The beginning of the game "The King of Heroes"

Chapter 667 The Path to Becoming an Emperor: The Soul River Brand Cultivation Accelerator!

"As expected of a being from the strange race, its foundation is profound!" Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh, acknowledging its power.

If he were to complete the sixth secret realm, he might still need to fight a tough battle.

It sounds hard to accept. With Qin Tian's achievements, when would he ever need to fight a bitter battle and get injured when encountering beings of the same level?

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense; the other party wasn't an ordinary person either.

Although he had repeatedly pushed the limits of giants, his opponent, as the Emperor Light Immortal King, was one step ahead of him in terms of innate realm.

Moreover, the other party comes from a strange race. As a powerful force that has swept across the heavens for countless eras, they possess the most powerful foundation in the universe, including the ashes of a supreme being.

They swept across the heavens, reaping countless civilizations and eras, acquiring a vast amount of resources. Even a tiny glimpse of these resources would be enough to make the Immortal King of this race extremely powerful.

Putting aside everything else, just look at the scriptures he cultivates; they are all based on imperial scriptures, truly surpassing the path of kings.

Having experienced the transformation of Qin Tian into a thousand years, he naturally knew just how terrifying such scriptures were.

It's not surprising that the other side has such combat power.

Otherwise, how could they have driven the Heavenly Emperor trio to despair?

"However... only this can ignite my fighting spirit!" Qin Tian roared, and then flames ignited around him, illuminating the past and present and tearing through all the darkness in the universe.

That was his will, his fighting spirit. A thousand great principles and ten thousand divine laws transformed at his fingertips. It was the Way, the principle, the order, and all things.

Once the One Path is revealed, all other Paths follow!

"Boom!"

The waves crashed against the shore, and the battle between the two intensified. The person before him was no weaker than him in terms of combat strength, physique, spiritual energy, and supernatural powers; he was definitely an unparalleled foe.

"This is truly delightful!" Qin Tian's eyes sharpened as he began to exert his full power, utilizing his dual Dao Fruits and immortal characteristics.

That immortal golden elixir radiated a sacred light, exuding an aura of supreme divinity and holiness, giving birth to all things and shattering the heavens.

Qin Tian lowered one hand, and immortal Dao light flowed from his palm, its extreme sharpness shattering the vast world.

He seemed to transcend the long river of time, standing before the kingly way, radiating a sacred light that surpassed the years, similar to the radiance of a quasi-immortal emperor, both being characteristics that transcended the kingly way.

This radiance gradually solidified and took shape; it was actually a divine spear, so sharp and so dazzling that Anlan's famous Chifeng Spear was not even worthy of carrying its shoes.

Qin Tian used the Immortal Golden Elixir as a weapon, transforming it into an unparalleled spear with gleaming sharpness.

He took a step forward, shattering the eternal void. His spear pierced the sky, transcending time, and even the River of Souls stopped flowing at that moment.

"Roar!"

Sensing the sharpness of that immortal spear, the nine-headed monster could not hold back any longer and was about to make a move. All nine heads let out a deafening roar, which was an unparalleled divine power. The sound waves contained the runes of the Great Dao, as if they were creating the world and destroying all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Even Qin Tian was momentarily stunned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the raven attacked again, its sharp claws gleaming with imperial light. It collided with the Three Inch Human Realm, producing a piercing sound.

It burst forth with dazzling imperial radiance, its three-legged claws slowly and resolutely tearing apart the three inches of the mortal realm.

In the end, the raven tore open the three-inch barrier between the human and the human world, intending to seize Qin Tian's head and destroy his primordial spirit.

At the critical moment, the tall and majestic Yang God, with its ability to gather and disperse without form, was the first to recover.

He raised his hand and unleashed an unparalleled divine power.

"The Three Elements Return to One!"

This is the ancient Dao, which can exert boundless power without the need for divine intervention.

The mighty power of creation swept across the heavens, shattering the vacuum. All matter in the universe was destroyed, except for a trace of immortal golden nature that remained eternal.

Qin Tian gripped the only immortal spear in history tightly; it was a miracle.

The characteristics of an emperor possessed by a celestial king.

Qin Tian raised his hand, and the spear pierced through the ages. With this single strike, he pierced through the Raven's protective imperial light, shattered the Raven's primordial spirit, and caused this Emperor Light Immortal King to perish.

The battle situation was immediately reversed, and the enemy was defeated in one strike.

"This golden pill is more useful than I imagined!" Qin Tian thought to himself, looking at the spear in his hand. It seems that this secret realm has many uses and endless mysteries waiting for him to explore.

"The River of Souls is nothing special!" Qin Tian said dismissively.

"I will show you what the River of Souls is in a moment!" The nine-headed monster's pupils contracted as it watched the raven fall, then it roared, and all eight of its heads chanted scriptures, drawing upon the power of the River of Souls.

He knew that he was no match for Qin Tian on his own and had to use his trump card.

The eerie, crystalline river was constantly boiling and surging, its overwhelming aura filling the sky. Symbols representing death churned within it, bringing the most terrible calamity upon Qin Tian.

"You too will become a part of the River of Souls!" the nine-headed monster said coldly.

"River of Souls, go!"

He used all his divine power to make the River of Souls flow slowly, infiltrating the Sea of ​​Boundaries. Countless great realms were affected as a result. Boundless darkness covered the vast land, and a sudden cold descended. Plants and all living beings withered and died, and other creatures declined. The entire world seemed to be heading towards another step, throwing itself into the embrace of misfortune.

"My body is immortal, my will is undying, what can the mere River of Souls do to me!" Qin Tian activated his sixth secret realm.

The world is contained within the palm of one's hand; within this small space, endless possibilities unfold, and boundless principles and truths resonate, transforming into chains of order that dance in the air.

As a golden elixir was swallowed, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven. That innate golden elixir, with its indestructible golden nature, radiated eternal brilliance. It anchored my body, keeping it permanently in a state that neither increased nor decreased, neither died nor was born.

The resonance of the two sixth-level secret realms brought Qin Tian an indelible and eternal blessing!

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Qin Tian struggled to cross the River of Souls. Each drop of water was a celestial king's essence, containing infinite mysteries of laws, carrying strange substances and vast death energy.

The river washed over Qin Tian's body, bringing the most terrible calamity.

Qin Tian's flesh and blood disintegrated, and his primordial spirit began to decline. There were countless Immortal Kings who had died in the River of Souls. The combined power of these forces created a terrifying might that would make even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor take notice.

The river flowed slowly, constantly washing over Qin Tian's body. Gradually, his flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a pure white and crystal-clear skeleton, as if forged from the finest jade, making people feel good at first sight.

Qin Tian was subjected to the tribulation of the Soul River, his physical body withered and his primordial spirit declined, as if he was about to perish on the spot. However, the nine-headed monster showed no sign of letting up, and instead, the divine incantation it uttered became even louder.

As Qin Tian's body began to collapse, his aura became increasingly oppressive and terrifying, causing the heavens and earth to tremble as if they were shaking.

The next moment, an immortal golden aura erupted with unprecedented power, dyeing the skeleton gold. A sacred aura burst forth, as if to cause all realms to collapse and fall. He was sublimating, further stimulating the power of the sixth secret realm.

His sixth secret realm is similar to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's "There are gods three feet above your head," both concerning cultivation methods at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Once he completely masters this secret realm, he will surely be able to break through the King level and become an Emperor.

At this moment, the power of that golden core was activated, granting Qin Tian immortal true power. His fair skeleton was filled with crystalline flesh and blood, his physical body was reshaped, and his primordial spirit became immortal. Like a great sun illuminating the boundary sea, he evaporated countless death energies, causing waves of wails to echo within the River of Souls.

The nine-headed monster was startled: "You actually turned the tables and restrained the Soul River! I'd like to see whether your divine power is stronger or the reserves accumulated by my Soul River over countless eons are more abundant!"

They watched as Qin Tian struggled and transcended the River of Souls.

He decisively summoned more rivers, and a pitch-black opening appeared. A road gradually became clear, accompanied by howling winds and spreading ashes.

From within flowed the River of Souls, one after another, the River of Souls fell, carrying death energy powerful enough to annihilate a Celestial King, attempting to corrupt Qin Tian's body, take away his essence and spirit, and melt his entire being into the River of Souls.

The Soul River is a rather unique one among the four vanguards. Compared to the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, the Four-Level Floating Pagoda, and the Ancient Underworld, the Soul River's mission is not to invade, but to imprison and guard.

The so-called River of Souls is a prison, specifically for detaining talented individuals with potential.

In the original story, the Ten-Crown King was imprisoned in the River of Souls, and this River of Souls was forged by the imprisoned Immortal King.

"Useless! My body is imbued with the golden essence of immortality, the Dao is indestructible, and I will never die!"

At this moment, Qin Tian was too divine, every inch of his skin was overflowing with immortal light. As a being of the Immortal King level, there was nothing that could harm him. Even the Soul River could not erase his immortal golden nature.

On the contrary, under the influence of the Soul River, Qin Tian absorbed the power of all living beings, tempering and refining himself, making his immortal golden nature even more brilliant, and the humanistic aura within it even more vigorous, like a majestic innate deity, a supreme god who only existed in the distant past when heaven and earth were created.

The form of the golden core was also changing little by little, constantly sublimating according to Qin Tian's will.

The innate immortal true spirit contains incomparably powerful energy, but Qin Tian has only initially refined it, generating a golden core, and has not yet truly integrated it into himself.

Qin Tian speculated that once he completely mastered this innate immortal true spirit, shattered the golden core, and transformed it into his own body, refining it into one with his primordial spirit and physical body, he might be able to break through the King Realm and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

"I know which way to go from here!" Qin Tianming understood the path to becoming Emperor Wang Cheng.

He watched as every inch of his flesh and blood was dyed with a brilliant color by that immortal golden light, and an incomparably powerful force filled his body, transforming into immortal light to resist the death energy of the River of Souls.

The primordial golden core shrank almost imperceptibly, bringing Qin Tian one step closer to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Qin Tian's gaze towards the River of Souls was different now: "River of Souls, the River of Death for all living beings!"

"Containing the essence of countless immortal kings, what an incredible opportunity!" Qin Tian's eyes burned with fervor.

The things that are innate can only be enhanced by the power of all living beings, because the power of all living beings is essentially a kind of power of the innate, imperishable true spirit.

It is a secondary power derived from the innate immortal spirit. Theoretically, if this secondary power is large enough, it can change the innate immortal spirit.

Like the power of faith, it is the insignificant power contributed by the will influencing the innate, immortal true spirit.

Therefore, it possesses boundless power, capable of consolidating the primordial spirit of an Immortal King, and enabling living beings to transcend the ages and ascend to the quasi-Immortal Emperor status.

This is because the innate, indestructible true spirit is itself a quasi-immortal emperor level entity, so it is only natural that it can elevate living beings to the quasi-immortal emperor level.

His golden core was developed through his own will, and without a doubt, the River of Souls is also a kind of power of all living beings, a river of death that draws on the essence of countless living beings, and has a miraculous effect on Dao derivatives such as the innate immortal true spirit.

This could stimulate the immortal golden core, causing it to disintegrate more quickly and propelling Qin Tian toward the quasi-immortal emperor realm.

"The River of Souls descends, annihilating the world!" The nine-headed monster summoned the River of Souls, drawing upon numerous Immortal Kings.

One powerful Dao principle after another descended from the River of Souls. These were the imprints of Immortal Kings—not just one or two, but more than twenty. The number was too great, too astonishing, and with the passage of time, the number of such beings continued to increase.

Their bizarre race swept across countless eras, possessing nothing but a multitude of Celestial Kings.

These are just the ones that can arrive quickly from nearby. If Qin Tian doesn't kill this group of Immortal Kings in a short time, it's estimated that a terrifying scene of a million Immortal Kings ganging up on one person will soon appear.

One after another, Immortal Kings appeared in the center of the battlefield along the River of Souls, intending to kill Qin Tian and bury him in the River of Souls.

But Qin Tian, ​​wielding the indestructible golden spear, was practically invincible.

This can be described as a divine weapon derived from the Great Dao. It is extremely sharp and nothing can withstand it. In just a few thrusts, the Immortal Kings who came from the River of Souls fell one by one under his spear.

After the battle, Qin Tian did not flee. Instead, he took the initiative to step into the River of Souls, intending to go against the current and kill his way to the source of the River of Souls.
