Chapter 221 Preparing to Condense the First Soul Core

Chapter 221 Preparing to Condense the First Soul Core

He absorbed two spirit rings from ferocious beasts at the same time. This time, Huo Yuhao's absorption process was exceptionally difficult; even for a spirit master as gifted as him, it took him a full three hours. During this time, his body and mind underwent unprecedented trials.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai, a ferocious beast with 300,000 years of cultivation, possessed a spirit ring containing immense power. The Demon Eye Tree Ten Thousand Demon King, a super ferocious beast with over 500,000 years of history, possessed a spirit ring containing even more terrifying power. After absorbing these two sixth spirit rings, Huo Yuhao experienced a qualitative leap in his spirit power level, directly reaching level sixty-seven.

As his soul power level increased, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel a tremendous change occurring within his body. His soul power was now beginning to liquefy, a change that signified a qualitative leap in his strength, with both the density and intensity of his soul power greatly enhanced.

Next, Huo Yuhao is about to embark on the most crucial step in his Soul Master career: condensing his first Soul Core. This step is extremely difficult and dangerous for any Soul Master, but Huo Yuhao, with his talent and hard work, is well-prepared.

In fact, Huo Yuhao originally planned to begin condensing his soul core only after reaching the Soul Saint level, but his progress was so rapid that even he himself was surprised. He realized that now was the best time to condense his soul core, and he couldn't miss this opportunity.

Before they began to condense the soul core, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance.

Then, Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes, began to regulate his breathing and mind, and entered a state of ethereal focus. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the whole world became quiet.

After a long period of preparation and adjustment, when Huo Yuhao reopened his eyes, his eyes had undergone an astonishing change. His original blue eyes had turned into a pale white-gold, like the sky at dawn, full of mystery and power. And in the very center of his brow, golden light began to slowly flow, a sign that his soul core was about to form.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness. He knew that he was about to embark on a completely new path, a path leading to a higher realm. And all of this began with the soul core he was about to condense.

Now, Huo Yuhao's soul power had liquefied, marking a new level of cultivation. In the Douluo Continent, the liquefaction of soul power was an extremely rare achievement, attained only by a select few powerful individuals. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was focused on controlling his soul power, constantly guiding it out of his body. The golden liquid soul power seemed to possess a life of its own, slowly being forced out from his pores, gently floating before his eyes, forming a strange and wondrous sight.

The amount of liquid soul power gradually increased, and Huo Yuhao's mental power, like an invisible conductor, guided the golden liquid soul power to slowly compress. Under his powerful mental control, the soul power seemed to be given life, and began to flow slowly according to his will. With each rotation, the soul power became more viscous, as if undergoing some kind of mysterious transformation.

Under Huo Yuhao's control, the liquid soul power began to slowly circulate, becoming more viscous with each rotation. Originally, the liquid soul power was like pure milk, clear and pure; now, its viscosity resembled yogurt, thick and rich in texture. This change was not merely cosmetic, but a qualitative leap in its internal energy.

Seeing the ever-thickening soul power surrounding Huo Yuhao, even Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for him. In the history of Douluo Continent, to condense one's first soul ring at around level sixty was truly unprecedented and unparalleled. Such an achievement was unimaginable even for those exceptionally talented soul masters.

However, Huo Yuhao had already created too many miracles, so Gu Yuena still chose to believe in him. She knew that Huo Yuhao had achieved extraordinary things in his previous life; he had condensed an unprecedented three-soul core, which was unique in the history of Douluo Continent.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. With his experience from his previous life and his efforts in this life, Huo Yuhao might just be able to condense a soul core at the Soul Emperor level and make history once again.

Under Huo Yuhao's precise control, the vast amount of soul power seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible hand, without the slightest leakage. He precisely compressed this soul power between his palms, as if performing a silent alchemy. Now, the soul power in front of Huo Yuhao had become as thick as magma, radiating awe-inspiring heat and energy fluctuations.

Within the magma-like soul power, a nascent solid form was slowly taking shape. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Huo Yuhao's forehead, a sign that he was concentrating his mental energy on precise manipulation. He knew that only through continuous compression could he unleash the full potential of his soul power.

Compression, compression, and more compression—under this constant compression and rotation, the solidified soul power began to accumulate. Huo Yuhao's hands seemed to transform into two bottomless vortexes, devouring all the surrounding soul power. His gaze was firm and focused, as if he were waging a silent battle against the power of heaven and earth.

Even after his soul power had completely solidified, Huo Yuhao didn't stop what he was doing; he continued to compress the solidified soul power in front of him. His movements became slower and slower, but each compression contained immense power. Under his control, the solidified soul power became increasingly dense and lustrous.

Before Huo Yuhao, the density of his solidified soul power increased dramatically, and the surrounding天地魂力 (heaven and earth soul power) began to frantically flow into Huo Yuhao's compressed liquid soul power. It was as if an invisible force was drawing in the surrounding energy. A powerful aura formed around Huo Yuhao, causing even the particles in the air to tremble.

As time went on, the suction force of the solidified soul power grew stronger and stronger, not only frantically absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth soul power, but also absorbing the soul power within Huo Yuhao's body. He felt as if his body had merged with the energy of the outside world, and every breath felt like an energy exchange with the universe.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was currently wearing the Ice Extreme War God Armor. This armor not only provided him with powerful defense but also continuously supplied him with terrifying spiritual power. The runes on the Ice Extreme War God Armor shimmered with a ghostly blue light, providing him with endless power.

Huo Yuhao focused intently on sensing every subtle change in the soul power within his body. He could clearly feel that the rotation and absorption force of the solidified soul power were gradually stabilizing. This sense of stability was undoubtedly a very positive sign for him.

Ultimately, the first essential element for condensing a soul core is stability; only a stable soul core can truly fulfill its intended purpose. If the soul core is unstable, it's no different from a soul-guided bomb that could explode at any moment. Not only will it fail to help the soul master improve their strength, but it will also become a deadly threat.
