Boom boom boom!!
The energy of the Supreme Hell is even more domineering, scattering all the power within Jiang Hou's body the moment it enters, whether it's the tumultuous Divine Weapon Origin or Demon Essence.
Several energies fused into a black-red force, circulating within Jiang Hou's body along the more complete route of the Prison Suppressing True Form.
Instantly, an aura belonging to the realm of Tier Seven spread out.
As Jiang Hou's realm began to break through, his consciousness was almost shattered by the terrifying intent that entered with the Hell energy.
Clearly, it was just a barely detectable trace of ancient residual intent, yet it was extremely domineering, sweeping everything with the majesty of overlooking billions of beings.
No matter how powerful and resilient Jiang Hou considered his consciousness to be, it could not withstand it, being pressed down by that terrifying intent, and finally felt a sudden release throughout.
At the same time, his consciousness arrived at a twisted world.
In this place, half of the land and sky were serene with gentle breezes and swaying trees, while the other half was covered in rolling black clouds and cracked, filled with a sense of oppressive destruction.
"This place... is where my soul resides." Jiang Hou's consciousness felt both astonishment and curiosity.
Unexpectedly encountering his own soul in this manner, although facing the invasion of ancient will, Jiang Hou who arrived here felt no anxiety or unease.
It seemed that his 'soul' was not afraid of that trace of invincible ancient will at all.
Boom!
The heaven and earth within the soul world trembled, the sky shattered, cracking open with massive fissures, and behind the fissures stood a vague figure that couldn't be clearly seen.
Boom!
The soul space shook and shattered again, a hand descending with the power of Heaven and Earth Destruction, intending to annihilate Jiang Hou's consciousness in one strike.
At the instant the all-covering hand enveloped him, a surge of intense anger erupted from Jiang Hou's heart.
Roar!
An ancient and vast roar resonated throughout the soul world, as the land in the middle of the world shattered and a black-furred arm reached out.
This arm resembled a mountain, reaching the sky and earth, with a palm that dwarfed the manifestation of ancient intent several times over.
Boom!
In the tremor of the soul world, the black arm grabbed the ancient intent's hand, and an indescribable terrifying force erupted.
Instantly, the sky collapsed, and the ancient intent's phantom was pulled into the depths of the soul world by the arm, disappearing into the shattered earth.
"Swallow... Heaven..."
Amidst the seemingly present yet absent muffled voice, Jiang Hou's consciousness was pushed out of the soul world by a powerful repelling force, returning to the outside.
Just having returned to the 'body', streams of esoteric information poured into Jiang Hou's consciousness, bringing him into a state of semi-sleep.
Outside
The visions in Divine Palace Feiyue's eyes had disappeared, leaving only the rolling black-red demonic energy covering the square, with Jiang Hou sitting cross-legged amidst the rolling demonic energy.
Across Jiang Hou's knees lay the Yama Prison Demon Blade, with a row of thorns growing from its blade, emitting a dark red bloody light that enveloped him.
Meanwhile, behind Jiang Hou stood two ghostly shadows towering a hundred meters high, like guardian spirits accompanying Jiang Hou as he broke through.
Even with Divine Palace Feiyue's strength, gazing at those two ghostly shadows in her eyes involuntarily showed apprehension.
Clearly just 'power projections', yet Divine Palace Feiyue had the illusion that they were true forms of Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts, feeling somewhat threatened.
As for that trace of descending ancient will, she hoped Jiang Hou could withstand it. Divine Palace Feiyue's expression was serious.
That scene she also experienced before, nearly being taken over by the ancient will triggered by Ancient Angel's Feather, fortunately resisting the erosion and corruption in the end.
However, with Jiang Hou progressing to this realm at an astonishing speed, it should be fine, right?
Behind Divine Palace Feiyue, three pairs of pure white wings unfolded, and angelic hymns faintly echoed in the void, with the invisibly emitted white light becoming increasingly gentle.
These white lights merged with the black-red hellish demonic energy without causing conflict, eventually covering Jiang Hou's entire body, intertwining with the red bloody light.
Under the chorus of Angel's Hymn, Jiang Hou's furrowed brows visibly relaxed considerably.
Because of Divine Palace Feiyue's command, even with the overwhelming momentum of Jiang Hou's breakthrough, not a single Transcendent from the Ancient God Research Institute disturbed him.
Of course, not disturbing did not mean they weren't curious.
Feeling the increasingly terrifying aura on the field behind them, many Transcendents blinked onto rooftops or treetops.
However, they couldn't see what was happening in the rolling black-red demonic energy in the rear.
Time passed, with the sun starting to veer westward from noon.
Wait until sunset disappeared on the horizon, and as night was about to fall, Jiang Hou surrounded by black-red demonic energy slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of black-red pupils.
The gaze of these black-red eyes was majestic and cold, like an ancient emperor that existed for billions of years.
Instantly, Divine Palace Feiyue was startled, almost thinking Jiang Hou had failed.
But then Jiang Hou blinked slightly, the ancient meaning in his eyes disappeared, and his gaze returned to a normal calmness tinged with a faint detachment.
"I'm fine, senior sister."
Jiang Hou slowly spoke, then moved his thoughts to summon the attribute page.
Name: Jiang Hou
Level: Flesh Side [Mid-tier Six→Late-tier Six] Divine Weapon Side [Early-tier Seven, Hell Power: 154304]
Strength: 23810→26420
Agility: 14724→19884
Soul: 302→455
Seal of Inheritance
Divine Weapon: Yama Prison Demon Blade [Level: Five Stars, 5th Floor of Hell's Demon Suppression: Yama True Form 10/100]
Yama's Secret Technique: Soul-Sealing Instant Slash, Hell Descent, Supreme Throne [Standing on the Hell Throne, all Divine Weapon Techniques are in an awakened state, gaining twelve-fold power enhancement]
Derived Conceptual Divine Weapon: All Heavens Life and Death Book [In charge of life and death, judging sins] All Heavens and Earth Hell Wheel [Carrying the power of a hell, suppressing heaven and earth]
Beast Transformation
Bloodline: Purgatory Celestial Divine Ape [Top-tier Legendary Beast, Second Evolution, Current Height 115→119.4 meters...]
This breakthrough greatly enhanced all aspects of Jiang Hou's strength.
Flesh side directly stepped into the late-tier six, with the growth of the foundation leading to a four-meter increase in the giant beast form, equivalent to consuming three Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts.
By now, the growth consumption of one meter in the Purgatory Divine Ape is several times that before.
However, the biggest change was in the Yama Prison Demon Blade, where the Divine Weapon Power system note independent of it turned into exclusive secret techniques.
Furthermore, the originally illusory All Heavens and Earth Hell Wheel and the inherited All Heavens Life and Death Book from the Divine Weapon Fragment evolved into conceptual divine weapons this time.
These divine weapons are derived from the Yama Prison Demon Blade, similar to materialized abilities of a cultivation technique elevated to the extreme.
As for their power, only a trial can reveal how strong they are.
And the greatest gain from this breakthrough was that Jiang Hou finally understood why his beast transformation was 'not large enough'.
Because his soul was shackled, bound in the depths of the soul world by his subconscious as a 'human', thus unable to fully release the power belonging to the giant beast, unable to become a true Heaven and Earth Giant Beast.
And unlocking the shackle is simple, release the beast nature, let both self-awareness and subconscious believe they are a giant beast, a Heaven and Earth Giant Beast.
