Having dealt with the three Dou Zun powerhouses, the remaining Soul Hall members within the Bitter Sea Palace also sensed the change in events. They densely surrounded the entire Bitter Sea Palace, but upon sensing the strength of Xiao Fan and Mo Shang, their faces revealed despair.
"Wow!"
Seeing the Soul Hall members trying to escape, Xiao Fan reached out, and the distorted space instantly enveloped the entire Bitter Sea Palace. All the Soul Hall experts within this space were transformed into caged beasts.
"It's your turn to step up."
Mo Shang spoke softly, and Ling Yu and his group, who were meditating in the distance, immediately set off.
They had been watching the distance closely, and only now did they realize just how terrifying Mo Shang and Xiao Fan's strength truly was.
From the moment Mo Shang and his companion made their move until all three Dou Zun of the Bitter Sea Palace perished, the time was less than five breaths.
In such a short time, the powerful Dou Zun were slaughtered like ants, and Ling Yu and the others felt an even greater fear of Mo Shang.
Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, the group exchanged glances, each knowing exactly what they should do.
With a swift movement, he charged towards the Bitter Sea Palace.
Mo Shang remained where he was, constantly surveying the battlefield, trying to see who in the Senluo Palace was still worth cultivating.
Xiao Fan then walked straight to the back of the Bitter Sea Palace and found the place in this branch palace where soul bodies were collected and their origins extracted.
Seeing the abundant soul essence, Xiao Fan showed no politeness and accepted it all with a wave of his hand.
After all, he hadn't yet used the soul cultivation method he exchanged from the system. Now that he had so much soul essence, it was enough for him to squander!
Returning to the front lines, many powerful figures from the Bitter Sea Palace were still struggling, but their fate was already sealed.
Ling Yu, a six-star Dou Zong, faced an attack from a seven-star Dou Zong. Although he was constantly suppressed by the opponent, he ultimately traded injury for life and completely ended the opponent's life.
Seeing Ling Yu's fighting spirit, Mo Shang nodded to himself.
After a while, all the powerful figures of the Bitter Sea Palace were wiped out, and the four Dou Zong and thirteen Dou Huang brought by Mo Shang also suffered many casualties.
And this was only because Mo Shang intentionally controlled their opponents; otherwise, with just these dozen or so people, even if all the Dou Zun of the Bitter Sea Palace were dead, they wouldn't be able to cause the slightest trouble.
Despite this, one of the four Dou Zong was seriously injured, and only eleven Dou Huang remained.
"Everyone should collect their own loot and retreat immediately after an incense stick has burned."
Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, the eyes of many powerful figures lit up, and they excitedly gathered their spoils, then began to plunder the resources within the Bitter Sea Palace.
After an incense stick had burned, everyone returned home laden with their spoils.
Xiao Fan waved his hand, and a huge palm print descended from the sky, completely turning the Bitter Sea Palace into dust, erasing all traces of it.
Chapter 242 Reencounter with Huang Luo
After the battle at the Bitter Sea Palace ended, Mo Shang did not linger and retreated with the Soul Palace experts from the Senluo Palace. However, before leaving, a storage ring fell into Xiao Fan's hands.
This storage ring contained the corpses of Old Ghost Zhaixing and Bai Tianzun. Moreover, most of the resources from the Senluo Palace and the Bitter Sea Palace were also in this storage ring and handed over to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan looked at the storage ring in his hand, a scorching light flashing in his eyes. His figure flickered and he quickly disappeared from the place. He found a secluded mountain range, set up an array to conceal his aura, and then entered a cave.
Upon entering the cave, Xiao Fan produced a scroll, which was the cultivation technique for enhancing soul power that the system had rewarded him with. The reason Xiao Fan acted this way was because this scroll also contained an extremely profound method of devouring spirits.
“I have no qualms about using you as materials.”
Xiao Fan waved his hand, and three illusory souls sealed by heavy restrictions appeared in mid-air. Their appearances were none other than the three Dou Zun powerhouses in the Bitter Sea Palace. Under the joint sneak attack of Xiao Fan and Mo Shang, the three were killed before they could even react, and their souls were extracted by Xiao Fan and Mo Shang.
Xiao Fan placed the three illusory soul entities aside, then waved his hand again, and dense energy clusters radiating the aura of the soul's origin appeared around him.
This is the soul essence extracted by the Soul Hall experts in the Bitter Sea Palace through collecting soul bodies, but which has not yet been delivered to the Soul Hall headquarters.
With so much soul essence, Xiao Fan decided to cultivate the Soul Devouring Technique within this scroll.
"boom!"
Xiao Fan opened the scroll and probed it with his soul power. He frowned slightly and quickly realized how the Soul Devouring Technique worked. After observing for a while, Xiao Fan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
"laugh!"
With a flick of his finger, Xiao Fan unleashed a dense aura that gradually spread across the ground, quickly forming a massive array centered on his location at Panxi, radiating eerie fluctuations.
Xiao Fan reached out, and the rich soul essence surrounding him flowed away with his movement, slowly pouring into the array patterns on the ground, causing wisps of faint light to rise.
On the ground, the three sealed souls saw Xiao Fan's actions and understood his plan. Their faces were filled with fear, but Xiao Fan ignored them.
With one claw each, Xiao Fan threw three soul entities into the formation, landing them in three directions outside his body. Immediately, the soul essence within the formation spread out, imprisoning the three soul entities.
"puff!"
Xiao Fan sat cross-legged in the center, his vast soul power surging into the ground. As Xiao Fan moved, the light above the formation shone brightly, and the three imprisoned souls showed painful expressions on their faces, staring ferociously at Xiao Fan in the center.
Faintly visible, streams of pure soul energy were drawn from the three soul bodies, then converged towards the center of the formation, and gradually flowed into Xiao Fan's body.
Xiao Fan could feel that the soul essence entering his body was as if it were his own, and it didn't need any refining at all. It directly surged into his mind. Xiao Fan's soul realm, which had been stagnant for a long time, gradually rose with the influx of this rich soul essence!
"What a wondrous formation..."
Feeling his soul realm constantly rising, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of excitement.
The soul essence extracted from the souls of those alchemists by the Soul Palace can be used, but it is impossible to improve one's own soul realm with it. At most, it can only be used to restore one's consumed soul power.
The array recorded in this scroll is capable of turning these soul essences into treasures, directly absorbing them and transforming them into the soul essence of the array setter, which can then be used to enhance their own soul realm.
The pleasure of his soul being elevated made Xiao Fan almost groan with pleasure. Since he stepped into the eighth-grade alchemist realm, his soul power had not been improved for a long time.
However, with the help of these three Dou Zun soul bodies, Xiao Fan can sense that his soul realm is probably not far from the next stage!
After a long while, the three souls turned to ashes amidst their wails, and the light within the formation gradually dimmed.
"boom!"
With the advancement of his soul realm, Xiao Fan's strength was once again enhanced!
"Finally broke through to the sixth-star Dou Zun!"
Two sharp glints flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and his aura spread out, instantly annihilating the surrounding array traces without leaving the slightest flaw.
"It seems there won't be another opportunity for such a rest anytime soon..."
Xiao Fan stood up, then reached out, and a pitch-black crack instantly appeared in front of him. He stepped into it, and his figure vanished instantly.
By chance, Xiao Fan returned to the Jia Ma Empire. He had been thinking about You Ruo and her two children who were far away in the Jia Ma Empire. Now he just wanted to resolve the matter in Zhongzhou as soon as possible, and preferably bring You Ruo and her children to Xingyun Pavilion.
Therefore, Xiao Fan has now chosen to take the initiative!
Now, his enemies in Zhongzhou, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Yellow Springs Pavilion, are practically defunct. Although Xiao Fan wants to deal with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Palace, he understands that with his current strength, he is no match for the two clans.
However, what he needs to do now is to draw their attention to himself, so as to buy more time for Starfall Pavilion and Xiao Yan.
Half a day later, Xiao Fan felt a sense of vigilance, as if another pair of eyes were watching him.
Xiao Fan's soul perception was keen, and he immediately realized that there was probably a powerful figure secretly watching him.
Xiao Fan carefully examined his body and soon discovered that thick blood-red light was emerging from within him. Sensing the aura emanating from this blood-red light, Xiao Fan immediately understood the identity of the newcomer.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan..."
"laugh!"
The next moment, a dark crack appeared in front of Xiao Fan, and powerful auras emerged from the crack. Then, a familiar figure stepped out from it.
"Huang Luo!"
Under Xiao Fan's gaze, a figure appeared before him, emanating an aura that had long surpassed the power of an ordinary Dou Zun expert.
"We meet again! It's been so hard to find you!"
Huang Luo's figure appeared in mid-air, her scarlet eyes scrutinizing Xiao Fan as she spoke.
As Huang Luo finished speaking, the spatial rift behind her closed, and curses echoed from within.
"Huang Luo, you....."
Xiao Fan looked at Huang Luo in surprise. There were clearly other powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan behind her, but Huang Luo seemed to have interrupted the teleportation through the spatial rift, preventing them from appearing.
Seeing Xiao Fan's surprised look, Huang Luo laughed and said, "Hehe, you are my opponent. As for them... forget about it, their methods are too dirty..."
Xiao Fan looked at Huang Luo, somewhat surprised by what he had said.
However, considering Huang Luo's state, if he hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't have doubted himself after losing a match and remained depressed for hundreds of years.
However, facing Huang Luo, Xiao Fan said, "So, you're different from them? A fair fight, do you intend to suppress your cultivation level and fight me?"
However, Xiao Fan didn't hold out much hope. The other party was just being stubborn; they weren't stupid and wouldn't do something so foolish.
"Heh, you're quite the keyboard player. You managed to block me last time, so I let you off the hook. This time, I won't give you that chance."
Huang Luo ignored Xiao Fan. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes shone brightly, and the space in front of Xiao Fan instantly shattered layer by layer.
Although Xiao Fan kept teasing Huang Luo, he was extremely vigilant and dared not be careless in the slightest. As soon as Huang Luo made a move, Xiao Fan noticed it.
She vanished from her spot in an instant. Looking back at the shattered space, Xiao Fan was even more astonished by Huang Luo's strength.
"A second-stage Dou Zun!?"
Xiao Fan hadn't expected that, just two months after the end of the Pill Gathering, his opponent would directly advance to the second-stage Dou Zun realm. Although he had been stuck at the peak of Dou Zun for hundreds of years, his current momentum was even more terrifying.
"Shatter the Void!"
Huang Luo looked at Xiao Fan, let out a soft chuckle, and then an invisible wave spread out, causing the space it touched to shatter like tofu, spreading towards Xiao Fan.
Upon noticing Huang Luo's attack, a look of seriousness flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.
This attack from the opponent was the ultimate application of spatial power; space shattered, spatial power became chaotic, and there was no way to avoid it.
