Chapter 2024: Chapter 30: Two New Troop Types, Unexpected Split, Birth of the Evil Split Soul?

Flags fluttered in the forest, clouds gathered densely, and a chilling murderous aura spread, making people afraid to take a step closer.

Zhao Xing glanced back and realized that the scene behind him had also changed, as if standing by the riverside, with dark clouds looming in the distance, resembling the onset of war.

"Go further up!"

Zhao Xing frowned at the pressure and ascended two more steps.

Standing on the sixth tier, the heavy atmosphere and the sense of impending slaughter made him feel suffocated. As the steps rose, he saw more scenes, the silhouettes of Divine Soldiers and Generals seemed more solid, their swords and armor gleaming coldly, making them hard to look at directly.

"Boom boom boom~"

On the seventh tier, the sound of drums reached his ears first, followed by the emergence of a massive drum made of buffalo hide, its sound waves spreading through the heavens and earth, as if it could make one’s heart leap out. The Mind Realm and Great Dark Sky began to waver.

Standing on the ninth tier, the thunder of the drum echoed, lightning flashed across the sky, accompanied by an increasingly intense drumbeat that seemed to provoke an imminent battle. It felt as though a great horror lurked on the opposite bank, Zhao Xing’s entire body felt pierced, his thoughts consumed by the desire to flee.

"Buzz~"

In the Mind Realm appeared an Asura with three heads and six arms, infecting one thought after another, the fleeing thoughts defeated, becoming nourishment for the Asura.

Zhao Xing steadied himself on the tenth tier.

Relying on the Spirit Secret Technique, he successfully steadied himself on the eleventh tier.

Now Zhao Xing had reached the final tier of the Five Sounds Illusion Realm.

A giant clad in Golden Demi-God Armor viciously pounded the drum with bone mallets, each strike reverberating in Zhao Xing’s heart, causing every inch of his muscles to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhao Xing had to unleash both methods simultaneously, pushing the Mind Realm and single-minded Asura to their utmost limit, daring to take the final step.

"The Mind Realm intertwines with dark emotions, initially sinking into darkness, the illusion cannot move my spirit. The Asura emerges from the darkness, driven by murderous thoughts, with auxiliary wicked thoughts, breaking through all illusions!"

"Boom!"

Upon stepping onto the twelfth tier, the last drumbeat fell, and all sounds abruptly ceased.

Zhao Xing found momentary peace, while heaven and earth fell into silence.

The next moment—

"Kill!!!"

An overwhelming murderous intent emanated from the army formation, the flood turned fiercer, the army on his side of the river completely mobilized, the black mist on the opposite shore drawing near.

In an instant, Zhao Xing was engulfed by the surging battle and murderous intent, rushing with the army towards the opposite bank.

"Bang!"

The entwined sounds of killing intent, battle intent, and drums instantly shook Zhao Xing off the twelfth tier.

Released from the illusion, he naturally regained clarity.

"Did I fail?"

Gasping with discomfort as he clutched his chest.

Beside him, Feng Chen looked ahead with some disbelief.

Zhao Xing raised his gaze to see himself still standing on the twelfth tier. His head turned, revealing half his face with a mischievous smile.

"What? This is..."

Zhao Xing immediately realized what had occurred.

He did fall off, but what fell was the soul body of his original self; at the final tier, his soul was shaken out of the body!

Yet he truly passed, because of his excessive Mind Realm and single-minded Asura use at the twelfth tier, unconsciously completing the 101st great soul tear!

This tear was vastly different from before; it wasn’t intentionally done by Zhao Xing, and the connection was extremely weak, as if a Taichu Avatar had left him for many years.

In addition, it was intensely dark!

It felt like another evil self!

"Damn, did I become an Avatar?"

The original self now lost the Magic Body, shaken out by the Five Sounds Illusion Realm.

Without the support of negative emotions, the original soul body could use the Great Dark Sky technique but couldn’t break through the Twelve-tiered Illusion Realm.

Could it be that he could only watch as the dark side’s Split Soul occupied his flesh?

"Zhao Xing, your splitting repercussions seem quite severe this time..." Feng Chen the scholar also sensed something amiss.

Since the Split Soul Body paid no mind to the original soul body shaken out below, it directly headed towards the large tree outside the East Palace Gate.

"It’s quite severe indeed." Zhao Xing smiled wryly, "I finally understand the discomfort from before, turns out the 101st split was imminent, and due to cultivating the [Great Dark Sky], the one within the Magic Body and flesh is the dark side’s Split Soul."

"So, you’re possessed?" Feng Chen exclaimed in shock.

"Not quite." Zhao Xing shook his head, "There is still a remedy."

The previously left Taichu Avatar now serves its purpose.

Zhao Xing’s original soul body immediately leaped into the Taichu Avatar observing from below the steps.

He then initiated a seamless teleport.

"Buzz~"

In the next moment, the original soul body returned to the flesh on the steps.

Upon returning to the Life Palace Sea of Consciousness, Zhao Xing saw an Asura voraciously consuming the remaining ninety Split Souls.

The Asura’s face transformed into Zhao Xing’s own likeness, rapidly swelling.

Zhao Xing’s expression changed, he shouted aloud: "Stop!"

The Dark Split Soul remained silent, continuously devouring.

As if a voice within his mind was consuming other voices, the thoughts of remaining Split Souls gradually being assimilated by the evil of the Dark Split Soul.

Even Zhao Xing’s original soul body began to feel the effects, involuntarily inciting murderous desires.

"Boom!"

The original self immediately acted, in the Life Palace Sea of Consciousness, a golden gleaming Five-Finger Mountain descended, intending to suppress the Dark Split Soul.

The original soul body’s strength exceeded the Split Soul’s, in such pure confrontation, it was supposed to be easily annihilated.

However, [Great Dark Sky] was stronger in the hands of the Dark Soul Body, and the original soul body temporarily couldn’t suppress it.
