Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 31 Advanced True Essence
"My cultivation is about to break through... After a warrior suffers a desperate blow, he can actually reach a bottleneck!"

At the back mountain of the Ye family’s land, Ye Xuan came to the top of the mountain, stood resolutely, and looked at the starry night sky with an indifferent expression.

"Boom!" At this moment, the vitality of heaven and earth suddenly surged in from all directions, and with the mountain as the center, it began to rotate and roar, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of one hundred feet in the sky, which completely absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth within a mile radius, shocking the nearby Ye family warriors.

They all walked out of the room at the same time, looking towards the mountain where the strange phenomenon occurred. There, the energy of heaven and earth was spinning violently, pouring down to the mountain top below like a funnel!

Regardless of age, all the warriors of the Ye family knew at this time that this astonishing scene of heaven and earth could only appear when the warriors broke through to a great realm.

The Ye family will have one more warrior in the Zhenyuan realm!

Some warriors in the Qi Condensation Realm, especially those who were stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, were all envious.

However, when half an incense stick of time had passed, people discovered that the vitality of heaven and earth in the sky did not seem to have decreased and was still gathering towards the top of the mountain. They were all stunned.

"What's going on? How could it possibly require so much energy to break through the True Essence Realm?"

Ye Hai rushed towards the top of the mountain with a gloomy face. He was a clan guard of the Ye family. His generation had been guarding the back mountain of the Ye family. He was the closest to the mountain, so he was the fastest to reach the top.

But when Ye Hai reached the top of the mountain and saw the person who had made a breakthrough, he was shocked.

"Ye Xuan!" Ye Hai exclaimed as he looked at the young man bathed in the energy of heaven and earth. He saw silver lightning flashing wildly around Ye Xuan, and countless crystal energy moths flying around him. He was emitting a strange state of fluctuation!

Ye Hai's arrival was like throwing a stone into calm water, causing invisible ripples. Ye Xuan, who was originally looking at the starry sky, slowly turned his head to look at Ye Hai. In his eyes, a light gray pentagram slowly rotated!
boom!
It was just a casual glance, indifferent and unremarkable, but in Ye Hai's eyes, it was like a flash of lightning. In an instant, he was frozen there, motionless.

Ye Hai was horrified. What kind of gaze was this? The moment Ye Xuan looked at him, he felt as if his whole body, including his flesh and blood, was seen through by Ye Xuan in an instant. Moreover, at this moment, the vitality in his body was no longer under his control. It flowed out of his body along with his gaze and was captured into Ye Xuan's eyes.

"What kind of power is this!!!" Ye Hai was extremely shocked. He found that not only his body, but even his gaze could not move at all!
Ye Hai frantically circulated the energy in his body, trying desperately to resist the strange outflow of energy. Sweat covered his whole body and soaked his clothes.

In Ye Hai's understanding, not to mention the True Yuan Realm, even the strong ones in the True Spirit Realm could not give him such terrible pressure without even a glance, not to mention this weird leakage of Yuan power!

"This...what kind of ability is this? I can't even control the energy in my body!" Ye Hai was terrified. Just when he didn't know what to do, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze from him.

At this moment, the pentagram in Ye Xuan's pupils was receiving the infusion and baptism of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Before that, Ye Xuan's reincarnation martial soul and the silver dragon had been infused and baptized by the essence of heaven and earth, and successfully evolved into true essence realm martial souls. As long as this pentagram was also baptized successfully, he would become a true essence realm warrior.

The attack on Ye Hai just now was not intentional. With the infusion of huge energy from heaven and earth, the pentagram was completely in a fully open state.

Ye Hai's exclamation made him subconsciously look in the direction of the sound, but he didn't expect that the pentagram was driven by a huge amount of vital energy, and its power was greatly enhanced. With the interaction with the reincarnation martial soul in his body, it actually followed Ye Hai's gaze, drew the vital energy out of Ye Hai's body, and introduced it into its own body.

Ye Xuan was surprised and delighted by this situation. He felt that he had grasped something. It was about the relationship between his reincarnation martial soul and other martial souls obtained after devouring it.

"My own reincarnation martial soul has also devoured the martial souls of many warriors, but why did I get this pentagram and that silver dragon?" Ye Xuan pondered in his heart.

It is mentioned in the Martial Soul Record that those who can awaken two martial souls in the Tianwu Continent are considered top geniuses. However, Ye Xuan knows that the pentagram and silver dragon martial souls he swallowed are not his true martial souls, but sub-souls derived from the reincarnation martial soul!
That's right, in Ye Xuan's opinion, it was the Samsara Martial Soul that devoured the martial souls of other warriors and derived a sub-martial soul! When he used this sub-martial soul, he could indeed activate and control it through the soul power of the Samsara Martial Soul.

On the top of the mountain, Ye Xuan's martial arts aura continued to rise, and an aura that only a True Yuan Realm warrior possessed gradually appeared on him.

The vital energy in Ye Xuan's Danhai was also changing rapidly, constantly compressing, and was about to become liquid.

The biggest feature of advancing from the Qi Condensation Realm to the True Yuan Realm is that the Yuan Qi turns into liquid!
"What kind of ability did he have just now!?" Ye Hai, who was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm, was now covered in cold sweats and felt exhausted. At this moment, more than half of the energy in his body had disappeared.

"Too scary! What...what kind of look is that? Is he really breaking through the True Essence Realm?"

Ye Hai's face was pale. He had no doubt that if Ye Xuan had looked at him a little longer, all his energy would have been sucked away by him.

Even the martial soul in his body seemed to be about to leave his body!
At this time, a large number of Ye family members rushed onto the mountain road, looking at Ye Xuan under the huge vortex of vital energy with surprise.

"Ah!" A clear shout suddenly came out of Ye Xuan's mouth at this moment, and with a "bang", the vortex of vitality in the sky completely collapsed.

The disordered vital energy floated down, faintly reflecting crystal points of light, which scattered around Ye Xuan's body. It was extremely beautiful and made him look a little mysterious.

"Is this the power of breaking through to the True Yuan Realm? It's indeed powerful!" Feeling the liquefied Yuan Force condensing in his body, Ye Xuan clenched his fists with a grim expression.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had already entered the True Yuan Realm! He now felt like he could break the sky with one punch and crush a planet with one foot. Of course, this was just an illusion of a sudden increase in strength, but it was enough to show how powerful he was after entering the True Yuan Realm!
"Sun and Moon Palace, I will go there!"

The pentagram in Ye Xuan's eyes quickly disappeared, and he turned and walked down the mountain.

The members of the Ye family looked at Ye Xuan who was walking towards them and all of them moved aside and made way for the mountain road.

Ye Yu was in the crowd, looking at Ye Xuan in disbelief. She found that she could not see this young man clearly anymore!

"Thank you for saving me. You are really strong and talented. I will practice hard and catch up with you!" Ye Yu felt complicated, thinking of the scene when she once laughed at Ye Xuan.

"I don't want others to know about my affairs." When Ye Xuan walked to Ye Hai's side, he stopped and said.

Ye Hai was previously attacked by Ye Xuan's strange eyes. Now he dared not look at Ye Xuan's eyes again. He lowered his head and quickly assured, "I, I won't tell!"

Ye Hai smiled bitterly. He was really scared. He was really afraid that if he met Ye Xuan's gaze again, his energy would be sucked away. He also knew that what Ye Xuan was talking about was probably the incredible ability to absorb energy.

"Thank you." Ye Xuan smiled slightly. Although he was ready to leave Beidou Town and venture out, he didn't want his ability to absorb other people's energy to be leaked.

It was not until Ye Xuan walked away that Ye Hai raised his head again, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

"Such a strong feeling of oppression, he is such a monster." Ye Hai wiped the cold sweat from his face with a wry smile. He had a feeling that for Ye Xuan to kill him now might be easier than killing a chicken.

"So handsome, so cool. Some time ago, he turned the tables and killed many warriors of the Zhao family. This time, his breakthrough was so extraordinary that it took him three times as long as others to complete the breakthrough. I found that I really fell in love with him!"

Looking at Ye Xuan who was walking down the mountain silently, a chubby little girl in her teens from the Ye family said with stars in her eyes.

"Sister! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell father!" Hearing the little girl's words, a slightly thin boy next to her shouted.

"Hmph, go tell him, you are just jealous of Brother Ye Xuan!" The little girl pouted and said with her hands on her hips.

The young man's mouth twitched twice. In fact, he was quite unhappy. A few months ago, Ye Xuan was not as good as him, but now, Ye Xuan actually broke through to the Zhenyuan realm, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Isn't it just that the time I spend absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth is three times longer than others? At most, the energy in my body is more than others!" the young man muttered.

At this time, the people around were also puzzled as to why Ye Xuan's time to absorb vital energy was three times longer than that of other warriors!
……

As one of the three martial arts families in Beidou Town, the Ye family would often be entrusted with various tasks by other vassal clans. There were many types of tasks, some asking the Ye family warriors to act as guards, some asking the Ye family warriors to escort to safety, and some even asking the Ye family warriors to hunt down enemies. The types of tasks were diverse.

After a while, Ye Xuan arrived at the Ye Family Mission Hall and walked in. Looking around, the hall was very empty, with only a table in the middle, and a middle-aged male warrior in his thirties sitting lazily on a chair behind it.

Ye Xuan slightly sensed that the strength of this middle-aged male warrior had reached the seventh level of the True Yuan Realm.

"Is there any mission?" Ye Xuan asked as he walked to the table.

He is now a warrior in the Zhenyuan realm. It is time for him to leave Beidou Town and venture out into the outside world to see more.

The martial arts in Beidou Town are in decline. Staying here for a long time will only limit my horizons and be detrimental to my martial arts.

However, before leaving, Ye Xuan planned to take on a task and help the Ye family.

"Why are you here to take the mission so late? Take a look for yourself." The middle-aged warrior pointed to the three large books on the table.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan picked up a large book and started flipping through it, and discovered that most of the tasks in it were relatively simple, mostly escorting, gathering intelligence, or hunting down individual Qi Condensation Realm warriors. Qi Condensation Realm warriors could fully handle these tasks, and the rewards were basically less than a hundred silver coins.

Ye Xuan was not interested in these and continued to flip through the pages. Soon, a big blood-red word "Kill" came into his sight.

Mission: Hunt down the evil cultivator - Wang Meng.

Mission Analysis: Wang Meng, a warrior at the third level of Zhenyuan Realm, a fugitive from the Wang family, possessing the powerful bloodline of the Wang family, a second-level pupil soul, and unknown pupil soul skills.

He practiced evil skills, raped and killed many women in the Wang family, and was later expelled from the Wang family.

Reason for the Hunting: Wang Meng gathered a large number of bandits in the western part of Beidou Town. Two months ago, he led a group of bandits to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Jian family in the Beidou Mountains, and raped and killed her. Therefore, the Jian family spent a lot of money to issue a hunting order for him.

Valid for three months

Mission reward: one thousand silver coins.

When Ye Xuan saw this task, he shook his head slightly and was speechless about the Jian family.

For just one thousand silver coins, you want someone to kill a True Yuan Realm Level 3 warrior for you, and a True Yuan Realm warrior with a large group of followers around him. It's obvious that you have no intention of seeking revenge, but...

Ye Xuan tore off this page of tasks and said, "I want to take this task."

"Which mission?" The middle-aged male warrior glanced at it.

"Ah!" But the next moment, when he saw the content of the task clearly, he screamed and looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, "You want to take this task?"

"No way?" Ye Xuan smiled faintly, then turned and walked out the door, leaving the stunned middle-aged male warrior muttering to himself, "Has this kid gone mad because of his emotional blow, or has he been overwhelmed by the sudden surge in strength after advancing to the True Yuan Realm..."

In the eyes of the middle-aged man, Ye Xuan, who had just advanced to the True Yuan Realm, was actually going to challenge a True Yuan Realm warrior who had been famous for many years, and this warrior was accompanied by a group of powerful bandits! This was clearly a rhythm of going to his death!
