Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Upon hearing this from the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Soul Heaven Martial Saint frowned.

Immediately afterwards, he swiftly used his abilities to examine the enormous, blood-red soul beside him.

As expected, just as the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Bell had said.

This crimson soul contained only the purest soul power, completely devoid of any consciousness or impurities.

Moreover, this crimson soul clearly possessed the soul strength of a Martial Saint realm expert.

In addition, there's the appearance and aura of this crimson soul.

Soul Heaven Martial Saint easily guessed that this blood-red soul must be the soul of the Blood Demon.

Upon realizing this, Soul Heaven Martial Saint turned to look at Chu Yunfan's consciousness, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.

Because, to process the soul of a Blood Demon Martial Saint so perfectly, completely removing consciousness and impurities, leaving only the purest soul power.

In the eyes of Soul Heaven Martial Saint, only top-tier Martial Saints with extremely profound soul cultivation or super beings at the Martial Emperor realm could possess such abilities.

Neither of these two is something that Soul Heaven Martial Saint can afford to provoke.

Therefore, the Soul Heaven Martial Saint immediately released the restriction on Chu Yunfan's consciousness and then spoke:

"I apologize, young friend Yunfan. I misunderstood you before. Please forgive me!"

Soul Heaven Martial Saint's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, leaving Chu Yunfan momentarily stunned.

However, seeing that the matter was resolved, Chu Yunfan had no intention of dwelling on it; he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Soul Heaven Martial Saint, you're too kind. You're doing this for the greater good."

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Soul Heaven Martial Saint breathed a sigh of relief, and then his soul left Chu Yunfan's mind and returned to his own body.

Immediately afterwards, Soul Heaven Martial Saint quickly informed Flat Heaven Martial Saint of what had just happened, asking Flat Heaven Martial Saint to release the restraints on Chu Yunfan's body.

Upon hearing Hun Tian Martial Saint's description, Ping Tian Martial Saint was initially startled, but quickly released Chu Yunfan from his restraints and also apologized.

"Young friend, I am truly sorry. I have a rather impatient temper, which led to my rash actions just now. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing the apology from the Martial Saint of Heaven, Chu Yunfan simply gave a calm "hmm," and then said:

"My innocence has now been proven by my two seniors."

"Then, may I leave now?"

Upon hearing this, Soul Heaven Martial Saint immediately replied:

"Young friend, please feel free to leave!"

Furthermore, I feel quite guilty about what just happened.

After dealing with the Blood Demon matter, I will certainly pay a visit in person to express my apologies!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Martial Saint of Heaven, who was standing to the side, hurriedly chimed in:

"At that time, I will also go with Soul Heaven Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing the words of Hun Tian Martial Saint and the other man, Chu Yunfan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then left the arena without any hesitation.

After Chu Yunfan left, in the arena, Soul Heaven Martial Saint immediately began searching the souls of everyone else, trying to find the location of the Blood Demon.

However, to the disappointment of Soul Heaven Martial Saint, after searching everyone's souls, he still could not find the Blood Demon.

Even Xu Tianlong, whom Chu Yunfan had previously suspected, was not found to have any problems by Soul Heaven Martial Saint.

Afterwards, Soul Heaven Martial Saint went to the slave market beneath the arena and conducted a soul search on all the slaves.

As a result, Soul Heaven Martial Saint discovered traces of the Blood Demon's clone on several of the slaves.

When he discovered this situation, Soul Heaven Martial Saint's heart was undoubtedly broken.

The slaves in the slave market were traded countless times every day.

Basically, everyone in Qingyun Sword City with power and influence has bought slaves from the slave market.

Some slaves were even bought by people outside Qingyun Sword City and ended up scattered throughout the Qingyun Continent.

In other words, it is very likely that the Blood Demon's clones have already spread throughout the entire Azure Cloud Continent along with these slaves.

Therefore, it would be virtually impossible to eliminate all the blood demons.

Ultimately, with no other option, Soul Heaven Martial Saint had to report the matter to the top levels of the Human Alliance, letting those truly important figures handle it.

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later. Chu Yunfan, one of the main characters in this incident, had already left Qingyun Sword City and arrived at a remote place to begin the final step in breaking through to the Martial King realm.

Without the Blood Demon's treachery, Chu Yunfan quickly merged his entire soul into one, forming a complete soul.

This also means that Chu Yunfan has officially broken through to the Martial King realm.

At the same time, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Martial King Realm descended as scheduled.

The Martial King Realm is a watershed moment in all cultivation realms.

Once a cultivator breaks through to the Martial King level, a qualitative change occurs, and they truly begin to transcend the realm of humanity, evolving towards godhood.

Therefore, starting from the Martial King realm, every time a cultivator breaks through a major realm, a heavenly tribulation will descend to test whether they are qualified to cultivate into a god.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is not static; it automatically adjusts its power based on the individual's talent and strength.

Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators who break through to the Martial King realm face ordinary tribulations.

When a genius cultivator breaks through to the Martial King realm, they will face an even more powerful golden lightning tribulation.

As for the top geniuses, they will encounter even more powerful divine weapon tribulations.

For example, at this moment, the golden lightning above Chu Yunfan's head is no longer in the shape of ordinary lightning, but has transformed into the shape of weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

The lightning tribulation that transforms into the shape of a weapon is at least several times more powerful than the normal golden lightning tribulation.

Before Chu Yunfan could react, a huge golden lightning blade had already slashed down on his head.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan immediately used his swordsmanship to defend himself.

"Heavenly Fire Destroys the World!"

A large number of fiery sword energies appeared instantly, and then quickly merged together to form a giant fiery sword, which met the thunderous blade.

A loud explosion was heard, the fiery sword energy exploded, and the thunder blade disintegrated.

Seeing this, wind wings appeared on Chu Yunfan's back, and he quickly flew into the sky.

Then, Chu Yunfan made a surprising move.

He charged directly into the fragments of the golden thunder blade, then circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing all the fragments into his body.

Judging from this, Chu Yunfan intends to refine these golden lightning bolts into his own power.

If anyone were to witness this scene, they would surely shout:

"madman!"

As is well known, the lightning generated by the tribulation not only possesses the power of lightning, but also contains the destructive will of this world, which cannot be absorbed by cultivators.

Many exceptionally talented geniuses with lightning-attribute physiques have done the same thing as Chu Yunfan.

As a result, without exception, they were all destroyed by the destructive will within the lightning tribulation, turning from geniuses into dust in an instant.

Chu Yunfan was certainly aware of this as well.

However, unlike others, Chu Yunfan possesses the miraculous skill of the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic).
