Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 763 - 423: Mastering the Soul Dao Primordial, Three Years Passed, Sprinting for Eternal Tower’s Fifth Layer (Part 2)

However, the Blood Essence Dao Prototype he comprehended was enough to evolve the cultivation technique of the Blood Soul Sect, and his own soul power was stronger than those old monsters. With some concealment, it was natural that they wouldn't notice any problems.

"Just as well, I'm ready too."

Jiang Shu formed his two fingers into a blade and slashed downward.

"You... you're mad! In the relics, our Demon Sect forbids taking action!"

Zhu Kun couldn't believe that this "Luo Po" actually dared to strike at him. Before entering the relics, the Demon Sect had clearly issued orders.

There are countless opportunities in the relics; each depends on their fate, and it's forbidden to fight over inheritances.

Now, in this Soul-shaking Mountain, it's not even considered an inheritance!

It's just a place of training.

He formed seals with his hands, and streams of Yin Corpses surged forth from his side.

Yin Corpse Sect! Mastering Yin Corpses!

Although he didn't expect Luo Po to attack, Zhu Kun believed he had done nothing wrong.

While the Blood Soul Sect is not weak, this Luo Po was in the Soul-shaking Mountain.

The "Nine Revolutions Blood Wheel Technique" enhances physical strength, allowing one to condense nine blood wheels inside the body, capable of battling Great Demons of the Demon Race at its peak—but this was the Soul-shaking Mountain.

The Soul-shaking Demon Sound was ever-present, and once one focused on physical combat, this Luo Po would surely be killed by the Soul-shaking Demon Sound, without him even needing to strike.

As for if one focused solely on resisting the Soul-shaking Demon Sound?

His several Yin Corpses would be enough to leave this Luo Po with no escape.

As Zhu Kun hardened his resolve and drove three Yin Corpses,

a streak of blood light seemed to slash lightly.

Appearing powerless, yet it slashed into his brow, along with his soul, which was annihilated.

The three Yin Corpses that had not yet moved fell strangely through the air.

"If it were a disciple of the Puppet Sect, in this Soul-shaking Mountain, they could move with ease."

The Puppet Sect primarily cultivates spiritual power, and as long as the soul could be stabilized, one could continuously attack with puppets in the Soul-shaking Mountain.

Though strong, the Soul-shaking Demon Sound only affects the soul.

Puppets and Yin Corpses are inanimate, and can act freely here instead.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Demon Sect relics have stringent age requirements.

In the same age group, an ordinary Nirvana Realm Middle Stage is already considered an absolute genius, yet in these relics, there is constant risk of perishing.

Only he, who reached this realm within a mere five hundred years of cultivation, could move freely.

Jiang Shu smiled, then commanded the three Yin Corpses like puppets to directly attack the sole remaining Demon Sect genius in the far distance.

A few breaths later, with the Soul Crystal stored in his Sleeve Universe, Jiang Shu took a step and entered the Inner Circle of the Soul-shaking Mountain.

To him, dealing with these Demon Sect geniuses was as simple as eating or drinking water.

Having waited so long, it was time to confront those few old monsters inside.

The Inner Circle is where the true great rewards are.

...

Compared to the Outer Circle, the Soul-shaking Demon Sound in the Inner Circle instantly intensified several times, with strong sound waves shaking the soul. This vibrational force was even comparable to a Nirvana Thunder Tribulation.

An ordinary Nirvana Realm Middle Stage could possibly be obliterated in the blink of an eye under such Soul-shaking Demon Sound, the soul extinguished.

Only a very few geniuses can enter.

Of course, presently, in this Inner Circle, there are only four old monsters, and without enough Soul Crystals, entering here, even at the Nirvana Realm Late Stage, one wouldn't last long.

"This Inner Circle, it feels like its own space."

"Entering is like passing through a Transmission Array, being sent to different edges, and to continually temper the soul, one can only enter the deepest parts."

After entering the Inner Circle, Jiang Shu felt the Soul-shaking Demon Sound howling by his ears, like giant blades, ignoring his physical body and striking directly at his soul.

Even True Monarchs of the Nirvana Realm Late Stage would find it hard to endure for many days here.

Soon, he'd have to use Soul Crystals.

But this pain was nothing to Jiang Shu. He strolled leisurely forward, constantly circulating the "Great Void Heart Scripture," using the Soul-shaking Demon Sound to temper his soul again and again.

Meanwhile, he split three strands of spiritual power to send the three Yin Corpses out to search for traces of those old monsters.

To him, he wasn't afraid of the Soul-shaking Demon Sound being too powerful in the Inner Circle.

He only feared the Soul-shaking Demon Sound wouldn't have much effect on him.

Now, it seemed, just entering the Inner Circle was enough to temper his soul, and the deepest parts surely held greater surprises.

Not rushing to use Soul Crystals, as Jiang Shu advanced, the power of the Soul-shaking Demon Sound grew stronger, reducing the control range of the Yin Corpses.

From a few hundred miles earlier to less than ten miles now.

"It seems those old monsters, after entering the Inner Circle, also dare not casually release spiritual power."

In a short time, Jiang Shu had already found traces of two old monsters, his steps heading towards one of them.

"Who!"

A Demon Sect old monster snapped his eyes open, his spiritual power resisting the Soul-shaking Demon Sound, but sensing a strand of danger approaching.

However, before his words finished, fist light filled the sky, followed by an even more terrifying axe blade.

As if it could cleave the heavens and the earth.

"Boom!"

Jiang Shu struck with the intent to kill in one blow.

Despite reincarnation and cultivating anew, and adding up thousands of years of past and present lives, and even having the opportunity through the colossal chance of the Ancient Demon Sect relics to comprehend the true Great Dao and ascend to the Vientiane Realm, that old monster couldn't last an instant in his hands.

"A hundred and three Soul Crystals... and twenty-seven special Soul Crystals, I'd better act early. If I'm late, each Soul Crystal used by these old monsters would be a big loss."

Jiang Shu didn't pause his steps; although under such Soul-shaking Demon Sound, he couldn't exert full power. His soul had to constantly resist the Soul-shaking Demon Sound.

The power of his strikes was only sixty to seventy percent of his former self.

Yet even so, the other old monsters were far inferior.

Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, those who outside could definitely exchange a few moves with Jiang Shu, at worst escape using some means.

Here, they were suppressed and killed one by one by Jiang Shu.

Various cultivation resources were collected by Jiang Shu blissfully.

"In total, five hundred and sixty-two Soul Crystals, even using one per day, could last nearly two years."

Jiang Shu held the Soul Crystals and absorbed them naturally.

The three Yin Corpses stayed a mile away from Jiang Shu, always on guard against various dangers. Jiang Shu finally began wholeheartedly resisting the Soul-shaking Demon Sound, using the Two Realms Shuttle and Soul Crystals to repeatedly refill his nearly collapsing soul.

The Soul-shaking Demon Sound reverberated.

Jiang Shu guarded his mind, comprehending the Soul Dao Prototype.

Unknowingly, he found himself at the very deepest part of the Soul-shaking Mountain.

Here, he sat for three years!

For mortals, three years is enough to witness many changes.

But for cultivators, especially True Monarchs in the Nirvana Realm delving into the Dao, three years is far too short, perhaps unable to even glimpse the surface of a Dao prototype.

Some True Monarchs contemplate a single Dao for thousands of years.

Though Jiang Shu had previously grasped multiple Dao prototypes, the Soul Dao Prototype had never been among them.

This time, through the Soul-shaking Mountain, he had already mastered and refined it three years prior.

In three years of seclusion and cultivation in the deepest parts, he further advanced the Soul Dao Prototype.

The Blood Essence Dao Prototype and Soul Dao Prototype, like yin and yang, brought his body and soul into a state of cyclic fusion.

Though his realm hadn't advanced.

All his divine skills had undergone significant qualitative changes.

"My spiritual power has finally been tempered to an extreme, and the "Great Void Heart Scripture" is nearing small success. The usefulness of the Soul-shaking Mountain is starting to diminish. It seems it's time to attempt a breakthrough to the Eternal Tower's Fifth Floor."

Amidst the echoing Soul-shaking Demon Sound, Jiang Shu slowly spoke, opened his eyes and joyfully surveyed the changes within his body, then, sitting cross-legged, vanished from the deepest part of the Soul-shaking Mountain.

In an instant, the entire Soul-shaking Mountain was empty.
