Chapter 217: A Leap in Combat Prowess, Jiang Chen's Surprise Attack

"Let's begin!" Jiang Chen retrieved a Dao Comprehension realm Nether Soul Crystal. His hands clasped and fingers entwined, he nestled the crystal within his palms.

Immediately thereafter, the Dao Yuan Power within him followed a unique pathway, beginning to circulate.

With the aid of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Jiang Chen's soul force meticulously interfaced with the Nether Soul Crystal, progressively purifying it.

Everything was advancing without a hitch.

Shortly, the initial Nether Soul Crystal was wholly purified!

Filled with immense anticipation and elation, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning watched as Jiang Chen positioned the purified Nether Soul Crystal between his eyebrows, ready to activate another secret art.

In an instant, a massive influx of extraordinarily pure soul force poured into the Void Tribulation Soul.

"Ah! Such immense soul energy!" Shangguan Ning exclaimed, her eyes widening in amazement.

Nangong Wan nodded in agreement, "The restoration speed surpasses even direct absorption from the cultivation base's power!"

"My soul has immediately rebounded to the Inquiring Journey realm, and it's persistently rejuvenating. This is extraordinary!"

Both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, sensing their own souls intensifying, were on the verge of joyful tears.

Time steadily ticked away.

The confrontation outside was still ongoing.

Assuming that Jiang Chen had retreated due to the cessation of his secret art's effects, and wouldn't possess the energy for another skirmish soon, Long Tianlu began handling Mo Yu with newfound confidence.

He was reluctant to exacerbate his wounds by invoking the power of the Transcendence realm.

Of course, even a famished camel is still larger than a horse.

Even so, Mo Yu's wounds were becoming increasingly serious, to the point where he had to consume his half of the Jade Thunder Vigor Infusion Pill!

Without the pill, he would be risking his life to activate the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword for even greater power.

After consuming half of the Jade Thunder Vigor Infusion Pill, Mo Yu's combat power amplified, allowing him to persist in his entangled battle with Long Tianlu!

Within the Holy Land Grand Hall, Jiang Chen diligently purified each Nether Soul Crystal, subsequently employing them to rejuvenate the residual souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

When all the Nether Soul Crystals had been expended, the residual souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had already returned to the Dao Palace realm!

At this juncture, both of them were constituents of Jiang Chen's Heaven-Defying Fate Changer 'Void Tribulation Soul', their souls directly reinforcing Jiang Chen.

In the past, the souls of Nangong and Shangguan were only at the Heavenly Origin realm, and with the Void Tribulation Soul's initial boosting effect, they allowed Jiang Chen's soul to ascend to the Dao Comprehension realm.

Now, having been rejuvenated to the Dao Palace realm, Jiang Chen's soul had likewise achieved the Dao Palace realm!

But the process wasn't complete yet.

The mysterious energy accumulated within the Wordless Heavenly Jade had not yet been tapped into.

Jiang Chen intended to train in the cultivation methods that enhance the soul and provide soul-based assaults!

Shortly, guided by the suggestions of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, he opted for the soul-based methods, 'One Thought Vanishing Moon' and 'Silent Sacred Heart'!

Both methods could amplify the soul and respectively possessed offensive and defensive capabilities for the soul.

In addition, he also selected the body refinement techniques, 'Tyrant Body Channels Ultimate Intent Secrets', 'Benevolent Monarch Heavenly Wheel Scripture', and the self-inflicting power-enhancing secret art, 'Heavenly Blood Surge Secrets'!

All these cultivation methods were of the Dao Palace realm!

'Wordless Heavenly Jade!' A thought streaked across Jiang Chen's mind, and within mere moments, he had mastered all five cultivation methods to the perfect-level stage.

Each of these perfect-level Dao Palace realm methods notably amplified Jiang Chen's soul and body!

At this juncture, his soul level had already touched the peak of the Dao Palace realm!

If not for the lower realm of his cultivation base, which curbed the effectiveness of the cultivation methods, Jiang Chen could have potentially advanced further, approaching the brink of the Half-step Transcendence realm!

As for his physical body, its power surged substantially from within.

Within his dantian and meridians, the storage capacity for Dao Yuan Power directly expanded tenfold.

The flow rate of Yuan Power he could sustain while casting spells also shot up dramatically!

This set the stage for Jiang Chen's battle power to leap across realms.

'System, display my panel!' With a mere thought, Jiang Chen summoned his detailed information.

'Incredible! My combat prowess has advanced across two major realms compared to my cultivation base!' Jiang Chen thought to himself, eyes scanning his information panel in awe. 'This is the gargantuan effect brought forth by the three Heaven-Defying Fate Changers!' His heart swelled with anticipation.

However, he didn't squander any time. He promptly activated the concealment function of the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring, and then bolted from the Holy Land Grand Hall!

Outside the Holy Land, the conflict had already escalated to a boiling point.

Countless demonic beasts were scattered outside the protective formation of the Holy Land, and a significant number of Holy Land disciples were drained, with some even having fallen in battle.

The protective formation of the Holy Land was also slightly unstable.

Beyond the formation, Mo Yu, brandishing the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword, was ceaselessly entangled in battle with Long Tianlu.

His body was drenched in fresh blood, and his skin was riddled with fissures, a repercussion of repeatedly utilizing a self-damaging secret art.

Fortunately, he had the Jade Thunder Vigor Infusion Pill provided by Jiang Chen as external support. Even though it had side effects, it was considerably better than a secret art that drained one's own life force.

Despite Mo Yu being severely wounded and teetering on the brink of collapse, he hadn't yet reached the point of total exhaustion.

"Weak human elder, struggle, despair!" Long Tianlu taunted, his eyes gleaming with malevolence.

Noticing that Mo Yu was nearing collapse, he erupted into fits of deranged laughter. "Hahahaha! This is the spectacle I savor the most." His voice echoed with sadistic glee.

In his view, with Mo Yu's demise, the entire Purple Heaven Holy Land would be as docile as a lamb prepared for slaughter, ripe for his rapid ravaging and defilement.

The remaining disciples of the Purple Heaven Holy Land who dared to resist would be massacred, and the rest would be transmuted into demonic cultivators, serving under his rule!

With the Purple Heaven Holy Land as his stronghold, he could not only expand outwards more effectively, but also secure and perfect the Bottomless Abyss, ushering over even more of the Nether Soul Demon Clan!

In this way, unifying the Immortal Martial Continent would be merely a matter of days within his reach!

Yet, as Long Tianlu indulged in his grand designs, Jiang Chen materialized silently beside him.

'Heavenly Blood Surge Secrets! Vigorous Sift Diagram! Shattered Sky Secret!' With unwavering intent, Jiang Chen concentrated, letting his energy flow as his aura surged to the Late-stage Dao Palace realm.

The lingering souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning fused with Jiang Chen's, and utilizing the 'One Thought Vanishing Moon', they instantaneously launched a soul attack that exceeded the power of a typical Dao Palace realm!

The duo of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were once formidable powerhouses on the cusp of entering the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path.

Even if only their residual souls persisted and their power was still at the Dao Palace realm, their solid foundation made the soul attack they executed simply unparalleled to cultivators of the same realm.

Adding Jiang Chen's soul, various power-amplifying secret arts, and the profound soul-based attack methods, the soul onslaught that the trio had collaborated to deploy had faintly reached the Transcendence realm!

The velocity of the soul attack was simply too swift, virtually impossible to ward off.

Moreover, with Jiang Chen's current cultivation base activating the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring for concealment, by the time Long Tianlu detected it, the attack had already landed on him!

In a flash, the unguarded Long Tianlu was brutally struck at the back of his neck by Jiang Chen's close-range soul attack!

In addition to this, Jiang Chen's body also unleashed a substantial amount of Sword Dao power, violently bombarding Long Tianlu's body!
