Chapter 587: Chapter 573: Swallowing Regrets, Spiritual Fulfillment!_1

However, regardless of the cries of the purple-golden dragon transformed by Remnant Thoughts, Xiao Chen didn’t care at all, as it was a matter of life and death at this moment.

In dire straits, Xiao Chen detonated the Slaughter Spirit Spear, the lethal Combat Essence of which had almost reached perfection. The Soul Spear, condensed by pure slaughter thoughts, caused tremendous damage to Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea after its explosion.

If he couldn’t consume the Remnant Thoughts in front of him to compensate for the damage to his Soul Sea, he ran a high risk of sinking into the abyss. His Soul Sea might lose all its clarity and turn into chaos, which wouldn’t differ from living death. This could be said to be a desperate move in battle!

Knowing that this would be the consequence of detonating the Soul Spear, Xiao Chen decided to fight with all he had, as this was his only chance. After all, the Remnant Thoughts maintained a spiritual level comparable to the seven heavens of the Towering Realm, even after tens of thousands of years of wear and tear.

Xiao Chen detonated the Soul Spear, striking a severe blow to the Remnant Thoughts, and took the opportunity to reverse-consume them, replenishing his wounded spirit, and even further enhancing his spiritual willpower.

At this moment, one man and one dragon were engaged in the most primal melee combat. Both were illusions created by spiritual thoughts, consuming each other’s Soul Power to sustain themselves.

"I am the Divine Marquis, who slaughtered countless aliens and greatly served the human race. You are disrespecting your superior. Stop at once!"

At this moment, the purple-golden dragon became somewhat annoyed. Its two enormous dragon claws were torn off by Xiao Chen and transformed into spiritual nutrients. The damage caused by the Soul Spear’s explosion further weakened the dragon’s soul thoughts.

He was originally a vanished thought. After countless years, there wasn’t much remaining soul power. If he swallowed Xiao Chen, things would be better. But now, though Xiao Chen couldn’t compete with him, Xiao Chen was continuously devouring his soul power. As time passed, the remnant thought faced the risk of being consumed.

In his own Soul Sea, Xiao Chen had an inherent advantage - a thought could travel instantly, and the Soul Sea could expand infinitely. With one thought, the giant that emerged could appear anywhere in the Soul Sea.

The dragon transformed from the Remnant Thoughts simply couldn’t catch his figure. Perhaps in its prime, it could have forced Xiao Chen to a corner with all its Soul Power. However, now severely injured and filled with holes like a sieve, how could it attack Xiao Chen?

Often, by the time the dragon’s claw landed, Xiao Chen’s figure had already appeared elsewhere, grabbing a piece of the dragon’s soul body and absorbing it into his Soul Sea. Little by little, Xiao was weakening the soul power of the Remnant Thoughts.

Once the Soul Power of the Remnant Thoughts dropped to a certain level, in turn, Xiao Chen would be able to consume it completely with his absolute strength.

"Stop! Stop! I, the Marquis, won’t devour your spirit anymore. If you let me go, I will give you the Half-King Divine Golden Sword as an apology!"

Despite the dragon’s roars, Xiao Chen turned a blind eye. His figure was constantly phasing in and out in the Sea of Soul, tearing pieces of soul body from the dragon’s body. Although the amount each time wasn’t significant, the dragon, despite its vast size, would eventually be completely consumed.

"I will give you the ancient law that I discovered from ancient relics if you stop!"

"Do you think this clan leader will still believe your bluffs?"

"It’s true, it’s true! It’s a real ancient law!"

"Is that so?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth. Today, regardless of how eloquent this remnant thought was, he would not let it leave. "After completely consuming you, this clan leader will get that ancient law anyway!"

Within half an hour, the pain Xiao Chen initially felt deep within his spirit was gradually disappearing. With the replenishment of the Soul Power from the Remnant Thoughts, his spirit was rapidly recovering.

"Damn youngster, you are exterminating ancestors!"

"Sir Divine Marquis, you have done great services to the human race. Even though your body was broken and you resigned to your fate, you should have been worshipped by the younger generations. However, you are just a malicious thought left behind, with your independent thinking, the equivalent of a newborn. You even shamelessly identify yourself as the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis. In conclusion, you are just a remnant thought with no foundation."

"If the Divine Marquis back then knew that the remnant thought he left behind would cause such trouble, I wonder what he would think."

"Don’t mention that pedantic person. If he could let my remnant thought leave and search for others to seize and rebirth before he resigned to his fate, why would I have to be trapped in this gloomy secret realm for tens of thousands of years."

"It’s all his fault, utterly pedantic! He left me trapped in the secret realm for tens of thousands of years and drifted away a large amount of Soul Power. Otherwise, how would I, a small ancestor, pretend to be a snake? In the end, I was played by you, a boy. I am not willing! Supreme Dragon, did you calculate this before you died? I am not willing!"

At this moment, Remnant Thoughts no longer proclaimed itself as the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis. Instead, it gnashed its teeth at the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis, filled with endless resentment. Originally, it wanted to use the identity of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis to make Xiao Chen let down his guard, thereby seizing and being reborn. However, now it couldn’t even protect itself.

"It’s your greed. You are just a remnant thought, yet you dream of reversing your life."

With that, Xiao Chen pounced on the dragon again. Even though he had lost the Slaughter Spirit Spear, which had been comprehended with countless efforts, the comprehension was still there. Given some time, the Slaughter Spirit Spear could be restored.

After consuming this Remnant Thoughts, Xiao Chen could even feel that not only could his spirit compensate for the damage it had suffered, but it could also further upgrade his spirit.

Currently, his spiritual state was at the six heavens of the Towering Realm. Once he completely consumed this remnant soul, Xiao Chen estimated that even if he couldn’t reach the level of the seven heavens of the Towering Realm, he would reach the state of perfection at the six heavens.

"I’ve waited tens of thousands of years for this chance to take another body and live again. I won’t accept my life slipping away like this. If you want to devour my spirit, we will die together!"

The giant dragon soared upward, right into the sky of Soul Sea. Seeing that his painstakingly awaited reinhabiting after tens of thousands of years was slipping away, he decided to detonate his spirit, intending to pull Xiao Chen down with him.

"Condense!"

However, he forgot that he was in Xiao Chen’s spirit sea. When this ordeal first began, Xiao Chen was caught off guard and the dragon spirit was stronger than him. Because of this, in Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, he was dominant and Xiao Chen, the owner, didn’t dare to diminish his vigor.

But things have changed. Now, his spirit was seriously damaged, while Xiao Chen had even devoured most of his soul power. Gradually, Xiao Chen’s soul power equaled him, and even slightly surpassed him.

The tide of attack and defense changed, Xiao Chen regained the initiative within his own soul sea. Suddenly, his soul sea was filled with an immense soul force that bound the giant dragon; no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t fly into the Void again.

"It’s over!"

The next moment, endless soul power exploded within Xiao Chen’s soul sea, engulfing the giant dragon, completely wrapping it into a huge soul cocoon. On closer sense, the huge soul cocoon was slowly dissolving at an almost imperceptible speed.

In the secret realm, it was unknowingly dark and timeless.

Xiao Chen stood on the spot with slightly closed eyes, his aura diffused, seeming to still be in a state of chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, his soul sea gradually calmed down. The huge soul cocoon in his soul sea had shrunk down to less than ten feet size, and its dissolution speed was speeding up. It was visibly shrinking.

Finally, the huge soul cocoon turned into a dot and dissipated within the soul sea. The ancient spirit debris was completely devoured by Xiao Chen. As he had predicted, the massive soul force not only healed his damaged spirit but provided a significant boost as well.

Oomph!

Suddenly, the entire soul sea shook. A ray of light crossed the sky of the soul sea, as if the sun rose in the dark, illuminating Xiao Chen’s soul sea.

Whew!

The previously droopy eyes fluttered a few times before they finally opened. The dull eyes were once again radiant. Xiao Chen had finally awakened.

Taken over by a strand of a Half-King’s spirit debris, it sounded unreal but it was dangerous. Had he been slightly careless, his soul would have been obliterated, leaving only a puppet controlled by someone else. Xiao Chen would have cease to exist in this world.

Thinking about this, Xiao Chen was terrified. Although the Slaughter Spirit Spear, which had condensed from his insights of several years, completely melted away, it allowed him to regain his vitality. Fortunately, his insights remained intact and given some time, he could condense a new spirit spear.

Oomph! Oomph! Oomph!

His spiritual will spread out from his body and permeated his surroundings. At this moment, Xiao Chen estimated that his spiritual will had reached the full mastery of the sixth level of the Towering Realm.

This was just one of the benefits from devouring the spirit debris. The devouring and refining the spirit debris brought countless benefits to Xiao Chen. Even a strand of spirit debris of a Half-King stored immeasurable information, akin to a vast ocean.

These weren’t just Martial Arts insights but also secrets about the Great Wasteland, unknown to Xiao Chen. For example, the secret to become a king, locations of numerous dangerous lands and secret realms in the Wilderness.

All these were invaluable to Xiao Chen. Besides, the ancient Human Emperor’s Soldiers Technique, despite being only a strand of spirit debris, indeed existed. Xiao Chen got to know its real history through the information left by the spirit debris.

Surprisingly, it was related to a Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor of Mountains and Rivers!

According to the legend, Mountains and Rivers Soldiers Technique was derived and created by the Human Emperor of Mountains and Rivers in his later years, containing the Great Dao truths of the Great Wasteland. Besides the basic Five Elements Dao, there were also special Daos like wind, rain, lightning, and thunder.

Unfortunately, the Soldiers Technique gained by the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis was incomplete, only a part of it. However, even this part contained numerous mysteries of the Great Dao and derived secondary mysteries. For example, the Mountain Mystery derived from the Earth Dao, the Ice Mystery derived from the Water Dao.

This even included the Destruction Mystery derived from Thunder Dao that Xiao Chen is currently comprehending.
