Chapter 851: The Fifth Cycle Soul Refinement, Going Back Empty Handed
The three souls attacked the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal at the same time!
The Immortal Progenies were all horrified by the power of the three unique techniques, namely the Single Thought Series, the Invincible Technique, and the Imperial Monarch Sword Art.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal, who took the attack head-on, was being greatly overpowered!
Boom!
Having been hit by the Invincible Technique, the Inverted Universe, a large number of soul orbs appeared from the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal's body, and Chu Kuangren sucked them all the soul orbs into his body.
The Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement was activated!
These soul energies were quickly refined and absorbed by Chu Kuangren.
"Your altar is quite useful."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Soul Refining Altar was the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal's treasure. With it, a strong soul could absorb a weaker soul.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal was so horrified and angry to see Chu Kuangren absorbing his soul energy that he began to tremble.
He initially thought that Chu Kuangren was at his mercy.
However, who would have thought that Chu Kuangren was the hunter and he was his prey?
"D*mn. How could this be?!" The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal shouted with disbelief.
His plan was perfect.
How could Chu Kuangren appear and ruin his plan?!
"When did you find out that I wanted to take over your body?" asked the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal, dissatisfied.
"I found out as soon as I entered the Violet Blood Daoist Palace," Chu Kuangren said with mockery.
Lil Ai would know the function of the rhombus-shaped crystal in the Astral Illusory Realm and the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal's soul once it began its analysis.
Chu Kuangren did not need to speculate.
"How could it be? It's impossible even if you're as smart as a demon,"
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal said in shock.
Chu Kuangren knew his plan as soon as they met?!
Impossible!
How did his plan leak?
"As smart as a demon? Hah… Thanks for the compliment."
To be precise, he was not as smart as a demon. Lil Ai was.
In fact, Lil Ai was not very smart either.
However, she was much better than a smart demon. After all, she was a plug-in.
"Hmph! Hmph!" Lil Ai grunted twice.
"You look pretty happy."
"No. I'm not."
How could Chu Kuangren believe that?
His mouth twitched, and he continued attacking the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal.
If the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal were at his heyday, with a Pseudo Immortal's strength, it would be difficult for him to defeat the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal even if he cultivated the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement.
Nevertheless, the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal was just a remnant soul now.
He was a remnant soul preserved by the Astral Illusory Realm after he died of madness. No matter how strong he was before his death, he was not Chu Kuangren's opponent.
"I must leave!"
"Otherwise, I'll die here!"
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal wanted to leave after realizing that Chu Kuangren was getting increasingly aggressive. As such, he opened the altar boundary and flew out of it.
"Where do you think you can run to?!" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Then, the three souls attacked together. Their Daoist patterns interweaved, and they mobilized their Emperor Thought to transform into three universal chains that flew out swiftly.
The three universal chains moved like lightning and entangled the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal.
"Hah! Since you chained me just now, I will give you a taste of your own medicine now!" the Earth Soul sneered and yanked fiercely.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal was suddenly pulled back onto the Soul Refining Altar. Under the shackle of the universal chains, he could not escape at all.
"D*mn it. D*mn it!"
"Immortal Technique, Violet Dragon's Blood Pierce!"
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal shrieked, and his Immortal Technique's fluctuations erupted.
However, before it was fully cast, Chu Kuangren's three souls attacked together and interrupted his power.
They besieged the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal.
Not long after, the Pseudo Immortal's soul was beaten to pieces, and a large amount of his soul energy escaped. However, Chu Kuangren's soul absorbed them all.
With that, the Pseudo Immortal's soul gradually disintegrated.
"Single Thought Series!"
"Imperial Monarch Sword Art!"
"Invincible Technique!"
Three energies erupted at the same time!
That combined attack crushed Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal's soul to the core.
Chu Kuangren sucked the huge amount of soul orbs into his body and activated his Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement to its fullest potential.
"Nine-Cycle Trinity, merge!"
Chu Kuangren's Heaven Soul cried out.
The Hell Soul and Earth Soul merged with Heaven Soul, causing a terrifying eruption of soul aura, which swept everywhere.
The Fifth Cycle of the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement was a success!
Not only that but the Hell Soul and Earth Soul were then divided again, with each of them having surging soul energy.
Jian Sanjue and Shui Qianhua shuddered under the terrifying soul aura, while several other Immortal Progenies were puzzled.
What a weird soul cultivation technique!
"Alright. It's time to go back," Chu Kuangren muttered.
After that, the three souls unleashed a combined attack at the void.
An explosion ensued, and the void blasted open!
The Astral Illusory Realm began to crack and tear apart.
As Chu Kuangren's three souls rushed towards the crack, Jian Sanjue, Shui Qianhua, and the rest immediately came back to their senses.
They followed Chu Kuangren and rushed toward the crack too.
In the Violet Blood Daoist Palace, several rays of light shot out from the suspended rhombus-shaped crystal and fell onto Chu Kuangren's physical body. All of a sudden, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes.
"Heh. I've gained quite a lot of items this time."
Although the inheritance of the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal was a lie, his soul energy was real. This time, he had upgraded his Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement from the Fourth Cycle to the peak-stage of the Fifth Cycle.
Chu Kuangren could now easily kill the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal with his mind power and his Great Daoist Celestial cultivation level alone. If he had used his Emperor qi and other means, he need not be afraid of even a Top-notch Great Daoist Celestial.
"This trip to the Ancient Legacy Planet is not a waste."
Chu Kuangren laughed.
At that moment, several rays of light shot out from the rhombus-shaped crystal.
It was Shui Qianhua and the rest.
The moment they returned to their physical bodies, they opened their eyes and looked at Chu Kuangren with fear… and awe.
Chu Kuangren ignored them as he got up to grab the rhombus-shaped crystal and felt it carefully.
"You want to take away this Astral Illusory Realm?" Zi Feng asked.
"You don't agree?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Everyone looked at each other and dared not say a word.
F*ck them!
Chu Kuangren had chopped up the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal into pieces.
"Although it was a soul battle in the Astral Illusory Realm and we did not use our physical body's cultivation base, I reckon his physical body's combat strength won't be much worse. An Astral Illusory Realm isn't useful to me."
"I don't practice Soul Dao, so there's no harm in giving it to him."
Several Immortal Progenies kept to their own thoughts, and no one took action.
Upon seeing this, Chu Kuangren chuckled. "Boring."
Then, he walked out from the Violet Blood Daoist Palace.
A few Immortal Progenies behind him followed after as well. As soon as Zi Han, Jin Jie, and the rest of the Immortal Progenies saw Zi Feng and others coming out, they immediately went up to greet them.
"Zi Feng, what happened inside?"
"Who got the inheritance?"
Zi Feng shook his head. "None of us got it."
A few people briefly recounted the incidents that happened in the Violet Blood Daoist Palace. When they heard the story, several Immortal Progenies exchanged glances with each other.
"The inheritance was fake, and all the treasures fell into Chu Kuangren's hands. Doesn't that make him the greatest winner?"
"Our forces didn't manage to get more items than Chu Kuangren alone? Not even the Astral Illusory Realm?!"
Zi Feng's brows furrowed slightly. "Chu Kuangren took all the treasures?"
"That's right."
D*mn!
What did they come here for? To go back empty-handed?
"We can't let him just leave like this."
"There is no inheritance, but those treasures are real.. They can't fall into Chu Kuangren's hands."
