Translator: Silavin The Dragon Roar shook Heaven and Earth. Its might struck fear into the hearts of others. Just how terrifying it was, only An Huaming standing nearby knew most clearly. What kind of phantom manifestation was exactly that. Although blurry, it still exuded the supreme aura of authority. It was like an Emperor, a Deity from ancient times, giving others an insurmountable impact when viewed by their naked eyes. Bang! In just one encounter, An Huaming saw An Ranyun fly backwards, his arm shattered, blood spraying, dyeing his vision red. He wanted to shout, wanted to flee, but found he could not even open his mouth, nor move his feet. Fear penetrated his Soul; he felt as if the entire space was pressing down on him, making even his breathing stop. “How is this possible!?” Looking at Qin Yichen walking toward him step by step, An Ranyun’s eyes were filled with terror. He would never forget that kind of pressure. Under that pressure, he felt like an ant before Qin Yichen. It was because of that intense mental impact that he hesitated for a second, and that already spelled his defeat. “What kind of Martial Soul is that!? How can it be so powerful!?” Suddenly, he recalled the soul-striking roar from earlier, and his pupils suddenly dilated, “Dragon…” He remembered the Patriarch’s instructions. He remembered what the Eight Millennial Families were all searching for. Finally, the curve of his lips turned bitter. He never imagined that his Family had already incurred such deep enmity with the Dragon Martial Soul cultivator. He was no longer worried about himself, but about his entire Family! Crack! He wanted to cry out in alarm, wanted to warn others, but Qin Yichen had already crushed his chest with one step. Soon, white Yuan Energy like white flames burned him into nothing. A Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert, dead! An Huaming stared blankly at all this, then watched helplessly as Qin Yichen came over and took his life. Thud. After dealing with the two, Qin Yichen’s pupils slowly returned to normal, then his vision went black and he fell straight down. Soon, a carriage drove up, a woman stepped down, and after a slight start, helped him into the carriage and took him back to the Alchemy Tower. Everything that happened here, no one saw, no one knew. Qin Yichen remained unconscious for a full five days before hazily waking up. Opening his eyes, he saw Alchemy Tower Elder Xiao Lin. Only after inquiring did he learn that he had collapsed by the roadside that day, and Bian Lingzhu had picked him up. “What exactly happened?” Elder Xiao Lin asked, but Qin Yichen just shook his head, not wanting to speak. It was not because he did not trust Elder Xiao Lin, but because he did not want to drag him into this whirlpool too. After all, he was now facing a Millennial Family. With the methods a Millennial Family could employ, how could they not have people inside the Alchemy Tower? He did not want to implicate Elder Xiao Lin into this mess. “Rest well, don’t think about other things. No one dares to do anything to you here.” After giving these instructions, Elder Xiao Lin left Qin Yichen alone in the room. “What happened?” Actually, Qin Yichen was also hazy about the whole situation. He was not very clear about what happened afterward. First, he looked into his Dantian. The Martial Body Bead was still in a broken state, covered in cracks. It was like a glass ball that would shatter at the slightest touch. The Martial Body Bead not completely shattering had greatly surprised Qin Yichen. [Must be due to the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl, that had always stayed uninvolved!] Right now, a strange energy flowed from the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl, enveloping his Martial Body Bead. That strange energy was like silk threads, and looking closer, it seemed to have shapes, each one like a swimming Dragon. Under the wrapping of this strange energy, the Martial Body Bead that should have shattered, not only remained intact but after so many days of maintenance, actually showed signs of slowly healing. “This…” Qin Yichen was dumbfounded. Even with all his vast knowledge, he had never heard of anything that could reconstruct a partially shattered Martial Body Bead. This kind of thing was unheard of, not only in this era, but even ten thousand years into the future. “The Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl actually has such an effect?!” Looking at the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl emitting a faint glow, Qin Yichen’s eyes were full of shock, his feelings were indescribable. It seemed like paying such a huge price to obtain the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl back then was completely worth it. The Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl truly had the power to steal Heaven and Earth’s creations! If the Martial Body Bead had shattered this time, Qin Yichen really would not have known how to continue on his path. Would he have to repeat the tragedy of his previous life? Whew… Since his Martial Body Bead had not shattered, Qin Yichen sighed in relief, but thinking about what happened afterward, his brows furrowed. Later… Although he did not remember everything that had happened, some memory fragments floated in his mind. He had killed the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert, An Ranyun! “At that time…” Qin Yichen tried hard to recall the scene from then, only remembering that the Spirit God Technique and Spirit Body Technique seemed to operate simultaneously, and at the same frequency. “That’s impossible, right?” Thinking of a certain possibility, even Qin Yichen himself found it hard to believe. With his current ability, killing a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert was absolutely impossible, unless… he was a Heavenly Martial Artist! Because, vaguely, he had heard a Dragon Roar! This also meant he had activated his Martial Soul! Martial Soul, Attribute, Spiritual Energy combined, that equaled the legendary Heavenly Martial Artist! When this happened, he discovered that his Physique had broken through past the third level of Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm, reaching Early Stage Spirit Realm! Though temporary, it was a fact that his Physique was now as though it was in the Spirit Realm! Spirit Realm Spiritual Energy, plus Spirit Realm Physique, plus his special Yuan Energy. Once he transformed into a Heavenly Martial Artist, killing a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert no longer seemed to be a problem. “Where’s my Martial Soul?” Qin Yichen searched, but inside his body, Dantian, Knowledge Sea, there was no trace of a Martial Soul, making him wonder if he was hallucinating. He had not encountered Soul Martial Artists before, so naturally he did not know what forms Martial Souls existed. He did know that Martial Souls could be nourished by Beast Souls though. Of course, not any Beast Soul could nourish them – for example, a Soul Martial Artist with a Tiger Martial Soul could only be nourished by Tiger Type Beast Souls. But the problem was, Qin Yichen could not even figure out what his Martial Soul was, nor find its exact location. When his gaze fell on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl and he examined it carefully, he discovered that the originally glowing Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl had actually dimmed. “Could it be…” Qin Yichen’s attention finally focused on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl he had never paid much attention to before. The Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl was still greyish, with occasional glimmers of light, exuding an ancient aura.
