High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

boom!

Without any warning, Su Jie's soul power core suddenly boiled over! His level 20 soul power, like a spark ignited, began to operate wildly in an unprecedented way!

"All heavens reflect, open!"

A low roar exploded deep within his soul. In an instant, a vast aura, seemingly from the primordial starry sky, enveloped his sea of ​​consciousness. His soul power fluctuations, divine sense strength, and even the essence of his soul all surged dramatically at that moment!

He broke through his limits and briefly stepped into the terrifying realm of level 21 soul power!

This is his hidden trump card—[Reflection of the Heavens (Fragment)]! All attributes, including soul power, are instantly multiplied!

Facing these two remnant souls of the Celestial Realm who had once overlooked the starry sea, he had no intention of testing them. His first move was an absolute crushing defeat!

"it's over."

In Su Jie's eyes, it seemed as if stars were rising and falling, cold and ruthless. The profound meaning of the three-star soul skill [Silent Star Vortex] that had been instilled by the system was instantly ignited.

His terrifying soul power transformed into the Hand of Annihilation, and he made a grasping motion towards the two terrified remnant souls in front of him, who were filled with horror due to the sudden change in his aura.

"Silence... Starfall".

Om-!

The entire sea of ​​consciousness suddenly darkened, and then, at the core of the Martial Ancestor and the remnant soul of the evil demon, a point of extreme darkness was born.

The darkness instantly expanded, transforming into two miniature, rotating vortexes of stars! Within these vortexes emanated a power of annihilation that made even the very essence of the soul tremble!

"No! What kind of power is this?!"

"A three-star soul skill? That's impossible! How could such a soul skill exist in this world..."

The Martial Ancestor's shock and anger, along with the demons' fear, erupted simultaneously. They desperately activated their remaining source energy, and pale golden divine light and pitch-black demonic energy soared into the sky in an attempt to resist.

But it was all in vain!

Faced with a three-star soul skill driven by level twenty-one soul power, their rootless, drifting souls were like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.

The [Silent Star Vortex] slowly rotated, and wherever it passed, the pale golden divine light silently vanished, and the pitch-black demonic energy instantly dissipated.

The two remnant souls let out their final desperate wails. Their forms were distorted, their consciousness was obliterated, and the most primal bit of holy soul power was forcibly stripped away and devoured by Xingxuan, turning into the purest nourishment.

The starlight slowly dissipated.

The terrifying level 21 soul power aura surrounding Su Jie receded like a tide, and the effect of [Reflection of the Heavens] ended.

However, with the nourishment of those two remnants of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm soul essence, his soul power level has broken through the barrier with unstoppable momentum!

Level 21... Mid-Level 22!

Soul power finally stabilized at the peak of level twenty-two!

Su Jie slowly opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented strength and fullness in his soul, as well as the two fragmented memories in his mind that only retained pure knowledge and experience imprints. He gently exhaled.

Looking at the empty void, Su Jie's lips curled into a cold yet satisfied smile.

"negotiation?"

"Nothing beats the cleanest and most efficient way of crushing it directly."

Su Jie stood high in the void, his soul power contained. His level 22 peak soul power allowed him to perceive the entire "Land of Thousand Stars' Slumber" at an unprecedented microscopic level.

He clearly "senses" that the core supporting the existence of this void relic—the fragile balance formed by the intertwining of thousands of divine treasure realm wills and the remnants of two celestial phenomena souls—is groaning under unbearable pressure because he has removed the most important "load-bearing wall."

"Crack... Boom!"

As if to confirm his perception, the entire Void Ruins suddenly trembled! Fine cracks began to appear on the smooth, mirror-like ground beneath his feet, which reflected starlight.

The thousands of divine bubbles floating above began to ripple and tremble violently, like water with pebbles thrown in!

"What happened?"

"An earthquake? No, it's just spatial instability!"

"How could the secret realm be collapsing so quickly! Run!"

After a brief silence came panicked screams and chaos!

Whether they were still on the steps or geniuses searching for treasures in other parts of the ruins, all of them turned pale, feeling the sense of collapse originating from the very source of the world.

"Buzz—!"

Those who were receiving the inheritance were the first to be affected. The connection between their soul power and the bubbles was forcibly severed, and the backlash caused them to cough up blood and their aura to instantly weaken.

A genius from Zixia Academy, who had just inherited a "Blazing Divine Treasure" and was feeling quite pleased with himself, was swept by the energy turbulence caused by the spatial vibration before he could even savor the thrill of his increased power. Half of his body was instantly charred black, and he screamed as he fell down the steps.

"No! My inheritance!" A disciple of the Overlord Sect who had finally established a resonance with the "Mysterious Ice Divine Treasury" watched helplessly as the light of the icy blue bubble rapidly dimmed amidst the trembling, and even cracks appeared on its surface.

He tried to forcefully stabilize the connection, but was instead devoured by an even more violent icy will, freezing him into an ice sculpture, which then shattered into countless ice blocks amidst the tremors.

The other prodigies also changed their expressions drastically. They barely managed to stabilize themselves with their powerful strength, but when they looked at the fluctuating divine treasure bubbles, their eyes were filled with resentment and horror.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Like a chain reaction, some lower-quality and relatively fragile mortal-level divine treasure bubbles were the first to succumb to the pressure of spatial collapse and burst one after another!

The pure yet chaotic power of the divine treasure scattered like fireworks, further exacerbating the chaos in the space.

"Boom—!"

The entire "Land of a Thousand Stars' Slumber" emitted a dying wail. Vast areas of the void collapsed, and the eerie blue portal, like a candle flickering in the wind, swayed violently and contracted rapidly, on the verge of closing completely.

"The secret realm is about to completely collapse! Run!"

"If we don't leave now, we'll be stuck here forever!"

Panic spread like a plague. All the surviving geniuses, whether they had just received the inheritance or had gained nothing, disregarded everything else and transformed into streaks of light, rushing with all their might toward the only exit.

What divine treasures, what opportunities, all seem insignificant in the face of life and death.

Su Jie's gaze swept over the thousands of divine treasure bubbles that shimmered with various colors of light, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"System, with my current soul power, is it possible to suppress and contain all these bubbles without causing a severe backlash?"

[Ding! Analyzing... Target: Divine Treasure Bubble (Mortal/Spiritual Level), containing a faint residual will. Host's current soul power level: Level 22 (Peak).]

Conclusion: Can perform indiscriminate suppression and forced absorption of soul power across the entire area. Success rate: 99.9%.

"Very good." Su Jie's lips curled into a smile. "Tianming Star's foundation is too weak. These bubbles are just right to give a few to Yang Baichuan and Chen Xiaoyu as gifts."

Side effects? As long as the residual will is erased first, there won't be any side effects after absorption.

With his thoughts racing, Su Jie quickly devised a plan!
