"Ying..." Yali, sitting cross-legged, suddenly let out a groan.
Xia Yi turned around and saw that her fair forehead was covered with sweat, and her aura was growing increasingly chaotic.
"Help me!" Yali struggled to open her eyes and look at Xia Yi, her contorted expression showing just how much pain she was in.
Xia Yi raised an eyebrow, walked over to her, grabbed her right hand, and placed two fingers on her wrist.
"Disorderly." Xia Yi frowned slightly and tried to inject a bit of soul power into Yali, but her soul power was exceptionally violent, and as soon as his soul power entered, it was forcefully rejected.
"My internal condition is messed up; I've suppressed my soul power. You need to check it with your spiritual power," Yali gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay!" Xia Yi nodded, then released his spiritual power fully. However, as soon as it entered Yali's body, it was once again rejected by her chaotic soul power.
Even though Yali had suppressed some of her soul power, the chaotic soul power could not be completely suppressed, making it extremely difficult for Xia Yi's soul and spiritual powers to enter her body.
Xia Yi glanced at Leng Yulai and Leng Yaozhu, who were still cultivating, but he didn't disturb them. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, despite having his eyes closed, everything around him suddenly became clearer.
His consciousness quickly spread outward, and what he saw was a world filled with bizarre nine-colored light.
By concentrating, he could even distinguish every fine element molecule, clearly feeling their existence and even their emotions. This was something he had never experienced before.
Xia Yi tried using his own emotions to influence these element molecules, and immediately, these molecules obediently gathered around him under his mental control.
In an instant, the nine-colored halo around him became denser, as though he had immersed himself in a joyous ocean of elements.
"Spirit Domain." Yali was stunned. This was too easy.
Spirit Domain spiritual power was the foundation of Ultimate Douluo. How many Super Douluo would spend their lives trying and fail to reach it?
Xia Yi had broken through so easily.
When did it become this easy to break through to the Spirit Domain?
Xia Yi once again released his spiritual power, slowly infiltrating into Yali's body.
The difference between Spirit Domain and the peak of Spirit Abyss was vast. Though it was somewhat difficult, Xia Yi's spiritual power finally entered Yali's body.
Soon, Xia Yi discovered the issue. Inside Yali's body, multiple organs were enveloped in the power of Creation.
Although these organs had strong vitality fluctuations, they were somewhat incompatible with the vitality within Yali's body.
The power of Creation was trying to eliminate this part of the vitality.
But once these vital forces were lost, Yali's organs might quickly deteriorate.
Not only these organs, but other parts of her body were also being forcefully drained of vitality by the power of Creation. However, this draining was less severe than in the organs.
No wonder Yali was in so much pain. If not for the fact that the power of Creation was constantly repairing her body while extracting vitality and spiritual power, she would have probably already aged again.
"You have a source of vitality inside you that doesn't belong to you. In the short term, this vitality might benefit you, but in the long run, it will disrupt the balance of your internal vitality. What's going on?" Xia Yi asked in a deep voice.
"This is Yunming's vitality," Yali gritted her teeth and said.
"He really did exchange life forces with you," Xia Yi said curiously.
"It's not a sharing; it's an exchange," Yali's forehead beaded with sweat, and her face grew increasingly pale. "This is too complicated to explain in a few words. Help me first."
"You are already an Ultimate Douluo, and your martial soul's vitality is naturally very strong. If you just push out the vitality from Yunming inside your body, and replenish it with the vitality from your martial soul, you should be fine," Xia Yi said in a deep voice.
"My soul power is disordered, and I can hardly even use martial soul possession. The vitality replenishment speed is insufficient," Yali bit her lip and said.
"I'll use my spiritual power to guide you. You just need to channel your soul power according to my guidance and try it," Xia Yi said in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Yali nodded. Actually, she wanted Xia Yi to wake up Leng Yaozhu, but seeing that Leng Yaozhu's body was undergoing a divine transformation, she didn't want to disturb her. Hence, she turned to Xia Yi for help.
Without hesitation, Xia Yi immediately used the "Huangdi Neijing" cultivation method to guide his spiritual power along Yali's meridians.
Yali controlled her disordered soul power and followed his spiritual power's route. After a few rotations, she found that her chaotic soul power was quickly becoming smooth.
"This is..." Yali raised her head in surprise, her eyes filled with joy. Although she had never practiced Tangmen's "Xuantian Gong," she had seen Yunming and Na'er practice it.
But nothing compared to the cultivation method Xia Yi taught her.
"This situation is urgent, but I advise you not to secretly practice. First, you only know the method, and second, this cultivation method is really not suitable for you. If you practice it, you will definitely go astray," Xia Yi reminded her. "Huangdi Neijing" is a cultivation method based on the principles of yin and yang, which requires dual cultivation in the early stages.
If practiced alone, it's uncertain if one could even survive, let alone reach a high level of mastery.
Once one goes astray, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, I won't secretly practice," Yali coldly snorted.
She knew that this was Xia Yi's unique cultivation method. Since Xia Yi had already helped her, she wouldn't secretly practice his method. If she were that kind of person, she would have already pestered Yunming to teach her "Xuantian Gong."
Although she wouldn't secretly practice even if Xia Yi didn't warn her, she still felt a little upset that Xia Yi didn't fully trust her.
This made her quite unhappy. After all, they were so familiar with each other now, yet Xia Yi still didn't trust her completely.
Of course, she wasn't truly angry with Xia Yi, just throwing a little tantrum.
Following the cultivation method Xia Yi taught her, after several cycles, her soul power finally flowed smoothly.
A golden light emanated from her, first revealing a pair of huge golden wings that spread out from her back. Soon, golden armor appeared, rapidly covering her entire body and enveloping her entirely.
A golden halo appeared beneath her feet, and within the halo, patterns resembling golden feathers formed. As it appeared, the entire stone chamber was illuminated in gold, banishing the previous gloom. At the same time, the entire room was filled with a sacred aura.
A loud, bright hymn echoed through the room, its melody so pleasant that it felt like the soul was being cleansed.
A crown appeared on her head, with three little angels dancing on top. She raised her right hand, and a golden scepter fell into her grasp.
"This is a four-character battle armor," Xia Yi nodded. With her martial soul and the full release of her battle armor, Yali's aura finally stabilized. The pain on her face slowly faded, and her previously pale complexion turned rosy.
A steady stream of vitality was expelled from her pores.
Ssss! Ssss! Ssss!
The sharp sound of the air being pierced echoed across Devil Island.
The dense vitality, infused with a sharp aura, swirled through the air like long spears cutting through the atmosphere.
"No wonder Yunming. His vitality even carries a gun-like aura," Xia Yi couldn't help but nod. To hold the title of the world's strongest human for so many years, Yunming's strength was indeed extraordinary.
But perhaps this vitality was too sharp, clashing with Yali's martial soul, which was why the power of Creation had to help Yali eliminate it.
"Boom!"
A massive golden beam of light shot up into the sky, splitting the heavens.
"Guiding Light, Quasi-God," Xia Yi's brow furrowed. Yali had actually used the power of Creation to suddenly break through to the Quasi-God level.
This broke through the speed at which Leng Yaozhu had just achieved Quasi-God.
With Yali's talent, if she had cultivated normally, her limit should have been Ultimate Douluo.
This time, expelling the vitality from Yunming, balancing her internal state, gaining insight from the power of Creation, and with the cultivation method Xia Yi taught her, her immense belief power was triggered, allowing her to break through to Quasi-God this quickly.
However, her breakthrough was so sudden that her Quasi-God power wasn't quite as powerful as Leng Yaozhu's at the moment of her breakthrough.
Though, she was still stronger than most who had just broken through.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Before Xia Yi could marvel at it, another golden light pillar appeared from Leng Yulai's body. Meanwhile, in the distance of Devil Island, two more light pillars descended from the sky.
With the help of the Plane Master, Long Ye Yue and Cao Dezhi also broke through to Quasi-God.
Four Quasi-God guiding light pillars appeared almost simultaneously, and the terrifying energy tidal waves quickly enveloped Devil Island and the surrounding seas. Even soldiers of the Northern Sea Legion felt the energy in the air grow dense.
"How could this be? The guiding lights of the Light and Dark Douluo and the Heartless Douluo can't even compare to Dark Phoenix Douluo. Even with her Divine Spiritual Power, how could she not be as strong as Yali?" The Seven Great Devils, whose spiritual power had reached the third-tier God-Spirit Realm, watched in disbelief and dissatisfaction.
The four guiding light pillars—Leng Yulai's was the largest, followed by Yali's, then Long Ye Yue's and Cao Dezhi's.
"Let's ignore this for now. Tianfeng Douluo and Anfeng Douluo still need time for their bodies to evolve into divine forms. Let's accelerate our plans to prevent them from interfering," the Destruction Devil said in a deep voice, turning to the Desire Devil.
"Sure," the Desire Devil responded excitedly, eager to test her enhanced control over desire after breaking through to the third-tier God-Spirit Realm.
