Devouring Soul Emperor

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Slaying 14 in a Row

After settling the matter with the Pill Cauldron.

Chu Qingyun took out the five stalks of Tier Four Spiritual Medicine, the Earth Vein Ginseng, that he had just bought at the auction.

The Earth Vein Ginseng was about the size of a regular ginseng and also had long rootlets.

However, it was wreathed in a hazy, earth-yellow Spiritual Power, giving it a somewhat misty appearance.

He carefully inspected all five, and after confirming there were no issues, Chu Qingyun once again unleashed his Devouring Power, enveloping the five stalks of Earth Vein Ginseng.

The Spiritual Medicine had little to no resistance against the Devouring Power.

The five stalks of Earth Vein Ginseng withered at a visible rate as the Devouring Power consumed them. Soon, all their Essence of Spiritual Medicine was gone, leaving only dry, cracked skins wrapped around the remaining impurities.

’Using Devouring Power is so much more convenient than using Primordial Power!’

Chu Qingyun couldn’t help but recall the time he refined the Tier Three Wood-type Spiritual Medicine.

The next step, naturally, was to use his Devouring Martial Soul for refining the Essence of Spiritual Medicine and then perform Inscription Refining to create the Fourth Layer of the Earth Pattern on his body.

This was all second nature to Chu Qingyun, and he completed it with ease.

With the Divine Pattern perfected, Chu Qingyun’s body began to radiate a faint, earth-yellow glow.

With the Fourth Layer of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, combined with the enhancement his body had just received from that turquoise power, Chu Qingyun’s strength had once again increased dramatically!

A Tier Four Martial Soul, the Fourth Layer of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, and his Thunder Light Sword Qi that had grown to over twenty centimeters long—Chu Qingyun was now confident he could easily defeat an ordinary Tier Three Martial Spirit.

After finishing all this, Chu Qingyun went out again to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower to buy some more Spiritual Medicine. He returned and refined a few elixirs.

Since he had decided to go rescue them, it was only natural to be fully prepared.

Otherwise, if he failed to save them and got himself captured in the process, it would be no laughing matter.

After a night’s rest, Liu Canghai came running to find Chu Qingyun early the next morning, looking extremely anxious.

Fearing that Chu Qingyun would actually report him, Liu Canghai had been too anxious to sleep all night.

This time, Chu Qingyun didn’t toy with him any further and left the city with him.

The two of them rode wildly for the better part of the morning, arriving at a stretch of barren mountains outside Lianshan County City.

After entering a valley, Liu Canghai suddenly leaped from his horse, jumping up onto a nearby mountain in just a few bounds.

Obviously, they had arrived. Liu Canghai, fearing that Chu Qingyun would kill him with a single palm strike, had hastily fled.

Soon, figures from the Martial Soul Hall appeared on the surrounding mountains.

Every single one of them had a powerful aura; they were all in the Martial Spirit Realm.

However, Chu Qingyun noticed that the vast majority were only Tier One Martial Spirits. Furthermore, their auras were just like the five he had encountered as a Half-Step Martial Spirit—powerful, yet unstable.

Just then, a young man with sharp eyes, carrying an oddly shaped longsword, appeared on the mountain opposite Chu Qingyun. Liu Canghai followed behind him, and the surrounding Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirits were all very respectful toward him.

"So you’re Chu Qingyun?"

The sharp-eyed man stared at Chu Qingyun, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"And you must be Mu?"

Surrounded by so many Martial Spirit Realm experts, Chu Qingyun was not the least bit afraid, meeting Mu’s gaze head-on.

"Oh? You know my name. Did Liu Canghai tell you?" Mu seemed a little surprised.

"Hmph. Liu Canghai told me more than just your name," Chu Qingyun said with a cold laugh.

Hearing this, Mu shot a sideways glance at Liu Canghai. "Useless trash!"

Liu Canghai’s eye twitched, his expression turning ugly, but he didn’t dare say a word.

"Enough nonsense. Where are they?" Chu Qingyun stared at Mu and said loudly.

"Relax. I, Mu, wouldn’t stoop to tricking you!"

After speaking, Mu clapped his hands.

From the mountain to Chu Qingyun’s left, five wooden frames were pushed out. Xia He, Xiao Feng, and the other three were all tied to them.

A chain shimmering with Primordial Power was locked around each of their abdomens, likely sealing their Primordial Power.

Seeing that Chu Qingyun had really come, all five showed looks of desperation and struggled frantically.

However, their mouths were tightly gagged, making them unable to speak. They could only make muffled sounds.

"Chu Qingyun, the men are all here. Whether or not you can save them depends on your own ability!"

With that, Mu waved his hand. More than ten figures swooped down from the surrounding mountains, lunging at Chu Qingyun. A few of them even activated their True Martial Souls mid-air.

Fourteen in total!

However, they were all Tier One Martial Spirits—and the kind with unstable auras and Primordial Power.

’Courting death?’

Chu Qingyun let out a cold laugh. "Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine!"

He unleashed his Tier Four Martial Soul. A towering Martial Soul Illusion materialized behind him, its formidable aura causing the fourteen Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirits to falter.

"Go!"

Ten vines grew with extreme speed, shooting out in all directions and precisely ensnaring ten of them.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingyun leaped forward. With two flashes of his sword, he directly blasted two Tier One Martial Spirits apart!

With his current strength, a casual swing of his sword was enough to obliterate this type of Tier One Martial Spirit with an unstable foundation.

After devouring their Martial Soul Power, Chu Qingyun discovered that they indeed only possessed Tier Two Martial Souls.

At that moment, the last two charged forward. Chu Qingyun’s eyes turned cold. He sheathed his Thundercloud Sword and grabbed one in each hand, pulling them directly into his grasp.

’Devouring Power!’

Chu Qingyun roared in his mind as the Devouring Power erupted from his palms, rapidly consuming the two men’s Primordial Power.

In just five or six seconds, the Primordial Power of the two Tier One Martial Spirits from the Martial Soul Hall was almost completely devoured by Chu Qingyun!

"Die!"

Before completely devouring them, a powerful surge of Primordial Power erupted from Chu Qingyun’s palms, violently blowing the two men to pieces!

During this absorption, Chu Qingyun discovered that his Devouring Power seemed much stronger than before, and it had also become easier to control.

’Could it be because the Devouring Martial Soul absorbed that turquoise power?’

Chu Qingyun didn’t have time to dwell on it. Since his Devouring Power was so much stronger, he couldn’t let it go to waste.

He channeled his Devouring Power, hiding it within the vines of the Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine, and devoured all the Primordial Power from the ten captured Tier One Martial Spirits!

After devouring the Primordial Power of twelve Tier One Martial Spirits in a row, the Primordial Liquid in Chu Qingyun’s Qi Sea had increased by a small amount.

The remaining Martial Soul Hall Martial Spirits on the surrounding mountains all wore grim expressions, staring daggers at Chu Qingyun.

Even the few Tier Two and Tier Three Martial Spirits among them had grave expressions.

To so easily slaughter fourteen Tier One Martial Spirits—even if they were all trash who had been forcefully promoted—was not so simple!!!!!!
