Chapter 60 – Mid-stage Grandmaster Realm! Soul-Eating Art! Surge in Mental Power!

“Ding! Detected host has slain an Emperor-Class Star Beast. Reward amplified fiftyfold!”

“Congratulations to the host for gaining fifty years of cultivation!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the soul secret technique, Soul-Eating Art!”

As the system prompts rang out one after another, Qin Yang felt immensely exhilarated!

“Woo-hoo, taking off!”

Qin Yang reviewed the rewards with satisfaction, excitement bubbling up from the crown of his head.

How many days had it been since he last reached the early Grandmaster stage?

Had it been less than a week?

And now, before he could even settle in, he received another fifty years of cultivation.

It was like a little heifer riding a motorcycle—

Absolutely badass!

But beyond that.

What Qin Yang cared about even more was this soul secret technique called the “Soul-Eating Art.”

After all, spiritual power techniques were inherently rare. Even the Jianghai City Library had only a few, which showed just how precious such divine skills were!

“Not bad, not bad. This feels great.”

Standing under the eaves, Qin Yang took stock of his gains and felt thoroughly pleased.

Then, he looked toward the spot where the Soul Devouring Worm had died.

On the alternately flashing traffic lights, a pale, translucent bead hovered quietly. Raindrops passed through it, and a rich soul energy emanated from within.

This was the Soul Devouring Worm’s spiritual power crystal.

“Toiling your whole life, only to end up making a wedding dress for me in the end.”

Qin Yang looked at the crystal, not holding back at all, and directly expressed gratitude for nature’s bounty as he reached out and released his Star Power.

In the next moment, the soul crystal on the traffic lights was drawn across the curtain of rain, swiftly landing in his hand.

It was a small, round bead.

Translucent and lustrous, with faint, eerie soul whispers barely audible.

Qin Yang weighed it between his fingers, a sense of harvest joy rising in his heart, and promptly tucked it into his chest.

“Now that the Soul Devouring Worm has been eliminated, similar tragedies shouldn’t happen again in the future.”

Thinking this.

Qin Yang slightly released his spiritual power, sensing the situation at the intersection.

The rain fell softly.

The Star Martial Police Department’s task force stood in the pouring rain, armed and spread around the road, meticulously conducting a carpet search.

However, they had no idea.

Just seconds earlier.

A thrilling hunt in the rain had taken place right above their heads.

The aberrant insect responsible for the incident had already been utterly erased in an instant.

Qin Yang covered the entire intersection with his spiritual power, confirming that no trace of the Soul Devouring Worm remained before quietly departing.

With that.

The incident at the crossroads was officially concluded.

The Star Martial Police Department publicly attributed it to a slippery road accident due to the rain, to reduce public panic.

But they couldn’t stop some from spreading rumors.

In the following months, those rumors circulated online, mixing truth and falsehood, until public opinion solidified them into one of Jianghai City’s traffic urban legends…

………………………

In the hallway, Qin Yang carried a freshly bought roast chicken, planning to celebrate, and took out his keys to unlock the door.

A rich aroma of lamb soup wafted over.

“Master, you’re finally back!”

Xiaobai put down the bowl of lamb offal soup she was holding and hurried to the door to greet him, her three fluffy tails wagging behind her.

“Nice, smells amazing.”

Qin Yang inhaled the scent in the air, his appetite whetted, and reached out to pinch Xiaobai’s delicate cheek. Her tender, flawless skin felt wonderful to the touch.

This little cook was becoming more and more capable by the day.When I no longer feel like working at the library someday, I’ll open a small restaurant with her and feature a signature homemade dish daily…

She’ll be in charge of cooking, and I’ll be in charge of enjoying it!

Perfectly reasonable!

“Go make a platter with this roasted chicken. I’m having an extra meal tonight.”

Qin Yang handed the roasted chicken to Xiaobai, then went to the sofa, preparing to absorb fifty years of cultivation right there.

These days, he had been absorbing cultivation with increasing frequency and had become quite proficient at it.

Just by sitting on the sofa and giving a slight mental command,

fifty years of accumulated cultivation merged completely, instantly flowing through his entire body.

Qin Yang’s heart was as calm as still water, yet the aura radiating from his body surged like roaring thunder, erupting with powerful energy that filled the entire room.

In the kitchen.

Xinbai was using a kitchen knife to debone the chicken when she suddenly sensed the unusual disturbance in the air. Subconsciously looking toward Qin Yang’s direction, a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

“? “

He’s gotten stronger again?

It’s only been a few days, and he actually broke through again?

How is this even possible!

Xiaobai’s beast ears drooped, her face instantly turning ashen as she murmured: “It’s over, it’s over… It seems this Fairy will never escape in this lifetime…”

……

A moment later.

Qin Yang finished absorbing the cultivation and withdrew his aura, then began practicing the Soul-Eating Art.

Those who master this art can feed on the souls of all living beings, freely devouring them and arbitrarily browsing through the memories of those consumed!

The Soul-Eating Art, being a spiritual power-related supernatural ability, specializes in consuming various spiritual energies while fearing no adverse backlash, truly deserving to be called the soul glutton.

“Perfect for absorbing the soul crystal.”

Qin Yang closed his eyes and covered the crystal’s surface with his spiritual power.

Threads of spiritual power seeped into it.

Continuously drawing souls and merging them into his own Sea of Consciousness, his original spiritual sense range skyrocketed, like mountain torrents pouring forth, rapidly advancing from a stream toward the ocean!

“Master, what treasure do you have on you?”

At this moment, Xiaobai put down the vegetables in her hands, wrinkled her delicate nose, and approached Qin Yang intimately, saying, “Why do I smell spiritual power? I remember you didn’t have this scent before you went out!”

“You mean this?”

Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, then turned his palm over to summon the soul crystal.

Instantly!

When the crystal appeared, abundant soul power radiated outward, sweeping through the room like a fierce wind.

Witnessing this,

Xiaobai’s eyes widened sharply as she pointed at Qin Yang in shock: “Th-this… where did you get this thing?!”

The soul power erupting from the crystal was incredibly dense, instantly overturning her understanding.

Even having lived this long, this was the first time she had encountered such terrifying reserves.

“Where did I get it?”

Qin Yang looked at Xiaobai and teased: “Found it on the road.”

“……”

Xiaobai was immediately speechless, but feeling the soul power brewing within the crystal, she couldn’t help craving it intensely.

If she could absorb this spiritual energy, she might reach the Peak Innate Realm and touch the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm.

Thinking of this.

Xiaobai looked up at Qin Yang, pressing her entire delicate body against his side, and said in a coquettish voice: “Master, could you give this to your servant? Your servant wants it too…”

After she finished speaking.

But Qin Yang remained unmoved, responding with a big roll of his eyes.

Such a precious treasure wasn’t even enough for his own use…

How could he possibly give it to someone else?

“Xiaobai, are you dreaming?”With that, Qin Yang intensified his absorption and directly swallowed the last trace of soul energy right in front of Xiaobai.

Poof!

Having lost its stored soul, the crystal instantly turned to dust and dissipated into the air.

“You!”

Xiaobai’s eyes reddened instantly, feeling inexplicably wronged, her gaze misty with unshed tears.

Though she wasn’t human, Qin Yang was truly a dog!

“See, getting impatient again.”

Qin Yang pointed at Xiaobai and laughed, “I’ll allow you to use an Illusion on me once to vent.”

“Fine, fine, fine! You said it yourself!” Xiaobai’s eyes reddened with a mix of anger and embarrassment. Gritting her silver teeth, she immediately unleashed her Illusion.

The next moment.

Demons danced wildly, eerie winds howled, and malevolent spirits roamed the room as if it were a parade of a hundred ghosts.

Yet, Qin Yang remained unmoved by the illusions, merely smiling.

With a focused gaze of his condensed spiritual power,

In an instant, all illusions shattered.

He had seen through the fox clan’s strongest Illusion with a single glance!
