Above the deep, murky sea of souls, a young man stood proudly. He wore a pitch-black robe, embroidered with patterns of silver thread. Like a living, breathing creature, he swam freely, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura, as if silently telling an ancient, hidden story. His eyes, deep as the abyss, seemed to penetrate the very essence of the soul. A faint, holy soul light lingered around him, like the supreme ruler of the soul world descending, commanding all to submit to his might.
Under the pressure of his overwhelming aura, the entire deep Soul Sea trembled violently, like a lake ravaged by a violent storm, stirring up layers of turbulent waves. Yu Kai was horrified. Although he had previously known that the emergence of the Soul Sea significantly extended one's lifespan and allowed the soul to temporarily leave the body, he knew almost nothing about the other mysteries contained within it.
"How did you practice? How come your control over the soul is so weak? I am Hun Yujing, and I specialize in the laws of the soul!" Hun Yujing stood with his hands behind his back above the surging sea of souls, a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.
Yu Kai controlled his soul and slowly emerged from the Soul Sea. He bowed respectfully to Hun Yujing and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your mercy! I've never practiced soul cultivation before, and this Soul Sea was only recently formed, so I know very little about it!"
"It seems that you will not be able to pass this level of the emperor. In this way, this so-called god-making plan will probably end in failure." Hun Yujing shook his head slightly, his tone full of regret.
"No, I haven't lost yet!" Yu Kai's soul responded firmly. As soon as he finished speaking, a long, ancient whip appeared in his hand. This whip had a unique shape, emitting a faint glow. It was the Ghost King Whip, renowned in the underworld.
"Hmm!" Hun Yujing's gaze fell on the long whip, his brow furrowed in a moment, his expression growing serious. "I never thought you possessed a Horcrux capable of suppressing ghosts and monsters! Let me witness its power!" With that, his soul power surged, instantly condensing into a series of gleaming longswords. With a gentle wave of his hand, a cloud of soul swords whistled towards Yu Kai like a torrential rain, tearing tiny cracks through space wherever they passed.
Yu Kai didn't dare slack off for a moment, immediately wielding the Ghost King Whip with all his might. In an instant, whip shadows flew like streaks of black lightning, weaving through the void to form an impenetrable defensive net. He precisely yanked the rapidly approaching soul swords away. As they flew, puffs of corrosive black smoke rose from the soul swords, as if corroded by some powerful force, slowly dissipating into nothingness.
"Where did you get this long whip?" Hun Yujing's face turned pale as paper in an instant. It was obvious that the dissipation of the soul sword had caused great damage to his soul power.
"This is what I got in the underworld." Yu Kai knocked away the last soul sword and said calmly to Hun Yujing.
"It seems that your world is not inferior to our vast fairyland. This emperor will make another attack. If you can withstand it, you will pass!" Hun Yujing stared at Yu Kai, slowly stretched out his palm, and grabbed him through the air.
Yu Kai was horrified, feeling as if his soul were being tightly gripped by an invisible yet powerful force, being ripped away frantically, as if it would shatter completely in the next second. "What should I do?" he frantically thought, his thoughts racing. In that critical moment, he suddenly remembered that mysterious, all-powerful spiritual power. He immediately focused his mind, fully mobilizing this mysterious power, instantly enveloping his soul.
As the mysterious spiritual power enveloped him, the terrifying extraction force was successfully blocked. Yu Kai was delighted and secretly marveled, "How on earth did this mysterious spiritual power come about? It's so powerful!"
Watching the mysterious spiritual energy emanating from Yu Kai's body, Hun Yujing slowly withdrew his hand, knowing he could no longer harm him. He hesitated, then sighed helplessly, "You've passed this test. I hope you can continue to advance courageously and ultimately surpass us." With that, his body slowly transformed into a stream of pure spiritual power, merging into Yu Kai's body.
Yu Kai suddenly felt his soul transformed, becoming almost tangible in strength. Countless insights into the soul, attack methods, and cultivation methods flooded into his mind like a tide. Every level he passed was a golden opportunity, allowing his strength to soar.
After a brief recovery, Yu Kai awoke from his vast enlightenment. As his soul grew stronger, his strength soared, successfully breaking through to the mid-stage of the Saint Emperor. The battles he had fought had not only solidified his realm but also deepened his understanding of the laws. In particular, the integration of the insights of the Twelve Ancestral Witches with those of these otherworldly powers had benefited him immensely, as if a new door had opened in his spiritual path.
Just as he rose to his feet, ready to face a new challenge, a slight ripple appeared in the air before him, and a young man in a gray robe appeared out of thin air. The boy looked ordinary, but he had a pair of bright and lively eyes that seemed to contain endless wisdom.
The young man smiled at Yu Kai, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "My name is Zhou Yi, and I control the law of chance. You don't need to attack me, because you can't hurt me at all. For me, every danger in the world can be transformed into my opportunity!"
"What? There is such a magical law?" Yu Kai's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously raised the Moon Spirit Holy Sword in his hand, with an urge to give it a try.
This action frightened Zhou Yi so much that he quickly waved his hands and quickly stepped back, shouting, "What are you doing! What are you doing!" He looked as if Yu Kai was a monster and was extremely afraid of him.
"Senior, I just want to see how you turn danger into opportunity!" Seeing this, Yu Kai hurriedly put down the raised Moon Spirit Holy Sword, with an awkward smile on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"My law of chance can't suppress you. You are like the son of the world. This law of chance has no effect on you at all!" Zhou Yi stared at Yu Kai closely, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and a hint of jealousy.
"Really? Senior, why didn't I notice it?" Yu Kai asked with a puzzled look.
"Haven't you noticed yet? Every time you've experienced a crisis, you either become much stronger or meet someone who helps you!" Zhou Yi said unhappily, "You, who don't even cultivate the Law of Chance, have even better luck than me, who specializes in it!"
After hearing what he said, Yu Kai thought carefully and it seemed to be true. Afterwards, he humbly asked Zhou Yi for some insights on the law of chance. Since he didn't have to fight Zhou Yi, it meant that he had successfully passed this level.
