Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Asura Soul Reaping Technique



After stepping through the Soul Path, Xiao Yan once again arrived at the familiar Treasure Hall within the Hun Realm.

'So that's the function of the Soul Command Token. It can open the Soul Path at every branch hall.' Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. Possessing a Soul Command Token was just like being a direct descendant, whereas those who lacked one were more like outsiders; they could only exchange for resources available in their local branch. But a Soul Command Token granted access to all the resources held by the Hall of Souls' headquarters and even the entire Hun -Clan.

Without further ado, Xiao Yan placed the Soul Command Token on the control panel. "Exchange for soul points."

In the next second, Yao Ao's soul body was released from the Soul Command Token.

"This is the Hun Realm?! Let me go!! I'll do anything you want!!"

The moment Yao Ao's soul body appeared, a light barrier enveloped him before he could even attempt to escape. No matter how much he attacked or shouted, it was of no use.

Xiao Yan naturally had no intention of setting him free. You tried to harm me, and now you want me to release you? Do you really think I'm some reincarnated saint?

Rays of soul light swept over Yao Ao's soul body. After just a short while, a series of digits rose above the light cluster that trapped him. Xiao Yan's eyes went wide in astonishment at the

sight of those numbers, and even his breathing grew rapid.

'180,000 soul points?!?!?!'

Even Xiao Yan, who had seen many things, could scarcely maintain his composure before that nearly six-figure number.

If 10,000 soul points could hire three or four low-star Dou Emperors, then wouldn't 100,000 soul points be equivalent to three or four Dou Ancestors or a peak Dou Ancestor?!

And this was 180,000!

'If we calculate based on medicinal pills, 100,000 soul points would be roughly equivalent to a peak tier 7 pill. Then wouldn't 180,000 be enough to exchange for a relatively weak tier 8 pill?!!!

Now shrouded in a layer of soul light, Yao Ao himself was no longer visible from the outside. 'Is the soul body of a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist really worth this much? This is just a soul body, not a living alchemist.' He stared in astonishment at the milky-white light cluster.

'No, the soul body of an ordinary 7th-tier alchemist probably wouldn't fetch this price. Maybe it's because he's an alchemist from that so-called Yao Clan that increases his value.'

'Sigh, no wonder the books in my storage ring mentioned that the Hall of Souls captures alchemists and hunts for soul bodies everywhere. With such high 'bounties', it's hard for people not to be tempted.'

Xiao Yan was certain that such enormously high rewards made the Hall of Souls' offers far more tempting than anything the Alchemist Association, or even the Pill Tower, might provide. With generous pay, the Hall of Souls had no shortage of brave men willing to run dangerous errands for them.

The Alchemist Association, or rather, the Pill Tower, had a similar mechanism to the Hall of Souls. They exchanged medicinal ingredients for pills, and alchemists used pills to exchange for Pill Points from the Alchemist Association.

Back when Xiao Yan held the auction, the main ingredient of a tier 5 medicinal pill could be exchanged for a tier 4 medicinal pill. This exchange ratio was, in fact, the standard used by all Alchemist Associations when purchasing medicinal ingredients from outsiders.

That's how the Alchemist Association amassed so many precious medicinal ingredients.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful as he said, "Exchange." "No-!"

Yao Ao's anguished voice rang out just as the light cluster disappeared without a trace.

In the next instant, the number on Xiao Yan's Soul Command Token jumped from 4,100 to 184,100.

"You should be thanking me. If you stayed inside the Soul Command Token, your soul would eventually dissipate. But now that you've been captured by the Hun Clan, maybe you'll have a chance to escape. Or perhaps the Yao Clan might come to ransom you, right?"

Xiao Yan muttered this to himself while striding straight past the outer area of the hall and heading deeper in, where Di Class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques could be exchanged. Compared to the outer sections, the light clusters here were significantly fewer, yet they were still numerous enough to resemble a starry sky.

'It seems the items around here start at Di Class, tier 6 pills, and such...' Xiao Yan surveyed the sea of light clusters above him and smiled wryly.

The minimum contents of these light clusters were Di Class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques, with pills at least tier 6 and above. How could Xiao Yan not feel astonished?

With a casual gesture, a light cluster landed in his hand:

"Low Di Class water-attribute Qi Method-Raging Billows Technique. After cultivation, one's Dou Qi becomes unceasing like ocean waves. It can condense into a mighty sea-wave explosion that boosts a Dou Technique's destructive power. 11,000 soul points."

He returned that light cluster and took hold of another:

"Di Class defensive-type Dou Technique-Dou Qi Mirror Shield. Once cultivated to perfection, it can condense sunlight into a shield of light capable of reflecting attacks below the Dou Ancestor realm. Note: Usable only with light-attribute Dou Qi. Defensive power varies based on the concentration of light. 8,000 soul points."

'So it's worthless at night, huh? No wonder it's only 8,000.'

Xiao Yan examined several more light clusters, but none were to his satisfaction. Just like the Qi Methods and Dou Techniques in his storage ring, the vast majority required corresponding Dou Qi attributes. Weapons likewise didn't interest him at the moment.

Instead, a tier 7 pill recipe for the Heaven Desolation Spirit Pill caught his interest. This kind of peak tier 7 medicinal pill could enhance Spiritual Strength, but its effects only worked for those at the Mortal State of the Spiritual State.

"Hmm? What's this..."

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Yan noticed a peculiar light cluster. This light cluster faintly emitted threads of red light from within.

'A High Di Class Soul Skill?!'

"Asura Soul Reaping Technique. Created by an ancient Dou Saint of the Hun Clan during the Era of Myriad Emperors and perfected in the Dark Emperor Era. It is divided into three forms: Soul Chase, Abyss Submersion, and Asura. Through immersing one's soul in boundless killing intent, once cultivated to perfection and upon releasing the Asura killing intent, one's Spiritual Strength can slay souls at the Heavenly State. Using slaughter to halt slaughter, it is impossible to guard against. Any soul reaped by this technique will be utterly annihilated, never to reincarnate."

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed in shock. 'It can actually use Spiritual Strength to slay souls at the Heavenly State?!'

Heavenly State was considered the apex of the Spiritual State: Mortal State, Soul State, then Heavenly State. One typically needed Heavenly State Spiritual Strength to refine tier 9 pills.

And yet, cultivating this Dou Skill to perfection could actually enable one to reap Heavenly

State souls!!

Continuing down the description, Xiao Yan read, "Cultivation requirement: Spiritual State at Late Mortal State or higher. Note: This Soul Skill possesses immense power. Even though it has been perfected to this day, it's still not without risks. If one cannot control the killing intent during cultivation, the killing intent will shroud the soul and turn one into a prisoner of slaughter. Not recommended for those whose Clan Mark is below Grade 6."

"150,000 soul points?!!"

Even Xiao Yan was startled upon seeing that six-figure number at the end. This was almost comparable to some weaker Tian Class Dou Techniques!

'It actually requires 150,000 soul points... The High Di Class Soul Training Methods I sawNôv(el)B\\jnn

earlier were only a little over 100,000. The soul points needed for this Soul Skill actually exceed those of Soul Training Methods of the same grade?!' Xiao Yan stared at the light

cluster in his palm.

Generally speaking, Dou Techniques were cheaper than Qi Methods, and the same applied to Soul Skills being slightly cheaper than Soul Training Methods of the same grade.

But the Soul Skill in Xiao Yan's hand was the opposite. It was even more expensive! Xiao Yan wore an uncommonly solemn expression as he locked his gaze on the light cluster in

his hand.

'No, being able to reap Heavenly State souls... This likely reaches the level of a quasi-Tian Class Soul Skill. 180,000 is actually cheap... This thing is a bargain, and I just happen to have enough soul points...'

'If I'm not mistaken, this Soul Skill might have reached the Tian Class level if it weren't for

the excessive risk.'

'But I don't have that so-called Clan Mark.'

Even so, this one was the most fearsome of all the Soul Skills Xiao Yan had ever encountered.

The only Soul Skill he had was 'Soul Impact,' but he was well aware of how trashy it was.

'I'm currently at the Late Mortal state, so I meet the requirements to cultivate the Asura Soul

Reaping Technique.'

'Perhaps... I can use pills to maintain mental clarity while cultivating this Soul Skill.'

With a crisp crack, Xiao Yan clenched his fist, and with a 'pop,' the light cluster shattered!
