The blue soul mist under Universe World was tumbling, showing how sturdy Amber Ash’s saint soul used to be. Without Universe World, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to handle it.
He then heard Amber Ash’s voice from the soul mist. “Let’s have a chat!”
Amber Ash’s mind power hadn’t withered away, but it was indeed very feeble.
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s nothing to talk about between us, isn’t that right?”
“Not necessarily.”
Amber Ash said, “I was ranked first on the Saint King Merits Rank, and the technique I practiced is one of the top ten techniques in Heaven World. I mastered lots of mid-level saint spells, even high-level saint spells. You can’t even imagine how wealthy I was. I was even richer than some supreme saints. Aren’t you interested in any of that?”
“No,” answered Zhang Ruochen.
Actually, Zhang Ruochen was very impressed, as that man used to be the number one on the Saint King Merits Rank, which was more difficult than becoming an actual supreme saint.
One needed unrivaled talents and tremendous luck to achieve that.
After staying silent for a while, Amber Ash said, “I found the inheritance of a God in a universe secret region. You should at least be interested in that, shouldn’t you?”
“Where is that secret region?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Amber Ash was thrilled to see Zhang Ruochen’s interest in the God’s inheritance. “Move away the universe you’re using to suppress me first, then we can talk.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled vaguely.
He knew that Amber Ash had probably taken the God’s inheritance even if there was one. There was no way it was still preserved in that universe secret region.
He stopped listening to Amber Ash and took out the Emperor Yi Bone Staff.
Amber Ash continued after hearing no response from Zhang Ruochen, “There are supreme saint weapons and heaven divine medicinal pills in that secret region, aside from the God’s inheritance.”
Zhang Ruochen pretended that he didn’t hear anything. He mobilized his mind power and entered the skull of the Emperor Yi Bone Staff.
His mind power had surged to level fifty-seven, so he decided to communicate with the evil spirit inhabiting the bone staff.
After entering the skull, Zhang Ruochen seemed to have entered a dark and freezing world with evil power spreading toward him, trying to swallow his mind power.
There was saint might of a supreme saint in that evil power, which gave Zhang Ruochen a lot of pressure.
The Emperor Yi Bone Staff was made of the spine and the head of a supreme saint, and there was still some remaining supreme saint power inside. Each trace of supreme saint power was like a starry river, floating in front of Zhang Ruochen.
Rumbling laughter came out of the dark. “Tst Tst. I can’t believe you dare enter my head with your mind power. You’re really careless, aren’t you?”
Whoosh!
Cold wind was blown in that dark world.
Traces of black mist gathered, which formed a skull that was more than one thousand feet tall, trying to eat Zhang Ruochen’s mind power dividing self.
“You’re just a fragmented soul. Do you really think you’re a intimidating supreme saint like before?”
Zhang Ruochen reached his hand forward, and dozens of traces of lightning were formed, hitting the skull, which groaned in agony.
That skull was the evil spirit.
The black skull was almost completely cracked by the lightning, resorting to backing off and cursing, “Damn it! If my saint soul were still intact, even just ten percent intact, I could make your life a living hell.”
And then, the evil spirit mobilized the supreme saint power in the dark little world, and the starry rivers gathered toward him as though there were hundreds of saint dragons flying around it.
Zhang Ruochen was more cautious, as that was the power of a supreme saint. Although it was still very thin, it still had tremendous power.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the power of the Buddha sarira, and suddenly, the glowing Buddha light shone upon this dark world, purifying the evil power in the space.
Under the Buddha light, the evil spirit seemed to be in agony. It yelled in anger and wielded all the supreme saint power.
The Buddha emperor also released supreme saint power, which was more vigorous. Under the control of Zhang Ruochen, it clashed with the supreme saint power from the evil spirit.
Boom!
The black skull yelled and bounced back, dismantled.
“Don’t purify me with that Buddhist power. I can surrender to you.”
The dismantled black skull then formed a black human shadow and bowed at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was glowing with golden light as if he was a holy Bodhisattva. “Are you a supreme saint? Why do you surrender to me so easily?”
The black shadow knew that its life was in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, so it responded, “The supreme saint has long been dead, and even the saint soul has been destroyed. I’m just an evil spirit made by that great being from Soul Field using the supreme saint’s fragmented soul.”
Those who wanted to become supreme saints would never submit to others.
The creatures who had become supreme saints wouldn’t even surrender to Gods, not to mention a saint king.
Zhang Ruochen kept probing it. “Kneel.”
The evil spirit of Emperor Yi shook. It wanted to fight Zhang Ruochen to death, but seeing the accumulating supreme saint power on Zhang Ruochen’s body, it knew that it didn’t stand a chance against him. Eventually, it kneeled down.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re an evil spirit made by the supreme saint’s fragmented soul, after all. You should at least have a little bit of the mind power left. You must feel very reluctant, don’t you?”
“No. You’re an unrivaled talent with remarkable potential. It’s my honor to refine with you, my lord,” said the Emperor Yi Evil Spirit.
“I actually don’t care whether you meant it or not, and I’ll definitely let you know that it’s indeed your honor to refine with me in the future.”
Pausing for a short while, Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re Emperor Yi, aren’t you? As long as you follow my orders, I’ll give you a lot of saint souls to make you stronger instead of killing you, and you might stand a chance to become a supreme saint again. Now, give me half of your soul spirit.”
“If I give you half of my soul spirit, you can annihilate me at any time,” said the Emperor Yi Evil Spirit.
The Buddha light gathered toward Zhang Ruochen’s palm, then he said, “I can annihilate you right now.”
The Emperor Yi Evil Spirit was rendered speechless, and after a while, it took out half its soul spirit and formed a black oval-shaped ball, handing it to Zhang Ruochen.
The Emperor Yi Evil Spirit’s force was reduced by half. It had originally rivaled a creature that was a sixth-step saint king, but now, it was barely a sixth-step saint king.
Zhang Ruochen took the soul spirit ball, nodded, and left the dark world.
“As long as I have the other half of its soul spirit, I don’t ever need to worry about being bitten back. I can now allow it to swallow and refine Amber Ash’s saint soul.”
Without communicating with Amber Ash, he took away one percent of the amber soul mist under Universe World and infused it into the Emperor Yi Bone Staff.
Although it was only one percent, the mind power inside was still very powerful. Zhang Ruochen and the Emperor Yi Evil Spirit needed to team up to suppress it.
The amber soul mist permeated the inner space of this dark world, and the Emperor Yi Evil Spirit couldn’t completely swallow and refine it yet.
Seizing this chance, Zhang Ruochen took out Saint Monk Xumi’s long whisker, which was three feet long and glowed with white light, spreading vigorous Buddhist power.
Zhang Ruochen found an independent space inside the long whisker when he first touched it, but because Thousand Star Maiden was there, he didn’t get in to inspect the inner space.
“I can’t even imagine which level Saint Monk Xumi’s cultivation has reached. Even a whisker can breed a small world.”
Zhang Ruochen vanished and entered the mini world in the long whisker.
Whoosh!
At the next moment, Zhang Ruochen came to a long and narrow world with sky and land, and it could absorb the saint Qi outside the whisker.
It took Zhang Ruochen half an hour to get to the other end of the mini world.
“Three thousand six hundred miles.”
Zhang Ruochen looked up and used his Heavenly Eyes to stare at the sky where he saw countless time rules and space rules.
“It’s indeed a mini world made of time rules and space rules. My Way of Time and Way of Space will definitely surge after comprehending the rules here.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.
Suddenly, he sensed a vague but familiar feeling as if something was summoning him from underground.
That feeling got stronger and stronger.
Bang!
Ten feet away from Zhang Ruochen, the ground suddenly cracked, and a blue lotus seed flew out, floating in the air like a blue moon, glowing with blue light and shining upon the entire mini world.
The lotus seed was vivid, and its light made the world blossom with lotuses, giving out mesmerizing fragrance.
“Where did that lotus seed come from?”
Zhang Ruochen raised his hand, and the blue lotus seed flew onto his palm, and all the light went away.
Zhang Ruochen studied the blue lotus seed carefully, and he found robust vigor inside the seed, but aside from that, there was nothing special about it.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the mini world with the lotus seed and opened the formation around the weapon-refining pavilion, asking the Amazing Little Taoist and Blackie to come.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I just obtained a very special valuable, and I want to check its power.”
“Valuable? What valuable?”
Blackie’s eyes gleamed. It clenched its claw and couldn’t wait to see it.
Zhang Ruochen opened his hand, and the blue lotus seed floated on his palm, which was greener and more glittery than jade.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Do you want to cut off your heads? I’ll see whether I can grow them back or not.”
The Amazing Little Taoist immediately ran away as it reckoned that Zhang Ruochen at least wanted its leg, if not its head.
