At the bottom of the Sea of Fire.
Streams of Soul Power converged towards Aotian, bringing him indescribable agony. Of course, Aotian's Soul Power was also gradually increasing at a slow pace.
The increase in Soul Power made Aotian feel less pain, which was normal; otherwise, he would have fainted in the Sea of Fire long ago.
At this moment, Aotian's consciousness was immersed in his own Mind, where many unfamiliar pieces of information emerged, all coming from the inheritance of the Soul Elder.
Although the information was not yet complete, with the passage of time, Aotian would surely obtain the full inheritance.
"Wow, the inheritance from the Soul Elder is all about Soul Martial Arts?!"
As Aotian explored the information in his Mind, he felt a sense of astonishment.
The information that appeared in his Mind was entirely about various Soul Martial Arts, countless in number. From low-level inferior Soul Martial Arts to mid-level superior Soul Martial Arts, they were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.
Especially that mid-level superior Soul Martial Art, Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves, which Aotian genuinely liked. This Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves attacked using a wave-like method to unleash Soul Power; this continuous attack could potentially surpass ordinary advanced martial arts if all Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves were unleashed at once.
"I have nearly inherited the Soul Elder's legacy; now it is time for my Soul Power to break through!"
Aotian shouted fiercely, and immediately, a terrifying Soul Power surged like a tempest from the bottom of the Sea of Fire. Instantly, the calm Sea of Fire erupted into towering waves of flames, and the Soul Power at the bottom of the Sea of Fire merged into Aotian's soul at a terrifying speed.
In the Second Brain Sea, where Aotian's soul resided, his ethereal soul began to solidify as the surging Soul Power around him grew increasingly fierce.
"Breakthrough!" Aotian roared.
Suddenly, Aotian's Soul Power surged several times, this power was much stronger than Aotian's previous Soul Power.
The levels of Soul Practitioners are divided from low to high: First-Level Soul User, Second-Level Soul Master, and so on up to Ninth-Level Soul Practitioner. Each level is further divided into early, mid, and late stages.
Previously, Aotian was in the early stage of First-Level Soul User, but after entering the Sea of Fire and absorbing the Soul Power of a Soul Elder, Aotian directly advanced to the mid-stage of First-Level. It must be said that Aotian's expedition to the ruins was quite fruitful.
Above the Sea of Fire, Aotian stood quietly. Although he could still feel the scorching aura from the Sea of Fire, it was undoubtedly a world apart compared to before breaking through to the mid-stage of First-Level.
Even though there was still residual Soul Power from the Soul Elder in the Sea of Fire, Aotian had no intention of absorbing and refining it.
Aotian understood very well that if he were to absorb and refine all the Soul Power in the Sea of Fire, he might truly break through to Second-Level or even Third-Level Soul Practitioner, but that would also leave significant drawbacks.
After all, the Soul Power here was not cultivated by himself. Although this Soul Power was already ownerless, there would still be some influence.
If he only absorbed a small amount of Soul Power, then the impact would not be too great. However, if he were to absorb a large amount, his achievements on the Soul Path would be severely limited.
Therefore, Aotian would not foolishly engage in such short-sighted actions.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a tremendous wave of fire suddenly erupted from the Sea of Fire. The flames seemed to transform into a giant fire dragon, fiercely crashing into a void within the Fire Space.
"Hiss!"
A light gate suddenly appeared in Aotian's line of sight, behind which the outline of the Great Hall faintly emerged.
With a slight smile, Aotian knew this was the Soul Elder's means, aimed at sending the inheritor away from the Fire Space.
Without hesitation, Aotian transformed into a beam of light and shot into the gate.
As Aotian departed, the Fire Space returned to calmness, becoming lifeless, with only the sound of waves of fire slowly spreading throughout the Fire Space...
In the main hall, Aotian quietly gazed at the Heritage Ancient Token in his hand. He knew that there was no longer any inheritance from the Soul Elder within this Heritage Ancient Token, but that Fire Space still existed within the Ancient Token. Therefore, Aotian chose not to discard the Ancient Token but to keep it, as it might be helpful to him in the future.
Aotian brushed his hand over the Storage Ring, and immediately, a jade slip appeared in his hand.
This jade slip was what Aotian had previously fought over with Qiu Mingjie and others in the main hall. According to the Soul Elder, this jade slip contained records of high-grade martial arts, which was why Aotian was eager to learn this martial art.
Although Wang Shuiqun had been driven out of Fengyun Nation by that black dragon, Qiu Mingjie and others were still within Fengyun Nation. It was hard to believe that Qiu Mingjie and others would give up on competing for the Soul Elder's inheritance; Aotian would not believe it even if he were killed.
Even though the Soul Elder's inheritance was related to the Soul Path and did not provide substantial help to those martial artists, would they believe him if he said so? Moreover, even if they couldn't use it themselves, it could still fetch a good price. Additionally, since Qiu Mingjie already had enmity with him, Aotian would not foolishly expect Qiu Mingjie and others to let him off. They might have already set up traps outside the ruins waiting for his appearance.
While Aotian could ensure that Snow Qincheng and others would stand by his side, he felt somewhat guilty about always having them take on risks. Thus, he planned to strengthen his own abilities from various aspects to better cope with external crises.
Currently, whether it was Transformation Technique, physical strength, or Soul Power, there was no possibility of a rapid increase in a short time. Therefore, Aotian intended to first learn the martial arts recorded in that jade slip. This way, he could also enhance his overall combat effectiveness.
Slowly unfolding the jade slip, an overwhelming killing intent surged towards Aotian.
A surge of bloodlust rose from Aotian's heart, startling him greatly. He quickly steadied his mind, refusing to be affected by the killing intent emanating from the jade slip.
Once his mind became stable, Aotian continued to explore the contents contained within the jade slip.
Heavenly Slaughter Strike!
Four white characters appeared before Aotian's eyes, and just these four words made him feel an overwhelming sense of slaughter, as if even the heavens would pale in comparison to this killing force.
After reading about the Heavenly Slaughter Strike, Aotian's eyes were filled with astonishment.
The advanced martial art recorded in this jade slip was the Heavenly Slaughter Strike. There was only one move, but its power was earth-shattering. To execute the Heavenly Slaughter Strike, one must unleash a tremendous killing intent, delivering a fatal blow. Before the attack even reached the enemy, their mind would be shattered by the overwhelming slaughter, leaving behind an indelible psychological scar.
When the attack of the Heavenly Slaughter Strike approached the enemy, it was their moment of demise.
First, it wounds the heart, then it harms the body; this is the Heavenly Slaughter Strike!
