Chapter 120 Condensing Soul Core
Yu Tianyun took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to mobilize all his soul power to prepare for the upcoming difficult challenge.
He first took out the Primordial Immortal Grass, then swallowed all the leaves in one gulp. The taste was really not good, similar to grass, and quite tough. Only after swallowing it did Yu Tianyun feel the intense Primordial Qi suddenly rush into his body, merging with his own soul power and flowing through his meridians.
Yu Tianyun's soul power was originally in a liquid state, but under the influence of the Primordial Immortal Herb, it gradually became viscous. Before long, he felt an unbearable swelling and pain in his meridians.
This is because he ate all the leaves of the Hunyuan Immortal Grass at once. The Hunyuan Immortal Grass should be consumed one leaf at a time in order to gradually increase soul power. However, he swallowed it all at once, so the soul power he gained instantly was naturally extremely terrifying.
However, Yu Tianyun had no choice but to do this in order to directly condense his soul core. After all, there was still a significant gap between his soul power and that of a Title Douluo, and ten thousand years later, only Title Douluos would typically be able to condense soul cores. The effect of the Primordial Immortal Grass was to provide Yu Tianyun with soul power.
Then, Yu Tianyun took out the Evil God Pearl, his right hand transformed into a dragon claw, and he cut a wound between his eyebrows before gently pressing the Evil God Pearl onto his brow.
In the blink of an eye, his hand was empty; the Evil God Pearl had entered Yu Tianyun's spiritual sea, which was the upper dantian.
The energy within the Evil God Pearl surged forth like a flood bursting its banks. An evil energy began to permeate and merge into his flesh and blood.
Meanwhile, the main body of the Evil God Bead is also constantly shrinking.
Yu Tianyun sensed it all very clearly, but he had no time to control the dissipation of those evil energies. His target was the body of this Evil God Pearl; he wanted to transform it into a soul core carrier, so naturally he couldn't just watch it disappear.
He immediately mobilized the soul power within his body, guiding it to converge towards his brow and begin to merge into the Evil God Pearl.
After Yu Tianyun guided a continuous stream of soul power into the Evil God Pearl, the Evil God Pearl finally stopped dissipating and maintained its shape.
The soul power within the Evil God Pearl gradually increased, while the energy belonging to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had long since disappeared, its whereabouts unknown, and it was unclear where it had merged into Yu Tianyun's body.
The soul power gradually increased, and soon it filled the entire bead.
As Yu Tianyun channeled all his spiritual power to control the entire process, his soul power began to slowly rotate within the bead, gradually increasing in speed, while simultaneously compressing. With this compression, Yu Tianyun gradually increased the amount of soul power injected.
The liquid soul power became increasingly viscous, and its rotation speed increased under Yu Tianyun's control. Yu Tianyun could deeply feel that it was precisely because of the Evil God Pearl as a protective vessel that his liquid soul power was prevented from dissipating.
As time slowly passed, the liquid soul power gradually solidified, and Yu Tianyun's expression began to grow solemn. However, under his precise control, the soul power did not deviate in the slightest and maintained a stable rotation.
Compression, rotation, compression again, rotation again, and this process is repeated continuously.
Gradually, the solidified soul power took full shape. Suddenly, a tiny energy vortex appeared between Yu Tianyun's eyebrows, shaped like a funnel, spreading outwards like a bottomless pit, frantically attracting the elemental power of heaven and earth from the outside world.
Liu Erlong stared in astonishment at the changes occurring on Yu Tianyun. Apart from sensing the primordial energy of heaven and earth converging towards Yu Tianyun, she couldn't see anything else. She didn't understand what Yu Tianyun was doing. She could only stand blankly beside him, quietly guarding him.
As time went on, the vortex spun faster and faster, absorbing more and more energy. Yu Tianyun's body began to tremble slightly; the immense attraction not only drew in the primordial energy of heaven and earth but also absorbed Yu Tianyun's own soul power.
During this absorption process, Yu Tianyun had to continuously inject his soul power, causing the solidified soul power to continuously strengthen.
However, Yu Tianyun did not rashly increase his soul power output. Instead, he allowed the solidified soul power to absorb the soul power within his body on its own. Meanwhile, his mental control was constantly being strengthened to maintain the stability of the solidified soul power as much as possible.
Based on some memories from his previous life, he knew that in order for solid soul power to develop towards a soul core, it had to be kept in a stable state. Once it lost its stability, it would trigger a massive explosion with unimaginable consequences.
Under Yu Tianyun's deliberate control, his solidified soul power steadily and continuously increased. The rate at which the elemental energy of heaven and earth flowed in also continued to accelerate. However, the energy absorbed was primarily the primordial energy generated within his body from the Primordial Immortal Herb. Therefore, the impact and demand on the external world were not significant.
Liu Erlong had been dutifully protecting him from the sidelines. Seeing Yu Tianyun's slightly trembling body, she couldn't help but feel nervous, her eyes filled with concern.
Yu Tianyun's companionship over the past six months has made him a part of her heart, but she doesn't know what kind of feelings they are.
"It's probably the affection an aunt has for her nephew, yes, that's exactly the affection an aunt has for her nephew!" Liu Erlong thought to himself.
Yu Tianyun's eyes, even through his eyelids, emitted a faint red and blue light. He increased his mental energy output again, still steadily controlling the rotation of his solidified soul power.
Time passed second by second, and Yu Tianyun didn't know how much time had gone by. Nearly half of his soul power had been integrated into the solid soul power in the Evil God Pearl.
At this moment, he realized that he could no longer stop the rotation of this solidified soul power. His mental energy could only maintain its stability, but it was impossible to stop it. If he tried to force it, there would only be one outcome: his body would explode and he would die!
It's all or nothing!
However, he was still very confident in himself.
Yu Tianyun continued to output soul power, and his spiritual power remained undiminished. The golden spiritual power surrounding the Evil God Pearl was constantly increasing, helping it to maintain stability.
The terrifying fluctuations in soul power continued to rise, and Yu Tianyun began to feel somewhat overwhelmed. However, he was still able to persevere. In terms of mental power, the Evil God Pearl helped him maintain the stability of his solidified soul power, making him much more relaxed. In terms of soul power, the Primordial Immortal Grass provided a continuous supply, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
This fully demonstrates that he was well prepared.
At this moment, the rotation speed of the solidified soul power had become so fast that even Yu Tianyun could not perceive it.
Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded—the originally blue-purple solid soul power gradually turned into a pale gold. Moreover, the gold color continued to deepen.
This is the attribute transformation of solidified soul power, but Yu Tianyun chose not the lightning attribute, but the spirit attribute.
Although Yu Tianyun isn't a Soul Master with a mental attribute, he still possesses mental power! Moreover, the strength of his mental power is comparable to that of an average Title Douluo. All Soul Masters possess mental attributes; the only difference lies in the degree of their power!
Therefore, it is entirely possible for him to condense a spiritual soul core, a decision he made when he chose his upper dantian. The upper dantian, also known as the sea of spirit, is undoubtedly the most suitable place to condense a spiritual soul core. As for a lightning-attribute soul core, Yu Tianyun plans to condense it later, choosing either his chest or lower abdomen at that time.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun's remaining Primordial Immortal Herb Power was also running low. He began to exert his mental strength to control the remaining Soul Power within his body, in order to slow down the rate at which it was being absorbed. This was because the solidified Soul Power was not only absorbing his Soul Power, but also drawing in the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth from the air. As the amount of his own Soul Power being absorbed decreased, the amount of Yuan Power absorbed from the air would increase.
The rotation speed continued to accelerate, and the entire Evil God Pearl gradually changed from pale gold to gold. In addition to the powerful fluctuations of soul power, it also emitted a very strong mental fluctuation.
Yu Tianyun's spiritual power, which was originally meant to protect the Evil God Pearl, was now being drawn to and stuck to it, being devoured and absorbed by the solidified soul power inside.
As a result, the speed at which this solidified soul power absorbed the elemental power of heaven and earth and Yu Tianyun's soul power also slowed down, giving Yu Tianyun more time to catch his breath.
Yu Tianyun silently observed the entire process, accumulating experience for his next soul core condensation.
However, he didn't have much time to catch his breath. As the golden light emanating from the solidified soul power within the Evil God Pearl grew stronger, Yu Tianyun felt increasingly strained.
He gritted his teeth and persevered, sensing that he was close to success.
Since he used the Evil God Pearl as a carrier to directly condense the soul core in his sea of consciousness, as long as he condensed the soul core, it meant that he had succeeded and there was no need for the step of fusing the soul core.
Without the Evil God Pearl as a carrier, it would be extremely dangerous for him to condense solid soul power in his sea of consciousness, as he could easily shatter it.
It was the final moment. Yu Tianyun's body swayed more and more violently, and the golden light turned into a bright gold. Tiny spatial cracks began to appear on the Evil God Pearl.
Yu Tianyun was still gritting his teeth and persevering. He had pushed his mental power to its limit and was constantly merging into the crack. The cracks began to turn golden, and within that gold, the black of the spatial rift was faintly visible.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun was surprised to find that this solidified soul power was no longer just absorbing soul power and mental power, but had begun to absorb the spatial power contained in the surrounding spatial rifts.
"Is this the secret to forming a soul core?" Yu Tianyun frowned slightly, trying his best to control his power while carefully comprehending and observing.
"That's right, that should be it. That solidified soul power is clearly devouring the spatial power in the spatial rift. Strangely, as the spatial power is being devoured, the rift is actually getting bigger and bigger, with more spatial power filling it."
Yu Tianyun now understood that the spatial power was the reason why the soul core stored and absorbed soul power; in other words, the soul core was like a black hole.
Yu Tianyun frowned, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had already increased his output of soul power and mental power to the maximum extent. At this moment, he was undoubtedly going all out.
On the surface of the Evil God Pearl, deep spatial cracks were intensifying, and the distortion and fluctuation of space appeared extremely strange. Yu Tianyun had been carefully sensing it, deeply engraving all his insights into his mind.
Normally, when would he have the chance to sense spatial fluctuations? Even if he unleashed his full power, his powerful attacks could not create spatial rifts.
You have to understand that the Douluo Continent of today is not comparable to the Douluo Continent of ten thousand or twenty thousand years from now.
The space in the Douluo Continent is extremely stable now, unlike in later generations where ordinary Title Douluos could open spatial rifts.
At this moment, around his compressed, solidified soul power, spatial fluctuations appeared continuously and densely. His own soul power and mental power were closely connected to it, making it relatively easy to sense.
Finally, the spatial cracks on the surface of the Evil God Pearl had become as fine as a net. Black cracks continued to appear, being devoured and absorbed by the solidified soul power within the Evil God Pearl. The rotation speed of that solidified soul power was also nearing its limit, and the space within the Sea of Spirit began to distort.
Yu Tianyun can now deeply sense that the Evil God Pearl contains an extremely large and terrifying amount of soul power.
"I'll risk it all!" Yu Tianyun roared in his heart, mobilizing all his remaining soul power and spiritual power and pouring them all into the Evil God Pearl.
Success or failure hinges on this!
Suddenly, the Evil God Pearl trembled slightly. In that instant, Yu Tianyun felt extremely uncomfortable—the solid soul power that had been spinning at high speed suddenly stopped, without any inertia, going from extreme motion to extreme stillness.
However, in the next instant, Yu Tianyun felt as if he were in the vast and boundless universe, surrounded by strange and gentle spatial forces.
In an instant, all the space within his sea of consciousness collapsed around the Evil God Pearl, as if his sea of consciousness had been completely torn apart.
However, in the instant after being torn apart, his sea of consciousness seemed to recombine, and he regained his senses. Yu Tianyun suddenly felt that the Evil God Pearl in his sea of consciousness was like a black hole, constantly absorbing soul power.
He could clearly feel a close connection between himself and the black hole vortex, as if it were part of his body.
The Evil God Pearl has completely merged with the solidified soul power vortex and become Yu Tianyun's soul core!
"Did I finally succeed?" Yu Tianyun murmured to himself.
