Soul Emperor Awakening

In the blink of an eye, two more soldiers appeared. Lin Xuan swung his White Pupil Rod and thrust it forward, effortlessly dispersing them. Two clouds of red mist drilled into his body and the Token he carried, making him feel a bit excited again and increasing his Cultivation by a tiny amount.

A moment later, three soldiers appeared. They thrust their weapons without hesitation, only to be promptly and effortlessly dispersed by Lin Xuan.

The moment the three soldiers were dispersed, four more appeared...

As soon as he dispersed one group, another would appear in the blink of an eye, one soldier larger than the last. They pounced without pause, offering no time to rest. He was in a constant, high-strung state of battle.

As more and more red mist seeped into his body, Lin Xuan felt increasingly excited, his Killing Intent growing stronger. If his Willpower wasn’t firm enough, it would be easy to be defeated or even driven mad within this Godslaying Array.

Meanwhile, outside the Godslaying Array, everyone was staring intently at a Stone Stele. This stele recorded the number of kills from three separate locations within the array.

The numbers for all three locations were refreshing at a frantic pace. In the Early Stage, there was little difference between them; all were rising rapidly. Zi Yi stared at the section for Lin Xuan’s space, praying for his safety. ’Don’t push yourself just to prove a point,’ she thought. ’Forcing it will have a huge impact on your Cultivation.’

If he was driven mad, it would be no different from death, and such things had happened before. Or if he suffered a serious injury inside, the gains would not be worth the loss.

’Young Master Lin, you mustn’t force yourself!’ Zi Yi prayed silently. As she looked up, she saw the red mist from the other two spaces in the Godslaying Array surging madly toward Lin Xuan’s space. She froze for a moment before realizing what was happening. "They’re actually resorting to such tactics!" she said coldly. "Stop them! Now!"

"Miss Zi Yi, we can’t do anything about that. The Godslaying Array has already been activated; we can’t get in," a Guard said with a helpless shrug, though a hint of schadenfreude gleamed in his eyes.

Zi Yi trembled with anger. She clenched her jaw, staring at the Godslaying Array, and murmured worriedly, "Young Master Lin, you absolutely must not push yourself..."

Inside the Godslaying Array, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed the surrounding red mist growing thicker. He paid it no mind and continued to slaughter the soldiers before him. But when he finished off the current batch, the next wave’s numbers suddenly doubled. What should have been five soldiers became ten in the blink of an eye!

"Ten?" Lin Xuan frowned. ’This isn’t right,’ he thought. ’It should have increased to six by now, but instead it jumped straight to ten.’

"Eight Extremes Staff Technique!"

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan swung his White Pupil Rod and smashed it down hard. After the initial impact, he swept it rapidly in a circle around him. All ten soldiers were sent flying, the chests of each one caved in.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All ten soldiers dissolved into red mist that surged into his body, causing his Killing Intent to spike and his Cultivation to rise with it.

After the ten soldiers were slain, a whooshing sound was heard, and twenty more soldiers appeared before him. They fixed their crimson gazes on Lin Xuan and charged, thrusting their long spears.

"Twenty? Perfect timing!"

Lin Xuan laughed loudly, feeling no pressure whatsoever. He swung his White Pupil Rod down hard. A surging Qi Force, tinged with intense Killing Intent, swept out in all directions, knocking back all twenty soldiers. The moment they were repelled, he spun rapidly, and the domineering Qi Force transformed into a red Giant Dragon that roared as it tore through them!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The twenty soldiers posed no difficulty at all. They all dissolved into red mist and flowed into his body. A feeling of pure exhilaration washed over him. A red light flashed in his eyes but quickly vanished. He was completely unaffected by the Killing Intent; his Mental Realm was as clear as a mirror!

These were tangible Illusions, humanoids formed from red mist, which was why the Soul Pearl couldn’t grant immunity to them. However, it could still easily suppress even the strongest Killing Intent, preventing him from being affected. Of course, he didn’t even need the Soul Pearl now. He could suppress and control this Killing Intent freely with his own power.

After the twenty soldiers vanished, forty more appeared. They were a dense crowd, their faces expressionless, their eyes filled with red light—a truly unnerving sight.

But Lin Xuan just laughed and shouted, "Come on, the more the better!"

He wasn’t the least bit concerned about the numbers. He just wanted to keep improving. Under the constant barrage, the Dragon Blood Pill within him was being absorbed at an accelerated rate. The red light emanating from him was no fainter than the red mist outside, making him equally conspicuous.

In a nearby space, Zhao Fei, unaware of Lin Xuan’s situation, split a soldier in two with his sword and sneered, "So you wanted to be a hero? Fine, I’ll just accelerate the effects for you. Let’s see how long you can last. That’s twice our numbers. Enjoy it!"

Zhao Fei and Liang Renlong didn’t know this, but Zi Yi, who was outside, could see it clearly. The number on the Stone Stele was increasing rapidly. At first, it rose by tens, but now it was jumping by hundreds! And the pace wasn’t slowing down; if anything, it was getting even more ferocious.

"It’s almost at a thousand!" Zi Yi saw that the count for Lin Xuan’s chamber had skyrocketed to nearly one thousand.

The nearby Guards watched in some surprise. To be able to handle double the numbers so easily on a first attempt, one clearly had to be an extremely experienced fighter.

But this was just the beginning.

’Almost a thousand, I’d say?’ Lin Xuan swung his White Pupil Rod, and as he killed the last soldier, his count reached exactly one thousand.

The next moment, the enemies no longer appeared by the hundreds. Instead, a single soldier materialized. But this soldier was different. Its armor was thicker, and its Cultivation was higher—it had reached the Spirit Refining Stage!

"So we’re moving on to the Spirit Refining Stage Level, are we?" Lin Xuan licked his lips, then thrust his White Pupil Rod straight forward. With a THUD, he easily pierced the soldier, but it took slightly more effort than before. Its Defense Power had increased significantly.

However, when it dissolved into red mist and entered his body, the amount of Red Energy it provided was much greater, and the Killing Intent was even more potent.

"Excellent. Bring me more!"

Lin Xuan laughed, pulled the Blood Jade Fruit from his Storage Space, and shoved it into his mouth without hesitation. The dual boost to his blood qi caused his power to skyrocket. When two more Spirit Refining Stage soldiers appeared, he skewered them both with a single, effortless thrust of his rod—a double kill!

This was exactly the effect he wanted. He’d never felt so invigorated. This was sheer bliss—the ultimate ecstasy of battle!

While others thought he was enduring an ordeal, he was actually reveling in it. ’This is so much better than the Cyan Cloud Tower,’ he thought. ’If this continues and the numbers keep increasing like crazy, will they eventually reach the Essence Pill Stage Cultivation level? I wonder what that will be like.’
