Devouring Soul Emperor

The humans surrounding the pavilion made their move.

Around the pavilion, the Iron Armor Apes, whose fury had long since been stoked, roared and charged the incoming humans.

Tier Three Demon Beasts, the Iron Armor Apes were a rare, social species.

A full-grown Iron Armor Ape possessed strength comparable to the Earth Spirit Realm.

They stood a full two and a half meters tall, their entire bodies encased in black scales. Ordinary attacks couldn't even begin to break through their defenses.

This troop of Iron Armor Apes numbered over thirty. It was likely that not even a Demon Beast on par with the Celestial Spirit Realm would dare to provoke them lightly.

SPLAT!

A burly Iron Armor Ape threw a punch, directly obliterating a Level 5 Martial Spirit's head. Blood instantly splattered all over its body.

But this only made it roar with even greater excitement.

Elsewhere, an Iron Armor Ape was gruesomely dismembered under the combined assault of three Level 6 Martial Spirits.

But before the three could even celebrate, a dozen Soul Techniques suddenly came screaming toward them. In an instant, two of the Level 6 Martial Spirits were dead and one was gravely wounded.

From the very beginning, the battle was utter chaos.

The Iron Armor Apes roared madly, killing any human they saw.

As for the human Earth Spirit Realm cultivators, not only did they have to guard against the Iron Armor Apes, but they also had to watch out for sneak attacks from those around them, all while trying to rush inward to seize the treasures in the pavilion.

Because they knew Chu Qingyun was from the Saint Extreme Sect and only at the Realm of a Level 4 Martial Spirit, the moment he charged forward, six or seven Earth Spirit Realm cultivators attacked him in unison.

"Profound Celestial Divine Pattern!"

"Thunder Light Sword Qi!"

In the chaotic battlefield, Chu Qingyun didn't dare to be careless. He immediately activated his Profound Celestial Divine Pattern.

Drawing his Earth Seal Sword, he unleashed a five-meter-long, pale purple Sword Qi. With a single horizontal slash, Chu Qingyun beheaded all six Earth Spirit Realm cultivators!

Before his Thunder Light Sword Qi, their Primordial Power and defenses were utterly useless!

Slaying six Earth Spirit Realm cultivators with a single strike sent a chill down the spines of the others nearby. They all retreated, putting distance between themselves and Chu Qingyun.

Chu Qingyun didn't pursue them. He simply held his Earth Seal Sword and walked step by step toward the pavilion.

With his current strength, if he could successfully execute the Thunder Sword, he had the power to fight even a Level 7 Martial Spirit, an expert of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

An ordinary Level 6 Martial Spirit couldn't even withstand a single move from him!

On the other side of the battlefield, Dai was also fighting with incredible valor.

Although Dai was a bit dim-witted, he could still distinguish friend from foe, and his attacks were anything but weak.

His Hammer Technique, infused with a hint of Earth's Intent, boomed out. Each swing injured a swath of Earth Spirit Realm cultivators. Some of the weaker ones even had their organs directly pulverized, dying on the spot.

"Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine!"

The further in he went, the more attacks he faced.

Chu Qingyun unleashed his Tier Four Martial Soul. On one hand, it could help him defend against some attacks. On the other, he could use the cover of the vines to employ his Devouring Power, consuming Primordial Power and flesh.

Two vines shot out, wrapping around a large Iron Armor Ape in front of him.

The Iron Armor Ape roared in anger and struggled. Its immense strength pulled Chu Qingyun off-balance, nearly causing him to stumble and fall.

However, from the inner side of the vines, a black Devouring Power quietly erupted. A moment later, the scales on its body were devoured into ash. Then, the vines coiled around its body, and the Devouring Power burst forth in full, beginning the true consumption.

The Iron Armor Ape roared and struggled with a mix of fury and terror, but it soon collapsed to the ground, dead.

Just like before, Chu Qingyun only devoured 90% of its Primordial Power and flesh. This way, from the outside, the Iron Armor Ape showed no signs of abnormality.

Besides devouring Iron Armor Apes, Chu Qingyun showed no mercy to the human Earth Spirit Realm cultivators who willingly courted death by attacking him. He would gravely injure them, grab them, and devour their Primordial Power.

Amidst the constant devouring, the Primordial Liquid in Chu Qingyun's Qi Sea steadily filled his entire Qi Sea.

And in his Storage Ring, the Blood Pills, converted from devoured flesh and blood, increased one by one.

In addition, after those Earth Spirit Realm cultivators died, they left behind Martial Souls one after another, all of which Chu Qingyun took without leaving a single one behind.

However, most of them were Tier Three Martial Souls.

It had to be said that possessing a High Tier Martial Soul gave one an advantage in all aspects. Even in a chaotic battle like this, among those in the Earth Spirit Realm, the survival rate for someone with a Tier Four Martial Soul was far higher than for someone with a Tier Three Martial Soul.

Moreover, Chu Qingyun mostly used his vines to attack and devour the Iron Armor Apes, not the human Earth Spirit Realm cultivators.

This was because after feeling the Devouring Power, an Iron Armor Ape wouldn't cry out, but a human Martial Artist might yell and expose his secret.

With Chu Qingyun's current strength, he was simply unstoppable among those in the Earth Spirit Realm.

Soon, he had fought his way to the outskirts of the pavilion, now very close to it.

At this moment, he became the common enemy. Nearly all the surrounding Earth Spirit Realm cultivators began to attack him. Even people farther away noticed him and moved to intercept.

Faced with a barrage of attacks and a siege from all sides, Chu Qingyun was finally obstructed, temporarily halted in his tracks.

After all, his Realm was still only that of a Level 4 Martial Spirit, a bit too low compared to the people around him.

Furthermore, if he failed to block an attack from a Level 6 Martial Spirit and was hit, it would be an immense burden for Chu Qingyun, even with the protection of his Senluo Iron Wall Soul Power.

"Haha, that kid's at his limit! Let's finish him off first!"

"Quick, attack, attack! Kill that kid!"

"Stop him! We absolutely cannot let him get near the pavilion!"

Seeing Chu Qingyun's advance blocked, the surrounding Earth Spirit Realm cultivators all began to clamor, their attacks growing fiercer.

Before, when Chu Qingyun was carving a path forward, anyone in his way had retreated, not daring to say a word.

But now, the moment he was besieged, they became arrogant and started shouting taunts.

"Hmph! You think this is enough to stop me? Dai, get over here and cover me!" Chu Qingyun shouted to Dai on the other side.

Hearing him, Dai didn't hesitate for a second and immediately charged over.

Every one of Dai's attacks carried a portion of Earth's Intent, and he himself was a Level 6 Martial Spirit. Strictly speaking, his attacks were even stronger than Chu Qingyun's!

It was just that his defense was much weaker, so he couldn't attack too wantonly.

"Dai, you attack with all your strength. I'll handle your defense."

After Dai rushed over, Chu Qingyun's ten vines stopped attacking and were all pulled back to defend the two of them.

Dai was very obedient. He immediately smashed out three consecutive hammer strikes, sending a large swath of surrounding Earth Spirit Realm cultivators into chaos as they were sent flying and coughing up blood.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Qingyun leaped up and charged abruptly toward the pavilion.
