Invincible Soul Emperor

He gently patted Xiao Xiao’s shoulder, "Alright, Xiao Xiao, I hope you won’t regret it."

Xiao Xiao nodded, silently praying in her heart that Xue Wei would indeed fulfill his promise to help Ye Qingchen through this ordeal.

However, she was unaware that Xue Wei at this moment was hiding an unknown sneer and conspiracy.

On the other side.

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, hands resting on his knees, palms facing up.

An energy core emitting a scorching radiance floated in front of him, slowly rotating. As he took deep breaths, the immense spiritual energy within the energy core was absorbed into his body like flowing water, surging into his Dantian.

Initially, everything was smooth, and the spiritual energy circulated through the meridians, bringing an unparalleled feeling of comfort.

However, when halfway absorbed, Ye Qingchen suddenly felt a violent energy rampaging within. The power from the energy core seemed beyond his control; the once smoothly flowing spiritual energy turned turbulent and restless, like a wild horse breaking free, continuously impacting his meridians and Dantian.

"What’s happening?" Ye Qingchen was shocked as he quickly circulated his mental method, trying to stabilize the rampaging energy. Yet, instead of calming down, the energy grew more violent, as if an external force was pushing them to assault his vital organs.

Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth, his face pale as paper, large beads of sweat seeping from his forehead. He formed complex seal formulas with his hands, hoping to use powerful spiritual power to suppress the rampaging energy within.

However, this energy seemed to have a mind of its own, beginning to flow back, breaking through one meridian barrier after another, heading straight for his Sea of Consciousness.

"Damn it, this energy core actually has intelligence!" Ye Qingchen immediately realized the gravity of the situation in his heart. If this energy rushed into the Sea of Consciousness, he would not only end up practicing demonic cultivation, but his Divine Soul could be annihilated!

At this critical moment of life and death, Ye Qingchen no longer hesitated. His True Qi surged out in a torrent, forming a solid barrier attempting to fend off the invading energy. At the same

time, he silently recited the Secret Technique within his heart, trying to imprison the rampaging energy again, using his Dantian as a cage.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s pale face and sweat-covered forehead, Xue Zhao immediately realized the situation was bad. She hurried over to Ye Qingchen, without hesitation pressing her hand against his back, channeling her True Qi into him.

"Senior Brother Ye, what’s wrong?" Xue Zhao’s voice carried worry and tension, fully aware that if Ye Qingchen’s condition couldn’t be stabilized in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Qingchen felt Xue Zhao’s True Qi seep into him, immediately sensing warmth and strength.

With closed eyes, a faintly bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Xue Zhao, this energy core is weird. I’m losing control..." Ye Qingchen’s voice carried a hint of fatigue, but his internal actions remained uninterrupted.

Xue Zhao furrowed her brows, knowing full well that she needed to focus 100 percent in this situation.

She mobilized her cultivation, slowly channeling True Qi into Ye Qingchen’s meridians, together suppressing the violent energy.

Her brow furrowed tight, True Qi continually circulating within her body, striving to maintain stability within Ye Qingchen’s body.

Time slipped away in this tense atmosphere, each minute feeling like a long era.

Xue Zhao relentlessly channeled her energy, unknowingly breaking into a sweat on her forehead.

As time passed.

Ye Qingchen gradually stabilized the violent energy within his body, completely absorbing it.

With the energy fusion, he could feel the power coursing through his body, akin to a boundless river, rapidly elevating the originally calm cultivation.

Every cell of his body seemed to absorb and integrate this new energy, his Dantian gradually filling with the surging power, as if water threatening to overflow.

"It’s about to break through!"

Ye Qingchen felt great joy in his heart.

Who would have thought this would come with such a delightful surprise, an extraordinary opportunity for cultivation.

If he broke through, he would step into the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm!

He closed his eyes, quietly feeling the changes within, adjusting his breathing and state of mind. He knew, with the breakthrough imminent, he needed to greet this vital moment in the best condition.

After a period, when he sensed the energy within had reached a limit, he suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp brilliance flickering within. He took a deep breath, his body slightly trembling, a powerful aura emanating from him.

The breakthrough was imminent!

At the decisive moment, Ye Qingchen felt the energy within burning fiercely, as if the entire world was under his control.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement and the intense energy flow.

He closed his eyes, intently feeling the circulation of True Qi within.

The powerful force integrated from the energy core, akin to a raging torrent, continuously washed over his meridians and Dantian.

With focused guidance and control, the energy within gradually settled, seemingly condensing and elevating in step with his breathing rhythm.

Suddenly, a strong energy fluctuation burst from the center of his Dantian, burning like flame, his aura sharply rising to a new height.

Ye Qingchen’s body trembled slightly, his skin emitting a faint glow, and the nearby air seemed to grow heavy from his aura. His eyes shone with firm light, as if peering through the void to glimpse a higher Realm.

"This is the feeling!"

Ye Qingchen’s heart overflowed with delight.

In that instant, the universe seemed to tremble, the surrounding air vibrating along. Ye Qingchen’s cultivation broke through its original shackles, reaching a brand-new height. His presence was mighty like a towering mountain, radiating an aura of solemn dignity.

He has already broken through to the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm!

"That’s great, finally a breakthrough."

Xue Zhao watched Ye Qingchen’s transformation, her face full of admiration.

Her effort channeling energy to assist Ye Qingchen was well worth it.

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, quickly thanking Xue Zhao beside him: "Xue Zhao, thank you just now, if not for your energy transport at the crucial moment, I might not have broken through so easily."

Xue Zhao slowly rose, her clothes outlining alluring curves.

"Ye Qingchen, I helped you so much, do you have a plan on how to thank me?"

Xue Zhao gave Ye Qingchen a charming glance.

Ye Qingchen also stood: "Apart from marrying into your family, I’m ready to serve you in any other way!" Ye Qingchen winked at Xue Zhao.

Xue Zhao covered her mouth with a laugh: "Ye Qingchen, don’t think you get all the benefits, you need to help me solve the issue with Xue Wei."

"I guarantee the task will be completed!"
