The two of them move towards the west. In comparison to other directions, there were far fewer enemies westward. Wang Ling flapped his wings and used soaring devil, Bai Xue used her mist-like cloud.

The cloud on her paws was called [Phantom Cloud], it was the innate technique of the Phantom Cloud Tiger. It grants a sharp increase on speed as it lets the Phantom Cloud Tiger traverse the skies of the night.

Bai Xue chose not to enlarge as her big body will cause her to have a hard time weaving through the trees. Bai Xue could not alter her original body and add wings on her back while she's in her white fox form. Her innate techniques weren't all-powerful and had limitations. She can only alter her form freely when she's taking the form of others, but not while she's on her white fox form.

Aside from shrinking and growing bigger, she can only use the innate techniques of the beast he manages to devour.

Wang Ling, on the other hand, had no problem with his wings and used it to move quicker. With his sword out, he and Bai Xue rushed the west to kill their way out.

Bai Xue started the fight by igniting everything with her flames. She gathered everything in her mouth and let it all out in one big blow. Many caught fire and whether it be beasts or humans, they were all startled.

With the distraction of the flames, Wang Ling jumped into that hot and infernal like a forest without any hesitation. His body was very resistant to flames and no ordinary flames can hurt him.

Even with Bai Xue's flames that came from the Phoenix could not easily hurt Wang Ling. Jumping into the flames, Wang Ling started to slay everything on his path.

His body started to twist and turn as he chose his opponents well, not picking anyone stronger than a level-1 nascent soul stage enemy. Bai Xue's little body was small but her moves were swift and deadly.

Her Phantom Cloud granted her speed and adding that to her already fast movements. With her and Wang Ling moving as fast as they could to weave through the enemies without any remorse on who they kill, whether it be humans or spirit beast, they were like a whirlwind that swept everything up their feet.

Wang Ling's spirit qi was being drained fast. Although his spirit qi was plentiful and denser compared to other cultivators, continues fights were not a possibility. He was in a race against time.

"SCRAM!!!" Wang Ling's sword grew quicker and deadlier. Only targeting the vitals of every enemy he can take and letting Bai Xue clean up the rest, the duo started to become more and more like a demon.

The strongest people on the west area was a level-4 nascent soul spirit beast, but even that had to run away when Bai Xue began to rampage with her small stature.

She was like a fireball that can mutilate anything that gets on her way. With a roar, Bai Xue began a massacre, it was as if she was drunk on the fervor of the battle that she did not even care about the dangers.

Using the burning trees as platforms, she jumped all over the place. Every time she jumped, she will pass through an enemy and that unlucky fellow will die as blood started spurting out of his body.

Body parts were flying all over the place and wails and roars echoed. It was full chaos and no one knew what was happening.

The earth was dyed red with the blood of spirit beasts and humans alike. The duo held no discrimination over who they should kill. They were quickly managing to break through the west area. In the surrounding area, fights were breaking out.

Wang Ling saw the end of the west area and cried out, "Bai Xue, take out a spirit beast and take it with you! I'll breakthrough after getting out of this place. I'll also do the same."

With that said, Wang Ling focused his movement techniques to the fullest and with his sword positioned perfectly, stab his sword in one of the weaker spirit beasts in the area.

The spirit beast wanted to retaliate, but Wang Ling's aura of slaughter run through the body of the spirit beast and destroyed every internal organ it had. Its brain turned into mush by the time he was done with it.

Carrying it by the neck, Wang Ling retreated from all the chaotic events. He turned around and saw Bai Xue moving along as well. Reaching his side, Bai Xue was also carrying a spirit beast on her mouth.

Her form was already that of the Black Tiger, Wang Ling did not know when she transformed back, but it was no problem. Wang Ling got on her back she sped away and run away from all that chaos.

They run as far they could and before they knew it, they were already on the foot of the highest hill. Just below the palace where Master Black entered.

The pair was hesitant to move here, but after going in circles, they manage to find a passage.

Although the two of them wanted to avoid this place while Master Black was in the palace. But the two of them had no choice but they had no good cover where they could stay.

The two of them went around the hill a couple of times wanting to see if there was any hollowed out area they can enter. Unfortunately, they were unable to find one but a little bit further from the back of the hill was a dwelling.

The dwelling had a big entrance, it was over twenty meters large. Seeing the large entrance only meant that the beast inside was also big. Bai Xue scanned the area to see if there was any living being inside and confirmed that there was none.

Entering the dwelling that seemingly had not been used for an unknown amount of time. Wang Ling found it weird that no one had ever tried to enter this place. Those spirit beasts were all living here since this place was locked so why would they not enter this dwelling?

This was the perfect place where they can create a good fortress for themselves and breed without care for living space. Wang Ling had an idea but that idea was somewhat of a stretch.

That idea was, there used to be a beast living here and those spirit beast outside revered it that even after its death, they dared not defile or enter its dwelling. There was a chance this was true or not. Either way, this place was empty and it was the perfect place where he can raise his cultivation.

Taking the beast from Bai Xue, Wang Ling extracted the blood essence in its body before entering deep into the dwelling. He took every bit of stellar stone from the storage rings and handed Bai Xue the beast cores.

The unneeded pills and medicinal plants he kept with him were also given to Bai Xue because they had already served their purpose of enriching his soul and helping his qi to reach the peak. Anymore of absorption will amount to being wasted so he gave the rest to Bai Xue who could potentially increase her strength and recuperate what she had spent.

"Although bloodline mutation is crucial for my cultivation, call me if anything that is beyond you comes out. I am already experienced in forming the nascent soul so I only need to solidify my path." Wang Ling spoke with heavy words.

Bai Xue responded with a hearty laugh as she said, "Shishishi, don't worry, I'll slap you if I need to! Now go! Once you break through we will plunder everyone here and soar to the next level!"

With Bai Xue's assurance, Wang Ling lightly nodded his head and entered deep within the dwelling.

He started setting up and used up every spirit stone and stellar stones in his possession. He laid out 100,000 spirit stone and then 15,000 stellar stones. Sitting in the middle of the two mounds he had created, Wang Ling brought out the bottles of devil blood from his storage ring.

He calmed his breath and opened every bottle. He drank them all down without hesitation and as soon as he did, his blood churned and his body heated.

His originally white and pristine skin became red and veins started appearing from underneath his skin. The black tattoo on his back began to shine resplendently as his blood continued to churn.

Hours passed and Wang Ling was still in pain. With his blood essence changing and veins and arteries widening, changes were beginning to appear inside his body and his connection with Hell Realm began to become stronger.

Aside from his veins and arteries, the refinement of his physical body started. The bloodline of the devils he got from the spirit beasts started getting refined and so did his body.

The Hell Domination Body was originally a body refinement technique that was supposed to lead to godhood. However, one can only use the refinement state when the mutation of the bloodline occurs.

Wang Ling's vitality steadily increased with his bloodline mutating to the next level. Black light shot out of his body and a cocoon formed around him and inside that cocoon, his body started experiencing great changes.

Time passed and his tattoo began to spread. The wing tattoo was his wings and for his wings to spread only meant one thing, his second pair of wings was appearing.

As if his wing was branching out, the tattoo wriggled around his back as if it was trying to solidify its next form. Wang Ling experienced hell as his body began to mutate. His wings were not some qi formed technique, it was like another arm growing out of his body.

Bones would be constructed and his feathers would grow, only one can imagine how painful the process of these wings appearing. After several more hours, the wings started to solidify.

His cultivation instantaneously shot up a from half-step nascent soul stage even before he can form his nascent soul. The improvement he got from his bloodline mutation initiated his soul to change.

Inside his energy palace, a translucent figure that resembled him appeared, and on that figure's back was a single pair of wings. The embryonic form of his nascent soul was being formed right this instant.

However, just as his wings and nascent soul was about to be completed, everything halted.

Wang Ling opened his eyes as another rift opened atop his spirit ocean appeared. The rift to the Hell Realm was black, but this time, the rift was white and as another rift opened, his soul resonated with it.

The deepest parts of the Heaven Realm connected with Wang Ling and right now, the white area of the Hell Spark dominated 45% of the marble.

After that, his blood essence which already had the bloodline of devils and humans trembled. Another bloodline was attempting to integrate itself on Wang Ling's body.

Time seemed to stop for Wang Ling as his perception of time became dull. His eyes opened the same time the rift opened atop his spirit ocean and right now, everything in sight was white.

Everything was untainted, unblemished by any kind of impurity. No matter where he looked, whether it be left or the right, up or down, everything was colored white. Only his 'body' was not.

Wang Ling felt his soul-stirring but the silence in that place made him feel comfortable. Just as his soul was beginning to feel comfortable, an archaic sounding bell echoed in his ears.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

He looked around but saw no bell. The sound was loud and annoying but soon evolved into something unpleasant. Wang Ling covered his ears as his blood began to churn.

He could feel it, the same feeling he got when his bloodline first mutated into a True Devil Warrior. The change back then was elicited by the pouring in hellish qi coming from the depths of hell.

But this time, what is beginning to change him was no qi, but the sound coming from a bell he could not see. The sound of the bell came from afar, but it still made his soul stir and an unnoticeable amount of pain.

What if the bell was here then? Will tear his soul to many pieces? Wang Ling did not want to know the result of such a scenario.

Three bell chimes echoed out in total, but the stirring of his soul was bad enough to shake his entire being.

Dong!

One more chime echoed and this time his soul started from a stir into full trembling. The fourth chime was devastating and was far stronger in comparison to the first three.

As the fourth chime echoed out, information started flowing inside his head.

"To 'overturn' the heavens, one will first need a foundation that can hold up the falling skies, what follows is the soul that will represent the layer of heaven of you can conquer. There are Nine Layers in Heaven, One Ring represented a layer and to gain a single layer, Nine Chimes from the 'Bell of the Ruler' must echo from the highest layer of heaven.

"Endure Nine Chimes and you will connect to the First Layer, Endure Eighteen Chimes and you will connect to the Second Layer… Endure Eighty-one Chimes and you will connect to the Ninth Layer. Connect to a single layer, you will be granted strength you never existed. Open the path that leads to the overturning of heaven, seize the blood that will let you control everything. And face the tribulations heavens will give you!

"The path to becoming an Overlord that can overturn the heavens can only be one. The first trial of the First Layer cannot be stopped only endured. If you fail to complete this trial, you will lose every qualification to gain the right to become the Overlord that rules all Nine Layers of Heaven."

Dong!

As the long message ended, the fifth chime echoed and pain swept through his entire being. Inside the cocoon, Wang Ling's body was curled up into a ball as his face reflected the pain.

The originally black cocoon was now half-covered with white.

Beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. Wang Ling was in pain but had no intention of giving up. He was aware of the information that was injected directly into his brain.

Death will be his fate if he fails to overcome this hurdle. Wang Ling did not want such a fate.

Dong!

The sixth bell chime rang and Wang Ling roared out as the pain became unbearable.

Dong!

The seventh bell chime echoed and his soul felt like it was tearing. Inside his energy palace where the embryonic form of his nascent soul was located. Experienced change as his sufferings continued.

A translucent ring was appearing on the back of his head.

Dong!

The eight chime and Wang Ling's six orifices that were on his head began to bleed black blood. His blood essence that contains both human and devil properties started to change as another kind of bloodline started to produce.

His blood essence where his bloodline would be decided became a full-on battlefield. His True Devil bloodline and the newcomer bloodline were trying to settle which was more dominant.

But that was not all, in his spirit ocean, the white qi of Heaven Realm poured in and began fighting with its polar opposite hellish qi. Heaven Qi and Hell Qi began to fight and his bloodline that was the devil and most likely, the new bloodline being a holy bloodline started to clash.

His blood, his qi, his soul, and himself fought its own. Although the last bell has yet to chime and his True Devil bloodline has yet to fully form, he was already dying for many reasons.

Wang Ling would die sooner or later if nothing was done. This unprecedented event was something good if only a single factor was present. But there were two opposing factors present and this caused a clash between the two.

Inside his body was true chaos.

Dong!

As the ninth bell chimed a soul tearing pain made his body tremble. His skin began to crack and blood flowed out of his newly opened wound incessantly. However, he just gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure.

The ninth bell ended and as of this moment, his nascent soul and his physical body now had an aureate colored Halo on the back of his head. Information regarding various things flowed in his mind.

Starting from what the white qi and bloodline then into his First Layer conquered on his Nine Rings Overlord Soul, he learned various things but did not have enough time to care about it as his life was not out of danger yet.

As the ninth bell chime ended, everything started to turn into motion. Wang Ling's bloodline mutation continued. His original pair of wings sprouted out of his back and together with it was the new set.

As his second set of wings appeared his nascent soul experienced its final change. Two sets of wings appeared on the back of his nascent soul form complete with the black glowing tattoo.

His nascent soul was completed and he was now a genuine nascent soul stage cultivator.

He then took notice of his bloodline were two opposing sides were present in one place. Same went for his qi, almost every part of his body was in synch, although slightly damaged, except for these two areas.

However, Wang Ling could not do anything about it as he knew that the forces inside his body were two opposites. It didn't take a minute before the suppression of his bloodline and qi broke. The clash happened once again.

[I need to do something.

I don't need to become so bounded, I only need them to form an equilibrium. And the only way to do that is with this…]

Wang Ling had to think of an idea and a good idea popped up inside his head. Forcing the two opposing forces to separate for a single moment, Wang Ling circulated his spirit qi and human bloodline that held no particular attribute as a margin that separates the two.

Wang Ling segregated his entire cultivation in two. Using his supreme spirit qi he made his white qi from Heaven Realm called, [Angelic Qi] to form a boundary to the hellish qi, Wang Ling's body was separated in two different parts.

His right was the Heaven-like side and his left was the Hell-like area.

However, this will not be for so long as he had the intention of letting the two qi mingle with one another as soon as he gains better control of his angelic qi. And as for his bloodlines, it was the same situation with his qi but much more tamed.

After all, his newly mutated bloodline as far stronger than the newly integrated bloodline Wang Ling got from having his soul resonate with the chimes of the bell. The change in Wang Ling's body was immense.

When he settled everything, Wang Ling learned of something new. And that was, the heavens have yet to bring down his tribulations.

Not that it had no plan of doing so, it was just that, outside the Mini World, clouds were already gathering.

=====

Three days inside the Mini World!

Inside the palace of the True Devil King. The oh-so-mysterious Master Black has completed the needed procedure and gains entry to the altar of the True Devil Palace.
