Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Nihility Purifying Fire
"Thinking of killing me? You’re still too green!"
Despite being petrified with fear, Murong Qingshan clenched his teeth fiercely, a ruthless glint in his eyes, as his figure dashed explosively toward Ling Chen.
Even if he couldn’t shake off the Silver Lotus, he wouldn’t make it easy for Ling Chen.
"Retreat!"
Ling Chen made his decision immediately.
How could he fail to see Murong Qingshan’s intentions?
Yet the Silver Lotus was now completely out of his control.
"Flying Ascendancy!"
Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power erupted as he executed a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Technique, evading to a distant location.
With the enhancement of his Divine Soul, this fusion of Spiritual Power was now fully on par with an eightfold middle-phase World Realm cultivator.
Plus, having activated the Undying Star Body, his speed was terrifying as well.
Though not as fast as Murong Qingshan, it would be impossible for Murong Qingshan to catch up with him in a short time.
"What incredible speed!"
Murong Qingshan’s face changed slightly.
Ling Chen was only at six stars middle-phase, while he himself was at eight stars late-phase!
Using the same mid-grade Body Technique Emperor Spirit Technique, Ling Chen’s speed was barely slower than his.
How could he not be shocked?
Dozens of breaths passed; Murong Qingshan was getting closer and closer to Ling Chen.
But the Silver Lotus had already descended upon him.
"Boom!"
Murong Qingshan exerted all his Spiritual Power to form a seven-inch thick Protective Spiritual Power.
At the same time, he controlled his top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon to shield himself in front.
Now, catching up to Ling Chen was an impossibility.
His only option was to confront the attack of the Silver Lotus.
"Clang!"
A clear, metallic sound rang out as the Silver Lotus smashed into Murong Qingshan’s Longsword.
"Crack!"
Upon contact, the power of the Silver Lotus erupted.
The Longsword shattered inch by inch.
The Silver Lotus impacted directly upon Murong Qingshan’s Protective Spiritual Power.
"Bang!"
Even bolstered by World Power and sixfold Sword Intent, the Protective Spiritual Power couldn’t withstand the unrivaled Silver Lotus and burst apart.
"No!"
Murong Qingshan’s eyes split with fury.
However, carrying fearsome power, the Silver Lotus struck Murong Qingshan’s forehead and exploded on the spot.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering, soul-stirring boom erupted, and the very world trembled.
Murong Qingshan’s head shattered like a watermelon.
Even his Divine Soul was annihilated in that blow.
As a cloud of blood mist exploded, Murong Qingshan’s headless corpse plummeted below.
"How is this possible?"
At this moment, everyone from the Dutong Mansion stood there petrified, as if turned to stone.
A mighty Commander, killed by Ling Chen?
From start to finish, Ling Chen only used a Silver Sphere that blossomed into a Silver Lotus?
"Whoosh!"
Ling Chen moved swiftly, appearing right before Murong Qingshan’s headless corpse.
With a single thought, he collected the corpse into his inner world realm.
This was an eight stars emperor, and the Commander of Netherworld at that!
Previously, with a casual flick of his hand, he brought out five hundred premium Spirit Crystals; one could only imagine how staggering his wealth was!
Ling Chen certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
It wasn’t until now that the people awoke from their shock, staring at Ling Chen with disbelief.
Ling Chen’s gaze swept over them all as he coldly said, "Does anyone seek vengeance for your Commander?"
With those words, the crowd stepped back, their eyes wide with horror.
A commander of the eight stars emperor level slain by Ling Chen?
How dare they contend with Ling Chen?
"Good, if there’s no one."
Ling Chen nodded: "If anyone wishes to seek vengeance in the future, I await you at any time!"
After speaking, Ling Chen transformed into a streak of light and departed.
These people did not attack him, so he did not pursue a massacre!
The death of the Commander will surely reach the ears of Lord Governor soon.
There’s a good chance someone will come to investigate this matter!
Therefore, he must try his best to enhance his strength.
He did not entangle himself with these people.
...
Netherworld, within a cave on a mountain peak.
Ling Chen sat cross-legged.
In his hand was a transparent flame.
Wherever the flame burned, the air trembled faintly.
It was the Nihility Purifying Fire!
With a thought from Ling Chen, a Divine Soul figurine appeared out of thin air.
Having exterminated the Zhao Family, Ling Chen possessed twelve Divine Souls at the late Emperor Realm.
This was the Divine Soul of an Elder from the Zhao Family.
The Divine Soul figurine was released by Ling Chen, but it dared not escape.
"Young Master Ling, do you have any more questions?"
The Divine Soul figurine trembled incessantly.
"No more."
Ling Chen smiled faintly, and the Nihility Purifying Fire in his right hand moved over.
"Ah!"
The Divine Soul figurine let out a shrill scream, as if a wisp of blue smoke was rising.
The Divine Soul figurine visibly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Young Master Ling, I am an Alchemist, I can help you with Alchemy..."
Before it could finish speaking, the Divine Soul figurine had its consciousness wiped clean, leaving only pure Soul Energy.
"Hmm!"
Feeling that pure Soul Energy, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and a look of extreme pleasure emerged on his face.
Ling Chen placed the Soul Energy at the Heavenly Spirit area.
Activating the Sunlight Holy Body, the Soul Energy was directly absorbed into the Sea of Consciousness, enriching his Divine Soul.
A full two hours passed before the Soul Energy was completely refined.
After all, this was the Divine Soul of a Divine Thought Master at the late Emperor Realm.
Ling Chen was only at the early Emperor Realm, so the effect was extremely significant.
Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Cultivation improved by a lot.
Next, Ling Chen purified the remaining eleven Divine Souls with the Nihility Purifying Fire and absorbed the incredibly pure Soul Energy.
"Boom!"
After the twelve Soul Energies were completely absorbed, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul shook and evolved once more.
"Mid Emperor Realm!"
Ling Chen’s eyes opened, and a trace of joy reflected in his pupils.
Enhancing the Divine Soul was the fastest way he could think of to increase his strength!
Although he was only at the mid Emperor Realm, with the power of the Sunlight Holy Body, his Divine Soul’s power could rival that of a typical late Emperor Realm!
Furthermore, combining Divine Soul Telekinesis and the scorching power of Red Lotus Karma Fire.
With just Divine Soul Telekinesis, Ling Chen could threaten a true monarch whose Cultivation reached the sevenfold of the World Realm!
If he were to face Lan Hongming now, Ling Chen estimated that he wouldn’t even need to use Spiritual Power; relying solely on Divine Soul Telekinesis, he could defeat Lan Hongming!
"Continue!"
A day passed, and there was no news from Ling Chen’s messenger command.
This time, Ling Chen took out a top-grade Spirit Crystal and began Cultivating.
He did not explore the world within Murong Qingshan’s body.
Now, enhancing strength was the most important thing.
The five hundred top-grade Spirit Crystals were enough for Ling Chen to Cultivate for a while.
During the day, it was manageable; Ling Chen directly activated the Night Moon Saint Body to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the top-grade Spirit Crystals into his body for refinement.
But at night, there was a bit of a problem.
With no choice, Ling Chen could only shatter the top-grade Spirit Crystals and then directly swallow the dispersing Spiritual Energy.
Although this was somewhat wasteful, it couldn’t be helped.
A day later, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Cultivation improved to the late third level of the World Realm!
Originally, his Cultivation had reached the peak middle stage of the third level.
Now, using top-grade Spirit Crystals to Cultivate unrestrainedly, the effect was naturally very gratifying.
While Ling Chen was vigorously Cultivating, numerous seven-star monarch-level powerhouses gathered at the Dutong Mansion in Netherworld.
The news of Murong Qingshan’s murder was temporarily sealed off.
After all, Murong Qingshan was killed within the Dutong Mansion.
Outsiders had no way of knowing.
