Qin Shi's Divine Sense roamed within his sea of consciousness. After a long time, his black eyes suddenly opened. His palm pierced out like a sharp sword. It was clenched into a fist in the empty air. Immediately, one could hear the sound of wind spreading out from his palm.
Qin Shi spread his hand and saw a tiny ball of light between his slender fingers. The ball of light emitted a faint golden glow. The power contained in it was exactly the same as the soul that Qin Shi had sensed from Jade In The Book.
"This is it!"
With an excited expression, Qin Shi started to refine the ball of light in his hand according to Jade In The Book's instructions.
Buzz!
The ball of light was absorbed into his Divine Sense and an invisible impact poured into his mind. In an instant, Qin Shi felt like he was in a trance.
"Heh, pretty tenacious."
With a shout, Qin Shi concentrated and controlled his Divine Sense to capture the ball of light. Then, he divided it into dozens of pieces and distributed them evenly in his Divine Sense.
Soon, the ball of light stopped resisting. Qin Shi, who thought that it was about to end, suddenly felt his sea of consciousness shake violently.
"What's going on?"
He suddenly raised his head and his Divine Sense couldn't help but tremble. He saw that above his sea of consciousness, there was a rolling black cloud opposite the ancient formation of the Mysterious Palace. What flashed in the black cloud was not lightning, but a kind of ghost-like pitch-black object shuttling around.
Staring at the thunderclouds, Qin Shi felt a chill in his heart. Within the black clouds, he felt an untouchable and frightening energy. This energy directly came into contact with his soul, as if it wanted to tear his soul into two halves, whistling unceasingly.
A violent storm was about to break out.
"This, this should be the Soul Tribulation that Sister Yu mentioned before, right?"
A clear trace of fear flashed across Qin Shi's usually calm and tranquil eyes. Qin Shi's Divine Sense moved slightly, his face cold and indifferent.
Success or failure depended on this move. As long as he could resist this attack, he could successfully become a One Soul Talisman Demonic Master. On the other hand, if he couldn't resist it, his sea of consciousness would suffer great damage.
"Fortune is found in danger. Let's go all out against this soul tribulation!"
Gritting his teeth, Qin Shi stomped his feet and spread his arms wide. He manipulated all the mental energy in his sea of consciousness, gathering it at the center of the thundercloud in an attempt to resist.
Rumble!
At this moment, the thunderclouds could no longer bear the weight of the ghosts shuttling back and forth within them. With a deafening boom, they were torn apart into pieces of fog.
When the fog scattered, the thousands of ghosts were like an overturned underworld. They bared their ferocious fangs and charged at Qin Shi. Suddenly, Qin Shi felt horrified. He quickly controlled his Mental Energy to form a barrier in front of him, resisting with all his might.
Buzz!
Along with the attack of the ghosts, black flames actually rose from the barrier. The barrier turned into a faint mist and suddenly dissipated.
Qin Shi's heart sank, and he said in a panic, "So scary, it's actually burning my spiritual energy?"
In less than half an incense stick's time, the black flames became even more ferocious. His sea of consciousness felt like it was being sucked dry, causing Qin Shi's spiritual will to weaken. He clenched his fists in panic.
Without the protection of the barrier, the black flames were like nimble water snakes, entangling Qin Shi's spiritual will. Immediately, the pain of being burned by the raging flames filled his body. Qin Shi felt like his soul was being stripped from his body. That kind of pain was hundreds of times more exaggerated than cultivating the Xuantian Scripture. It was as if he had been granted an immortal body and then suffered the eighteen tortures of hell. The excruciating pain caused his spiritual will to fall into a trance and his foundation to shake.
His sea of consciousness, which spanned five kilometers, trembled continuously as if it was in danger of collapsing at any moment. If it wasn't for the final conviction in his heart, Qin Shi would have already fainted.
"I can't lose, I must endure it!"
"If I can't even endure this little bit of suffering, then what's the point of taking revenge? What's the point of protecting? What's the point of shielding Xue Xin from the wind and rain?"
"Arghhhhh!!!"
With a loud roar, Qin Shi's spiritual will, which was about to collapse, suddenly became more resolute. He endured the tearing of thousands of ghosts and gritted his teeth to endure it.
"Buzz!"
It was unknown whether it was affected by Qin Shi's firm willpower or because of other reasons, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation, which was constantly rotating in his sea of consciousness, suddenly summoned a golden light ball. With a swoosh, the spiritual body scuttled into the back of Qin Shi's spiritual will. Suddenly, a blinding golden light burst out from his body and enveloped the sea of consciousness that spanned five kilometers.
"Roar!"
The dazzling golden light was like thousands of swords returning to their origin, crazily piercing the thousands of ghosts. Once a ghost was pierced by the golden light, it would definitely let out a horrifying roar. Then, the ferocious roar would immediately disappear due to the backlash and fade bit by bit.
At the resting area of the Xuan Palace's disciples.
With a bang, tens of thousands of dark golden lights suddenly surged out from the room that Qin Shi was in. Wherever the light swept past, holes that were visible to the naked eye would be formed. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding walls were like sieves made of fishing nets.
The violent shaking attracted countless Xuan Palace's disciples. Looking at the big and small holes on the stone wall, they were dumbfounded. "What is Shi Qin doing?
How can he produce such a powerful force? "
"That's right. The walls of the Cultivation Stone Chamber are made of melted Millennium Darksteel and infused with Spiritual Stones. I heard that even the Elders of the Three Pure Ones can't easily cause any damage to them. How could he break through the stone chamber?"
"So terrifying …"
While discussing in a panic, Yun Yu and a few other girls rubbed their jade-like hands and stared at the holes in the stone room. They felt worried for Qin Shi.
Inside the stone room, Jade In The Book was hugging her snow-white dress. A triangular barrier was formed in front of her. The barrier was flickering with a faint soul force, which was barely able to resist the dark golden light.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety. She stared at Qin Shi who was sitting on the lotus seat. The latter's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His whole body was bursting with dark golden sword light, which was mixed with a strange force.
Jade In The Book frowned. She could sense that the force was the soul force. She bit her lips and prayed, "Shi Tou, do your best. As long as you can survive the Soul Tribulation, you can become a Soul Incantation Talisman Master!"
However, it seemed that her prayer didn't work. Qin Shi's skin suddenly became indifferent. The dark golden light tightly wrapped around him and began to nibble away at the power in Qin Shi's body.
A trace of worry flashed across Qin Shi's face. She clenched her fists and said inwardly, "It seems that I was too hasty. Am I going to fail in the end?"
"Phew …" Jade In The Book sighed. She knew Qin Shi very well. If he failed to break through this time, it would be a big blow to him. So, a resolute look flashed across her beautiful eyes, "It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. I won't allow you to get hurt again when we return to the northern region. If you succeed, I will stand behind you. If you fail, I will kill Luan Muhua."
Bang!
Jade In The Book didn't have the time to think. She was startled. A force that was far stronger than the dark golden light suddenly burst out from between Qin Shi's eyebrows. That force was very strange. It looked like a blazing fire. It suddenly dispersed the dark golden light around Qin Shi's body. Qin Shi's weary body recovered.
"Eh?
Is this soul energy even purer than before? "
Looking at the flickering mark between Qin Shi's eyebrows, Jade In The Book's beautiful eyes showed surprise. She had never seen such a situation before. Just now, the dark golden light had wrapped around Qin Shi. It was clear that he had failed to break through and was about to be devoured by the Soul Tribulation. But it had been resolved by this sudden accident?
Boom!
While puzzled, Qin Shi's body burst out a terrifying force. The force dispersed like a torrential flood. Even the Soul Boundary formed by Jade In The Book couldn't withstand a single blow and shattered.
In a panic, Jade In The Book hurriedly scuttled back into the Burning Book. Only then did she barely escape this disaster.
The force rolled up the calm surface of the sea, forming rolling ripples. When it finally calmed down, Qin Shi's eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened wide. His eyes were not pitch-black, but full of enchanting gold.
The golden light remained in the depths of his eyes for a long time. Then, it was gradually absorbed by Qin Shi's sea of consciousness. Immediately, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, revealing an overjoyed expression.
"Shi Tou, did you succeed?"
Looking at Qin Shi's strange behavior, Jade In The Book floated out again. She stood in front of Qin Shi and asked in a gratified manner.
Exchanging glances with Jade in the Book, Qin Shi wasn't in a hurry to give a reply. Instead, he first transferred his energy into his sea of consciousness. At this moment, his sea of consciousness had undergone an earth-shattering change. It was no longer boundless and empty like before. Instead, it was enveloped by a strange purple-gold blazing flame. Its range had even increased from a mere five thousand meters to an endless ninety thousand meters. Right above the ninety thousand meter wide sea of consciousness, a translucent purple-gold palace floated in the air. The palace had a deep 'soul' character carved on it.
With a wave of one hand, the purple gold palace emerged from his body. Qin Shi responded to Jade In The Book with a practical action, "With this, it should be considered a success, right?"
Staring at the purple gold palace for a moment, Jade In The Book said in surprise, "This is … the Soul Palace exclusive to Soul Incantation Charm Magician?"
"Soul Palace?"
"Yes, the Celestial Palace and the Mysterious Soul Palace are Ninth-layer Heavenly Realm. They are exclusive to the Nine Soul Charm Magician. The two are different but achieve the same result. The difference is that the former is the elemental power refined from spiritual power, while the latter is the soul power refined from spiritual power!" Jade In The Book explained happily.
Nodding his head in realization, Qin Shi remembered this name. Then, he suddenly remembered Qin Xue Xin's words. He integrated the Soul Palace in his palm into his body. The next moment, a hard purple gold armor grew on his skin, making him look like the legendary invincible God of War.
"It works!"
With an excited laugh, Qin Shi, who was wearing the purple-gold armor, could feel a Soul Power that far surpassed normal Mental Energy covering every inch of his skin. This feeling was ten times stronger than before. Because of this, his heart was filled with joy. His black eyes flashed, "With the Soul Power of the Mysterious Soul Palace, even if I meet the Celestial Palace again, I will not be helpless. This time, I will definitely be able to kill Luan Muhua!"
"Indeed, it seems that even the heavens want to help you seek revenge."
Rubbing her beautiful eyes, Jade In The Book looked at the young man in front of her and laughed happily. She knew that the end of the Burning Sky Sect was not far away.
In addition to his excitement, Qin Shi's black eyes flashed with blood qi and ruthlessness. A greedy killing intent pierced through the sky toward the distant north.
