After entering the soul origin of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, Mo Yu found himself in a vast and endless ocean.
The waves surged violently, and faintly, there seemed to be roars echoing across the sea—roars that carried a soul's essence.
Suspended mid-air above the ocean, Mo Yu gazed downward, his eyes filled with shock.
The light sphere had seemed small from the outside, yet it contained an entirely separate world. More astonishingly, this vast ocean was completely condensed from soul energy!
Even with Mo Yu's strong will, he couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment.
The fortune that Xiao Xuan had bestowed upon him and Xiao Yan was truly beyond imagination.
"Hu…"
Mo Yu exhaled deeply, gradually calming his mind. Without further hesitation, he began refining the soul light sphere completely.
Cross-legged in the air, his figure slowly descended, settling onto the ocean surface. His soul energy surged rapidly from the center of his brows, and with a low shout, it transformed into a massive, several-hundred-zhang-tall phantom, enveloping his body in a seated posture.
The Black Lotus Soul Thunder erupted from the enormous soul phantom, and before long, the entire phantom was shrouded in dark thunder, turning into a being of lightning. Black thunderbolts crackled and spread across the surrounding space.
"Rumble!"
The moment Mo Yu's soul phantom was engulfed by the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, the soul ocean beneath him roared to life.
A colossal vortex spanning thousands of meters formed below him. The boundless soul energy, as if forcefully drawn by an invisible force, surged upward into massive, hundred-zhang-tall soul pillars, relentlessly bombarding Mo Yu's enormous soul phantom.
"Screech!"
Though the soul energy in this place was vast and majestic, it was somewhat fragmented. After all, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb had absorbed the lingering souls of countless fallen powerhouses.
However, for Mo Yu—who possessed the Black Lotus Soul Thunder—this posed no trouble at all. The devouring power of the thunder made refining such energy an effortless process.
Across the endless sea, towering soul pillars continuously shot into the air like gigantic serpents, only to be absorbed by the enormous soul phantom seated between heaven and earth.
Such an efficient refining speed would have left countless people in awe. The once-calm ocean now raged with monstrous waves, rolling violently as deafening booms echoed across the vast expanse.
As Mo Yu devoured and refined soul energy at an astonishing rate, the pressure radiating from his soul grew increasingly terrifying. The immense soul power continued to surge, steadily drawing him closer to a legendary realm.
A full month had passed since Mo Yu and Xiao Yan entered the light spheres. Within the Heavenly Tomb, there were no signs of them breaking through, nor did the spheres show any strange fluctuations. Everything remained unchanged from a month ago.
Outside the shimmering light spheres, Xiao Xuan sat silently, his eyes closed, resembling a meditative monk.
Compared to a month ago, his body had become even more ethereal, his appearance growing increasingly aged. Anyone could see that he was truly reaching the end of his lifespan. Yet, he remained steadfast in his vigil.
Gazing at the two light spheres before him, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's elderly face. At that moment, his figure grew even more translucent.
"Two little ones... I don't have much time left."
The old man's quiet murmur echoed in the sky.
For Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, who were deep within the soul ocean, time felt as though it had slowed. A month in the outside world seemed like a whole year in this place.
The enormous soul phantom remained seated upon the ocean, thick mist shrouding the entire space.
Mo Yu's soul phantom was growing increasingly solid. Eventually, it transformed into a massive, tangible giant spanning several hundred zhang—essentially a scaled-up version of Mo Yu himself!
At the same time, in the other light sphere, Xiao Yan's soul phantom had also undergone drastic changes. His enormous soul shadow inhaled deeply, causing thick clouds of mist to swirl into his nostrils like twin dragons. His hair, resembling thousand-zhang waterfalls, cascaded downwards, while his robes fluttered wildly, sending terrifying waves rippling across the ocean's surface.
Faintly, an aura of absolute dominance emanated from both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's massive soul forms.
It was as though they had become the sovereigns of souls!
As the final day of the second month arrived, the elderly figure in the sky had nearly faded into complete transparency.
And yet, even in such a state, Xiao Xuan continued to wait, a deep obsession anchoring his dwindling existence to the world.
"...It seems I won't be able to hold on much longer."
Within the silent sky, Xiao Xuan's faint figure rippled slightly. A gentle smile appeared on his face, but his eyes carried a trace of regret.
"Xiao Yan… With you, the Xiao Clan is in good hands. And Mo Yu, little friend, I entrust the future of the Xiao Clan to you as well."
"Farewell… my two little ones."
Xiao Xuan's eyes slowly closed, and his already faint body became even more illusory.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Xuan was about to dissipate completely, the entire Heavenly Tomb trembled violently.
Two aura waves resembling the rulers of heaven and earth erupted, spreading outward at terrifying speed. Wherever these waves passed, all energy entities instinctively prostrated themselves, unable to resist.
Feeling these mighty fluctuations, Xiao Xuan's fading eyes finally showed a trace of relief.
"Descendant Xiao Yan, bids farewell to our ancestor!"
"Junior Mo Yu, pays respects to the senior!"
Under the gaze of countless shocked onlookers, two gigantic thousand-zhang-tall figures emerged in the sky.
One knelt on one knee toward Xiao Xuan.
The other clasped his hands in a respectful salute.
The two colossal figures seemed to stand at the pinnacle of the heavens and earth. Beneath them, all energy entities within the Heavenly Tomb trembled uncontrollably. The overwhelming pressure threatened to shatter them at any moment.
Above them, Xiao Xuan's figure finally dispersed completely. As his ancient eyes vanished, they were filled with deep contentment.
"Ancestor..." Xiao Yan called out softly, reluctant to part.
At that moment, within the void, an invisible and imperceptible light speck appeared before Xiao Yan.
This was Xiao Xuan's Life Imprint.
Only those who had stepped into the Di Realm Soul could perceive such an imprint. Otherwise, even if Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had reached the peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng , he wouldn't have been able to sense this mysterious existence.
The formless Life Imprint slowly ascended before silently merging into Xiao Yan's forehead.
Seeing Xiao Xuan's Life Imprint fall into Xiao Yan's forehead, Mo Yu, who was standing beside him, raised his eyebrows slightly. The fact that Xiao Xuan could be resurrected in the future was all thanks to this glimmer of hope left behind. Without this Life Imprint, Xiao Xuan would have truly dissipated from this world forever.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu let out a light breath, lowered his head, and glanced at the world of the Heavenly Tomb.
Although only two months had passed here, and even less than half a month had gone by in Central Plains, he had actually spent nearly two years in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb.
It took him two whole years to thoroughly refine the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb. Fortunately, the flow of time within the depths of the tomb was different. Otherwise, by the time he exited after two years, who knew what the outside world would have become.
"Di Realm Soul..."
Mo Yu lightly clenched his palm and gazed into the distance. A strange feeling rose in his heart, as if the entire Heavenly Tomb space was under his control.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had also sorted out his emotions. The two exchanged a glance, and as if they had a mutual understanding, they simultaneously thrust their palms at each other.
"Bang!"
Mo Yu and Xiao Yan extended their palms at the same time, and immediately, two surges of terrifying soul power collided. The entire Heavenly Tomb space trembled violently as if struck by a catastrophic earthquake.
The terrifying shockwaves of soul power swept in all directions. Wherever they passed, all soul bodies shivered in fear. Even a stone mountain tens of thousands of feet away exploded into powder without any warning...
The clash between two Di Realm Souls—the destructive power was simply world-shattering!
The difference between the Di Realm Soul and the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm Soul was like the difference between heaven and earth. The two were not even remotely comparable.
Only by truly experiencing the power of the Di Realm could one understand why the barrier was so insurmountable. Even if one spent their entire life, it was impossible to cross because the difference between the two was...
One was divine, and the other was mortal!
"It seems that Cousin Xiao Yan has also reached the Di Realm Soul. That is truly worthy of celebration." Sensing Xiao Yan's soul power, Mo Yu smiled and praised him.
After all, his own soul power had long since reached the Half-Step Di Realm. With the assistance of the vast soul power within the Heavenly Tomb, breaking through to the Di Realm had been almost effortless. On the other hand, for Xiao Yan, who was at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, reaching the Di Realm was far more difficult.
However, Xiao Yan was indeed the Child of Destiny. Absorbing two-thirds of the Soul Origin of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb had allowed him to reach the Di Realm Soul level as well.
"Cousin is too kind. It's all thanks to the aid of our ancestor." Xiao Yan shook his head. When he mentioned Xiao Xuan, a trace of nostalgia surfaced in his eyes.
"Didn't Senior Xiao Xuan leave behind a Life Imprint? When you and I reach the Dou Di level in the future, we might be able to use it to revive Senior Xiao Xuan. So, there is still hope.
For now, we should exit and deal with the matters concerning the Hun Clan first." Mo Yu stepped forward, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and comforted him.
"Mm, Cousin is right."
Thinking of the Hun Clan, Xiao Yan quickly suppressed his emotions. He then raised his hand and gently slashed the void in front of him. A spatial crack appeared.
Upon seeing this, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that Xiao Xuan had indeed treated Xiao Yan well, even leaving him control over the Heavenly Tomb's space.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan stepped into the spatial crack together.
As the space squirmed, they disappeared under the watchful gazes of countless souls.
...
Gu Realm.
High above a vast mountain range, several figures stood in the air, their eyes slightly furrowed as they gazed at the space ahead, which was rippling like water.
"Patriach Gu Yuan, what's going on?" Lei Ying looked at Gu Yuan beside him in surprise.
"Half a month has passed. If Mo Yu and Xiao Yan don't return soon, the Hun Clan might actually make a move against his father." Yan Jin spoke from the side.
"The Heavenly Tomb has already closed. The spatial passage here is also completely sealed. Earlier, I tried to open it, but I was repelled by a force. That feeling… it was as if the Heavenly Tomb now had a master." Gu Yuan frowned deeply.
With this in mind, Gu Yuan changed his hand seals, and the energy of heaven and earth surged, swiftly forming a giant energy palm spanning a thousand feet in the sky. It then fiercely grabbed at the rippling space.
The energy palm was incredibly fast, appearing above the space in a flash. However, just as it was about to strike, the rippling space suddenly intensified.
Immediately afterward, a wave of energy spread out from within, colliding heavily with the giant palm, dissipating Gu Yuan's attack.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Gu Yuan's strength was unparalleled—he was one of the strongest beings in the world. Even Lei Ying and Yan Jin had to go all out to withstand his attacks. Yet, a mere wave of energy had neutralized his strike?
"This… is soul power? How is that possible?"
Recovering from their shock, Lei Ying and Yan Jin exclaimed in disbelief. Neutralizing Gu Yuan's attack with just soul power—what kind of terrifying soul strength was that?
"Something's changed. Form a formation!"
Not far behind Gu Yuan, the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan also had serious expressions. With a low shout, numerous experts from the Gu Clan emerged from the surrounding mountains, their Dou Qi surging as they quickly assembled into formation.
"We don't know which senior is present, but this is the Gu Clan's territory. We are merely here to retrieve our people and have no other intentions!" Gu Dao spoke solemnly after the formation was complete.
Just as Gu Dao's voice fell, the rippling space slowly revealed a spatial passage. Under the tense gaze of the Gu Clan experts, two figures slowly stepped out.
"Hehe, if you're just here to pick someone up, isn't this battle formation a bit too much?"
The two figures stepped out of the spatial passage, and at a glance, they saw the Gu Clan's heavily armed experts filling the mountains. The duo exchanged glances and chuckled.
"Mo Yu… and Xiao Yan?!"
Seeing the two figures emerging from the passage, everyone was momentarily stunned.
"A senior had clashed with the Patriach earlier. We were just…" Gu Dao heaved a sigh of relief, waving his hand to signal the others to relax. He smiled at Mo Yu and Xiao Yan.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he noticed that Gu Yuan's expression was suddenly filled with shock. Gu Dao's words came to an abrupt halt.
"Wait a minute… Don't tell me the ones who struck earlier were you two?" Gu Yuan stared intently at Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, his heart surging with waves of astonishment.
