His heart and lungs were severed by a sword, and his withered head, chest, shoulders, and arms fell downwards.

Other internal organs and intestines also fell downwards, but still hung in the air, swaying with inertia.

Large amounts of black mud gushed from the wound, submerging the severed limbs that had fallen into the water, piling up into an arch-like mass that seemed to throb like a heart.

A sharp cry rang out from all directions, as if it were a roar of pain from being injured.

The woman's corpse, still trembling slightly, continued to bleed as the pendulum swayed.

Xi Heng tilted his head—the howl of pain came from the surrounding area, indicating that the true form of the vengeful spirit was not the woman in front of him.

She then swung her sword and cut the thick rope that was suspending the woman's legs, causing her to fall onto the black mud pustules, where she was swallowed.

The black mud did not stop flowing; instead, it surged even more violently from the severed thick rope.

It was as if the woman's figure just now was merely a faucet with a rather unusual shape, but now, it had been replaced by spraying water directly from the pipe.

As the black mud accumulated, the enemy's momentum grew stronger.

The black mud pustule below suddenly burst open, and hundreds of ghosts and monsters rushed out and swarmed forward.

They are strange creatures, some with long wings and horns, some soaring high in the sky, and some standing on all fours, all moving at great speeds.

Xi Heng raised his hand and drew a golden wave that swept across the area. Just as he cleared away half of the demons in front, the majority of the demons and ghosts behind him pressed down again.

Just as she was about to swing her sword, a ripple appeared on the water beneath her feet.

A sharp, grotesque hand with four fingers grabbed her ankle and tried to drag her to the bottom of the water with tremendous force.

The girl frowned slightly, and the flames of resentment flickered and expanded, burning away everything within a hundred meters.

The surroundings finally calmed down a bit. When she came to her senses, she saw two large, wide purple eyes suddenly light up in the distance, staring intently at her.

The resentment within Xi Heng's body suddenly surged, a feeling quite similar to being agitated by the Black Tide in his previous life.

However, this surge was much weaker than the Black Tide, and because of her improved cultivation level, she wiped it away in just a moment.

Her thoughts returned to reality. Several sharp black thorns had somehow pierced through her limbs and torso, and like a deadly poison, they had seeped into her body, causing waves of resentment to surge within her.

If she were only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she might have been restricted by this move.

But Xi Heng was already at his peak at this moment, and he had prepared a golden light protection in advance—the black filth in his body was completely cleared away in just a moment of flashing between his brows.

She had no intention of engaging in further combat with her opponent; instead, she expanded her spiritual sense to fill the entire space, searching for the opponent's true form.

Her spiritual senses led her to look up and fix her gaze on the thick rope that was being sprayed with black mud.

As their vision gradually cleared, they saw the source of the rope—a huge, round coil stuck high up, which was the vengeful ghost itself.

The thick rope wound around the coil is not uniform, and a knot is tied at intervals, with each knot resembling a human figure.

"So this is what I'm supposed to cut..." Xi Heng's body rippled with spatial energy as he began to act.

The blade in his hand rapidly grew, transforming from an ordinary longsword into a broad greatsword with demonic patterns.

A figure flashed, traversing hundreds of meters to reach the enemy's main body high in the sky.

The sharp blade then slashed down, the golden and red luster transforming into a straight line that sliced ​​through the entire ball of yarn.

The gold thread disappeared, the thick rope broke and scattered to the ground, and part of the ball of thread itself also came off.

Amidst the howling, screams of pain and piercing shrieks mingled together.

The rope-bound human figures that had been cut off struggled and danced in the air, then swung straight onto the ground and water, where they fell silent once they were submerged.

More flames of resentment fell from the sky, engulfing and covering the surface of all the flesh-colored thick ropes and beginning to curl, twisting the ropes toward the center, and compressing the space along with them.

The nearly kilometer-long wreckage of thick rope seemed to be sinking into a deep-sea whirlpool, its shape getting smaller and smaller.

The remaining four-fifths of the knot in the air were still fighting back, but this wraith had no combat experience whatsoever. Even though it possessed powerful resentment, it didn't know how to use it.

The opponent's fighting instincts were really poor. Even though her actual strength was no less than Xi Heng's, she easily gained the upper hand in the actual battle.

The vortex of spiritual fire below spun faster and faster, twisting the thousands of broken ropes into thin strands, squeezing them from soft, fleshy pieces into solid lumps.

After a dozen seconds, the compression was finally complete.

Xi Heng's figure transformed back into spiritual fire, returning to the center of the vortex to retrieve the peculiarly hard block that had been compressed into shape. He then used golden light to forcefully suppress the surging energy within the object.

Then, he casually turned his head and glanced at the two purple eyes that were still staring at him with resentment.

He simply smiled and waved to the other party, said thank you, and then transformed into a streak of fire and vanished from the spot.

The surroundings were no longer filled with resentment, and the air instantly changed from thick and stuffy to fresh.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and realized that she had returned to the ground of Changping Capital City.

Her figure drifted down onto the street, bathed in the dazzling golden light. To her left, boats and cars sped by, while to her right, small trees, like streetlights, glowed softly.

A few spirit beings or mortals strolled along the pedestrian street. There were few advertisements in the city center, and the sound of boats was not loud. Everything was relatively peaceful.

Xi Heng tilted his head, feeling as if he had suddenly returned from hell to the human world.

After a moment of adjustment, he lowered his gaze to what he was holding in his right hand, the object he had just peeled off from the spirit.

This substance was condensed to an extreme, becoming a round bead the size of an ordinary water glass.

The surface is covered with fine rope-like patterns, resembling an intricate sculpture made of flesh-colored jade.

It was enveloped in a dense aura of resentment; even when one sent it with their divine sense, they could feel the powerful spiritual energy within.

"It seems like I cut a little too much... Oh well, that's enough." The girl weighed the heavy object in her hand. If she hadn't already reached the Nascent Soul stage, she probably would have had some difficulty picking it up.

She put it back into her spatial ring, shifted her attention, and looked at the surrounding human world.

Subconsciously, I started to stroll along the sidewalk like everyone else.

A finger touched her cheek, making a wanton search.

"I still need some auxiliary materials to advance... They are not particularly valuable and should be available in Changping Capital."

"Hmm, let's go shopping for a bit." Xi Heng moved his fingers, finding a few relatively valuable items in his inventory, intending to exchange them for enough spirit stones to purchase auxiliary materials.

Then, his figure disappeared into the city.

……

Two hours later, the promotion materials were complete.

The girl used the Duguang Pavilion token to ascend to the high heaven platform again and met the Nascent Soul Elder in the wooden hall.

He uttered half a word of thanks, and then applied for a promotion to the Divine Transformation Realm here.

Xi Heng had also considered whether to save the main materials for advancement in his inventory first, so that if he failed to advance and died, he wouldn't have to search for materials again after reloading the save.

However, upon reflection, it seems that searching for materials didn't take much effort, so it wouldn't hurt to collect them again before each attempt at promotion.

Who knows, maybe this first attempt will lead to a promotion...

Not long after, the Nascent Soul Elder retrieved the token authorizing his advancement.

This token, used to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, has not been used for over two hundred years. The last time it was used, the person who was advancing was instantly struck dead by lightning and turned into a wisp of smoke.

"I hope this time we will achieve something," the Elder of the Nascent Soul stage said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, it will work." Xi Heng confidently accepted the token.

Even if it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance next time.

Opportunities are limitless for her; she will eventually attain the Divine Transformation realm.

The other party nodded slowly upon hearing this.

The girl then left the wooden hall, leaving the Nascent Soul Elder shaking his head quietly, seemingly lost in thought.

……

After seven days of preparation, the girl once again ascended to the heavens and went directly to the advancement platform.

It was here that she previously advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.

Today, more than a hundred years have passed since then.

Such a long period of time far exceeds a lifetime for an ordinary person, but it doesn't feel very real to her.

The girl stepped onto the twisted and gnarled branches and arrived at the center of the platform. She activated the various formations around her that aided her advancement and calmed her mind.

Sit cross-legged and meditate for a while, focusing your eyes on your nose and your mind on your heart.

Then he slowly exhaled and placed a small amount of his divine sense in the spiritual fire space.

During these seven days of preparation, in addition to Changpingjing gathering a large amount of spiritual energy, she also made some preparations in terms of spiritual power.

For example, plant the Golden Light Divine Trees from your inventory in the Spirit Fire Space to create a well-organized forest of giant golden trees.

Because the spiritual fire space was too small, Xi Heng only planted thirty-eight divine trees, and the strength of the internal spiritual veins barely reached the level of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, it is more than enough to serve as a reserve of spiritual energy.

If the surge of spiritual energy triggered when I advance to the Nascent Soul stage is too great, and even the spiritual power accumulated in Changping Capital cannot support it, then the reserve spiritual power in these spiritual fire spaces can come in handy.

However, that's all for later. During the promotion process, the most important thing to pay attention to is always the tribulation lightning.

"I wonder what kind of power the Nascent Soul Tribulation lightning will possess?"

"Can I pass on the first try?" Xi Heng asked himself, finding it difficult to answer.

"In short, for my first advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll give it my all first."

She raised her hand and flicked out several streams of spiritual fire, making this place the same as the spiritual fire space, so that spiritual energy could be transferred at any time.

Immediately afterwards, the ascension array covering the entire platform suddenly lit up with bright light and spontaneously expanded and spread due to the massive influx of spiritual energy.

In just three or four seconds, the great formation occupied half of the canopy of the Supreme Heavenly Tree, causing countless branches to twist spontaneously and point towards the center of the formation.

Squeaking sounds filled the surroundings, and golden stars twinkled on every branch. The golden spiritual energy within them was interconnected, like stars surrounding the four sides of the platform, forming a shape of a round heaven and a square earth.

A large amount of golden spiritual energy surged forth, filling the advancement array and transforming it once again into the Golden Star Gathering Array, which spans ten thousand feet.

Xi Heng expanded his spiritual awareness and saw this, silently thinking to himself:

"The formation is much more magnificent than when I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage."

She herself began to circulate the various true energies within her body, laying the foundation for her later advancement.

The most important factors are, of course, the vital energy of heaven and earth and the profound power of one's will, which can directly determine success or failure.

May your wishes surround you, and may your fortune be enhanced.

The essence of heaven and earth permeates the body and soul, merging into the nascent soul, slowly opening the long-closed path to advancement.

"With the Spirit Fire Space, which houses more than 30,000 spiritual beings, their willpower has increased significantly compared to when they were in the Nascent Soul stage, so the effects should be even stronger."

Xi Heng took a deep breath.

The words "Transformation into a Divine Realm" had lingered in her heart for a long time.

Upon reaching this level, one can become the strongest in this new Senluo Domain and freely obtain any resources within it.

They may also be eligible to return to the apocalyptic world that was about to be destroyed by the Black Tide, and fulfill the promise they once made.

The path to advancement opened, and her nascent soul slowly emerged from her body.

This red nascent soul, with its large head and light body resembling an animated character, is becoming increasingly closer to a real human form, much more solid and larger than when it first formed.

The grand array assisting in advancement on the platform is ready, and the spiritual energy of the Spirit Fire Space has also been activated.

His willpower filled his entire body, and his body spontaneously began to circulate, gathering spiritual energy from all directions.

The spiritual energy, following her thoughts, seemed to have a mind of its own and spontaneously approached, squeezing into her meridians.

The white-haired girl sat quietly for a long time, until this state had become second nature to her.

Without a word, I made a decision in my heart:

"let's start."
