It took an entire day and night for Yan to fully absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Core.
When he opened his eyes, he found Yue Guan and Ghost staring at him with expectant expressions.
Yan knew that without Yue Guan's soul power and Ghost's spiritual assistance, with his current strength, he would have never been able to withstand that immense and evil power.
"Yan, it looks like you've fully absorbed it. How do you feel?"
"Mm, I can now control that evil power."
Yan stood up and looked at Yue Guan and Ghost, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Teacher, Elder Ghost, thank you. Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to withstand that massive evil force."
Yue Guan smiled and nodded, deeply gratified.
"You did well. Although the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Core is evil, as long as you can control it, it can become a great asset to you."
Ghost also nodded, speaking with some anticipation:
"Release your evil power. Let me see it."
"Alright."
Yan took a deep breath and extended his right hand.
A strange sense of pressure quietly spread through the surrounding air.
Immediately after, a faint black mist rose from the center of Yan's palm, quickly condensing into a deep and mysterious black vortex.
The center of that vortex seemed like an endless abyss, devouring all surrounding light, leaving behind a bottomless darkness.
The black vortex suddenly ignited, and astonishingly, the flame was also black.
Yue Guan and Ghost both sensed the powerful force contained in that black flame.
They could clearly feel the scorching heat and malevolence within the fire.
Ghost said excitedly:
"Just as I expected. After absorbing that evil power, you gained a black flame. If I'm not mistaken, this black flame doesn't conflict with your original fire power."
Yan nodded.
"Elder Ghost, you're absolutely right. This black flame is formed from a fusion of my spiritual power, flame power, and evil power. It can burn the opponent's spirit and also devour their soul power. I call it the Soul-Devouring Black Flame."
"Excellent. This evil power is indeed strong, but it can easily cause one to lose themselves. You must use it with caution."
"Mm, I understand. Thank you for the warning."
Yue Guan smiled and said:
"Yan, that Core was the essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although it's not a soul ring, it should still help you improve significantly."
"Mm, I can feel I've grown much stronger. My soul power has increased by three levels."
Upon hearing this, both Yue Guan and Ghost showed shocked expressions. They hadn't expected Yan's soul power to increase by so much.
Yue Guan said happily:
"Then you're now at Level 69. It won't be long before you can hunt a soul beast and obtain your seventh soul ring."
"Mm."
Yan was also looking forward to his upcoming seventh soul ring.
At this moment, it was deep into the night.
Seeing that Yan had awakened safely, the two elders returned to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Xie Yue arrived at Yue Manor.
He had heard that Yan returned yesterday and came specifically to see him today.
After two and a half years, seeing Yan again made Xie Yue a little emotional.
"Brother Yan, you're really something. It's been so long, and when you came back, you didn't even let us know."
"I only got back yesterday. Something came up and delayed me. I was actually planning to visit you today."
To catch up with Yan, over the past two and a half years, Xie Yue had been training even harder.
Yan noticed the changes in Xie Yue—he had become more mature and determined.
Xie Yue also felt that Yan's presence had become even stronger.
"Come on, let's go to my place and have a proper chat."
"Sure, let me inform Elder Chrysanthemum first."
Afterward, Yan and Xie Yue headed to Xie Yue's residence.
The two chatted as they walked.
Xie Yue asked:
"Brother Yan, it's been over two years since we last met. What level is your soul power now?"
"Level sixty-nine."
Yan didn't intend to hide anything and told him the truth.
"What?! Level sixty-nine?!"
Xie Yue was stunned, finding it unbelievable.
He had heard from Hu Liena that cultivating in the Slaughter City made it extremely difficult to raise one's soul power.
Yet even so, Yan had still managed to gain more than ten levels over these two years.
He had no idea how Yan had accomplished this.
"Brother Yan, you're incredible. Looks like I'll never be able to catch up to you in this lifetime." Xie Yue shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Yan patted his shoulder.
"Don't sell yourself short. I heard from Elder Chrysanthemum that you've already broken through to level sixty-two. That's pretty impressive too."
"Compared to you, I've still got a long way to go. I really want to know what you've experienced these past two years."
"Come on, we'll talk as we go."
The two then shared their experiences from the past two years.
Xie Yue couldn't help but marvel what Yan had gone through seemed almost fantastical. Having absorbed two mysterious Imner Core in succession, it was no wonder his soul power had increased so rapidly.
Soon, the two arrived at Xie Yue's residence.
This was the home shared by the sibling pair Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Though not as luxurious as the Yue Manor, it was still far beyond what ordinary people could afford.
"Brother Yan, Nana isn't in the estate at the moment. I'm living here alone. Just treat this place like your own home make yourself comfortable."
"Alright. In the next couple of days, I'll be moving into my own residence too."
Yan guessed that Hu Liena was likely undergoing secret training from Bibi Dong, helping her suppress the excess killing aura within her.
Yan stayed at Xie Yue's place for two days before moving into his own residence.
It was very close to Xie Yue's home, and the size and layout were roughly the same.
Yan didn't care much for such things. As long as he had a place to stay in Spirit City, that was enough.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Bibi Dong summoned Elders Chrysanthemum and Ghost, along with Yan and Xie Yue, to the Pope's Palace for a meeting.
Bibi Dong seemed in a good mood and smiled as she said:
"Elders, I've called you here today because I have an important task for you."
"Please instruct us, Your Majesty."
"According to the intelligence Yan brought back, the Strength Clan in Heaven Dou City and the divine craftsman Lou Gao of the Star Luo Empire pose a great threat to the Spirit Hall and soul masters. Therefore, I need you to take people and eliminate them."
The two elders exchanged glances.
They had long been anticipating this operation.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will complete the mission."
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction and turned her gaze to Yan and Xie Yue.
"These past few years, Yan and Xie Yue have both grown considerably. It's time they faced a more difficult test. Yan, you will go with Elder Chrysanthemum to eliminate the Strength Clan. Xie Yue, you will accompany Elder Ghost to Gangxin City and take Lou Gao's head."
"Yes."
The two answered in unison, both feeling somewhat excited.
"Elders, remember: this is a covert mission. Do not leave the two great empires with any evidence to use against us."
"Understood."
"Then go make your preparations and depart as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Afterward, the group left the Pope's Palace.
Everyone was looking forward to this mission.
