"Again, it's her!" Dugu Yun's face stiffened, and he had forgotten how many times he had encountered Yan Ruyu before. Every time it was a crucial moment, he would often run into Yan Ruyu. She was like a lingering ghost, his arch-nemesis. Whenever it was a critical moment, Yan Ruyu would always interfere! "It's you again!" Dugu Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes spewing fire, filled with anger and hatred, wishing to tear Yan Ruyu into pieces. If his gaze could kill, Yan Ruyu would have been riddled with holes long ago. "How did I run into you again!" "The ghost won't disperse!"
Yan Ruyu, as the villain, complained first, furrowing her brows and looking at Dugu Yun with extreme disdain. Jing Muyu, who was on the side, opened her mouth slightly, feeling dumbfounded. Sister Ruyu, weren't you waiting for him yourself? But... this Dugu Yun is really pitiful! He actually made Sister Ruyu squat down specifically, his fate should be miserable! At the same time... Yan Ruyu reached out first, ready to pick the Soul Rain Flower. She couldn't let Dugu Yun have it! "Put it down!" Seeing Yan Ruyu trying to take away the Soul Rain Flower, Dugu Yun became anxious. This thing was crucial, it was related to the revival of the ancient era, and it couldn't be taken away. If Yan Ruyu took it, he thought it would be unlikely for him to snatch it back. The Soul Rain Flower was extremely rare, and if he missed it this time, he might not see it again in the future. But the gap between the two was too big. Hum. Yan Ruyu didn't even look at the other party, a divine light burst out from her body, black and white intersecting like a true dragon, rushing towards Dugu Yun. Dugu Yun's heart tightened and he quickly avoided the divine light. The black and white divine light pierced through his arm, exploding with a loud bang, blood splattering in the sky. Dugu Yun's heart tightened, realizing the gap between them. As a Great Venerable Realm cultivator, how could he be compared to Yan Ruyu? The other party had killed Ye Qing, the supreme genius, and was also a quasi-saint with the Yin-Yang Saint Body.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was one of the strongest group of geniuses in the Nine Heavens Realm, second only to Jiang Chen. "Disciple, don't panic!" "I'll help you!" Seeing Dugu Yun being overpowered, Cang Lao also became anxious. Perhaps this was his only chance to rebuild his physical body, he couldn't miss it! Even if he had to burn his soul, he would forcibly take the Soul Rain Flower. "Master!" Dugu Yun felt relieved in his heart. Yes, he was no match, but his master should be able to handle it! In an instant... Cang Lao entered Dugu Yun's body, and a powerful aura spread out. This aura was completely different from before. It was the aura of the Saint Realm, although weak, it completely belonged to the Saint Realm. The aura of a Saint. "Girl, hand over the Soul Rain Flower!" Cang Lao's voice sounded faintly, weak but containing immense power. "Dare you be so arrogant with just a wisp of remnant soul?" Yan Ruyu remained indifferent and directly took the Soul Rain Flower. She completely denied Cang Lao any chance! Moreover, she naturally sensed the change in Dugu Yun. This aura was not Dugu Yun's, but someone else's. The aura was extremely weak, probably the remnant soul of a powerful expert! Although she had the assistance of a powerful expert's soul, Yan Ruyu remained calm. At most, it would only elevate Dugu Yun's cultivation to the Saint Realm. "Young people nowadays don't know how to respect the old and care for the young!" Cang Lao sighed. As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding void trembled, like a tide sweeping in. A surging divine light swept over, forming a collection of divine weapons, hanging in the sky like a treasury of divine weapons. The vast cold radiance fell like rain, slanting towards all directions, forming a torrent, filled with killing intent, shaking the heavens and earth. Boom. Yan Ruyu's expression remained calm as she manipulated her hand seals. The vast Yin-Yang Dao erupted, and the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase hung above her head. A powerful aura burst forth, engulfing the surroundings like raging waves and submerging countless divine soldiers.
Swoosh. Yan Ruyu extended a hand, a delicate jade hand emitting a faint glow. It appeared serene, but contained a terrifying killing intent. Hmm! The old man's face turned pale, and the surrounding void became turbulent as his figure continuously shifted. "Can you escape?" An indifferent voice resounded as Yan Ruyu's jade hand pierced through the endless void, slapping down like squashing an ant. Crack. The void shattered, and Dugu Yun's body disintegrated, with boundless Yin-Yang energy surging into the void. Boom. Dugu Yun's divine soul suffered heavy damage and couldn't help but howl in pain. Seeing this, the old man's face sank. If Dugu Yun died in such a miserable state, it would be even more difficult for him to revive in the future. Just then, an ancient ring appeared, emitting a faint light, swallowing their divine souls and tearing through the void. It transformed into a divine light that surged into the endless void. In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared without a trace. Seeing the opponent flee, Yan Ruyu didn't pay any further attention. "Let's go!" "Let's find other opportunities!" While speaking, she pulled Jing Muyu and left. Hmm. Jing Muyu responded and glanced at the devastated ground behind them, unable to help but mutter to herself. Being targeted by Sister Ruyu, this guy is really unlucky. Most likely, he will be crippled. Outside a desolate mountain. The void trembled as a ring flew out, hovering in mid-air. The ancient ring emitted a faint light, and two divine souls slowly emerged. The old man's divine soul was extremely tenacious. As a former Great Saint, even though his divine soul was damaged, it remained strong. However, after using his power just now, his divine soul became increasingly weak. Looking at the weak Dugu Yun beside him, the old man sighed, "I've suffered a great loss!" "All the power I finally recovered has been lost this time!"
He was dumbfounded. All the power he had painstakingly recovered over the years had now been completely lost. Moreover, he was even weaker than before. If he had obtained the Soul Flower, it would have been a different story. But he didn't obtain the Soul Flower, and his divine soul became even weaker. Even Dugu Yun looked miserable. At this moment, Dugu Yun woke up and looked at his sorry state. He turned pale and said, "Master, I feel that my cultivation realm has fallen, and I can't restore my physical body!" Reaching a certain realm, one can be reborn even with just a divine soul. Even if it's only a divine soul, it's still possible. As long as it's not too severe, like the old man, who only has a wisp of remnant soul and needs special methods to restore his origin. Generally, someone like Dugu Yun, who was at the Great Venerable Realm, could do it. However, Yan Ruyu directly obliterated Dugu Yun's divine soul, causing his cultivation realm to plummet. He could no longer use the abilities of the Great Venerable Realm. Now, Dugu Yun had fallen to the Soul Sea Realm. His cultivation realm had once again plummeted, causing Dugu Yun to completely collapse. Last time, in order to restore his cultivation, he had experienced countless dangers and offended numerous forces. It was only after going through countless hardships that he finally reached the ninth level of the Great Venerable Realm. Now, he was back to square one. Years of effort and danger had been in vain, causing Dugu Yun's heart to almost explode. Ah! Painful wails filled the air as Dugu Yun's despair and helplessness overwhelmed him. Witnessing this scene, the old man hesitated, not knowing what to say. At this point, any consolation would be useless for Dugu Yun. Unless he could find a way out himself. Otherwise, he would be completely defeated and become an ordinary being. Suddenly, A sense of urgency surged in the old man's heart, and his spirit immediately entered the ring. After a moment. The void slowly opened up, and Dugu Xiong walked out slowly. With a slender figure and an elegant demeanor, he looked like a teacher!
"It's you!" Seeing Dugu Xiong's arrival, Dugu Yun's expression was blank, without any radiance. "Who hurt you!" Dugu Xiong frowned. He happened to pass by this place and unexpectedly sensed Dugu Yun's aura. And the aura was extremely weak. Especially seeing that Dugu Yun was only at the Soul Sea Realm, Dugu Xiong became even more puzzled. "Yan Ruyu!" "Do you want revenge for me?" Dugu Yun raised his head, his eyes showing a faint glimmer. Like a dying person seeing hope for life. Like the dawn breaking through endless darkness. "I can help you restore your cultivation and physical body." "Your enemies, you solve them yourself!" Dugu Xiong pondered for a moment and said slowly. Originally, he had intended to take care of it, but as soon as he heard the name Yan Ruyu, he immediately gave up. He didn't want to get involved with the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning. It was related to their future plans. If the plan failed because of this, he would be in a difficult position. The Demon Emperor would definitely want to kill him! "So you're also afraid!" Dugu Yun smiled bitterly, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "You don't need to deliberately provoke me. These childish tricks don't work on me!" Dugu Xiong remained calm and said slowly, "If you want to become strong, you must overcome your inner demons. You must face any setbacks without yielding. Only with an indomitable spirit can you reach the end." "Of course, I can help you seek revenge, but what's the point?" "You will ultimately be unable to overcome your inner demons, and be trapped by them, unable to become strong." "You, who cannot become strong, have no use to me. Moreover, I will be targeted by the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning because of these matters, which is not worth it." If it weren't for Dugu Yun having some use, which was related to their future plans, Dugu Xiong wouldn't bother with him. With the Immortal Devouring Heaven Technique, he could still reach such a level.
It was truly unexpected. And not being able to see the situation clearly, he dared to provoke someone from the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, truly ignorant. "Help me restore my body." Dugu Yun pondered for a long time before saying slowly. As the Son of Heaven's Mandate, he did have some redeeming qualities. At least his heart was extremely tenacious, like an indestructible cockroach. Even though there was despair, powerlessness, and even a shattered Dao heart, he quickly recovered. Although afterwards he still did things his own way, considering himself extraordinary. But with this tenacious state of mind, he could go far. After ten days, the plot of the secret realm finally came to an end. ...Flowers please... As the secret realm was thoroughly explored, many cultivators left the secret realm one after another. Some perished inside, some gained great benefits, soaring to new heights and achieving great success. There were also those who gained nothing, although not to the point of death, they lost face. In this secret realm, Yan Ruyu was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence, almost unstoppable, and feared by countless people. Becoming a rising star, illuminating the entire Nine Heavens Realm. Looking down on the younger generation, hailed as the young supreme. He had already reached the level of Huang Qingtian. Although Jing Muyu was not as dazzling as Yan Ruyu, he also rose up. With unparalleled sword aura, he was invincible among his peers. He was also feared by many forces because they saw the shadow of Mu Jianxue from him. He was also a supreme genius about to rise. "This generation of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, what's going on? Monstrous talents keep appearing like bamboo shoots!" "There's the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning, Yan Ruyu, and now there's also the peerless female sword immortal, Jing Muyu?" "It's truly enviable. If Jing Muyu were in any other immortal force, she would definitely be groomed as the successor!" "The three greatest geniuses, is this generation of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning too monstrous?" "The rise of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning cannot be stopped with its great fortune!" All factions were speechless.
Originally, the appearance of one Holy Land of Absolute Beginning was already a cause for concern, but now there's Yan Ruyu as well. Fine. They could tolerate the appearance of Yan Ruyu, as he was once a genius himself. Perhaps his talents were not fully developed, or maybe being in the Hehuan Sect prevented his talents from being fully explored, resulting in him not showcasing his full potential in the past. They could understand all of this. But what's the deal with Jing Muyu? Her talents are not much inferior to Yan Ruyu's, and she is also a young supreme genius. All these monstrous talents that rarely appeared in tens of thousands of years are now gathering in the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning. How are they supposed to compete? Especially the Ancient Royal Clan, they were dumbfounded. They suddenly realized that all the monstrous talents of the Ancient Royal Clan combined were still inferior to the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning. Or rather, they were inferior to Jiang Chen's two followers. Especially knowing that Ziqing Yan is also one of Jiang Chen's followers, even more terrifying than Yan Ruyu. They felt an immense despair and helplessness. The fortune of the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning is too great, it's unfair, they are not given any opportunities. As a result, some geniuses pondered for a long time and decided to close off their divine sources and wait until this era passes. In the next era, perhaps they will have a chance. Even if there is no chance, at least they won't feel so desperate. "Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully acting weak and obtaining the highest-grade Soul Jade!" The prompt sounded once again. Jiang Chen's heart trembled slightly, filled with joy. "The highest-grade Soul Jade, I remember this heavenly treasure can enhance the soul!" "It seems to be very suitable for the Heavenly Fox Empress!" Jiang Chen contemplated. The current Heavenly Fox Empress has already reached the realm of a Red Dust Immortal, but her state of mind temporarily cannot reach that level. Therefore, she needs to experience the mortal world, go through countless lifetimes in the mortal world, and thoroughly temper her own state of mind before she can undergo a transformation and become an immortal. If he were to give the highest-grade Soul Jade to the Heavenly Fox Empress... It's hard to say, it might allow the Heavenly Fox Empress to undergo a complete transformation in a short period of time, consolidate her realm, and completely step into the realm of a Red Dust Immortal. "It seems like this can be done!" Jiang Chen looked at the Heavenly Fox Empress beside him, lost in thought.
If he could let the Heavenly Fox Empress enter the realm of a Red Dust Immortal ahead of time, then in the future, they could walk sideways in the Nine Heavens Realm. The Demon Emperor, the Ancient Supreme, are not worth mentioning. "Not for now!" "Currently, my relationship with the Heavenly Fox Empress is not that close!" "If I let her enter the realm of a Red Dust Immortal, at most we would have a connection, but it would be gone afterwards!" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and gave up directly. His current relationship with the Heavenly Fox Empress is at most that of a lifesaver. If the Heavenly Fox Empress enters the realm of a Red Dust Immortal and completely merges with her previous physical body, it would only mean that she owes him a favor, with no further connection. Once the connection is used up, there will be no relationship between them. And according to the Heavenly Fox Empress's character, once she is no longer bound, she will definitely leave and it will be extremely difficult to have any relationship with her in the future. Especially considering the state of mind of the Empress, it is almost impossible to open her heart. It is more likely for an iron tree to blossom than for this possibility to happen. And now, the Heavenly Fox Empress is in a weak state, and her mind is relatively blank, more innocent. If he cultivates a relationship with her at this time, even if she returns to the realm of the Empress in the future, their relationship will not change. In the original work, why was Dugu Yun able to get close to the Heavenly Fox Empress? It was because he cultivated a deep relationship with her while she was still undergoing trials. Even if she undergoes a complete transformation and steps into the realm of a Red Dust Immortal, the Heavenly Fox Empress will still remember it deeply, and the bond will remain. This is why Dugu Yun accepted the Heavenly Fox Empress. Now that he has this opportunity, he will definitely follow in Dugu Yun's footsteps and leave him with no other choice. Therefore. Jiang Chen decided not to use the highest-grade Soul Jade for now, it would be too wasteful to use it now. Wait until the relationship is cultivated, then let the Heavenly Fox Empress undergo a transformation!
