Chapter 3 Breakthrough to the Divine Soul Realm
"Spirit Locking Array, activate!"
A loud shout rang out from a spirit array master, and the array that had been set up around the area was immediately activated.
Several chains of spiritual energy suddenly appeared from the void and wrapped around the Thunderscale Dragon Python.
"Thunderbolt Fist!"
Old Qin was the first to rush out, his fists crackling with lightning.
The rest of the entourage also joined in, with dazzling lightning flashing and surging thunder erupting, turning the surroundings into a sea of lightning once again.
Most people in the Thunder Domain practice the methods of thunder, so their attack methods are mostly based on thunder.
Seeing this, Qin Hao did not hold back. He mobilized his spiritual power and pointed towards the Thunderscale Dragon Python.
A bolt of lightning, condensed to its fullest extent, appeared at his fingertips and then suddenly burst forth.
In an instant, the lightning bolt pierced through the head of the Thunderscale Dragon Python.
The massive body of the Thunderscale Dragon Python crashed to the ground with a thud at that moment.
As one of the moves of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, the power of the Thunder Emperor's Finger is self-evident.
Furthermore, the Thunderscale Dragon Python was already in a weakened state after its tribulation, so Qin Hao killed it instantly with a single move.
For a moment, everyone in the Thunder Domain stared in disbelief in the direction where Qin Hao was.
That ferocious Thunderscale Dragon Python is dead just like that?!
This was a Divine Soul Realm expert! Our young master, a mere Spirit Wheel Realm cultivator, actually killed a Divine Soul Realm expert in a single move!
With the death of the Thunderscale Dragon Python, its corresponding essence was quickly extracted by Elder Qin and his men.
"Young Master, good news! This Thunderscale Dragon Python has truly evolved successfully; its essence is that of the Thunder Spirit Mad Flood Dragon!"
Old Qin excitedly shouted at Qin Hao, holding a spirit in his hand.
Looking at the essence in Elder Qin's hand, Qin Hao also smiled.
The Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon Essence is ranked 14th on the Earth Ranking, an absolutely powerful existence, and its attributes are extremely compatible with him.
If he hadn't happened to encounter a Thunderscale Dragon Python undergoing tribulation, he definitely wouldn't have had the chance to obtain the essence of the Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon.
"Protect me, and I will absorb the essence to break through to the Divine Soul Realm," Qin Hao said, accepting the essence.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Qin immediately began organizing people to set up defenses around the area.
Qin Hao found a place to sit cross-legged, and began to absorb and advance his cultivation by holding the essence of the Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon.
As soon as he began to absorb it, he felt a strong surge of lightning power enter his body and begin to rampage through it.
However, in the blink of an eye, he suppressed the power of lightning, making her as easily manipulated as a disciplined young girl.
Having inherited the Thunder Emperor's treasured techniques, his mastery of the Thunder Dao was naturally profound, and he could easily overpower the power within the Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon's essence.
The next second, a fierce aura surged from his essence and rushed straight into Qin Hao's sea of consciousness.
The spirit comes from the hunted spirit beast, and naturally carries the resentment and murderous aura it possessed at the time of its death.
However, this malevolent aura was only fierce for less than a breath before Qin Hao easily extinguished it by mobilizing the power of thunder.
About fifteen minutes later, Qin Hao's lightning power suddenly erupted, and his powerful aura shook outwards.
At the same time, the enormous phantom of the Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon also appeared behind him.
Feeling the powerful energy within his body, Qin Hao's face lit up with joy.
"Success! Young Master has successfully refined the essence of the Thunder Spirit Mad Dragon!"
"Congratulations, Young Master, on advancing to the Divine Soul Realm!"
In an instant, everyone in the Thunder Domain had joy on their faces and congratulated Qin Hao on his breakthrough.
They were all from the Thunder Domain, and the fact that the young master of the Thunder Domain had broken through to the Divine Soul Realm was undoubtedly a good thing for them.
"Elder Qin, give the order that, to celebrate my breakthrough to the Divine Soul Realm, the rewards for the members who participated in this hunt will be doubled, and the Thunder Domain will be exempt from taxes for six months starting today."
Upon hearing this, Elder Qin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Young Master, doubling the reward is a small matter, but is exempting you from taxes too ostentatious? After all, you have only just broken through to the Divine Soul Realm."
"Over in Liuyu..."
"It's nothing. It's just the Willow Domain. I've been nothing to fear since I stepped into the Divine Soul Realm."
Qin Hao said calmly, an indescribable confidence emanating from him.
Before reaching the Divine Soul Realm, he still had to worry about Liu Jingshan, who was at the half-step Fusion Realm in Liu Yu. Now that he had reached the Divine Soul Realm, it was time to settle the old scores with Liu Yu.
Ever since he revealed his talent, Liu Yu has been making quite a few underhanded moves against Lei Yu.
He had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for Liu Yu to die; instead, he would take the initiative to attack!
Putting aside the past grievances between the two regions, the very issue of the five academies' seed quotas would inevitably lead to a life-or-death struggle between the two sides.
Instead of waiting for others to make a counter-attack, it's better to take the initiative and nip the risk in the bud.
At most, Liu Jingshan is at the half-step Fusion Realm now, but after a while, he will be a true Fusion Realm cultivator, at which point things will become much more difficult.
If we didn't know, that would be fine, but since we do know, we should definitely strike first.
Upon returning to the Thunder Domain, a special person recounted the major news that had occurred in the Northern Spirit Realm during their hunting trip.
Upon hearing the news that Beiling Academy had seeded spots this year, Elder Qin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"What?! The Northern Spirit Academy has seed spots for all five major academies this year?!"
"That's right, the Northern Spirit Academy has already announced this matter, there's no faking it."
Upon hearing this, Elder Qin became excited and clasped his hands in greeting to Qin Hao, saying, "Congratulations, young master! This is truly a godsend opportunity. This seed spot is definitely yours."
Qin Hao nodded slightly. "Elder Qin, have Thunder Domain prepare for battle."
Old Master Qin was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized, "Young Master, you mean the Willow Domain..."
"That's right, Liu Yu definitely won't miss out on the seed spots. Rather than waiting for them to make the first move, we should strike first."
"Understood, I'll go and gather the necessary manpower right away."
......
Meanwhile, in Liuyu.
"Is the news confirmed?! The Northern Spirit Academy really has five seed spots for the major academies this year?" Liu Qingtian suddenly stood up and confirmed in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
"The information is correct; it has been confirmed by the Northern Spirit Academy."
"Father, this is wonderful! The Northern Spirit Academy has never had a seeded spot in all these years."
Liu Mubai, standing to the side, spoke up, his face full of excitement, clearly already considering the seed spot a sure thing.
Liu Qingtian nodded, "That's true, but Mu Bai, you can't let your guard down. That kid from the Thunder Domain has also shown considerable strength in the past two years."
To ensure everything goes smoothly, you'll be going to the forbidden area in the back mountain during this time; Grandpa will help you with your cultivation.
"Grandpa?" Liu Mubai was shocked. "Hasn't Grandpa been missing for three years?"
"Haha, that's just talk to outsiders. Your grandfather has already broken through to the Three Heavens Realm in seclusion. Once he emerges, the Northern Spirit Realm will be our Liu Region's for the taking!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mubai also became excited, and a sense of confidence welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"It's terrible! Domain Lord, something horrible has happened! Qin Hao of the Thunder Domain has broken through to the Divine Soul Realm!"
"What?!"
Liu Qingtian, seated at the head of the table, paled visibly, his expression shifting to one of shock and fury. "Damn it! How did you gather information? Why didn't you discover something as crucial as him acquiring the spirit beast's essence beforehand?!"
"Father, what should we do? Qin Hao has broken through to the Divine Soul Realm. Does that mean this seed quota has nothing to do with our Willow Domain?"
Liu Mubai said anxiously from the side, his confidence, which had just risen in his heart, vanished at this moment.
A fierce look appeared on Liu Qingtian's face, and he smiled coldly, "Mu Bai, you should know that those who achieve great things cannot panic when faced with difficulties. So what if Qin Hao breaks through to the Divine Soul Realm?"
He's only just broken through to the Divine Soul Realm. If he can't participate in the competition for the spots, what does the spot have to do with him?
