Chapter 1315: Chapter 1316: Perilous Breakthrough, Divine Venerate Achieved

The Twelfth Prince, clueless about how to woo a girl, directly captured Mengli, believing that his natural talents would surely make Mengli fall for him.

"So you’re the prince of the Dead Soul Royal Family, huh? He says he’s the prince of your Dead Soul Royal Family."

Hei Qi said tremblingly.

"Prince?"

The Twelfth Prince sneered, "Now even cats and dogs can impersonate the prince of my Dead Soul Royal Family? Where is he now?"

"He should be nearby!"

Hei Qi’s words had just fallen when a distant mountain exploded, and a figure suddenly appeared in the air — it was none other than Ye Mo.

Having consumed the last Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit, he felt a powerful idea surge, as if he was on the verge of ascending to Divine Venerate.

Under that strong idea, his Perfect Soul Body shattered into a ball of energy, which suddenly burst with powerful soul energy, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the soul energy of the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit.

Boom!

One after another, the tribulations began descending from the sky. These tribulations were not physical attacks but spiritual attacks, transforming into illusory flashes of thunder, and with even the slightest mistake, one might perish completely, remaining forever at the Wheel of Reincarnation’s realm; it’s incredibly dangerous.

Now, Ye Mo finally began enduring the soul tribulations, starting his ascension to the Divine Venerate Realm.

However, as the spiritual tribulations crashed down, although his Soul Sea was slowly forming, it was far from the point of complete cohesion.

The energy from the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit had completely vanished.

"Ye Mo!"

Li Mengli instantly recognized the one undergoing the tribulation — it was Ye Mo. She could also see that Ye Mo was now in a state of excited danger.

"So, he’s attempting ascension but lacks sufficient soul energy, unable to ascend. Haha, this suits me perfectly."

The Twelfth Prince moved his body, instantly appearing before Ye Mo.

"Damn!"

Ye Mo shouted that it was not good; he never expected this ascension to end in failure.

"So you’re the one impersonating the Dead Soul Royal Family? It seems you stole the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit to break through to Divine Venerate, but apparently, your soul energy is completely depleted. Seven Heavenly Demon Hell Fruits couldn’t make you ascend to Divine Venerate. Such immense soul energy couldn’t achieve your ascension; truly astonishing. Even when I ascended to Divine Venerate back in the day, I never consumed so much soul energy."

The Twelfth Prince looked at Ye Mo, surprisingly saying, "If you succeed in ascending, your soul cultivation would definitely surpass mine. Too bad you have no chance now. I happen to be able to absorb your shattered soul body to enhance my soul cultivation."

Boom!

The Twelfth Prince reached his hand forward, a phantom palm suddenly probing out, aiming directly at the top of Ye Mo’s head.

Ye Mo’s expression changed; he summoned the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, aggressively piercing towards the Twelfth Prince to fend off his attack.

Simultaneously, the fragmented soul energy ball within his body reignited. Since he couldn’t ascend, he had to start restructuring his soul body, seeking the next breakthrough.

A prototype of a soul body was once again formed.

"Failed ascension and now attempting to restructure your soul body?"

The Twelfth Prince sneered, striking again. His phantom arm radically transformed into four threads, entwining the soul body that was recomposing itself. This was a soul technique known as the Thousand Silk Stripping Technique, capable of pulling out the soul of a Martial Artist with a shattered body.

Now Ye Mo, due to the failed ascension, shattered his soul body. It’s a pity that seven Heavenly Demon Hell Fruits couldn’t enable his ascension, resulting in his failed attempt. And it’s his most dangerous moment yet, as this Twelfth Prince tried to take advantage of his failed ascension to capture his soul body.

"Get lost!"

Ye Mo roared, executing Peerless Motian, yet found that this strike couldn’t achieve its former might.

"Damn it, with the soul body shattered, my might disappears again!"

Ye Mo’s strike pierced the Twelfth Prince’s body but couldn’t shake his defense. Meanwhile, his shattered soul body had been completely torn out and was grabbed by the Twelfth Prince’s hand, directly crushed into a ball.

"Haha, such abundant soul energy! This is way beyond what a newly ascended Divine Venerate should reach."

The Twelfth Prince widened his mouth, a phantom soul body emanated from him, and instantly swallowed all of Ye Mo’s soul energy.

Around them, the Martial Artists watched this scene, their faces filled with stupefaction. The Twelfth Prince’s move was beyond anything they had ever seen, able to directly use his own soul body to consume another’s, enhancing his soul cultivation—a technique far from ordinary.

"He’s from the Soul Devouring Clan; absolutely from the Soul Devouring Clan, able to devour other’s soul bodies, using them directly to cultivate, no wonder his soul cultivation is so potent."

Immediately, someone exclaimed, shocked that the Soul Devouring Clan could directly consume souls and claim them, turning them into their soul energy. Ordinary Martial Artists could only slowly enhance their soul cultivation through training and consumption of treasures.

Li Mengli watched this scene, her eyes instantly moistening; she had cultivated to Half Honor, understanding bitterly what the previous scene implied.

"Destruction, let’s go!"

The Twelfth Prince ignored the amazed stares around him; he was well accustomed to such looks.

"Can even a Perfect Soul Body be devoured by you?"

At that moment, a voice echoed from the Twelfth Prince’s body.

"If you hadn’t devoured my soul body, it would have been impossible for me to ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm. No matter how powerful, souls cannot devour a Perfect Soul Body. My restructuring was just a deception to lure you. Unexpectedly, you truly devoured my soul body, enabling me to shatter your soul, borrowing the energy from your Soul Sea and making a decisive ascension to Divine Venerate."

"What?"

Boom!

The Twelfth Prince shivered violently, his eyes suddenly becoming vacant, as copious amounts of soul origin escaped from within him. Ye Mo had directly exploded the Twelfth Prince’s Soul Sea, provoking another tribulation.

Destruction witnessed this scene, his expression transformed drastically; he intended to act but was immediately blocked by the terrifying spiritual tribulation that descended.

Simultaneously, Ye Mo’s Perfect Soul Body began to condense at an immense speed.

With dazzling soul tribulations summoned entirely, smashing down, Ye Mo’s soul body became increasingly solid, transforming into a stream of light that surged into the Brain Domain.

The vast soul power erupted once more, and Ye Mo’s Soul Sea formed again at this moment.

Boom!

Accompanied by the descent of a thousand thunders!

Divine Venerate Realm attained!
