The Nascent Souls, a portion of which he obtained by slaying the Demon Tamer in the Riotous Immortal Sea, were now floating around Ye Fan's body.
Most of the others were collected from the disciples of the Heavenly Heart Sect that he had killed.
At this moment, nearly a hundred Nascent Souls hovered around Ye Fan.
Although these Nascent Souls were not very high in rank, the energy contained within them was still incredibly terrifying when nearly a hundred were absorbed at once.
In the entire Azure Wave Continent, there was probably no one else who dared to do this besides Ye Fan.
The Heavenly Sword Technique was ever-changing; it could transform everything and possessed a powerful ability to devour and assimilate energy.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Fan dared to absorb nearly a hundred Nascent Souls simultaneously.
At this moment, these Nascent Souls were all within Ye Fan's Domain of the Origin Sky, continuously shrinking and transforming into streams of energy, flowing into Ye Fan's body like countless threads.
"Although the energy from these Nascent Souls appears pure, it is actually quite complex and still needs to be refined and purified before it can become my own power." Ye Fan immersed his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, controlling the power within him to continuously refine and purify the energy that surged into his body, making it even more pure.
The speed at which the Domain of the Origin Sky devoured was rapid, but Ye Fan's speed in refining that energy was equally fast.
Soon, all the Nascent Souls floating around Ye Fan were completely devoured by him and flowed into his body.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion echoed through the secret chamber.
Ye Fan's aura surged like a rainbow, emanating an incredibly fearsome presence.
There were faint signs of breaking through to the early stage of Great Achievement and stepping into the Mid Stage of Great Achievement.
If it weren't for the Restriction array set up in the secret chamber, the entire room would likely have been destroyed by the momentum radiating from Ye Fan.
At this moment, the energy that had been absorbed into his body had mostly been converted into power within Ye Fan.
It could be said that as long as Ye Fan wished, he could easily step into the Mid Stage of Great Achievement at any time.
However, he forcibly suppressed himself.
Cultivation was akin to building a tower; if the foundation was unstable, the structure could not rise too high.
Similarly, if one did not establish a solid foundation in the early stages of cultivation, their future achievements would inevitably be limited.
Thus, for every realm, Ye Fan sought to achieve perfection.
If it were not for this, during his earlier battle with Shentu, he could have simply taken out a Nascent Soul from the Ascension Stage to absorb and devour. He believed he would surely reach the Great Accomplishment Period in no time.
Why then should he push himself through combat?
Though it appeared to be a breakthrough, there was an essential difference.
One method involved reaching one's own limits naturally and effortlessly.
The other relied on external forces, depending on immense energy obtained from elsewhere.
Therefore, even though he had transformed all of this Nascent Soul energy into his own power, Ye Fan continued to compress and refine it repeatedly, striving to elevate the amount of spiritual energy he could store to an astonishing level.
He tempered his flesh, bones, and meridians countless times, using spiritual energy to cleanse himself until every aspect reached perfection.
Only after this did Ye Fan finally stop.
"Wow!"
Before Ye Fan, another Radiant Light shone brilliantly as a Nascent Soul appeared.
"After absorbing this Nascent Soul of the Ascension Stage, it should be almost done."
Ye Fan murmured softly, then instantly began to absorb and refine it.
In the Heavenly Heart Sect's rampage, aside from the four Grand Elders of the Heavenly Heart Sect, Ye Fan had also obtained quite a few Ascension Stage Nascent Souls.
At a visibly rapid pace, the Nascent Souls of the Ascension Stage were completely absorbed by Ye Fan.
Then they were all refined into his own power, merging with the spiritual energy within him.
Ye Fan no longer held back.
"Boom!"
The entire secret chamber shook violently as Ye Fan's realm surged from the early stage of Great Achievement directly into the Mid Stage of Great Achievement, without any obstacles, as if it were a natural progression.
Sensing the commotion in the secret chamber, Lang Sun Chuan, who was personally guarding outside, suddenly froze.
"What’s happening?"
Lang Sun Chuan was startled and immediately stood up to look at the door of the secret chamber.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door of the secret chamber swung open, and Ye Fan stepped out from within.
Lang Sun Chuan was taken aback again and quickly bowed to Ye Fan, saying, "Master, why have you come out?"
Ye Fan placed his hands behind his back and smiled lightly. "The seclusion is over; what else would I be doing in there?"
"Seclusion is over?" Lang Sun Chuan exclaimed in surprise. "Master, it’s only been less than a day!"
"Has it already been a day?" Ye Fan frowned slightly and muttered, "To break through from the early stage of Great Achievement to the Mid Stage of Great Achievement actually took a whole day!"
"Ah, I wonder when I will be able to return to..."
As Ye Fan spoke those words, his voice suddenly fell silent, leaving the thought unfinished.
Yet, there was a hint of gravity in his expression. In his past life, he had been the Divine Emperor.
Now, he had only just reached the Great Accomplishment Period. The gap between them was vast—ten thousand miles apart.
"The Godslayer Clan, I, Ye Fan, will definitely reach the realm of my past life in my cultivation, and I will become even stronger. I will personally unveil your mysterious facade. Just wait! That day will come sooner or later!"
"Ha...!"
Ye Fan let out a long breath, secretly vowing in his heart.
In his previous life, the reason for Ye Fan's downfall was precisely because of exploring the Godslayer Clan.
He did not know what the Godslayer Clan was; he didn't even know if they were human or a different race altogether.
But Ye Fan knew that it was an incredibly mysterious and terrifying nightmare.
It was said that every ten Yuan Meetings, the Godslayer Clan would appear.
One Yuan Meeting equaled 129,600 years, so ten Yuan Meetings amounted to 1,296,000 years.
When the Godslayer Clan appeared, it marked the day of annihilation for heaven and earth.
This was a cataclysmic event; even gods could not escape it.
In his past life, Ye Fan roamed the cosmic starry sky, searching for traces of the Godslayer Clan.
However, what he ultimately encountered was a beam of annihilating light that shattered his form completely.
Ye Fan speculated that this world-destroying light must be related to the Godslayer Clan.
Otherwise, how could a dignified Divine Emperor be killed by just a beam of light?
However, what Ye Fan did not expect was that after his fall, he was reborn in this continent.
Since he had the chance to explore the Godslayer Clan once more, Ye Fan would not give up.
Of course, Lang Sun Chuan directly ignored Ye Fan's murmurs behind him.
He followed Ye Fan in a daze, walking along the passage of the secret chamber, unable to believe his ears as he said, "Master, did you just say you have broken through from the early stage of Great Achievement to the Mid Stage of Great Achievement?"
"Yes, is there something wrong?" Ye Fan nodded and asked back, and then the aura of the Mid Stage of Great Achievement flashed and disappeared.
Although it was the Mid Stage of Great Achievement, the intensity of the aura emanating from Ye Fan far surpassed that of other Great Accomplishment Period experts by a wide margin.
Lang Sun Chuan was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "You really have broken through to the Mid Stage of Great Achievement! And it took less than a day. Master, your speed is simply too fast!"
Ye Fan suddenly turned around and looked deeply at the astonished Lang Sun Chuan. His expression became extremely serious as he said, "As my disciple, you need to learn to get used to this because there will be many more unbelievable things happening in the future!"
【Author's Note】: After a long day of work, I came back to write and saw that there were no votes, which really demotivated me! Also, I believe many of you are curious about how the protagonist fell in his previous life, so I briefly mentioned the reason in this chapter. I originally planned to write about it later, but since I saw some readers asking about it a few days ago, I decided to put it out now! Can you all spare a few votes for me...?
