Xia Hun Wu stared at the Heaven's Soul Branch in his hand. At such a close distance, he could feel the rich soul power contained within the Heaven's Soul Branch. A refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out from the crystal clear branch.

"Kid, are you really planning on breaking through to the Soul Origin Stage here?"

"Once you step into the Soul Origin Stage, the blood of the Soul Beast in your body will be completely stimulated. At that time, the commotion that will be caused will be detrimental to you!" Just as Xia Hun Wu smelled the alluring medicinal fragrance and his soul power fluctuated, Old Mu's voice rang out from within his aura sea.

"Elder Mu, what can you do?" Xia Hun Wu asked.

"No, there's no other way. You can only rely on your own speed of fusion. Also, I have to remind you that if you want to break through, you should do so as soon as possible. I have already sensed that someone is dashing towards our valley."

"However, you don't have to worry too much. I just set up a Spiritual Array in this valley. I think it can delay it for a while." Elder Mu's voice was a bit solemn.

"I'll make use of this opportunity to break through!" This thought flashed across Xia Hun Wu's mind as he decisively sat down within the depths of the valley. He took in a deep breath of cold air and gradually calmed his heart down.

As his heart gradually calmed down, Xia Hun Wu's palms released a surge of soul power that tightly wrapped around the Heavenly Soul branch.

"Bam!"

Under the pressure of the soul power, the Heaven's Soul Branch directly turned into dust, while the leaves on the Heaven's Soul Branch also began to shatter bit by bit.

Streams of golden coloured liquid carried with it waves of dense soul power as they flowed out. The air within the valley was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

The soul power in Xia Hun Wu's palm became increasingly cold, before finally compressing the Heavenly Soul Branch into a small golden ball. The soul power that filled the small ball even caused Xia Hun Wu's palm to tremble slightly.

"Hu!"

He carefully placed the small ball into his mouth and a suction force appeared. The golden ball turned into a line of water as it was sucked into Xia Hun Wu's mouth.

Boom!

As the rich soul power contained within this golden liquid was sucked into Xia Hun Wu's mouth, his skin instantly turned golden, as if a layer of golden liquid had been poured onto the surface of his body.

"Rumble!"

Astonishing soul power was like a flood as it wreaked havoc within Xia Hun Wu's body. He hurriedly retracted his mind and streams of soul power gushed out from his body as he swiftly refined the golden liquid that entered his body.

However, the Heavenly Soul Branch had a powerful effect on the Soul Duelling Realm. Now that it had been completely absorbed into Xia Hun Wu's body, it actually showed signs of losing control.

While Xia Hun Wu was busy defending against the soul power formed by the golden ball of light, a suction force suddenly emerged from his aura sea and immediately absorbed the pure soul power.

Xia Hun Wu was also stunned by this sudden development. With a thought, he saw the scene in his aura sea. He saw the soul power being infused into the body of an icy blue snake-like beast.

Xia Hun Wu took a closer look and his face paled instantly. Wasn't this icy-blue snake-shaped beast the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon?

"Brat, don't be so flustered. I'm just borrowing a bit of your soul power to help it stabilize its cultivation. Moreover, your soul power is too enormous. It won't be bad for you if I help you take some." Just as Xia Hengwu's face turned pale, Elder Mu's voice came from the Qi Sea.

"Elder Mu, are you still planning on keeping it in my body?" Xia Hun Wu could not help but to smile bitterly.

"I naturally have my uses. Hurry up and break through, there are so many things." Elder Mu's voice carried a trace of impatience as he said lightly.

Xia Hun Wu smiled embarrassedly. It was true that Old Mu had his reasons for doing what he did, but he immediately ignored the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon in his aura sea as he focused all of his attention on refining the huge amount of soul power in his body and prepared to charge into the Soul Origin Stage.

At this time, within the valley, Yun Qinghang and the others were gathering Spiritual Herbs. Although these things were not as rare as the Soul Essence Sky Branch, they were still beneficial for a Soul Transformation and Spirit Stage powerhouse.

"This medicinal fragrance, what a thick soul power!"

Zhao Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the valley behind them. An extremely thick medicinal fragrance drifted over, along with a dense amount of soul power.

Upon hearing these words, Yun Qinghong was slightly taken aback. Promptly, she knew that Xia Hun Wu was refining a Heaven's Soul Branch. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "Our men are hiding in the mountains above us, right?"

"Yes, Brother Xia made the arrangements when Sister Yun and the other three Earth Rank soul beasts left to lure them." Zhao Xin laughed.

Weng! *

Just as Zhao Xin finished his sentence, a buzzing sound came from outside the valley. This was a unique method to deliver messages from the Dragon Gate. When Yun Qinghang and the rest heard this, their expressions changed and their figures flashed as they reached a mountain peak. Their beautiful eyes looked into the distance.

"Swoosh!"

A figure rushed over from the other side of the mountain peak. With a panicked expression, he said, "Sister Yun, something bad has happened. We've discovered that there are two groups of people rushing towards us!"

Yun Qinghong's beautiful face changed slightly, and she asked: "Is it Xuan Bing bringing the Xuan Gang's men over?"

"No, I did not see Xuan Bing or Lu Quan's figures." That person said in a deep voice.

Yun Qinghong's beautiful eyes became a little serious and she said: "Looks like this Lu Quan really did not have any good intentions. He is not the only one who knows about the Heavenly Soul Branch!"

"So what do we do now? Sister Yun! " Panic appeared on Zhao Xin's face. The two incoming waves of troops were definitely not inferior to the Xuan Gang. Otherwise, Lu Quan wouldn't have been so afraid to make a move. Now that these two forces were rushing towards them, it would be impossible to stop them with just the few of them.

Yun Qinghong looked into the depths of the valley, and lightly bit her lips and said: "Let's stop them first, Brother Xia is currently breaking through, we cannot be disturbed."

Hearing this, Zhao Xin and the others looked at each other in dismay. With their strength, could they stop them? However, since even Yun Che had spoken, then he could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

"Swoosh!"

As her voice faded, Yun Qinghong was the first to leap onto the highest point outside of the valley. A solemn expression surged onto her pretty face as her beautiful eyes looked over. After which, she saw two groups of men, each with a dozen figures, rapidly rushing towards them.

"Haha, little beauty, I was just about to go look for you. I didn't expect you to come running over here by yourself." From the group of men on the left, a figure soared into the sky as dense soul power spread out in mid-air. A frivolous laughter resounded out in the surroundings.
