The sinister eroding wind rarely appeared, but there were exceptions for everything, such as when geniuses with unique physiques broke through.

Perhaps that was the workings of the natural law: to have a sort of trial for the geniuses to stop their advancement if they failed to overcome the calamity. Their failure might even result in death.

Unaware of the workings, Xiang Shaoyun was under attack by the sinister eroding wind, and he sensed that his soul power was on the verge of falling apart. If his soul power did fall apart, he would no longer be able to ignite his fate star, and he would no longer be able to enter the Skysoar Realm.

The sky darkened as the sinister eroding wind blew past.

”d.a.m.n it! What in the world is this?” Xiang Shaoyun cursed.

He could curse all he wanted, but it would not change the fact that the sinister eroding wind was a.s.saulting him. He needed to think of a way to break free from it. The sinister eroding wind seemed to be everywhere, and no matter how hard he tried, the wind followed him, slowly eroding his soul power bit by bit.

”Young master! You have to survive! If you can, you will reap a great harvest!” said Devouring Ghost.

Only the cultivator attempting the breakthrough could solve a calamity such as this, and no outsider could help. Thus, both Devouring Ghost and Du Xuanhao could only watch on anxiously.

When Xiang Shaoyun was on the verge of complete collapse, he suddenly thought of Ye Chaomu, who had just parted with him not long ago. He recalled the promise they had made to meet after seven years, and he roared, ”I, Xiang Shaoyun, am an absolute genius. How can something like this stop me? p.i.s.s off!”

With his roar, a resolute faith surged out of his mind, and his physical body that had remained on the ground seemed to react to it. His soul power erupted, once again reforming his soul high up in the sky. His soul became solid, a.s.suming a form that was the same as his physical body, and continued soaring up while ignoring the sinister eroding wind.

His soul had been cleansed by the soul spring, granting him a formidable soul power. And with his Nether Soul Domain and soul raising stone, he possessed a soul power that was far above his peers'.

The soul he had first sent flying to the sky had not been formed of the entirety of his soul power, but the desperation he felt under the sinister eroding wind's a.s.sault had helped him unleash all his soul power.

The sinister eroding wind continued corroding his willpower, but his soul was now incomparably solid, and not even the sinister eroding wind could stop his soul from forcing itself through the wind.

”Haha, what can a mere sinister eroding wind do to me?” Xiang Shaoyun howled with laughter. He did not waste any time and continued soaring into the sky.

”Good! Good! The young master has broken through the sinister eroding wind!” Devouring Ghost cried out in excitement. But immediately after, a completely different power appeared near Xiang Shaoyun again.

”What the h.e.l.l is it this time?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered doubtfully. The newly appeared power was a clump of scarlet cloud looking like a fireball. It kept changing its shape while ceaselessly emitting a scorching temperature.

”Why is this happening? Why is a scarlet flame cloud appearing?” Even Devouring Ghost was overwhelmed with shock.

”That's a scarlet flame cloud!” Du Xuanhao cried out in alarm as well.

The scarlet flame cloud was even bigger of a threat than the sinister eroding wind—capable of torching any soul power it touched. This was a calamity that would usually only appear when one was breaking through into the Emperor Realm.
