At this time, the auras of Fa Rang and Xi'er erupted entirely, merging with the aura of the Pope and the other four, reinforcing the blockade of the jungle.
You Xuan and Wu Qianxun remained motionless outside the hovering aura blockade, vigilantly watching the dozen energy streams, ready to intercept at any moment.
On the plane, Fa Rang had warned that the Pope and his companions were using a formation secret technique of the Holy Court, which could only be fused by those who practiced the power of light; other energies would not work!
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen descended directly beside the Pope.
"Mr. Jiang, release your Martial Soul. There is a barrier laid down by the Temple of Light here, which can isolate the sensing of heaven and earth, so there's no need to worry about affecting celestial phenomena!" the Pope called softly.
Roar!
Jiang Chen, without any hesitation, mobilized the little bit of Soul Force that had barely recovered, fully unleashing his Martial Soul.
The sound of dragon roars resounded through the jungle, but anyone could hear the weakness in the dragon's roar.
"Have your fill!" Jiang Chen said with a light smile towards the White Divine Dragon above him.
Roar!
The White Divine Dragon, sensing the dozen or so soul auras around, immediately became excited.
"What!?"
"True Dragon Martial Spirit!?"
"How is that possible!?"
"A'erfa! What are you trying to do? Kill that kid now! Are you trying to betray your master?"
"A'erfa! Kill that kid, or you'll be committing a grave sin!"
Panicked cries echoed above the jungle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dozen or so energies struck the blockade even more fiercely!
Roar!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit seemed to sense the dozen or so soul energies trying to escape and roared furiously, darting out with a flick of its dragon tail, directly appearing in front of a soul energy.
"No!"
The panicked cries rang out again, but it was too late; the True Dragon Martial Spirit opened its mouth wide and swallowed that soul energy whole!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
After devouring a soul energy, the True Dragon Martial Spirit seemed like it was injected with adrenaline, much like a man starved for three days suddenly biting into a drumstick, it became exhilarated.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit flashed and leaped, as the soul energies fled in panic.
"No!"
"A'erfa!"
"Don't!"
"Spare me!"
Various panicked cries sounded, as the True Dragon Martial Spirit devoured all the soul energies one by one.
Roar!
After devouring all the soul energies, the True Dragon Martial Spirit let out a roar and charged toward Mi Jiaro, who lay in front of Jiang Chen.
"Wait!" Jiang Chen, startled, shouted, and with quick thinking, managed to stop the True Dragon Martial Spirit just a few meters above Mi Jiaro's head.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Chen looked at the Pope, confused. He could distinctly feel the True Dragon Martial Spirit's longing, as if the previous dozen soul energies were just the appetizers, and Mi Jiaro was the main course!
The Pope frowned slightly, glanced at the True Dragon Martial Spirit, then looked down at Mi Jiaro, and suddenly his expression changed. He urgently said, "Mr. Jiang, don't stop it, a new angel is emerging in Mi Jiaro's body!"
"What?" Jiang Chen's face changed dramatically. He raised his hand and pointed at Mi Jiaro, shouting to the True Dragon Martial Spirit in the air, "Eat it!"
Roar!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit let out an excited howl, diving straight into Mi Jiaro's body.
"A'erfa! You will be consumed by the Holy Fire and have your soul scattered! Ah!"
A shrill cry sounded, followed by a scream, which then ended.
Whew!
The Pope let out a long breath, relieved, and said, "Thank goodness Mr. Jiang arrived in time, otherwise the angel would have taken advantage of my efforts to boost Mi Jiaro's strength to sneak through!"
"It's not…"
Roar!
Just as Jiang Chen was about to respond politely, a dragon roar sounded. The True Dragon Martial Spirit emerged from Mi Jiaro's body and dove into Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness, opening its mouth to expel energy!
"Damn it!"
Caught off guard, Jiang Chen hurriedly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immediately entered introspection.
In Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
The First Soul sat weakly, near death, in the center.
Whoosh!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit suddenly appeared in the Sea of Consciousness, opened its mouth, and a vast and pure Soul Force spewed from it.
The First Soul's expression changed slightly, and with a swift gesture of its small hands, the pure Soul Force surged towards it.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A powerful soul wave erupted from the First Soul.
"Get down!"
After a while, the First Soul shouted softly, waving its hands downward.
Whoosh!
The True Dragon Martial Spirit disappeared from the Sea of Consciousness.
In Jiang Chen's Dantian.
The Second Soul lay languidly in the center of the Dantian, surrounded by an ocean-like amount of Spiritual Power.
Roar!
A dragon roar echoed as the True Dragon Martial Spirit appeared in the Sea of Consciousness, spraying the Second Soul with Soul Force.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A vortex emerged atop the Second Soul, wildly absorbing the Soul Force.
After a while, the Second Soul opened its eyes, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing with all its might!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the Soul Force was absorbed, strands of white radiance began to emanate from the Second Soul, instantly merging into the surrounding white ocean.
Outside!
The jungle's formation had been lifted, and powerful figures silently retreated. Mi Jiaro had awakened and was watching Jiang Chen, who was emanating a potent Soul Force, with the Pope and others with tense expressions.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from Jiang Chen, instantly reaching a critical point and then suddenly leaping, surpassing that critical point!
"Mr. Jiang has broken through!" Mi Jiaro exclaimed joyfully.
"The momentum is even more magnificent, and the Soul Force even deeper. Mr. Jiang has truly gained from his trials!" Dragon Saint marveled.
The Pope and others all smiled and nodded, pleased with Jiang Chen's breakthrough!
Buzz! Buzz!
Jiang Chen's aura continued to rise rapidly, soon approaching another critical point!
"Is... is Mr. Jiang going to directly break through to the Saint Realm?" Fa Rang asked in surprise.
The Pope and others raised their eyebrows, staring intently at Jiang Chen, eyes filled with anticipation.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's aura ceased to rise and began to slowly retract.
"Did he not breakthrough?"
The Pope looked at Jiang Chen, his gaze showing a hint of disappointment, then looked relieved and said, "It's probably for the best. If Mr. Jiang had broken through to the Saint Realm now, and sensed... he'd have his doubts about himself, and in this current situation, any self-doubt would be a disadvantage!"
"What?" You Xuan frowned slightly and turned to look at the Pope.
The Pope glanced at You Xuan, gently shaking his head, "It's nothing, but we all know that in the cultivation of a Martial Artist, haste brings mistakes. Mr. Jiang has just broken through to the peak of the Venerable Realm, and it's indeed not suitable for him to make another breakthrough so soon!"
Hearing this, Fa Rang and the others nodded lightly.
However, a hint of suspicion appeared in You Xuan's eyes.
