Destined Martial Lord

Chen KaiTai had died. He knelt in front of Ye Fan, lowering his proud head at the very last moment of his life.

"Phew …"

Ye Fan let out a long sigh, then sat down cross-legged on the ground. He took out a Spirit-Restoring Pill and swallowed it. His nearly dried up Qi Sea finally began to regain its vitality.

After about half an hour, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body had recovered to around 20%. He was now able to happily absorb Chen KaiTai's soul piece.

However, he chose to make a move on Deacon Chen. After all, this was a Spirit Fusion Stage powerhouse. The spiritual energy within his body was the best tonic for Ye Fan!

A black star appeared in Ye Fan's left hand, slowly fusing into Deacon Chen's body.

"No way, no way! It's actually a fourth grade Destiny Soul Battle Soul!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but be surprised. He originally thought that Deacon Chen would at least have a sixth grade lifeform, but he didn't think that he would actually be fourth grade. No wonder he could only stay in the Spirit Fusion realm at such an age.

Although Deacon Chen's soul piece couldn't enter Ye Fan's eyes, the spiritual energy that he was devouring made Ye Fan feel extremely good. The Spirit Fusion Realm was truly worthy of being called the Spirit Fusion Realm. Its spiritual energy was as vast as the sea, and Ye Fan's realm also rapidly increased.

Middle stage of the seventh level of the Soul Formation stage.

Peak of the seventh level of the Soul Formation stage.

Eighth level Soul Formation!

It was just a corpse, but it had raised Ye Fan's cultivation by a small realm.

One had to know that the path of cultivation only slowed down as one progressed. Of course, the increase in strength was also greater. For example, now that Ye Fan had advanced from the seventh level of Soul Formation to the eighth level of Soul Formation, the spiritual energy in his Aura Sea had increased by ten percent.

If it was just a large breakthrough, not only would the spiritual energy value change, but the physical body also improve.

Deacon Chen's body quickly turned into a mummy, and Ye Fan once again fused the Star Battle Soul into Chen KaiTai's corpse.

A seventh grade Destiny Battle Soul, Frost Sky Wolf Soul!

Right now, Ye Fan's Astral Battle Soul had five battle souls surrounding it, but it didn't have a grade seven soul piece. Ye Fan decisively replaced it with the grade five Earth Bear soul. With the Battle Soul of the Golden Bell, this Earth Bear soul was somewhat useless.

Very quickly, an icy-blue wolf soul floated around the astral battle spirit, faintly becoming the leader of the five souls.

It was truly worthy of being a seventh grade Battle-Soul. At the moment it was obtained, it actually awakened two types of enhancements and a type of innate soul skill.

Speed increased by sixty percent, attack increased by thirty percent, and his martial spirit ability was frozen into an arrow.

"Others have already escaped, why are you still here?"

Afterwards, Ye Fan put away the remaining corpses and found a bandit who was currently hiding in a corner, shivering.

"Hero, spare me!" Hero, spare me! "I've been a bandit for five or six years, but I've never killed a single person, not even a chicken. I've always been a gatekeeper."

This Mountain Bandit was clearly very timid. When he saw Ye Fan, he kowtowed like a chick pecking at rice.

"Take me to the treasury in the mountain stronghold, then go down the mountain."

Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle. From the looks of it, this bandit was no slick person. What he wanted to tell her was the truth.

"Great Hero, please follow me."

This mountain bandit acted as if he had received an amnesty. He hastily brought Ye Fan to the entrance of a cave. This was where the bandit kept his belongings before leaving in great gratitude.

As Ye Fan walked into the cave, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The Black Wind Bandits had dominated the area for dozens of years, so their accumulation was astonishing.

However, most of them were gold, silver, and jewelry. Less than thirty percent of them were spirit materials for cultivation. After all, there were more than three hundred bandits, so the consumption was quite large.

With a wave of his hand, all of this wealth was stored within Ye Fan's Starry Night Ring. After leaving this place, Ye Fan would definitely be able to exchange these treasures for cultivation spiritual materials.

Afterwards, Ye Fan began absorbing the energy from Chen Kaitai's and the bandits' corpses. However, this time, he didn't use it to raise his cultivation. Instead, he used it to cultivate his Heavenly Sword Physique.

This was because he had found several types of spirit materials from Deacon Chen and Chen KaiTai. Coupled with some spirit materials from the bandit's treasury, he had managed to gather the materials needed to cultivate the second level of Heavenly Sword Body.

After spending a large amount of spirit materials, when the sky brightened, Ye Fan opened his eyes. His Heavenly Sword Body had finally reached the second major completion stage, and his body's quality had doubled in effect.

Ye Fan stood up and walked over to a rock wall made of granite. Stretching out a finger, he suddenly poked at it!

Rumble rumble rumble!

The entire rock wall suddenly caved in, stirring up a large amount of dust.

Ye Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. This was only the strength of his own body. He hadn't used the slightest bit of spiritual power, and he had only used fifty percent of his strength to achieve this effect.

If he used his full strength, he might even be able to break through the mountain wall.

The most important thing was that after reaching the large success stage of Heavenly Sword Body, Ye Fan would be able to cultivate one of the secret techniques recorded in the Heaven's Sword Art — Heavenly Sword Ocean Splitting Art!

This was a secret technique to reform and condense the Qi Sea. It could even split the Qi Sea into two halves, which was equivalent to having two Qi Seas. Thus, the amount of spirit energy stored could be multiplied.

Furthermore, it could condense the second aura sea into a sea of sword energy. It could condense the spiritual energy into the power of sword energy within the second aura sea.
