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

Su Jie stood still, without moving.

He looked at the dragon's eternal form rushing towards him, then at the remnant soul floating in the distance, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

One punch.

It was done casually, without any preamble.

His powerful combat strength as a seventh-tier invincible supreme being was unleashed without reservation at this moment, colliding with the eternal claws of the dragon race.

The dragon's eternal vertical pupils widened suddenly.

His own strength was like that of an ant before him; his claws shattered, his arms exploded, and his chest collapsed.

From fist to head, inch by inch, it turned to dust. From start to finish, it didn't even take a breath.

The top-grade innate treasure armor he wore couldn't withstand Su Jie's fist for even a moment before it shattered into pieces along with its owner.

Su Jie's current normal combat strength is 4200 constant power. A 100-constant power bonus? In the face of an absolute power difference, it's nothing but a joke.

Su Jie withdrew his fist and watched as the headless corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The Soul-Devouring Pearl within his body glowed with an eerie light, swallowing the eternal remnant soul of the dragon along with those scattered fragments of its soul essence in one gulp.

He turned around and looked at the lingering soul floating in mid-air.

The remnant soul was completely stunned. Its cloudy old eyes were wide open, and its mouth opened and closed like a fish that had been thrown ashore.

He wanted to say something, but could only make a "ho ho" sound.

A plan spanning two centuries, carefully selected prey, and meticulously designed traps.

He thought he had made perfect plans, that he could finally be reborn, and that he could make a comeback.

Then, Su Jie shattered all of His illusions with a single punch.

"You...you..."

The remnant soul's voice trembled. It subconsciously took a step back, then suddenly realized something, and a mad flash appeared in its cloudy old eyes.

"You think you've won?"

He opened his arms, and the World Tower flew up and hung above his head.

The dark golden tower body suddenly unfolded, and all nine floors lit up simultaneously. The pressure of this peak innate treasure was like a tangible mountain, pressing down on the entire space.

"Although I no longer have a physical body, I can still control this supreme innate treasure."

His voice suddenly rose, carrying a madness that had been suppressed for two hundred epochs.

"Ten thousand units of force! Can you withstand that?!"

The runes on the tower flickered wildly, and a terrifying power surged out of the tower, pouring into the remnant soul.

The aura of the remnant soul surged at a visible speed, from as faint as a candle flame to as blazing as the sun.

With ten thousand constant forces, plus the power of his remnant soul, although not as great as in life, he was confident that he could crush all supreme beings.

Su Jie looked at the swelling remnant soul and the World Exquisite Tower floating above his head, his expression unchanged.

He simply raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and the Soul-Devouring Pearl emerged from his palm. The grayish pearl hung in mid-air, its eerie light swirling.

The remnant soul controlled the World Exquisite Tower, and the pressure of the peak innate treasure pressed down on the entire space like a tangible mountain. The addition of ten thousand constant forces caused its aura to surge to near madness.

"Now, what do you have to fight me with?!" His voice was sharp and piercing, carrying the madness suppressed for two hundred epochs.

After clicking his tongue twice, Su Jie directly activated the Soul Devouring Pearl.

With a gentle turn of the bead, the devouring power targeting the soul's origin surged out silently like an invisible tide, directly locking onto the remnant soul suspended within the World Exquisite Tower.

The World Tower trembled violently, its runes flashing wildly, as if in resistance or in mourning.

However, the Devouring Power of the Soul-Devouring Bead ignores all material defenses, penetrating the rune defenses directly and advancing unimpeded.

The remnant soul of the first tower master trembled violently. He felt an irresistible force binding him, like an invisible hand grasping the very foundation of his existence.

He wanted to struggle, to escape into the World Exquisite Tower, to hide in the Soul Tempering Mirror, but that power was too strong, so strong that even his remnant soul couldn't muster the thought of resistance.

"No--!"

He let out a mournful roar, and his body began to twist and elongate, turning into a gray-white stream of light, which was swallowed whole by the Soul-Devouring Pearl.

The World Exquisite Pagoda lost control, the runes on its body instantly went out, and it fell from mid-air, crashed to the ground, bounced twice, and rolled to Su Jie's feet.

The last trace of consciousness of that remnant soul dissipated within the Soul-Devouring Pearl.

Su Jie retrieved the Soul-Devouring Pearl, glanced down at the World Exquisite Pagoda at his feet, and casually put it into his system space.

But he didn't rush to leave. He closed his eyes and sank his mind into the depths of the Soul-Devouring Pearl.

Inside the pearl's space, the remnant soul of the first tower master, the eternal remnant soul of the dragon race, and the fragments of the soul essence extracted from the bodies of the eighty-three supreme beings were all piled together, like a nebula compressed to its limit.

It was cyan, even faintly tinged with blue, the color of the eternal flame of the first tower master, the highest quality soul essence Su Jie had ever seen.

"Refine it." Su Jie thought to himself.

The Soul-Devouring Pearl shone brightly, and a terrifying refining power enveloped the nebula.

Those fragments of the soul's origin were like ice and snow meeting the sun, melting, decomposing, and purifying layer by layer, transforming into strands of extremely pure soul energy that surged out from the Soul Devouring Pearl, feeding back into Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness and flowing into his ninth-order peak primordial spirit.

boom!

It was as if a sun had been thrown into Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness.

That soul energy was so pure and of such high quality that his peak ninth-order primordial spirit was like parched land receiving rain after a long drought, frantically and greedily devouring every wisp of energy that surged in.

The barrier of the ninth-tier peak began to loosen in the face of this torrent.

1%...5%...10%...30%...

Su Jie's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was slightly pale.

His primordial spirit was expanding, transforming, and climbing towards a realm that no one had ever touched before.

This ascent is not a gradual quantitative change, but a fundamental leap, from the ninth level to the tenth level, from the "peak" to the "unknown".

Since records began in the Chaos Sea, no living being has ever reached the tenth level of their primordial spirit.

The ninth rank is the ceiling, a primordial spirit level that only the ninth-rank supreme beings can possess. But at this moment, Su Jie is personally breaking through this ceiling.

70%...90%...99%...

Click.

A silent cracking sound exploded deep within Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness, and the ninth-order barrier shattered completely.

A dazzling light shot into the sky from Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness. At this moment, his primordial spirit had transcended the perception range of the existing rules of the Chaos Sea.

Tenth-order primordial spirit.

This is the first one in the countless epochs of the Chaos Sea.

Su Jie opened his eyes, and deep within them seemed to be a galaxy flowing, yet also seemed to be nothing at all.

His perception underwent a qualitative change at this moment. The ninth-order primordial spirit that he previously needed to deliberately spread out could now be seen in its entirety within a radius of tens of millions of light-years.
