The dominion over the Dragon Vein lies in the strength of one's will.

From a certain perspective, if Qing Yu, who has cultivated the Emperor Martial Art, were to forsake life and merge his will with the Human Dao Will, he could become the tenth after the Nine Human Sovereigns.

So······

"This is the territory of Northern Zhou, and here, your control over the Dragon Vein is not as great as mine."

In terms of resilience of will, Qing Yu indeed does not falter, as evidenced by his ability to forcibly unlock the Sea of Consciousness with his will.

After all, he is not Feng Jiu; as the Strongest, Qing Yu's will surpasses Feng Jiu by far.

Moreover, in Northern Zhou, Qing Yu's control over the Dragon Vein is greater than the Ninth Human Sovereign, although he cannot directly mobilize the Dragon Vein Power to crush, he can counterbalance the authority of both sides and still showcase his strength.

"Let me see, without the Dragon Vein Power, how much of the Ninth Human Sovereign's flair remains in battling the Xinglie Clan." Qing Yu gazed at the Ninth Human Sovereign, saying.

In the past, the Ninth Human Sovereign relied on nearly perfected Human Dao Will and the Dragon Vein to defeat the Xinglie Clan; in terms of strength alone, he was inferior to Xinglie Clan.

Now Qing Yu wants to see just how potent this so-called Ninth Human Sovereign's consciousness really is.

"Blood Vault."

With Divine Intent, he evolves the Blood Vault, not involving the transformation of blood energy, purely using Divine Intent to defeat the enemy. In this Sea of Consciousness, Qing Yu's capability is not weaker than in the outside world.

Even, because this place is akin to his own Sea of Consciousness, he does not even need to have the Saint and Demon Embryo transmit power, and can exert his full strength.

A wide blood intent as vast as the Heavenly Vault toppled forth, its breadth of Divine Intent astonished even the Ninth Human Sovereign.

"People of later generations are not lacking in those who surpass their predecessors. Unfortunately······"

In the Ninth Human Sovereign's hand, a Golden Blue Divine Sword engraved with illegible holy scriptures formed, the sword was drawn, and heavens' light illuminated the world, "What a pity, walked the crooked path. Sparkling brilliance."

Limitless brilliance, shining upon the Heavenly Vault.

Blood covered the Firmament, pressing down on the universe.

In this Sea of Consciousness, the two's moves seem like Martial Arts, yet are actually transformations of consciousness, involving trials and clashes, and are indeed contests of will.

Thus, there is no dodging, no techniques; aside from the dazzling formal display, it is essentially a direct contest in brute endurance.

Blood light, heavenly light, two contending brilliance refusing to yield, behind their radiant clash, are the solemn faces of the two.

Neither Qing Yu nor the Ninth Human Sovereign would retreat; the end of this contest only emerges once victory or defeat is unveiled.

"Yin——"

Within the subtle lingering Dragon Roar, the Dragon Vein Power shields the Sea of Consciousness, preventing the contest between the two from causing its collapse.

This also proved that Qing Yu still had residual power.

"Ultimately, you are not the Ninth Human Sovereign himself; your will would still falter against me, a mere junior." Qing Yu maintained his willful combat, saying in a consistent manner.

In reality, even if a true Human Sovereign descended, devoid of the boost from Human Dao Will and the Dragon Vein, his strength would at most be on par with Qing Yu, perhaps even inferior.

Qing Yu and individuals like Sword God have already emerged as the pinnacle of those beneath Tao Realm, even the Ancient Human Sovereign is at this level.

When all is said and done, the Human Sovereign is not the Tao Realm.

"I have said, I am not the Ninth Human Sovereign."

The Ninth Human Sovereign bluntly admitted his inferiority, yet his words were not complete.

"But, thinking you could surpass the Human Dao, is still too fanciful."

The Human Path River surged again, a mighty figure stepped forth from the river, standing alongside the Ninth Human Sovereign.

"Testing a hundred herbs, saving the good people of the world; raising troops and flames, striking against heaven's disloyal subjects."

The consciousness of the Eighth Human Sovereign Lie Mountain reshaped within the Human Path River, reappearing in the world.

"The strongest state of the Human Dao is not a single Human Sovereign, but the convergence of us nine."

The Eighth Human Sovereign wielded the Sun God-Slashing Blade, with a slash that bore the intensity of a scorching sun, "Burning Fire Extinction."

The emergence of the Eighth Human Sovereign intensifies Qing Yu's pressure mightily. But Qing Yu too is no novice, beside his original Primordial Spirit, a new identical figure appeared.

"Divine Kill Shock."

The newly emerged Qing Yu used the Soldier Armor Martial Scripture to withstand the scorching sun, the dual figures surprisingly able to press the two Human Sovereigns.

"Is the new Primordial Spirit a Divided Soul?"

"No, it's not a Divided Soul, but an equivalent dual soul. Unexpected that such a strange constitution would appear in Qing Yu. What a pity······"

The two Human Sovereigns inquired of each other, both feeling regret at such a peculiar constitution turning to the wrong path.

Among families, there are precedent cases of dual souls within one body, thus the two Human Sovereigns, while somewhat surprised, were not excessively astonished.

Ultimately, this constitution is not unique. Yet unfortunately, this peculiar constitution pushes forward great tribulations, damaging all life. If he could abandon evil and embrace good, it would surely be a blessing to all beings.

"Shattering the heavens and earth, shaking mountains and rivers, bearing the burden of all beings to battle the cosmos."

The waves rose again, an overwhelming and domineering force swept over, the Seventh Generation Human Emperor, Ba Xuan, has arrived.

"Ba Yu Divine Essence."

Another Human Emperor joined in attacking Qing Yu, doubling the pressure on Qing Yu.

But it wasn't over yet.

"Oh souls, oh spirits, rise again and cover the world with your heroism."

The Sixth Generation Human Emperor Po Yun, the founder of Soul trickery, stepped out from the Human Dao river using Ghost Cloud Soul Flow, "Soul Analysis Dark Technique."

After the four Human Emperors, it seemed that the Human Dao river had reached some kind of pinnacle, unable to bring forth any more Human Emperor wills, which allowed Qing Yu to slightly relax.

He hadn't expected that the Human Dao Will would have such great capability, no wonder it was highly regarded by the nine Human Emperors, considered the hope to protect the Human Race for eternity.

Just the consciousness of these four Human Emperors was enough to make Qing Yu feel intense pressure, and following the second soul, the third soul appeared as well.

Three souls against four emperors, the imbalance in numbers still possessed comparable strength. Although the four Human Emperors were only consciousness and their combat power was decreased, together they exerted enormous pressure on Qing Yu's three souls.

"I didn't expect you to have such deep control over Northern Zhou when clearly Emperor Zhou is supposed to be the emperor of Northern Zhou." The Ninth Generation Human Emperor shook his head regrettably.

Given the current power of the Human Dao Will, it could actually reshape another Human Emperor's consciousness, but because of Qing Yu's control over the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein, the Human Dao Will was unable to exert its strength, leaving the fifth Human Emperor blocked out.

"Is this where it ends? If it's just this, it's hard to overcome me."

Qing Yu, alone with three souls, resisted the transformations of the four Human Emperors' move intentions, barely speaking.

"The Three Souls Body is truly unprecedented." The Sixth Generation Human Emperor Po Yun clicked his tongue in amazement at this identical soul body.

As the founder of Soul trickery, Po Yun had seen countless soul bodies, even researching a secret technique similar to Double Soul Body. But three souls were unheard of, never seen before.

"Such a junior, falling into the evil path, is truly a pity," the Sixth Generation Human Emperor silently urged his Divine Intent, continuously influencing Qing Yu, "After defeating him, I will personally oversee his reform back to righteousness."

"It truly seems to end here."

Seeing that the human river had no more energy to keep forth, Qing Yu's three souls began to merge, "This is fine too, it spares me from using subsequent moves, avoiding a catastrophe."

Qing Yu always had a backup plan, one plan failing and giving rise to another, and for today, he had prepared for quite some time.

The supposed backup plan was to destroy the Earth Veins, directly collapsing the Dragon Vein.

Since the Human Dao Will was integrated into the Dragon Vein, it would naturally be affected by the Dragon Vein. If the Dragon Vein were destroyed, the Human Dao Will would not fare well.

However, small-scale Dragon Vein collapse wouldn't affect the Human Dao Will, only a large-scale collapse would secure Qing Yu's victory.

But that would result in a huge natural disaster, and if not absolutely necessary, Qing Yu didn't wish to invoke Tribulation Qi.

"Not good, his three souls are merging." The Sixth Generation Human Emperor discovered Qing Yu's anomaly and immediately shouted.

"Too late······"

A soft sigh, the reappeared soul body with white hair and black robe spread out six wings that covered the sky behind, "Saying I've fallen into the evil path, you're not worthy!"

In an instant, the Saint and Demonic Light swept through, obliterating the Human Emperor consciousness and the Human Dao river, all vanishing under this brilliance. Its momentum, far beyond when the three souls were split apart previously.

After eliminating the threat, Qing Yu's soul body blurred and reappeared as the three souls form.

"That was close, that was close, fortunately, the fusion wasn't deep, otherwise, these three souls wouldn't revert." Qing Yu patted his chest and said.

Three souls united are certainly powerful, but in terms of convenience, they are nowhere near as good as the current separate three souls. The present Qing Yu certainly didn't want to lose the ability to don various disguises everywhere.

Scanned the Sea of Consciousness, not finding substantial destruction, Qing Yu said, "Feng Jiu's body and Primordial Spirit were ultimately saved. However, in the future, his identity will be taken over by me."

With the two forms and three souls, the third soul often wandered around, sometimes possessing the Sword Maiden, and sometimes conversing with Feng Jiu. Now, the third soul was settled.

Just Feng Jiu······

"Forget it, it was his choice."

For someone who has accompanied him all this way, Qing Yu still felt quite sentimental. Otherwise, directly destroying the Sea of Consciousness for a substitute would be the most secure solution.

Of course, doing so would definitely kill Feng Jiu and also prevent gathering intelligence regarding the Human Dao Will.

Before this, Qing Yu couldn't have imagined that the Human Dao Will could reshape the consciousness of Human Emperors. Although these consciousnesses were counterfeit, in wisdom they were not inferior to those former Earth Emperors.

Moreover, as previously revealed by the Eighth Generation Human Emperor, the ultimate form of the Human Dao Will is the combined force of the nine Human Emperors. With the appearance of four Human Emperors, Qing Yu already felt considerable pressure; if all nine were to appear, then the situation······

Tsk tsk, it's really hard to bear.

"Forget it, let's focus on the present. Northern Zhou cannot fall into chaos now."

Feng Jiu let out a miserable wail and fell to the ground, unconscious, which was no trivial matter. This incident had already caused an uproar in Northern Zhou.

This Emperor Zhou has been on the throne for several years and never took a concubine, having only the Empress as wife. For offspring, there was only one princess.

This sudden calamity of Emperor Zhou shook the court and society. Some treacherous ones even started preparing for Feng Jiu's demise.

Qing Yu now had to stabilize the situation under the guise of Feng Jiu.

After all, in the future, he will become Emperor Feng Jiwu of Northern Zhou.
