Chapter 590: I was just pretending, but they took it seriously!
Looking at the sudden death of the Yanling Venerable, Zhaixing Old Ghost was somewhat surprised:

"Perfected the Soul-Breaking Finger?"

The old ghost Zhaixing knew very well that the "destroying finger" in "Soul-breaking Finger" refers to the compression of the energy and then its release, causing large-scale damage.

And people like Yang Shan who have been controlling their finger energy and drilling into the body of Yan Ling Zun before unleashing their power.
The power of the finger force has not changed.

But the finger force explosion occurred inside the relatively weak body.

The actual damage caused to Venerable Yan Ling was completely different from the explosion in front of him!
After breaking through to the Dou Zun realm, his Qi and blood were vigorous, and his muscles, bones, and skin were greatly improved, but his internal organs were still fragile.

Reverend Yan Ling's bones and flesh were able to withstand the finger force.

But all his internal organs had been blown to pieces.

Such exquisite control ability can only be achieved at the perfect level!
The practice of "Soul-Breaking Finger" is quite difficult. Generally speaking, one has to be at the Dou Zun realm and rely on accumulated experience to practice it relatively easily.

"Cheng E" is only a five-star Dou Zong.
and many more!

Nine-star Dou Zong?

The old ghost Zhaixing never took his eyes away from Yang Shan for even a second.

It's not just him.

Hundan and Feng Qing'er both looked incredulous.

The guardian Wu knelt down and slammed his head hard on the ground:

"Mr. Evil is a genius of all time! Xiaowu is lucky enough to follow Mr. Evil, and I have no regrets in this life!"

The soul-dead man was even more furious, jumping up and down:

"Cheng E! You can't do this! I am the genius of the Soul Palace! I am!"

Feng Qing'er's mind was almost unstable!
It's not like she hasn't seen someone break through several star levels at once.

In the Tian Yao Huang clan, she participated in the coming-of-age ceremony of the young clan leader Jiu Feng.

At that time, Jiufeng bathed in the medicinal liquid refined from various high-level spiritual plants, and used special formation seals to temper his body. His cultivation level jumped from the middle seventh stage to the late seventh stage.

However, Jiufeng has medicinal liquid as energy supply and special formation seals to cooperate with tempering. Most importantly, Jiufeng has ninth-grade bloodline, so he can have such an exaggerated improvement.

But what did "Cheng E" do?
Killed a Dou Zun with finger force.

Then, as soon as he closed his eyes, his cultivation level would increase rapidly!

From five-star Dou Zong to nine-star Dou Zong, a full four stars!

Feng Qing'er had just broken through to the nine-star Dou Zong not long ago, but it took her nearly a year to go from five stars to nine stars!

And it is supported by the resources of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan!

Compared with "Cheng E", Feng Qing'er felt that her sixth-grade bloodline was a joke.

Let alone her, even Jiufeng, who shoulders the future of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, seems to be only average.
Hundan and Feng Qing'er are of the same generation as Yang Shan. After all, their experience cannot compare to that of the old ghost Zhaixing who has lived for who knows how many hundreds of years.

Zhongzhou is vast and boundless, and there are a lot of geniuses from other regions in Zhongzhou.

But Zhaixing Laogui can guarantee that he has never seen such an outrageous young man!

The old man Zhaixing can be considered a "genius", otherwise he would not have reached his current level.

But Zhaixing Old Ghost felt that he was inferior to "Cheng E".
"Have I lived like a dog for the past few hundred years?"

General Yang Shan took in the expressions of everyone present.

He is very satisfied with the results of this "rocket upgrade"!

Old bitches usually need to keep a low profile, but there are always some situations that are not "usual".

Compared to Yang Shan, who has already made a name for himself in Zhongzhou, "Cheng E" is indeed a little too weak.

Not only his reputation, but also Cheng E's combat power is weak as he dares not rashly use his main fighting skills. At the same level, Cheng E can't even beat Xiao Aotian!

This combat power is certainly enough in the Black Horn Region.

But in the Soul Palace where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a mere five-star Dou Zong, even with the relationship of a soul-destroying person, is still just an insignificant little character.

Yang Shanben could have used the Sea Heart Flame to conceal his own aura. Even if a little bit of his aura leaked out, at most it would have manifested as a fluctuation of "increasing by one star".

But Yang Shan chose not to hide anything in front of the old ghost Zhaixing!

The old ghost Zhaixing has a certain say in the Soul Palace.

And he is now the bound person of the Hundan Tianzun token.

Yang Shan didn't believe that the soulless ancestors would be so confident in this descendant of the seventh-grade bloodline.

After the old ghost Zhaixing leaves, he will definitely tell all the information here to the damn ancestors in detail.

Then, through the mouth of the old ghost Zhaixing, let the higher-ups of the Soul Palace know that he had improved his cultivation by four stars in one go.

He will definitely get enough attention!
After all, not all the high-level officials of the Soul Palace are from the Soul Clan.

As long as you have the ability and potential, you should be able to receive more training.

So Yang Shan made a request to the soul breaker, that is, he should kill the Yanling Master with his own hands!
Breaking through in battle and causing shock is a rule of the game that has been experienced by all players and confirmed by the official.

This is a "hack" given to players by the official!
Yang Shan naturally wanted to take advantage of this rule.

Yang Shan, who deliberately lowered his rank by one star, actually killed a three-star Dou Zun with the realm of a six-star Dou Zong. Even though his kill contribution rate was pitifully low, the realm gap between Yang Shan and Yan Ling Zun was too big!

The experience rewards for jumping levels are sky-high!
Plus triple the experience points for top speed potential.

The levels are skyrocketing, that's a matter of course!

I'm afraid many players have experienced killing and upgrading, and then being praised by NPCs.

There are also many players who have experienced jumping to four stars in one go.

However, most of them entered the game after version 2.0 or even 3.0 and achieved it in the fighter or master stage.

Yang Shan is using this trick in Dou Zong, this is completely different concept!
Yang Shan also pretended to sigh deeply:

"I killed Dou Zun after all."

The hundan had already rushed forward, but the anger and frustration caused by the broken defense on his face had long disappeared, and he turned into a flattering smile:
"Cheng E, Brother E! You are my real elder brother. Tell me, how did you cultivate to this level?"

Feng Qing'er and Guardian Wu both pricked up their ears.

The old ghost Zhaixing, who was using the Soul-Gathering Pearl to collect the soul of the Rock Spirit Master, was also afraid that he would miss a word.

Yang Shan's "Soul-Breaking Finger" was really cruel. It directly destroyed the soul of Master Yan Ling.

Fortunately, the people in the Soul Palace all have special methods.

Even if the opponent's soul is dissipated, as long as it is not too late, you can use relevant secret methods to gather the soul power back.

Yang Shan said calmly:
"It's nothing, actually. In my early years, I was just an insignificant Dou Wang. I thought I was very strong, and then I met a Dou Huang who pinned me to the ground and beat me. I almost died."

"When I broke into Dou Huang, I thought I was finally strong, but I offended a Dou Zong."

"Later, when I broke into the Dou Zong realm, I no longer felt that I was a strong person, because as long as I looked up, I could remember that above the Dou Zong realm, there was the Dou Zun realm!"

"I know very well how powerful I am as a Dou Zong. What about Dou Zun? In the past, there were no Dou Zun in the Black Horn Region. I couldn't even imagine how powerful Dou Zun was!"

"Since I became a Dou Zong, I have always felt somewhat lacking in energy when cultivating. I have a lot of cultivation resources at my disposal, including many spiritual objects that can improve my potential and foundation. So, it's not that my potential has reached its peak, it's that I have a demonic barrier in my heart!"

Having said that, Yang Shan let out a long sigh.

Although his face was hidden by a mask, anyone who heard this long sigh would feel like a relief.

"Today, I saw two Dou Zun fighting each other, and I killed one of them with my own hands. I know how powerful Dou Zun is, and I know that Dou Zun is not out of reach for me!"

"The moment I killed Venerable Yan Ling, my mind became clear, and the Dou Qi in my body began to accelerate uncontrollably. I no longer suppressed it, allowing it to vent the frustration that had been suppressed for many years. The next thing I saw, I was already a Nine-Star Dou Zong!"

After listening to Yang Shan’s narration, everyone fell silent.

What Yang Shan said was very mysterious, but if you think about it carefully, it does make some sense.

The old ghost Zhaixing also sighed:

"In addition to being limited by resources, aptitude, and techniques, cultivation is also greatly affected by one's state of mind. Throughout history, countless strong men have been held back by their state of mind. In my early years, I was stuck at the peak of Dou Zong and could not make any progress for nearly a hundred years. However, after I killed my enemy's entire family, it only took me one year to break through to Dou Zun. Perhaps it was because of my clear mind."

After the explanation from Zhaixing Old Ghost, the soul-dead finally accepted this statement:
"No wonder you asked to be the one to do the killing! To put it bluntly, you just want to kill a Dou Zun to satisfy your desire, right?"

Yang Shan nodded: "Yes, although it is a trick, it really helped me a lot!"

Yang Shan bowed to the old ghost Zhaixing:
"Thank you very much, young master, for your help!"

The old ghost Zhaixing also acted like an old veteran, stroking his white beard:

"Young friend Cheng E, you don't have to be polite. I am just following orders. Young friend, your mind is clear this time. I am afraid that it won't be long before my Soul Palace will have another respected elder! Maybe one day, you and I will be able to talk about the same generation!"

The ghost came up to Yang Shan and pleaded:
"Evil brother! Tell me, how, how can I make myself have a demon barrier?"

Yang Shan looked at Hun Dan as if he were a fool:

"Are you crazy? Who wants to have demonic thoughts?"

Hun Dan was anxious:

"How can I break through the demon barrier if there is no demon barrier? If I don't break through it, how can I improve my cultivation like you?"

Yang Shan: "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it! Do you understand?"

Soul: “.”

Feng Qing'er, the "outsider" standing at the back, had her brows tightly furrowed.

Demonic obstacles don't appear just because you want them, but Feng Qing'er was thinking, are there any demonic obstacles in her state of mind?
Have!
Pride is her obsession!
Breaking through the demon barrier is not about being humble.
At this moment, Yang Shan received a message:
[Ding! Players, please note that Feng Qing'er has discovered her inner demonic barrier because of your words and actions. If she can defeat the young patriarch of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, Jiufeng, Feng Qing'er's demonic barrier will be broken, and her state of mind and opportunities will have very obvious positive changes! ]

Yang Shan thought to himself:

"Good fellow! I just wanted to find a reason to improve my cultivation and show off, but Feng Qing'er, you are actually serious with me?"

No matter whether the NPC has any magical obstacles or not, the players don’t have any.

The only things holding players back are numbers!

After Feng Qing'er had an epiphany, she no longer showed any fear even when facing the old ghost Zhaixing.

However, proper etiquette still had to be followed, Feng Qing'er bowed:
"Everyone, on behalf of Fenglei Pavilion, I would like to thank you for your help. Please settle the remuneration for this trip after you return to Fenglei Pavilion!"

Two days later, the body of Venerable Yanling was hung at the gate of Donglei City.

A three-star Dou Zun who had caused a big disturbance in Fenglei Pavilion a few days ago and had a close fight with Lei Zun, actually died just like that!
Could it be that after the battle, Lei Zun gained something and became a four-star Dou Zun?
At one time, spies from countless forces flocked to Donglei City.
