Chapter 2212: Zhang Xuan's Soul Breaks Through to God King

Although Feng Jiuge's cultivation had dropped by two years, his soul and will had been extremely well tempered.

From being a family prodigy to being cast out... the great ups and downs, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, had made his soul incredibly resilient. It was precisely for this reason that the God King Barrier-Breaking Pill could achieve its maximum effect, allowing him to succeed in his breakthrough!

For anyone else without such experience, even with the pill, succeeding would not be so easy.

Of course, to clear the gray气流 left in his body, the Heavenly Dao true energy had scoured his interior for a long time, which also greatly aided the breakthrough.

After an unknown period, Feng Jiuge finally consolidated his cultivation, opened his eyes, and knelt again: "Thank you, Teacher, for your grace..."

If not for his teacher, he might now be wandering outside, waiting for death. It was the other who had given him a new life and bestowed infinite power.

"No need to be polite..." Zhang Xuan nodded. "How do you feel? What is your current strength?"

Standing up and sensing, Feng Jiuge said: "The true energy in my body has broken through to the God King realm, but my soul is still somewhat weak. It may need a long period of nurturing to match..."

Although he had experienced much, he was still too young, and his soul was somewhat lacking.

Nourished by the power of the God King breakthrough, it had greatly improved, but for a true God King powerhouse, it remained a shortcoming.

"The soul is the hardest to cultivate, even more difficult than true energy..."

Having finally adjusted to the fact of Feng Jiuge's breakthrough, Feng Hanqiu came over.

In cultivation, true energy can be nourished by spiritual energy and countless tonics, but the soul's progress is truly too difficult.

Like him, he too had broken through to the God King realm, but his soul, like the other's, was still far from fully mastering this power.

"Yes, it is indeed hard to grow..." Zhang Xuan sighed.

With the commotion caused by the Barrier-Breaking Pill and Beauty Pill, his soul had only reached the peak of upper-grade Heavenly God, still some distance from a breakthrough, showing the difficulty.

Just as he was sighing and before he finished, he suddenly felt a vast surge of willing power rushing over and entering his soul.

His soul power, which had been at the upper-grade Heavenly God level, immediately began to increase visibly.

"..." His pupils contracted, and Zhang Xuan's eyes widened.

In that instant, the willing power surging in was actually a hundred, a thousand times greater than before!

"Could it be that some titled God Kings are thinking of me? And more than a dozen at once?"

He was filled with disbelief.

The suddenly appearing willing power was not only abundant but also extremely pure, as if more than a dozen titled God Kings had suddenly started missing him...

Boom!

Before he could be shocked, his soul could no longer be controlled, and an invincible aura spread out.

Soul breakthrough... God King realm!

"..." Feng Hanqiu was driven crazy again.

Brother, can you make your breakthrough any more casual?

Just now I saw your true energy breakthrough, found it incredible but still acceptable, and now you break through in soul so quickly and so fiercely...

What exactly are you trying to do?

Fine, I give up!

You have this ability, but... why did you just agree with me that the soul is hard to cultivate?

Hard my foot! Your true energy is only at the peak of upper-grade Heavenly God, yet your soul has already broken through to God King...

Can it get any more absurd...

Trembling incessantly, Feng Hanqiu was just wondering how to console himself when he discovered that something even more absurd... was still happening!

The soul of the man before him, after breaking through to the God King realm, showed no sign of stopping.

God King initial stage!

God King middle stage!

...

In the blink of an eye, his soul power reached the God King peak.

Only then did the rapid advancement slow down...

"..."

His eyes moist, Feng Hanqiu wanted to cry.

He had thought that breaking through during the competition would be enough to show off and shake the world, and with that momentum, he came to find the number one of the Fire Phoenix clan to make him acknowledge his strength...

Who knew that after arriving, all he saw was crushing...

A soul breakthrough...

This is something even harder than true energy, and not only did he break through, but he also visibly rose realm by realm...

The others who came with him were also too crushed to speak.

"What a pity, I don't have a cultivation technique, so I can't break through to God King in true energy..."

As the soul advancement stopped, Zhang Xuan was full of regret.

Although he didn't know where so many titled God Kings suddenly came from to miss him, being able to break through was best, better than being stuck in place.

After all, his soul had not progressed much for five days, and now reaching the God King peak laid an excellent foundation for his cultivation breakthrough to God King.

"Let's try!"

Feeling his soul power, which was almost tangible, Zhang Xuan focused his mind, and the space before him immediately rippled, as if about to tear at any moment.

"This is the power of a God King?"

His eyes widened.

He had fought with God Kings before and thought their strength was just so-so. Now that his soul had broken through, he understood that an upper-grade Heavenly God was a completely different concept in comparison.

Not to mention true energy, just soul suppression alone could immobilize the opponent, preventing them from even using their true energy.

With this strength, if he encountered Baiye Qinghong again, even without using the Book of Heavenly Dao and the little yellow chick, it wouldn't be so easy for the other to kill him.

Although he still couldn't win, he now had the capital to contend.

"When my true energy also breaks through, I should be able to kill someone like Baiye Qinghong..."

Although the gap between God King and titled God King is enormous, with his cultivation technique surpassing the Heavenly Dao and his powerful soul, as long as his cultivation broke through, he should be able to truly fight, even... kill!

With this strength, he was also a step closer to Luo Ruoxin.

After sensing the power within, Zhang Xuan exhaled and came back to his senses. Just as he was about to check if Feng Jiuge had any aftereffects from his breakthrough, he saw a middle-aged man standing before him, full of excitement.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

"I am the clan leader of the Fire Phoenix clan..." the middle-aged man said.

"Clan leader?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

Since arriving at this clan, he had met the Great Elder and Second Elder, but this was the first time he saw the clan leader.

"Junior... Feng Xuan, greets the clan leader!" He quickly bowed with clasped hands.

"You have broken through in soul and are now a God King realm powerhouse. In terms of seniority, you are on the same level as me..." The clan leader quickly pulled him up.

In a clan like Fire Phoenix, many powerhouses have infinite lifespans, and seniority can no longer be finely distinguished. As long as they are not direct relatives, those of the same rank can be considered peers.

Knowing this rule, Zhang Xuan said no more and nodded. Just as he was about to ask what the other wanted, he saw the middle-aged man look at him with excitement.

"Your soul has broken through to the God King peak. With such talent, you might pass the titled God King test and achieve even greater heights..."

The clan leader looked at him with anticipation: "Before that... are you interested in succeeding me as the clan leader of the Fire Phoenix clan?"
