Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Unity of the Divine Spirit, the Supreme Great Dao!

Jiang Jichen had an epiphany, and his soul began to transform.

At this moment, being chewed by Purple Sun’s soul, his consciousness was on the verge of fading away.

He would then truly become pure Soul Power, to be absorbed by Purple Sun’s soul.

But how could Jiang Jichen be willing to be devoured just like that?

’The opponent can devour me, so why can’t I devour him?’

Besides, he now held an undying conviction and had just experienced a great epiphany.

Most importantly, he possessed a mysterious, mutated soul. How could he possibly be destroyed so easily?

A whirlwind of defiance and undying resolve intertwined, causing Jiang Jichen’s soul to tremble violently.

Purple Sun had been chewing on Jiang Jichen’s soul, about to completely erase his consciousness, when he suddenly felt an astonishingly powerful awareness surge into his own Sea of Consciousness.

’He wants... to fight me with his spiritual will? And even clash souls? An insignificant ant, wanting to overturn the universe? How laughable!’

Purple Sun instantly understood what this tiny soul wanted to do.

’He’s defiant. He’s struggling. He wants to fight me...’

’Laughable. Delusional!’

"Originally, I was going to leave a wisp of your Divine Sense intact. But since you’re seeking your own doom... I’ll just have to turn you to dust!"

Purple Sun’s soul spoke, his voice chilling.

Jiang Jichen’s soul was far weaker than Purple Sun’s. Having been chewed on, it had already grown very faint.

But his will to fight, his undying will, was incredibly strong.

Though his soul was incredibly weak, a continuous thread of life force within it kept him from simply collapsing.

Jiang Jichen’s Sound of the Soul rang out proudly. "A true warrior would rather fight to the death than live in disgrace!"

"So what if I’m turned to dust?"

"One should live to fight with abandon and live with abandon!"

"Come! In this battle, all I seek is a good fight... What does life or death matter?"

At this moment, Jiang Jichen cast aside all thoughts of life and death, seeking only to stake everything on this one chance.

On the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as seeking stability.

If one only seeks stability, without a heart that strives, without the will to fight, without the great courage to sacrifice oneself for the Dao...

...how could one ever hope to rise to the top on this vast path of cultivation?

How could one carve out a bloody path amidst the cruel law of the jungle?

How...

At this moment, all of Jiang Jichen’s emotions coalesced into a torrent of will, recklessly crashing into his opponent’s conscious space.

This was... a duel of wills!

Moreover, his soul, which had been swallowed, condensed into a miraculous arrow of light, pierced through his opponent’s head, and shot straight out.

This was... a clash of souls!

Although he was very weak, Jiang Jichen was willing to fight.

He would rather seek survival in battle than perish in tranquility!

This was Jiang Jichen’s will. Though weak, it possessed a tenacity that knew no despair, that would not perish.

Purple Sun’s soul, momentarily careless, had never imagined his opponent could actually fight back.

BOOM!

His Sea of Consciousness shuddered and his soul’s head was pierced—something he had never even considered possible.

In his mind, no matter how that weak little soul struggled, it would change nothing. It couldn’t even stir a single ripple.

But... the result was clearly not what he had expected.

He sensed from that small soul... an immortal aura, and another trace of an aura that actually made his own spiritual will tremble.

’For something to suppress my spiritual will, there are only two possibilities!’

’One: their Soul Realm is far above mine.’

’Two: their Soul Grade is far above mine.’

’Their Soul Realm is far weaker than mine, so there can be only one explanation: their Soul Grade is far, far above my own!’

’But... how is that possible?’

He, Purple Sun, was an eternal, peerless prodigy of the Southern Continent. He possessed the Golden Sun Soul, one of the few Supreme Tier Divine Souls in existence.

’In all the world, who could possibly suppress my soul?’

’Well, that despicable Dark Creature was one, but how could this tiny soul before me be another?’

’Laughable! Impossible! I don’t believe it!’

Purple Sun’s soul, as if possessed, attacked again in a furious rage.

This time, he would obliterate his opponent’s Divine Sense and devour every last scrap of his Soul Power.

"Die!"

The will of the Golden Sun Soul condensed into an invisible storm that swept toward the Sea of Consciousness within Jiang Jichen’s soul.

At the same time, Purple Sun’s soul transformed into a brilliant golden greatsword, slashing through the void at Jiang Jichen’s soul.

This was... an Ultimate Kill!

It was unavoidable. The only option was to face it head-on!

’In a life-and-death duel, the brave prevail... In a life-and-death duel, the strong prevail... Both were possible. Right now, Jiang Jichen was betting on the brave.’

And so, fearless and undaunted... he met the attack head-on!

He silently circulated the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique. His mind held an undying will. Deep within his mutated soul, a dim, seven-colored point of light suddenly flared to life.

And then, two wills and two souls collided!

BOOM!

One, incomparably powerful; the other, fearlessly brave.

One, a Golden Sun Soul; the other, a mutated soul!

Their collision stirred a monstrous storm in their respective Seas of Consciousness, threatening to annihilate everything.

But Purple Sun’s soul was immensely powerful. In an instant, an endless torrent of brilliant golden light submerged Jiang Jichen.

Heaven and earth were filled with golden light. Jiang Jichen’s soul was nowhere to be seen.

"You overestimate yourself. An ant trying to shake a tree. Ignorant and laughable!"

Purple Sun’s majestic voice rang out. He believed Jichen was already in Annihilation, truly turned into the Void, no longer existing!

Because he could no longer feel Jiang Jichen’s soul aura.

However, just as Purple Sun’s voice faded, an even grander voice reverberated between heaven and earth. "I wonder who is truly the ignorant and laughable one!"

The voice seemed to come from everywhere at once, its source impossible to pinpoint.

And Purple Sun—how could he not recognize Jiang Jichen’s voice?

His expression changed drastically. He couldn’t believe it, thinking he must have misheard.

’How did that insignificant soul survive my Strongest attack?’

No sooner had this doubt arisen than he suddenly saw threads of Seven-Color begin to drift through the air.

They were like dandelion seeds floating on the wind, searching for a home!

They were everywhere.

That was... Seven-Colored Soul Power!

At this moment, Purple Sun was truly shaken. He felt as if he were witnessing a legend, something that shouldn’t exist even in myth.

’But it... it’s right in front of me!’

"Impossible, impossible, impossible..."

Purple Sun muttered to himself like a madman, completely unable to accept what he was seeing.

And at that moment, the ethereal, seven-colored threads filling the world suddenly converged on Purple Sun’s soul. They gathered at an unimaginable speed, instantly engulfing him.

Then... they began to devour him!

The Seven-Colored Soul Power instantly devoured Purple Sun’s soul, then coalesced into the form of Jiang Jichen.

Thus, Jiang Jichen was reborn from the Seven-Colored Soul Power, and Purple Sun’s soul was devoured and destroyed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At the same time, the mummified corpse outside exploded.
