Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1621: Chapter 1659: Third Form: Soul Hook (Fifth Update)

"What about you?" the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner asked curiously.

Jiang Fan closed his eyes and said, "Let me calculate."

He sensed the strength of his domain and recalled the extent of depletion from the last use.

A hint of oddity emerged as he opened his eyes.

"How many times can you use it? Surely it’s not the same as Princess Zi Jiang, who can only use it three times?"

Jiang Fan was somewhat skeptical and uncertain, "I think I can use it... ten times."

Poof!

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood, "What? Ten times?"

"That’s more than our ordinary divine rings?"

"No, doesn’t your Dao have any negative restrictions?"

The Building Owner couldn’t understand it; such a domineering Ancestor Dao divine ring should consume more domain power like Time Origin.

How could it defy reason when it came to Jiang Fan?

He was now doubting his earlier judgment of Jiang Fan’s Heavenly Human Decline Tribulation.

Could it be that during his tribulation, instead of negative impacts, he felt more comfortable than the ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm?

If so, he would truly be upset.

That’s too unfair!

Jiang Fan rubbed the circular divine ring on the back of his head and said, "Ultimately, how many times it can be used will depend on actual combat."

"Hopefully, there are really ten times, to surprise the Ancient Giants."

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner recovered after some time, enviously and jealously saying:

"All good things seem to fall upon you, it’s unbelievable!"

Thinking briefly, he pulled out a piece of pure white, sanctified bone and tossed it to Jiang Fan:

"This is a bone from a nine-winged Great Angel that governs the Invisibility Law."

"Keep it with you, it can conceal your divine ring."

Jiang Fan remembered how the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner managed to hide his cultivation from the Nine-Day Giant Emperor.

No doubt it was due to this nine-winged Great Angel bone.

He was grateful, "Thank you, Building Owner."

He was worrying about this; the Circular Divine Ring was too unique and would stand out in a crowd.

Encounters with hostile strong foes would easily cause trouble.

Just then.

A faint yellow glow shone intermittently through the Heavenly Thunder Stone, scattering outward.

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner couldn’t help but look over, "What kind of heaven-defying treasure is this now?"

Jiang Fan’s expression changed slightly. He moved his thoughts and an ancient yellow token flickered urgently in his palm.

His face turned somber, "It’s the Ancient Token."

"It means the ancient hunting is about to begin, and I’ll be forcibly teleported away?"

"Why at such a critical time?"

If it had come earlier, he could have secured a reward to spare Central Earth from the thousand-year war.

This grand battle could potentially be directly concluded.

And yet it appears on the eve of the grand battle.

Even if he wins the reward and returns, whether Central Earth still stands would be uncertain.

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner seemed calm, patting Jiang Fan’s shoulder and said:

"Maintain your mindset and participate in the ancient hunting without worry."

"As long as you reach a certain ranking, the Ancient Giants will automatically retreat to the Heavenly Realm, ending the war."

Jiang Fan deeply gazed at the Ancient Token.

He could only hope the forced teleportation would come later, allowing him to contribute more to the grand battle.

With this in mind, he stored away the Ancient Token and also the Seventh Grade Great Pill.

He closed his eyes and quietly visualized "Soul Cutting Three Forms."

This Earth-level High Technique, which fell from the Void Ancient Tree during Core Formation, had already taught him two soul secret techniques "Soul-shocking Stab" and "Soul Capturing Lock."

They had a tremendous impact on his martial path journey.

Now, the Earth-level High Technique may not quite match the needs of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But he still wished to give it a try.

After all, the items provided by the Void Ancient Tree are much superior to those of the current world.

At once, his attention sank into it, the third form which hadn’t appeared before finally manifested as he proved the Dao and transformed into divinity.

"The final form of ’Soul Cutting Three Forms,’ Soul Grasp!"

"Achieving perfection can forcibly extract the soul from the body of those of the same realm, the usage count determined by one’s soul strength."

Jiang Fan furrowed his brows slightly.

The previous Soul-shocking Stab and Soul Capturing Lock both had the ability to fight beyond their rank.

Now the third form can only target the same realm.

Although it’s still useful to the Divinity Transformation Realm, its effect is not as enticing as it once was.

Jiang Fan’s current strength makes it easy to kill those of the same realm.

Why waste precious soul power with Soul Grasp?

Just as he intended to withdraw his consciousness and abandon the third form, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, didn’t Lecherous Sage give me a drop of Soul Origin, which could help my soul break through to the Heavenly Human Two Declines?"

"So I can extract the Two-star Giant King’s soul?"

"Moreover... once the Giant King’s soul leaves the body, it will automatically disintegrate into smoky black and dissipate, right?"

He swiftly returned his focus to "Soul Cutting Three Forms," excitement showing in his eyes.

This technique might mean little to ordinary beings.

Even if the opponent’s soul is extracted, without the means to kill it, it’ll return to the body immediately, not even counting as possession.

But the Giant King is different; this is practically tailor-made as a killing device for them.

He has no more doubts.

Took out the Soul Origin, swallowed it, and immediately studied the final form of "Soul Cutting Three Forms."

Elsewhere.

Red Demon Venerable watched Xingyuan Venerable with hands behind his back:

"What are you doing exactly?"

"Creating so much vast energy, is it for fun?"

"If any giants mastered Confucianism and detonated this vast energy, you know the consequences, right?"

Xingyuan Venerable stood respectfully, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.

After all, standing before him was the Confucian practitioner’s body from a thousand years ago, Twin Sages.

In some sense, this Venerable was the ancestor of the Confucianism sect.

He bowed deeply and used Confucianism to transmit voice.

After a moment, Red Demon Venerable’s vexed expression transformed into deep shock.

"You’re saying it’s the vast energy stored underground for centuries by your people?"

"You want to use it..."

Xingyuan Venerable smiled quietly, "It’s enough for the senior to know."

Red Demon Venerable’s eyes grew complex, "Do you really intend to do this?"

"It will cost your life."

Xingyuan Venerable slightly smiled, "If it’s for peace in the Central Earth, why not sacrifice myself?"

"I’ve waited too long for this day."

Red Demon Venerable’s eyes were filled with compassion, gently patting his shoulder and said softly:

"You’re truly a blessing to Confucianism!"

Xingyuan Venerable smiled without a word.

He only cast his gaze towards the Divinity Transformation Realm in Taicang State, missing True Word Venerable, a momentary glimpse of gloom in his eyes.

Half a day later.

Jiang Fan suddenly awakened by a splendid radiance.

Looking over, it was Heart Demon Venerable nearby.

His face was smiling, emitting a transformative aura, with two conspicuous flame marks flashing on the divine ring on his head!

He broke through Heavenly Human Two Declines!

After years of enlightenment, he was long eligible for a breakthrough to Two Declines.

He was just lacking the opportunity.

With the help of Seventh Grade Great Pill, he finally transformed again and joined the ranks of Heavenly Human Two Declines!

The surrounding Venerates showed reverence and came forward to congratulate:

"Holy Spirit State congratulates Heart Demon senior on igniting Two Decline flame!"

"Great Wilderness State congratulates senior on transformation again."

"Dan State congratulates senior on achieving Two Declines!"

...

Congratulations poured in from all directions.

The titles were no longer Venerate or Dao friends.

But seniors!

Because the difference between Heavenly Human Two Declines and One Decline is comparable to Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul.

It’s a distance that most Heavenly Human One Declines can’t cross in their lifetime.

Immediately, Vice Palace Master You, Purple Forbidden Venerable, and other elder Heavenly Human One Declines who received the Great Pill, broke through the bottleneck one after another.

Six celestial radiances descended one after another.

The crowd was invigorated; six people temporarily breaking through to Heavenly Human Two Declines on the eve of the grand battle was undoubtedly great news.

Jiang Fan also revealed a smile.

The Netherworld King indeed delivered them a great gift.

"Are you the Divinity Transformation lad mastering Ancestor Dao?"

At this moment, a cold, hoarse, and aged voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan’s hair stood on end.

He had reached Divinity Transformation Realm, yet someone could shield his senses to appear behind him?
