Huff, huff, huff! The Rebirth Altar seemed endless, constantly attracting large amounts of soul power from the Demon Tribe. These souls varied in strength, with the strongest being comparable to the likes of the Skeleton Helmsman and the Red Flame Demon Lord, who were mid-level Demon Lords. If they were to take over a body and successfully revive, once their cultivation was restored, it would bring a tremendous disaster to the entire Tianwu Continent.
However, this group of strong Demon Tribe members was being frantically devoured, with no power to resist as Lao Yuan consumed them. It was evident to the naked eye that Lao Yuan's aura became increasingly profound; this feast was far more satisfying than decades of hard training, causing his excited eyes to narrow into slits. "Haha, Qin Chen, that little brat, Little Black said that following you would always bring benefits, and I, Lao Yuan, was skeptical before, but now I am completely convinced." Lao Yuan grinned widely, looking as if he had struck it rich, filled with pride.
With the Rebirth Altar continuously drawing in waves of soul power, the aura on the altar rapidly dimmed, indicating that the power was being consumed incessantly. Finally, with a hum, after a full incense stick's time, the energy within the Rebirth Altar was finally exhausted, the black light receding and quickly fading away.
"Hah!"
"Refreshing, simply refreshing!" Lao Yuan laughed heartily, feeling completely relaxed. His aura thickened even more, and within his body, faint red light flickered, emanating a heart-pounding presence. Meanwhile, Qin Chen also became acutely aware that his soul power was exceptionally strong and extraordinarily dense, the surging sea of souls flowing and deep as the abyss. His mind was particularly clear, and his comprehension of the world had directly increased by more than thirty percent.
This was the benefit of having powerful soul power; soul power was equivalent to perception. Anyone with substantial soul power would have a deeper understanding of the world, and their speed of grasping the rules would be faster.
"Unfortunately, no matter how much soul power grows, it will always be limited by the physical body and cultivation."
As long as Qin Chen did not break through to the Nineth Level Martial God or reach the Impervious Realm with his physical body, the current transformation of soul power would only be quantitative, not qualitative. Of course, this time, the ones gaining the most were still Ji Ruyue and Ji Hongchen.
Their soul power, which could only be considered slightly stronger than that of peers before, had now reached the limit of their levels after this enhancement, with their cultivation and comprehension speeds increased by several times compared to before.
"Buzz!" Ji Ruyue’s body circulated true essence, emanating astonishing auras, and the power of the rules appeared around her, as if she was about to directly break through to the Nineth Level Martial God. Ji Hongchen was similar; her aura fluctuated, seemingly on the verge of entering the Mid-Level Martial God realm.
After the Rebirth Altar stopped operating, the cold aura in the stone chamber dissipated completely, and the people who had been immobilized and lost their senses gradually awakened.
Upon realizing that they had not been possessed, expressions of ecstasy appeared on everyone's faces. "Someone helped us just now, who was it?"
Everyone turned their heads, as they clearly felt they were on the verge of being possessed, and at that critical moment, a vast force appeared, driving off the Demon Tribe members and saving them.
"Who is it?"
"Who helped us?"
Xu Dongsheng and others felt a surge of emotions, but quickly their faces turned to anger. "The Ji family, damn that Ji family, to set up such a trap and deceive us. The so-called baptism was just a way for the otherworldly beings to possess us. What a cruel heart!" Xu Dongsheng and others turned their gazes toward the Martial Gods of the Ji family, revealing their fury.
