Looking at the Soul Testing Stone that had already shattered into several pieces, a hint of a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.

Even he hadn't expected the Soul Testing Stone to be so fragile, breaking so easily.

"Your Divine Soul Talent has already exceeded the upper limit of what the Soul Testing Stone can test. Congratulations, you've passed the trial of the Soul Hall." Just then, that old voice spoke in Ye Chen's ear once again, sounding extremely kind.

"Phew, luckily, it's fine." Ye Chen couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief.

It seems that this Soul Testing Stone can at most test for an Excellent Level Divine Soul Master.

And for a Heaven-defying Level Divine Soul Master, the talent they exhibit can directly cause this Soul Testing Stone to explode.

Rumble.

At this moment, the stone platform under Ye Chen's feet suddenly started to shake violently, as if a massive earthquake had occurred.

Soon after, the mysterious array patterns engraved on the stone platform began to emit dazzling radiance, instantly weaving into a giant barrier that enveloped the entire stone platform.

"Master, the Soul Refining Array has started operating," the Tower Spirit said with joy.

"Doesn't this mean I can use the Soul Refining Array to quickly enhance my Divine Soul Realm?" Ye Chen's eyes were filled with intense excitement, his entire face flushed red, like he was on adrenaline.

"This Soul Refining Array was arranged by this old man. As long as one's Divine Soul Talent reaches the Excellent Level, they can activate this Soul Refining Array," said the old voice.

Woo woo woo!

Just then, a creepy sound suddenly echoed through the barrier, like the crying of a ghost.

Even Ye Chen found his scalp tingling at this moment.

"What's that?" Ye Chen's gaze fixed firmly on a silhouette emerging from within the barrier, his expression utterly shocked.

This silhouette had the body of a human but the head of a fox, with a pair of blood-red eyes staring coldly at Ye Chen, causing an uncontrollable chill.

"That's a Demon Soul. I didn't expect the Carefree Wanderer to use a Demon Soul from the Outer Realm Demon Race to create this Soul Refining Array," the Tower Spirit said with slight amazement.

The Outer Realm Demon Race is an extremely terrifying race.

Some among them have incredibly strong physical bodies, even stronger than humans who specially train in Body Refining Techniques.

Others have terrifying Divine Souls, comparable to Divine Soul Masters among humans from the moment they are born.

Because of this, Soul Refining Arrays created with Demon Souls are often highly effective.

If Ye Chen can seize this opportunity, he might really be able to elevate his Divine Soul to the Third Level of Divine Sense Realm.

Roar.

At that moment, the mouth of the Demon Soul suddenly let out an extremely shrill cry, and it lunged at Ye Chen with claws bared.

"Get away from me!" Ye Chen frowned slightly, quickly deploying the Storm Swordsmanship, launching a sharp cyan Sword Qi from his body, slicing fiercely at the Demon Soul.

Swish.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected for Ye Chen.

The Demon Soul's body was as if transparent; the Sword Qi Ye Chen shot couldn't touch it at all and passed right through.

"Master, it's useless. Demon Souls aren't corporeal. Ordinary attacks can't touch them. Only by using Divine Soul Power can you refine it," the Tower Spirit quickly reminded Ye Chen.

The Soul Refining Array, though it can rapidly enhance a Divine Soul Master's realm, carries huge risks.

If the soul sealed inside is more powerful than the Divine Soul Master training within, it could harm the Divine Soul Master's soul at any moment.

In severe cases, it might even cause the Divine Soul Master to be utterly destroyed.

Therefore, unless a Divine Soul Master is particularly powerful, they generally wouldn't rashly use a Soul Refining Array to cultivate.

"Divine Soul Power, activate for me," Ye Chen, upon hearing the Tower Spirit's words, unhesitatingly activated his Divine Soul Power.

Buzz.

The next moment, the Divine Soul Puppet sitting within Ye Chen's sea of consciousness began to emit a blinding divine light, and a vigorous Divine Soul Power surged from it, rushing towards the Demon Soul to suppress it.

With a loud thud, however, the soul power of the Demon Soul was simply too strong, scattering Ye Chen's Divine Soul Power in an instant.

"This is bad! This Demon Soul is so powerful; with my current Divine Soul Cultivation, I can't suppress it," Ye Chen's face changed dramatically, his expression growing extremely grave.

Although his Divine Soul Talent had reached a Heaven-defying Level,

he had been cultivating his Divine Soul for too short a time, his realm hadn't even reached the peak of the Exorcism Realm.

If he could break through to the peak of the Exorcism Realm, suppressing this Demon Soul shouldn't be a problem.

Swoosh.

At that moment, the Demon Soul suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen, opening a bloodthirsty maw filled with fangs, biting towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's pupils suddenly constricted, and even his body hair stood on end involuntarily.

He could feel that the Divine Soul Puppet deep in his sea of consciousness had been firmly locked onto by the Demon Soul.

If Ye Chen were indeed bitten by this Demon Soul, his Divine Soul Puppet would likely be devoured outright.

If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginably disastrous.

"Master, quickly use the 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map'." At this critical moment, the Tower Spirit hurriedly reminded Ye Chen.

The 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map', besides being used to cultivate Ye Chen's Divine Soul, also has an immense deterrent effect on demon souls.

Its uses are far more than Ye Chen imagined.

After all, it's a technique created by the Soul Emperor.

Buzz.

Under the threat of death, Ye Chen instinctively operated the 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map'.

The next moment, a colossal figure emerged in the depths of Ye Chen's mind.

His entire body was shrouded in Chaos Light Mist, his stature was more towering than the Ancient Divine Mountain, and he exuded an overwhelming aura, as if he were the ruler of heaven and earth.

Ah!

The demon soul suddenly let out an extremely mournful wail, fear was etched across its face, even its soul body was frozen in place, as if it was being overwhelmed by something.

"Now's the time." The Tower Spirit cried out urgently.

The soul emperor visualized from the 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map', although possessing a tremendous deterrent effect on the demon soul, could not harm the demon soul.

To refine the demon soul, Ye Chen still had to rely on himself.

"Suppress it for me." Ye Chen willed, and his body unleashed his Divine Soul Power to the fullest, enveloping the demon soul.

Woosh.

Immediately, the demon soul was dragged into the depths of Ye Chen's consciousness sea.

Roar.

At this moment, the demon soul finally snapped out of its terror, letting out an enraged roar, and instantly lunged towards Ye Chen's Divine Soul Puppet.

"Humph! How dare you act recklessly in my territory, get refined." Ye Chen sneered coldly, exuding a confident demeanor.

The consciousness sea is an incredibly mysterious area within the human body.

In the consciousness sea, the power of the Divine Soul Puppet can be exerted to the fullest, at least ten times stronger than in the outside world.

Unless the enemy's Divine Soul is far stronger than his own.

Otherwise, once inside Ye Chen's consciousness sea, they can only be suppressed by Ye Chen.

And the demon soul before him, although its soul power was much stronger than Ye Chen's, was far from being ten times greater.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for it to contend against Ye Chen.

Zizz.

The next moment, a surging wave of formidable Divine Soul Power gushed out from the Divine Soul Puppet within Ye Chen's body, surging towards the demon soul like a tide.

Roar!

Although the demon soul had tried its best to resist, it was still immobilized by Ye Chen's Divine Soul Power, unable to move an inch.

"Master, you can start refining the demon soul now, though this process might take quite some time." The Tower Spirit said.

"Alright!" Ye Chen nodded.

Buzz!

The next moment, Ye Chen began to use the 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map', slowly extracting the soul power from the demon soul and integrating it into his Divine Soul Puppet.

Almost every moment, Ye Chen's Divine Soul Puppet was continuously growing stronger.

Ye Chen could even distinctly feel his telekinesis rapidly increasing.

"My current telekinesis is only 150,000 jin. If I can cultivate to the peak of the Exorcism Realm, I should be able to have four or five hundred thousand jin of telekinesis." Ye Chen thought to himself.

A normal Divine Soul Master, even if they cultivate their Divine Soul to the peak of the Exorcism Realm, usually only has about 80,000 jin of telekinesis.

But Ye Chen, being a heaven-defying level Divine Soul Master, having telekinesis five or six times that of a normal cultivator is quite normal.

What Ye Chen truly looked forward to was when his cultivation reached the Third Level of the Divine Sense Realm, his telekinesis would undergo an earth-shattering change, potentially increasing a hundredfold.

By then, he would be able to easily crush powerhouses like Wang Long with just telekinesis.

Even Wang Yang and Xiahou Lei, who are ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, would not be able to withstand his telekinesis.

"Master, this demon soul is probably not enough to let your Divine Soul break through to the Third Level of Divine Sense Realm, it is unknown if there are other demon souls sealed in this Soul Refining Array." The Tower Spirit said.

Although the demon soul suppressed by Ye Chen had a rather strong soul power.

Without the aid of the 'Soul Emperor Visualization Map', it would indeed be difficult for Ye Chen to suppress it.

However, the soul power it contained was probably not enough to allow Ye Chen to break through to the Divine Sense Realm.

After all, breaking through to the Divine Sense Realm requires an enormous amount of soul power, and relying on a single demon soul is simply not enough.

Therefore, unless there are other demon souls sealed within this Soul Refining Array.

Otherwise, Ye Chen's Divine Soul might not be able to breakthrough to the Third Level of Divine Sense Realm.
