepared for a long time, yet Zhao Yi stubbornly did not open the furnace to retrieve the elixir, instead becoming exceedingly agitated, continuously exclaiming over his remarkable fortune and profound blessings for refining an unprecedented peerless divine pill.

As Zhao Yi marveled over this protracted process, Zhou Yan felt the medicine efficacy had further seeped into his body and begun taking effect; perhaps due to the bizarre healing of his soul loss, Zhou Yan was reaching a state of perfection, necessitating him truly advance in cultivating the next layer of dragon soul form shape-meaning dark god domain.

This was already an uncontrollable situation.

Zhou Yan had to abandon his murderous intent, starting to derive the true form of the second shape of shape-meaning—tiger form shape-meaning dark god domain.

The massive White Tiger derived a majestic beast king form aura, its white fur akin to silk, the entire domain resembling the form of a gigantic divine beast White Tiger.

Because he once comprehended the Xingyi Tiger Form Dark God Domain in the form of a Soul Slash, this Xingyi Tiger Form presented just a White Tiger phantom, then immediately began to approach Perfection.

This process was indeed very fast.

And as this White Tiger phantom suddenly appeared, manifesting an anomaly above the Pill Furnace, Zhao Yi unexpectedly ’plopped’ and knelt down, trembling with excitement: "Indeed, my spirit is blessed, instinctively driving the Emperor Fire with full power, which manifested the Emperor Beast Soul Totem! The ancient scriptures say this is an ancient anomaly, the pills produced are bound to possess the divinity of the Wanling Race, and might even give rise to a Divine Soul Fetus. If its structure could be understood, it might even uncover the aura and Secret Technique of the Immortal Soul Embryo!

The heavens have truly not treated me poorly!"

Zhou Yan’s mind was divided, enduring extreme pain from body refinement, and also bearing the insight and transformation of such Domain Rules of the Divine Soul, making him extremely strained, experiencing both pain and joy.

And Zhao Yi’s words like ’the heavens have not treated me poorly’ almost made Zhou Yan spit blood.

This person’s level of self-righteousness is outrageously strong, and Zhou Yan discovered for the first time that there exists such a person in this world.

Is this an overconfidence in his alchemy abilities, or an overconfidence in various changes of this world?

Zhou Yan cannot judge, but he knows Zhao Yi is definitely not cheating by deception, so Zhou Yan simply let go and comprehended the Dark God Domain of Xingyi.

After the White Tiger Xingyi Dark God Domain, came the Thunderhawk Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Fierce Horse Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Divine Monkey Xingyi Dark God Domain, the True Turtle Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Spirit Chicken Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Xuan Snake Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Blast Bear Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Immortal Xingyi Dark God Domain, the Qi Yan Xingyi Dark God Domain, and the Golden Kite Xingyi Dark God Domain!

After these twelve Xingyi War Beast Sword Souls were finally cultivated into their corresponding Xingyi Dark God Domains, Zhou Yan only felt that his Divine Soul had a feeling of once again condensing the Twelve Souls Sword. If condensed together to become one, merging with the main body, Zhou Yan does not know if it could be considered a Soul Energy, but he judges that even if it’s not a Soul Energy, his talent would likely become very hard to see.

Not only that, after completing the understanding of the Twelve Xingyi Dark God Domains, Zhou Yan truly felt the true Great Perfection of the Xingyi Dark God Domains. Only now was this domain comprehended, the difficulty was indeed very high, but precisely because it was high, with full comprehension, there were no restraints for Zhou Yan in employing the Xingyi War Beast Sword Soul, various Xingyi transformations were more at will, the Seventy-Two Heavenly Gang Transformation Method was also directly comprehended, fully reaching an extreme level.

So much so that now, even with a casual glance or sensing others or things, Zhou Yan can mimic with a single thought.

Almost indistinguishable from a ’clone’!

Even the realm and corresponding Divine Soul aura can be made indistinguishable, only for realms higher than Zhou Yan, he can only mimic the realm without exerting the corresponding realm power, which is the greatest limitation, but it is the biggest feature of the Xingyi God Form being combined.

Zhou Yan completed the transformation of the Twelve Xingyi Forms, which could be said to be truly getting started in this Dark God Domain, this start was indeed extremely difficult, if not for the refining of the Emperor Fire Yin Qi and the accumulated resources of a Venerable’s lifelong divine medicine, Zhou Yan might have needed to enter the Soul Refining Demon Cave to obtain the Life Soul Spring to progress further.

Now, however, he directly recovered from Soul Loss, completing this transformation in advance, which provided great convenience for subsequent cultivation.

Zhou Yan instead felt gratitude towards Zhao Yi and Zhao Wu, thinking that if these people helped him so much, he would be merciful when killing Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun, granting them a swift end.

Zhou Yan felt that he was still very merciful.

Zhou Yan focused on cultivation, comprehending the Tao under such circumstances, with his mental state completely settling down.

The consumption of Soul Energy left by the Tai Chu Yin Spirit in the Soul Sea and some Soul Energy stored from dead cultivators was enormous; by this time, it had consumed nearly seventy percent.

However, that golden leaf merely unlocked less than one percent of its range, and the ’Thunder-controlling Divine Soul’ within, which Zhou Yan thought was fully unlocked, he realized after a session of cultivation that it only unlocked the First Layer, and not completely.

But after continuously infusing Tai Chu Yin Qi to refine divine energy, this energy activated the golden leaf, and the second part of the Thunder-controlling Divine Soul gradually entered Zhou Yan’s sensing.

The second part introduces the Divine Soul Thunder Control, while the first part is the Condensing Method of the Thunder-controlling Divine Soul, which one would only know after unlocking the second part.

Such things, if blindly explored, could become a huge pitfall, hard to climb out once fallen.

After cultivating the second part, Zhou Yan drew a cold breath, gaining more caution in his heart.

Although practicing such a cultivation technique, Zhou Yan also kept a sliver of consciousness to remain alert and vigilant at all times.

After finishing the practice of Thunder-controlling Divine Soul and Divine Soul Thunder Control, all the stored Soul Power of Zhou Yan was depleted, but fortunately, the Emperor Fire Yin Qi provided massive energy, allowing Zhou Yan to improve by absorbing this energy to refine, maintaining balance.

And Zhao Yi, at this moment, was still intermittently dancing gleefully, squinting as if his face was blooming, filled with joy.
