BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage! Chapter 168: Soul Breakthrough to Perfect Heavenly State!



Gu Realm.

Deep within the Gu Sacred Mountain Range.

Gu Yuan, the leader of the Gu Clan, and Gu Lie, the Black Subrged King, appeared simultaneously in an ancient hall.

"Heh, it seems that the recent uproar in Central Plains is most likely related to that brat Gu Fei!"

"For a re Hall of Souls, there was no need for Gu Fei to act so covertly!"

"Do the mbers of the Hun Clan actually dare to co to the Gu Realm to challenge our Gu Clan because of this?"

The two in the hall clearly knew that Gu Fei and Zi Yan had left the Ancient Realm and had deduced that it was Gu Fei who destroyed the Soul Hall's branch.

However, they treated this matter as nothing more than a joke and didn't take it seriously at all.

Ever since the decline of the ancient Xiao Clan, the Gu Clan has been regarded as the strongest of the ancient clans, leading to their prideful attitude over the years. They held a disdainful view of many things, unaware that this very arrogance was causing the gap between their strength and that of the Hun Clan to widen, allowing the Hun Clan's top enforcer, Hun Miesheng, to create imasurable value.

...

While the Central Plains continued to buzz with discussions about the annihilation of the Soul Hall's branch, the instigators, Gu Fei and Zi Yan, had already arrived in the Beast Region and entered the Void Space.

The Void Space was a place even Dou Venerate-level experts dared not venture into lightly. It was pitch-black, silent, and occasionally ravaged by terrifying space storms. If caught in one, even a Dou Venerate would struggle to survive, which is why few dared to enter.

At this mont, Gu Fei was seated cross-legged in a particular location within the Void Space. Before him floated a light orb about half a ter in size, emanating a gentle and pure radiance that continuously expanded.

Gu Fei focused on the soul light orb, exhaled softly, and then reached out to touch it. Upon contact, he could clearly feel the vast soul essence contained within the light orb, warming his soul at the center of his forehead.

"Puff!"

The next mont, Gu Fei opened his mouth, and the fused Heavenly Flas surged out. The flas floated below the soul light orb, quickly igniting into a blazing fire that enveloped the entire orb.

Though the soul essence was extrely pure, it had been obtained from the Soul Hall, so it was wise to be cautious. As the intense heat perated the orb, it began to boil slightly, and faint traces of black gas erged, gradually dissipating into nothingness.

Seeing the black gas, Gu Fei's brows furrowed slightly. He sensed a faint consciousness within it, undoubtedly a trap laid by the experts of the Soul Hall. If absorbed, it would have posed a significant risk.

"The Soul Hall mbers are indeed sinister and ruthless..."

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Fei increased the intensity of the flas, completely refining the black gas hidden within the soul light orb.

As the black gas dissipated, the soul light orb beca increasingly transparent and crystalline, appearing almost illusory. The refining process continued for half an hour before Gu Fei finally extinguished the flas and breathed a sigh of relief as he gazed at the now crystal-clear soul light orb floating before him.

"Zi Yan, I may need to enter seclusion for a few months. Do you want to return first?"

Gu Fei asked, looking at Zi Yan.

"No, I'll stay here and guard you!"

Without hesitation, Zi Yan shook her head.

Satisfied with her response, Gu Fei smiled and nodded. He then made a hand seal, and his soul force surged from the center of his forehead. The soul force materialized into a humanoid form resembling Gu Fei, sitting cross-legged before the soul light orb with its mouth slightly open.

A powerful suction force erged, causing the soul light orb to tremble slightly as an incredibly pure stream of soul essence began to wrap around Gu Fei's soul form, continuously rging into it.

As more and more soul essence was absorbed, a layer of crystal-like substance began to form on the surface of Gu Fei's soul form.

"Splash, splash!"

The soul light orb gently rippled, emitting a clear sound reminiscent of splashing water. Waves of pure soul essence continuously flowed into Gu Fei's soul form, and with each infusion, a faint layer of strange crystalline material ford on its surface, giving the figure a solid, almost tangible appearance.

The soul light orb contained an imnse amount of soul essence, condensed from millions of souls extracted by the Soul Hall. Even soone as powerful as Gu Fei felt a slight sense of insignificance before such a vast source of soul essence.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

As Gu Fei absorbed more soul essence, invisible waves of energy radiated from him, spreading far and wide. If not for the fact that he was in the Void Space, these waves would have attracted countless people's attention.

"What terrifying soul power!"

Zi Yan, who had been watching Gu Fei closely, felt the full force of the energy due to her proximity. Although her soul strength was weaker, her cultivation far exceeded Gu Fei's, allowing her to withstand it.

In Zi Yan's view, Gu Fei's body was now encased in a strange crystal-like layer, forming a human figure. Ti passed rapidly as the process continued.

"Whew..."

The crystal figure remained motionless like a statue, and after an unknown amount of ti, its tightly closed mouth suddenly opened. The soul light orb shot out, transforming into a stream of light that was swallowed by the crystal "Gu Fei."

"Boom!"

The mont the soul light orb entered the "crystal Gu Fei," his body trembled violently, and a dazzling light burst forth from within, accompanied by an overwhelming wave of energy that swept out like a storm.

"After more than four months, Brother Gu Fei has finally absorbed all of it!"

"This soul power is strong enough to directly contend with a two-star Dou Saint!" Zi Yan, who had been guarding Gu Fei, was amazed by the overwhelming power. Although the body of an Ancient Void Dragon is incredibly tough, it is also weak in terms of soul power. So, Zi Yan couldn't help but feel awe at the sight of such potent soul energy.

"This is the soul at the peak of the Heaven Perfection Realm..."

Gu Fei opened his eyes at that mont.

He could clearly sense the difference in himself compared to before. Even in the pitch-black Void Space, he could perceive everything within a thousand-mile radius.
