"According to Emperor Yan's prolonged observations, this Soul Shadow does not possess its own soul intelligence, at least not up until now. Such things cannot be concealed." With absolute certainty, Emperor Yan gave a nod and firmly informed Zhu Bufan.

"Are you saying that this Blood-colored Soul Shadow is merely a human-shaped conglomeration of powerful forces, and does not have the capacity for thought? But that's strange, if it cannot think, what's with all this Killing Intent?"

"Idiot, all these Killing Intents are what the master of this soul possessed while alive, what's referred to as 'deep in the depths of the soul'— that's exactly it. The master of this soul had already completely merged his Killing Intent with his own soul in life. The magnitude of his murderousness is unimaginable, such that just by the release of his Killing Intent, those who are even slightly weaker would be unable to withstand. Therefore, after his death, his Soul Fragments still carry such intense Killing Intent!" After giving Zhu Bufan a scornful look, Emperor Yan complained a bit, "To think that he's supposed to be Emperor Yan's brother. If Emperor Yan's brother were this stupid, how would Emperor Yan bear it?"

After Emperor Yan's explanation, Zhu Bufan truly became intrigued. Just then, the continuously thwarted Artifact Spirit finally flew into a rage, rearing its massive serpentine head and letting out a thunderous roar to the heavens.

"You vermin! Since you only know how to dodge, I shall leave you no place to hide! Roar!! Myriad Forms Avatar!!"

As the Artifact Spirit's roar subsided, the fresh blood around the space began to condense and transform. Amid Zhu Bufan's astonishment, one after another, ninerings with red bellies appeared. In the blink of an eye, ten blood-red four-winged giant serpents, each bearing the appearance of a ninerings with a red belly, encircled Zhu Bufan.

"Vermin! I am this world and this world is me. As long as I wish, I can manifest countless avatars at any time. No matter where you flee, as long as it is within my world, I can find and exterminate you! After I kill you, I'll capture that Pure Yin Meat Tripod outside, absorb her Yin Qi, and then use her as a Blood Slave!"

"I'm afraid you won't have that chance. Today, I will blast this space into pieces!" Hearing that the Artifact Spirit still harbored designs on Huo Ling, Zhu Bufan's Killing Intent surged even more rapidly. After sweeping a gaze filled with bloodlust over the ten blood-red ninerings with red bellies that surrounded him, Zhu Bufan revealed an extremely cold smile.

"Roar!! Vermin!! You dare to scorn me? I shall extract all of your Essence Blood and imprison your soul here, tormenting it for all eternity!" Zhu Bufan's words immediately sent the Artifact Spirit into a towering rage; the ten ninerings with red bellies simultaneously roared skyward, a truly earth-shattering display of fury.

"I'm afraid you don't have the capabilities!" With a sinister smirk, Zhu Bufan tightly grasped the Emperor Yan Breaker in his hand.

"Ignorant vermin, die!!" The ten ninerings with red bellies simultaneously spewed a massive amount of venom toward Zhu Bufan. The venom, coming from all directions like a blood-red net, left no room for Zhu Bufan to dodge and aimed to envelop him entirely.

'Splash'

Like a tidal wave crashing down, Zhu Bufan was instantly submerged by the blood-colored venom. But the ten ninerings with red bellies did not cease, continuing to spit venom towards Zhu Bufan as if it were water flowing from a tap, with plumes of blood-colored vapor rising into the air. Only after more than ten seconds did they stop spraying the venom.

"Humph! An overconfident vermin! Wasting so much of my time, it's time to lure that high-quality tripod outside. With just one mating, I can drain all the Yin Qi from the Meat Tripod to create a Blood Slave for me. Hmph! From now on, I will control myself alone, no one will be able to manipulate me!" Looking at the large mass of sticky venom, the Artifact Spirit let out a disdainful snort, turned around to leave, but had moved no more than a meter when the ten ninerings with red bellies suddenly froze in place.

"Your disgusting venom has melted my shirt, how do you plan to compensate me?" A cold voice that chills to the bone slowly rose. Then, a large slit was cut through the viscous pile of venom, and there emerged Zhu Bufan, clad only in a close-fitting water-mystic silver shirt, his upper attire dissolved, calmly stepping out of the mound of poison.

"How is this possible, your Cultivation simply cannot resist my Poison Blood... Wrong! The strength of your Soul Power has increased drastically compared to before, who exactly are you?"

"Who exactly am I? Your question is indeed perplexing. What, you can't recognize me anymore, just because my clothes are torn? It seems that the minds of beasts are simple. After transforming into beasts, your brains have become even simpler." With a sly smile, Zhu Bufan glanced at the ten ninerings with red bellies and said indifferently. At this moment, the Blood-colored Soul Shadow behind Zhu Bufan had disappeared, and his eyes had returned to their normal color. The Killing Intent that swirled around his body had also become more subdued and profound. If Zhu Bufan's Killing Intent was previously a surging river, then at this moment, Zhu Bufan's Killing Intent was like the prelude to a storm's sea—extraordinarily quiet.

"Impossible! How can your Soul Power grow so much in such a short time? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!" The Artifact Spirit, consumed with rage, continued to roar at Zhu Bufan.

"There's nothing impossible. However, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for your incessant babbling before you attacked, I might have really died here. But thanks to your loquaciousness, I had the chance."

It turns out that the moment Zhu Bufan was surrounded, he asked Emperor Yan how to borrow the power of the Blood-colored Soul Shadow, and the Artifact Spirit took this time to babble on. By the time the Artifact Spirit finished, Zhu Bufan had clearly understood how to borrow the Soul Power. And since the Blood-colored Soul Shadow lacked consciousness, borrowing the Soul Power was quite smooth. In the instant that the venom burned away his shirt, Zhu Bufan had already fully borrowed the power of the Blood-colored Soul Shadow.

"There's only ten minutes, or your body won't be able to take it. Who would have thought that just Soul Fragments alone could possess such formidable power? If his entire soul were to recondense, what kind of terrifying monster would it be?" Emperor Yan's childish voice resonated in Zhu Bufan's mind, and the tone of astonishment was unmistakable.

"Don't worry, not to mention ten minutes, three minutes is more than enough." With a slight smile, Zhu Bufan gave Emperor Yan a reassuring answer.

"Hmph! Even if your Soul Power has surged, you are still within my world!" With a thunderous shout, ten blood-red Nine Rings Rubies pounced towards Zhu Bufan simultaneously—the scene was akin to an eclipse of the sky.

"You're right, this place is truly disgusting. Chaos of Heaven and Earth."

A seemingly casual punch was thrown upwards, but the resulting force was incredibly shocking. The punch imbued with the power of Chaos of Heaven and Earth landed on one of the Nine Rings Rubies, and in an instant, numerous cracks appeared on its body.

Then, as if the cracks were contagious, they rapidly enveloped all ten of the Nine Rings Rubies. With a 'snap', under the horrified gaze of the Artifact Spirit, all ten of the blood-red Nine Rings Rubies were obliterated into nothingness. They weren't shattered or dispersed, but rather their very existence was erased.

"How could this be? What did you just do? How could this happen? You...you didn't shatter the space, but why did the Nine Rings Rubies completely vanish? Why??" The outraged voice echoed throughout the blood-colored world, with the Artifact Spirit evidently feeling deep apprehension towards Zhu Bufan's recent move.

"If I tell you, I also don't know what happened and that it's an innate ability, you probably wouldn't believe it, right? Forget it. Why waste words with you?" Shaking his head, Zhu Bufan appeared unconcerned with the Artifact Spirit's shock.

"Roar! Even if you have such a mystical technique, so what? I've said before, this world is me! You can easily destroy ten of my Avatars—do you have the capability to eliminate a thousand, ten thousand?" Amidst the furious roar, countless blood began to churn and condense, as one after another Nine Rings Rubies emerged. Seeing this banquet of myriad snakes, Zhu Bufan's brows instantly furrowed deeply.

"Forget it, talking to you is pointless. I actually wanted to enjoy the feeling of possessing supreme power, but since you insist on seeking death sooner, you can't blame me!" After speaking, Zhu Bufan's eyes turned as dazzling as rubies in an instant, and a gigantic blood-colored Soul Shadow burst forth from his body, standing at the very center of the Soul Shadow.

"Chenjiang Duanliu Break—Breaking Flow Formation!!!"

As Zhu Bufan raised the "Emperor Yan's Pojun" high in his hands, the blood-colored Soul Shadow also manifested a huge sword and lifted it high, mirroring Zhu Bufan's every move and expression.

A sword slashed down, and the sword light shone as brilliantly as a resplendent galaxy, mighty like the surging river, stunning and grand. The silver-colored sword light was silent and colorless, but the terrifying power it contained could shake the soul. Wherever the sword light passed, dark cracks appeared in space, and even space itself was rent asunder by Zhu Bufan's breathtakingly brilliant slash.

'Boom!!!'

The silvery-white sword light struck the blood-colored mire on the ground, instantly splitting it apart, with dark crevices spreading wildly forward and backward. The blood-red sky and the earth began to collapse gradually.

"Impossible!!! You insignificant wretch, how could you possibly shatter my world?! Impossible! Ah!!!" As the Artifact Spirit spoke the last sentence, the surrounding heavens and earth began to crumble, the cracks spread swiftly everywhere like a spider's web. Meanwhile, Emperor Yan urgently said: "Quick! Plant the Emperor Yan's Pojun into the ground that has not yet collapsed, I must absorb this malevolent force!"

After hearing Emperor Yan's words, Zhu Bufan did not dare to hesitate for even a split second and promptly threw Emperor Yan's Pojun out. It plunged into the blood-colored mire like a meteor, and immediately after Zhu Bufan had thrown out Emperor Yan's Pojun, a powerful force expelled Zhu Bufan from this blood-colored world.
