Xuanyuan Law King and Wen Lanxin didn't dare to use their full strength, fearing that they would disperse the fierce ghost, but also worried that the other party would seize the opportunity to capture the fierce ghost soldier. This kind of Ghost King-level soldier, if absorbed by oneself, or refined into a magic treasure, or erased of its divine consciousness using demonic secret methods and cultivated into a clone, its power would be unmatched. Just now, that one blow was equivalent to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! The two were at a loss for what to do next, and could only gradually increase the pressure!
Kill! Kill! Kill! The headless soldier's mind seemed to be unclear, with only a surge of killing intent left in his heart, acting completely on instinct. But this also added to the ferocity and overbearing aura. After a series of furious roars, three loud bellows erupted from his chest cavity, causing the entire Sima Dao to shake as if it were about to collapse! Boom! Zhou Qing only felt an enormous surge of death-filled energy bursting forth from beneath the ground, converging onto the headless soldier's body. The dark soul-infused bronze halberd suddenly expanded tenfold, resembling a giant mountain axe from afar. The originally oppressive atmosphere that was about to crush him with Blood Hand and Mo Shen suddenly ballooned outward, actually repelling Mo Shen and Blood Hand by a small margin!
But Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin were of such strength, both being top-notch masters of their time. Even if the four great masters were to come together, they might not be a match for these two. The fierce ghost's dark soul was equivalent to a mid-stage Houtian master, but compared to the four great masters, it was still somewhat inferior. Even with the ability to mobilize the earth's dead energy to increase its strength, it would still be insufficient. After a brief pause, Xue Shou and Mo Shen pressed down again, their powerful auras clashing and emitting a dull, muffled sound. The enlarged bronze halberd gradually shrank back, and even the four shooting cold lights dimmed significantly. It was a desperate situation! A sense of despair suddenly filled the entire Sima Dao. The headless soldier's dark soul saw that it was futile to struggle, so it gathered all its ghostly energy and self-destructed in a burst of fury. Rather than surrender, it would rather be destroyed! Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin had calculated everything, but they had overlooked this move. They both retreated dozens of meters away to avoid being affected by the dark soul's self-destruction.
"All heavens, evil spirit! Distressed!" Twelve golden command flags suddenly appeared in mid-air. Zhou Qing could no longer hold back. Since you don't want it, I'll take it! Not pretending to be polite, he fully mobilized the true yuan within his body, with the help of Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin, two great masters. His golden silkworm broke through to four wings, and his true yuan was extremely powerful. With the exquisite array method, he tightly wrapped the ball of yin soul ghost energy in the array. A long cry sounded, and the Blood God Knife flew out of his body, directly entering the array and stabbing into the ball of ghost energy, sucking it dry like a whale drinking water!
"Six Paths of Soul Refining! Return to the Origin!" Amidst Xuan Yuan's and Wen Lan's astonished gazes, Zhou Qing rapidly changed his incantation, causing the Blood Spirit Knife to quiver. A small, pigeon-egg-sized bead emitting soft white light was spat out from the double-headed wolf's mouth on the knife handle, slowly flying towards Zhou Qing's brow before seeping into it.
After death, the soul can still linger in the mortal world, and none of them are not strong-willed individuals. Especially the soldiers of Qin Huang Da Di, they do not respect heaven and earth! They do not worship ghosts and gods! They only worship their king! They only obey orders! After many years of war and slaughter, they have honed their will and spirit to be unyielding! Zhou Qing, with the help of the Huaxue Shengdao, forcibly stripped away the brutal and ferocious energy from the soldier's yin soul, leaving behind a pure spiritual will.
Monks of past and present, whether cultivating the body or spiritual power, or both, ultimately cultivate form and spirit. Those who cultivate the body draw in the primordial energy of heaven and earth to refine their physical bodies. Those who cultivate spiritual power temper their will, train their minds, and are different from those who cultivate the body. Cultivators of spiritual power cannot rely on external help, but can only use various secret methods to painstakingly train their minds, seeking to condense their thoughts into a tangible form that can harm or defeat others. Further, they may achieve immortality, existing forever in heaven and earth. Those who cultivate the body have visible results, although slow, yet progress gradually. Spiritual power is intangible and elusive, making it the most difficult to cultivate.
The Way of Heaven is to subtract from those who have excess and add to those who are insufficient. The Way of Demons, on the other hand, is exactly opposite, going against the natural order. After researching, the ancient Demon Dao masters created a method to forcibly seize and merge others' divine thoughts into their own being. Although this cultivation method is rapid, it also has its drawbacks. The spiritual thoughts and one's own divine wisdom are never separated, collectively known as the soul. To merge someone else's spiritual thoughts into oneself, one must necessarily strip away the other person's divine consciousness. Since ancient times, the Demon Dao methods for stripping away the soul's divine consciousness have been as numerous as the grains of sand in a river, too many to count. However, the number of techniques that can cleanly strip away the divine consciousness is probably less than the number of fingers on one hand. It's like modern water purification, where it's impossible to completely remove all impurities, and some always remain. Occasionally swallowing them down is no big deal, but doing so for a long time means that the foreign divine thoughts will linger within oneself, interfering with one's willpower. Even the most resolute cultivators, when faced with the endless, ceaseless interference of foreign divine consciousness day and night, will at the very least suffer from mental fragmentation.
The Dahua Blood God Knife's internal array, the Doutian God Killing Array, is a technique that can be accomplished within this short period of time. It responds to the soul and spirit, filtering through the large array, separating the divine consciousness, death energy, and violent energy, leaving not even half a point behind, only retaining the purest spiritual origin, powerful and unyielding willpower!
Zhou Qing obtained this very powerful spiritual will, and the Lingtai eyebrow heart suddenly had a faint swelling sensation. He hastily divided out a part of it and merged it into his second yuan Shen. Zhou Qing closed his eyes, his divine sense scanning, the entire Sima Dao's situation was clear at a glance. His spiritual willpower increased by more than double compared to before, although not as condensed as Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's, it far surpassed that of an ordinary Huashen master.
"Kid! You've got a better deal than us, don't complain in front of the old ancestor again. What a pity! If I had subdued you and refined you into a clone, that would have been another loyal mid-stage Nascent Soul under my command. The way you're doing things is simply a waste of heaven's gift!" Although Xuan Yuan Fa Wang kept saying what a pity, he didn't regret it. If he let the yin soul truly self-destruct, then nothing would be gained, and Zhou Qing wouldn't have gotten a good deal either. However, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang was angry at Wen Lan Xin for robbing him, if not for considering the opponent, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang would have already taken back that fierce military soul!
Wen Lanxin and his idea were also unique, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both of them were unruly and unyielding, one was a thousand-year-old demon who had once commanded all the demons in the world, and the other was a master of magic, the leader of the magical world. Where is the reason to yield to each other? It's likely that if they disagree on one word, they will turn against each other!
Zhou Qing was in a good mood, having gained an advantage. Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, he naturally knew why: "You two, this place is extremely dangerous, and even a small vengeful spirit has such strength. It's better not to fight among yourselves! With millions of military spirits, there are plenty to go around, and it's not like we're lacking one or two. The situation at Sima Daozhong has already calmed down, so let's hurry up and get out of here before things get complicated!" Although Zhou Qing wouldn't mind if the two of them ended up killing each other and burying themselves in this place, he was afraid that if they really started fighting, the aftermath would be more than he could handle. Moreover, without the help of the two, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Qing to slaughter a few military spirits and absorb their spiritual energy. It was even possible that he might end up being devoured himself! With each increase in his spiritual energy, Zhou Qing's control over the Blood God Knife became more agile and effortless. Now, he seemed to be subtly taking sides, so he stepped forward to mediate:
