Chapter 30: Who Is He?

An invisible fluctuation exploded in the air.

The Radiance Soul Beast’s eyes glowed blood-red, as if it wanted to completely shatter Lu Jin!

At this moment, Wang Min, who had already left, turned back to look, her eyes filled with terror!

“It’s the Radiance Soul Beast! It must be the Guardian Beast of the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit. It didn’t appear before, yet it tracked us from Nine Nether Mountain all the way here?”

Amidst her shock, she restrained all her aura, crouching motionless.

In her view, even if Lu Jin possessed powerful methods, he couldn’t possibly be a match for this Soul Beast. The destructive power of this beast was enough to sweep away all Golden Core cultivators!

She was merely a Sixth-Grade Golden Core, trembling in fear!

Meanwhile, after Lu Jin used the Coffin of Burying Heaven to devour the spiritual power enveloping his body, his expression became even more solemn!

Because that spiritual power came in layer after layer, impossible to devour completely in an instant!

Even though the Coffin of Burying Heaven fed back a stream of spiritual power to fortify his Mud Pill Palace (mind), he still felt intense pain sweeping from every part of his body. The tearing agony was akin to undergoing a Tribulation!

Fortunately, having experienced the Spirit Pearl Thunder Tribulation, the strength of his flesh and blood body was extraordinary. Otherwise, he probably couldn’t withstand a single strike from the Radiance Soul Beast!

“Coffin of Burying Heaven, keep circulating for me!”

The Radiance Soul Beast’s overwhelming spiritual attack was like a hurricane, while Lu Jin was like a small boat in a storm, seemingly in danger of capsizing at any moment!

With his current strength, pushing the Coffin of Burying Heaven to devour with full force had a limit due to the shackles of his cultivation. To neutralize that violent spiritual attack, he had to break through that limit!

But Empress Qinglian had warned him before that forcefully exerting the power of the Coffin of Burying Heaven might lead to a greater backlash!

“Can’t worry about that much now! Swallow for me!”

Buzz!!!

As Lu Jin’s voice fell, the light of the Coffin of Burying Heaven surged, and the devouring power increased abruptly!

What Lu Jin could confirm now was that the Coffin of Burying Heaven could devour spiritual power and feed it back to him. However, he knew nothing about cultivating spiritual power. Suddenly bearing such a massive feedback of spiritual power, he was momentarily at a loss.

But facing the attack of the Radiance Soul Beast, he absolutely couldn’t sit and wait for death; otherwise, only a dead end awaited!

“Can the Coffin of Burying Heaven feed back a spiritual cultivation technique?”

This thought flashed through Lu Jin’s mind, but he was suddenly struck by a wave of intense pain, causing his expression to change drastically!

This fed-back spiritual power came from within; he couldn’t even use defensive power to resist it!

The severe pain attacked his entire body, causing a massive impact on his soul. A wave of trance hit him, and Lu Jin actually felt the illusion of being in a dream.

But when he forcefully stabilized his mind, the scene before him changed.

“Hm? Where is this? Am I hallucinating?”

Lu Jin was startled. As far as his eyes could see, in the void above, a gigantic wheel was crushing down. His body appeared so insignificant. Under the tyrannical pressure of that wheel, he stumbled, unable even to run, forced to let the wheel crush over him!

The pain was heart-rending, his mind trembling!

“This is the Wheel of Spiritual Power. What is being crushed is your soul.”

Empress Qinglian’s voice finally transmitted out.

“Is this to temper my soul power?”

“Correct.”

Empress Qinglian said: “That wheel was refined by a Talisman Emperor of the past. It is one of the best magic treasures in heaven and earth for cultivating spiritual power. How far you can reach with this rare opportunity today depends entirely on your own fortune.”

Lu Jin said: “But I don’t have any spiritual martial arts as support. Do I just tough it out like this?”

“Correct. Just tough it out.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Empress Qinglian: “Current you, even if given a spiritual martial art, wouldn’t know how to use it. The elementary stage is about laying the foundation, relying entirely on toughing it out. I hope you can last a bit longer.”

After saying this, Empress Qinglian vanished into silence.

“Fine! I’ll tough it out!”

Lu Jin clenched his teeth, feeling the wheel rolling back and forth over his soul body. His only conviction was to survive it every single time!

The spiritual power on this wheel came entirely from the feedback within the Coffin of Burying Heaven. And the source of that feedback was entirely that Radiance Soul Beast!

He didn’t know how long he could persist, nor if the Soul Beast’s attack power would change. All he could do right now was hold on!

The power fed back to the wheel by the Coffin of Burying Heaven became increasingly intense, and the Radiance Soul Beast’s spiritual attack was obviously surging as well!

Seeing its own spiritual power being constantly devoured, a human-like look of disbelief appeared in the beastly eyes of the Radiance Soul Beast.

Roar!!!

It suddenly threw its head back and roared at the sky, its terrifying spiritual power surging abruptly!

At that precise moment, Lu Jin could clearly feel the terrifying aura erupting from the Wheel of Spiritual Power. If there was even a shred more power, this soul body of his would very likely explode!

And if he didn’t forcefully devour it through the Coffin of Burying Heaven, his physical body would very likely be crushed directly!

“Vile beast!”

Just in this moment of imminent peril, a heaven-shaking shout suddenly rang out. A terrifying force instantly swept through the void for a hundred zhang, and the spiritual power erupted by the Radiance Soul Beast disintegrated instantly!

“Hm? Such terrifying power!”

Amidst his surprise, Lu Jin was shocked by the strength of the newcomer.

His soul was instantly extracted, returning to the real world. However, in that space, the spiritual power within the wheel still existed.

This surprised Lu Jin. He hadn’t expected his spiritual power could be extracted!

“This is a spiritual cultivation ground. You can enter again when you wish to cultivate.”

Empress Qinglian’s cold voice transmitted out again.

“So that’s it…”

Lu Jin nodded, then looked at the space ahead.

A tall, slender man stood proudly in the void, his aura rolling around him, his long hair dancing in the wind, flying wildly behind him.

However, this person wore a black mask, making his true face indistinguishable.

Lu Jin frowned.

For some reason, he seemed to detect a trace of a familiar scent from this person.

Roar!!!

With its sky-filling spiritual power shattered, the Radiance Soul Beast threw its head back and roared again. Spiritual attacks swept out once more, transforming into a colorless vortex that rushed toward the black-masked expert!

“The Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit ripens once every hundred years. You can go back and wait another hundred years! If you remain stubborn today, this Seat will take your vile life!”

Boom…

The moment the expert’s voice fell, a terrifying Spiritual Power whistled out, enveloping a radius of five hundred zhang. Under this pressure, it seemed everything could be crushed into powder in the next instant!

“It’s actually Spiritual Power!”

Lu Jin frowned in astonishment. What this person displayed was entirely pure Spiritual Power, not the Spiritual Energy fluctuations erupted by ordinary cultivators.

Between Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Power, there was a world of difference!

A huge reason for his own rapid cultivation progress was that the Coffin of Burying Heaven could refine items containing Spiritual Energy into Spiritual power to feed back to him!

“This person’s cultivation is unfathomable. Who exactly is he?”
