After several hours, the heavenly lightning wrath finally subsided. Xie Zuzhou and Jian Xieshen left the cave to inspect the damage caused by the heavens. They discovered that most of the Ancient Devil Domain had been destroyed, and countless members of the devil race had died in the attacks, significantly reducing their population.

Xie Zuzhou’s expression turned grim and furious after he examined everything. He stared at the sky with hatred, but he himself didn’t have the guts to challenge the heavens after what had happened in the past.

Jian Xieshen grabbed his shoulder. "Order all your subordinates not to approach places like the Heaven Tower now! If heaven is furious and sends down more lightning wrath, then this domain will be completely obliterated, and your subordinates will be wiped out."

"Sigh." Xie Zuzhou immediately contacted all his subordinates in other domains and strictly ordered them to avoid places like the Heaven Tower. "What should we do now?"

"Nothing! Many of your subordinates died today, so you have to find new people and turn them into devils." Jian Xieshen flew back toward the cave, with Xie Zuzhou following behind him. "Besides, my strength hasn’t fully returned, and your new devil hasn’t been born yet, so we have to wait. Once everything is ready, we’ll go to the outside world and destroy those domains one by one, and you can turn their inhabitants into devils."

Xie Zuzhou inwardly sighed. "We have made many plans to take over this Supreme Realm, but I am sure that brats and those immortals will not remain silent, and they will definitely make plans to counter us."

"Heh!" Jian Xieshen snorted. "If I can regain my past strength plus the gift that woman gave me, I can defeat them easily, including Huang Lingzhu. At that time, I will torture that damned woman for killing me in the past, and we will use her to smooth our plans."

"Are you sure you can beat that woman? After all, she is the strongest immortal, right?"

Jian Xieshen grinned. "Let’s see when the time comes."

Meanwhile, a man who was none other than the embodiment of Heaven stood before Chaos and several women. "You’re really hot-headed, kid."

"Father, I know you are upset by my actions, but I will never allow those heretics to set foot in my sacred place."

Chaos sighed. "Forget it! It’s all done! If you dare do such a thing, I will erase you and replace you with another. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Father." The man immediately disappeared from that place.

Chaos waved his hands, creating two qi screens. The Qi screen on the left shows the activity of Ling Yun’s clone in the trial tower, and the one on the right displays the activity of his real body in the Chaos Dragon Domain.

"Father, that kid is becoming more and more focused on increasing his strength," Will said.

Fate then spoke. "Even so, I doubt he can defeat our father."

"Whether Ling Yun can defeat our father or not, we will find out in the future," Law chimed in. "For now, he only needs to undo two more seals in his bloodline. After that, he can take our brother’s core and heart, and he will transform into the new primordial chaos dragon at that time."

"What do you think Ling Yun will do if he succeeds in defeating our father?"

"I don’t know."

"He might change this universe according to his taste."

"What will happen to us if Ling Yun replaces our father as the core of this universe?"

"Alright, you guys don’t need to think about that, and you just have to wait for the right time." Chaos spoke immediately. "Ling Yun will be able to defeat me in the future, but not with his current strength. He’ll have to be stronger than Long Hun to defeat me. As for the rest of you, I can’t say anything right now, and you just have to wait until the day of our battle arrives."

"Yes, Father."

Ling Yun’s clone had already completed the second challenge, and he didn’t encounter any significant obstacles. He decided to send Peng Tianlei back to the Yunlong Zhuzhai to dual cultivate with his real body because he would be spending time in the tower, and he also asked all the female beasts guarding outside the tower to enter and try those challenges.

Ling Yun looked at the cultivators who were also challenging the tower, checking their status. However, most of them were cultivators with cultivations in the Five God Realms, and he didn’t find anything special about them.

After ensuring the domain was completely safe and free from any disturbance from demons, Ling Yun proceeded to the next challenge, even though it wouldn’t be an obstacle for him. He decided to bring all his women to the domain in the future, but he would wait until all the seals within his bloodline were broken.

Time flies and two months have already passed.

Ling Yun and senior cultivators like An Yufei had no trouble completing all the challenges on the first floor of the Trial Tower, but all of his children had quite a difficult time with it, and it took them two full months to complete them all.

More and more cultivators gathered at the tower, but Ling Yun didn’t find anything interesting about them. He led his group to the second floor, where they saw many cultivators with cultivations in the Five God Realms and the Three Immortal Realms gathered there to undergo those soul challenges.

As before, Ling Yun checked their status to look for cultivators with exceptional talent, but none of them had anything outstanding. "How long did it take you guys to complete all the challenges on the second floor?"

"Back then, it took me three months at the fastest," Xin Xinghe answered him.

"The first time I tried, it took me six months." Ling Yun turned to Kong Bailing. "At that time, I wasn’t focused on soul cultivation, so I was overwhelmed by those soul challenges. Since then, I started focusing on increasing my soul power, but it still took me four months to pass them."

"What about you?"

Yin Jingmo smiled wryly. "Just like Kong Bailing, it took me four months too."

"I finished everything in three months," Tian Jingyun said.

"Me too," Wen Chang answered him.

"I see."

Ling Yun looked at his future daughters-in-law, making Zhu Quezi embarrassed. "It took me five months last time, and I haven’t tried again since."

"What about you, An Yufei?"

An Yufei smiled confidently. "Last time, it only took me a month to complete all the challenges on the second floor. After all, I am a soul cultivator, so I am better prepared to face all the challenges than they are."

"As cultivators, we cannot focus solely on our physical strength, but we must also increase our soul strength; only then will we become perfect cultivators." Ling Yun pointed to his children. "That’s why I always emphasize that they should study soul cultivation, and their soul strength is already quite high, even though their cultivation level is still low."

An Yufei nodded. "Huang’er has already imparted that soul technique to me, and I have studied it for the past few years."

"Me too," Zhu Quezi said. "However, I am not talented in soul cultivation, and my progress is slower than Yufei."

"Haha," Ling Yun laughed. "Talent without effort is useless, right? Even if you lack talent in soul cultivation, you should not give up on learning it, and Huang’er can assist you with dual soul cultivation. All my wives and I always dual soul cultivated when our bodies were dual cultivating, so our bodies and souls have developed rapidly in the past few decades."

Zhu Quezi blushed as she stole a glance at Nu Huang. "I’ll do that later, but we have to start these soul challenges, and we’ll go to the third floor to face those mental challenges afterward."

"Wait." Ling Yun looked around before releasing his soul from his body. Although his physical strength wasn’t as strong as his real body because he was only a clone, his clone possessed the same soul as his real body.

An Yufei and the others fell dumbfounded after they saw Ling Yun’s colorful soul, which no living creature, including them, possessed.

"How... how can your soul be colorful like that?"

"Secret." Ling Yun winked at them.

"What level is your soul power at, Ling Yun?" Xin Xinghe asked.

"Hmm?" Ling Yun rubbed his chin. "My soul power should be at the godly soul level."

Xin Xinghe and the others almost fell over after Ling Yun said that, and they stared at him in disbelief. They were much more senior than him, but none of them had reached that stage. However, they didn’t know that he didn’t have one soul like them but ten, which made him superior to them in that regard.

Nu Huang pulled An Yufei and Zhu Quezi aside, whispering to them, ’You two don’t need to be surprised by my father’s soul power level because he is different from us, and he has ten souls.’

An Yufei and Zhu Quezi looked at Nu Huang in disbelief. ’Are you serious about that? Does your father really have ten souls?’

’You two are my wives, so I couldn’t possibly lie to you, right?’ Nu Huang glanced at Ling Yun. ’In fact, my father still has one more soul, but his eleventh soul is extremely evil because it is a devil soul.’

’Devil... devil soul!’ An Yufei and Zhu Quezi were shocked. ’How could your father have a devil soul?’

Nu Huang shook his head slightly. ’It’s a long story, so I’ll tell you two after we return from this tower.’

Ling Yun just smiled. "Let me try the first soul challenge."
